At this moment, Ren Zhong had already established absolute confidence in the battle for tomorrow.
Ren Zhong bent down and effortlessly lifted the motionless Xiao Ling, placing her in the passenger seat.
Teacher Ma remained silent throughout, leaving one to wonder what was on her mind.
After a long pause, Ma Xiaoling suddenly sighed deeply in full melancholy, "Oh!"
Ren Zhong heard this and thought to himself if he had shown off too much and knocked her confidence.
After all, Ma Xiaoling had been a genius in the spotlight all her life, never having suffered such a setback in combat ability.
He said, "Don't lose heart, you have no idea how much I spent on this armor. It's not that your strength is inferior, it's just that you don't have as much money as I do."
Ma Xiaoling shook her head, "It's not that I'm unwilling to concede to you. I was just thinking, since you don't need me to teach you combat skills anymore, do I then not have a reason to learn stocks from you? I've got a lot of insights recently that I haven't asked you about."
Ren Zhong: "Uh..."
After a long pause, he said quietly, "These are all trivial matters. We are friends; if you want to keep learning stocks, how could I not teach you?"
Ma Xiaoling became happy again, "Then it's settled! Sooner or later, I'll make as much money as you do!"
Ren Zhong: "And then get equipment like mine to wash away the shame?"
Ma Xiaoling shook her head, "No, I want to dominate 'Wilderness Era'! Establish the strongest kingdom! Make no one dare to challenge my guild!"
Ren Zhong rolled his eyes.
He gave in.
The happiness of simple-minded people always comes so easily.
Truly enviable.
...
The 90th day, eleven in the morning.
In the basement of the Armored Laboratory, Ren Zhong got up early and looked at the neatly arranged exoskeleton components on the wall, while subconsciously recalling the wonderful resonance he felt between himself and the equipment while sparring with Ma Xiaoling last night.
It seemed no longer a dead object, but truly possessed its own life.
On the small bed beside him, Ju Qingmeng was still deeply asleep.
Wen Lei slept in the regular workshop upstairs.
Last night, after returning, based on his insights, he suggested that several key components needed upgrades.
Time was too tight, so Ju Qingmeng and Wen Lei, who were waiting up, simply stayed up late with him for most of the night.
After much busy work, the three of them worked together until four in the morning.
Now the advancement completion of the war armor reached 60%, with further improvement.
Ren Zhong could naturally wake up after only seven hours of sleep, but the other two had to sleep for eight hours.
Ren Zhong opened his newly exchanged seven-level wristwatch worth five million points and checked the emails, grinning.
It's here.
He first clicked to receive the file, and after five seconds, a huge file package with a total data volume of over 100T was loaded into the wristwatch.
Then, Ren Zhong took out a superconductive data line, connected the wristwatch to the intelligence brain inside the armor helmet, and clicked to load.
The wristwatch projected a loading progress bar.
The progress bar advanced at a rate of 2% per minute.
Calculating the time, it should be just completed by eleven fifty-five.
This file package was sent by Ren Zhong on the 85th day, where he sent all his combat training records in the hibernation space to a professional team composed of hackers, Information Flow Shield Masters, War Artists, and another citizen profession "Actuarial Programmer", which is the actuary.
This team, after five days of work, finally integrated Ren Zhong's personal combat style and created a brand new, unique custom combat command system for him.
This system streamlined a large amount of useless redundant algorithms, significantly enhancing the response speed of the war armor's intelligence brain.
Ren Zhong spent fifty million Contribution Points on this.
The hackers and Information Flow Shield Masters were introduced by Shi Xuan.
As for the War Artists and actuaries, they were Wang Zhaofu's connections.
Only when you become a wealthy citizen can you experience the feeling of making the impossible happen with money.
Ren Zhong now understood this feeling.
He donned the armor and initiated parameter self-check.
Compared to yesterday, all parameters showed obvious changes.
This was the evolutionary metal's passive transformation initiated after experiencing Ma Xiaoling's Fifth Level peak power, matching the strength level required for wearing the equipment.
The new retrofit components also received coordination influence from other parts and were evolving in synchrony.
If his combat strength improvement had to be quantified, then over the night, considering the combat command system's efficacy, the increase was about 20%.
...
In the afternoon, under the eye of the public, the arrogant Cold-blooded Butcher...
Died.
He lasted less than half an hour, even faster than Ma Xiaoling.
Countless eyes fell on Ren Zhong's back.
He was completely unaware.
Looking down at the body, shattered in two on the ground, Ren Zhong felt a mix of emotions.
He thought he would be very excited, but to his surprise, when the event truly occurred, his mind was as calm as a still pool of water.
Because long before the clash, Ren Zhong had already known the outcome.
The butcher had no chance, not even a sliver of chance.
His equipment was too overpowering, and he was too familiar with the butcher.
In the previous timeline, although he was defeated, he understood the source and operation rules of the Cold-blooded Butcher's power thoroughly.
Ren Zhong maintained the upper hand throughout.
When the butcher showed a slight fatigue, he easily found a loophole in the superficially seamless power operation and broke through with the Corrosive Blade first before abruptly pulling out the Ice Flame Giant Blade to slice him in half.
Ren Zhong won with no difficulty, and there was nothing thrilling.
Therefore, he couldn't get excited now.
This mindset was akin to a college graduate taking a first-grade math test.
Getting a perfect score was a certainty, naturally losing the nervous excitement of anticipation.
Behind him, the people of Starfire Town couldn't stay calm anymore.
The citizens looked at each other.
Ma Dafu slumped to the ground, tears streaming down his face.
The deserted people widened their eyes constantly, afraid it was an illusion.
"We won!"
No one knew who shouted first.
After a brief silence, the deserted people began to boil, started to rejoice.
Starfire Town lived.
One person after another ran wildly towards Ren Zhong.
Ren Zhong turned back, looking at Zheng Tian, Chen Hanyu, Ju Qingmeng, Yujin, and others running at the forefront, he smiled.
This time, he hadn't even arranged for everyone to leave beforehand.
Ren Zhong looked up again towards the distance, where Ying was gazing this way on the high wall watchtower, accompanied by Sun Miao.
Ren Zhong put away the Corrosive Blade, removed the helmet, tucked it under his left arm, and looked at the reporter Xiao Xingyue and the cameras behind her on the other side, spread his hands, and smiled: "I won, as expected. I gave him a chance to surrender, and he didn't cherish it. I suppose it must be he killed too many people in the Pu Cha and forgot that he would die too."
