Resurrection Empire

Going back to fifteen minutes ago, two uninvited guests came to the town hall of Xinghuo Town.

One of them is the contemporary patriarch of the Yangsheng Ma family who has long drawn a clear line with Ma Dafu, that is, Ma Shu's father and Ma Dafu's cousin Ma Da'an.

The other person has a mysterious origin and has the same surname as Ma, but he made an emergency call from Shenzhen Capital City this morning, using full manual driving mode, and drove an airship the size of an aircraft carrier all the way here.

Facing these two people, Ma Dafu's mood was a little complicated.

As early as his father's generation, he had completely severed ties with the Yangsheng Ma family.

Later, when Ma Xiaoling showed his fighting talent, he almost returned to the Yangsheng Ma family.

But later, as Ma Xiaoling became more and more unruly and difficult to integrate, the father and daughter were isolated again.

Ma Dafu didn't care, he just lived his own life.

Then, he was struggling in Xinghuo Town, and was completely suppressed by Yang Bingzhong until he couldn't breathe. Faced with the situation in the town that was getting worse year by year, he could not reverse the decline even if he tried his best. He could only watch helplessly as the town gradually came to an end and fell into an abyss that even the census could not pass.

It wasn't until Ren Zhong appeared that the situation changed.

Ren Zhong once thought that it was Ma Dafu's incompetence that led to this result, but now after spending nearly eight months together, Ren Zhong's concept has changed.

No matter how he expanded, Madafu, who was in charge of administrative work and responsible for escorting, would arrange everything in an orderly manner.

When the population of Spark Town suddenly increased from 20,000 to 30,000, there were no problems and everything was stable.

The total population has surged from 30,000 to 78,000 and now is nearly 200,000. The entire town's security management, employment situation, and living situation are all in order and have never been out of control.

Ren Zhong has never bothered with these things, relying on Ma Dafu.

The boundary of Lao Ma's abilities is obviously far beyond that of a town mayor.

However, Yang Bingzhong, who was defeated miserably at the hands of Ren Zhong, only showed the level of an unsatisfactory businessman. Maybe Yang Bingzhong did receive some training in the business field and learned some valuable management tutorials, but limited by his ability, IQ, talent, personality and other congenital defects, he only learned a few things.

Now that Ren Zhong is looking back, he realizes that the reason why Ma Dafu lost to Yang Bingzhong was probably more due to Yangsheng Ma's constant backstabbing and betrayal.

This can be seen from the fact that Ma Shu was the introducer of Yang Bingzhong's exotic mines.

Ma Dafu himself knew these things well, so he didn't like to deal with Yangsheng Ma.

But he had a different perception of Shenxun Ma.

No matter what, the Shenxun Ma family has always been one of the nine peaks of the Yuanxing social structure, and has never been shaken.

As a side branch among its side branches, Ma Dafu has a pilgrimage mentality towards Shenxuan Ma family, but he is also dissatisfied.

He admired the achievements and status of these distant relatives, and felt that these people should be directly responsible for the many human tragedies caused by the unreasonable system on Source Star today.

Of course, these were all Madafu's random thoughts in his spare time. He didn't think that one day he would have to deal with those distant relatives who had nothing to do with each other, until now.

"According to the genealogy and seniority, I should call you, Mayor Ma, my cousin."

Ma Xiayun from Shendu City said this.

Ma Dafu refused to accept the other party's advances and said, "I don't dare to take it seriously. If you have any questions, just tell me. I can't think of anything where you would need me."

Ma Xiayun did not feel dissatisfied and smiled: "Uncle, we have noticed your daughter Ma Xiaoling. She has amazing fighting talent. Even if we look at the entire Origin Star, among citizens of the same age, she is probably ranked in the top one thousand. .”

Madafu shook his head: "This is an exaggeration. Just in our town of Xinghuo, there is an insurmountable mountain."

"You are talking about a heavy responsibility, and we know this. In fact, we are here just for him this time. He published a paper related to intelligent algorithms a few days ago. We think he is very talented and very Suitable for our field. We want to absorb him, but the Ma family has an iron law. He must be a Ma family member. Uncle, do you think he can become a Ma family member? Is there any possibility between him and your daughter Ma Xiaoling? Going further?"

After hearing what the other party said, Madafu was not surprised, he even expected it.

He thought for three full minutes and finally gave the answer against his will.

"Although I have never heard my daughter say it, I know that she is interested in Ren Zhong. As for Ren Zhong, I am sure that he does not hate my daughter. So if it is just through me that Ren Zhong and Ma I think it's feasible."

Due to the collapse of the watch system, the brainwave reading device and bone conduction headphones have not yet been restructured. Ma Dafu cannot chat with the other party while contacting Ren Zhong to ask for his advice.

He can only make decisions based on his own judgment.

Lao Ma thinks this is feasible and necessary.

