Resurrection Empire

"A complete set of exoskeleton armor involves anywhere from hundreds to thousands of parts, and each material used has room for improvement. The same principle applies to other professions. Improve every part that can be improved, enhance every bit of combat power that can be enhanced, and strive to create the ultimate combat conditions. That's the true interpretation of that saying."

Ma Xiaoling acted as if enlightened, "So that's what it means, I guess I didn't understand it. At that time, I really thought I was tricked, and it bothered me for a long time. Back then, Sid Meier managed to kill a Fifth Level with a Fourth Level without the kind of talent I have, so he must have achieved this."

Ren Zhong shook his head and said, "Everyone understands the principle. If you have endless money and the status of a citizen, able to buy whatever you want, who wouldn't want the best for themselves?"

Ma Xiaoling comforted him, "Don't worry, you'll become a citizen soon enough."

"Hmm."

"Besides, you're the stock god; making money is easy for you."

Ren Zhong: "I think so too."

"By the way, when we fought yesterday, I felt something strange. You weren't that strong before, but suddenly it was like you had a breakthrough and became much stronger. You could predict my moves, like you were a worm in my belly. You can't possibly have mastered Combat Intuition already, can you? It's impossible! You're only Second Level."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "What are you saying? I don't even have the Five Senses Resonance linked in my helmet, how could I activate intuition?"

"Then why?"

Ren Zhong: "Maybe I'm a genius?"

"No, I suspect you've truly examined my body. I heard that some top-level high rank warriors can perceive an opponent's physical condition just by observing their actions, which muscles are stronger and which movements they're adept at, thus accurately predicting their every move. This is called Global Information Deep Intuition, also known as Time Intuition, with an emphasis on probability prediction. Your performance was too abnormal..."

"Absolutely not! Stop it! Shift over! Work's over! See you later!"

Ren Zhong was really afraid of talking to her, fearing that he might get so irritated that he would die of a heart attack at any moment.

...

Day 50, nine o'clock in the morning.

In the bedroom of Ju Qingmeng's villa.

Sun Miao looked at Ren Zhong with a face full of helplessness.

He had been trying to persuade for more than ten minutes, but to no avail.

The situation was different from what they had agreed upon before.

This lunatic Ren Zhong actually planned to inject himself with the ultra-high concentration Star Origin Injection Liquid alone!

It was certain death!

Moreover, as the head of the research and development team for the Star Origin Injection Liquid formulation, Sun Miao knew better than anyone that when this drug activates, it stimulates body cells so intensely that the user must not have any hidden injuries or issues, as that would multiply the pain locally.

That level of pain would be unbearable for anyone, a certain death!

Ren Zhong was talking politics in the face of a Hunter, as if he had a long life ahead of him.

But even Sun couldn't pull him back, he was at his wits' end.

Ren Zhong also looked at Sun with a face full of helplessness.

He too had been trying to persuade for more than ten minutes, repeatedly saying he had a plan, no problem, just go ahead.

But despite his persuasion, Sun Miao wouldn't listen.

This time he was injured unexpectedly, and even with Sun Miao's medical skills, it would take at least ten days for full recovery.

Counting the days, there were only forty days left until the Pu Cha.

He couldn't delay the injection because of the injury, time was of the essence.

But Sun Miao resolutely refused to agree, repeatedly advising him as a doctor and a friend.

"Sigh! Why won't you listen to reason?"

Both of them sighed the same sentence together, with completely different starting points in mind, yet the same helplessness.

"Sun, do you know why I'm in a hurry to take the injection?"

Ren Zhong asked.

"I know, you want to become a Fourth Level professional, then challenge the Pu Cha examiner, to help Starfire Town pass the Pu Cha."

"Yes."

"But that's not realistic. I know you have grand ideals, but you naturally ought to look far ahead. Right now, you don't need to risk what's unbearable for a vague goal. No, this isn't called a risk, it's just sending yourself to death for nothing. You need to learn to accept regret."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "Only when I've done my utmost and still see no hope can I accept regret. I can't tolerate declaring defeat when I know I can do better. Sun, there are twenty thousand lives here. These people have been through enough suffering, I can't just watch them suffer more. If I give up on these people today out of fear of death, then in the future, I will give up on my ideals out of fear of death and hardship. Then I will no longer be the Ren Zhong you admire and recognize. Naturally, you wouldn't care about my life or death. Right?"
