Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 761

Chapter 761: Chapter 253: Contribution Vault, Primordial Extraordinary!

Looking back now, his initial desire to leave Happiness City and establish his own domain seemed incredibly naive.

Without resources, how could development be possible?

Once one occupies valuable resources, which Super Shelter City would sit idly by?

Maybe after developing successfully in Guang Province, joining Rainbow Light Alliance could be possible, but even then, it would still be under Rainbow Light’s control, not real freedom.

And staying in Happiness City, with the Cheng Family’s support, even if the family’s past wasn’t particularly glorious, it would still provide reassurance to the Elders and higher-ups.

As long as he doesn’t show intentions of running away, accumulating through three generations, he is undeniably “one of their own.”

Now that Contribution Points are in place, these hidden treasures will be available to him, saving ninety-nine percent of troubles.

Cheng Ye paused, refraining from questioning whether the yield from interrogating Yu Yong was enough to offset the cost of the Burning Leek.

Since Yu Erlan mentioned it, it meant he wouldn’t actually need to spend 15 million Contribution Points to buy this “leek.”

Even if the yield from interrogating Yu Yong wasn’t sufficient, as long as he demonstrated adequate research potential, this investment might still be worthwhile for the Institute!

Departing from the core control room, arriving at the first floor, Cheng Ye stood again before the picture of Cheng Wu being pinned to the ground and suddenly asked, “Has the Demon Eye Sponge been successfully contained?”

“Yes, it will be a key research object for the Institute in the coming period. We will try to decipher its various abilities and explore potential technologies to utilize,” Yu Erlan nodded in response.

“Has the corresponding Contribution Points been awarded to the checkpoint?”

“Certainly, the value of the Demon Eye Sponge is not low, 150,000 Contribution Points, we paid it in full to the checkpoint.”

Yu Erlan added, “Additionally, the 4 million Contribution Points for housing the Immortal Objects have been credited, along with several extra rewards…”

“150,000… 4 Million…” Cheng Ye’s eyes were dazed, calculating this way, the checkpoint almost didn’t spend any cost to establish the Institute?

And his individual contribution brought a one-time yield equivalent to the results achieved by 60 High-level Inspectors laboring externally for years?

“Don’t feel that this part of the yield is too much,” Yu Erlan explained with a smile, “Station Chief Ding rented Destruction Level Obsidian Battle Armor for you and Inspector Luokuke, each costing 500,000, totaling 1 million Contribution Points. Moreover, yours was heavily worn, requiring an extra 200,000 for repairs.”

“Building a dedicated logistics support platform for you was something Station Chief Ding insisted on, costing 150,000 Contribution Points. The Shrinking Earth Giant Louse inside you was not contained by an Inspector but purchased from Shelter City within the Firewood Alliance, priced at 500,000 Contribution Points.”

“The hospitalization costs for you Inspectors at Rebirth Medical, 130,000 for you, 90,000 for Luokuke, 100,000 for Garcia, and 20,000 for Wang Kang, totaling 340,000.”

“These add up to exactly 2.04 million. Additionally, Station Chief Ding also bought a treasure from me at the price of 50,000, presumably as a reward for the Destruction Level containment task for you…”

Seeing Cheng Ye utterly stunned, a hint of amusement flashed beneath Yu Erlan’s eyes.

She increasingly enjoyed using concrete figures to stimulate this Intern Inspector.

He… seems to be a money-grubber?

After all, both Cheng Wu and Cheng Long were indifferent to possessions, whereas Cheng Ye seems to defy the Cheng Family’s fine tradition.

“Oh, by the way.” Yu Erlan shifted her tone, “Elder Qian instructed me to give you three treasures, come with me.”

Returning to the elevator, they went to the Institute’s negative third floor.

The space here has yet to be fully developed; only a dozen empty buildings waiting for renovations.

“Without sufficient basic facilities, even if constructed, it serves no purpose, leaving it vacant.”

Yu Erlan shook her head, both walking into a large building painted with light green walls.

After a series of tedious identification verifications, they finally landed in a chilled small storeroom.

An entire wall stretching 8 meters long and 6 meters high was made into cabinets, lit by lights alongside.

In the middle, three definite black adhesive tapes separated it distinctly, labeled ‘Extraordinary,’ ‘Technology,’ and ‘Idealist,’ representing the three factions within Happiness City.

At a glance, most lights next to the cabinets were red, with only sporadic green ones.

The Extraordinary Faction had the most greens, Cheng Ye glanced, approximately twenty-seven.

Technology Faction had the least green, merely eleven.

Using the ‘Idealist’ label represented the Idealist Faction, ranking in the middle with eighteen.

“Treasures are rare; to this day, these are Happiness City’s final reserves!”
