Wasteland Border Inspector

Chapter 167 Igniting the Eagle's Heart Flame, Activating the Flame Connection!
Wow.

The roller shutter door was pulled open from inside the shop.

It was past ten o'clock at night, and a cold wind carrying night dew blew into the shop, instantly dispelling most of the warmth from the beer I had just drunk.

Li Matai let out a burp, rubbed his round belly, and laughed: "That was satisfying! It's been so long since I've had such a comfortable meal. It's a hundred times better than nutritional supplements!"

"Is there a market for my product?"

“Yes, of course.” Li Matai’s eyes lit up. “Once the caravans start operating, I’ll definitely be the first big customer.”

"You'd better hurry up and think about how to develop Dongping Town."

Cheng Ye smiled and waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about the caravan. There are no problems with the parts and everything. I'll oversee the repairs and assembly. We'll start operations at a suitable time. As for manpower, I'll find the right people."

"it is good!"

After saying that, Li Matai took out his defense communication device, swiped his finger across the screen twice, and then suddenly looked up:
"That Master Tian, ​​if he's willing to come, would be a good candidate."

The voice just fell.

Cheng Ye's defense communication device chimed with a "ding," and a new message popped up.

Upon clicking, it turned out to be Master Tian's complete file, with three core evaluations prominently listed at the beginning:

[Tian Wuying (Ten-Year Resident)]

[Personal Strength]: S- (Dominant mutant ability user, ability preference: stealth/speed, combat power has declined significantly from its peak due to age and long-term ability suppression)
[Stability]: A+ (No serious incidents recorded in the past ten years; zero errors in vehicle dispatching during my tenure at the Public Works Department; no negative feedback from residents and neighbors)
[Threat Level]: C- (With spouse Xu Jingyun (a ten-year resident, currently a statistician at the Department of Civil Affairs), they have one daughter, Tian Lei (a materials dispatcher at the Department of Public Works, with no record of violations). The family ties are stable, and there is no tendency to leave Happiness City.)

Scroll down further.

Since Mr. Tian settled in Xingfu City in 18, his whereabouts, the time he entered and exited checkpoints, and even the list of supplies he brought back have been recorded clearly every year.

“The threat level of residents in the general buffer zone is C. If someone can be rated C-, it means that even if they have a past, they are now completely well-behaved.”

Li Matai explained, "You can approach this kind of person, but you can't force them. If you deliberately create a scenario to lure them in, it will only make them more wary, which will backfire. So, you can figure out how to win them over yourself; I won't give you any advice."

"Okay, I understand."

Cheng Ye nodded; he was used to figuring out the other person's temperament by slowly getting to know them.

But everyone has different methods. Li Matai is good at using data and files to assess risks. The two have different approaches, but the goal is the same.

Li Matai then pulled up a string of unmarked numbers and handed it over to show: "Write down this number. If you want to investigate someone's background in the future, just give them their name."

"This is?"

“An acquaintance in the inner city. Otherwise, we're not the fifth phase or the station manager, so we don't have that much authority to access resident files at will.”

"Thanks." Cheng Ye saved the number into the defense terminal.

Incidentally, he met Master Tian and Li Matai on the same day.

Unexpectedly, it was only today that he saw the other side of these two people hidden beneath their "ordinary" exteriors.

Li Matai is no ordinary, lazy prosecutor; he's a formidable character who hides his true abilities.

Master Tian is no longer simply a person in harmony with nature; he carries the lingering aura of extraordinary individuals from the old era.

"The new assessment starts tomorrow. You won't be able to return to the buffer zone for at least another month. Take care here."

Li Matai zipped up his coat, stepped towards the door, then suddenly turned back, his tone more serious than before: "Be careful, your father, Prosecutor Cheng Long, has offended quite a few people. Don't die out there."

"Take care too." Cheng Ye nodded.

In the darkness, Li Matai's figure quickly disappeared around the street corner.

Cheng Ye stood at the shop entrance, watching the figure disappear completely before thoughtfully pulling up the roller shutter.

