Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 411 Master

Chapter 411 Master (Happy Chinese New Year and auspicious New Year~)

It has been a month since I arrived in the Emerald City.

Shuzi originally thought that it might be difficult for him to adapt to life here.

Because everything about this place is so strange.

He was just an orphan living in the woods. Because he always hid in the trees, he was laughed at by other children and was named "Shuzi", which means he was the son of a tree.

Shuzi doesn't know his real name, who his parents are, or why he is like this. He has an innate tree-climbing skill and can climb up any tree with ease.

The trees made him feel safe, away from the Glimmers on the ground and the human traffickers.

His life consisted of climbing different trees and avoiding the same dangers.

But when he arrived in Emerald City, he quickly learned how to use the Goblet of Fire to make fire and cook, how to use the refrigerator to keep the room cool, how to go to the platform to take the train, and how to go to Building 8 to watch the animation "Samurai Crab Adventure" which was still being updated...

This was all much simpler than he thought.

Even if no one teaches you, you will know what is going on just by watching it twice.

He also went to Mushroom Forest Primary School.

The master only said: "Observe carefully and experience it with your heart."

Shuzi has never been to school, but he is curious about everything in school.

Mr. Taku, the physical education teacher, teaches a variety of interesting sports and competitions. The boys are particularly fascinated and hone their skills on the playground every day.

Chemistry teacher Liang can show various chemical reactions like magic. He has an electric cat named Assistant, who is also very friendly. Assistant often shows students fireworks-like arc eruptions or flying ball lightning.

Shuzi also made two friends.

One is Wang Tao, who is about the same age as him.

Wang Tao is 7 years old and is good at handicrafts. He can make all kinds of things with clay. The mushroom house, car, bridge, airship and electric cat all look lifelike.

He said: "I want to be the best engineer, what about you?"

Shuzi thought for a long time and said: "I want world peace."

"That's not your profession, is it?"

“That’s what I want to do.”

"You are such a boastful fellow."

Wang Tao has a strong desire to win: "It sounds more stylish than mine... No, I have to have an idea that can't be too bad. Let me think about it."

After thinking hard, he said, "I got it!"

"I want to build steel giants that can fight against the Dead Sea! They can clear the Dead Sea like sweeping away garbage, so that we can have a lot of land and don't have to worry about being attacked by the Dead Sea!"

The boy laughed out loud.

Shuzi later found out that Wang Tao's father was Wang Jun, the inventor who improved the second-generation refrigeration box.

Since Wang Tao's family lived in Steel Refining City, it was inconvenient for him to travel back and forth, so he moved directly to a family in Emerald City and studied in the primary school there. Every weekend, his parents would come to visit him.

The second friend is called Beta.

Beta is 11 years old this year. He has excellent grades in medicine and languages, and is also a programmer assistant in the program department. He has participated in a lot of practical cutting-edge development work and is a well-known genius in Mushroom Forest Primary School.

The boy with a prosthetic right arm always said, "What? I can't compare to those other two guys. They are the real geniuses. I am just making up the numbers. I could barely keep up with them in the past, but now I can't catch up with them anymore."

He was talking about two other students.

One of them is called Bai Twelve, a white smoke mushroom who works as an assistant in teacher Sun Chonglai's mushroom laboratory.

Today, the second generation of mushroom houses was created by Bai Twelve.

The first generation mushroom house was modified from the giant mushroom. Its growth was difficult to control. Some were tall, some were short, some were fat, and some were thin. It all depended on luck.

The second-generation mushroom house is a hybrid of giant mushrooms and some kind of fungus. It is built through a large amount of spore collection, single spore separation and mating experiments.

The official name of the new giant mushroom is [Yellow Giant Mushroom]. The umbrella mushroom is brown-yellow, which is different from the red-top giant mushroom in the past.

It has two biggest advantages.

The first is that the size can be customized. The size of the final growth can be determined by the number of mycelium pairs. It can be a large mushroom house shaped like a fortress, or a two-story house for one person to live in, with a wider and more habitable interior environment.

Second, it is not afraid of insect pests. The first generation of mushroom houses lost their toxins, so they were bitten by insects after a long time, which is the same problem as wooden houses. However, the giant yellow mushroom retains a trace amount of toxins, which is fatal to ordinary insects but will not harm the health of residents.

Shuzi lives in a second-generation mushroom house.

After listening to Beta's explanation, he secretly cut off a piece of mushroom one day, cooked it and ate it, and sure enough, the person was fine.

In addition to Bai Twelve, there is also a very famous Chen Ji.

Chen Ji upgraded the ordinary D-level plankton heart to C-level and developed plankton cultivation technology, which has now been promoted on a large scale internally.

Compared to these two, Beta does seem a little ordinary.

Even though he has excellent grades, he is still a student.

Beta is talkative and can quickly get along with anyone.

"Shuzi, what kind of people are the mechatronic monks? They also need light seeds, right? I heard that it was their earliest thoughts and knowledge that formed the wisdom cloud of Snow County. What kind of place is that?"

He was curious about the monks.

Shuzi felt a little embarrassed because he knew nothing either.

He hid in a tree to avoid the slave traders who were catching children below. He met Master Huimai who was passing by. After being rescued by the master, he followed the master on the journey.

"I see... The company is also encouraging everyone to go out and see the world. I'm old enough, but I don't know if I can be selected this year."

Beta touched his prosthetic arm and said, "Snow County is one of the largest electromechanical cities. There must be a lot to learn there. I want to go there and see for myself. I want to learn something good from there and bring it back to Emerald City."

"Shuzi, is there any place you want to go?"

This question asked him.

Shuzi thought for a long time and said: "I want to go to heaven."

