Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 778

Chapter 778: Chapter 258: Standardized Rules, the Celestial Essence Community Charging Ahead! (Part 2)

“Really?”

Cheng Ye glanced in the direction he pointed, then turned with a smile and asked, “Kang, you didn’t ask today why I didn’t disclose the specific plan for Dapo Town to Hou Genbao, but only told him to go back and think about it?”

“Isn’t this the test that Brother Cheng set?”

Wang Kang turned his head, smiled, and shared his judgment, “If they dare to follow us and take risks without knowing all the details, then even if they encounter danger in Dapo Town, they probably won’t retreat in fear. But if they only move after knowing all the details, contemplating thoroughly, then they are no different from those seeking stability in Celestial Essence Community, and may not withstand the various challenges of building a satellite city.”

“Not bad, you’ve got something going on now, kid.”

Cheng Ye sighed inwardly, surprised that Wang Kang’s growth exceeded his expectations.

It seems that the risky environment is the best way to train someone; more than ten days in Dapo Town are far more meaningful than months in the buffer zone.

Once the light energy equipment was unloaded, the charging value was still far from enough to extract several features, so it had to be temporarily shelved, and dealt with tomorrow.

And starting tomorrow, a series of complicated affairs await Cheng Ye’s attention.

Among them, four items are most critical:

Firstly, is to go to the checkpoint to report.

He needs to organize the entire process of collecting Immortal Objects into a detailed report and complete the related information about Demon Eye Sponge, submit it to Happiness City, and upload it to the Fire Alliance. This is one of the core responsibilities as an Inspector, and can’t afford any delay.

Secondly, is to visit the residents rescued from Dapo Town.

Now more than ten days have passed, those residents who only suffered from the Immortal Objects’ spiritual contamination should recover better than him and will soon be able to return to Dapo Town to continue participating in the satellite city’s construction.

However, before that, the promised rewards must be distributed, at the rate of one hundred Happiness Coins per person, which amounts to a total expenditure of one hundred thousand Happiness Coins, quite a significant expense.

Thirdly, is the budget application for the satellite city.

The funds promised by the Elder still require him to personally go to the Public Works Bureau to handle the formalities to get them credited to the account, and the submitted material applications also need some time for approval, so they must be prepared in advance to avoid delaying subsequent construction progress.

Fourthly, is the preparation for the external assignment.

Whether it’s the rank requirements for the Collector or the need for equipment, talent, and resources.

Once the construction in Dapo Town enters a stable phase, naturally it’s time to venture into the Wilderness and Rainbow Light before winter sets in, to gain more knowledge and explore more resources and opportunities.

In addition to these, there’s coordination of personnel in various aspects, recruitment from Yongxing Community, the second batch of refugees, the establishment and regulation-making of various functional departments in Dapo Town…

Just going through these matters in the mind is enough to cause a headache.

“Besides Luokuke and Wang Kang, it’s time to bring other Inspectors into my team.”

Cheng Ye pondered silently.

Currently, he can still lead Dapo Town’s affairs single-handedly, but once he officially takes office as the stationmaster of Yueye Station, having no other Inspectors to share the work is definitely a big problem.

He can’t possibly stay at the duty post of the checkpoint every day, personally verifying the refugees, can he?

“Troublesome. Hopefully, this time during the external assignment, I can recruit some talent; if I directly poach some from the checkpoint, Old Ding might not agree… But when I meet him tomorrow, I can try to test the waters; if he can allocate me a batch of personnel, that would be perfect.”

Cheng Ye thought, finding it somewhat amusing.

Back then, Cheng Wu poached a batch of high-qualified Inspectors from the checkpoint, leaving the checkpoint debilitated.

Cheng Long then took the core members of the Eastern People out rashly, ultimately sending them to their deaths, causing an imbalance within the station.

And now, as he is about to take office at Yueye Station, he has his sights set on recruiting personnel from Happiness City’s checkpoint.

This familiar operational path, Ding Yishan will surely find some kind of “familiarity” in it.

“Kang, I’m going to visit Sister Luo later, do you want to join me?”

“No Brother Cheng, I plan to go home and rest for a while first, then find Director Miao.” Wang Kang shook his head, with some anticipation in his eyes, “I feel… my Martial Body seems close to breaking through after the last infection.”

“Alright, keep it up! Tomorrow morning I’ll go to the checkpoint to report, and in the afternoon, I’ll handle the budget issue; you can take a good rest for a day, trim your energy.”

Cheng Ye encouraged him.

The two parted ways at the pedestrian street corner. Cheng Ye first went to a small shop, picked up more than ten cans of fruit and vegetable, and headed to the parking lot at the back of the community.

These supplies were originally planned to be stocked for winter survival, but plans never catch up with changes.

Now that the surroundings of Happiness City are open for planting, these once rare items will soon reappear in residents’ lives.

However, Happiness City probably doesn’t have enough seed reserves; this transaction with Fire Alliance might be another huge deal.

“Research on mutated plants should also be prioritized; there’s much operational space for feature extraction…”

“The Immortal Cave beneath Dapo Town is also a great place; planting some rare plants there would be both secretive and relatively safe, but building underwater would be very difficult, and the internal environment without Immortal Objects remains unknown.”
