Something to Rely On

As long as one possesses martial prowess and engages in frequent combat, no one can avoid injuries.

Even the Zhou Household, who were known for taking a beating, were no exception.

In the face of battles between those Gene Fighting Technique, the barrage of firearms, and the strange and even ferocious beasts roaming the ruins of Qin Meng, injuries are commonplace.

Some injuries have healed, but others remain and cannot be healed, only waiting for the passage of time to heal them.

Some players have experienced a decline in form and ability, making it difficult for them to return to their peak performance.

Zhang Xuezhou's clientele consists of this group of people.

This involves not only the tendons and muscles of the hands and feet, but also some hidden injuries to internal organs.

Zhang Xuezhou wholeheartedly agreed with Wang Haoran's suggestion. That very day, he erected a billboard outside the research institute that read, "The God of Tu'er loves all people and specializes in treating bruises and sprains."

His business relies entirely on word-of-mouth, and he caters to a relatively high-end clientele.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't expect to treat patients every three days or every five days; he would consider it a blessing if he could get one client every year or two.

If these customers can provide what he needs, then everyone will be happy.

"If you have a need for hunting in Qinmeng and admire Uncle Wang's skills despite his age, feel free to call me when you're ready to go. I'm always available!"

With his hands and feet fully healed Wang Haoran had no thoughts of revenge in his mind, nor did he want to compete with Wang Yi'an for the family property.

Whether he admits it or not, without Wang Jiangtao as their backer and with their original Lineage power broken up by the division of the family, they can no longer find a foothold in Western Capital.

Even though Ren had gone through countless hardships in his Ren Yisheng, he was able to return to Western Capital only by relying on the special auxiliary properties of the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique.

His Gene Fighting Technique are almost impossible to combine with other techniques.

Even if he were to enter the Sixth Sequence, Western Capital would hardly have a place for him, let alone share any of its profits with him.

Wang Haoran come to a realization, and he is now focusing his attention on investing in and nurturing the next generation.

Investment can be made in terms of industrial stability or human resources.

For example, he could exchange some of his remaining shares to continuously create independent laboratories, allowing himself to have his own controllable laboratory resources.

For example, he relied on people like Zhang Xuezhou, whom he had befriended through Ren Yisheng. These were the forces he could unite at the moment and the development targets he was very optimistic about. They were likely to grow and move forward together.

Large Lineage have Lineage own ties, and even after they fall into the ranks of smaller Lineage, they still maintain their own networks of relationships.

The Zhang Household, with its extraordinary power, was clearly someone he wanted to befriend. Wang Haoran even offered to protect and guide these newcomers, Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou, without seeking any personal gain, until they fully adapted to Qin Meng's environment or continued to rise in rank.

"If Uncle Wang could help us, that would be wonderful!"

Qinmeng was a place Zhang Xuezhou was bound to go.

He originally intended to rely on Ren Wuyang for support and to help the other party hold him back.

But Wang Haoran doesn't mind them being a burden at all; he's willing to follow them as protectors.

This is perhaps the greatest sincerity Wang Haoran can offer at this moment.

Among Ren Yisheng's team, only Wang Haoran was able to disregard his Lineage's needs and extricate himself from the situation.

Zhang Xuezhou was overjoyed, feeling that they had gained a steadfast and powerful figure.

No matter how badly Wang Haoran lost to Wang Yi'an, he is still a true Fifth Sequence.

If not restrained, Wang Haoran can exert tremendous long-range strike power within a hundred meters.

With the right team composition, the opponent is definitely an elite group from Qin Meng.

"We're preparing to go to Qin and Meng to broaden our horizons," Zhang Xuezhou said. "With Uncle Wang here, we can rest assured!"

Following the sequencing event, Qin Meng became an area that many Gene Fighting Technique could not avoid, including Zhang Xuezhou and others, especially since he also had a huge demand for blood serum resources.

If the effects of the black-feathered chicken decrease significantly, and the crane blood serum provided by Professor Luo Hui and Zhou Yueyan is exhausted, they will definitely use the Qinmeng area as a hunting and fishing ground.

