Resurrection Empire

Sun Miao: "This..."

He was defeated by Ren Zhong in terms of logic.

"Brother Sun, you have been involved in many of my affairs. You should know what kind of person I am. When have I ever fought a battle unprepared?"

Sun Miao gritted his teeth, "Let's go! Do it! If we're going to do it, do it big! If you love to die, go die!"

Half an hour later.

Ren Zhong prepared to open a liquid meal pack, waving his hand nonchalantly, "Brother Sun, you can go back. No need to stay here, I'm really fine."

Sun Miao felt overwhelmed.

What the heck.

"No, I need to give you a blood test."

Ren Zhong: "It's effective, it really worked. Why don't you believe in miracles? Sigh."

The test results came out.

Sun Miao's eyes widened, staring at the results repeatedly, "What the heck, it worked. This isn't scientific!"

Ren Zhong's tone suddenly became profound, "Brother Sun, you understand nothing about science."

Sun Miao: "..."

"The path of science is long. Don't underestimate the vast universe just because you've had some minor achievements. We are merely frogs in a well."

Sun Miao remained silent.

Ren Zhong began devouring the liquid food in large gulps, his growling stomach seemed about to burst into laughter.

Sun Miao scratched his head, "But there are new problems. First, I can't estimate your growth based on your pain levels. Second, with your current severe injuries, you can't undergo intensive training to catalyze and accelerate the absorption of the potion."

Ren Zhong shook his head again, "The so-called intensive training catalysis involves two core factors. First, a more efficient internal material circulation. Second, allow existing cells to die from excessive fatigue and accelerate the division of new cells, increasing metabolic rate. Now that my body is already injured, the metabolic rate and material circulation strength within are already high. Why need training? This is what you know, but don't understand."

Sun Miao opened his mouth, fell silent for a long time.

He seemed extremely shocked.

Seeing him like this, Ren Zhong thought that since he had turned off his wrist watch, he might as well say directly: "Brother Sun, it's not your fault. The knowledge system that formed your scientific view was incomplete. Your consciousness is built in such a world, how could you fully escape it? Like fish in water never feel they are drowning. Now you've noticed the anomaly in your lifespan, but you're only halfway out of the mire with your feet still buried. Your knowledge system is insufficient to support you jumping out of the known framework to explore unknown mysteries."

Sun Miao was startled, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

After a long time, he let out a murky breath, "I see."

Ren Zhong looked at him with a smile.

Brother Sun had an epiphany.

Though it was unclear how deeply he understood, he had at least gained the insight to step out of the Source Star knowledge system.

Sun Miao took out the glowing green Super Armor Frenzy Potion again, "This thing..."

Ren Zhong quickly responded, "I know, use it when you're prepared to die."

"Damn! How do you know that too! Can't you let me say goodbye properly!"

Ren Zhong interrupted: "Brother Sun, I thought for a bit, to be safe. When you get back, report your safety to me every half a month."

"You're crazy, I'm not your woman!"

"If you don't agree, don't blame me for falling out later."

"What do you mean, you're threatening me?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

In the end, Sun Miao still relented, agreeing to Ren Zhong's unreasonable and excessive demand.

He angrily packed his medical kit and headed out, staggering again, clutching his abdomen.

Watching his back, Ren Zhong looked up at the clock across from the bed.

Sun Miao's cancer pain flared up five minutes earlier than last time, with a slight change.

Perhaps because Sun Miao had to go out for a consultation yesterday, the extra activity accelerated the proliferation and spread of cancer cells.

This time, Ren Zhong, lying in bed, couldn't get up and stand at the window to see Sun Miao off.

But he knew that the thin back would still look mighty.

Ren Zhong took another big bite of the liquid meal, suddenly finding the taste odd.

Chen Hanyu, entering with a wet towel, exclaimed, "Mr. Ren, you ate the black dirt excreted from your face! Lie down, let me wash you."

Ren Zhong's mouth twitched.

There it is again.

My lifetime reputation...

Forget it, in Starfire Town, I'm already seen as an incorrigible old lecher. As long as my conscience is clear, it's fine.

One day, for the sake of my reputation, I must resurrect once specifically to overturn this troublesome persona that doesn't match my character!

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Hanyu asked persistently, "Inside your underwear..."

"No need! I'll manage it! A little exercise shouldn't be a problem!"

Chen Hanyu nodded, "Then I'll come back in an hour."

Ren Zhong frowned, "Wasn't it always once every two hours before?"

Chen Hanyu: "Just now, when I was wiping, I noticed your bruises and blood marks had faded a lot, the pace of black bruises surfacing has sped up a bit."

"Huh?"

Ren Zhong, relying on his researcher's intuition, immediately sensed a key element.

By seven in the evening, Ju Qingmeng came back with equipment after an early departure from work and remeasured Ren Zhong's full body parameters.

The conclusion surfaced, this time he got lucky with his injuries and medication.

Last time, when he injected the Star Origin Injection Liquid, at 9 AM, both his Biological Electric Power and Physical Comprehensive Index were 242.24. By 9 PM, these two parameters had risen to 350.09.

Which calculates to a daily increase in power and physique of 215.71 kilowatts post-injection.

But this time, Ju Qingmeng took a measurement before leaving at 7 AM, both parameters were 244.31.

Now all his parameters were as follows.

Biological Electric Power: 415.90 kilowatts.

Brain Reaction Index: 5965.26.

Physical Comprehensive Index: 415.90.

The leap in half a day for his two trailing partners was a remarkable 171.59.

Converted, total daily increase was 343.18, far exceeding the previous 215.71, a rise of 59.09%!

Moreover, the total caloric and nutritional intake of the food he consumed all day was exactly 60% more than during the last potion injection.

The most bizarre part was, his injury healing rate also sped up significantly.

In just half a day, based on the self-inspection instrument provided by Sun Miao, he had at least a 30% recovery.

What was supposed to be a half-month recovery period shrank down to less than four days!

Ren Zhong analyzed two possibilities.

First, the absorption and digestion speed of the Star Origin Injection Liquid's potency increased, and the eventual total increase might be about the same as last time.

Second, the severe injury state reduced the difficulty of the Star Origin Injection Liquid's potency to renew and upgrade body cells, lowering the loss rate of drug components, and increasing the parameter growth efficiency. The total growth time is still ten days, resulting in a proportionally better overall improvement effect.

No matter which possibility, it's a great blessing.

As Ren Zhong silently rejoiced, Ju Qingmeng suddenly said, "Yang Bingzhong just informed me, he'll come again in an hour, still bringing a doctor from the county. He's very concerned about your health condition."

Ren Zhong was startled.

His recovery was too fast, he might get exposed!

He quietly looked towards Chen Hanyu.

Time to put the long-prepared resources into play.

Time for a full-body disguise.

Considering Chen Hanyu might keep this secret because of her possibly stunning true appearance, a secret even Zheng Tian might not know, Ren Zhong decided to let others leave temporarily before broaching the topic.

He said, "Chen Hanyu, could you help me with a disguise, make the injuries look like before, can you do that?"

Chen Hanyu was taken aback, "Mr. Ren, how did you know I could disguise people!"

Ren Zhong's mouth twitched, forgetting that he skipped a conversation step this time, and they hadn't yet cleared this up between them.

With no other choice, he put on an air of a wise and ancient figure smiling, "You can hide it from everyone, but not from me. I've seen through it for a long time."
