Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 936

Chapter 936: Chapter 299: Reshuffling the Situation, Data Update!

Wang Rui nodded with a smile, “That’s why I called you over this time. You’re the only one in the Heavy Machinery Faction who understands naval construction. We want you to probe his background and see how ambitious he really is!”

“Uncle Wang, don’t worry. There may be a generation gap in communication with you elders, but we are all young people. I’m sure I’ll communicate with him smoothly,” Lu Zheng replied enthusiastically, and then suggested, “How about this, you play the bad cop, I play the good cop, and we try to get closer to him and get him to talk?”

All… young people?

One is just turning 20 this year, and the other is already 31.

A whole 11 years apart. No matter how you look at it, they don’t seem like people of the same age.

Wang Rui’s mind flashed to that excessively young face, yet more mature than Lu Zheng’s, and he shook his head, “Forget about the good cop and bad cop. This kid has some real skills. If he wants to gamble with us, why shouldn’t we take him up on it?”

“Both sides are simply seeking what they need and have mutual demands. Being sincere can actually make things easier to connect positively.”

“Uh…” Lu Zheng was startled. This kind of talk is not surprising coming from someone else, but it seemed oddly out of place coming from Wang Rui.

After all, Wang Rui’s code name in the legion is “Pangolin,” specialized in psychological warfare, always seeking breakthroughs from people’s weakest points.

“Don’t be surprised,” Wang Rui explained calmly, “I usually have a good eye, but I missed once with him. He’s already proven himself with his abilities, so I naturally respect him.”

“Alright.”

Lu Zheng nodded in agreement, then suddenly saw an off-road vehicle approaching from behind the inspection station.

Due to Luokuke attending the meeting, the Dabo Inspection Station was temporarily closed, so Cheng Ye had to come personally to open the door.

The off-road vehicle stopped in front of the isolation zone, and Cheng Ye got out of the car.

From afar, he waved enthusiastically, his face adorned with a bright smile, which made Lu Zheng unconditionally develop more goodwill.

At least compared to other Inspectors, this young Inspector Cheng has a demeanor that really suits him.

“Commander Wang, welcome to Dapo Town for inspection!”

Cheng Ye opened the door to the inspection station, and his gaze fell on the man beside Wang Rui, smiling as he asked, “And who is this Commander?”

“Legion Level Four Commander Lu Zheng, also one of the rare talents within the Cross Legion who understands naval construction.”

Wang Rui took over the conversation, his tone slightly probing, “We’re here with sincerity today, but it depends on Inspector Cheng’s sincerity.”

“Inspector Cheng, nice to meet you!” Lu Zheng extended his hand at just the right moment.

The highest rank is Commander, and Wang Rui is of this level.

Level four is the lowest, yet Lu Zheng remains an important figure within the legion.

As their hands briefly made contact, a special energy transmitted from Lu Zheng’s palm, swirling in Cheng Ye’s palm for a moment.

“Oh? You’re…” Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows.

“We’re on the same path,” Lu Zheng explained with a smile, “When I was younger, I loved taking risks, opting for high difficulty tasks, heading towards danger. Naturally, I encountered quite a few accidents.”

Feeling the thick aura returned from Cheng Ye’s palm, Lu Zheng’s heart tensed.

Both being A-level Source Binders, the intensity of Cheng Ye’s infection source within is surprisingly not weaker than his own, and even slightly stronger.

Of course, if he knew that the aura of the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse he sensed was just about one-fourth, a complete entity already evolved into the Extraordinary Mother Source by Tan Ming, he might be truly astonished.

“On the same path?” Cheng Ye’s smile deepened.

Indeed, having fame and power makes things convenient; even high-quality search materials learn to deliver themselves.

Without a hint of expression, he opened his panel and noticed Lu Zheng’s initial cooperation rating of 27%, and Wang Rui’s surprisingly high 31% cooperation rating, which gave him some pause.

Today, these two truly came with genuine intentions, much more sincere than the last time.

“Please come in, Dabo Town welcomes the two Commanders for inspection!”

Cheng Ye didn’t dwell much on the topic of Source Binders; today’s focus was not discussing combat and survival. Since Wang Rui brought someone who understands naval construction, it was clear they had grasped Dapo Town’s plan.

Initially thinking some effort would be needed to paint the picture, unexpectedly, the Heavy Machinery Faction had independently researched thoroughly, eliminating much trouble.

This simplifies things.

He first led them on a brief tour around Dapo Town, introducing them to the currently implemented infrastructure planning.

From their expressions, it was clear these contents had already been processed mentally from the data, which didn’t surprise Cheng Ye, so he straightforwardly led them to the temporary reception room just completed yesterday.

The reception room remained simple, with only a few wooden tables and a dozen chairs, but once the two entered, neither cared about the unrefined environment, instead growing more convinced of Cheng Ye’s sincerity.

Satellite City just started, one means one, two means two, devoid of any pretense or decoration, this simplicity instead instilled trust.

On the table were already stacked two piles of handwritten materials by Cheng Ye.

It was coincidental, as these materials were specifically prepared by Cheng Ye, one for keeping and one for the legion, with contents completely consistent.

Now it’s perfect, with each of them receiving a copy, just sufficient for use.

“Commander Wang, Commander Lu, my environment may be simple, but the hospitality is uncompromised.”

Cheng Ye stood up and pulled open the table drawer, pulling out a packet of Cloud Mist Tea, which was a gift from Dario, Western Fifth-stage Inspector Harlem’s subordinate, a long time ago.

Busy rushing around, it had been transported from the Buffer Zone to Satellite City without ever having the chance to enjoy it, but now it finally serves its purpose.

He tore open the aluminum foil packaging, added the tea leaves into the kettle, and as he poured the boiling water in, the fresh fragrance instantly filled the entire room with a refreshing misty sensation.
