Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 875

Chapter 875: Chapter 285: Persuading Liu Bi, Hydroelectric Plant Activated!

The ultimate move is always sincerity.

Whether facing Matthew Lee, Luokuke, or people like Wang Kang, Elder Qu, and Long, Cheng Ye never thought of revealing his identity and strength easily.

Sometimes he felt it was unnecessary, other times he worried that exposing himself too early would cause unnecessary trouble.

But with Liu Bi, his heart was filled with unreserved sincerity.

Just like when the timeline flickered back to when he first crossed over more than half a year ago. Despite Liu Bi’s formidable strength, he always took care of him in the most clumsy way, training him and accompanying his growth.

After three months, he also didn’t hide anything, being what he was supposed to be.

As for whether Liu Bi could accept these changes, Cheng Ye was not worried.

Sure enough.

Liu Bi raised his hand, and Niu Fu immediately understood, handing over the clothes that had been taken off earlier.

When Cheng Ye put them on somewhat awkwardly, he suddenly laughed, “There’s quite a bit of elastic alloy left. Although it’s not comfortable to wear as clothes, putting a layer on the waistband wouldn’t be so awkward.”

“That’s the idea,” Cheng Ye followed with a laugh, “It’s just that there’s some trouble at the Buffer Zone recently. I can’t go back for now, and I’m so busy these days that I haven’t touched on it.”

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, Liu Bi rubbed the bruises on his arm that hadn’t faded, unable to help shaking his head, “You just used the powers of the Infected Body, right? Is it a benign source?”

“Yes, when completing the Immortal Objects task last time, I had no choice but to use it.”

“What’s its impact on you?” Liu Bi asked directly, wasting no time.

“I actually got some opportunities, no negative impact. It doesn’t shorten my lifespan, nor do I have to bear any fatal consequences… Hmm, if anything, each time I use it, I have to sprint fifty kilometers, does that count?” Cheng Ye added with a smile.

“Sprint fifty kilometers? At what speed?” Liu Bi frowned, instantly catching the key point.

“Just the speed my body can handle, after which I’m just a bit tired.”

Cheng Ye lightly shook his head.

These words weren’t said casually. Earlier fainting from the load of two thousand kilometers had reached its limit, but now after a high-intensity sprint of fifty kilometers in his peak condition, it’s no more than slight fatigue.

Moreover, more importantly, each time he pays this so-called price, it instead raises his physical condition to a higher level.

He’s already planned it out, once winter comes and he has more free time, he’ll start the symbiosis every other day, taking advantage of the chance to pay the price to steadily increase his base stats.

“Then I need to supervise you finishing each price,” Liu Bi, unwavering, had a tone that brooked no argument.

“Sure, I can finish running today, anyway I’m free now.”

“No, not today,” Niu Fu quickly interjected, “Cheng Ye, your Sister Luo is waiting anxiously at home, and Yiyi is clamoring for Brother Bi to hurry back home.”

“What? Brother B, you finished the task and didn’t go home first but came directly to Dapo Town?” Cheng Ye was stunned, full of surprise.

Unexpectedly, the first place Liu Bi went after finishing his task wasn’t back to the Buffer Zone to see his family, but to Dapo Town to check on him first.

This heavy friendship made Cheng Ye’s throat choke slightly, for a moment not knowing what to say.

“The Buffer Zone has been pretty peaceful lately, nothing much going on.”

Liu Bi sighed, his previously taut and upright body suddenly relaxed completely, “Although I can’t directly call home, your Sister Luo sends me messages frequently, so I’m clear on the situation. But here with you…”

While speaking, he unconsciously wanted to pat Cheng Ye’s shoulder, just like every day after training, when they parted at the bus stop.

But when he lifted his hand, he realized that Cheng Ye had grown tall and upright, and he had to raise his arm slightly to barely pat Cheng Ye’s shoulder.

“It’s only been three months, why does Brother B suddenly feel like three years have passed…”

He sighed a few times, finally raising his arm high to heavily pat Cheng Ye’s shoulder, his tone full of praise, “You are more impressive than your father, making everyone take notice, good job!”

Among men, many times you don’t need sentimental empathy, what you need is recognition, is respect.

Liu Bi didn’t sigh and say you’ve suffered these three months, but this straightforward recognition means a battle is over, he’s completely accepted the existence of the Infected Body in Dapo Town.

The two exchanged looks, Cheng Ye was about to speak when the panel suddenly popped up without warning.

[Detecting the presence of a fully open target near the Collector]

Hmm?

Cheng Ye paused, his gaze quickly scanning the top right corner of the panel as he slightly bowed his head.

Sure enough, Liu Bi had no cooperation level with him, only the words fully open.

On the other hand, Niu Fu’s cooperation level was astonishingly high, despite having just met, it was at 87%.

Unfortunately, the charging value of the Collector was down to only 15%.

During this time, he was focused on the construction of Dapo Town, and the only time he charged the Collector was when he took a short trip to Dongping Town, taking the chance during an overnight stay to extract Matthew Lee’s remaining two skills from the pine tree.

Later, to avoid the power disputes erupting in the Buffer Zone and avoid being implicated, he simply stayed indoors, guarding Dapo Town tightly so no one could trouble him.

If Davidson hadn’t suddenly proposed to dismantle a tower crane for his use, he wouldn’t have gone out in recent days. Not until the hydropower station was repaired and the external environment stabilized would he consider leaving.
