Every time Zheng Tianâs team begged from Bei Lihui, they only made a small profit.
But every evening, the team scored big at the Resource Recovery Company.
Zheng Tianâs account was registered under Lin Wang, and money circulation couldnât escape Lin Wangâs eye.
This so-called "secret" didnât really exist.
Zheng Tian probably knew this too, but she was careless.
As for Ren Zhongâs gains from night-time hunting, he sold them using a rogue account, enduring a 30% procurement tax, and it seemed unnoticed.
Otherwise, Lin Wang wouldnât have waited until today; he would have acted earlier.
If not mistaken, in the eyes of Starfire Resources Company, the professional team is still nothing more than a tool.
Zheng Tian once said that people like Lin Wang were not Citizens, so in the eyes of the upper-middle-class Citizens, or business owners, they were still tools.
Moreover, to Upgrade, Zheng Tianâs team searched the town for necessary resources, making big moves, and their ambition was "glaringly obvious."
Even before yesterday, Lin Wang was likely pondering how to handle this disobedient registered team.
Yesterday, during the hunt in Bone Valley, Zheng Tianâs actions became the last straw that broke the camelâs back.
Various signs linked together, leading to Lin Wangâs team executing routine operations today to eliminate hidden dangers and nip any threats in the bud.
Lin Wang didnât need uncooperative, opinionated tools.
Talent? It didnât matter; he wasnât grooming successors, just enslaving.
Lin Wang was also only preserving his dominance within the Scavenger Team.
It was reasonable, aligned with the ways of this world.
Fortunately, Ren Zhong didnât participate in todayâs hunting and became the lucky escapee.
Subsequently, Lin Wang publicly accused him, under his private name among wastelanders, of "impersonating a Pu Cha Officer," issuing a bounty of 10 Contribution Points.
The Bounty Order disclosed some of Ren Zhongâs personal information, such as his general appearance and armor design.
Many wastelanders were drawn to the bounty, and so the streets were bustling tonight, almost having a festive atmosphere.
But some wastelanders remained skeptical and only used it as a topic for idle conversation.
Ren Zhong heard from these wastelanders that "impersonating a Pu Cha Officer" was no small matter.
Many knew that a Pu Cha Officer was a mysterious position separate from regular administrative duties of the Association, responsible for discreetly monitoring the development of towns.
The officerâs opinions played a crucial role in the annual review.
Different officers had different work styles.
Some liked being flamboyant, others preferred anonymity.
Several towns were coldly tagged as abandoned by a Pu Cha Officer without realizing it.
The simple word "abandoned" was catastrophic for the wastelanders residing in these towns.
The power of a Pu Cha Officer was astonishing.
Yet, the impersonation, while seemingly serious, wasnât overly so.
After all, with the existence of Hunters in this age, solving and pursuing someone was not too easy.
As long as the evidence was solid, the Mayor would report it, upload the warrant to the Hunter system, and the suspect wouldnât escape even if they fled to the ends of the earth.
Since the person wasnât caught, and no warrant appeared in the wristwatch system, and no one even had his photo, indicating he could leave his own alley unscathed, it shows Mayor Ma Dafu hadnât made a clear stand.
Perhaps the news hadnât reached the Mayor, or maybe he was verifying the information through some channels.
Another lucky thing was that in the alley where Ren Zhong settled, only that young man knew him as Mr. Ren and quickly guessed that he was being sought, rushing to report it.
Others knew the name Ren Zhong, but couldnât match it to the new wealthy resident in the alley.
As night fell, Ren Zhong continued to observe while moving through the crowd.
More and more people were swarming onto the streets, either preparing to secure spots in the sleep pods or hoping for some luck.
Amidst the bustling crowd, Ren Zhong heard many people murmuring.
"Where did he go?"
"Where did this guy go?"
"Oh my, ten Contribution Points. If we could get that, weâd be rich!"
"So many people are searching, yet no oneâs seen him. Could he have already escaped?"
"Impossible! There are people guarding the town gate; he surely canât escape and must still be here."
"Donât lose hope!"
