It felt like New Year, yet it wasn’t.
In front of him, Wang Zhaofu put down the proposal with trepidation, and asked skeptically, "I thought those three announcements you made earlier were terrifying enough, but this... does this make any sense? Mr. Ren, you know, Pu Cha... personally, I don’t think it’s necessary to spend so much money on this town."
In the proposal, Ren Zhong wrote the following few points.
In the next week, he will construct a multi-occupation training field in Starfire Town, capable of training 500 people simultaneously.
Additionally, he will hire two professional doctors with medical licenses from Liao Yuan County at high salaries to upgrade the clinic into a town hospital. Although these two doctors can’t match Sun Miao’s skills, with the support of more advanced equipment, they can basically achieve "if you’re not dead, you can live."
He will also purchase 50 custom-modified Qingfeng heavy trucks to form a town shuttle system. Each truck will have 20 extra seats installed in the cargo boxes.
During the day, these 50 vehicles will shuttle back and forth between eight mid-to-low-level hunting areas like the Iron Worm Forest, Rat Cliff Mountain, Aluminum Prison Gully, with the last trip ending at eight o’clock at night.
This can effectively improve the hunting efficiency and coverage area of the Scavengers in Starfire Town.
Yang Bingzhong has been suppressing the Scavengers of Starfire Town, whereas Ren Zhong is doing the exact opposite.
Wang Zhaofu admitted that Ren Zhong’s ideas were very good, capable of quickly boosting the Scavengers’ strength.
Yet, these expenses combined total nearly ten million, and the daily maintenance cost is also as high as nearly ten thousand, with almost no profit.
It’s completely a loss-making business.
Ren Zhong shook his head with a smile, "Your concern stems from the assumption that Starfire Town will cease to exist inevitably after Pu Cha. But if that assumption is gone, then the worry has no significance."
He did not want to leave Starfire Town.
If he didn’t need to avoid standing out too much, he would even want to invest all his money there.
If Europeans hadn’t lied, and Ancient Rome was truly built in seven days.
Ren Zhong wanted to try creating a miracle in 23 days.
He now had money, people, and determination, so he attempted to single-handedly shoulder the weight of the entire town.
His actions now were also continuously testing the upper tolerance limit of the "net" for his kindness towards Second Level Citizens.
This evening was destined to be extraordinary.
The laughter and joy in the new Starfire Resources Square never ceased.
As more and more people sold their goods and left cheerfully, through word of mouth, the three major reforms proposed by Ren Zhong were known by more and more people.
The town was in an uproar, far exceeding the day Lin Wang died.
Yesterday, Ma Dafu had already announced Yang Bingzhong’s numerous evil deeds in the town.
There weren’t many of the older generation left in the town, but every survivor had friends or family who had gone missing.
Many had personally sent off family members who had to leave with luggage, giving up their spots, and were never heard from again.
Yesterday, Yang Bingzhong was brought to justice, greatly satisfying the public.
Today, the new boss Ren Zhong showed generosity, making everyone cheer for daylight.
This kind of clamor, which began at 7:05 in the evening, never stopped. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovєlFіre.net
Even more Scavengers gathered outside the Lin Wang Manor, where Ren Zhong had temporarily stayed, eagerly awaiting.
They wanted to say thank you to Ren Zhong.
Ren Zhong was indeed in the manor, but he chose not to come out.
The more others were grateful, the more he suffered.
At this time, the manor’s large dining room was decorated in a festive manner.
This was Zheng Tian’s idea yesterday when Yang Bingzhong was punished, meant for today’s victory feast.
Wen Lei was boisterously drinking with Ou Youning.
Zheng Tian somehow got a microphone, connected it to the dining room’s broadcasting system, singing off-key while drinking.
Bai Feng still wore that expressionless and emotionless look, just sitting by the table snatching food with his long arms.
Chen Hanyu, too, didn’t speak much, drinking fruit wine in big gulps with red eyes.
Ren Zhong did not spoil the fun by stopping their celebration.
In some sense, everyone present except him had a life-and-death vendetta directly or indirectly with Yang Bingzhong.
The enemy was dead, and the person they followed had taken over; their wanton revelry was quite reasonable.
Unknowingly, the time came to 9:15 at night, and the outside commotion gradually quieted down.
Though reluctant to part, the Scavengers had to abide by the legal sleep requirement and head off to the sleeping capsules.
Wen Lei carried the drunken Ou Youning away.
Bai Feng disappeared at some point unbeknownst to anyone.
Zheng Tian lay passed out on the dining table, seemingly drunk into unconsciousness.
Chen Hanyu continued drinking, sip by sip.
It was remarkable; despite her mild temperament and soft voice, she had quite a tolerance for alcohol.
Even after drinking so much, only a blush arose on her cheeks.
Seeing her go for another gulp, Ren Zhong reached out, "That’s enough, you’ve had plenty. The deceased are gone, and the living must look forward and move on. Chen Hanyu, do you want to drink yourself to death here?"
Chen Hanyu put down her glass, her blurred eyes fixated on Ren Zhong, "Mr. Ren, I... thank you."
Ren Zhong could not escape this thank you he had evaded all day.
He slowly shook his head, "Revenge is just a process, not the purpose of life. If one lives only for revenge, there are only two outcomes. Either they die on the road to revenge, or after completing revenge, fall into endless emptiness, living without meaning. If you truly wish for your parents to rest in peace with no regrets, then you should think about how to make your life more valuable in the future. This is just the beginning, it’s far from time for you to thank me."
Chen Hanyu slowly stood up, "So... I want to give myself more courage."
At some point, she had quietly put on the Demolition Master gloves.
She covered her face with her hands.
Underneath the gloves, shimmering lights flickered constantly.
Ren Zhong understood her intention but didn’t stop her.
It wasn’t out of curiosity about Chen Hanyu’s true appearance, but because he knew that disguising was delicate work. If he interfered recklessly, any mistake could cause a lifelong regret in the form of a scar.
