Resurrection Empire

Chapter 724 272 He Just Happened to Block My Way_2

It's unclear whether it's a coincidence or if it's that smart, but it just so happens to be slightly ahead of the line where the county government dispatched experts are.

The Nangao Town Government and Resource Company were in a difficult position, and after much thought, came up with the idea of this public tender.

They offered two major incentives: a "high" service fee of five million, and special permission allowing Hunters to take their corpses and Crystal Chips for sale in other regions.

The procurement price of Ruined Beast Crystal Chips has always been notoriously low, and the hunting harvest of a Level Six Ruined Beast usually only sells for hundreds of thousands.

If those lacking strength attempt to handle a Level Six Ruined Beast, they won't earn much money.

But money is not the most important aspect; according to the peculiar rules on Source Star, if a Resource Company in any town can procure a Level Six Ruined Beast, they will earn a large number of corporate points, and the town where the company is located will also receive numerous Pu Cha points.

Previously, when Ren Zhong's employees went out to work, the hunting results were always sold in the place of the hunt.

Even if some regions had exorbitantly high commissions, this basic rule had to be followed.

The extraction rights for Ruined Beast resources are restricted to procurement within the designated areas.

Cross-regional sales are illegal and constitute smuggling.

But there's a limit to smuggling; exceeding it can easily lead to problems.

Corporate warfare is fought over this protected area procurement right.

Once war begins, the Hunters within Yangsheng City can move freely and sell across regions.

At that point, Nangao Town didn't know about the existence of corporate warfare.

The people here were, of course, reluctant to give up these points, but there was nothing else to do, so they laid their cards on the table with these favorable conditions, essentially summoning Starfire Resources to aid them.

They believed that since Ren Zhong cared so much about Starfire Town, he would surely seize this legitimate opportunity to earn points.

Ren Zhong, even if it cost money, would personally go to find experts from other places.

They achieved their goal and indeed attracted Ren Zhong, but it was Ren Zhong himself who came.

...

This time, Ren Zhong did not keep a low profile. Wearing the Red Blade Armor, he activated Consciousness Upload and fought fiercely with a mid-Level Six Faceless Man, whose converted power was approximately 150,000 kilowatts, in the training field in Chongyi County for a full three hours.

In the end, he narrowly won, stirring up a wave of exclamations in the training field.

Soon after, within less than ten minutes, Ren Zhong's first-person perspective combat video was uploaded to the internet.

As the newly emergent leader on Source Star, he had long left Sid Meier's achievements far behind.

His personal account had been marked as "Master" in the Daily News video section.

Whenever he uploaded a video, various recommended resources would be instantly filled.

Not long after, paid viewers surged, and hordes of fans were ecstatic.

In Chongyi County, after intense training, Ren Zhong received restorative treatment in the VIP area medical room and then walked into the training hall, refreshed.

In the spacious and bright hall, someone first noticed him and quickly closed the free perspective video in front of them, clicked paid access, and then waved at Ren Zhong with the holographic projection showing the successful payment page, "Boss Ren! Your video is amazing!"

Ren Zhong turned his gaze, smiled slightly, "You're too kind. Weren't you just watching there while I was training? Why buy it again?"

The person chuckled ingratiatingly, "Watching on-site and experiencing your first-person perspective don't conflict, Boss Ren. I also have a desire to become stronger."

Ren Zhong's smile broadened, "Good. I remember you. If you're interested, you can come to Starfire Town in some time, and I can arrange a good position for you."

"Thank you, Boss Ren!"

Then, Ren Zhong casually waved to others who greeted him before heading over to the briskly approaching Ju Qingmeng and Hanyu.

As planned in advance, he pulled the two close in his arms on either side.

The two tall women, each with their strengths, also leaned in, nestling closely against him.

Subsequently, the trio walked towards the rented luxury hovercar parked outside the training grounds.

Seated in the driver's seat was Chen Meng, while Ou Youning deftly jumped off, placing a stepping stool in front of the three.

The three elegantly stepped onto the stool and boarded the car one after another.

The hovercar roared away.

In the training grounds, someone curiously remarked, "Among those two women just now, the one in red seemed to be Ju Qingmeng, the vocational school celebrity who had a scandal with Wang Jinsou a few years ago?"

"You just realized? When Boss Ren came earlier, he was holding the two at the same time."

"Something seems off; I remember Ju Qingmeng as being quite proud. How did she end up marrying someone wealthy?"

"Heh, you don't understand. Wang Jinsou just has money, nothing else. But Boss Ren is different, having risen from nothing, extremely talented. Who could resist him?"

"Tch, touche. Just wonder what Wang Jinsou will think when this news reaches him. If I remember correctly, Wang Jinsou is quite domineering. Any woman he fancies, whether or not he has made advances, no one else can touch, or they'll be in trouble."

"Who knows. Boss Ren isn't easily trifled with. Anyway, it's just a case of rich folks bickering."

"But I reckon Wang Jinsou doesn't dare to do anything now, with Ren Zhong being so hot right now."

"Indeed. He's crazy but knows not to offend those he shouldn't."

After boarding the car, Ren Zhong released the two ladies from his arms and thanked Hanyu first.

Hanyu, not blushing, responded openly, "No need to thank. I actually think it would have been better for me to show my true self."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "It's just about right now. This level is just perfect."

He intended only to provoke Wang Jinsou.

Moreover, the "Net" understood his scheme, knowing he wasn't interested in Hanyu, and this was a trap he set for Wang Jinsou.

But he was also reshaping his persona in the "Net."

He was redefining himself as an ambitious new capitalist, one who, upon having a woman, wouldn't easily be swayed by others, nor waste time on desires, only obsessively pursuing power and strength.

The "Net" wouldn't bother warning a mere second-generation rich kid.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Ou Youning curiously asked, "Brother Ren, are you doing this to avenge Manager Ju?"

Ju Qingmeng, hearing this, also looked at him curiously.

Ren Zhong first nodded, then shook his head, "Revenge is not the goal, just part of the process. The real reason is that he rubs me the wrong way, and his family just happens to own a military-industrial enterprise. So, he's blocking my path. He's destined to become my stepping stone."
