"I see. You’ve been thoughtful, my brother. Are you taking the usual route or the shortcut?"
Wang Zhaofu shook his head, "I know the shortcut you’re talking about, but I can’t take it. There are many Third Level Ruined Beasts in that valley, even some Fourth Level ones. Even though I have an Armed Escort Vehicle, it’s not safe. Look at my skinny arms and legs, I can’t handle the hassle. I’m not like those Professional teams who make money just by passing through."
Ren Zhong thought to himself, there are more than just Fourth Level ones in that valley.
"By the way, speaking of the valley, I’m actually quite curious about it. Unfortunately, I can’t find any information online. Wang brother, you’re out there all the time, do you have any data on that valley?"
"This is easy. In my line of work, always updating the general distribution of Ruined Beasts is a must. I bought it with my own money from some specialized exploration Professionals, and since you need it, Ren brother, I’ll pass it to you without charge. But don’t take it as gospel. You’re a professional Scavenger, you know that the territory of Ruined Beasts changes all the time. The accuracy of this map lasts at most two or three months."
After saying that, Wang Zhaofu sent a map to Ren Zhong via his Wrist watch.
"Thanks, Wang brother. I’ll think it over." Ren Zhong didn’t stand on ceremony with Wang Zhaofu and closed his eyes, entering the Wrist watch space to seriously review the map.
A large amount of information surged into his mind, and his fingers subconsciously tapped the table.
After five minutes, he exhaled deeply, having a grasp on the situation.
The final step of the plan was now complete.
Last time, before the final battle officially erupted, Lin Wang wanted him to die knowingly, letting Bei Lihui explain everything clearly.
Ren Zhong had learned about the peculiarities of the Level Five Ruined Beast that caused casualties to Lin Wang and others in the valley.
It was a command-type Ruined Beast capable of controlling a large number of Ruined Beasts through unknown means, forming a beast group charge, extremely troublesome, as powerful as a human army.
The powerful Lin Wang and others were chased across the skies and ground by the beast group.
Although Ren Zhong hadn’t personally seen that Ruined Beast, he dared to boldly hypothesize.
He judged that the way the Level Five Ruined Beast controlled its beast group might be similar to the way the Descending Demon Baby controlled its offspring, relying on information flow.
Then, using an Information Flow Interference Bomb against it could have miraculous effects.
Even if it was impossible to kill the peculiar Level Five Ruined Beast with just one interference bomb, it could disrupt its command mechanism and buy escape time for himself, as the most unremarkable Second Level Professional.
This was the plan Ren Zhong had confirmed last night when he ordered the interference bomb.
Now, with the topography and Ruined Beast distribution map provided by Wang Zhaofu, he calculated the hiding range of the Level Five Ruined Beast in the valley, with an error of no more than two kilometers.
This precision was sufficient, enough for him to prepare in advance.
If Ren Zhong did nothing and followed a normal logic development, when morning of the 45th day came, the not particularly urgent Lin Wang would choose to return the same way, without taking the shortcut.
But he would give Lin Wang a new reason to make him decide to take the shortcut.
Last time, just to block him earlier, Lin Wang took the shortcut. This shows that in Lin Wang’s eyes, the valley, as Wang Zhaofu judged, didn’t have much risk and was instead a good place to make money by passing through.
In Lin Wang’s way of thinking, there was always a balance, just needing a slight nudge to go in the direction Ren Zhong wanted.
Ren Zhong chatted with Wang Zhaofu a bit more, then suddenly seemed to remember something and pulled out a sealed bag from his briefcase, handing it to Wang Zhaofu.
"Brother Wang, Dr. Sun Miao in Starfire Town saved my life. Yesterday I found a Source Stone, so this time I managed to make some money and bought him a pack of good tea here. I need to trouble you to make another trip and give this pack of tea to him."
Wang Zhaofu accepted the tea with a puzzled look, saying, "You could just transfer him money. I know Sun Miao, he’s money-minded. Giving him tea is not as good as directly giving money. Moreover, this is a hassle. Although I have a temporary supplier’s license, according to Purple Crystal Mining’s rules, I’m not supposed to carry packages away lightly from here."
"You can’t carry them lightly, but you still can?"
Ren Zhong held Wang Zhaofu’s hand, applying slight pressure, "Brother Wang, please do me this favor. This pack of tea is very important; it holds my heartfelt intentions."
Being a shrewd person, Wang Zhaofu quickly grasped something.
