Wasteland Development Diary

Through the Cat God's perspective, Zhou Yi saw Great Buddha walking towards the hospital.

The residents of Emerald City were already accustomed to this alien employee, and they all looked up and waved to greet it.

Great Buddha also waved back.

It came to the outside of the inpatient department, bent down, and its Buddha head approached the window of a ward on the third floor.

Inside, on the hospital bed, lay Sha Lang, who was covered in tubes.

It had now returned to the appearance of a small red-haired monkey, its whole body wrapped in bandages and wearing an oxygen mask.

Seeming to sense something, Sha Lang勉强勉强 opened its eyes and looked out the window.

When it saw that it was Great Buddha, it was stunned for a moment.

Western Continent text appeared on the wall of the ward.

— Thank you for risking your life to help.

— Please take good care of yourself. I will continue my journey west and visit you again later.

Sha Lang struggled to raise a finger: “Don't, don't go… don't go…”

— Don't worry, with the Chairman here, I'll be fine.

Then it strode into the Dead Sea again.

Watching from the sidelines, Zhou Yi rubbed his face with his hands.

Great Buddha had a kind of mysterious confidence in himself, as if he could handle any problem it encountered.

This put a lot of pressure on him.

Now, in the company, three alien employees had evolved into light core bodies, and their consumption also increased accordingly.

The Elevated Bridge was a little better. Its inherent characteristic was infrastructure and transportation, and it needed more time to extend and improve its own system.

Maria focused on the medical field and also craved more energy blocks to accelerate her own improvement.

Great Buddha's ability was such that high risk also meant high reward. It confronted the Dead Sea disaster and directly confronted the Dead Sea Lord, and was also the first alien employee to be promoted to LV2 light core body.

Emerald City, Yalong Bay, and St. George's Church in the company were also waiting in line for promotion.

Energy blocks were very scarce.

Zhou Yi was waiting for the return of Fake Leg every day.

After waiting for a week, there was no news.

This seemed to be taken for granted.

In fact, Zhou Yi himself knew that now it would take Fake Leg a lot of effort to find new energy blocks.

The first time was the fastest, the second time was much slower, and the third time was even slower… The reason was that the location of the energy blocks was getting farther and farther away from the space bubble connecting the two worlds, so the entire search would also become more time-consuming.

Two more days passed, and suddenly someone ran to Emerald City and knocked on the door.

“Chairman, Chairman!”

It was Niger's voice.

“Black Husband, Black Husband is out!!! It's done, it's become very strong!”

Zhou Yi was overjoyed when he heard this.

He originally thought he would have to wait several years, but it only took about a year for it to complete its secondary development and evolution.

Zhou Yi and Niger rushed to Yalong Bay together.

On the Pan Tree, there was no longer a black sea urchin, only a bare branch was left. The entire Pan Tree also appeared somewhat dry and withered, as if it had consumed a lot of vitality.

Zhou Yi was a little worried: “Is the Pan Tree still alive?”

“It's alive.”

Niger pointed to the vines on the tree: “Ye Qing said that it has maximized the supply of the Pan Tree's main nutrients to Black Husband, and applied for a large amount of light amber, fertilizer, and water in order to pursue faster hatching. So it only maintains the most basic survival needs of the Pan Tree, which is a little faster than expected.”

“Now the Pan Tree is a little malnourished, but the tree has strong vitality. As long as it is replenished with a large amount of nutrients for a period of time, it can recover and produce Dead Sea Fruit.”

Zhou Yi was relieved.

The Pan Tree was one of the company's important specialties, and Dead Sea Fruit was of great significance for enhancing the physique of the company's employees.

He couldn't find Black Husband's shadow anywhere around him.

“Where did it run off to?”

Niger said: “I don't know either. Before, it came down from the Pan Tree and told Ye Qing that it had completed the evolution process. I ran to tell you as soon as possible.”

Tree demon Ye Qing continued: “Chairman, it said it would find you a good thing as a gift and will be back soon.”

Zhou Yi took this opportunity to learn more about the Pan Trees' situation.

The Pan Trees were steadily expanding, and they needed a lot of water, fertilizer, and light amber supplements.

“If you want to further enlarge them, the consumption will continue to double.”

Professional tree farmer Ye Qing said: “However, if the volume can be further increased and enter a qualitative change, then the Pan Trees will also bear more advanced fruits.”

“According to previous experience, the nutrition and quantity of Dead Sea Fruit are directly proportional to the volume of the Pan Tree itself.”

Zhou Yi smiled and said: “Just tell me directly, how much does it cost to take them one step further?”

“Chairman, each Pan Tree is expected to require an investment of 3 million light seeds, mainly in light amber, to complete the transformation.”

Zhou Yi couldn't laugh when Ye Qing quoted this price.

Planting trees is so expensive now.

He could be said to be short of money at the moment. Only when Mars becomes profitable can he consider promoting the transformation of a Pan Tree to see the effect.

He had to go to the Autumn Expo to attract investment and bring goods.

