Resurrection Empire

Chapter 683 257: Confession

The kind of person you are determines the kind of things you do.

Ren Zhong is not someone who indulges in romance and dreamscapes.

He has always been clear in his goals and takes swift, decisive action.

The main reason he once avoided relationships was to keep his inner world pure and resist assimilation and corruption from Source Star Society.

But most importantly, he never even considered these things since he was young.

Although he knows that eventually one needs to find a partner for life, it's human instinct.

He also understands sexuality.

It's just that his self-control is too strong, and he was never in a rush.

His father taught him from a young age to always "look forward" in life and work, and he followed this advice naturally, always focusing on the distant future, rarely paying attention to the scenery around him.

So, Ren Zhong always had the habit of making a plan in advance and then following it step by step.

Thus, during his studies, when faced with various temptations, he always thought, no hurry, stay focused, do the more important things well, ensuring no regrets in his academics.

After graduation, stabilize his job, get a house, then go home for matchmaking and marriage.

Or just wait for fate.

Either way works.

The ultimate goal is to build a worry-free family like his parents'.

That is life's support, fulfilling his father's expectation of carrying on the family line, and finding comfort in times of exhaustion.

Then, like his parents raising him, watch his own children grow up day by day.

If the children are smart, guide them down his path.

If they are ordinary, it doesn't matter; he can ensure their financial stability. Being ordinary also has its own happiness.

This is Ren Zhong's idea of a perfect life.

Unfortunately, all these plans came to an abrupt halt the moment he was diagnosed.

Now, waking from a long sleep, he made many changes and added many disguises to himself, but the fundamental underlying logic of his thinking hadn't fundamentally changed.

He is still the persistent and focused youth he once was, with a bit of obstinacy and arrogance.

Otherwise, he wouldn't persistently attempt to change the world.

He altered his life pursuits, setting in his heart a grand ambition to learn from the martyrs, embarking on a new relentless journey amidst the hustle and bustle.

Now facing different circumstances, with different objective conditions, and pursuing different ultimate goals, with difficulties climbing geometrically, he brought forth stronger willpower and higher focus.

But he still longs for the simple yet real feelings of his parents, and he still often overlooks these, thinking this was enough.

In fact, he always harbored longing in his heart, but felt disappointed in the fundamental romantic perceptions formed by Source Star Society whenever he interacted with a woman.

He has always been waiting for that heart-pounding yet mutually supportive relationship, just like when his father met his mother.

Until this time, he encountered a crushing defeat.

Complete failure forced him to look back at the past, conduct a full review and thorough reflection.

In reflection, he finally realized that he hadn't done nearly enough and was too greedy.

Facing the situation where he must resolve the third loophole, he finally slowed down from blindly charging forward, taking the time to look at the people around him.

Suddenly looking back, that person was there amidst the lights.

This isn't a bad thing.

The sooner problems emerge, the sooner he has a chance to remedy them.

...

This morning, a new batch of weapons will be transported across regions from Chromium Carbon Town.

Over here in Liao Yuan County, the supply quotas for Starfire Town have already reached their limit.

These are products Ren Zhong "smuggled" using his connections in Chromium Carbon Town and Zhan Sha County.

Therefore, in the morning, Ju Qingmeng will be working at the Military Weapon Store, responsible for receiving and inventorying this batch of goods, as well as conducting some business training for the employees.

Due to the differences in Ruined Beast types being dealt with, the performance focus of weapons supplied to different regions varies slightly.

The differences between Zhan Sha County and Liao Yuan County are quite significant, so Ju Qingmeng needs to understand these first, then carefully explain them to the employees, and make sure to clarify the details when selling to customers.

Similar work isn't done by managers in stores in other regions.

Anyway, their concern is just selling; if the products malfunction and someone dies, it's unlucky for the buyer and unrelated to the seller.

What? Different origins? Performance differences? An accident happened?

Buy if you want, otherwise, leave.

It's that simple.

However, Ju Qingmeng always believed that the stability of military weapons is a matter of life and death, so she willingly took on this troublesome work.
