Resurrection Empire-Chapter 956 - 368: Country Bumpkin (Part 3)

Zhou Ya: "Then why did you start a group company?"

"It's a different matter. I enjoy the pleasure of self-satisfaction. My joy is not built on others' perceptions."

The two were chatting when Zhou Ya suddenly looked up behind Ren Zhong.

Her gaze passed through the gaps of her mask, looking a bit impatient.

Ren Zhong turned around following her gaze and saw a young man in a suit standing behind him.

Ren Zhong didn't get up, he simply said, "I don't sign autographs, don't take photos, don't know you, and don't want to know you."

The man sneered, "What are you thinking? I'm here to tell you, this is a place for hereditary high citizens, not where you should be. You'd better go back where you came from."

Ren Zhong was initially stunned, then couldn't hold back his laughter and gave the man a thumbs-up, "66666."

Man: "What do you mean?"

Ren Zhong: "Nothing. Interpret it however you want. But this is my booth, and I didn't invite you. According to current laws, this counts as infringing on my privacy."

The man's face darkened, shouting angrily, "What kind of thing are you? Privacy rights? A little over a year ago you were just a wasteland dweller! Even now you still reek of the rot and stink of a wasteland dweller! You're affecting me by sitting here!"

Ren Zhong remained unfazed, "Then you can roll a bit further away."

"You..."

"Want to try something?"

The man seemed eager initially, his expression changed several times quickly, but eventually, he just snorted, lifted his legs, and walked away, apparently heading to the booth of the group of girls who had been pestering Ren Zhong earlier.

Once the man left, Ren Zhong pressed a button, and a glass screen rose behind the booth.

Ren Zhong then adjusted the color, making the glass screen opaque, effectively isolating himself from the outside world.

Zhou Ya, sitting opposite him, finally took off her mask and apologized, "Sorry, I didn't expect this."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "No problem. The citizens, they're just too idle. I suspect this guy was interested in one of those 'little fans' of mine earlier and wanted to knock down this country bumpkin."

Zhou Ya: "Maybe."

"In the end, it's just that citizens are too idle. With no psychological pressure and no burdens, even if they waste their days, they never have to worry about their wealth shrinking, making them appear childish and laughable in their thinking. They haven't adapted to the new era yet."

Zhou Ya nodded, "Can't deny, there are many young people in Yuanjing City just like you said."

Ren Zhong: "Commonly known as being too full to find anything better to do."

He had some undertones he didn't voice.

He wouldn't let these citizens enjoy such stable days for much longer.

Zhou Ya suddenly asked out of the blue, "Mr. Ren, what do you think, if through human freezing technology, when people reach the Empire, they're all such young people, what position can Source Star humans obtain in the Empire?"

Ren Zhong didn't answer directly but instead asked, "Assistant Zhou, are you also part of the Promotion Association? Why didn't I find your information in the member records?"

Zhou Ya shook her head, "No, I just have such concerns."

Ren Zhong acknowledged, "Having concerns is good. Isn't what Chairman Ying Hao is doing now precisely to solve this hidden danger?"

"What about what you want to do?"

Ren Zhong: "Aligned with the Chairman, I'm a senior member of the Promotion Association. Alright, time is short, I need to place my bets now."

With that, he started quickly browsing through the list of contestants.

Zhou Ya reminded from the side, "Actually, under normal circumstances, many people reserve the list of contestants several days in advance. After all, there's so many candidates, it's hard to find the right one quickly. You're at a disadvantage due to time constraints."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "No problem, even if it costs me money, it's just a million Source Star Coin. I don't mind the expense for some amusement. Besides, don't I have a free entry every day?"

Zhou Ya: "It's not as simple as you say. I forgot to tell you, currently, Source Star TV can't produce virtual movies at low cost as before, and can only focus on variety shows for now. This game of human nature is currently the most popular variety show on Source Star TV's paid channels. If the contestant you choose wins the championship, you can get ten percent of the traffic dividends, worth a billion."

Ren Zhong was stunned, "Is that so? Then I'd better choose carefully."

Immediately, he pressed the filter button first, excluding the contestants who had already been chosen.

Sure enough, there were only about a hundred left.

Indeed, he came too late; others had only left him some broken, old, weak, sick, and disabled choices.

At first, Ren Zhong would open each contestant's details to check their background information for a meticulous selection.

But glancing at the countdown, there were only three minutes left, not enough time to check them all.

So, he went back to the avatar interface and did a quick scan. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Finally, his gaze fell on a girl in a white dress, skinny, with prominent cheekbones.

The girl's dynamic avatar looked lifeless, spiritless, in a terrible state.

Yet Ren Zhong saw a trace of anger and unwillingness in her eyes.

Most importantly, the girl's appearance reminded him of the "Dandelion Girl" he had once met briefly.

"It's decided, her."