Just as Zhou Yi was thinking about various ways to make money, a dark shadow flashed in front of him.

“Chairman, your loyal Black Husband reports to you!”

Zhou Yi came back to his senses and looked at the black thorn in front of him.

Black Husband's appearance as a humanoid sea urchin had basically not changed, but its body surface was covered with a layer of black edges, as if a painter had outlined a thick shadow on its body surface.

“Chairman, this is [Slow Wave].”

Black Husband said: “Now I attach it to my body surface, and the affected area is controllable. Whether it is external attacks or consciousness intrusion, it will be restricted to slow movement in the outer layer, so that I can have more time and space to deal with it.”

“However, the current strength can only withstand those of the same level as me, that is, the weakest type of light core body. Stronger people can break through with a stronger instantaneous burst, and at that time, it can only play a role in buffering and reducing damage.”

“In addition, my [Insecticide] strength has also been increased to the light core level, which can cause high-energy destruction to the covered area in an instant! Make the vitality in this range rapidly decline!”

Zhou Yi raised his most concerned point: “Can [Flicker] be used continuously now?”

“Of course!”

Black Husband said proudly: “In the past, Flicker was an incomplete body because it could not provide sufficient energy and there was no real light core to leverage enough energy, so the coverage of Flicker was only within 50 meters. Now that there is a formed light core, the coverage has reached 1000 meters!”

The newest and most complete novels are available at Six/Nine/Book/Bar/First/Release!

“As long as it is within a radius of 1000 meters, I can carry out continuous teleportation, making it impossible for the enemy to lock my position. This is no longer speed, but energy state jump.”

Zhou Yi's face lit up.

This was a good thing.

A teleportation speed of 1000 meters per second is equivalent to a moving speed of 3600 kilometers/hour.

He finally had a high-speed vehicle!

Black Husband said a little reservedly: “Please rest assured, I will definitely play a leading role and show other employees the demeanor of the strongest employee! After all, I am the company's first light core body employee, and I will strictly demand myself!”

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment: “No, you are the sixth.”

“The… sixth?”

Black Husband didn't react for a while. After a moment, it became anxious: “Am I not the company's strongest employee? How is that possible! How could this happen? I clearly remember that you said before that there was no light core body, and I should be the first!”

“That was a year ago.”

Zhou Yi counted on his fingers and said: “According to the promotion order, the company's light core body employees are now Curling, Wuhu Elevated Bridge, Cat God, Leshan Great Buddha, Maria Hospital, and then you.”

“Oh no, there is also a Cat Dali on Mars, you are the seventh.”

Black Husband: “…”

It muttered to itself: “Why is this happening? I was clearly the first to start evolving… Why am I being overtaken by others…”

“What went wrong? In a year, I have fallen so far behind?”

Zhou Yi didn't know what to say.

A year ago, he did place high hopes on Black Husband and believed that it would be the company's first light core body employee.

As a result, he went treasure hunting with Xiao Fu and dug out the Crazy Traveler. Under the excavation of this high-dimensional civilization's experimental product on the mud tree world, the company unexpectedly started an accelerated mode.

He thought it was amazing in his heart.

Unknowingly, the company already had 7 light core body employees.

Things were getting better!

Black Husband fell silent.

Zhou Yi could only find a way to comfort him: “Among the light core body employees, only you have completed the evolution by your own strength. Other employees more or less rely on the company's investment in strategic-level non-renewable resources, or rely on special mechanisms and luck.”

“Only you have achieved the light core body achievement through your own efforts and development.”

“This is amazing!”

“Without investing many resources, you can reach the current stage. In the future, the company will continue to increase resource investment in you, and then you will definitely enter a period of rapid growth and accumulate a lot of knowledge. You have a great chance to become the future leader of the company's light core body!”

Black Husband asked: “Really?”

“Really.”

Zhou Yi said: “You have to be more confident and believe in your own strength and potential!”

“You're right!”

Black Husband immediately regained its fighting spirit: “Chairman, one day, I will definitely become the company's strongest employee!”

It was still very ambitious.

Zhou Yi smiled and said: “Come on.”

“By the way, Chairman, I went to find this thing, I hope you like it.”

Black Husband squeezed something out of its own thorn fruit shell and suspended it in front of Zhou Yi.

This thing looked like a wrinkled seaweed, about the size of a fist.

Zhou Yi took it in his hand. It was very light in weight, hard and flexible to the touch, and somewhat similar to plastic.

“What is this?”

“Black Thorn corpse.”

Black Husband said: “After becoming a light core body, I sensed that there is still this guy in the world. It is under a ruin in the west. Including me and the black thorns used by Niger, there are only three of us in this family.”

“Although it is dead, it still has an unknown seed preserved in its body.”

Black Husband slowly said: “In that seed, there are all kinds of abilities… It is difficult for me to accurately describe, it is like a huge arsenal. If it can be hatched and planted, you should be able to know the specific effect.”

Zhou Yi looked at the hard, seaweed-like black thorns in his hand.

A seed with arsenal characteristics?

This was the first time he had encountered it.
