Resurrection Empire

In the evening of the 70th day, the reception room on the second floor of the town mansion.

Ren Zhong sat at Ma Dafu's tea table.

Lao Ma is handling matters in the office hall outside.

Ma Xiaoling sat with her legs crossed at another table nearby, eating melon seeds and frowning at the tablet.

The back of the tablet was facing Ren Zhong's tea table. Ren Zhong couldn't see the content on the computer monitor, but from Ma Xiaoling's frown and the green reflection on her face, it was clear that she was probably reading stocks.

A few days ago, Ren Stock God started advanced teaching and asked her to accumulate experience on her own first.

He didn't ask recently, he didn't even know what was going on with this high-ranking disciple, so don't lose all your dowry.

"How's the situation? Did it fall hard?"

Ren Zhong asked.

Ma Xiaoling let out a long breath, "Yes! The checks I chose are all falling. The wave of Xingkong Shipbuilding a few days ago was too harsh, and the panic in the market continues."

Hearing what she said was so miserable, Ren Zhong wanted to pay back the money.

If I remember correctly, I still owe her 400,000.

"Otherwise..."

Ma Xiaoling: "But it's okay. I'm learning to sell short now and make money."

Ren Zhong: "Oh."

"What did you want to say just now?"

"It's nothing. There have been more and more people with weapons in the town in the past two days. There have been no armed fights on the streets, right?"

Ma Xiaoling shook his head, "No, they are all making money steadily."

After saying that, she stared at the screen eagerly again, wandering around without saying a word, apparently trying to predict the direction of the stock market using the non-existent "Ren's Meditation Method".

At this time, Ma Dafu walked in from the door of the reception room, wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down and boiled a pot of Kung Fu tea, and then said with a smile: "If you could have come two or three years earlier, then Xinghuo Town would not have fallen. It’s come to this. Sigh.”

Obviously, the changes that took place in Spark Town in just a few days shocked Madafu as the mayor.

Lao Ma's mood was very complicated.

The better he does his job, the more incompetent he feels. It seems that I only have kindness and nothing else.

Ren Zhong smiled, "There are so many ifs."

Ma Dafu nodded: "That's true. Many people came to cancel registration today. It should be the last batch. I'm afraid the Mengdu Group's sampling truck will return empty-handed tomorrow."

"Oh?" Ren Zhong's eyes lit up. "That's a good thing."

Ma Dafu: "In the normal census in previous years, if the overall performance was good, with higher scores in terms of population reproduction trend, fertility rate, average IQ of the population, mental outlook, material output, etc., the temporary desertion quota in the town would even be It will not be reduced, but can be increased. Since you rebuilt the new Spark resources and popularized various new policies, the efficiency of the scavengers in hunting ruin beasts has increased day by day, and it will become faster and faster in the future. And there will also be more and more When people become scavengers, everything is getting better. As long as there is hope of living, no one wants to die."

Ren Zhong: "Yes, so I am also urgently adding new production lines and recycling platforms, and I can't keep up with the demand."

"Everyone can feel the changes. There are still 20 days until the census, but the waste pickers have already shouted a new slogan."

"What slogan? Why don't I know?"

"I noticed it from the mouth analysis on the central monitoring side. The scavengers discussed using 20 days to complete the production capacity of the past 60 days, and increase the average output of Spark Town this year by at least 10% compared to previous years. There are still some waste people here. After discussion, we must seize the time to let each woman get pregnant as soon as possible. The proportion of pregnant women represents the population reproduction trend. Just these two items can add a lot of points to the census. Also take into account the changes in mental outlook , some people even hope that after we pass the census, the quota will be increased by 4,000 people, reaching 24,000 on the current basis."

Ren Zhong: "..."

