Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 922

Chapter 922: Chapter 295: External Manifestation and Internal Concealment, Fundamental Forces of the Universe!

Suddenly receiving a large amount of information, Cheng Ye bowed his head in thought, continuously sorting through the known threads.

Liu Bi’s experiences, changes, and feelings perfectly confirmed Shi Xu’s bold speculations.

On Earth, and even across the entire universe, besides the known basic forces like gravity and electromagnetic force, there might be a series of basic powers hidden from human exploration.

These forces objectively exist, governing the underlying logic of material lifecycle and energy circulation. Yet, similar to how the research institute cannot analyze the source of the Green Treasure Worm’s abilities, humanity presently lacks any instruments capable of capturing or studying these basic forces.

The so-called “innate talent” might be the “receptor” for these basic forces, with those possessing such talent able to perceive or even absorb a certain basic force.

Take Mr. Xiacang, for example; he can directly absorb the purple energy flowing in the morning light.

Liu Bi, though unable to actively absorb, can also passively become stronger upon perceiving a basic force.

Then what is the existence of the rune?

Perhaps they are the “formulas” of these basic forces, the vessels that utilize and carry them.

Firewood Track Mountain, crafted by runes, can smelt stones to form mountain bodies, implying that Firewood may have already mastered the basic force formula of material form change.

“Brother B, I’ve suddenly got some new ideas, I’ll head out!”

Cheng Ye suddenly stood up and quickly left, leaving Liu Bi to shake his head with a helpless smile.

But back in the room, Cheng Ye put paper and pen before him, yet couldn’t start writing for a long time.

The speculation was there, and it’s been verified, yet the problems seem to have returned to the initial starting point.

Even those with innate talent cannot describe this amazing ability, and can only use “perception” to broadly encompass it.

Outsiders trying to decipher runes must first remember shapes, understand functions second, and mastering usage comes third.

The most crucial question arises, how to remember them?

With no clue, Shi Xu has researched for so many years, yet remains at the same starting point.

Connecting to what Liu Bi just said, Yu Yong has already realized the existence of this force, which might become a breakthrough point in research.

Of course, the most direct, and also the most crude method, is to continue upgrading the Collector’s rank.

Currently at Level 3, it can search Level 4 skills, but still cannot collect runes.

“The importance of runes may far exceed imagination, not to mention modification or usage, even simply being able to collect and memorize these runes would be invaluable.”

Cheng Ye finally lifted the pen and wrote the large word “rune” on paper.

But after writing, he directly tore off the page, crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it into the trash.

Thinking over it is fruitless, action is key.

The rank progression is almost halfway, Level 4 is within reach.

As long as the upgrade and unlocking of rune collection functions can be completed before winter arrives, there will be plenty of time for research later, no need to waste precious time now.

Thinking this way, Cheng Ye simply packed all the materials on the desk, grabbed a set of bedding, and directly drove to the hydroelectric station.

“Inspector Cheng? Are you moving in here?” Wu Rui, who was patrolling, saw him carrying luggage looking like he was settling for a long stay and was momentarily stunned, “Rest assured, before the militia is well-trained, we are here to guard, absolutely no problem would arise.”

“No worries, the town is too noisy, it’s quiet here.” Cheng Ye explained with a smile, “I’m working overnight here, won’t disturb anyone.”

Seeing him say this, Wu Rui paused and said nothing more.

Now with electricity, residents work overtime at night, the sound of clattering and machines never stops.

The hydroelectric station is two kilometers away from town, indeed much quieter, suitable for focusing on work.

After Wu Rui left, Cheng Ye found a clean corner to lay the bedding and neatly placed the materials, patiently flipping through them while waiting for the Collector’s battery to fully charge.

No time feels more secure and full of Happiness than now!

No need to sneak electricity, worry about being caught, but can use it freely as desired, and the charging power is startlingly high, far exceeding the efficiency of the Buffer Zone.

More importantly, he has plenty of skills that can be fused, his strength hasn’t reached its pinnacle yet.

You could say, now every unit of electricity can convert into present strength, every unit will not be wasted!

Soon, at one in the morning, the panel lit up with the fully charged prompt.

Cheng Ye grinned, suppressing the excitement in his heart, routinely completed the “harvest.”

Here it comes!

The Zeye Physique that has shown no change for two months, the most critical apparent talent of humanity.

Rating upgrade, it’s happening now!
