Resurrection Empire

Chapter 634 - 239: Revealing the Truth, Nationwide Mobilization, Rising Starfire

Early the next morning, after Ren Zhong finished freshening up and having a nutritious breakfast, he was about to leave the dormitory to start a new day of flaunting—oh no, work in the lab—when Yu Junren arrived uninvited.

As the head of the Chenhui Mine and a rising star among the younger generation at Purple Crystal Mining, a new and sharp-minded executive, Yu Junren was quite informal with Ren Zhong. He casually sat on the sofa after entering, turned on the projection TV, and clicked on the daily headline news channel, then selected a video of the major news.

The voice of a charming female host began.

"Today, the special law No. 157 for the year 682 applied for by Mengdu Group has been passed. Mengdu Group is about to start a large-scale scientific experiment within the territory of Starfire Town, Liao Yuan County, Yangsheng City, on the First Continent. The project aims to explore the technological application prospects of indirectly controlling groups of Ruined Beasts using a special type of high-rank Ruined Beast. Influenced by this favorable news, Mengdu Group’s stock price rose by 1.1%. The bio-pharmaceutical sector initiated a siphon effect, leading to a contrarian increase in the sector index. A significant amount of funds is rapidly fleeing the violently fluctuating agriculture and food consumption sector, exacerbating the decline in the agriculture sector led by Tianlong High-tech..."

Ren Zhong: Sense the elements, short and get rich.

Yu Junren said heavily, "Get ready mentally."

Ren Zhong: "It’s no big deal, everything is ready, just missing..."

"Missing what?"

"Nothing. Anyways, this time I must make Mengdu Group suffer a major setback at my hands."

"Hmm. I hope this doesn’t affect your work here. The project you’re involved in is also very important. If the project is successful, as a core member of the project team, you can earn a lot of credit points, and your citizen level might directly leap to the fifth level."

Ren Zhong smiled slightly, "Yes, I know. I won’t get distracted, I don’t need to return to the town."

"Hmm? I heard that most citizens in Starfire Town are gradually leaving. In that case, the news will probably soon spread among the wildling class. If you need more people to help maintain order, I can temporarily allocate some guards to you."

Ren Zhong confidently shook his head, "Thank you for the kind offer. But I have faith in the wildlings of Starfire Town."

"That’s good, contact me if anything comes up."

"Alright."

Yu Junren left.

On the way to work at the laboratory, Ren Zhong briefly communicated with Ma Dafu.

Both decided, rather than waiting for rumors to spread, it would be better to proactively announce the news.

Ma Dafu would publicize the following messages through the town’s broadcast in half an hour.

1. Starfire Town has indeed been designated as an experimental zone by Mengdu Group.

2. The project invested by Ren Zhong will not stop, and infrastructure projects within Starfire Town will continue to advance.

3. Due to Ren Zhong’s foresight, a large stockpile of medical resources, munitions, and other related materials has already been accumulated in the town. Even if a Beast Tide cuts off the logistics and transport network, Starfire Town can still hold out for more than half a year.

4. Tanggu Group has also started an experiment in Starfire Town, with objectives directly opposing Mengdu Group’s. Tanggu Group’s test aims to deduce the effectiveness of Ren Zhong’s new management model in motivating the wildlings, with assessment criteria being the overall performance of wildlings during the Beast Tide.

5. A large amount of material support from Tanggu Group will arrive by this evening, and tomorrow, genuine top-level hunting experts will come to Starfire Town to provide guidance.

Once these five announcements were made, the slightly restless minds among the wildlings in the town quickly settled.

In the evening, Ren Zhong received a report from Ma Dafu, and he was somewhat surprised by how well things were going.

Ma Dafu said, "It’s unbelievable. I just received a notice from the Association. Considering the current special situation of Starfire Town, the Association has coordinated consultations with all relevant enterprises and granted us a special permit. If Starfire Town successfully withstands the Beast Tide, assists Mengdu Group in testing the limits of Ruined Beast control, and completes Tanggu Group’s new management model experiment, survivors will directly receive permanent residence permits for Starfire Town, no longer occupying temporary wildling status. Furthermore, the Association granted me a hundred citizen slots to reward wildlings who perform outstandingly in these dual experiments! I immediately announced this news! Hahaha!"

After listening, Ren Zhong’s eyebrows jumped wildly, and his face also showed a look of surprise.

He indeed felt a bit unexpected, but it also seemed logical.

He finally awaited the greatest variable.

In the previous timeline, such a good thing did not happen.

This time, it came.

Every variable has its cause and effect.