"If it were a normal census, the birth of a fifth-level professional would be a floating standard in the professional development evaluation index, and it could be mentioned or not mentioned. Then the people's calculations are reasonable. But usually this should be considered by the town government. The desolate people usually don't think so much. But this time, the desolate people were also ignited with enthusiasm. Alas, but this census is different. The desolate people in Xinghuo Town have indeed not had a fifth-level professional for many years, so the county government follows It is reasonable and within the scope of the rules to increase the requirements of the rules and regulations. However, I believe that with people like you around, the desert people can live a good life even if they leave the town and go to the wild. You should have made plans early."

Ren Zhong looked careless and said, "It's all within the plan, don't worry."

"There's no rush. Let's just talk about the Mengdu Group. I've already received rumors that someone in the Liaoyuan Branch of the Mengdu Group has noticed the changes in the town and plans to let people gradually spread the truth about the census in the town. Create panic while proposing a one-to-one plan.”

"What does one to one mean?"

"That is to make a public commitment. For each person who voluntarily becomes a volunteer of the Mengdu Group, another person can be designated to live in a satellite town in the headquarters city of the Mengdu Group."

Ren Zhong was silent for a moment: "Very vicious."

"Yes. If the desolate people are forcibly converted into commodities through voting, nearly half of them will inevitably die due to panic riots, and the Mengdu Group will only be able to get nearly half of the so-called volunteers. If the weapons in the hands of the desolate people become If there are too many, the intensity of the final resistance will be out of control, and maybe half of the survivors will not be obtained. In the case of a bleak census prospect, this vicious method of boiling frogs in warm water is more effective, and at least thousands of people will be fooled. As for the other It remains to be seen where the deserted people who gathered together to take the airship to the so-called new town will be taken to."

Ren nodded.

If the citizens sincerely do not regard the desert people as the same kind, then the promises made by the citizens to the desert people are basically equivalent to farts, just like people saying to the pigs in the pig farm, "You are delicious, go on and grow taller, I will not kill you." ,A meaning.

Ren Zhong sighed again, "What should we do?"

"If the sampling truck returns empty-handed tomorrow, this matter will change from a possibility to a necessity. But..."

"but what?"

"But all the desolate people who have been registered before have indeed been cancelled. I can't force people to die to collect others."

Ren Zhong was silent for a long time, "Let's take it one step at a time."

Ma Dafu: "There is another thing. Ma Xiaoling, please go outside first."

Ma Xiaoling, who was looking at the stock market, left shouting.

Then, Ma Dafu took out a black sleeve from his pocket and handed it to Ren Zhong. He also took out one and put it on his watch, and tied it tightly.

Ren Zhongxin understands and learns from others.

"Since last night, I have been unable to check your threat index and rebellion index at all."

Madafu said in a serious tone.

Hearing this, Ren Zhong had expected it, "I understand. I'm too good to Huang Ren. Obviously, monitoring citizens is beyond your authority as mayor. But don't worry, I'm a good businessman. I know how to measure it well."

"That's fine. You take this thing."

"What material is it made of? How much does it cost?"

"I asked my daughter to hunt for beasts and made my own. The material is the skin of the velvet pangolin in the abandoned mine, which can effectively absorb external sounds."

Ren nodded to show understanding.

…

On the morning of the 71st day, the Mengdu Group’s life-saving car indeed returned empty-handed.

Around afternoon, a mysterious message spread irreversibly among the desert people.

"Due to Mada Fu's incompetence, Spark Town has gone from bad to worse. No level 5 professional has been born among the deserters in more than ten years. The association has decided to rank the professional development index as the highest weight in this census. If no one can represent Spark Town Stand up and pass the combat effectiveness assessment, and banning them is imperative."

This is a message that affects everyone's life and death, and no one can stop its spread.

In just one afternoon, this piece of information spread to the ears of almost all the people in Starfire Town.

In addition to this basic information, there is another piece of information, which points directly to the arduous task of breaking away from the barren class and becoming a second-level citizen in just two months.

…

"Ren Zhong has become a fourth-level professional, and he is very powerful."

"Ren Zhong completely annexed all of Yang Bingzhong's property, and Yang Bingzhong's property was made of the flesh and blood of the people of Xinghuo Town."

