The two barely escaped when Ju Qingmeng smiled and said, "You’re a celebrity now."
Ren Zhong also smiled.
"The greatest value of fame is not being recognized wherever you go, but that my every action will leave a deeper mark in the world. Others can no longer easily erase my existence without reason."
Ju Qingmeng was startled and looked back at him.
She knew that Ren Zhong still didn’t feel safe.
She quietly took Ren Zhong’s hand and whispered, "Don’t worry about my affairs. Although the other party is a large military industry group, they still have to operate within the association’s rules."
Ren Zhong knew she misunderstood, but he didn’t explain, "Mm. It’s fine."
...
On the 91st day, Ju Qingmeng completed her briefing smoothly and returned to Starfire Town.
As for Ren Zhong, he stayed at Liao Yuan Science College for the entire day.
Last night, he crazily breezed through the Level Six mining engineer-related tutorials.
He skimmed through the content and focused on memorizing some core formulas.
That afternoon, after completing the third experiment exam, his overall score barely passed.
In recent days, he spent most of his time on other matters, and the total time spent studying the expert-level tutorial might not have reached seven study days combined.
But that wasn’t important; what mattered was that he successfully passed.
Although Liao Yuan Science College was slightly disappointed with his just-passing performance, on second thought, considering that his study time was so short it was shocking, and most of it was self-study at home, they understood quite a bit.
He hadn’t given his all yet and still had a chance to be the top scorer.
If considering his study duration, he was actually still the top scorer, albeit not publicly acknowledged in discussions.
Ren Zhong also promised that this time he was just taking a surprise test to earn more citizen credit points.
He planned to retake the exam later, aiming for a perfect score.
The Science College immediately agreed and happily waived all his tuition fees.
They also negotiated to buy his portrait rights to use him in promotions.
Ren Zhong was pleased with the outcome.
He needed fame now, the more the better.
As the Level Six mining engineer certificate was finalized, Ren Zhong’s wrist watch beeped with a notification.
"Congratulations, Second Level Citizen Ren Zhong, you have been specially rewarded one million citizen credit points by the Purple Crystal Mining Group, and your credit points can now upgrade your citizen level to Third Level. Would you like to spend the points to upgrade?"
Ren Zhong smiled faintly.
Considering the Fourth Level mining certificate and the credit points earned from the combat assessment as well as the credits accumulated from ongoing taxes, he could finally upgrade.
Ren Zhong clicked "Upgrade" without hesitation.
There was no flash of yellow light.
No award ceremony or medal presentation either.
He only received two notifications simultaneously in his wrist watch.
First, he became a Third Level Citizen.
Second, his stock market ban was automatically lifted.
Ren Zhong called over a flying vehicle and headed straight to Alson Hotel.
He had been dormant for too long.
Starting tonight, he planned to make Source Star’s stock market feel pain!
Anyway, keeping a low profile was useless, earning too much would definitely cause restrictions.
He planned to earn a fortune hard before getting banned, earning excessively.
He just didn’t believe that the association could change the fundamental laws of the "sacred" inviolability of citizen private property just for one person.
As long as the money could safely enter his pocket, everything would be fine.
