Chapter 82 I promised to paddle together, but I quietly took off
In the small laboratory, the workbench is filled with secondary armor exoskeleton parts.
Like the first-level exoskeleton, the second-level exoskeleton also has five major parts: head, body, hands, legs, and feet, but each part is slightly larger than the first-level exoskeleton.
After opening the cover, the structure inside is also more complicated.
There are more organic fibers in the inner lining to improve wearing comfort.
Ju Qingmeng was throwing himself in front of the workbench, tossing the parts inside with quick and skillful movements, and joked: "Ren Zhong, you are changing the equipment too fast. Originally, my small laboratory was almost abandoned, but... Because of you, I’m on the right track again.”
Ren Zhong chuckled, "Isn't it good? What you do is a craft, and you will easily get rusty if you don't practice for a long time."
Ju Qingmeng nodded, sat down in front of him, raised the back of his hand to wipe the sweat that had fallen from his forehead, accidentally leaving a black trace of engine oil.
At this time, she was only wearing a black tight-fitting vest on the upper body and relatively loose overalls on the lower body. The marks on her face combined with the long hair she had deliberately tied up for the convenience of work made her look very wild and beautiful.
Ren Zhong turned away silently and said, "By the way, it's all thanks to your hard work for my friends and their equipment just now."
Ju Qingmeng waved his hand, "It's okay. Their equipment needs are much simpler than yours. I just made a list of products for them and let them choose by themselves."
"That will still cause trouble for you."
"It's no trouble, it's all achievements."
"By the way, I haven't paid you the repair fee for my equipment yesterday."
"Let's go back to that together."
"Um."
Ju Qingmeng said regretfully: "It's a pity that the armor you put so much effort into tailoring for yourself has only been worn for a few days."
In fact, her subtext is that Ren Zhong’s last piece of first-level armor also had a lot of her hard work.
Ren Zhong smiled and said: "Doesn't this mean that I have improved quickly enough? And whether the value of the equipment is fully realized does not depend on the length of time, but on the battles it has participated in. If it were not for this equipment yesterday, I am afraid that Zheng Tian and I would have The people inside will also have to be killed in the Valley of Bones."
"Well, that's true. Then I won't regret it."
…
When Ren Zhong left the arms mall on his bicycle, he had already put on a light blue balanced secondary basic exoskeleton.
Since he only skimmed through the second chapter of "Sid Meier" last time and did not study it comprehensively, and his pocket was a little tight, he only asked Ju Qingmeng to complete five basic modifications for him that would definitely not go wrong.
1. The third-level scanner has higher accuracy and a wider scanning range. The upper limit of the estimated energy level index of the beast reaches 10,000 points.
2. The energy transmission system line is upgraded to provide a maximum output power of up to 450 kilowatts.
3. The important joints and transmission device materials have been upgraded to withstand 450 kilowatts of power that ordinary second-level exoskeletons cannot withstand. The minimum output power standard of a third-level mecha warrior is 300 kilowatts, which is already exceeded. This is the Sid Meier type. Routine operations of a warrior.
4. Enhanced version of the shoulder cannon, which can fire secondary thumb grenades.
5. The upgraded amplifier, customized, allows him to mobilize the output capacity of 450 kilowatts in advance with a carrying power of less than 100 kilowatts.
This whole set cost him a total of 2,800 points.
Including the 200 points he supplied to Ju Qingmeng for level one exoskeleton repairs, he spent a total of 3,000 points tonight.
If he hadn't made as much as 150 points from hunting during the day, seized the time to speculate in short-term stocks for the last time in the morning, and finished the 40% increase at 7 o'clock in the evening, returning 2205.63 points, he would hardly be able to afford the money.
Now he only has a pitiful 43.21 left in his pocket.
But it feels like it’s worth it.
Because the moment he put on the secondary exoskeleton, although he was mentally prepared, he immediately felt something different.
In particular, he was amazed by the auditory resonance function brought about by the upgraded chip in the helmet.
His sense of auditory alienation from the outside world disappeared.