He leaned against the door and let out a long sigh of relief.

I was deeply moved, and a thought suddenly came to mind.

Indeed, heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river, yet even the most outstanding individuals struggle to make progress.

"Chirp!"

As if in response to his sentiments, the little flame darted out of sight, chirped twice, then swayed a couple of steps like a drunken little lantern before suddenly unfurling its translucent wings.

Wow~
The tiny body spun in the air; could it fly?

However, the next second he lost his balance and crashed into the wall with a thud, then slowly slid down the wall to the ground like a lingering ember.

"Hey, you really want to help me relieve some of my stress, then eat more."

Cheng Ye smiled and took out the brazier.

The small flame immediately darted back into the brazier, and the orange-red light instantly brightened a bit.

Visibly, the dry firewood began to sway, and strands of transparent light slowly extended out, connecting with the past and transforming into streams of heat that seeped into its body.

After just a few inhalations, it was like a piece of warmed fire jade, radiating a gentle red glow.

Seemingly sensing the pressure on Cheng Ye's shoulder, it ate an extra lot this time, sucking up a full 2%.

It wasn't until its body became somewhat translucent that it swayed slightly, then plunged headfirst into the charcoal fire, becoming completely still.

"Hey!"

"The more anxious you are, the more patient you need to be."

Cheng Ye reached out and brushed away the steam rising from the brazier, gently taking the little guy back into his spirit space.

He murmured softly, like a sigh, unsure whether he was comforting the greedy little flame or trying to console himself.

Turn off the lights in the store.

Lying on the cramped folding bed, he pulled the covers up and his mind went through the whole day like a movie.

call.

suck.

Suddenly, a warm current rose from my heart, coursing through my veins to every part of my body, like soaking in freshly boiled water, instantly easing my tense nerves.

Is it a flame?
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to concentrate on sensing, the mental energy accumulated from the two information-related skills suddenly surged up.

An indescribable sense of fatigue, as if I had been running all day, even my thinking had become sluggish.

He tried his best to clear his mind, but more warmth surged from his spiritual space, enveloping his heavy brain, as if countless tiny warm hands were gently massaging his tense nerves.

My consciousness finally settled on the thought that "the flames seem to be helping me recover."

Cheng Ye turned his head to the side and fell into a deep sleep, his breathing quickly becoming even.

Between his eyebrows, a faint flame mark quietly lit up, seemingly in sync with the wild grass totem on his chest, and began to flicker in sync.

About half an hour passed.

Suddenly, everything returned to calm.

thump.

dong dong dong.
The alarm clock on the defense device rang precisely at six o'clock in the morning. Cheng Ye closed his eyes, fumbled to turn it off, and rolled over to continue curling up in the quilt.

The fatigue from the mental exhaustion seemed to linger, and even my eyelids felt too heavy to lift.

For the next hour, the alarm clock went off every ten minutes, and he kept turning it off.

Only when sunlight streamed through the gap in the roller shutter door, casting a long, thin patch of light on the ground, did Cheng Ye prop himself up on his arms and sit up, rubbing his heavy temples.

"My goodness, I haven't slept this much in ages."

I remember the last time I slept like this was when I went to a construction site for my first internship.

I was busy from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m., and when I lay down, I had to get up again at 6 a.m. It felt like I was dead.

However, after shaking his head, Cheng Ye suddenly froze.

Yesterday, when I mounted "Basic Mechanical Principles" and "Intermediate Mechanical Identification", the oppressive feeling that was like a stone pressing on my forehead was much lighter.

My mind was no longer dulled by oppression, and my mood was no longer filled with that indescribable depression.

"The energy consumed by ordinary skills is replenished by nutrient syrup."

"But the drain on my mental energy... could it really be that the flame helped me last night?"

Cheng Ye suddenly recalled the warm current that surged from his heart before he went to sleep last night, and the strange feeling of the emptiness deep in his soul being filled by the energy of the flames when he merged with the extraordinary.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately summoned the little flame from his spirit space.

