Ren Zhong sat quietly on the spacious bed, listening to the sound of water dripping from the bathroom not far away, feeling more complicated than ever before.
The person taking a bath in the bathroom is Ma Xiaoling.
She seemed to be in a good mood, whistling non-stop, showing off the style of a bathroom diva.
The location where the two of them were at this time was exactly the villa that Ren Zhong arranged when he pretended to be a lover with Ma Xiaoling in order to gain Yang Bingzhong's trust and Ma Dafu provided cover for the two.
Ren Zhong still remembers the heart-rending howl that Ma Xiaoling made that night when she burst out with her superb acting skills.
Time passed, and he and Ma Xiaoling returned to the villa with similar purposes.
The difference is that this time they are coming for real.
Ren Zhong wasn't sure that Ma Xiaolingming didn't understand what this meant.
More than ten minutes ago, Ren Zhong first carefully analyzed his understanding of the Internet in as accurate a language as possible, and then described the overall plan.
Ren Zhong said: "As I just said, the 'Net' is to the entire Source Star society what the brain is to humans. It monitors everything and controls everything. If we don't get rid of the 'Net', all efforts will be in vain.
.There is an insurmountable wall that is invisible to the naked eye but exists objectively, firmly blocking my way forward."
"I can save and change the fate of the desolate people in Xinghuo Town, Liaoyuan County and even Yangsheng City, so that these people can live a good life. But once I want to go further, I will die, and you will die too. In Xinghuo Town,
Everyone will die."
"Even if I don't do anything next, what we have accomplished is a time bomb. No one knows when the 'net' will make a new judgment on us, regard us as revolutionaries, and detonate this bomb.
, and destroy everything instantly."
Madafu shook his head, "What hasn't happened yet can't be assumed after all."
Ren Zhong's tone became solemn, "When it really happens, it will be too late to say anything. Let alone resistance, we don't even have a chance to defend ourselves, right?"
Madafu pondered for a moment, "Yes."
Ren Zhong: "If I say it has happened, you may not believe it. But as a descendant of the Yangsheng Ma family, Lao Ma, you should be very aware of what happened in the Nameless City. Lao Ma, do you think it makes sense to be lucky?
"
Ma Dafu: "It makes no sense, you are right."
Ma Xiaoling scratched her head, "What are you talking about? Why can I understand every word, but I have no idea what it means when you put them together?"
Ren Zhong and Madafu said in unison: "Just listen, there is no need to understand."
Ma Xiaoling: "Oh."
Ren Zhong added: "Currently, Sun Ai can restrain 'Net' in a small area. But her ability goes beyond that, she can completely kill Net."
Madafu: "Are you sure?"
"hundred percent."
"If we do this, a war will break out and many people will die."
Ren Zhong: "But most of the desolate people on the Source Star still live the same life as in Spark Town before. Do you think this is called living? What is the difference? Living without dying, and fighting to die for living are two different things.
Which one is better? More in line with the needs of desert people?"
Madafu thought for a long time: "What help do you want us to provide?"
"The real job of the members of the Ma family is to serve as maintainers of the 'Net'. Once you enter the Ma family's core circle, you will have the opportunity to access the secrets of the 'Net' and find the physical location of the 'Net'. Even if you cannot locate it accurately,
I can get a general direction, which can save a lot of time. There are only twenty years until the Great Migration, and there will probably be a great purge before the Great Migration. Time waits for no one, and I must speed up the progress. At present, it seems that the only
The only way is to marry Ma Xiaoling."
Ma Dafu was shocked: "Marriage?"
"Yes, get married, and it must be a de facto marriage, it can't be a show-off." Ren Zhan nodded heavily, "After we get married, I will return to the Ma family with her. At present, the Ma family has noticed her fighting talent. Here
I have also received an invitation from Shenzhen News Group before, but it was just another department, not the core department I wanted to work in. If the values of the two of us are combined into one, we will definitely be able to achieve our goal."
Ma Dafu: "How sure are you?"
Ren Zhong: "It can be ten percent or one hundred percent."
"What's the meaning?"
Ren Zhong rubbed his fists, "Just think of it as 100%. For so long, everything I have done seems to have the risk of failure, but I have done it in the end, right?"
Ma Dafu nodded, "That's true. But the situation this time is a little different. If you just need my help, then I will risk it even with my old bones. But there is still her... Sigh."
Ma Xiaoling glared at Ma Dafu with dissatisfaction: "I'm not a child anymore. I have my own judgment."
Ma Dafu rolled his eyes secretly, "Tell me, what is your judgment?"
Ma Xiaoling shrugged, "Anyway, Ren Zhong is a nice and smart guy. His ideas must be good. Besides, based on my understanding of Ren Zhong, this guy is actually not lewd at all, but very awkward. I bet that,
For him to come up with this idea, it must be completely out of the question. He doesn't want this more than anyone else, but he just has no choice, right?"
Ma Xiaoling stared at Ren Zhong with big eyes and blinked.
Ren Zhong was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head, "Yes."
"So, don't worry, that's it. Dad, don't think about it. It's a waste of time and energy to think about your brain with him. He likes to use his brain, just let him use it. For us, the best thing is to listen to his command.
It’s the easiest and most reliable.”
While Ma Dafu was still considering the feasibility of this matter, Ma Xiaoling had already agreed.
She thought it was nothing. Since Ren Zhong thought it was useful and could change the status quo, she would do it.
Ma Dafu: "This..."
After a long time passed, Lao Ma nodded with difficulty, "Okay, that's it."
…
So, this is how it happened.
As Ma Xiaoling expected, the current task is not easy.
Even if he told Ju Qingmeng what happened five minutes ago, Ju Qingmeng not only didn't mind, but even happily told him that it should be like this, it still couldn't alleviate the twisted feeling in his heart.
A few more minutes passed, and Ma Xiaoling came out wrapped in a loose bath towel.
Ren Zhong was planning to say something, such as saying "thank you" or something.
But Ma Xiaoling pulled off the towel and said, "Hurry up. Finish your work and go to bed early. Since I have to leave tomorrow afternoon, I can seize the time to take people out to lay some minefields and build some automated defenses tomorrow morning.
.”
Ren Zhong: "..."
This is her, no matter what she does, she is always so resolute and neat.
…
Looking at Ma Xiaoling sleeping beside him, Ren Zhong got out of bed, stood by the window, and looked at the twin moons in the sky.
He was seen through by Ma Xiaoling.
At this time, he felt really empty inside.
The Ma family's father and daughter were indeed impeccable in their treatment of him, and they had a life-long friendship.
He doesn't want to get an advantage and behave well, but understanding the truth doesn't mean he can control his emotions.
He needed some thinking to calm down.
Going back in time many days ago, he would never have imagined that he would reach this stage.
Even though he knew that time could be reset, Ma Xiaoling was destined to know nothing about it, but it still left a lingering mark in his heart.
He once wanted to pursue pure love and be worthy of anyone.
He wants to be a "perfect man".
But the reality told him that it would be difficult for a "perfect man" to make progress.
In the era background of Yuanxing, "perfect people" can only be useless people.
Previously, in order to save his life, he chose to accept Ju Qingmeng's feelings in advance before he could mentally build himself up.
Now, he sees the hope of destroying the "Net", completely changing this era, and saving everyone.
If he wants to take his career further, he must sprinkle another pinch of salt on his already guilty mind.
Last time it was for "living", this time it was for "moving forward".
The reasons seem to be different, but the essence is the same. They all have an impure purpose to obtain "sex".
Ren Zhong has long known that once this kind of thing happens for the first time, it will happen a second time, and maybe there will be more times.
But when it really happened, it still left him deeply troubled and painful.
I understand.
It is impossible for people like me to find true love in this era.
Because people’s outlook on life, worldview and values are actually creations that grow on the soil of the background of the times.
I have not created a world that can breed the opposite sex that is consistent with my three views.
I haven't changed this era yet, so how can I get the products of the era?
The more I pursue perfection, the more I achieve nothing.
They are actually very close to me, but the differences at the bottom are indelible and will always exist.
I really couldn't ask for more.
Ren Zhong's gaze dropped again, drifting across the panoramic view of Xinghuo Town, looking far away.
Although it was already half past eleven at night, the lights in Xinghuo Town were still bright, even brighter than during the day.
This is not a lighting for pedestrians, but part of the optical monitoring and defense system, which can make it impossible for beasts and night infiltrators to hide.
In the outer city, the dirty and messy slums of the past have long since disappeared, replaced by four urban districts with clear divisions of labor.
The building layout is neat and full of modernity and strength.
In Dongcheng District, the Yersun Hotel, wholly owned by the Yersun Group, stands opposite the Ye Changmian Hotel, wholly owned by the Ren Group, with flashing neon lights.
These two hotels are the few 24-hour businesses in the town.
The people in Spark Town have evolved from "living" to "living".
All these are the changes that Ren Zhong has brought to Xinghuo Town.
"I have changed Spark Town. Not only do I want to protect this place, but I also want to change more places. I want to see a smile on everyone's face wherever I go. I don't want to see tragedy repeat itself easily."