Those who wish to fish or hunt must adapt in advance to avoid being constrained when facing unfamiliar and desolate lands.

Facing the uninhabited wilderness, not to mention the problem of exotic beasts and ferocious animals, even insufficient ballast and drinking water could lead to the total annihilation of the group.

However, transportation was also a problem for Qin Meng.

This requires their team to have someone who can repair and assemble vehicles, and to utilize some of the old, dilapidated vehicles that remain in the ruins of the Qinmeng Empire, instead of relying on their own two feet to walk through the vast, uninhabited area.

"I feel at ease when you're here!"

Wang Haoran replied.

He stared intently at the young man before him, fully aware of the unique resources the man possessed.

Those whose abilities are irreplaceable will eventually be accepted by many powerful Lineage, thus becoming an indispensable part of the Alliance States.

They can lack a highly skilled combatant with similar abilities, but they cannot do without a skilled healer like this.

In particular, the opponent's Technique Method can compensate for the shortcomings of modern medicine. Until modern medicine makes sufficient progress, the opponent is the guarantee for maintaining the combat power of high-ranking individuals with minimal losses.

This even allows them to fight without holding back, daring to attack fiercely like Zhou Xin, Zhou Rihui, and others.

This might also allow the second generation of power in Western Capital to weather the risks posed by international disputes.

The only problem is how to convince higher-ups of Zhang Xuezhou's medical skills, and how Zhang Xuezhou can make good use of these skills to avoid having to contribute through open-source methods, which could make it difficult for others to follow and learn from him.

All of this requires Zhang Xuezhou to have a clear understanding of the situation, and it also requires that Zhang Xuezhou not be a mere medical practitioner, but rather possess sufficient capabilities to support it.

Having come this far in just a few years, Wang Haoran believes Zhang Xuezhou possesses sufficient maturity, but this also prompted him to offer a very kind reminder.

"I see!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

He created the charlatanism of the god Turs as an excuse to avoid these kinds of problems.

Whether Ren Anran or Turkalando is in power, he has the ability to use the name of the Turks to silence some people.

Although some shortcomings are inevitable, all of this is more beneficial than harmful to Zhang Xuezhou.

If he wants to own mid-range or high-end laboratories in the future, this could very well be his leverage, resulting in an effect similar to Ren Yisheng's possession of the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique as an auxiliary force.

This even surpasses his Kunpeng Combat Technique and his spear skills.

Western Capital doesn't lack a fighting force like him, but it lacks an advantage that high-end medical care cannot replace.

The more intense the international conflict, the more he may benefit.

His clients are not limited to the Scarlet Alliance State; they may also come from other countries.

"If you have the opportunity, you can get in touch with Committee Member Zhou," Wang Haoran suggested.

"Committee Member Zhou? Isn't he the best at taking a beating?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise, "There's no way someone like him could get hurt, is there?"

"It's precisely because he's good at taking beatings that he's suffered the most beatings. Some of his injuries might even render advanced medical care ineffective, especially his conflict with Montespatton of the Aomeijia Alliance. The impact of that conflict could be far deeper than we imagine. It's just that he doesn't like to complain or make a fuss, which is why it hasn't become widely known!"

If Chang Kongluo possesses typical characteristics of a civil official, then Zhou Xin embodies the qualities of a military general, even rarer ones.

No one has ever seen Zhou Xin Zhou Xin on and on, nor has anyone seen his sorrow and lamentations after being hurt.

Even as he lost weight, Zhou Xin never frowned.

As if his body were cast in iron, Zhou Xin's Black Armor Combat Technique was filled with all sorts of incredible abilities.

But ever since he was injured, his grandson Wang Li, who had been left to his own devices, had come to visit Wang Haoran several times and had also mentioned some difficulties with the Black Armor Combat Technique, seeking guidance.

This gave Wang Haoran a vague idea.

Behind the glamour, Zhou Xin's life was not as easy as he had imagined.