The little guy floated to the pillow, not fully awake yet, and flapped his wings twice.

Cheng Ye was stunned.

Yesterday, the flame's soft, translucent little wings were covered today with a layer of fine, fiery red down, like a handful of crushed sparks.

Even more miraculously, a strand of golden hair in the very center of its forehead was slowly growing to a point, gleaming faintly in the morning light, making its originally lantern-like body appear more lively.

Is this the start of the next stage of growth?

"This growth rate is too fast, dozens or even hundreds of times faster than what humans perceive!"

Cheng Ye sighed softly, and as soon as his fingertips touched that strand of golden hair, the little guy shook his head.

But as if she hadn't finished digesting last night's "feast," she tilted her head and fell back onto the pillow, wrapped her little wings around her body, and fell fast asleep.

Cheng Ye smiled and shook his head, then suddenly had a thought and brought up his personal panel.

really.

As information-based skills are integrated, the state of the flame changes.

Overnight, much of the data on the page changed.

[Collector: Cheng Ye]

[Current Rank: Level 2 Rookie (24.7/100)]

Life Level: 1

[Skills: Heart Protection Fire, Wild Grass Physique, Basic Mechanical Principles (33.7%), Intermediate Mechanical Identification (42.8%)]

[Not yet unlocked.]

[Evaluation: The advancement in your life level means you possess a growth ceiling that surpasses that of native creatures. However, a ceiling is not the same as strength. Only through continuous training of your various abilities and breaking through the physiological limitations of native creatures can you truly reach a higher realm of power!]

【Heart Protection Flame (lv1; Extraordinary Talent)】

[Description]: Rumors
[Growth Value]: Lv1 (0.129%)

【Liaoying Symbiotic Ecosystem (Prototype)】

[Description]: After activating the ability
Current Status: Prototype
[Currently Shareable Skills]:
Blazing Eagle Heartfire (Lv0, Rare: When a symbiote's heart energy is excessively depleted, the Blazing Eagle can replenish a small amount of heart energy by consuming flames)
Flame-Eating Eagle (Lv0, Normal, can absorb a small amount of flame to heal minor injuries to itself or its symbiote)

Aerial Suspension (Lv0, Normal: Grants brief aerial suspension when falling from a great height, reducing fall damage)

[Currently shareable attributes]:

Speed ​​+1.19% (based on the symbiote's current state)
[Currently Shareable Capabilities]:
Firewood Power (Lv0, Normal, slightly increases resistance to high temperatures)
Charcoal Power (Lv0, Normal, slightly increases resistance to low temperatures)
"The level of information has increased dramatically, and the comments below have also changed."

"So, the improvement of one's level of life refers to the upper and lower limits, rather than reaching the ultimate limit immediately?"

Cheng Ye read through each item line by line, and each new change filled him with joy.

In addition to the increased information content, the growth rate of the Heart-Protecting Fire also jumped forward, exceeding 0.1%.

Although the increase was not large, it was still a real improvement.

Reflected in the symbiotic capabilities, the flame's various skills have also quietly upgraded, and it has even gained a new skill:
[The Flame of the Eagle's Heart]

"So it wasn't because it was greedy that it swallowed so many flames last night, but because it wanted to help me replenish my energy."

Cheng Ye couldn't help but glance back at the small flame on the bed, and a feeling of indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.

extraordinary.

It truly represents another realm of life forms!
I never expected that this little flame, still in its fledgling eagle form, would be so clever.

I can't even imagine how far it will go as it grows.

Also.

The previously unavailable shared attributes have now been enhanced.

Although the bonus was only a little over 1%, he was not disappointed. As long as the flame continued to grow, these values ​​would definitely increase. Little by little, they would eventually lead to a qualitative change.

As for ability, Cheng Ye didn't care too much.

It's normal that the two types of flames in the brazier are not very useful now, since they are both too common.

In the future, when he goes to the wilderness to find more fire, what he deserves will eventually come to him.

"It seems I made the right choice when I searched for 'heart-protecting fire'."