The task is heavy and you need to climb up as soon as possible. At this period, it is very valuable to get Ma's protection and help.

Therefore, Lao Ma made his own decision.

The final result was that Ren Zhong received this call from Ma Xiacheng.

After listening to the other party's self-introduction and straightforward statement of his intention, Ren Zhong chose to understand and pretend not to understand.

"Minister Ma, thank you for your appreciation, but I think you may be a little sick and seek medical treatment. I just wrote an article out of personal preference, but it is not systematic and cannot compare with real professionals. I'm afraid I can't solve the current problem. The problem."

"You already know what happened?"

Ren Zhong: "What do I know?"

In the past, almost no one would be able to play riddles under the watchful eye of "Net", but now they can enjoy being a riddler even though they have a heavy responsibility.

Ma Xiacheng, who was opposite him, obviously didn't have the emotional intelligence to play a big role. He said directly: "Ying Hao told you, right?"

Ren Zhong: "Tell me what?"

"The failure of the 'net' and the need for us to put together a technical team to try and fix the net as quickly as possible."

Ren Zhongquan shook his head: "I didn't know before, but I know now."

"you……"

"In addition, I also know the rules of Shenxun Group. Only core members of the Ma family can join key departments. I'm afraid I don't meet the standards."

Ma Xiacheng: "We have communicated with Ma Dafu and his daughter that you can choose to marry Ma Xiaoling..."

Ren Zhong said categorically: "I refuse. Ma Xiaoling is my friend, best friend, and best friend. I don't deny that there is indeed some affection between me and her, but we can never forcefully marry for such a ridiculous reason. I have my own In principle, your suggestion is an insult to my character."

He has done things against his will before, but that does not mean that he will live against his will from now on.

Now he dares to show his "innocence" and inexplicable "stubbornness" boldly.

"You..." Ma Xiacheng was caught off guard by him, "You don't want to become a seventh-level citizen?"

"If I rely on my own ability, I think it's okay. But if you have to sacrifice my feelings and let me do something against my will, then I'm sorry. This kind of welfare of a seventh-level citizen has no appeal to me. I guess you are interested in me. There should have been an investigation, and you should know that I can live a good life without relying on Shenxun Group."

At this point in the conversation, Ma Xiacheng was determined to take on the heavy responsibility.

In the desperate situation caused by the collapse of the "net", Shenzhen News Group has been cornered.

They will definitely let go of their former pride, take the initiative to break their own rules that have lasted for thousands of years, relax restrictions on blood and identity, and invite outsiders to join the core department as employees.

Ren Zhong's current persistence is not intentional.

In a narrow sense, he is trying to shake the foundation of Shenxun Ma.

Broadly speaking, he is using his own value to forcefully dig a new gap in the class system established by the nine major companies by using blood-only theory and civil inheritance rights.

The saying that a thousand-mile embankment breaks in an ant nest has been true since ancient times.

This is the truth.

Ma Xiacheng: "I have to think about it first."

Nearly fifteen minutes passed, and then Ma Xiacheng dialed Ren Zhong's communication again, "Okay, you can join my department directly."

Ren Zhong: "Where is the seventh-level citizen? Do I have to produce results? Then I'm afraid I'm not qualified. I don't think I can solve the problem that so many of you can't solve. This is just a painting. Just cake.”

Ma Xiacheng gritted his teeth: "Shenzhen News Group will initiate a vote in the cabinet now to promote you to a seventh-level citizen. As for the rights of a seventh-level citizen, I think you should be very clear."

Ren Zhong replied crisply: "Okay."

"Then please stay where you are. Our people will come to your company in five minutes. You will come to Shendu City immediately after you meet up."

As Ma Xiacheng said, heavy responsibilities indeed require the skin of a seventh-level citizen.

After all, the social structure of Yuanxing has not been completely broken, and he does not have the strength to compete with the association's army, so he has to abide by the association's rules to a certain extent.

The restrictions and constraints placed on citizens by the citizen system are everywhere. Every time you upgrade to a level, it is like playing an upgrade-style RPG game. You can immediately get higher "strength", "agility", "intelligence", "physical strength", etc. and other parameters.

For example, when Ren Zhong was trading in the stock market, he was sanctioned by the Securities Regulatory Commission many times for making too much money in the stock market. The solution was to upgrade.

Similar situations have occurred in the past few months.

When Ren Zhong wanted to privatize his eleven towns, he hit the barrier of fifth-level citizens.

Level 5 citizens can have huge wealth, but are limited in fixed assets and the number of employees.

To privatize a town market, one must reach level six citizenship.

After that, Ren Zhong used the taxes paid by his major industries to create a lot of citizen credit points for himself, and "begged" a lot from cooperative enterprises. He also made some donations to upgrade himself to level six, and then went on to deal with the eleventh level. The privatization of fixed assets in the town has been steadily and orderly progressed, and has now been completed.

