Chapter 630 - 237 Are You Even Human_3

"You... sigh..."

"By the way, Mr. Yu, if it’s convenient, I’d like to join the new extraction technology lab tonight. The company has helped me so much this time, I should express my gratitude both emotionally and logically."

Yu Junren smiled broadly at this, "You’re eager to start learning already? Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately."

"Mm, thank you very much."

After ending the communication with Yu Junren, Ren Zhong had a brief exchange with Gao Zhengwen, then hurriedly returned to the Chromium Carbon Resources Airship to retrieve the Ghost Particle Communicator and headed back to Starfire Town at first opportunity.

By evening, Ren Zhong arrived at the Chenhui Mine.

He first completed the employment procedures briefly and then appeared in the lab at the first opportunity.

His deputy team leader, Brother Ding, was as enthusiastic as ever, taking him around and explaining as they went along, striving to help him familiarize himself with the environment as quickly as possible.

Ren Zhong pretended to listen intently, but in reality, he was weighing his options in his mind.

Now, two choices lay before him.

First, to unleash his talents in this lab, wildly guiding the direction, and within two to three days, correct all the mistakes made by the project team from day 99 to day 119 on the previous timeline.

This would inevitably elevate Purple Crystal Mining’s regard for him to a new level.

At that point, according to normal logic and his persona, he should propose that Purple Crystal Mining take a more assertive stance in dealing with the Mengdu Group, forcing them to terminate the experiment that would affect his career development.

However, holding the encrypted code of the Legion Beast’s information flow, he wanted to meet the Legion Beast again.

This would allow him to rapidly accumulate a massive amount of Ruined Beast corpses through the experiment, exploding the wealth of everyone in town, while also letting the Starfire Town desolates experience a trial by blood and fire.

If Starfire Town achieved a complete victory in this experiment, besides gaining more combat experience and wealth, the desolates would also gain immense confidence and the cohesiveness generated by collective action under the army group mechanism.

After quietly considering for nearly two hours and comprehensively weighing various factors, Ren Zhong changed his plan again and decided to leave this war.

...

On the 95th day, during the noon break, stocks, a simple operation.

This time, the days were peaceful, with nothing happening.

His funds were not frozen.

When joining the Continent Level lab, he preemptively applied for 200 million special credit points from Purple Crystal Mining, then completed a partial portfolio adjustment, and also obediently paid a 2 billion donation, making up the credit points gap, and promptly raised his Citizen Level to Fourth Level.

The Securities and Exchange Commission didn’t even have the chance to play any tricks.

In fact, Ren Zhong considered transferring 2 billion to Ju Qingmeng and forcibly paying taxes to make up the shortfall, saving 1.8 billion later.

But then he dismissed the idea.

It was too deliberate, inhumane, and likely to arouse suspicion.

Moreover, transferring the money that way wouldn’t be enough to treat the Association as "one of our own."

After completing this set of actions, Ren Zhong didn’t leave the stock market but continued to dive in.

He was completing Yang Bingzhong’s unfinished business.

With a five times leverage boost to his funds, he went in short-selling, then fully withdrew.

After enjoying a total price increase of 85% over these few days, Ren Zhong had about 20.4 billion in liquid capital at hand.

He "conservatively" retained 4.4 billion in funds, then took out 16 billion, leveraging it five times to obtain a total capital of 80 billion.

His program was set to activate at noon tomorrow, plunging into the market with the 80 billion total funds to start comprehensive short-selling.

Of course, to prevent any information leaks, Ren Zhong had this program stored on an offline computer and would import it at the scheduled time tomorrow.

The main sector he targeted for short-selling was the food consumption sector led by Tianlong High-tech.

Tianlong High-tech’s overall decline was 5%, not much.

But the First Level, Second Level, and Third Level subsidiaries under Tianlong High-tech had an average market value evaporation rate of up to 50% within the next seven to eight days, plummeting to the point where countless people’s parents wouldn’t recognize them, leaving hearts dead and despairing.

Ren Zhong split the 80 billion again into nearly two hundred parts, almost entirely buying up all the main stocks of the large and medium food consumption sector.

Currently, the market sentiment was cautiously optimistic.

For example, a stock deity surnamed Huang expressed on personal social media, "After the continuous turbulence of the previous period, many sectors are at a low point, making it a good time to enter and build positions. Trust my professional judgment! Brothers, I’m going all in!"

Mr. Huang was very cautious but overly optimistic.

Ren Zhong wished him good health and all the best.

After setting up the automatic trading program, he also took some time to contact Ju Qingmeng.
