But what he was up against was the era, the entire system of Source Star, and he believed there was no chance of winning with personal power alone.
During the short New Origin Calendar, Ren Zhong had not seen a single rebel.
There were two possibilities.
All those who gained personal power were either assimilated, or they were quietly suppressed.
Therefore, he must mobilize the masses and arm them.
Everyone, including Zheng Tian, was his potential original team.
These people must show the courage and growth potential to match his cause.
Otherwise, even if they followed him, they were doomed to die sooner or later, be it actively or passively.
If that were the case, they might as well take the startup capital he provided and live a relatively kind life as a professional team in Starfire Town, leading a stable life.
"Thanks for your hard work. I actually just intended to come over and get through the night, but I didn’t expect you to have a complete modification blueprint here. This will make it convenient for me tonight. I can scan it into the Virtual Reality System and start adapting to the new equipment ahead of time."
Ju Qingmeng raised her head proudly, "Lin Wang upgraded to the Fourth Level two years ago. For the entire year before that, he was my VIP client. All his equipment at that time was provided by me. Without me, Lin Wang’s improvement wouldn’t have been so fast, and he wouldn’t have reached his current status in the town. Uh..."
Here, Ren Zhong quickly grasped the key points in what Ju Qingmeng said.
In the last final battle, the highest power Lin Wang activated with severe injuries and damaged equipment was 4000 kilowatts.
It can be inferred that Lin Wang’s carrying power in peak condition should be around 6000 kilowatts or more.
Two years total 730 days, from the Third Level peak of 1000 kilowatts to 6000 kilowatts, Lin Wang’s total improvement was 5000 kilowatts.
This seems terrifying, but it actually averages only 6.85 kilowatts per day.
I am only at the Second Level now, and my average daily improvement already reaches about 5.5 kilowatts.
My talent indeed is formidable!
Ju Qingmeng, who was chatting enthusiastically, noticed Ren Zhong’s silence and quickly looked over to see him frowning.
She hurriedly nudged Ren Zhong and said nervously, "What are you thinking about? I helped Lin Wang back then simply because it was business. He offered a price much higher than an ordinary scavenger. Quite a lot of equipment and stock materials in my private lab were provided by him, and now all of it is invested in you, right? Also, because I once took care of his equipment, I can provide you with better intelligence."
She seemed to have misunderstood the direction completely.
He smiled and said, "No, I was just calculating his improvement efficiency. He increased by only 6.85 kilowatts per day at the Fourth Level, but my current daily carrying power increase is 5.5 kilowatts."
He thought Ju Qingmeng would be slightly amazed and thus gloss over the previous little misunderstanding.
Surprisingly, she just shrugged, "Isn’t that expected? You reached a Brain-Machine Synchronization Rate of 29.99% just as you hit the Second Level. His talent isn’t even fit to shine your shoes. Not only in Starfire Town, but even looking across Chongyi County, I’ve never seen someone like you. Otherwise, how would I dare to rely on you?"
"Hmm. Well then... it’s getting late. Why don’t you go to bed early? I’ve often kept you from sleeping well these days, you should rest properly."
"Wait, let me scan the blueprint into your wrist watch first."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Early the next morning, Ren Zhong rode Ju Qingmeng’s Beetle Hovercar with her to the Military Weapon Store, where they met Wang Zhaofu as agreed.
Big Brother Wang indeed had many ways and was generous.
Lin Wang’s Third Level exoskeleton, priced at 250,000 points, had been on consignment in the Liao Yuan County Military Weapon Store for nearly two years without selling.
In contrast, the modified Second Level exoskeleton and heavy Arc Light Saber, which Ren Zhong upgraded at a total cost of 43,000 points, were purchased on the spot for 120,000 points after tax by Fatty Wang.
This wasn’t just a profit; it was a colossal windfall.
But Ren Zhong didn’t deceive Big Brother Wang because the performance of this set of equipment surpassed ordinary Third Level exoskeletons, with an output power of up to 1100 kilowatts. However, due to the design structure limitations, its modification potential was completely exhausted, affecting its value.
Fatty Wang’s purchase at 120,000 after tax was definitely not a loss.
As long as he found a good buyer, reselling it for 140,000 or 150,000 points after tax would be no problem.
The truly most valuable part of this armor set was never those additional components or special materials but rather Ju Qingmeng’s craftsmanship.