Now, due to the disappearance of the "net", the implementation of the Autonomy Order, and the overall shrinkage of citizens above the fifth level, Ren Zhong believes that it is time to consider privatizing Liaoyuan County, Chongyi County, and Xihu County.

By that time, he will have completed the "rural encirclement of the city" in Yangsheng City, and then it will be really unclear who is serving whom.

Therefore, heavy responsibilities indeed require the skin of a seventh-level citizen.

Speaking of which, Ren Zhong is also very curious about how other level 5 or level 6 citizens who have accumulated a lot of wealth can complete this last step of advancement under the premise that the entire financial system has evaporated.

Donate money? It's obviously unrealistic. Now everyone has no money.

Donating materials, technology, manpower and other resources may be the only option.

Continuing to deduce, Ren Zhong suddenly grinned subconsciously.

He remembered someone.

It was Wang Jingcai, Wang Jinshou's sister who was reduced to slavery as a seventh-level citizen but was let go by him in vain, and Wang Jingcai, the legal heir of the Wang family in Chengyi.

Perhaps the former Wang Jingcai was the poorest seventh-level citizen in the entire Origin Star, and was destined to have no hope of making a comeback.

But now that the situation has changed, there is no doubt that someone will need her level 7 skin, and then she will be able to get the help she needs to make a comeback. Ren Zhong bless her in advance as she is dominated by hatred.

About seven hours had passed, and the pilot of Shenxun Ma finally parked the spacecraft into the dock of Shendu City before twelve o'clock in the morning.

More than a dozen staff members wearing low-automation engineering mechas entered the huge spacecraft and lifted off the sleeping cabins containing other personnel who had fallen asleep.

When one of the staff members came to the VIP cabin where the important task was, he opened the door step by step, but was shocked. Ren Zhong inside did not fall asleep on time at ten o'clock at night like others, but looked down at a tablet computer in high spirits.

The man asked cautiously: "Mr. Ren, are you still awake?"

Ren Zhong stood up and stretched, "I'm not sure I suddenly took on such a big job. I have to do some preparation in advance. Although the watch can't be used now, fortunately I have learned a lot about programming before. The textbooks have been downloaded to the tablet and can still be used. Let’s go. Go directly to Minister Ma. Is he asleep?”

"Uh. Minister Ma has already fallen asleep. He thought he would not be able to meet you until tomorrow morning."

Ren Zhong waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. There's always someone on duty, right?"

"some."

Fifteen minutes later, Ren Zhong appeared downstairs in the Shenzhen News Group headquarters building.

In this short fifteen-minute journey, he saw the huge changes in Shendu City.

Compared with everything in Xinghuo Town, Shendu City has been turned upside down.

The ground was littered with crashed aircraft.

Many buildings that were originally highly technological were left riddled with holes.

Thick smoke is still burning in some areas.

There are also many Mengdu Group staff wearing white clothes running around with some construction machinery to rescue people.

Of all the cities on Source Star, Shendu City relies more on the "net" than any other city.

Almost every inch of the city’s land has been heavily utilized by the computing power of the “net”.

This was once an unfailing city with eternal order.

If human beings living here want to enjoy life, they can even lie on the bed without moving from birth and live until old age and death, and their bodies can not gain weight with the help of micro-controlled electric-assist training equipment.

Because of this, Shendu City suffered the greatest damage and looked like a ruin after the war.

Waiting for him under the headquarters building is no longer a simulated secretary, but a real staff member, the deputy leader of the algorithm project team, Ma Xiacheng’s assistant, a middle-aged woman named Ma in her thirties.

The woman caught Ren Zhong's eyes still focused on the raging fires burning everywhere in Shendu City, and said with a forced smile: "Mr. Ren, you are laughing. But this place will return to normal in a week."

Ren Zhong raised his eyebrows, "You mean, it will take more than a week for the 'Net' to be repaired?"

Woman: "Mr. Ren, you are asking questions knowingly. Isn't this the purpose of why we invited you here?"

Ren Zhongyi grinned, "That's true."

When entering the building with Ren Zhong, the woman surnamed Ma said to herself, "Actually, I once suggested to the minister. I think you should not be disturbed, Mr. Ren. Although you have some experience, you are still a layman after all. Right? ?”

The corner of Ren Zhong's mouth curved, "Maybe."

When the "net" monitors everything, the operating mechanism of Shenzhen Xun Group seems to be perfect. It is based on ability theory. The capable ones are promoted and the mediocre are demoted. The efficiency is extremely high.

But when the "net" is gone, the problems that have been forcibly suppressed in the rotten social structure are immediately exposed.

Ren Zhong smelled a smell of decay.

Isn’t this just a workplace struggle that creates internal friction?

How funny.

Ren Zhong just wanted to laugh out loud.

Shenxun Group is like this, what about other giants?

I'm afraid it's about the same.

This is of course a good thing!
