Resurrection Empire

Twenty minutes later, Ren Zhong and Zheng Tian left side by side and hurried to the centralized sleeping cabin.

Halfway through the journey, Zheng Tian was filled with doubts and hesitated several times.

But Ren Zhong acted very aloof all the way, looking preoccupied and unwilling to chat.

Zheng Tian couldn't ask after all.

It's a big expense tonight.

The talent test costs 5 contribution points. I don’t need to take another test next time. This money can be saved.

Well, if there is a next time.

Ren Zhong then bought a complete set of simple training exoskeletons, priced at 20 contribution points.

This thing doesn't look like an exoskeleton at all. It consists of five parts: a tactical vest, camouflage trousers, a sun hat, gloves and shoes. The whole body is composed of organic fibers and circuits hidden in the interlayer of woven fabrics. It almost feels like wearing it on the body. It has no impact protection and no combat effectiveness bonus.

However, the importance of training attire goes without saying.

This is the stepping stone for every newbie to enter the field of mecha warriors.

It has two major functions.

First, people whose understanding of mecha warriors is completely superficial can use training equipment to experience the feeling of controlling a real combat-type exoskeleton.

Second, through conservative low-intensity stimulation, microcurrents are allowed to continuously flow along the human body's neural network, just like raging river water widening the river channel, gradually increasing the human body's bioelectrical carrying power value.

If one day Ren Zhong's body can run to the maximum output of the training equipment, it means that he can put on real combat equipment.

In addition, Ren Zhong also purchased five compression batteries to go with the training exoskeleton. Each piece sells for 2 contribution points, totaling 10 points.

These three expenses cost a total of 35 contribution points, which is a huge amount of money if other members of Zheng Tian's team earn more than a month's income.

But these expenses are reasonable and necessary.

But Zheng Tian couldn't figure out why he bought the other thing.

Magnetic storm dust grenade: a third-level special bomb that can scatter nano-scale NdFeB strong magnetic powder when it explodes. It covers an area of ​​30 meters, has a total powder mass of 3kg, and has a floating time of 30 seconds. The price is 50 contribution points.

This thing is a three-level one-time consumption equipment, it can be used in few places, and it is very expensive.

Ou Youning, a professional bomb player in the team, could only buy two bombs if he added up all his belongings.

But Ou Youning would never buy this thing in his life, he was almost crazy.

In short, thanks to the heavy-handed prodigal, he spent a total of 85 contribution points in the arms mall tonight, and the deduction made Zheng Tian next to him watch with horror.

After returning to the sleeping cabin, everyone settled down, and Ren Zhong finally lay down, feeling a little relieved.

If Zheng Tian had just asked him why he wanted to buy a grenade, he really wouldn't be able to answer.

His harvest today was not bad and he was basically satisfied.

The only regret is that after all these purchases, he only has 17.52 contribution points left in his pocket. He cannot afford a level one basic exoskeleton of the same level as Wen Lei, so he can only think about it later when he saves enough money.

The balanced first-level basic exoskeleton has a total of five base parts, including corresponding equipment for the head, body, hands, legs, feet, etc. The total price is 150 contribution points, and each part requires an average of 30 points.

Ren Zhong is not in a hurry now, since he doesn't dare to wear it even if he buys it.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Ren Zhong "fell asleep" on time.

This night, he still had a fulfilling life.

If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools, so he spent all his time learning the basics of mecha warriors.

He comprehensively studied the instructions for using the training equipment, and then initially understood the four major parameters related to the promotion of mecha warriors, namely brain-machine synchronization rate, bioelectricity carrying power value, brain response index and comprehensive physical fitness index.

The brain response index and the comprehensive physical fitness index are related to actual combat ability. It's almost okay, at least I can wear equipment.

Ren Zhong’s brain-computer synchronization rate has reached the standard.

What he needs to improve most at the moment is the second parameter, the bioelectricity carrying power value.