"Although Ren Zhong is already a citizen, he still has the responsibility to participate in the combat prowess assessment in the census on behalf of the people of Xinghuo Desolate."

In the office, Wang Zhaofu worriedly read the information collected by the above-mentioned informants, and cursed, "Damn, it's too disgusting. Amethyst Mining and Mengdu Group are nine major companies, how can they play such a vicious trick? Just one person It’s just Xinghuo Town, what’s the matter? Isn’t this a loss of status?”

Ren Zhong was calm and said with a smile: "Nine major groups belong to the nine major groups, but those who do these things must be just some small fish in the branch. They have studied me very deeply. Not only do they know that I am already a fourth-level professional , even my character has been studied, and moral kidnapping has been dealt with. It’s interesting.”

Ren Zhong knew who "betrayed" him, it must be Ma Shu.

Among the people outside, only Ma Shu, who failed to send desperadoes to assassinate him, could estimate his true combat power.

Ma Shu is also an interesting person.

Wang Zhaofu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about him. Anyway, brother Ren, you are not short of money. When the time comes, let's just pat our butts and leave. No one can say anything."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "There's no rush."

He was thinking of a solution.

Based on his previous temperament, the other party's calculation would just meet his needs.

He will definitely stand up and make a public statement, yes, I just want to participate in the census, and I will fight for you without any regrets. Although I am a wealthy businessman, I will live and die with you.

But now, he is full of worries and really can't express his position.

Never would I have imagined that in the evening, the change would happen again.

The deserters who went out to hunt today had a fierce fight with each other. About a hundred people died at the hands of other deserters.

These desolate men who had killed people outside again stiffened their necks, held their heads high and took the initiative to surrender at the guard station.

The death toll was too high and the scale of the fight was too large. Ma Xiaoling could not turn a blind eye, so he simply escorted all these people to a small square at the junction of the slum and the white wall for public trial.

When Ren Zhong arrived, one of the leaders was loudly stating his "criminal motive."

"What happened in Xinghuo Town has something to do with Mayor Ma. He failed to stop Yang Bingzhong, and that's his fault. But the culprit is Yang Bingzhong, not Mayor Ma. These words circulating outside are trying to fool us into thinking we are fools. !”

"right!"

Another deserter who was also being held in custody was in charge of cheering.

The man with a smart mind and good language organization ability said again: "Also, Mr. Ren took over Yang Bingzhong's property. That was Mr. Ren's skill. We all know who Mr. Ren is. He is very interested in Mr. Ren." We are fine, we feel it clearly. Mr. Ren has done everything he can, and he is working hard to help us survive."

The man took a deep breath again: "He is a noble citizen. There is no reason for him to participate in a life-or-death combat assessment for us! These rumors are all conspiracy, and someone wants to assassinate Mr. Ren! These people we killed were just using They are traitors who want to get dirty money from outside and spread rumors everywhere to avenge Yang Bingzhong, a scumbag! I just want to kill them! Execute me!"

"right!"

"That's right!"

It's impossible for everyone to really think what the man on the stage said.

Many people are just making fun of it meaninglessly.

But what can the barren people do?

No one thinks that anyone can really support a dignified second-class citizen and go to the census to fight for a group of unrelated people.

To put it this way, it is nothing more than allowing myself to live more calmly in the few stable days left.

Maybe Mr. Ren knew about it, so he would give something to his family as a reward when he was happy?

Ren Zhong listened to this man's words from a distance, but his mood was a little complicated.

That person probably hadn't read any books, his speech was somewhat confusing and logical, his words and sentences were quite childish, and his outlook on things was not correct enough, but Ren Zhong could tell what he was talking about.

If you treat us well, we will live up to you.

Even if this good is just the most basic kindness and only slightly reduces the intensity of slavery, good is good.

What the barren people want is too little.

The standards they meet are too low.

Over there, the man's "speech" continues.

"It doesn't matter if you can't pass this census. If you can't pass, you can't pass. Aren't towns on the Origin Star being banned every year anyway? It's our turn, and we accept it. But at least we can make a little more money with Mr. Ren now. If I live outside in the future, I still have a chance to live. I'm afraid of a ball!"

