Yes, it’s selecing, not cutting the wires.
Shi Xuan swallowed hard, "Mr. Ren, you’ve become..."
Ren Zhong: "As you know, I’ve been a Mechanical Warrior for exactly two months. I’m a genius. An inexplicable genius. The world of a genius cannot be communicated with you."
Shi Xuan fell silent again.
This must be madness!
Reason told him that this was impossible, like a dream.
Yet reality was right in front of him.
Ren Zhong watched Shi Xuan with a constant smile.
He knew how his unrestrained display of "talent" would impact Shi Xuan.
But that was his intention all along.
This time, he wanted to sabotage his collaboration with Shi Xuan and turn the relationship completely into a hierarchy.
Therefore, he wanted to establish a new invincible image in Shi Xuan’s mind.
Invincible to the point where Shi Xuan couldn’t understand, and with just a little thought, would feel a shiver from the soul.
After a long time, Shi Xuan sat upright and knelt on one knee before Ren Zhong on the other side of the cushion.
"Mr. Ren, I beg you, I plead with you to provide protection to the wild people in the Qi Mountain wild tribe. I’m already thirty-eight, I don’t have many years left, and when I die... But with a command, I’ll risk my life without hesitation!"
Above, the crowd watching by the Volcanic Lake’s edge, responsible for security as well as spectating, were agape and could not speak for a while.
Ren Zhong smiled slightly, extending two fingers.
"First, Mr. Shi, you only need to..."
"Second, I need you, Mr. Shi, to introduce me to the hacker and Information Flow Shield Master who helped you back then."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xuan’s face showed bitterness, "Those two are now Third Level Citizens, they risked helping me the last time and won’t entertain me again."
Ren Zhong smiled slightly, "I can pay more. On Source Star, there’s nothing that cannot be solved with money. If there is, it’s because not enough money is given."
On the way back, Ren Zhong made a point to instruct everyone on acting, on how to portray the sorrow of losing Yujin without overdoing it.
Then Ren Zhong opened the stock market again and glanced at Starry Shipbuilding.
Everything as usual, the growth is stable and reliable.
Ren Zhong then took stock of his assets.
The majority of his wealth remains in the stocks of Starry Shipbuilding. This text is hosted at novel~fire~net
The cash on hand is only over seven hundred thousand, but after resurrection, an additional 18,716 points silently appeared in his personal account, precisely the locked wealth accumulated from sleep in the previous timeline.
Even though Ren Zhong now is truly wealthy, previously managing tens of billions, yet amusingly, looking at this mere eighteen thousand "extra income" still brought a slight joy and satisfaction.
Re-entering "Dream Inn," revisiting Sun’s message.
"Your father was here, what a lousy place! Should burn it sooner!"
Ren Zhong pondered, erased the words left by Sun Miao, then inscribed his own line below, "Sun thief, your dad wants to see you, up for it?"
In the game "Dream Inn," the message "up for it" carries a lot of meaning, those who understand will understand.
Given Sun’s characteristic, seeing this would likely infuriate him, then he might break his rule of leaving after a message, and have a cultured and polite exchange face-to-face.
The words Ren Zhong left would disappear automatically after three days, he was unsure if Sun Miao would enter the game in the next three days, but he planned to leave such messages every three days.
He hoped Sun Miao would see the message in advance so he could make arrangements early.
However, even with the worst-case estimate, on the 75th day, Sun Miao would surely come at least once.
But in that case, time would be rather tight, prone to unexpected changes.
After completing this bit of trivial business, Ren Zhong exited the wrist watch space and began to ponder essential points in his mind.
As per the previous rhythm, in the next five days, his focus would continue to deeply manipulate Yang Bingzhong in the stock market, everything else was trivial.
After all, the whole plan was already flawlessly executed, just waiting to close the net.
But this time, Ren Zhong added a new target—keeping Captain Tang alive.
That plan would need slight adjustments.
But how to accomplish this?
The car sped along the way, and Ren Zhong pondered all the way.
Finally, before reaching the town, he completed the entirety of the new plan.
He wanted to extract Tang Shuying from the whole affair.
Back in town, Ren Zhong routinely went to see Yujin’s mother first.
Meanwhile, the news of Yujin’s death gradually spread throughout the town.
