"Well, Mr. Ren, maybe I should explore on my own tomorrow. This is just too..."
It was Yujin’s first time participating in the morning hunt, and witnessing Ren Zhong’s god-like feat of using First Level equipment to defeat a Third Level Ruined Beast left him indescribably shaken.
He deeply felt the gap between himself and Ren Zhong was unfathomably large, giving rise to a feeling that he was holding back, wanting to give up.
"Yujin, there’s no need to feel inferior. You performed very well today. The timing you chose to draw out the White Stone Ape with that shot was excellent. If it were just me, I wouldn’t know how to lure out only one, and I’d probably have to give up. Today we would have only been able to hunt one Third Level Ruined Beast. I was a bit puzzled about your talent before, but now I think it has something to do with you doing needlework from a young age."
Ren Zhong praised Yujin, who was sitting in the back.
Hearing this, Yujin felt a bit of his confidence boosted, "Hmm, I’ll work even harder from now on."
"Alright, today’s two Third Level Ruined Beasts will bring back approximately 240 points. Chen Hanyu gets 10%, and Yujin, you get 5%."
Yujin was shocked, "How can I accept this! Didn’t we agree on 2% last night?"
"If I say it’s fine, then it’s fine. I’ll give you a bit more money so you can get to the training grounds earlier for formal training and boost your parameters. And you should get a better gun. Hmm, go for the heavy sniper in the future."
Yujin wanted to refuse further, but Ren Zhong just waved his hand, indicating there was no need for more words.
After returning to the town, Ren Zhong didn’t rush to Starfire Resources to sell goods but rested idly for a while before heading to the Military Weapon Store at the perfect time.
At 7:05 AM, the seemingly absent-minded Ren Zhong squeezed into the doorway of the Military Weapon Store shoulder to shoulder with a chubby man.
The chubby man’s fat had an astonishing elasticity.
After the collision, both of them bounced off to the sides, hitting the doorframe simultaneously and surprisingly.
"Ouch, damn, how do you walk! You’re not even... huh, it’s you? A regular customer! What a coincidence, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. My bad, my bad."
The anger on Wang Zhaofu’s face vanished instantly, replaced by a seasoned, familiar smile.
Ren Zhong also acted surprised, "Oh, isn’t this Boss Wang? What a coincidence, what brings Boss Wang here today?"
Wang Zhaofu chuckled, "Just passing by Starfire Town today, so I thought I’d stop by the mall to see if there’s any good deals."
Ju Qingmeng, who was stretching and walking out from the manager’s office, saw the scene and approached with surprise, "Oh, Ren Zhong, you know Boss Wang?"
Ren Zhong chuckled, "Yeah, I recently bought something from Boss Wang."
Wang Zhaofu’s sharp eyes sparkled.
As an experienced merchant, he had an extremely keen sense.
He noticed that Ju Qingmeng was obviously closer to Ren Zhong when speaking, and although she was talking to both of them, her beautiful eyes seemed glued to Ren Zhong alone.
These two have something going on!
At least half a thing!
This was good; suddenly, Ren Zhong’s status in his mind shifted from a terrifying bargainer to a close acquaintance of Ju Qingmeng, the manager of the Military Weapon Store.
Old Wang, as a traveling merchant dealing in both black and white market goods, knew that getting in good with regional Military Weapon Store managers was a necessity.
He had always been troubled by Ju Qingmeng, this city-born female manager, who seemed always to be looking down on others with contempt, as if everyone owed her money, making it hard to break through.
Now the opportunity had arrived.
As such, Wang Zhaofu changed his approach, "Ren and I are more than just acquaintances; we hit it off back then. On the way here, I was wondering if I might run into Brother Ren again—what a coincidence!"
Ren Zhong laughed heartily, "I was thinking the same. Manager Ju, go ahead with your work; no need to mind us, I’ll just chat with Boss Wang."
Thus, these bosom buddies from another time and place, with their own concealed intentions, walked out shoulder to shoulder.
After walking a few steps, Wang Zhaofu suggested, "Since the timing is right, why don’t we have a couple of drinks at the Eternal Slumber? Have some fun?"
Ren Zhong replied with a smile, "I have to go hunting later today, so no fun needed. But a couple of glasses of fruit wine would be nice."
"Alright, let’s go, let’s go!"
"What about your business, Boss Wang?"
"No worries, I can come back later."
"No, that’s not good. Time is money, my friend." Ren Zhong shook his head and turned back to the door of the store to say to Ju Qingmeng, "Manager Ju, could you do me a favor and send over a list of all the second-hand items on consignment in the store?"
