Resurrection Empire

"Mr. Ren, you are indeed an outstanding businessman."

"Of course."

"In fact, I once tried to explore your motivation for insisting on opposing the Mengdu Group."

"Do you have an answer now? Do you need me to tell you?"

"No need, my answer is this: Even though the opponent is the Mengdu Group, just like when you faced the Cold-blooded Butcher before, you have absolute confidence."

"Yes. No thrills, no fears. Why shouldn’t I?"

"How did you crack the Seam Ability of the Legion Beast? Can you share it?"

"Reporter Xiao, do you remember my failed decapitation mission the morning before yesterday?"

"I remember."

Ren Zhong gave a light cough, "Although my operation failed at that time, I discovered that there was no human beside the Legion Beast. So, the Mengdu Group must be remotely controlling it. In fact, I was the one who provided the intelligence on this Legion Beast to the Association. This wasn’t my first encounter with it."

"I know it’s controlled by other Ruined Beasts using information flow. Therefore, the control medium of the Mengdu Group must also be information flow. Then..."

"In short, I easily deciphered the remote control codes of the Mengdu Group. Then, for the past three days, I’ve been using vulnerabilities to transmit Trojan programs to the brain of the Legion Beast. I intensified the interference when it activated its Seam Ability and attempted to create subunits, and I took over its subunits. The rest naturally followed."

"In my opinion, the Mengdu Group’s experiment is a total failure. The Legion Beast has a high risk of being reverse-penetrated and controlled. Additionally, Guard Captain Ma Xiaoling has encountered traps multiple times and nearly perished. This indicates that the three fundamental principles of the Ruined Beasts promised by Mengdu Group have completely failed. Imagine if on a larger battlefield, more advanced Legion Beasts behaved like this and launched a surprise attack on friendly forces, what would happen?"

Xiao Xingyue nodded, "Indeed. Thank you, Mr. Ren, for cooperating with the interview. Let’s meet another day. The documentary will be online in five days, and by then, the dividends for you and the Starfire Town wastelanders will automatically be credited."

"Great. Thank you."

After seeing off Xiao Xingyue, Ren Zhong lay back on the sofa and opened the comprehensive battle report provided by Ma Dafu on the other side.

Casualties: 1,781 people dead.

Seriously injured: 6,471 people.

Lightly injured: 27,741 people.

Asset loss evaluation of Starfire Town: Buildings, city walls, automated weapons, infrastructure... totaling 270 million yuan.

Expenditure on war supplies: totaling 110 million yuan.

Medical supplies expenditure: totaling 120 million yuan.

War is all about money.

Ren Zhong has spent a lot of money in these days.

But he will make the Mengdu Group pay 1.5 times the compensation.

Ren Zhong wasn’t in a hurry to submit the asset loss report.

He connected with Ma Dafu, "Old Ma, my deputy Wang Zhaofu is coming over soon. I have some disagreements with this asset evaluation."

Ma Dafu: "What do you mean?"

"It could easily be doubled, right?"

"Come on, the Alson Bank has a mature evaluation system."

Ren Zhong: "The appraisers are from Liao Yuan County, right? I still owe the Liao Yuan County branch nearly four billion."

Ma Dafu: "Emmm..."

After a moment of thought, Ma Dafu added, "But the Mengdu Group will file a complaint."

"They won’t."

"Why not?"

"Unless they don’t want the Legion Beast anymore."

Ma Dafu: "I think this move is too ruthless."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "No, in the world of capital, there are no absolute enemies; only interests are eternal."

After hanging up the communication with Ma Dafu, Ren Zhong taught Brother Wang some tricks for playing around in asset evaluation, then headed straight for the Armored Laboratory.

Yes, the Legion Beast was not actually at the Starfire Resources Company headquarters but at the Armored Laboratory.

The hacker and the Information Flow Shield Master, who had long completed their tasks, were pacing anxiously in the basement.

It wasn’t until the war ended that the two, who had been locked underground the entire time, finally understood what a big deal they had been involved in.

This was unbelievable.

They wanted to escape, but they couldn’t.

Outside the basement door, Shi Xuan, Shi Lin, and Zheng Tian’s team were guarding the place so tightly that not even a fly could escape.

The two were also explicitly warned by the presumed Level Six Mechanical Warrior, Ren Zhong.

As soon as Ren Zhong entered, the hacker immediately approached, "Mr. Ren, we’ve finished our work. Please let us leave. We’re not wearing wrist watches, so the information is still kept secret. We’re really afraid the Mengdu Group will find out..."

Ren Zhong chuckled, "I’ve already paid you. But it seems like you haven’t worked for a full month yet?"

"Just a day’s difference! You, such a big boss, don’t concern yourself with such trivial details, do you?"

Ren Zhong shook his head, "No, I do. Your work is not yet complete."

Information Flow Shield Master: "What work?"

"Help me copy all the data from the Legion Beast’s Crystal Core. I will additionally pay each of you one billion as a reward."

The two tools gasped in shock, "What!"

Information Flow Shield Master shook his head, "This is Mengdu Group’s secret! It’s impossible!"

The hacker also said, "That’s unrealistic. The Crystal Core is a three-dimensional super-large crystal chip aggregate with immense computing power and even larger data storage capacity. There is no storage medium in Starfire Town that can hold this amount of information, Mr. Ren, even if you pay us more."

Ren Zhong smiled, "I don’t care whether you can’t do it, or you don’t want to. But as long as my goal is not achieved, I will hold an award ceremony for you both in town, and then publicly transfer two billion to each of you."

The air in the basement froze at this moment.

It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The two cowered decisively.

Ren Zhong asked again, "Let me ask again, is there a suitable storage medium in Starfire Town?"

The hacker mumbled, "I can use a thousand Second Level Crystal Chips to create a data storage matrix. There are a thousand Second Level Crystal Chips in town, right?"

Ren Zhong: "Ah, that’s more like it. Yes, there are more than enough."

Actually, he briefly considered using the Demon Infant Crystal Core just now, but he quickly dismissed that thought.

The information in the Demon Infant Crystal Core relates to the "soul" of the Demon Infant, Ren Zhong couldn’t take that risk.

As for why he wanted the data from the Legion Beast?

The reason is simple: he won’t miss any opportunity to spy on unfamiliar information.

Even if it seems pointless in the short term, being prepared is always better.