Cheng Ye nodded slightly, "By replenishing your mental energy with the flame, you can be a little more unrestrained when receiving information-related skills in the future, and speed up your learning."

Of course, that's what he said, but he also noticed the current state of the flame.

It's likely that a powerful skill like the "Heartfire of the Eagle" that replenishes mental energy must have a built-in cooldown.

Given the current growth rate of the flame, it is not yet possible to use it continuously.

In addition, if you go on adventures in the future, you should be careful when equipping information-related skills, so as not to be at a disadvantage when fighting others due to severe mental exhaustion.

However, according to the evaluation section, receiving information should also be considered a special kind of training.

If you keep at it, your brain might actually be developed and become stronger, just like your physical attributes!
Thinking this, Cheng Ye turned off the panel and simply put the flame back into the spirit space to rest.

He got up, took out six packets of nutrient solution and started heating them, and specially took two packets of the blue-bag special nutrient solution.

Although this nutritional syrup has a shelf life of one month, he has stockpiled too much, and if he doesn't drink it soon, half of it will probably expire and go to waste.

While the nutrient solution was heating up, Cheng Ye habitually took out his mobile phone and swiped the screen to see if there were any new messages.

The screen was completely blank, without even a system notification.

It seems the checkpoint really did put him, an "unemployed" trainee inspector, on a free-range list, saving him a lot of trouble.

Cheng Ye casually tossed the defense communication device onto the table and then took out the fire communication device hidden in the waterproof bag.

He activated the screen, then suddenly raised an eyebrow.

The download icon in the upper right corner of the screen has finally disappeared, replaced by a completion notification.

"Finally finished downloading!"

Cheng Ye's eyes lit up.

The activation time was initially estimated at 144 hours, but due to Happiness City's recent frequent adjustments to network resources, it has been dragged out to nearly 190 hours.

Fortunately, Xinhuotong can download files online stealthily late at night, sometimes up to 10% more per night, and sometimes up to 5%, so it wasn't a waste of effort.

He immediately took the badge from the bottom of the waterproof bag and gently affixed it to the back.

The screen lit up instantly, and a progress bar scrolled rapidly.

Three minutes later, the progress bar disappeared, but the interface remained unchanged. It still only showed three options: [Job Level Task], [Information Inquiry], and [Information Link].

But the previously grayed-out information search finally lit up.

"Hey, there's something here."

Cheng Ye hid the badge in his waterproof bag again, and while drinking the freshly heated nutritional drink, he clicked on the information query.

According to the requirements of the City of Fire and Protection for trainee inspectors, in order to be promoted, one must memorize all the materials required for the trainee period and score more than 95 points in the assessment to pass.

Clicking on it now is like opening a book, and sure enough, six new categories have appeared.

The left side of the book lists: [Source of Infection], [Infected Being], and [Mutant Organism].

The right side of the book is labeled: [Basic Science], [Basic Medicine], and [Basic Languages].

"Oh, so this is how the Torch Program trains prosecutors?"

Cheng Ye clicked on the "Source of Infection" category with great interest, and text and illustrations immediately popped up on the screen.

Unexpectedly, the first page contained the most common source of "Hulk" infection.
The descriptions of appearance, routes of infection, and weaknesses are not much different from the teaching materials of Xingfu City.

But when he glanced at the "Total Entries" at the bottom of the page, he found a whopping five hundred sources of infection.

This is almost a third more than the 350 skills that a trainee prosecutor in Happiness City needs to master.

He then clicked on the categories of infected and mutated organisms and found that the number of such organisms far exceeded the data for Happiness City.

Clearly, the City of Fire and Protection is larger in scale and covers a wider area, requiring inspectors to deal with more dangers and thus need to possess more comprehensive knowledge.

Apart from these, Happiness City lacks the basic knowledge required for training, while the City of Fire and Protection also has its own requirements.

Clicking into basic sciences reveals that it is divided into four major categories: mathematics, biology, physics, and chemistry.

