The finances will irreversibly flow toward the Nine Major Groups through various channels like the cafeteria, military weapon store, supply and marketing cooperatives, transaction taxes, and expenditures within the wristwatch.

Moreover, with the objective fact that the purchase price of the Ruined Beasts is perpetually low, capital outflow from the town is always faster than inflow.

This is the malicious part of the Source Star's system.

...

After waiting for over two hours, Ma Dafu arrived at the manor in high spirits.

At this point, Ren Zhong had slightly regained his composure and personally brewed a cup of the lowest-grade simple tea for Old Ma.

Ren Zhong asked, "How did the survey go?"

Having talked himself hoarse, Ma Dafu picked up the teacup and gulped down a big mouthful, only to yelp as he scalded himself.

After a while, he spoke with a slightly slurred tongue, "The survey has passed. Neither the Mengdu Group nor Purple Crystal Mining had any objections. They acknowledged the plan you asked me to propose earlier."

Ren Zhong raised his eyebrows, "Can we establish a labor dormitory near the Chenhui Mine and sign a labor subcontracting agreement in the mode of a human resources company? Provide jobs for the wild people of Starfire Town?"

Ma Dafu nodded, "Yes. Yu Junren made significant contributions and claimed it was to sell your favor. Now Purple Crystal Mining values you greatly."

Ren Zhong laughed heartily, "Good! Very good! I didn't expect my face would be so useful. What about the logistics storage center?"

"The logistics storage center will be newly built next to Starfire Town, not conflicting with the town, and it can also offer up to hundreds of labor positions. It's also within the scope of the human resources company's business. However, you'll have to negotiate with Yu Junren for further details."

Ren Zhong nodded, "Hmm. By the way, what about the Mengdu Group? Did they give in so easily?"

Ma Dafu made a sound of agreement, "Yes, it surprised me. I think it's mainly because of Sun Miao."

Ren Zhong thought for a moment, piecing together the sequence of events, and found it unsurprising.

This time, Sun Miao handed over the human brain implantation technology.

The technology is still in clinical trials, but when it enters the next stage, they'll definitely need Sun Miao, the chief expert.

Now Sun Miao has settled in Starfire Town, clearly indicating his stance. The Mengdu Group couldn't possibly sabotage their own efforts and upset the tough-headed Brother Sun without reason.

Ren Zhong imagined that the negotiation process between Sun Miao and the Mengdu Group was probably something like this.

What? Demolish my house? I, Sun, can lose the will to live at any moment, and prove it by dying!

I'm a suicide expert!

After considering various factors, as long as the survey passed within the rules, everything would proceed smoothly.

What can't be overcome is truly a predicament. Once overcome, looking back, one would realize how simple it was.

Ren Zhong squinted his eyes, starting to plan for the next steps.

At that moment, Bai Feng, Wen Lei, and Ou Youning returned.

Compared to before, Bai Feng seemed a bit taller, and his arms had become longer, almost reaching his calves when they hung down.

Additionally, Bai Feng, who previously appeared somewhat frail, now had noticeably muscular contours on his arms.

Ren Zhong directly asked, "Fourth level?"

Bai Feng nodded, "Yes, Mr. Ren."

"Hmm, very good. You can rest over there for now. We'll discuss matters later."

Ma Dafu's mouth opened wide, "No way, this Bai Feng… I remember he just reached the Second Level not long ago! You..."

Ren Zhong smiled and said, "That's why many people are exceptionally talented, they just lack opportunities. The potential of Starfire Town is greater than you imagine, Old Ma. By the way, how's your retirement arrangement?"

Ma Dafu decisively said, "I've postponed my retirement. I want to strive alongside you. I hope to see you turn it into Starfire County during my lifetime!"

Ren Zhong shook his head, "It's not me turning it into Starfire County, it's us."

Ma Dafu was taken aback, "Hmm."

After pausing for a moment, Old Ma continued, "Lastly, during the final survey evaluation, the representative of the Tanggu Group gave Starfire Town a very high rating. The final score is excellent! Our temporary wild people quota can increase by at least forty percent, that's 8,000 people. The Tanggu Group is even willing to guarantee an additional 2,000 people for Starfire Town's quota. That means instead of decreasing, the wild people quota in Starfire Town has increased by 10,000, reaching 30,000!"

Ren Zhong's eyes lit up, "Then I can fulfill my promise."

"What promise?"

Ren Zhong first glanced at his and Old Ma's hands, both covered with dark velvet pangolin skin sleeves over the wristwatches.

Then, he lowered his voice and recounted his agreement with Shi Xuan to Ma Dafu in detail.

At first, Ren Zhong was worried that Old Ma might have objections to him overstepping his boundaries, but unexpectedly, Old Ma laughed heartily and quietly said, "Good! I know Shi Xuan's people, their tribe follows rules and won't cause disturbances. The comprehensive strength of the wild people tribe on Qi Mountain ranks high within Liao Yuan County, and I'm eager to absorb them."
