Resurrection Empire

After a vivid acting class, Ren Zhong lay in the back seat and started to rest with his eyes closed.

He re-entered the virtual thinking space within the wrist watch.

First, he glanced at the stock market situation.

Very good, Starcross Shipbuilding remained as steady as ever.

Due to the particularity of this stock, Ren Zhong didn't remember its exact daily increase, but could vaguely determine that the current increase seemed slightly higher than the previous timeline, undoubtedly due to his and Yang Bingzhong's funds entering the market.

It's unclear exactly how much money the wealth-obsessed lunatic Yang Bingzhong discreetly invested under other accounts, but the amount certainly wouldn't be small.

Hmm, I wish you luck, Mr. Yang, and I also thank you, Mr. Yang, for helping me carry the palanquin, allowing me to earn a little more.

Recently, the stock market has entered a stable period, and indeed, stocks with daily increases exceeding 30% are rare.

Even if there are some, they are small-cap stocks, likely to delist and dissolve after a wave of rallies.

At this moment, the scale of funds Ren Zhong was maneuvering had steadily expanded to over 40 million. Neither much nor little, he lacked the energy and mind to play cat and mouse with small-cap manipulative forces.

Therefore, from the perspectives of time cost, energy expenditure, safety coefficient, and controllability, Starcross Shipbuilding, which he unearthed from the time gap, first slowly rising then plummeting divine large-cap stock, was indeed one of his best current choices.

Considering the factor of dragging Yang Bingzhong into the water, the words "one of" could be eliminated.

After watching the stock market, Ren Zhong opened the Virtual Life software within the internet feature.

The VR giant screen "ahead" of him rapidly pixelated, then dispersed.

A new mosaic image emerged, turning from dark to bright, becoming clear, and a warmly and tidily furnished interior space quickly took shape.

In the past, he had long avoided this super-large virtual social software that combined simulation games, social interaction, advertisement distribution, and other functions.

This was because he feared exposing his own anomalies within the information cocoon house.

But now, as he continuously integrated into Source Star Society, his disguise thickened, and this issue gradually dissipated on its own.

The instant he acquired Starfire Town citizenship, Ren Zhong became a bona fide Source Star resident, even more authentic than the wildlings born and raised in the town.

He gained the right to breathe freely in the internet.

"Welcome home, master. What game would you like to play today? Xiaoya has the latest financial news you're most interested in. Would you like to see it?"

A delightful electronic female voice echoed in Ren Zhong's ears.

This was the AI steward he hired in the Virtual Life space, able to manage the house for him when he went offline.

Ren Zhong raised his hand and snapped the noisy steward off, then summoned a panel.

On the panel, there were again a variety of online game icons.

Among them was Ma Xiaoling's favorite - "Wilderness Era", which integrated simulation management, RTS, and RPG elements.

The game's background was precisely around four to five thousand years ago, at the early stage of Source Star humans transitioning from nomadic to predominantly agricultural civilization in castle towns.

According to historical descriptions, it was a magnificent period of heroes contending for supremacy.

During that era, outstanding human leaders constantly rose from obscurity, discovering methods to deal with Ruined Beasts using flesh and intellect, led their clans in resisting Ruined Beasts, and then utilized objects from low-level Ruined Beasts one by one, using various insane methods to continuously enhance their combat power, to kill stronger Ruined Beasts, obtain better materials, build more prosperous towns, until they established a once-magnificent dynasty.

In the game, players played as one leader after another.

The game expanded the map of Source Star, essentially allowing players to be one person, one city, while simplifying the difficulty for humans to deal with Ruined Beasts, naturally bringing in more human interaction in the game, which was the guild nation war Ma Xiaoling couldn't stop thinking about.

"Wilderness Era" was indeed a good game that could greatly satisfy Ma Xiaoling's hero dreams.

However, Ren Zhong did not choose "Wilderness Era" but instead clicked on another quirky game called "Dream Inn".

Compared to the blood and sand romance in "Wilderness Era", "Dream Inn", this purely simulation management leisure mini-game only featured genuine romance.

Its gameplay was very simple.

Players could exert various efforts to build their own dream inn villas, designing a unique aesthetic style to attract other players or NPCs to stay.

The more players were willing to spend on embellishing their inn villas from inside to outside, making them more luxurious, the more guests they could attract, allowing them to continuously improve their ranking on the Dream Inn popularity list, praise list, landlord personality praise list, landlord skill praise list, and other leaderboards.
