Chapter 342: Chapter 144: A History Full of Suspicions and Distortions

That was a lesson Ren Zhong gave to others, and also to himself.

On Source Star, everything depended solely on himself.

Understanding one’s true nature, going against the world, knowing is easy but doing is hard, the road ahead is long.

Only a will forged by steel and blood can resist the erosion of the world.

...

Another night of what could be described as a luxurious Fifth Level Virtual Reality training.

Ren Zhong’s three parameters respectively reached a Biological Electric Power of 2685.79 kilowatts, Brain Reaction Index of 3039.8, and a Physical Comprehensive Index of 2685.79.

With the dual power of wealth and talent, his brain reaction finally reclaimed its dignity, restoring his self-respect with sheer strength, once again looking down on the two younger brothers who were dragging behind.

The atmosphere at the breakfast table was slightly different from last night’s fervor, with less restlessness and more determination.

Everyone was very silent.

Ren Zhong, however, cracked a few jokes, saying, "Although I spoke grandly yesterday, there’s a new situation now. Today we will act in full cooperation with two other professional teams. As you know, inexplicably, my personal image outside has turned into that of a lecher. I don’t mind this persona. Zheng Tian, Hanyu, you two are also my mistresses, so..."

Zheng Tian raised an eyebrow, instantly understanding Ren Zhong’s meaning, "We need to act very intimate in front of outsiders! I get it! I’ve got a lot of great ideas ready to use!"

Ou Youning raised his hand, "I get it too! Brother Ren wants you two to dress a bit provocatively. I happen to have packed some sexy and fiery..."

Duang!

Ou Youning’s forehead received a sharp rap from a peanut flicked by Ren Zhong’s fingertip, "You’re something else indeed. Zheng Tian, Hanyu, pay no mind to him. No need to overdo it, just be a little affectionate from time to time to help consolidate my persona."

Hanyu nodded, "Alright, okay."

Ren Zhong keenly noticed that just with this, the atmosphere at the table subtly relaxed a bit.

He sighed inwardly.

True enough, the leap was still too great.

Pure mental indoctrination alone could not instantly change the deeply rooted worldviews of Source Star people; it had to be taken step by step.

In the past few days, he didn’t go hunting much. During the day, apart from memorizing stocks and physical training, he spent a significant amount of time studying historical materials.

With citizen privileges, there was certainly a lot more information available. The basic information database in the Wrist watch contained detailed records of Source Star’s history, unlike the vagueness available to the outcasts.

According to investigations and analysis by biologists, chemists, and archaeologists, Source Star humans have at least hundreds of thousands of years of evolutionary history.

In historical records, early humans were not in their current form; they were also Ruined Beasts, and occupied a position akin to the apex of the Ruined Beast food chain.

But suddenly, one day, human bodies underwent mutations, began to produce high intelligence, but simultaneously lost various Special Abilities similar to other Ruined Beasts.

The reverse evolutionary path of humans began, gradually evolving over hundreds of thousands of years.

About seven to eight thousand years ago, a Source Star human named Yu finally created a written language, and Source Star humans began to have a recorded history.

According to ancient historical records, at the time the first dynasty was established, humans scattered across Source Star had almost no power to resist Ruined Beasts, continually fleeing and reproducing, finally barely propagating. At that time, humans lived a nomadic life where survival from day to day was uncertain, barely defending against the fierce Ruined Beasts with their fragile flesh.

At that time, humans still had an Innate Physique that required going into deep sleep past midnight. During all-night relocations of nomadic tribes, ancient people had to use carts, with one person carrying two people to proceed.

The person responsible for night travel could only endure with sheer willpower.

Then, every two or three days, shifts were necessary, or there would be a lot of sudden deaths.

Later on, humans gradually mastered using the remains of Ruined Beasts as weapons, attacking with their spears and defending with their shields.

Humans began to build fortresses and settled more extensively, with their footprints spreading across more territories.

One fortress after another sprang up across the various continents of Source Star.

Although humans still faced problems of sleeping like the dead at night, leading to fortresses being broken and bloodied, humans finally transitioned from the nomadic era into the agricultural era.

Thereafter, through numerous major dynasties and the rise and fall of thousands of fortresses, several millennia passed.

About 1,800 years ago, the first human to make armor and weapons from Ruined Beast remains emerged, killing a High Rank Ruined Beast with electrical discharges, and with cleverness and wisdom, comprehended the principles of electrical energy use.