Each page displays approximately 200 words, and the table of contents has 860 pages.

"Goodness, this is no small undertaking!"

Cheng Ye flipped through it a few times and found that it was basically textbook knowledge from elementary school to the second year of college.

It wasn't unfamiliar, but given his current level, he still needed some time to review it.

Basic medicine and basic languages ​​are much simpler. The former only covers basic battlefield medical knowledge, such as how to save lives in the most efficient way when encountering various injuries, without involving how to treat others. The latter covers the iconic languages ​​of various wasteland regions, with a total of sixteen categories, and you only need to learn one hundred common phrases for each language.

"If they have normal intelligence, it would probably take about a year for trainee prosecutors at Xinghuo to complete this step, which is about the same speed as Xingfucheng, but the training direction is completely different."

Cheng Ye stroked the back of the firewood tube, and gradually made a judgment in his mind.

Happiness City clearly places more emphasis on practical experience, requiring prosecutors to first hone their professional skills in "getting things done," while only having sufficient theoretical knowledge is enough.

But the training program is different. The amount of material to memorize during the internship period is almost half again as much. Obviously, the focus is on solidifying the theoretical foundation first, rather than emphasizing contact with the outside world.

However, these were just differences in assessment. Cheng Ye had no intention of leaving Happiness City, nor did he feel that the Torch would be more suitable for him.

Moreover, he knew very well that downloading nearly 200 hours of data could not possibly contain only assessment materials.

After browsing through the basic categories, he immediately turned his attention to the updated core functions.

Sure enough, a search box has appeared in the upper right corner of the information query page.

"Try searching for 'farmer'?"

Cheng Ye tapped his fingers on the screen, not holding out much hope, after all, he was just an intern at the moment.

The page only froze slightly, but it actually redirected, displaying a series of concise messages:

Codename: Farmer

[Category: Extraordinary Wishes Keeping]

Threat Level: S+

[Current activity area: Black Zones D2, D3, D4]

[Feature Capabilities: No permission to query at this time]

[Recommendation: If an encounter occurs, immediately send a distress signal through the alliance network. Do not attempt to fight back!]

A hand-drawn illustration is attached below the category:
An old farmer wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat stood on the edge of the field, holding a sickle in his hand, with a peaceful smile on his face, looking like an ordinary farmer.

"As expected, the trainee access still couldn't find the key information."

Cheng Ye enlarged the image, revealing simple hand-drawn lines. Apart from the general image of the "farmer," there were no details to explore.

He exited the interface and tried typing "Traveler" to see if there was any more information on the Fire of Life side.

The page refreshed instantly, and the information was much more detailed than what was available on "Farmer":
Codename: The Traveler

[Category: Extraordinary Wishes Keeping]

Threat Level: A-

[Current activity area: Shijiazhuang Province (information uploaded within the last month)]

[Feature Capabilities: No permission to query at this time]

[Recommendation: If an encounter occurs, please immediately seek help through the alliance network and maintain a safe distance of at least five kilometers!]

"Huh, the information here is updated in real time?"

Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes. The activity range was precise down to Shi Province, and the information uploaded within the past month was also displayed.

This means that although he is hiding and connected to the network in Happiness City, he can still download information belonging to Xin Huo.

To his surprise, the message was accompanied by three aerial photos and a 10-second video.

"Is this something a trainee prosecutor can inspect?"

Cheng Ye was somewhat bewildered.

Is it because Xinhuo has relaxed the permissions, or is it because Xinhuo Tong is not connected to the Xinhuo mainnet, thus unlocking some information instead?

He didn't have time to think about it and immediately clicked on the first photo.

The photo was taken from above, showing a person wearing a tattered scavenger's coat, carrying a bulging scavenging bag, running barefoot across the wilderness.

His hands were behind his back, the bottom of his scavenging bag was dragged and slightly deformed, his posture was just like a ninja in Naruto, but his movements were even faster than a ninja, and the gravel on the ground behind him was covered with fine marks.

Cheng Ye was familiar with the style of the scavenging bag.

