Chapter 632 - 238 I Like Red

Day 96, 5 PM, Ren Zhong, who had just returned to Starfire Town, stood before a full-length mirror in a 2.4-meter-tall azure armor.

He looked at the seemingly simple design which in reality boasted a structure far more intricate and advanced than modern fighter jet armor, feeling a multitude of emotions.

A mysterious, blood-bound connection subtly established itself between him and the armor.

Ju Qingmeng, who stood behind him, asked, "How does it feel wearing it for the first time?"

Ren Zhong’s lips curved slightly as he replied, "Does it look good?"

Ju Qingmeng chuckled, covering her mouth, "This isn’t a fashion show; why would it matter how it looks? Isn’t its exterior the same as any standard equipment?"

Ren Zhong said, "However, its interior is uniquely one of a kind. From now on, it’s called Red Blade. Red like the color, blade like a knife."

"Red Blade? But isn’t it blue?"

"Hahaha, that’s not important. I like red. By the way, I’ve written down the uses for the remaining materials on this paper. After you read it, remember to burn it. If you’re too busy, call Wen Lei over to help. He’s very talented."

"Alright."

"Well then, should I head out?"

"Are you going to spar with Ma Xiaoling?"

"Yes. It might be intense this time, so we’ve chosen the deep end of Bone Valley as our arena. At the moment, no Scavengers can reach there yet."

"What? Seriously? But this is your first time using this equipment. Aren’t you afraid you won’t be accustomed to it?"

Ren Zhong shook his head with a smile, "But in my dreams, I wore the Red Blade Armor crafted by your hands till the last drop of blood."

"Huh?"

Before Ju Qingmeng could recover, Ren Zhong had already quietly left.

After being stunned for a while, Ju Qingmeng left the workshop and headed to the next room.

Here, hackers and Information Flow Shield Masters were tirelessly debugging equipment.

Upon seeing Ju Qingmeng walk in, the Information Flow Shield Master responsible for testing device stability using a regular dodecahedron crystal complained, "Manager Ju, you should talk to General Manager Ren. What’s the deal with arranging forty-nine outdated one-way Ghost Particle Communicators into an array? Even if it can amplify signal strength, it doesn’t serve any purpose, right?"

"The sole purpose of using an array of Ghost Particle Communicators is to increase wireless connection strength using parallel signals, which enhances communication stability but doesn’t boost the information bandwidth. Simply put, the speed doesn’t increase; data transmission speed remains the same. Under Source Star’s atmospheric conditions, interference is low, and a single communicator’s stability is more than sufficient. Such a massive array could even serve as a regional information hub."

The hacker responsible for programming the central control of the equipment added, "Exactly, it’s too extravagant."

Ju Qingmeng waved her hand, "Your task for the upcoming month is to complete your work according to General Manager Ren’s instructions, and receive your full pay, not to provide suggestions. As for what this equipment is specifically for and the next steps, you will naturally find out then."

"Alright then."

After exchanging greetings with them, Ju Qingmeng headed to the Military Weapon Store.

Before going out, she quietly returned to her bedroom and changed into a bright red casual outfit.

...

Evening, deep within Bone Valley.

The area was densely wooded and overgrown, swarming with Ruined Beasts.

After the Demon Infant descended, the number of regular Ruined Beasts in Bone Valley not only didn’t decrease but seemed to grow exponentially.

Occasionally, Ruined Beasts noticed the two intruders. These Ruined Beasts, lacking intelligence and driven only by instinct, immediately charged forward, only to end up accomplishing nothing.

Ma Xiaoling stood with arms crossed, speechless as he watched Ren Zhong, who was carefully dismantling a Crystal Chip with his Demolition Master gloves, and complained, "Seriously, you’ve got assets worth billions, and you’re still scavenging? Hey! You’re breaking them! What’s it worth now, 500 points? What’s the point?"

Ren Zhong placed the devalued Fourth Level Crystal Chip into the storage box and shook his head, "You’ve made three mistakes in that single sentence."

"Huh?"

"First, not billions; my current net worth is 20.4 billion."

Ma Xiaoling: "Hiss!"

"Second, I’m the owner of Starfire Resources, so when I dismantle a Crystal Chip and sell it back to Liao Yuan Resources, I get a thousand points, not five hundred."

Ma Xiaoling rolled his eyes again, "You’re worth over two hundred billion and still care about a thousand points. Tsk, so stingy."

"Third, you asked what’s the point. I believe it is worth it. Dismantling a Crystal Chip is just a small effort for me. Since I’m already out here, I might as well do it while idling. It only takes a minute or two at most."