In terms of reaction speed, his brain response delay to external changes was reduced by at least 10 milliseconds.
In a life-and-death situation, these 10 milliseconds can determine a lot.
In addition, his regular movement method is no longer limited to moving with his legs. When necessary, the secondary exoskeletons hidden on both sides of his waist have built-in thrust engines that can help him float slightly and accumulate altitude.
It takes up to twenty minutes, which is much better than the previous loading.
The suddenness, impact force, and speed of his short-range impact are all explosively improved.
Now he wields the heavy arc light chopper with all his strength. Apart from the cutting ability of the chopper, the single kinetic energy impact can reach more than 300 kilowatts, which is equivalent to more than 400 horsepower when converted to 21st century automobile horsepower.
In the 21st century, an ordinary heavy truck tractor only has 400 horsepower.
At present, his secondary exoskeleton has not yet been completely replaced, but its overall strength is already different from what it was during the day.
As for the previous first-level exoskeleton, he simply put it in the arms mall and put it on consignment with a price tag of 1,500 points.
If it can be sold, he will earn 500 points in tears after deducting the cost.
In fact, there are a lot of materials in it that Ju Qingmeng paid for from his own pocket, as well as money from Ju Qingmeng’s craftsmanship, all of which were given to Ren Zhong for free.
He was still embarrassed and wanted to give Ju Qingmeng some money, but Ju Qingmeng, who was very wealthy, showed him the balance in his account.
Hey! Little rich woman!
He is worthy of being a second-class citizen and worthy of being a "frontier official" who controls an arms mall in a single town.
Even though she is down and out, she still has five-digit contribution points in her account, more than 10,000.
The purpose of Ju Qingmeng showing this to Ren Zhong was not to show off his wealth, but to not want him to get entangled in these details.
She just hopes that Ren Zhong will grow up quickly.
If it weren't for Ren Zhong's high earning potential and unwillingness to speak up, she would even want to actively sponsor her, unlike some stingy doctors who wish to remain anonymous.
But Ren Zhong is not jealous of her, because by tomorrow morning, he will be richer than Ju Qingmeng.
Raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while.
Having mastered the core technology of Jiangxiang, Liancheng Weiliang Winery, the leading demon stock king in the past month, will close on time at 9:15 tomorrow morning.
A 20,000 yuan household in a deserted man is about to be born!
In the last resurrection, at this point in time, Ren Zhong was wearing Pei Lihui's level 4 wristwatch and fighting fiercely in the virtual reality. After another hour, he would reach the end of his life.
But this time he was resurrected, Ren Zhong changed into the outfit of a second-level warrior and was about to become a householder of 20,000 yuan.
Every time, he felt that his steps on the earth were more solid.
Concentrated sleeping cabin, 8:59 pm.
Chen Hanyu was about to activate the hypnotic function of the rental watch when she saw Ren Zhong walking in quickly from outside the room.
She put down her watch and sat up straight, looking at Ren Zhong with doubtful eyes.
Ren Zhong didn't say much, he just nodded slightly at her, then lay down directly, turned on the hypnosis function of his watch, and fell asleep.
Chen Hanyu understood.
Tomorrow morning everything will be as usual, except that Mr. Ren finally stopped going out hunting by himself tonight.
He does know how to balance work and rest.
very nice.
…
At five o'clock in the morning the next day, Ren Zhong opened his eyes and felt refreshed.
Starting from today, I am also a serious second-level professional who has passed the professional title certification, and I can receive a salary of 2 points every day.
Last night he deliberately went back to sleep and even turned on hypnosis. Of course, it was not because his liver was restless and he wanted to paddle.
He has other plans.
Although he asked others not to take the second-level professional title assessment, it was because others were not absolutely sure. If they wanted to increase the success rate, they would have to purchase some special potions. Such actions could easily be detected.
There is only one second-level professional in Zheng Tian's team, but Lin Wang can still bear it now.
But if all members are upgraded, that's not guaranteed.
Ren Zhong’s situation is different.
