Ren Zhong nodded, "Take care, Brother Wang."
"Meeting Brother Ren today has truly been a great fortune! That’s the phrase you just used, right?"
"Let’s meet again another time. I’m off now."
After sending off Wang Zhaofu, Ren Zhong drove straight to the parking lot.
Information Flow Interference Bomb (Fifth Level, single-use special bomb).
Armed Qingfeng Heavy Truck (Third Level military equipment).
Eight core joint biological metal bearing hubs (core components of the Third Level exoskeleton).
Fission Beast Tendon (customized Third Level exoskeleton superconducting transmission line).
Aiman Beast Armor Alloy (can be integrated into the Arc Light Saber and large armor parts like the Exoskeleton Chest Armor, Shoulder Armor, Back Armor, further enhancing material performance, Third Level alloy).
These were all the lethal items he obtained from the black market through Wang Zhaofu today.
The core item among them is the Information Flow Interference Bomb, a Citizen-exclusive equipment, with a market price of 20,000 points in the county-level military weapon store. However, since it was purchased as a restricted item from the black market, an extra 5,000 was added, costing him 25,000.
Armed Qingfeng Heavy Truck, 7,000.
The other three components altogether cost 10,555, all crucial parts for his further armor modification.
A complete set of Third Level Balanced Exoskeleton Basic Suit costs at least 150,000 points, which Ren Zhong absolutely can’t afford right now.
But he must rapidly boost his combat capability in the shortest time, so he could only follow the guidance of "Armored Insights" to select the three most critical parts, striving to gain the maximum upgrade with the minimal cost in the shortest time.
Arriving at the parking lot, he opened the trunk, and everything was there, not a single item missing.
Ren Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
Fatty Wang didn’t play any tricks.
Of course, he wasn’t really afraid of being tricked; it’s just that avoiding unnecessary trouble is always better.
He took a slight risk this time and established quite a rapport with the counterpart. Next time, when they meet, they could become genuine confidants.
By then, Fatty Wang would surely be astonished, wondering how there could be someone who understands him so well, as if they were parasites in his belly.
In the small laboratory of the military weapon store, Ren Zhong and Ju Qingmeng were having a discussion.
"Thanks for your hard work tonight. I’m sorry to trouble you to work overtime again."
"It’s no problem. I’ve been waiting for you. If you can’t get through this hurdle with Lin Wang, then our matters naturally cannot proceed."
"I’ll first perform a comprehensive parameter test for you. I also need to fine-tune your equipment based on your situation. Your current war armor modification is too high; it’s become a unique customization on the entire Source Star, and I can’t take it lightly."
About half an hour later, Ren Zhong sat upright from the testing device.
Ju Qingmeng had measured dozens of parameters for him, with the four core ones as follows:
Brain-Machine Synchronization Rate 29.99%
Biological Electric Power Carrying Capacity 166.9 kilowatts.
Brain Reaction Index 318.3
Physical Comprehensive Index 166.9
Ju Qingmeng looked at the parameters, sighing, "Your improvement is incredibly fast. Give you another month and a half, by the time of the census day, you will certainly reach the Third Level standard. Combined with the armored insights you’ve learned, I will further customize equipment for you. Maybe you’ll be able to face Lin Wang in a head-on battle."
Ren Zhong shook his head slightly, "Time waits for no one; let’s see how it goes."
Just at this moment, Ren Zhong’s wrist watch suddenly vibrated.
In his mind, Ma Dafu’s bone-conducted voice echoed, "Ren Zhong, what exactly are you doing? Why are you being noticed again?"
Ren Zhong frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
"You’re at the military weapon store, right? I’ll have Ma Xiaoling come to pick you up now. You need to give me an explanation in person."
Concealed within the "Sauron’s Magic Eye" and wrist watch, an omnipresent monitoring and surveillance system.
This was a new term Ren Zhong heard in Ma Dafu’s private reception room after removing the wrist watch, making his brows twitch subconsciously.
Just now, when he reflexively used an idiom, he narrowly escaped a grim fate at the Ghost Gate.
If not for Ma Dafu using his mayoral privileges to slightly lower his Threat Index and Rebellion Index, he would have been done for on the spot.
The "interesting" part of this world is that danger never ceases to exist. It’s always lurking nearby like an invisible venomous snake, ready to strike at any moment.
