CHAPTER 514: CHAPTER 195 YES, I WANT TO CHALLENGE THE BUTCHER, I’M ARROGANT

"What?"

"You better get on top of things soon! A mere resource recovery company of two small towns can’t be your limit! I’m asking you to become the richest person on Source Star! If you do that..."

Ren Zhong grinned, "Then there will be no shackles between you and me."

"Yes!"

"Additionally, I know a method to preserve the Crystal Chip long-term. It’s very costly, but I think it will be very useful for you. The same should apply to the Demon Infant’s chip."

Ren Zhong: "The Demon Infant isn’t a chip, it’s a Crystal Core."

"How do you know?"

Ren Zhong: "There’s nothing I want to know that I can’t find out."

"Stop pretending, listen to what I have to say."

...

Eleven at night, Qi Mountain’s wasteland tribe.

Ren Zhong met with "Ying" and Yujin there.

This time, there was someone of their own to take shifts, so Yujin didn’t have to stay up two nights in a row.

When Ren Zhong arrived, Yujin was already sleeping soundly by the box, with Tang Shuying guarding one side.

Upon meeting, Tang Shuying’s first words were: "Thank you."

Although she couldn’t use the wrist watch, Tang Shuying learned from others about Yang Bingzhong’s execution.

Ren Zhong smiled, "No need to thank me, Captain Tang, you’re too polite."

"Mr. Ren, you are different from Yang Bingzhong."

"Oh?"

"Yang Bingzhong would never tell a wasteland person ’no need to thank.’ You are a citizen, but you always keep such courtesies in your mouth."

Ren Zhong didn’t deny it, "People are different after all."

Tang Shuying: "Then what’s my next arrangement?"

"Because you’re involved with this box of goods, you can’t return to Starfire Town for a while. Just live here in the Qi Mountain wasteland tribe. I prepared an anonymous temporary wrist watch for you. It has a million points in it, just use it for now."

"Hmm. Uh... thanks."

Ren Zhong: "No need to thank."

The two exchanged a glance, and then burst into laughter.

Tang Shuying even laughed to the point of tears.

...

Back to lying on the sofa in Ju Qingmeng’s villa, Ren Zhong comfortably turned over.

The biggest advantage of time loops is that he doesn’t need to repeat what he has done before.

In the previous time loop, he spent the whole night learning about mining and chemical industries through the stock market.

After that, he put in a lot of effort studying first-person combat videos from various major streamers.

But this time, he spent the entire night on a new war armor design.

In the previous timeline, he spent two hundred million on an excessive saturation upgrade.

But later, when fighting against the Descending Demon Baby, Ren Zhong realized he was using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Under the premise of maxing out various auxiliary means, there was no need for such insanely expensive equipment to deal with the Demon Infant.

So, Ren Zhong adjusted his strategy again, planning to spend thirty million to magically modify a set that barely met the Fifth Level standard, focusing only on strengthening protection, to wipe out the Demon Infant in advance.

...

On the morning of the 71st day, the life-for-money car of Mengdu Group returned empty-handed again.

In the afternoon...

The rumors didn’t get the chance to spread.

Because Ren Zhong had already gone public during the morning’s swearing-in assembly.

"At noon today, I will lead you to eradicate the Descending Demon Baby. I will personally go to battle! I will show Starfire Town and the Census Officer my true strength! I will accept the Cold-blooded Butcher’s challenge!"

"All wasteland people participating in this hunting operation, according to your professional level, will receive at least three hundred points as a reward! You have a morning’s preparation time, polish your guns, paint your armor, and bring your bombs! Then follow me, and go slaughter the Descending Demon Baby."

Ren Zhong’s arrogant declaration spread worldwide through the internet instantly.

A Second Level Citizen and Fourth Level Mechanical Warrior, who grew up in a small town over the span of two months, openly declared that to protect his business map, he would take part in the combat assessment and accept the Cold-blooded Butcher’s challenge!

He even reversed the relationship, claiming it was the Butcher challenging him?

How outrageous, how inflated.

Crazy!

As the wasteland people of Starfire Town were bustling with preparations for the war, Ren Zhong, at the same time, received inquiries from three companies—Mengdu Group, Purple Crystal Mining, and Tanggu Group.

All within his expectations.

He had ways to deal with each.

He was a sole proprietorship, and under the laws of Source Star, his personal assets and life were protected by law.

Though Purple Crystal Mining and Mengdu Group were formidable, he could completely ignore them.

As for Tanggu Group, Ren Zhong took out his "New Town-Level Resource Recovery Company Management Guidelines" again.

Sure enough, Tanggu Group took the bait.

He calculated everyone’s feedback clearly and precisely.

Even if he mixed up the order, messed up the timing, and changed countless details, both the feedback from big figures and minor characters matched his pre-planning exactly.
