As for how to repay Ma Xiaoling’s investment, we’ll talk about it later.
Zheng Tian accepted it calmly, while Yujin quivered his lips, seemingly wanting to refuse, but upon recalling Ren Zhong’s temperament, he kept silent.
Once the main business was mostly addressed, Ren Zhong dismissed the others, leaving only Chen Hanyu.
Ou Youning opened his mouth, about to make a reckless comment again.
Wen Lei slapped a hand over his mouth from behind, dragging the mumbling Ou Youning out forcefully.
Without needing a command from Ren Zhong, Chen Hanyu took off her backpack and pulled out recently changed Third Level Demolition Master gloves, "Mr. Ren, how do you want to look?"
"The more haggard, the better. Ideally, I should look neither human nor ghost."
Chen Hanyu nodded, "I understand."
She pulled a stool, sat down steadily, and slowly raised her hands, gently pressing toward Ren Zhong’s face.
The gloves emitted a buzzing electrical sound, with fine halos flashing and flickering.
"It will be a bit itchy, but Mr. Ren, you need to endure it."
Ten minutes later, Ren Zhong looked into the mirror.
This appearance is one where, lying at a hospital’s entrance, the doctor would be too lazy to even check for a heartbeat, sending you directly to the morgue level.
This skill is divine, even the Three Great Asian Mysteries would kneel and sing in surrender.
Ren Zhong gave a thumbs up, "Impressive."
As he spoke, he rubbed his face, feeling a bit sore, but the discomfort was quickly fading.
"How long can this last? Any side effects?"
While carefully putting the gloves back into the equipment maintenance box, Chen Hanyu said, "No side effects, but it only lasts for about a day and a half. I usually reinforce it once a day myself."
"That’s quite convenient. Just in time, our midnight hunting resumes from tomorrow. Inform the others to sleep by eight at night and wait for me at the White Wall gate with the Qingfeng Heavy Truck at four in the morning."
"Huh? Where are we hunting?"
"I’ll take you into the abandoned mines."
"Is Yujin also coming?"
"Alright, I understand. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out first?"
Ren Zhong: "Wait, I need to discuss something with you in advance. Once out of the car, I’ll carry you. We can only leave the footprints of five people. Also, take this drawing to Wen Lei, have him burn it after he sees it, and make some magnetic components according to my drawing to put in the truck. Every time before we land in the abandoned mines, we must attach these magnetic components to the heavy truck’s chassis to make it land. Once we take off again, we must immediately remove all the components."
"Huh?" Chen Hanyu was slightly surprised.
But she did not question it, just nodded, "Alright, I understand."
In the evening, Lin Wang indeed came to visit Ren Zhong, then left with a gloomy face.
Shortly after, rumors spread in the small town.
Lin Wang’s team expanded the scope of absorbing members. Besides needing a Blast Master and Armored Soldier, they now also required adding a Mechanical Warrior as a reserve member, accepting any who reached Third Level, with Lin Wang not rejecting anyone.
Ju Qingmeng, who went back to work overtime at the mall after dinner, returned home at 9:30 PM and couldn’t help but laugh non-stop when she saw Ren Zhong, who promptly went to bed at 8:00 PM.
Lin Wang was truly deceived quite miserably.
Then she left a note on the bedside table, then went to the guest room, sleeping fully dressed.
The note read, "The exoskeleton’s energy system has been modified and is ready to use. I’ve arranged for Zheng Tian to bring another Qingfeng Heavy Truck to take it."
At 4:00 AM the next day.
The long-stalled morning training team set off again, heading straight to the abandoned mines.
Have you ever seen the starlight at 4:00 AM?
On the way, Zheng Tian expressed her concerns, "Mr. Ren, our biological clock hasn’t changed that much, but after all, it’s disrupted by two hours. Over time, I’m afraid..."
"Ten days, hold on for ten days."
In these two hours, the souls under the morning training team’s knives were no longer the occasional small animals but had changed to the Third or Fourth Level Ruined Beasts in the abandoned mines.
Lin Wang once boasted about his hunting route map to Ren Zhong.
Little did he know, Ren Zhong dismissed his paltry, cherished tricks.
In terms of understanding the abandoned mines, if Ren Zhong claimed to be second, no one dared to claim first.
During this operation, Ren Zhong indeed carried Chen Hanyu almost throughout. Even when he had to put her down to join the battle, Ren Zhong instructed her to stand still without moving.
Each time a Ruined Beast was slain, he returned to carry Chen Hanyu again to where the beast lay while carefully erasing her footprints.
