Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 796

Chapter 796: Chapter 263: Eye of Conviction, Search Lv4!_3

There is a compatibility between people, depending on their ways of handling things, level of vision, perspective of thinking, and many indescribable traits.

If the philosophies of the two could be materialized at this moment, an invisible line of connection would certainly form quietly between them.

If the previous cooperation was mostly driven by interests and inexplicable expectations, then from this moment on, their philosophies truly align.

However, it is not entirely without a way to measure it.

Cheng Ye subconsciously opened the panel for a glance, and indeed, Matthew Lee’s cooperation degree had silently risen to 100%.

And a prompt that had been seen before appeared again.

[Matthew Lee, 100%, Fully Open]

[Searchable Scope: Information, Items, Skills Lv1~Lv4]

Fully open!

It turns out that this level can be achieved by stacking cooperation degrees and mutual trust!

Surprised, Cheng Ye also felt somewhat astonished, as he originally thought the first person to completely trust him would be someone like Wang Kang or Long, who were extremely reliant on him. He never expected it to be the Third-stage Inspector, Matthew Lee.

Unfortunately, on the bare panel, Matthew Lee’s highest skill was only Lv4.

Considering his unremarkable strength, a quick search is likely to yield ordinary talents and skills.

“Since the Extraordinary Seed can be consolidated for my use, it will definitely be available for others in the future. There’s no rush on strength matters.”

Cheng Ye pondered, not caring at all about Matthew Lee’s martial power.

Even the strong Elders, those Extraordinary individuals, depend on Shelter City for survival, and ordinary people are precisely the core of building this protection system.

However, since it was his first time meeting the demand for searching Lv4 skills, Cheng Ye decided to give it a try after a change of thought.

The charging value was still insufficient, only three hours had passed, and he would need to wait another hour to fully charge 480 degrees of electricity to meet the demand for a Lv4 skill search.

On the other side.

After reflecting, Matthew Lee looked wistfully at the two large warehouses and said, “It’s a pity that all my equipment and machines, as well as the industrial system I painstakingly set up, have wasted so much money, and now they’re completely useless.”

Since he had already decided to develop new territories, making workers do regressive manual production would only lead to dissatisfaction on both sides.

It’s better to start preparing in advance before formal orders are issued.

Even if it’s just to let the residents conserve energy and build up strength, they can gain a first-mover advantage when orders are given.

“It’s not a pity,” Cheng Ye smiled and suggested, “I haven’t started industrial construction on my side yet. How about I have trucks take all your equipment and production lines to Dapo Town, and in return, I’ll exchange for a batch of brand-new materials for you to develop new territories?”

Seeing Cheng Ye’s mischievous smile, Matthew Lee paused for a moment and then also smiled:

“You’ve said so much, are you planning to acquire my two production lines on the cheap?”

“No way.” Cheng Ye couldn’t help but laugh, “I’m worried that if you continue producing substandard brands, it wouldn’t be surprising if one day someone came knocking at your door with bad intentions. When I visited other Satellite Cities this morning, the complaints were rampant, but fortunately, Lei Hu took the blame for you.”

“Now, the defective products you produced have been distributed to the Low-Level Inspectors, helping Dongping Town get started. If you suddenly quit, no one will say anything, but Lei Hu will definitely be the first to come for you.”

The vivid imagery of the comment made Matthew Lee imagine the inspectors cursing and Lei Hu rushing over to question him, causing him to shrink his head instinctively, his gaze shifting towards the South District managed by Song Hai: “He knows those tools were manufactured by me…”

“Are you planning to get rid of witnesses then?”

“No,” Matthew Lee said with some difficulty, “I’m about to start developing new territories. Shouldn’t we inform Song Hai? If he finds out later that we knew in advance but kept it from him, he might not hold a grudge against me, but if he does against you…”

“No need,” Cheng Ye shook his head and said calmly, “He’s different from you; it’s impossible for him to abandon construction to develop territories.”

Not only Song Hai, but all the Satellite Cities Cheng Ye had visited in the morning did not yet qualify for territory development.

The reason is very simple, the prerequisite for developing territories is to meet the basic needs of the residents; the framework of food, clothing, housing, and transportation must be built first.

Dongping Town was among the first batch of Satellite Cities, and Matthew Lee had used modular housing designs, which now allow residents to rest at any time and conserve energy.

But in other Satellite Cities, the large construction sites had already expanded, and materials were in place. The construction must be completed before autumn ends, otherwise, dragging it into winter would be impossible to endure for those long three months.

Additionally, there is a crucial issue.

“The details of territory development haven’t been determined yet—how to reward, ensure safety, and coordinate with the legion—these all require careful discussion.”

“My suggestion is not to rush into action. As the saying goes, ‘Raise an army for a thousand days, and use them for an hour.’ For now, instill the ideals of territory development in the residents, teach them emergency handling in case of danger, which is far more efficient than rushing out, blindly clearing land, and getting entangled when facing danger.”

Matthew Lee nodded repeatedly, finally adding, “I’ll listen to you.”

With that, the two of them simply walked to the temporary checkpoint at the big iron gate of the town, sat inside a small bungalow, and began discussing various details of territory development in depth.

After all, having personally experienced the great territorial development of the previous era, Matthew Lee’s experience is quite valuable.

Cheng Ye nodded from time to time, memorizing important information in his mind, gradually forming a systematic thought process.

Those practical details that the likes of Forbes were dismissive of discussing, Matthew Lee held nothing back here, telling everything he knew.

Until the two were parched from talking, their brains overwhelmed with information, they stopped tacitly.
