At this moment, Ren Zhong had already established absolute confidence in the battle for tomorrow.
Ren Zhong bent down and effortlessly lifted the motionless Xiao Ling, placing her in the passenger seat.
Teacher Ma remained silent throughout, leaving one to wonder what was on her mind.
After a long pause, Ma Xiaoling suddenly sighed deeply in full melancholy, "Oh!"
Ren Zhong heard this and thought to himself if he had shown off too much and knocked her confidence.
After all, Ma Xiaoling had been a genius in the spotlight all her life, never having suffered such a setback in combat ability.
He said, "Don’t lose heart, you have no idea how much I spent on this armor. It’s not that your strength is inferior, it’s just that you don’t have as much money as I do."
Ma Xiaoling shook her head, "It’s not that I’m unwilling to concede to you. I was just thinking, since you don’t need me to teach you combat skills anymore, do I then not have a reason to learn stocks from you? I’ve got a lot of insights recently that I haven’t asked you about."
Ren Zhong: "Uh..."
After a long pause, he said quietly, "These are all trivial matters. We are friends; if you want to keep learning stocks, how could I not teach you?"
Ma Xiaoling became happy again, "Then it’s settled! Sooner or later, I’ll make as much money as you do!"
Ren Zhong: "And then get equipment like mine to wash away the shame?"
Ma Xiaoling shook her head, "No, I want to dominate ’Wilderness Era’! Establish the strongest kingdom! Make no one dare to challenge my guild!"
Ren Zhong rolled his eyes.
He gave in.
The happiness of simple-minded people always comes so easily.
Truly enviable.
...
The 90th day, eleven in the morning.
In the basement of the Armored Laboratory, Ren Zhong got up early and looked at the neatly arranged exoskeleton components on the wall, while subconsciously recalling the wonderful resonance he felt between himself and the equipment while sparring with Ma Xiaoling last night.
It seemed no longer a dead object, but truly possessed its own life.
On the small bed beside him, Ju Qingmeng was still deeply asleep.
Wen Lei slept in the regular workshop upstairs.
Last night, after returning, based on his insights, he suggested that several key components needed upgrades.
Time was too tight, so Ju Qingmeng and Wen Lei, who were waiting up, simply stayed up late with him for most of the night.
After much busy work, the three of them worked together until four in the morning.
Now the advancement completion of the war armor reached 60%, with further improvement.
Ren Zhong could naturally wake up after only seven hours of sleep, but the other two had to sleep for eight hours.
Ren Zhong opened his newly exchanged seven-level wristwatch worth five million points and checked the emails, grinning.
It’s here.
He first clicked to receive the file, and after five seconds, a huge file package with a total data volume of over 100T was loaded into the wristwatch.
Then, Ren Zhong took out a superconductive data line, connected the wristwatch to the intelligence brain inside the armor helmet, and clicked to load.
The wristwatch projected a loading progress bar.
The progress bar advanced at a rate of 2% per minute.
Calculating the time, it should be just completed by eleven fifty-five.
This file package was sent by Ren Zhong on the 85th day, where he sent all his combat training records in the hibernation space to a professional team composed of hackers, Information Flow Shield Masters, War Artists, and another citizen profession "Actuarial Programmer", which is the actuary.
This team, after five days of work, finally integrated Ren Zhong’s personal combat style and created a brand new, unique custom combat command system for him.
This system streamlined a large amount of useless redundant algorithms, significantly enhancing the response speed of the war armor’s intelligence brain.
Ren Zhong spent fifty million Contribution Points on this.
The hackers and Information Flow Shield Masters were introduced by Shi Xuan.
As for the War Artists and actuaries, they were Wang Zhaofu’s connections.
Only when you become a wealthy citizen can you experience the feeling of making the impossible happen with money.
Ren Zhong now understood this feeling.
He donned the armor and initiated parameter self-check.
Compared to yesterday, all parameters showed obvious changes.
This was the evolutionary metal’s passive transformation initiated after experiencing Ma Xiaoling’s Fifth Level peak power, matching the strength level required for wearing the equipment.
The new retrofit components also received coordination influence from other parts and were evolving in synchrony.
If his combat strength improvement had to be quantified, then over the night, considering the combat command system’s efficacy, the increase was about 20%.
...
In the afternoon, under the eye of the public, the arrogant Cold-blooded Butcher...
