Ren Zhong nodded, "Understood, thank you for clarifying."
Actually, he thought to himself, as expected, people in this world never truly understand things they are unfamiliar with.
Everyone only needs to know that the Ruined Beasts in the abandoned mining pits are both strong and valuable, and that it has something to do with the residual metal elements.
But further steps, like how these residual metal elements cause this phenomenon, nobody cares to know.
Five minutes later, Zheng Tian couldn’t even remember how she was pulled away by Ren Zhong.
Not until the Thunderbolt Car drove out of the courtyard, in a daze, did Zheng Tian nearly crash into the wall while driving.
She suddenly slammed the brakes, coming back to her senses, "Ren, we’re rich!"
Ren Zhong smiled and nodded, "Not bad."
"Earned 7854 points in one day! Is this even possible? I never dreamed of this in my life!"
The smile on Ren Zhong’s face grew wider.
He was happy not just for the money but because he deprived Lin Wang of at least 872 points in commission.
Weakening the enemy is strengthening oneself.
Even if he might have to return it in half a month, what if he spent it all in advance?
Can’t I just write an IOU?
Being in debt makes you the master, isn’t that another layer of protection?
"Wait, something’s not right. Even if the pangolin and the bug are valuable, it seems too high."
Ren Zhong patted Zheng Tian’s shoulder, "Realized it, huh?"
"Yeah, our tax has decreased, by ten percent."
Ren Zhong selectively shared his conversation with Yang Bingzhong with her.
"In short, I have signed a contract with Starfire Resources for a team of Second Level Professionals. We will no longer rely on Lin Wang’s account, and can directly trade with the company, only incurring a 10% tax."
In ecstatic joy, Zheng Tian let go of the steering wheel, sprang from her seat, pounced on Ren Zhong, hugging him tightly while babbling incoherently, her body shaking as if she had epilepsy.
Ren Zhong struggled for a while before pressing her back into the driver’s seat.
"Calm down! Calm down! This is just the beginning! Lin Wang and the others will be back in half a month. The good days aren’t truly here yet."
While admonishing Zheng Tian, he touched his own face.
Hell, Zheng Tian looks petite, but apparently not small, she even rubbed my nose sore.
With cheeks slightly flushed, Zheng Tian forced herself to calm down, "Mmm, I know."
"Good to know. The distribution system is , I take 70%, you all share 30%, no objections, right?"
"No objections, it’s already a lot, too much!"
"From now on, your task is to spare no effort, find every way possible to enhance quickly. I now possess the combat power of a Third Level Mechanical Warrior. I will continue to upgrade. My expectation of you is that you reach at least the mid-stage Second Level Professionals within half a month, then we’ll contact Manager Ju to purchase some beyond-standard equipment, allowing you all to rival Third Level Professionals. As long as there’s money, these things aren’t fantasies. We aim to be able to directly kill Fourth Level Professionals!"
Hearing this, Zheng Tian finally calmed down.
She hesitated a bit, "Since Mr. Yang said he would mediate, um, Lin Wang might not necessarily take action against us again?"
Ren Zhong shook his head, "Always prepare for the worst, don’t put your life entirely in someone else’s mercy and hesitations."
"Zip up your combat suit, otherwise, Ou Youning will think there’s something unspeakable between us again."
Zheng Tian exclaimed, quickly zipped up her combat suit that had somehow slipped down to her neck, and carefully smoothed the wrinkles on her chest.
She also pressed down hard, afraid the little creases might give something away.
"Alright, let’s go. That’s enough."
The car had been traveling for a while, and Zheng Tian furtively muttered, "Ren, actually having something between us wouldn’t be bad."
She didn’t wait for Ren Zhong to respond, the silence was as eerie as entering a ghost town.
Zheng Tian glanced at Ren Zhong and found he had his elbow resting on the passenger window, fingers supporting his chin, brows furrowed, as if deeply pondering something.
He didn’t hear a thing.
Disheartened, Zheng Tian sighed inwardly, forget it, take it slow.
Ren Zhong was indeed lost in thought.
Now he had completely lost the guidance of the Power of Time Spiral.
Every second he lived longer, every step forward, was a brand new unknown world.
But after losing foresight, he wasn’t confused or panicked; instead, he regained the state he had while researching, always intensely burning his brain, using meticulous analysis, sharp thinking, perfect organization, and keen observation.
He would not overlook any key element.
He was pondering why the Crystalized Pangolin and Dream Weaving Maze Stink Bug were different.
When facing an "unexpected mystery," science doesn’t allow muddling through.
He certainly didn’t accept the vague forced explanation from the female staff.
Why did a Level Four Ruined Beast appear on the upper level?
And precisely at those two spots?
Breeding offspring can be a reason for the pangolin to reach the upper level, but it doesn’t explain why the pangolin chose that pit.
How do the metal elements in the abandoned mining pit cause the special Ruined Beasts to be stronger and more valuable than ordinary Ruined Beasts?
Each of these questions puzzled him, just like the project challenges he faced before writing and publishing a paper in "Science."
He understood very well, once he breaks through this barrier, a whole new world awaits him.
Many advancements in human theoretical science have come from a flash of doubt or an unexpected experimental result.
