...
On the 91st day, Ren Zhong entered the continent-level laboratory in the Chenhui Mine.
Under the unusual gazes of many scientists in the lab, he put on a white coat and entered the laboratory.
Others found it quite speechless, but as he had spent a lot of money, they couldn’t say much either.
In this vast laboratory, Ren Zhong was mesmerized.
The continent-level regional laboratory was truly remarkable, with facilities that left him dazzled.
Only five minutes later, Ren Zhong was sure that he had come to the right place.
Soon, people in the continent-level lab realized they had underestimated Ren Zhong.
Then someone with keen intelligence ran to the Science College in Liao Yuan County to inquire, confirmed Ren Zhong’s "top scholar" identity, and immediately reported it upward.
The department head of the laboratory promptly decided to truly transfer Ren Zhong into the project group related to liquid metal, starting as an assistant.
The head even considerately asked Ren Zhong, the patron’s, opinion, worried he might feel he was being used as free labor, stating they just wanted to take a chance to cultivate him.
At the same time, this head, on behalf of the Purple Crystal Mining company, officially invited Ren Zhong to join them.
The incident even alarmed Yu Junren.
Ren Zhong didn’t explicitly refuse, nor did he agree immediately, only saying he would consider it.
Of course, he was delighted to be cultivated by them and expressed his gratitude.
...
On the 94th day, unlike the mental exhilaration of the previous few days, today Ren Zhong was slightly distracted.
Up until midnight at twelve o’clock, he still hadn’t received another message from Sun Miao.
Ren Zhong realized something had happened to Sun Miao.
The morning of the 95th day.
Ren Zhong was awakened early from his dormitory bed.
Someone informed him that the handling of the liquid metal was complete.
Ren Zhong mentally reviewed the bits and pieces of the past five days he had spent in the laboratory.
Hmm, quite fruitful.
He silently thought that he probably should die.
With an indescribable regret, he bid farewell to his many colleagues in the laboratory and left the Chenhui Mine.
The five days in the laboratory were the most enjoyable days since his rebirth, like returning to the long-cherished, yet unattainable past ivory tower.
The peaceful, busy, and fulfilling life of a researcher was so addictive that he almost forgot about returning home.
But in the end, he clarified the relationship between illusion and reality.
Life here was good, but now what he missed was still Starfire Town.
Unknowingly, he had tightly bound his life with the fate of the wastelanders.
