In the evening of the 70th day, the reception room on the second floor of the town house.

Ren Zhong sat at Ma Dafu's tea table.

Lao Ma is handling matters in the office hall outside.

Ma Xiaoling sat with her legs crossed at another table nearby, eating melon seeds and frowning at the tablet computer.

The back of the tablet was facing Ren Zhong's tea table, and Ren Zhong couldn't see the content on the computer screen, but from Ma Xiaoling's frown and the green reflection on her face, it was clear that she was probably reading stocks.

A few days ago, Ren Stock God started advanced teaching and asked her to accumulate experience on her own first.

He didn't ask recently, he didn't even know what was going on with this high-ranking disciple, so don't lose all your dowry.

"How's the situation? Did it fall hard?"

Ren Zhong asked.

Ma Xiaoling let out a long breath, "Yes! The checks I selected are all falling. The wave of Xingkong Shipbuilding a few days ago was too severe, and the panic in the market continues."

Hearing what she said was so miserable, Ren Zhong wanted to pay back the money.

If I remember correctly, I still owe her 400,000.

"Otherwise..."

Ma Xiaoling: "But it's okay. I'm learning to sell short now and make money."

Ren Zhong: "Oh."

"What did you want to say just now?"

"It's nothing. There have been more and more people with weapons in the town in the past two days. There have been no armed fights on the streets, right?"

Ma Xiaoling shook his head, "No, they are all making money steadily."

After saying that, she stared at the screen again, wandering in silence without saying a word, apparently trying to predict the direction of the stock market using the non-existent "Ren's Meditation Method".

At this time, Ma Dafu walked in from the door of the reception room, wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down and boiled a pot of Kung Fu tea, and then said with a smile: "If you could have come two or three years earlier, then Xinghuo Town would not have fallen.

It’s come to this point. Alas.”

Obviously, the changes that have taken place in Spark Town in just a few days have greatly affected Madafu, the mayor of the town.

Lao Ma's mood is very complicated.

The better he does his job, the more incompetent he feels. It seems that he only has kindness and nothing else.

Ren Zhong smiled, "There are so many ifs."

Ma Dafu nodded: "That's true. Many people came to cancel their registration today. It should be the last batch. I'm afraid the Mengdu Group's sampling truck will return empty-handed tomorrow."

"Oh?" Ren Zhong's eyes lit up. "That's a good thing."

Ma Dafu: "In previous years' normal censuses, if the overall performance was good, with higher scores in population reproduction trends, fertility rates, average population IQ, mental outlook, material output and other aspects, the town's temporary desertion quota would even be

It will not be reduced, but can be increased. Since you rebuilt the new Spark resources and popularized various new policies, the efficiency of the scavengers in hunting ruin beasts has increased day by day, and it will become faster and faster in the future. And there will be more and more

When people become scavengers, everything is getting better. As long as there is hope of living, no one is willing to die."

Ren Zhong: "Yes, so I am also urgently adding new production lines and recycling platforms, and I can't keep up with the demand."

"Everyone can feel the changes. There are still 20 days until the census, but the waste pickers have already shouted a new slogan."

"What slogan? Why don't I know?"

"I noticed it from the mouth analysis of the central monitoring station. The scavengers discussed using 20 days to complete the production capacity of the past 60 days, and increase the average output of Spark Town this year by at least 10% compared with previous years. There are still some waste people here.

After discussion, we must seize the time to let each woman get pregnant as soon as possible. The proportion of pregnant women represents the population reproduction trend. Just these two items can add a lot of points to the census. Also take into account the changes in mental outlook.

, some people even hope that after we pass the census, the quota will be increased by 4,000 people, reaching 24,000 on the current basis."

Ren Zhong: "..."

"If it were a normal census, the birth of a fifth-level professional would be a floating standard in the professional development evaluation index, and could be mentioned or not mentioned. Then the people's calculations are reasonable. But usually this should be considered by the town government.

The desolate people usually don’t think so much. But this time, the desolate people were also ignited with enthusiasm. Alas, but this census is different. The desolate people in Xinghuo Town have indeed not had a fifth-level professional for many years, so the county government follows

It is reasonable and within the scope of the rules to increase the requirements of the regulations. However, I believe that with people like you, the desert people can live a good life even if they leave the town and go to the wild. You should have made plans early."

Ren Zhong looked careless and said, "It's all within the plan, don't worry."

