Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 946

Chapter 946: Chapter 301: Life Evolution, Power Surging!

Apparently, after being empowered by Tan Ming, Flame underwent an atavistic phenomenon and awakened this core ability.

This is far more practical than simple hovering.

Cheng Ye had previously conducted a simple test: if relying solely on wind control to remain airborne, he could “step on the wind” for a maximum of 12 steps, nearly doubling the previous hovering time.

And in a light-weight state combined with wind propulsion, the gliding distance greatly increased, and maneuverability reached a new level.

Apart from these newly added skills, Flame’s attribute enhancements are also steadily returning.

Now, even with his physique already significantly enhanced, he can still receive a roughly 20% boost to all attributes, showing that Flame’s potential likely far exceeds Liu Kun’s Scorching Eagle.

“Speaking of Director Liu, it seems like it’s been a long time since I last saw him?”

Cheng Ye’s thoughts shifted, suddenly remembering Liu Kun, who had turned into a big ice block at the time.

The Elder was present then, so even though Liu Kun’s state was bizarre, there shouldn’t have been any danger to his life.

If he were still in Happiness City, perhaps another search or two could “wholesale” a few more rice bowls back.

But it’s been almost two months since that last farewell, and there’s been no news at all about Liu Kun.

Was he taken away by the Elder for secret research, or has he recovered and is just temporarily lying low?

Cheng Ye put a question mark in his mind but didn’t think much more about it.

As for that mysterious manager of the Industrial Zone, the previous station master of the checkpoint, Regan Karl…

Since seeing him once in Dapo Town, unless he actively visits the Industrial Zone, meeting him again would be as difficult as reaching the sky.

“So, in less than half a month, it seems like I’ve reached the end of the resources I can explore within Happiness City at this stage.”

Cheng Ye sat down on the ground, knees bent, imitating Yu Yong’s usual dazed posture, his gaze falling on the slowly flowing Yellow River.

In ten days, he completed over a hundred Skill Fusions.

The vortex lung had long since reached its current limit, and even if he fused more related skills, the gains were negligible, with benefits substantially diminishing and no second qualitative transformation possible.

As the panel evaluation stated, if he wishes to continue evolving, he must find a template that can balance consumption and burden.

And this template certainly doesn’t exist in humans; it can only be found by searching for mutant creatures and sources of infection in the wilderness to extract their unique attributes.

The enhancement of the floating sand bone, although not completely halted, remains extremely rare for Lv2-level skeletal skills, making them difficult to find.

Even if he fortuitously collected more, they could only elevate numerical limits post-fusion without achieving a fundamental breakthrough.

Regarding attempts to fuse Lv3 skills, even with sufficient energy provided by the hydroelectric station, Cheng Ye doesn’t mind the consumption, but search conditions have rigid restrictions, requiring a 50% compatibility rate to proceed.

It’s too difficult.

For ordinary residents, reaching this compatibility is as simple as saying a few nice words and offering some things.

But for strong individuals with Lv3 skills, they usually have a resilient will and a strong sense of vigilance, requiring deep communication and sufficient trust to meet this criterion.

Rather than spending a lot of time gradually building these relationships, it’s better to undertake field missions and enhance his rank.

Once his rank is advanced to Lv4, the search conditions for Lv3 skills will relax to 1%, significantly saving time costs.

After pondering for a moment, Cheng Ye gradually made up his mind and slowly stood up.

Though he still stood on Diversion Island, his eyes drifted toward the distant horizon, as if piercing through the vast wilderness to glimpse the outline of Guang Province, his destination.

“Hmm… my rank still lacks the last 40% of data points to advance.”

“Now, it’s time to prepare for field duty!”