The specific algorithm of the carrying power value is very complicated, but the external representation can be simply summarized as, with this carrying power value, the mecha warrior can control the maximum power output of the armor.

For example, if Wen Lei is now a senior first-level warrior, his armor's maximum output power must exceed 10 kilowatts.

As for the heavy responsibility, the current number is only 1 kilowatt at most, and training armor is needed to increase it.

When his number exceeds 10 kilowatts, he can wear first-level equipment, and he can barely be regarded as a quasi-first-level warrior who has not passed the professional title assessment.

The next morning, everything was a repeat of the past, with only slight differences.

After waking up from his sleep, Ren Zhong immediately checked the balance in his watch.

Great, it went up a full point and is now 18.52.

As expected, formal watches do not have to pay the insane 90% tax. From now on, Ren Zhong will be a business owner who can make a fortune while lying down.

Ren Zhong was invited by Zheng Tian "again" and became a temporary member of the team.

Then the six of them went to the cafeteria to eat, and then to the parking lot.

Compared with last time, Zheng Tian seemed to be in a much better mood. She walked briskly and led the entire team to walk faster.

In order to prevent the time from being disrupted, Ren Zhong had to control his own pace and stride length throughout the entire process, forcing the other five people to slow down and sway to his own rhythm, holding on to time.

Arriving at the parking lot, I saw another professional team loading cups, made a brief complaint, and set off.

…

Through micro-control that is not easily noticed by others, Ren Zhong controlled the departure time to only 0.5 seconds difference from the last time, which is acceptable.

The same destination, the same route, the same seating arrangement, and the same close contact with Chen Hanyu.

The only change was that Ren Zhong wore training armor and turned on low-power bioelectric stimulation throughout the entire process. His whole body was numb and he barely felt the elasticity of Chen Hanyu's body.

He had kept this thing on since he put it on last night and never turned it off.

On the way, Zheng Tian still carefully explained to Ren Zhong the occupations and specialties of the team members, and only said that after today's hunting is over, Ren Zhong can learn more from Wen Lei.

Although Wen Lei became the butt of jokes among Ju Qingmeng, his basic skills were solid and his level was still very good.

…

Zheng Tian: "Mr. Ren, this is your gun. You will..."

Ren Zhong: "Okay."

He held the machine gun again, but Ren Zhong didn't feel the same emotion as last time.

In front of the Blade Beetle, this thing is at best a large water gun that sprinkles water to scare people.

…

The suspended truck arrived at the Iron Worm Forest without incident.

The first encounter, the second, the third...

In the positional battle, Ou Youning showed off his skills and fired two shots.

At this point, the team has earned a total of 15 contribution points.

Zheng Tian took stock of the supplies again, "We have a good hand today and we still have plenty of supplies left. I propose to expand the results. What do you think?"

During the questioning, Zheng Tian's eyes fell on Ren Zhong's face the whole time.

Obviously, Zheng Tian, ​​who was overthinking, respected the opinion of this "big man" very much.

Ren Zhong secretly took a deep breath, "Okay!"

Zheng Tian: "Which direction are you going? Do you want to continue in?"

Ren Zhong: "Just make up your mind."

"Okay. I think we can go a little deeper."

Zheng Tian said with a smile.

Less than half an hour later, the scene outside the car window became familiar, and the hover car's sensor started beeping the alarm.

Ren Zhong glanced at it.

The energy level reaction intensity index is 7.7.

Appeared, the iron walking armor accompanying the blade beetle.

The last time the team found the iron walking armor, they saw that its energy level was lower than the minimum level of 10 for a first-level beast, so they thought it was injured.

Now Ren Zhong was deducing the process from the answer, but he knew that the reason why the iron walking armor was so sluggish was because a blade beetle regularly sucked the iron element out of it.

He took a deep breath.

Very good, all the elements such as time, location, enemy contact direction, species of beasts, methods of restraint, and the life gate of the beasts have been gathered.

It’s time to start strategizing and winning a thousand miles.