It was exactly the same as the scavenger he saw in B4, and Zhang Daniu's backpack.

But for no apparent reason, the familiar figure made his breath catch in his throat, and he had a bad feeling.

The second photo was taken from a frontal angle, showing the pedestrian running from a distance.

Cheng Ye zoomed in on the image, and his body shuddered violently.

Sunken eye sockets, a greedy yet eerily sinister gaze, and a half-smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
He was very familiar with the face in the picture!
He had even seen and encountered it in his dreams on several nights, which made his heart pound.

Sure enough, it was that damned scavenger!
It's him!

Cheng Ye's fingers trembled slightly, his heart was inexplicably shaken, and the Firewood almost slipped from his hand.

He actually missed out on the legendary Wish-Keeping Extraordinary One?!
Moreover, the two made eye contact and exchanged fleeting glances.

“Master Tian has had contact with Shouyuan Chaofan, and I can say that I have had direct contact with him as well.”

Suppressing all his emotions, Cheng Ye clicked on the third picture, which was a magnified detail image.

The photo shows the "walker's" bare calves, his skin covered with black scorch marks, as if burned by a raging fire, but without scabbing over. The marks are embedded in the flesh, giving off an indescribable horror.

Cheng Ye stared at the scorch marks for a long time, but couldn't figure out what caused them, so he could only keep it in mind for now.

Finally, I clicked on that short video.

In the footage, the "walker" rushes into a building ruin at a speed like a missile.

Rumble.

The abandoned staircase collapsed under his foot, and the broken wall crumbled with a crash as he bumped into it.

Dust billowed up, but he didn't even change direction, charging straight ahead.

The moment he passed through the ruins, a visible white tornado rose up behind him, swirling up rubble and dust, creating a scene so bizarre it looked like something out of an American superhero movie.

After playing the video five times, with his eyes fixed on the scene of the traveler crashing into the broken wall and creating a tornado, a question suddenly popped into Cheng Ye's mind.

If the destructive power of the Traveler is A-, then how strong must the Farmer be, who is S+?
"It's also possible that threat level represents more than just destructive power."

He pondered to himself, then returned to the search box and this time typed in the four characters "守愿超凡" (Shouyuan Chaofan).

I'd like to see if I can find a category description and understand the criteria for judging threat level.

The page didn't redirect; only a gray warning message popped up:
[No permission to query]

"We can search for individual extraordinary beings, but not for broad categories."

Cheng Ye pondered, "Could it be that this information query function was originally intended for prosecutors to use in emergencies after encountering danger? To know who they are encountering and how to avoid it, rather than to have prior access to this high-level information?"

If that's the case, it would explain why trainee privileges allow access to the extraordinary materials of Shouyuan.

To verify this idea, he simply typed "superstarfish" into the search box.

As expected, the page quickly redirected, displaying detailed information:

[Code Name: Horned Starfish (Extraordinary Creature)]

[Classification: Marine genus, biotype]

[Intensity: C+]

Current status: Extinct

[Derivative source of infection: Not authorized to query at this time]

The accompanying illustration is a hand-drawn starfish.

Cheng Ye glanced at it, then took out the pendant to compare. It basically matched, especially the small metallic cap at the tip of each tentacle, which was exactly the same.

"It seems that this information search is reliable. All the known information can be matched. In the future, when we encounter unfamiliar supernatural beings, we will no longer have to guess. Taking a picture may give us accurate information."

The more you know, the more pain, fear, and dread you experience.

Perhaps living in "ignorance" like Wang Kang and Master Tian would bring more happiness.

However, this clarity of mind also had its advantages. After confirming that the scavenger he had encountered was indeed the Traveler, he felt a sense of relief.

Those recurring nightmares seemed to have an answer all at once, and the vague fear disappeared completely.

Even if he were to encounter the wanderer in his dreams again, he would only dream of how to slap that "old thing" to death.

Instead of imagining the other party suddenly turning into a terrifying monster, pouncing on him, and being crushed without any chance to fight back.