The rumor did not mention the referendum that turned desolate people into commodities.

Obviously, the Mengdu Group does not want to completely ignite the panic to the point of getting out of control. That will only benefit the Hunters in vain, and the number of samples they can obtain will drop sharply.

Below, the crowd of onlookers was slightly ignited.

Some of the dark men lurking among the deserters looked at each other.

They just received orders and took advantage of doing things, without knowing the direction of things.

But obviously, this is certainly not the situation the people above want to see.

These people are already planning for life after leaving town.

Aren’t they all the prey of predators?

It's only been a day, and I haven't even had time to come up with the "one-to-one" plan, so why is it still aborted?

Things have gone wrong. Can the promises made by the big shots still be fulfilled?

Ma Xiaoling has obviously rarely dealt with such emotional situations.

At this time, Ren Zhong finally stood on the stage.

As he appeared, all the people's eyes couldn't help but focus on him.

He had a kind smile on his face.

He said slowly: "The census is indeed not optimistic. But so far, I have no intention of giving up Spark Town. This is the place where I made my fortune, and you are my first batch of non-staff employees. I will work on the Source Star for a long time. This is a big business, I want to make the most money and become the richest businessman, and you are an important part of my future business map."

"So, I will find a way to get the census done, just by spending more money. I have money. All I ask of you is to work hard and redouble your efforts. The more money you let me make, the more potential value I will show. The older you are, the more I will pay attention to you."

"Hahahaha, if it's really necessary. I'll spend billions to strengthen the equipment to the extreme, so I can fight for you."

Ren Zhong smiled.

Mengdu Group and Amethyst Mining can lie to Huangren.

Of course he can "lie" even if he has a heavy responsibility.

He carefully coordinated his lines and tone, and used a mocking attitude to give a plausible so-called promise.

After he finished speaking, there was silence at first and then boiling.

Some people believed him, while others thought he was talking nonsense. They subconsciously wanted to ridicule him and ridicule him for being as despicable as Yang Bingzhong, but they couldn't because they did buy half-price arms at the arms mall every day.

Ren Zhong "enjoyed" Huang Ren's worship on the stage, while waiting slightly uneasily for two minutes. The hunter did not come, and no warning was received in his watch.

Great, successful.

He acted too much like a proper citizen and a cold-blooded liar and profiteer.

There is no doubt that in the "net's" judgment, he was lying to the barren people just to draw more blood before the census was over.

Or maybe he wanted to prove a new high-efficiency management model to Tanggu Group.

But he certainly won't really represent the deserted people in the war.

Only those who know him well can understand his true intentions.

Ma Xiaoling opened her mouth and looked at Ren Zhong in astonishment.

She didn't come back to her senses until she was dragged away by Ren Zhong in a daze.

"You can't be serious, can you?"

Ma Xiaoling asked directly.

Ren Zhong asked, "What are you thinking about? Do you know how much hunting profits are made in Xinghuo Town these days?"

"ah?"

"On average every day, the wilderness people bring me nearly 400,000 in hunting harvest, which is 1.5 times what it was when Yang Bingzhong was in charge! This has just begun. Within next week at the latest, this number will double or even triple! Here It's just Spark Town. As long as I mature the new model here and then go to Chromium Carbon Town to promote it, I only need to pay a small price to ignite the enthusiasm of the barren people. The barren people of Chromium Carbon Town I can get two million worth of hunting results every day! My profit rate is 100%, and my annual net profit can reach six to seven billion!"

Ma Xiaoling was stunned for a long time, "Are you doing a business experiment?"

"you guess."

"I guess you are tall! By the way, the matter is not finished yet, I have to go back..."

"No, it's been dealt with. Acquitted."

"Well."

Ren Zhong knew that his threat index and rebellion index had definitely dropped.

But he also wanted to say something to the desert people.

Today, I will live up to you.

In the future, I hope you will not let me down.
