Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 467 Hei Fu Awakens
Through the cat god's perspective, Zhou Yi saw the big Buddha walking towards the hospital.

The residents of Emerald City have long been accustomed to this alien employee and all look up and wave at it.

The Buddha also waved back.

It came to the outside of the inpatient department, bent its body, and placed its head close to the window of a ward on the third floor.

On the bed inside, lying there was Shalang with tubes inserted into his body.

It had now returned to its red-haired little monkey form, with bandages wrapped around its body and an oxygen mask on.

As if sensing something, Shalang forced himself to open his eyes and look out the window.

When it saw the giant Buddha, it was stunned for a moment.

The words from the Western Continent appeared on the wall of the ward.

——Thank you for risking your life to help.

——Please take good care of your injuries. I will continue my journey west and come to visit you later.

Sha Lang raised his finger with great effort: "Don't, don't go...don't go..."

——Don’t worry, I’ll be fine with the chairman here.

The red-haired monster seemed to have no idea what to say and soon fell silent.

The big Buddha clasped his hands together and bowed to his benefactor outside the inpatient department.

Then it took a big step and entered the Dead Sea again.

Zhou Yi, who was watching from the sidelines, rubbed his face with his hands.

The Buddha has a mysterious confidence in himself, as if he can handle any problem he encounters.

This puts him under a lot of pressure.

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

The viaduct is better, as its nature is infrastructure and transportation, and it takes more time to expand and improve its own system.

Maria focuses on the medical field and is eager to obtain more energy blocks to accelerate her own improvement.

Due to the Buddha's ability, high risk also brings high returns. It fights against the natural disasters of the Dead Sea and confronts the Lord of the Dead Sea. It is also the first alien employee to be upgraded to LV2 light core body.

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

Energy blocks are in short supply.

Zhou Yi waits for the return of his prosthetic leg every day.

After waiting for a week, there was no news.

This seems to be a matter of course.

In fact, Zhou Yi himself knew that it would take a lot of effort to find new energy blocks for the prosthetic leg.

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

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

"Chairman, Chairman!"

It was Nigge's voice.

"Heifu, Heifu is out!!! It's done, it's become very strong!"

Zhou Yi was overjoyed when he heard this.

I thought it would take several years to wait, but it only took about a year for it to complete its secondary developmental evolution.

Zhou Yi and Nige rushed to Yalong Bay together.

There were no more black sea urchins on the Pan tree, only a bare branch. The entire Pan tree also looked a little dry and withered, as if it had consumed a lot of vitality.

Zhou Yi was a little worried: "Is Pan Shu still alive?"

"living."

Nige pointed at the vines on the tree and said, "Ye Qing said that it has supplied Hei Fu with the main nutrients of the Pan Tree to the maximum extent, 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, and it is a little faster than expected."

"The Pan tree is a little malnourished now, but the tree is strong and resilient. It will recover after a period of large amounts of nourishment and can produce Dead Sea fruit."

Zhou Yi felt relieved.

Panshu is one of the company's important specialties, and Dead Sea fruit is of great significance in strengthening the physical fitness of the company's employees.

He couldn't find Heifu anywhere.

"Where did it go?"

Nige said: "I don't know either. It came down from the Pan tree before and told Ye Qing that it had completed the evolution process. I ran to tell you as soon as possible."

The tree demon Ye Qing continued, "Chairman, it said it found something good for you as a gift and will be back soon."

Zhou Yi took this opportunity to learn more about the situation of the Panshus.

The Pan trees continue to expand steadily and they require large amounts of water, fertilizer and amber supplies.

"If you want to make them bigger, the consumption will keep multiplying."

Ye Qing, a professional tree grower, said: "However, if the volume can be further increased and enter a qualitative change, then the Pan trees will also produce higher-quality fruits."

"According to previous experience, the nutrition and quantity of the Dead Sea Fruit is directly proportional to the size of the Pan Tree itself."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Just tell me, how much does it cost to make them go further?"

"Chairman, for each Pan tree, it is estimated that 300 million light seeds will be invested, with the main expense being light amber, to complete the transformation."

Zhou Yi couldn't laugh anymore after hearing Ye Qing's offer.

Planting trees is so expensive now.

I am currently short of money, and only after Mars makes a profit can I consider promoting the transformation of a Pan tree to see the effect.

The autumn All Things Expo must attract investment and bring in goods. Just as Zhou Yi was thinking about various ways to make money, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes.

"Chairman, your loyal Hei Fu reports to you!"

