Ren Zhongâs operation time is also tight, and he has to pile all resources onto himself, so he sold it at a discount.
But now time has rewound to the 45th day, suddenly giving him much more operational space.
Ren Zhong can create more growth time for Zheng Tian and Yujin, but itâs better to give this equipment to Chen Hanyu, allowing this originally non-combatant to suddenly become the ace force of the squad that can protect everyone.
This way, the others can fight more freely during their training outside.
Wang Zhaofu nodded, "Are you planning to keep it for yourself?"
Ren Zhong replied, "Yes, but Iâll need you, Brother Wang, to help me find a trustworthy expert in town to unlock it. How much will it cost? And donât look for someone in Liao Yuan County."
Wang Zhaofu nodded, "Iâll ask around then."
Three minutes later, Fatty Wang said, "Found an acquaintance from out of town, itâll cost only 250,000, and it should take about three to four days. What do you think, Brother Ren?"
Ren Zhong glanced at Fatty Wangâs communication panel and transferred 270,000 to Wang Zhaofu.
"Thereâs an extra 20,000 in there for your trouble, Brother Wang. I see that your quoted price is 250,000; you shouldnât make nothing and even lose on travel costs."
"Uh... youâre too polite."
"Hahaha, even close friends should settle accounts clearly. We will rely on each other a lot in the future. It canât always be me taking advantage; everyone should benefit, thatâs how it lasts, right?"
"Thatâs true."
Fatty Wang was somewhat moved.
Although he hadnât known Ren Zhong for long and was initially overwhelmed by Ren Zhongâs divine-level bargaining skills, he later realized that Ren Zhong was actually a very considerate person.
"Later, when we get to town, drop me off at the gate of White Wall first, then head straight to the Military Weapon Store to see Manager Ju. Leave the items with her. You can take Lin Wangâs dual pistols now and come back for the other parts in two days."
"Okay! Iâll also try to find a buyer in the next two days and transfer the money to you immediately."
Upon reaching Starfire Townâs White Wall, Ren Zhong bid farewell to Fatty Wang and quickly headed towards Starfire Resources.
Taking this time, he contacted Ju Qingmeng and relayed the details of his conversation with Fatty Wang to her.
After hearing this, Ju Qingmeng had some concerns and said, "We just finalized the overall transformation plan, and now youâre changing some parts. It seems the performance will improve, but weâll need to verify reliability and re-plan."
Ren Zhong was momentarily stunned but then understood.
He had listed the ultimate product plan based on the once-complete integration of Lin Wangâs armor.
This approach could skip a version update step, saving a lot of unnecessary spending and time.
However, from Ju Qingmengâs perspective as a technician, new concerns would naturally arise.
After some thought, Ren Zhong mildly reassured, "Thereâs no problem with reliability, no need for verification. I mentally calculated it just now; this is the final planâs list for you to check. If youâre still uneasy, we can test it using a simulator and verify it in the Virtual Reality training ground tonight."
A minute later, Ren Zhong sent the quickly compiled list to Ju Qingmeng.
Upon seeing it, Ju Qingmeng quickly entered the parameters and did a test run.
She was dumbfounded by the systemâs stability reaching 99.9999%.
Is this even possible!
It turns out youâre not just an armor system design engineer, but youâve mastered component integration too?
Youâve even taken over the craftsmenâs work!
How can we continue to rely on each other happily!
...
While Ju Qingmeng was feeling deeply affected, Ren Zhong finally arrived outside the gates of Starfire Resources at a quarter past one in the afternoon.
Ren Zhongâs arrival didnât cause any commotion.
Though heâs somewhat known in town as a new member of Lin Wangâs team, the Scavengers only see him as Lin Wangâs underling, not worth automatically parting to make way for him.
About three thousand Scavengers continued to gather tightly around the gate, neither noisy nor rushing.
Tang Shuying and Jiang Kai, along with the guards from Starfire Resources, stood fully armed atop the wall, faces cold, stern, and filled with killing intent.
However, Tang Shuying and others had already learned of Lin Wang and his teamâs demise.
Their ferocity now was mere bravado.
Ren Zhong could see the worry in their eyes from afar.
Last time, Lin Wang subdued the crowd with his fierce reputation, cutting down the Scavengersâ momentum upon arrival, and then jabbed the ground with a javelin, discharging electricity to create a clearing in the crowd, breaking the oppressive force the scavengers had painstakingly formed.
