Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 751

Chapter 751: Chapter 250: Resource Search, Special Harvest

Resources?

Suddenly, the thought turned without reason, and Cheng Ye immediately associated it with the new “Resource Search” entry on the Sharp Investigator route.

Speaking of which, ever since unlocking this feature, he had silently tried it many times.

Unfortunately, whether it was Cui Qiao, the deputy director of Rebirth Medical, other medical staff, or Luokuke, the four guards who escorted him out of the city, or Wang Kang, Lin Xu, and others…

No one had the “resource” search entry on their panel; this permission wasn’t open at all.

No one had a resource search entry; this permission wasn’t open at all.

This inevitably made him skeptical that the newly added feature of the Sharp Investigator route might take a long time before it could be truly utilized.

But now, with Yu Erlan mentioning the word “resource,” he felt a stir in his heart. On the surface, he pretended to fall into thought, but in reality, he quietly opened his personal panel.

The first thing that caught his eye was compatibility.

To his surprise, Yu Erlan had a whopping 31% compatibility.

Could it be the credit of bringing back the Immortal Objects?

It has to be said, this deputy director of the institute is far more generous than those Elders, not lingering on an awkward single-digit compatibility.

Scrolling down, the searchable entries were clearly listed:

[Yu Erlan, 31%, Searchable Range: Intelligence, Items, Skills (Lv1; Lv2), Resources (Lv1)]

“Hey, the resource entry really showed up!”

Cheng Ye was secretly delighted, but upon further thought, it seemed quite logical.

If even a core figure like Yu Erlan didn’t have resource search permissions, he really wouldn’t know where to find clues about “resources.”

However, he didn’t rush to trigger the search, instead closing the panel and looking up to ask:

“Tan Ming previously gave me two runes, one being a Vital Rune, and the other a Withered Rune. This Withered Rune can draw power from vitality to transform into the Blood Shadow Corps. Is the ‘resource’ you mentioned referring to things like vitality?”

The rune, the Elders have already seen; it’s not a secret.

Regarding the rune’s capabilities, significance, and usage costs, backed by Happiness City, he naturally doesn’t need to explore on his own but should heavily utilize Shelter City’s information to help him grow quickly.

Moreover, these are high-value pieces of information, collecting more of them greatly aids in enhancing one’s rank.

“Of course,” Yu Erlan affirmed, “the ‘resource’ I mentioned is essentially a product under routine rules. Beings in the Control State use these products to create new rules, but the prerequisite for usage is first being aware of their existence, meaning precisely perceiving the form of these resources under routine conditions.”

After speaking, she seemed to realize her explanation was somewhat abstract, furrowed her brows, and was about to offer a more straightforward explanation when Cheng Ye interrupted with a raised hand:

“No need to elaborate, I understand.”

“Just like when I want to utilize the power of vitality, I must first see the existence of vitality, then gather them out, and only then convert them into energy for creating the Blood Shadow Corps, right?”

“Yes, that’s exactly the idea!” Yu Erlan immediately nodded.

“So, does that mean to gather such resources, one must either reach the Control State or have a rune?” Cheng Ye pursued the topic further, discreetly observing Yu Erlan’s reaction.

“Ha.”

Yu Erlan let out a meaning-laden chuckle, neither directly affirming nor denying, instead shifting the focus to underlying concerns, “Part of the reason for the current Wasteland situation is precisely due to the Extraordinary individuals. Those resources used to rewrite rules continuously deplete the inherent reserves of this planet, with barren lands, harsh environments, and scarce resources being nasty outcomes of such depletion.”

“Moreover, the wider and stronger the range of rule impacts, the more explosive the demand for resources will become. Most of those from the past era fought endlessly over these ‘casting resources’, which eventually led to disaster.”

Listening to Yu Erlan’s description, Cheng Ye no longer pursued further, but a sense of bleakness arose in his heart.

The “resource” search entry appeared on her panel, pointing to only two possibilities:

Either she is a strong individual in the Control State herself, or she, like him, was granted the belief by a strong individual, enabling temporary use of rune rules.

Which would it be?

Cheng Ye was secretly astonished, refraining from jumping to conclusions, instead silently reopening the panel.

The current charging value has already grown to 800 units. Despite being under full surveillance at Rebirth Medical these days, he didn’t dare continue charging, and the current charging progress remains at 50%. However, searching for a Lv1 skill only requires 10%, and even an Lv2 skill needs only 15%, still quite ample.

He selected the Lv2 skill search without hesitation, aiming directly at the person in front of him, perhaps the strongest he’s seen aside from the Elders.

Lines of characters flashed by, Cheng Ye didn’t immediately focus on examining them, instead pretending to continue observing the Undetermined Fox in the corner, maintaining surface calm.

Only when the panel fully loaded the search results did he quietly shift his attention over.
