Resurrection Empire

Chapter 629 - 237 Are You Even Human?_2

Ren Zhong waved his hands repeatedly, "I didn’t say anything about the lower class. What I was talking about was just my employees, not all the Scavengers in the world! The value they create for others has nothing to do with me?"

"But this could create a better future for the civilization on Source Star."

"I’m just a pitiful Scavenger who has just become a Citizen, what qualifications do I have to consider these things? I believe that the top leaders of Source Star must have vision and wisdom, and the system they established must have its reasoning. Reporter Xiao, please don’t test me any longer, I’m very scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I’m afraid of being misunderstood by the ’net’. You are a Level Eight Telekinesis Master. You can say this without worries, but I don’t want to deal with the Hunters."

Xiao Xingyue smiled brightly, "Congratulations, you’ve passed the second type of psychological examination."

Ren Zhong exhaled deeply and patted his chest, "Terrifying. Really terrifying. You fake reporter."

Xiao Xingyue laughed again, "But have you ever thought that what you’re doing is actually in the same direction as the revolution I just mentioned. People’s desires will certainly rise with the improvement of material conditions. How do you plan to control this?"

Ren Zhong: "Source Star has the ’net’. Under the watch of the ’net’, no matter how much the ambitions of Scavengers swell, they are destined to remain Scavengers, and can only exist dependent on Citizens. There’s nothing to worry about."

"Yes, so never have the thought of revolution."

"Of course!"

"What we talked about today, I will report truthfully. You have passed two types of psychological examinations and you will receive the highest clearance from the Telekinesis Master organization."

Ren Zhong’s eyes lit up, "That’s wonderful news, you wouldn’t believe how often I hear from Mayor Ma that my threat index and risk index are rising, and it makes me very nervous each time."

"You no longer need to worry about that in the future."

"Thank you!"

Xiao Xingyue returned fully successful.

Ren Zhong also gained substantially.

This was a successful communication between two enigmatic figures under the gaze of the ’net’.

...

On the afternoon of the 94th day, Ren Zhong went to Chromium Carbon Town again.

His purpose was still to visit the mayor of Chromium Carbon Town.

He promised once again that his upcoming investments there would not lose to those in Starfire Town.

He would make the resources of the two towns more complementary.

For example, bringing more Elite Scavengers from Starfire Town to work in Chromium Carbon Town, to absorb the Ruined Beast resources that seemed excessive relative to the existing Scavenger Strength in Chromium Carbon Town.

This portion of the tax revenue would of course remain within Chromium Carbon Town.

The mayor expressed approval regarding this.

As for the opinions of the Scavengers in Chromium Carbon Town, do they matter?

Later, as Ren Zhong was having a pleasant conversation with Gao Zhengwen of the Chromium Carbon Mining Group, he received a communication request from Yu Junren.

Ren Zhong excused himself briefly and communicated with Yu Junren in his heart.

"The Mengdu Group is about to launch a special act and will start a scientific experiment in Starfire Town. Your personal property will receive the utmost respect. They will provide you with 1.5 times the excess compensation."

Ren Zhong’s pupils shrank.

This time he had changed many things, did not directly conflict with the Mengdu Group, and his social positioning was vastly different from last time, but the one thing that remained unchanged was the Mengdu Group’s contempt for Scavengers.

Perhaps his act of poaching personnel was an "unintentional mistake", but the wrath of the Mengdu Liao Yuan branch, unable to tolerate obstruction of their work, still led to the Legion Beast experiment being set here.

Ren Zhong feigned ignorance and asked again what the experiment was.

Yu Junren repeated the explanation once again, then said, "Actually, the Mengdu Group wanted to implement a personal special act on you, but was rebuffed by our joint effort with the Tanggu Group. We and the Tanggu Group put forward three demands to the Mengdu Group. First, no Legion Beasts above Level Six should be used in the scientific experiment. Second, the experiment must be postponed by 25 days to give you and your Scavengers ample preparation time. Considering the effort you’ve put into the Scavengers of Starfire Town. We believe the compensation price of two hundred points per person is too low; the Mengdu Group has increased the per person average compensation price to a thousand points. If all the Scavengers of Starfire Town die in the experiment, you will receive compensation of 180 million."

Ren Zhong: "Thank you."

"My personal suggestion is for you to abandon Starfire Town directly. Executive Gao Sheng promises to offer you another Satellite Town of Purple Crystal City with a population size of over eighty thousand."

"Let’s talk about that later. Starfire Town is the place where I started, and I’m someone who values the past. Even if everyone dies, I’ll rebuild Starfire Town. As for giving face to the Mengdu Group, I really don’t. I’m someone who eats soft and not hard."
