CHAPTER 518: CHAPTER 196: UNLEASHING TALENT, TIME THIEF_4

Ren Zhong recited the lines he had prepared long in advance.

As for what Xiao Xingyue said about "just an interview, not a review," he didn’t believe it at all.

He just saw through it and chose not to expose it.

...

"So, Mr. Ren, you had prepared a large number of redundant plans in advance and merely issued orders to the desolate group based on the situation?"

Ren Zhong nodded, "Of course. I am not exactly aware of what special traits the Ruined Beast known as Demon Infant possesses, but I comprehensively analyzed past information... and planned out these hundreds of contingency plans. This is the strategy I have developed. Look..."

A moment later, Xiao Xingyue marveled, "Mr. Ren, your analysis indeed makes sense."

Ren Zhong smiled faintly, "It’s just that I enjoy thinking; it’s no big deal."

He was very adept at backtracing the process from the result and then providing reasonable motivations for his actions.

He practiced this in the stock market, and applying it to combat strategies followed the same logic.

Ren Zhong took out another item, "In short, I suspected that its crystal chip might contain a structure similar to a secondary brain chip, so I hired a hacker in advance to create this redundant information bomb, and I designed the interface to be transformable. This is the extra replica I prepared; you can take a look."

Xiao Xingyue asked, "Can I publish this information in the exclusive interview?"

"Of course. But... the copyright fee..."

"You can get a 10% share of the advertising copyright."

"Great! Thank you!"

Seeing Xiao Xingyue off, Ren Zhong received more good news from Shi Xuan and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

On the morning of the 72nd day, Ren Zhong appeared at the Alson Hotel located in the Liao Yuan County City Center District.

He would spend at least fifteen days here.

Ren Zhong further adjusted his decision-making approach from last time.

He thought he had been too conservative.

With the Second Level Citizen status and the cover of the Demon Infant Corpse, he could directly learn about the mining industry without hiding it.

As long as he didn’t recklessly touch information related to Alien Ore, he could ponder it in his mind.

Perhaps others would think he was a bit crazy, wondering why he didn’t just hire someone instead of studying himself.

But someone who would challenge a Level Six industry while at the Fourth Level for the sake of a small town’s twenty-thousand population might have a bit of self-confidence, wanting to learn everything himself, and that’s understandable.

His new persona now is that of an inflated maniac.

Such a person usually has two endings.

Either reaching the pinnacle or dying abruptly.

Many in Yangsheng City have already noticed this emerging tiger next to their bed and share this view.

In a curious situation, Ren Zhong joined the advanced training program at Liao Yuan Science College.

While Liao Yuan Science College might not be as renowned on Source Star as Liao Yuan Mecha College, being located in Liao Yuan County, a stronghold of education, its reputation in Yangsheng City is noteworthy, surpassing the level of Chongyi Vocational High School where Ju Qingmeng studied.

Wandering alone on campus, looking at the blue treetops around him and the glistening lake within the school grounds, the casually dressed Ren Zhong couldn’t help but feel a sense of being in a completely different life.

He had achieved his original dream of restarting his academic journey, but there was no sense of fulfillment or relief in his heart.

"Mr. Ren, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

His campus guide hurriedly approached.

This was a beautiful woman dressed in a long dress.

Her role was to be Ren Zhong’s full-time assistant at the Science College.

She was the ace among academic assistants in Liao Yuan County.

Also, she was a Second Level Citizen.

As someone who spent four hundred thousand points, twice the usual amount, to get into the advanced metallurgy training program, Ren Zhong deserved a top-notch assistant.

From now on, he needed to be more serious in stealing things from within time.

He had considered looking into Alien Ore at the last moment of his battle with the Cold-blooded Butcher but did not have time.

This time, he still wanted to make up for that regret.
