Resurrection Empire

Chapter 697 262: Refusing Aid, Extraordinarily Gifted_2

Sun Miao shook his head, "You're being too idealistic."

"Xiao Sun, I hope you have some self-awareness."

"What do you mean?"

"You've already called me your dad once. Besides, I admit you're an impressive talent in Mengdu Group, but standing in front of you is the super genius certified by both Purple Crystal Mining and Source Star Education, unprecedented and unparalleled. You must trust the inspiration of a genius."

Sun Miao: "Damn it..."

Academically crushed, Sun Miao was indeed hurt.

But he truly had no way to refute it.

Sun Miao sighed, "Let's just do as you say for now then."

As they were chatting, a bell sounded above.

It was Wen Lei bringing over equipment.

Under Ren Zhong's instructions, Wen Lei bought many parts through the procurement channel from the Armored Laboratory and assembled a high-temperature furnace himself.

The three of them teamed up to install the furnace, Ren Zhong and Sun Miao exchanged a glance, their eyes drifting over the high-temperature furnace nearby, understanding without words.

Since the flaw was known, neither the comprador faction nor the Promotion Association could expect to get any reliable information from this furnace anymore.

Of course, Sun Miao was not foolish, he wouldn't completely stop this furnace, he'd just occasionally throw in some seemingly odd items to confuse them, pretending to push the project forward diligently, though it was actually useless.

After leaving Sun Miao's place, Ren Zhong returned to his own company and started putting on the Red Blade Armor piece by piece. Once dressed, Starfire Town's Source Star TV reporter Xiao Xingyue arrived.

"President Ren, now that you've officially joined us, we can't just do nothing. Since you value Starfire Town, we can deploy a batch of Level Five Professionals to assist you. Though this doesn't quite follow the rules..."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "Thanks for your kindness. But no need, I can handle it myself."

"Huh?"

Ren Zhong added, "Mengdu Group's experiment can't fail in that way, or their Legion Beast project won't look like a sideshow. I must defeat them head-on in Starfire Town using my method, understand?"

Xiao Xingyue: "But how do you plan to defeat the Legion Beast head-on? As far as I know, it's Level Six. That's not realistic."

Ren Zhong patted the Red Blade Armor he had just donned, "You don't understand my combat talents well enough yet. You'll see then."

"Is that...so? Alright then."

Xiao Xingyue nodded helplessly.

After seeing off Xiao Xingyue, who failed to sell favors, Ren Zhong smirked slightly at the corner of his mouth.

What a joke, if your Level Five Professionals come, how could I secretly keep the Legion Beast's Crystal Core?

Besides, if I really invite strong external aid, I can't offer the appropriate intensity of blood and fire trials for the townspeople, nor can I leave Mengdu Group with an excuse or handle to strike hard in the stock market.

Then, he strode out of the room and onto the square below the company.

At this moment, all the main members of Starfire Resources were present, including Yujin, Zheng Tian, Chen Hanyu, Wen Lei, Ou Youning, Bai Feng, Shi Xuan, Jiang Kai, Chen Meng, and others.

Additionally, there were the 500-member Hunting Team and the 200-member elite Demon Infant Metal group.

Above in the sky, Ren Zhong's recently purchased private fast airship and a large rented airship capable of carrying 2000 people were docked.

He stood on a high platform, overlooking below, and said slowly, "Five days until Mengdu Group's experiment! I know your improvements have been great lately, but we can do better. From today, I will fight alongside you, improving together."

"This morning, I took on fifteen major orders externally. The first one among them is from Dust Town in Zhan Sha County. The target is the Level Six Ruined Beast, Moving Mountain Python! I will show you that even a Level Six Ruined Beast is nothing to fear! We'll fight our way through! Set off!"

This time, he no longer needed to soak in continent-level labs, Ren Zhong decided to set foot again on the path of personal martial prowess as a warrior.

Purple Crystal Mining might have some opinion there.

But that didn't matter, a naturally gifted person always had to take some unconventional paths.

A science geek who doesn't like fighting is not a good tycoon.

He wanted both money and academics, and he wouldn't relax his combat prowess.

He would use these three days to fully showcase his elite warrior talents, to get more attention from the Military Department.

Meanwhile, this high-intensity combat could slightly enhance the drug efficacy of the Mother-child Medicine.

In the previous timeline, after dealing with the Cold-blooded Butcher, his practical combat occurrences plummeted, only fighting when necessary.

On one hand, he was overly distracted by other matters.

On the other hand, he was deliberately hiding the Alien Ore, fearing that if he showed his hand too often and at a high frequency, people would notice the anomaly of his Red Blade Armor.

Later, after becoming a Fifth Level Citizen, and talking things out with Xiao Xingyue, the hidden troubles of the Alien Ore were resolved, and he did wield power openly.

However, he had shifted the majority of his focus to assisting Sun Miao in advancing the Demon Infant project and to the development and management of Starfire Town, feeling he couldn't find a reason to engage in combat anymore.

But after experiencing a crushing defeat, being powerless against a real Association military force, Ren Zhong put away his newly sprouting complacency.

He decided to do something that the "madman" persona could do, to allow the Red Blade Armor and himself to grow faster in the trial by fire of battle.

...

On the early morning of the 117th day, Ren Zhong was fast asleep with the help of wrist watch hypnosis, in a top hotel suite of a certain small town in the central region.

In the hibernation space, however, was a scene of fires and smoke everywhere.

The vice chairman humorously nicknamed "Recruitment Bro" was also participating in the national war finals of the Western Liang Horse Gang.

As long as this evenly matched national war is won, Ma Xiaoling's guild will eventually become the monthly champion as desired.