"Heaven? The legendary place where everything is there and no one can die?"

"Ah."

“Does Heaven Really Exist?”

Shuzi said: "I don't know, maybe it exists, but it should be difficult to find."

The master said that heaven can only be found through arduous exploration.

"We want heaven! Why don't we just build one ourselves?"

Wang Tao said with great energy: "Just like the chairman, who knew about Sand Harbor in the past? But the Wasteland Company was established, and we had the Emerald City, and then we had gliders, electric cats, and we even created land [Moon Landing Area] in the Dead Sea. Now this place has become completely different!"

"These were things that we would never have dared to think about in the past."

In the past, Shuzi wanted to stay on the tree forever and never come down.

In the trees, you can enjoy the wind and the sun, and it is safe most of the time. It may be the place closest to heaven.

The Emerald City provides another answer, and perhaps it is very close.

Shuzi likes attending classes in school. Everyone studies seriously and the teachers are responsible and focused in teaching, giving inspiration to everyone and encouraging every student to have their own ideas.

Students get three free meals a day, including bread, meat, fruit, and even refrigerated milk sent from the distant Songbei area.

Shuzi felt that this was completely a different world from where he had lived before.

The children there picked up excrement, branches and hay everywhere in exchange for mushrooms. If they were unlucky, they could only eat tree bark and grass roots, or be captured and sold as slaves.

My peers here, however, can sit in a clean and bright classroom without worries about food and clothing, receive knowledge and experience, and think every day about going to that laboratory to be an assistant, using a reinforced controller to talk to the electric cats, or going to the restaurant after school to have a big meal with the scholarship awarded by the school...

But just a few years ago, this place was no different from my hometown.

Shuzi didn't understand.

Why is this?

Why is there such a radical difference?

Because of the omnipotent chairman?
Or rely on those huge and majestic alien creatures from the Age of Gods?
Or is it like Wang Tao said, if there is no heaven, we create it? Is it a miracle accomplished by this fearless momentum?
Shuzi couldn't think of the answer.

Thinking was not an easy thing for him.

He just got a little clearer.

Anyone who has actually been to the Emerald City will quickly fall in love with it and find it difficult to say anything bad about it.

A large number of people migrated here, and even if they could not find a job here temporarily, they would try every means to stay and wait. As long as they became employees of the company, they would not have to worry about food and clothing, and they just had to work hard.

Shuzi is only afraid of one thing here.

Electric cat.

Those electrical lives that come and go without a trace are dangerous and mysterious.

They occasionally appear on the streets, patrolling in the shape of arc cat heads, which is also one of the jobs of the electric cats. Most students will come over to say hello, and although it is forbidden to touch the electric cats when they are working, they will still chase and watch.

But the tree was very scared.

When he saw the electric cat, he felt creepy all over and had a deep-seated fear.

One day, Shuzi climbed up the tree and was looking into the distance - over there were 8 mysterious Pan trees. They all grew in the Dead Sea and were the company's key confidential species and could not be approached.

Suddenly he heard a slight crackling sound.

Shuzi suddenly felt paralyzed all over, unable to control his body, and fell from the tree.

It was only when he was lying on the ground that he noticed that there was an electric cat on the tree.

A stocky woman ran over. "Hey, are you okay? I didn't notice you were in the tree. I was testing the cat at work... I didn't expect it to get too close to you. Are you hurt?"

"My name is Aqi, and I work in the manufacturing department. The clothes you're wearing...are you a student at Mushroom Forest Primary School? Don't move, I'll carry you to the hospital right now!"

As she said this, she was about to pick up the tree.

Shuzi waved his hands hurriedly and stamped his feet to indicate that he was fine.

"I'm fine, really fine, I'm going back first."

After saying that, he turned and ran towards the school.

The woman's voice came from behind: "Slow down, don't climb so high... Kids nowadays have great physical fitness, they can fall from more than ten meters and be fine..."

After running a few steps, Shuzi ran head-on into Beta.

He was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

"The manufacturing department and the programming department are testing the modem here. I'm a programmer's assistant, and I'm working here."

Beta whispered, "Hurry up and twist your foot so no one can see it."

Shuzi looked down.

There was a big part of his right calf that was crooked, and the sole of his foot had shifted significantly to the left from facing forward. No wonder he felt a little crooked when he ran. He quickly lowered his head to tighten the bones inside and adjusted the direction and angle.

"And on my hands."

Beta pointed at the back of Shuzi's right hand.

The skin there was worn away, revealing the metal skeleton and some cables inside.

It's summer now, and summer school uniforms are all short-sleeved, so this one can't cover it up at all.

Beta took out a roll of bandage from his pocket and bandaged the wound.

"Okay, this way it won't be visible from outside. No one will know that you are a mechatronic life form."

"……Thanks."

Shuzi asked, "You knew this long ago?"

"No, I just found out now."

Beta picked his nose with his fingers: "No wonder you are so afraid of electric cats."

"I don't know why you want to disguise yourself as a human, but it's best to avoid getting hurt as little as possible, otherwise you'll be exposed quickly."

"Why help me?"

"It's no big deal. We are friends. I have to go to work. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Beta hurried forward with his bag on his back.

……

One month full.

The master said, "It's time, wake up."

Shuzi suddenly felt a flash of lightning and thunder in his head, as if many things appeared out of thin air.

After a long time.

Shuzi slowly opened his eyes.

It brings back the memory.

Hui Mai said respectfully, "Master, how do you feel about this reincarnation?"

Shuzi was silent for a moment: "Emerald City is a wonderful place. Zhou Yi treats all ethnic groups equally, which is amazing. I have learned a lot."