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

The appearance of the black lady sea urchin has basically not changed, but its surface is covered with a black edge, as if an artist had drawn a thick shadow on its surface.

"Chairman, this is [Slow Fluctuation]."

Hei Fu said: "Now I attach it to the surface of my body, and the affected area is controllable. No matter the external attack or consciousness invasion, it will be restricted to the outer layer and move slowly. This way I have more time and space to deal with it."

"But the current strength can only resist those of my level, that is, the weakest type of light core body. Strong ones can break through with a stronger instantaneous burst, and then it can only play the role of buffering and reducing damage."

"In addition, the strength of my [Insect Killer] has also been raised to the light core level, which can instantly cause high-energy damage to the covered area! It will cause the vitality within this range to rapidly decline!"

Zhou Yi raised the point that he was most concerned about: "Can [Flash] be used continuously now?"

"of course can!"

Hei Fu said proudly: "In the past, the flicker was an incomplete body because it could not provide sufficient energy and there was no real light core to pry enough energy, so the coverage range of the flicker was only 50 meters. Now there is a complete light core, and the coverage range has reached 1000 meters!"

"As long as they are within a 1000-meter radius, I can teleport continuously, making it impossible for the enemy to lock onto my position. This is no longer about speed, but about energy state jumps."

Zhou Yi's face lit up with joy.

This is a good thing.

Teleporting at a speed of 1000 meters per second equals a speed of 3600 kilometers per hour.

I finally have a high-speed car!

Hei Fu said with a bit of reserve: "Please rest assured, I will definitely set a good example and show other employees the style of the strongest employees! After all, I am also the company's first light core employee, I will strictly demand myself!"

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment: "No, you are the sixth one."

"The...sixth?"

Hei Fu didn't react for a while, and after a while he became anxious: "I'm not the strongest employee in the company? How is that possible! What's going on? I clearly remember you said before that there were no light nuclei, so I should be the first one!"

“That was a year ago.”

Zhou Yi counted on his fingers and said, "According to the order of promotion, the current employees of the company's optical core body are curling, Wuhu viaduct, Cat God, Leshan Giant Buddha, Maria Hospital, and then you."

"Oh, no. There is another cat named Dali on Mars. You are the seventh one."

Hei Fu: “…”

It murmured to itself, "Why is this happening? I was the first to start evolving... Why did others overtake me later..."

"What went wrong? I've fallen so far behind in one year?"

Zhou Yi didn't know what to say.

A year ago, I did have high hopes for Heifu, thinking that he would be the company's first photon-based employee.

As a result, they went treasure hunting with Suneo and dug up the Crazy Traveler. As this experiment of high-dimensional civilization excavated the Mud Tree World, the company suddenly entered the acceleration mode.

He thought about it and found it amazing.

Before we knew it, the company already had 7 photon-core employees.

It's getting better too!

Hei Fu fell silent.

Zhou Yi could only find a way to comfort him: "Among the Light Core Body employees, you are the only one who has completed the evolution by your own strength. The other employees, to a greater or lesser extent, have relied on the company's investment of strategic non-renewable resources, or on special mechanisms and luck."

"Only you, through your own efforts and development, can achieve the achievement of a light core body."

“That’s amazing!”

"You have reached your current stage without investing much resources. The company will continue to invest more resources in you in the future, and you will definitely enter a period of rapid growth and make great achievements. You have a great chance to become the leader of the company's optical core in the future!"

Hei Fu asked, "Really?"

"real."

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

"You're right!"

Hei Fu immediately regained his fighting spirit: "Chairman, one day, I will definitely become the strongest employee of the company!"

It is still very ambitious.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Come on."

"By the way, Chairman, I found this thing. I hope you like it."

Hei Fu squeezed something out of his spiky fruit shell and floated it in front of Zhou Yi.

The thing looks like a wrinkled piece of seaweed about the size of a fist.

Zhou Yi held it in his hand. It was very light, and felt hard and flexible, somewhat like plastic.

"what is this?"

"Blackthorn corpse."

Hei Fu said: "After becoming a light core body, I sensed that this guy still exists in this world. He is under a ruin in the west. Together with me and the Blackthorn used by Nig, there are only three of us in this tribe."

"Although it is dead, there is still an unknown seed preserved in its body."

Hei Fu said slowly: "The seeds have all kinds of abilities... It's hard for me to describe them accurately. They're like a huge arsenal of weapons. If we can incubate and plant them, we should be able to know their specific effects."

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

Seed with arsenal properties?

This is the first time I've encountered this.