"I'm still fighting."
"Maybe the process was not perfect, maybe I left a stain on the perfect life I wanted, maybe I will have to live with such memories in the future, maybe when I face Ju Qingmeng and Ma Xiaoling again in the future, I will feel a little shake in my heart. I still have lingering guilt, but this is what I should bear."
"As long as my pursuit is still to stop seeing the walking dead in Spark Town, and to make everyone live like human beings, I will have a clear conscience."
Ren Zhong clenched his fist and returned to the bedroom.
At noon on the 161st day, the raging corporate war suddenly entered a new stage.
Xinghuo Town and Wangdong Town were separated.
The corporate war in Yangsheng City is still going on, but from now on, Xinghuo Town and Wangdong Town will become neutral zones.
The reason for such changes is the strong intervention of Shenzhen Xun Group.
As Ren Zhong and Ma Xiaoling announced their return to the Ma family, and relied on their respective values to become internal members of the Shenxun Ma family on the spot, the resource recycling companies in Xinghuo Town, Chromium Carbon Town and Wangdong Town gained Ma's protection.
Ren Zhong's next plan is to enter Shenxun Group, first go to the game development department, and then take out the key to "Dream B&B" that Hua Yuelan gave him, use it as a certificate of surrender, and then use it as Ma Xiaoling's legal husband.
With his identity, he entered the core circle of the Ma family.
So at this time, his identity has become a contemporary stock god, a senior member of the Promotion Association, a highly regarded technical master of Amethyst Mining, a cutting-edge representative of Tanggu Group, and a genius programmer with "three correct views".
The most important thing is that when Hua Yuelan is "killed" by him, he will become a reliable citizen of Source Star.
He can take advantage of the opportunity to enter the underlying logic algorithm auxiliary department of Shenxun Group.
Then, he will explode directly, obtain the physical location of the "net", and then commit suicide on the spot and reopen it.
This is his only way.
The entire Shenzhen News Group exists precisely to serve the "Network".
All other businesses of the Shenzhen News Group are nothing more than side businesses derived from Ma's efforts to gain more wealth.
If Shenzhen Information Group only focuses on the basic work of serving the "net", then there is nothing anyone can do.
But people will always have selfish motives, even the descendants of Elder Frozen, including Ying Hao and the Shenxun Ma family.
Ma's selfishness is Ren Zhong's breakthrough and the only flaw in Yuanxing's system.
It is well known that when Mr. Ma was immersed in the joy of getting this new and all-round talent, that was when he became famous.
He almost succeeded.
…
When Ren Zhong opened his eyes again, he had returned to the investment fair held by Chongyi County Government on the 131st day.
He was holding Ju Qingmeng with his left hand and Chen Hanyu with his right hand. Opposite him, Wang Jinshou was looking at him, the expression on his face changing rapidly, uncertain.
Wang Jinshou finally said nothing and turned to leave.
Zhao Qiang walked towards him and said, "Mr. Ren, actually the distance between the county seat and Nangao Town is not that far..."
Ren Zhong was silent, thinking, until Zhao Qiang finished speaking his lines, then he said with a smile: "The distance between Xinghuo Town and Nangao Town is not far, I will choose Xinghuo Town. But this is not enough, I will come here sooner or later."
Yi County.”
Zhao Qiang: "Well, then I will sweep the bed and wait."
After getting in the car back to the hotel, Ren Zhong rubbed his swollen temples.
About ten minutes ago, he and Ma Xiaoling were shot dead on the spot.
The reason for this failure lies with himself.
His decision was too hasty.
In order to convince Ma Dafu, he revealed too much information to the father and daughter.
Ren Zhong didn't know that even though Ma Xiaoling was of orthodox blood origin, the two of them still had to face a psychological review within the Shenxun Group before becoming core members.
He passed the test easily, but Ma Xiaoling leaked too much information.
This time, it needs to be corrected again.
Until then, everything is business as usual.
…
Time flies, and at 9:55 in the night on the 160th day of the Ren Zhong Era, Ren Zhong, who had just been released from prison, once again fell downstairs at the town hall of Xinghuo Town.
Ren Zhong did not notify Ma Dafu.
Ma Xiaoling sneakily poked his head out of the gate of the town mansion and looked at him with surprise on his face, "It's so late at night, how are you doing?"
Ren Zhong: "Come on."
Ma Xiaoling was stunned for five seconds, then he fisted his palms fiercely, tilted his neck, made a crackling sound, and said with a ferocious smile: "Come on, who is afraid of whom?"