"There's no rush. Let's talk about the Mengdu Group. I've already received rumors that someone in the Liaoyuan Branch of the Mengdu Group has noticed the changes in the town and plans to let people gradually spread the truth about the census in the town.

Create panic while proposing a one-to-one plan."

"What does one to one mean?"

"That is to make a public commitment. For each person who voluntarily becomes a volunteer of the Mengdu Group, another person can be designated to live in a satellite town in the headquarters city of the Mengdu Group."

Ren Zhong was silent for a moment: "Very vicious."

"Yes. If the desolate people are forcibly converted into commodities through voting, nearly half of the people will inevitably die due to panic riots, and the so-called volunteers that the Mengdu Group can get will be close to half. If the weapons in the hands of the desolate people become

If there are too many, the intensity of the final resistance will get out of control, and maybe half of the survivors will not be obtained. In the case of a bleak census prospect, this vicious method of boiling frogs in warm water is more effective, and at least thousands of people will be fooled. As for the other

It remains to be seen where the desolate people who gathered together to take the airship to the so-called new town will be taken to."

Ren nodded.

If the citizens sincerely do not regard the desert people as the same kind, then the promises made by the citizens to the desert people are basically equivalent to farts, just like people saying to the pigs in the pig farm, "You are delicious, go on and grow taller, I will not kill you."

, one meaning.

Ren Zhong sighed again, "What should we do?"

"If the sampling truck returns empty-handed tomorrow, this matter will change from a possibility to a necessity. But..."

"But what?"

"But all the desolate people who were registered before have indeed been cancelled. I can't force people to risk their lives to collect others."

Ren Zhong was silent for a long time, "Let's take it one step at a time."

Ma Dafu: "There is another thing. Ma Xiaoling, please go outside first."

Ma Xiaoling, who was looking at the stock market, left in a loud voice.

Then, Ma Dafu took out a black sleeve from his pocket and handed it to Ren Zhong. He also took out one and put it on his watch, and tied it tightly.

Ren Zhongxin understands and learns from others.

"Since last night, I have been unable to check your threat index and rebellion index at all."

Madafu said in a serious tone.

When Ren Zhong heard this, he had expected it, "I understand. I'm too good to Huangren. Obviously, monitoring citizens is beyond your authority as mayor. But don't worry, I'm a good businessman.

I know how to measure it well."

"That's fine. You take this thing."

"What material is it made of? How much does it cost?"

"I asked my daughter to hunt for beasts and made my own. The material is the skin of the velvet pangolin in the abandoned mine, which can effectively absorb external sounds."

Ren nodded to show understanding.

…

On the morning of the 71st day, the Mengdu Group's life-saving car indeed returned empty-handed.

Around afternoon, a mysterious message spread irreversibly among the desert people.

"Due to Mada Fu's incompetence, Spark Town has gone from bad to worse. No level 5 professional has been born among the deserters for more than ten years. The association has decided to rank the professional development index as the highest weight in this census. If no one can represent Spark Town

Stand up and pass the combat assessment, and it is imperative to ban them."

This is a message that is vital to everyone's life and death, and no one can stop its spread.

In just one afternoon, this piece of information spread to the ears of almost all the people in Starfire Town.

In addition to this basic information, there is another piece of information, which points directly to the arduous task of breaking away from the desert class and becoming a second-class citizen in just two months.

…

"Ren Zhong has become a fourth-level professional and is very powerful."

"Ren Zhong completely annexed all of Yang Bingzhong's property, and Yang Bingzhong's property was made of the flesh and blood of the people of Xinghuo Town."

"Although Ren Zhong is already a citizen, he still has the responsibility to participate in the combat effectiveness assessment in the census on behalf of the people of Xinghuo Desolate."

In the office, Wang Zhaofu worriedly read the information collected by the above-mentioned informants, and cursed, "Damn, it's too disgusting. Amethyst Mining and Mengdu Group are nine major companies, how could they play such a vicious trick? Just one of them

It’s just Xinghuo Town, so what? Isn’t this a loss of status?”

Ren Zhong was calm and said with a smile: "Nine major groups belong to the nine major groups, but the people who do these things are definitely just some small fish in the branch. They have studied me very deeply. Not only do they know that I am already a fourth-level professional

, even my character has been studied and moral kidnapping has been dealt with. It’s interesting.”

Ren Zhong knew who "betrayed" him, it must be Ma Shu.

Among the people outside, only Ma Shu, who failed to send desperadoes to assassinate him, can estimate his true combat power.

Ma Shu is also an interesting person.