Anyway, Lin Wang has seen through it, and if he hides his clumsiness too much, he will be suspected, so it is better to just let nature take its course.
So, he paid the 40-point registration fee and entered the virtual reality environment built for professional title assessment.
The quality of this virtual reality was worse than what he experienced with Bei Lihui's watch, but it could basically test his abilities.
I spent several hours beating the second-level beasts inside without any hesitation, and finally passed the professional title evaluation with full marks.
"Mr. Ren, let's go."
Chen Hanyu shook Ren Zhong's shoulders.
Ren nodded, "Yeah."
The two walked downstairs side by side under the lights.
Although the strange night watchman had doubts in his heart, he didn't come up to ask any more questions.
When the two arrived at the parking lot, Yu Jin was already waiting next to the Ben Lei car.
"Didn't I let you arrive at five past five? Why did you come early?"
"I don't want you to wait for me, sir."
"Forget it, tomorrow morning you remember to be downstairs in the sleeping cabin No. 13 at 5:03. You take Chen Hanyu with you to the outside of the town."
"OK."
Ren Zhong introduced Yu Jin to Chen Hanyu again.
The three of them got into the Ben Lei car, with Chen Hanyu in the passenger seat and Yu Jin in the back seat, and set off straight away.
Chen Hanyu raised her neck and looked around in the back row, not to look at Yu Jin, but to look for the box.
"Mr. Ren, this time you...you didn't prepare any restraint weapons?"
Ren Zhong shook his head and patted his shoulder, "Didn't you notice? Look at the armor on my body."
Chen Hanyu understood.
This time he was going to do it hard.
You just changed to level 2 equipment, brother!
But she soon calmed down again.
If you think about it carefully, when this guy was wearing first-level equipment, he would also pick up a knife and chop down second-level beasts from time to time.
Now that he is level 2, it seems "common" to cut him to level 3.
Anyway, Mr. Ren never fights an unprepared battle.
…
At six o'clock in the morning, the Thunder Car drove back to the town with the corpses of two level three beasts.
Chen Hanyu and Yu Jin were speechless the whole time.
Both of them felt a little dizzy.
Could it still be like this?
how did you do that?
Ren Zhong ignored the shock of the two, and instead said with regret on his face, "It feels wrong. I haven't fully utilized the potential of my armor. I'm afraid... I have to let that old guy make another profit from me."
"Who?" Chen Hanyu asked.
Ren Zhong rolled his eyes, "A genuine and honest old profiteer, Sid Meier."
"Well."
Chen Hanyu was shocked.
Judging from his tone, he seemed to be very familiar with the legendary warrior.
It turns out that Mr. Ren’s connections are not only in Spark Town!
Ren Zhong said again: "Yu Jin, you did a pretty good job today. If it weren't for your good marksmanship and good timing, and you only attracted one White Stone Ape, maybe we would have to flee immediately, and we would only be able to get one threesome today." A level beast."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Ren, but it still all depends on you. I actually didn't do anything."
"Don't be modest. I'll try to find a way to get you a better gun another day."
Ren Zhong thought of Pei Lihui's Manticore-191.
It was indeed a good gun. If you hit it on your body, you would barely feel any pain and you would die.
"No need, Mr. Ren, I will save it myself."
"Let's talk about it, let's talk about it."
…
After seven o'clock, Ren Zhong was selling goods at Xinghuo Resources when he received a call from Ju Qingmeng's watch.
"Good news, your armor has been bought at the original price. I have transferred the money directly to your watch through the mall's consignment system, so you don't have to pay the transfer fee."
"Who bought it?"
"A fat businessman from another town with a mustache and his surname is Wang."
The burden of responsibility suddenly dawned.
The profiteer Wang Zhaofu fell into the trap this time.
He smiled and said: "This is reasonable. No deserter in Spark Town can afford this armor. But wandering businessmen can always find some big customers when they travel all over the country."
Almost at the same time, the acquisition funds from Spark Resources also arrived.
Ren Zhong glanced at his watch and immediately smiled, "Yo!"
