Ren Zhong couldn’t shadow everyone personally to force them to improve, but with authority in hand, he could initiate systemic changes to fully unleash the potential of the desolate people of Starfire Town.
It’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
This time, he was determined to push the desolate people of Starfire Town to their limits, making them truly the backbone of his cause.
He would not lose again.
After Ma Dafu finished reading his "Plan," his words took on a subtly coincidental tone.
"Weren’t you and your team supposed to... you’re giving me this? Unless you have a way to deal with the Cold-blooded Butcher?"
Ren Zhong laid it out clearly, "Team? What team?"
Ren Zhong: "Old Ma, there’s no need to say more, my decision is made. I’m giving the Butcher two choices: either concede or die by my hand. I’m ten or even a hundred times stronger than you imagine."
Finishing his words, Ren Zhong ended the communication and re-entered Virtual Reality.
Ma Xiaoling: "What did you just say to my dad? He seems a bit off."
Ma Xiaoling: "Speak up!" Latest content published on novel✦fire.net
Once the time loop was broken, Ren Zhong finally spoke, "I told him, I gave the Cold-blooded Butcher two choices."
"What?" Ma Xiaoling was puzzled, "What choices? Which two?"
"Either die or concede."
This time Ma Xiaoling fell silent.
After a long pause, she slowly said, "Are you messing with me?"
Ren Zhong grinned, "Let’s spar once, and you’ll understand naturally."
Five minutes later, Ma Xiaoling withdrew and retreated, "What’s going on? Why is your dynamic prediction of me so accurate? Have you mastered the complete Time Intuition?"
Ren Zhong wasn’t sure how to answer her.
Strictly speaking, he hadn’t acquired the kind of "Time Intuition" that would allow him to predict an equal-level opponent’s moves to a certain extent.
But if the evaluation target was narrowed down solely to Ma Xiaoling, he truly did have "Time Intuition."
He had sparred with Ma Xiaoling so many, many times.
In the previous timeline, he had even fought a life-and-death battle with her.
He was too familiar with Ma Xiaoling.
He knew all her little habits all too well.
So much so that as long as Ma Xiaoling’s body made the slightest movement, he could immediately predict her next entire set of actions, whether it was an all-out burst or using a trick she learned at the academy, it was all ineffective.
If Ren Zhong wanted to woo her, he could make her head over heels in at most five minutes.
Just like now, Ren Zhong already knew her next sentence would definitely be boasting about her recent breakthrough to Fifth Level.
As expected, Ma Xiaoling raised her eyebrows, "Alright then, although I don’t know why you’ve inexplicably gotten stronger again, let me show you my true strength, since we’re in a Fifth Level Virtual Reality now, you won’t mind if I fully unleash my Sixth Sense, right?"
Ren Zhong first feigned surprise, "What? You’re already Fifth Level?"
Ma Xiaoling chuckled, "Of course."
Ren Zhong: "Alright, then let’s try."
An hour later, Ma Xiaoling once again fell into deep confusion.
As the whole night passed, her confusion did not lessen; instead, it grew deeper and deeper.
What has this guy stealthily mastered, even when she used her Fifth Level state and fully activated the upgraded Perfect Level "Sixth Sense," she still couldn’t beat him.
Not only that, but this guy’s predictions were even more accurate!
Back on the airship headed for Starfire Town, Ren Zhong clapped his hands, "Give this guy a dose of suppressant and tie him up."
He then pointed to the burly Mechanical Warrior in Tang Shuying’s team, "You fly the airship."
Jiang Kai and others looked bewildered.
Why the sudden assassination attempt on General Ren?
Wait a minute, even though he’s a Fourth Level Armored Soldier, how did the battle end with no noise at all?
Ren Zhong then dialed Ma Shu’s communication.
Negotiations concluded, each got what they wanted.
Ren Zhong obtained the special procurement quota he desired, and Ma Shu obtained a peaceful resolution.
Upon arriving in Starfire Town, yet another busy routine unfolded. By evening, Ren Zhong awaited Sun Miao at the "Dream Inn."
Upon meeting, Ren Zhong’s first words were, "Brother Sun, how’s that cancerous man of yours progressing?"
Sun Miao: "Damn you! Are you crazy! Can you stop talking like that? Are you trying to get me killed?"
Ren Zhong chuckled, "Brother Sun, you’re overthinking it."
"Goodbye! I don’t know you at all!"
Sun Miao said as he was about to log off.
Ren Zhong grabbed him, refusing to let go.
Simultaneously, a system notification rang in their minds.
"Congratulations, players ’Master Dafeng’ and ’Master Dao’ for achieving a new milestone, ’Heartfelt Touches Between Men.’"
