Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 818

Chapter 818: Chapter 269: Core Authority, a Wave of Fiefdoms!

Ding Yishan stared intently, completely ignoring Harlem’s slightly agape expression beside him, and asked in a deep voice:

“So, do you think now, the next new era is about to arrive?”

“Of course, there’s no doubt about it.”

Cheng Ye immediately nodded, “If this doesn’t count as a sign of the next era, then what does?”

Inspectors have all gone out to construct the satellite city, and Happiness City is already expanding 200 kilometers outward.

At this juncture, the mess left from the previous era will naturally surface one after another.

And once these troubles are completely sorted out, Happiness City will naturally step into the next era and fully focus on development.

“Very well, then I’ll take this as the declaration of your duties you’ve brought to me…”

Ding Yishan nodded with satisfaction, his body leaning slightly forward, and fumbled out a piece of hard card paper from beneath the wide office desk.

This paper was clearly prepared in advance, not only marked with the exclusive seal of the station chief but also signed by Deputy Chief Harlem, the two duty station chiefs, a bunch of Fifth-Phase and Fourth-Phase stamps, and even Zhou Changhai’s stamp was prominently listed, with full procedures scarily complete.

As for what was recorded, Cheng Ye hadn’t yet seen, and Ding Yishan had already gently pushed the card forward, saying:

“Alright, among the four directions you mentioned, management ability is actually the least significant aspect. If one day, you can master the other three abilities to the extreme standard you’ve described, even making me your deputy wouldn’t be a problem, would it?”

“As for the Starship, Zhou Changhai’s rebellion, and the issues with the Security and Integrity Bureau, you don’t need to concern yourself. They’re just minor troubles. How can we talk about entering the next era of Happiness City without resolving these underlying conflicts? Just continue with your work, whether directing the subsequent construction in Dapo Town or going on fieldwork to broaden your experience, the inspection station won’t impose any more restrictions on you. For any needs, you can directly apply to Mu Shuang.”

Saying this, he paused, his eyes becoming exceptionally solemn: “Just one thing, I hope you remember, if one day, you also choose to defect from Happiness City, then I hope you leave honorably as a Border Inspector, not as a regular inspector merely bearing the Cheng Family name, fleeing chaotically like a lost dog such as Zhou Changhai!”

With that, Ding Yishan turned his chair, gazing at the brightly lit inspection station outside the window, saying no more.

The card covered with numerous seals lay quietly on the desk, like a silent promise, also a heavy expectation.

Clearly, he had no intention of saying more, nor did he want Cheng Ye to know more about the upcoming plans at the inspection station.

Whether the Starship or the Security and Integrity Bureau, he need not intervene.

The inspection station has been established for thirty-three years, having undergone seven generations of station chiefs. To remain standing till now, it naturally won’t collapse suddenly due to the defection of a Fifth-stage Inspector.

In a broader time frame, this is just a minor setback, a necessary internal reshuffle.

Cheng Ye picked up the card as Jiang Chuan quickly stepped forward to open the door for him.

Before leaving the room, he glanced back at Harlem, this stern intern instructor, the leader of the Westerners inspectors, and a key figure advocating for the east-west rivalry within the inspection station, still with a slightly stunned expression, clearly not recovered from the earlier conversation.

“A new era is about to begin.”

Cheng Ye strode out the door, leaving everything behind him behind.

As the door closed behind him, the sound of a teacup shattering to the ground came from inside, and faint sounds of argument were also sealed within.

But by the time he reached the first floor, he could no longer hear a sound from behind.

The east-west split led by Harlem was finally about to come to an end. From the moment Ding Yishan asked whether the new era had arrived, it meant he had decided to end all existing internal friction models.

“Station Chief Harlem, good luck~”

Cheng Ye walked out of the station chief’s small building, vaguely glimpsed at the two silhouettes reflected in the window, silently wishing in his heart.

As one of the inspectors brought up by Cheng Wu, Ding Yishan’s methods and abilities were clearly never fully exposed.

And Harlem was from the next generation after Cheng Wu’s departure, a junior to Ding Yishan.

Now Ding Yishan can point at Harlem’s nose and berate him, as if scolding a grandson, but in the future, will Harlem have the opportunity to reprimand Inspector Cheng with the seniority of a previous generation?

Clearly, that possibility no longer exists.

Central Inspection Station exit.

Mu Shuang had long been waiting, driving a sterilized off-road vehicle. When she saw Cheng Ye holding a card in his hand, she blinked and asked curiously, “Inspector Cheng, what’s that?”

“Oh, I haven’t had the chance to look…”

Cheng Ye raised the card, using the light coming from behind, his gaze fell upon the header, and he couldn’t help but be surprised.

It turned out to be an extremely rare triple-header document from the inspection station.

[Invitation for Feedback on Intern Inspector Cheng Ye’s Early Confirmation]

[Invitation for Feedback on Granting Intern Inspector Cheng Ye ‘Core Inspector’ Authority]

[Invitation for Feedback on Granting Intern Inspector Independent Satellite City ‘Dapo Town’]

“What is it?” Mu Shuang leaned closer, curious, examining the headers on the document.

In the next moment, her smile froze instantly, replaced by complete astonishment, her whole being stunned in place.

And that disappeared smile shifted onto Cheng Ye’s face.

Over ten seconds passed, even as Cheng Ye had already gotten into the car in the front passenger seat, Mu Shuang had still not come to her senses.

It wasn’t until Cheng Ye knocked on the car door that she suddenly snapped back to focus, her eyes meeting a face that was young yet steady:
