Ren Zhong gently patted the machine, "That’s how it is. Later, make sure someone from the guard sits here every day, so the machine doesn’t get broken."
Ma Xiaoling was surprised, "That’s not the issue. But this machine costs a hundred thousand points each, where did Sun Miao get so much money from?"
Ren Zhong’s mouth twitched, "Uh, maybe it’s his secret stash, who knows."
Brother Sun had told him fifty thousand.
Clearly, Ren Zhong had been exploiting Sun Miao for over a month, but in the end, stumbled on this refining of Star Origin Injection Liquid.
However, Ren Zhong couldn’t bring himself to get angry.
Sun Miao was always strapped for cash.
He needed to support forbidden research and wanted to save up to buy an intelligent diagnostic machine, to prevent the Starfire Town patients from falling into despair after he leaves.
Brother Sun truly was a hard-working man and indeed a good person.
For the first time, as Ren Zhong entered the Fourth Level virtual reality training, he suddenly stopped his movements, clicking to stop the training just as the corrosive liquid sprayed by the Crystalized Pangolin was about to reach him.
He returned to the initial interface of virtual reality and clicked to reload the parameters.
"Reading personal parameters..."
"Estimated Brain-Machine Synchronization Rate: 39%."
"Brain Reaction Index: 737.4."
"Biological Electric Power: 1000 kilowatts."
"Physical Comprehensive Index: 1000."
Under the miraculous effects of the Star Origin Injection Liquid, compared to three days ago, his carrying power and physical index had risen by almost six hundred, more than doubling.
Two items among the three major indices finally surpassed the minimum Fourth Level standard, while the long-leading Brain Reaction Index fell behind.
In a sense, he had now transformed into a "strong-limbed, simple-minded" contestant.
He wanted to say to his brain, after being a genius carrying two losers for years, have you finally met your match today?
Have you become the one dragging behind?
Get back up quickly, just waiting for you, and I’ll be able to break through to the Fourth Level!
Once all parameters meet the standards and the breakthrough is completed, he will be able to experience the Five Senses Resonance in advance during the Fourth Level virtual reality training, for which the entry fee is as high as 2560 points per session.
The Fourth Level virtual reality training doesn’t differ much from the Third Level in terms of regular functions.
Besides being able to challenge Level Four Ruined Beasts, the core function is to perfectly simulate the effect of Five Senses Resonance during training, allowing warriors who have just been promoted to Fourth Level to experience the taste of man-machine unity in advance, speeding up their adaptation speed in the real world.
Taking a deep breath, Ren Zhong went back into training once more.
By 10 PM, Ma Xiaoling appeared on time.
Since the Fourth Level training ticket was too expensive, Ju Qingmeng considered that her work had officially started, so she didn’t enter alongside him this time, which also helped Ren Zhong save some money.
Although Ren Zhong felt it wasn’t necessary to save , he couldn’t persuade her otherwise.
Having more financial resources and being less sensitive to money, Ma Xiaoling didn’t think about these things at all. After entering the hypnosis space, she raised her hand to select team mode and joined directly.
At this time, Ren Zhong was fiercely battling with numerous Fourth Level Ruined Beasts, so he didn’t notice Teacher Ma had arrived.
The new parameters demanded new requirements on his control. What he needed to accumulate now was not methods to tackle Ruined Beasts, but to understand himself and explore his own potential.
Seeing him engrossed in battle, Ma Xiaoling didn’t interrupt him, but rather happily opened the stock market interface and started buying and selling blindly.
About five minutes later, due to insufficiently precise control over his equipment, Ren Zhong made a minor error, which the Ruined Beast pack accurately seized on, tearing his body to pieces.
His figure reformed behind Ma Xiaoling.
Five minutes passed, Ren Zhong gently asked, "Teacher Ma, how much did you earn again?"
Ma Xiaoling waved her hand, "Not much, just a few thousand points or so, uh..."
"Teacher Ma, how did I do in the battle just now?"
"Pretty good, very good!"
"Then please comment on my mistake just now?"
Ma Xiaoling: "Tonight’s moon is really big and round. Huh, where’s Manager Ju? Why didn’t she come? Oh! You wouldn’t have deliberately sent her away, wanting to be alone with me, right? What do you want to do? Late at night, alone with a man and a woman, you wouldn’t want to do something unhealthy to me, would you?"
This is virtual reality, there’s not a damn moon!
Ren Zhong was extremely annoyed, "Teacher Ma, back then we agreed. I teach you seriously, and you take me seriously. Now that you’ve somewhat mastered the skills, you should naturally be fully committed. My training is very important. It won’t be long... anyway, there’s no room for sloppiness. Every session of this Fourth Level training costs me over two thousand points, so please focus."
Ma Xiaoling waved her hand, "That’s not true. I’m just at Fourth Level now, and as a Guard Captain with an official position, I don’t have to pay to enter a Fourth Level session. Check your fee records."