Next, Cheng Ye searched for two other known extraordinary creatures: the Flaming Eagle and the Whirlpool Turtle.

Unfortunately, the trainee's access is limited to knowing the name, strength, and a simple illustration.

Among them, the Flaming Eagle is C+, the same level as the Horned Starfish.

Whirlpool Turtle is B-, which is one level higher than both of them.

However, he also noticed that the hand-drawn illustration in the Blazing Eagle was not the eagle he had seen during the fusion.

It's likely that the eagle that fused with the primordial transcendental beings must have died long ago during the S4 eruption.

The symbiotic relationship between Liu Kun and the flames now are both products that later inherited a portion of the power of the original Blazing Eagle.

If it can continue to be strengthened, its future potential will definitely be much higher than C+.

The whirlpool turtle resembles a sea turtle in appearance, but differs in the whirlpool-like patterns on its back.

Since it's a hand-drawn sketch, the size and dimensions are unknown.

Besides searching for extraordinary information, Cheng Ye pondered and tried inputting mechanical basics.

The interface froze for four or five seconds, then a notification suddenly popped up:
[The 'Basic Science' assessment has not yet been completed; advanced courses are temporarily unavailable.]

Please check again after completing your internship assessment!

"Huh, there really is one?"

Upon seeing the pop-up notification, Cheng Ye's eyes lit up, his surprise overshadowing his previous confusion.

If the SparkPass app contains complete mechanical knowledge, then when learning more complex and advanced information-related skills in the future, I won't need to search for books everywhere to catch up on the progress; I can just look it up directly on it.

What's even better is that it can be used with those glasses, so you can study in any situation.

"Well, the internship assessment isn't difficult. Learning this old knowledge won't take too long."

"Getting 5000 certified photos is easy; you can start accumulating them today."

Cheng Ye suppressed his thoughts.

Compared to the internship advancement in Happiness City, he was confident that he could complete the task of Firewood within two or three months.

Before winter arrives, you can enter Phase 1 and gain more privileges.

However, the most important thing right now is to master the two information-related skills we've already found, and try to learn all of Sang Hezheng's level 2 skills before we go out to do contract work.

Besides.

The formation of the caravan, the assembly of vehicles, the training of community militia, the supervision of the commencement of pedestrian street construction, and the planning of the development of Dabo Town.
Cheng Ye made a list on the paper, with the paper filled with densely packed tasks.

Despite it being his off-duty time, his internship has become even busier.

But as he looked at the tasks, Cheng Ye smiled and didn't feel tired at all. Instead, he felt more and more energetic and purposeful!

What's that saying again? Only by working hard in secret, in a place unknown to others, can you one day amaze everyone.

Such stable development was exactly what he wanted.

In a blink of an eye.

That was five days later.

Inside Warehouse No. 12, Machinery Department.

Cheng Ye squatted on the ground, the wrench in his hand seemed to have eyes, precisely wedging itself onto each bolt.

Like a master craftsman who has been immersed in the craft for over ten years, his movements were fluid and seamless, without the slightest hesitation.

In just a few moments, he dismantled a dilapidated car that had just been driven in into a pile of refurbishable parts, even tidying up the wiring neatly.

The apprentices standing around stared wide-eyed, while the two Sang brothers at the back of the crowd were speechless, their mouths agape.

Fortunately, before the strange atmosphere could spread further, the defense communication device hanging on Cheng Ye's waist suddenly started to vibrate.

He put down the wrench, smiled at the apprentices around him, took off his oil-stained gloves, and pressed the answer button.

Old Sun's voice came through the receiver, filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Inspector Cheng, the chassis, parts, wiring harnesses, tires, everything you ordered has been moved into the buffer zone!"

　P.S.: The 8K arrived. I went out for dinner with friends on Saturday, sorry for the lateness~
　　P.S. 2: Please vote for me at the end of the month! I'll still be updating 10,000 words tomorrow. I've already reached 320,000 words this month, perfectly achieving last month's goal. I haven't been lazy!
