Wasteland Development Diary

“You are a Celestial?”

“To be precise, I was.”

The dragon corrected, “Because of being killed repeatedly, the Celestial consciousness was almost shattered and stripped away.”

“Each time I die, I lose a portion of my accumulated memories and experiences. Each rebirth is essentially a completely different dragon.”

According to its description, conceptual life is like a giant puzzle.

Marks are like individual puzzle pieces.

Killing a conceptual life allows one to obtain a large number of puzzle pieces from its body. When the number of these pieces reaches a certain level, exceeding half, one can control that conceptual life.

Zhou Yi asked, “They killed you forty-nine times… and you’re still okay?”

“What do you mean, okay? My past, in my prime, was only one step away from being a Transcendent. After the Celestial merged with me, I was already a Transcendent. Being killed repeatedly, I am now only at the level of a Sky Walker, having fallen two levels. Not to mention, a large number of memories and abilities associated with my consciousness have been lost.”

A sigh came from the dragon纹.

“I shouldn’t have agreed to that guy back then, letting him merge with me. Now I can only shrink in the Forbidden Continent, unable to set foot outside at all.”

Zhou Yi was more concerned about: “Forty-nine times and they still couldn’t completely control you?”

“My ‘Holy Spirit Substitute’ can create substitute consciousness, allowing me to escape at the moment of death and return to the Great Holy Spirit.”

Although the dragon didn’t elaborate.

But it sounds like this ability is a life-saving divine skill for conceptual life in terms of its mechanism.

The dragon showed full confidence: “I, after all, once roamed the Eastern and Western continents for many years, and was worshiped as a god by countless people. I wasn’t without preparation.”

“However, if they further seize more marks, it will also be very detrimental to me. They are not sure how much I still know. So I came to the Forbidden Continent and no longer go out.”

“After not showing my face, the outside world mentions me less and less, and my power is gradually fading naturally. So I cultivate dragon successors through the Dragon Palace, who will carry my name into the outside world to gain more prestige and influence for me.”

Zhou Yi listened silently, staring at the dragon纹 mark: “Why are you telling me so much?”

“Why?”

This ancient conceptual life said: “I am a dragon, I will say what I want, and not say what I don’t want, depending on my mood.”

Zhou Yi only felt strange: “I killed you, and you’re still in a good mood?”

“Battle depends on one’s ability, life and death are destined. But that sentence you said, saying that dragons shouldn’t be like this… I didn’t expect that in this day and age, there are still people who see dragons as gods.”

A voice came from the dragon纹 mark: “It reminds me of the past… when there is no hope for the future, one can only live by the past.”

It exuded a sense of twilight and depression.

Zhou Yi said, “As long as you are alive, there is hope, there is a chance.”

“A chance?”

The dragon chuckled: “Have you faced the Celestials directly? Do you know what level they are? The biggest enemies you humans encounter are nothing more than Sky Walkers!”

“Sky Walkers are just insects in their eyes!”

“Even Light Core entities are insects!”

“I was once a Transcendent, do you know how long I lasted when facing the Celestials? Seven seconds, I was completely destroyed in seven seconds!”

Zhou Yi was silent for a moment: “Sorry, I spoke too lightly.”

The dragon said heavily: “Do you think I don’t want revenge after being killed forty-nine times? I want to get back at them every moment… but I can’t, I can’t win.”

Zhou Yi calmly said: “But as far as I know, the Celestial bodies cannot descend into this world. Can the strength of the Golden Mask Guards reach the Transcendent level?”

“Golden Mask Guards? They are just a bunch of Sky Walker lackeys, not qualified.”

“But you’re right, the Celestials cannot descend here.”

The voice in the dragon纹 also regained its composure: “You have some understanding of the Celestials.”

Zhou Yi thought of a possibility: “Light Core Giants?”

“It seems you do know a lot.”

The dragon said: “I don’t want to talk about these boring things anymore… tell me more about the dragons of the God Era.”

So Zhou Yi recalled and told all the ancient myths he remembered, whether Chinese divine dragons or Western evil dragon legends.

“That’s great… the Old Human Era… even though they were so powerful, they still believed in dragons.”

“The dragons of that era should have been at their peak.”

The dragon’s voice carried a trace of longing.

“Next spring, come to the Dragon Palace, and I will help you promote and recruit trainees.”

“Thank you.”

The dragon纹 mark is more of an consciousness communicator, allowing remote communication with the dragon.

I didn’t see any other uses.

Zhou Yi spent a few more days discussing the details of the subsequent cooperation between the company and the Trident Slope with Mei You. An office of the Wasteland Development Company will be established here, with people stationed there to facilitate commercial cooperation with the Trident Slope, as well as matters related to Electric Cat training.

During this period, a small incident occurred.

Ice Pot absorbed a large amount of lead and unstable gold in the Golden Elephant Valley, purifying the water source on the one hand, and continuously converting into a stable gold structure on the other.

It is at a critical stage of impacting the Light Core body.

Zhou Yi decided to temporarily place the atmospheric creature here, using the special environment of the Golden Elephant Valley to further its growth.

When needed, let the Spotlight Entity come and recall it.

……

Zhou Yi came to the Spark Plain with Yuan Xiao again, and put on thick rubber suit.

When he took out the electric ball.

A thunderbolt suddenly fell next to him, less than three meters away. The lightning condensed into a blurry monster composed of electric arcs. Its whole body was pulled by lightning, appearing violent and dangerous.

“Chairman, you have finally come to pick me up!”

It’s Pikachu.

Under Zhou Yi’s [Alert] perspective, he found that it had actually reached level A, emitting a dangerous and rich purple light all over its body.

The growth rate of energy-based life is really amazing.

“Improved so fast?”

Pikachu said: “My speed is not fast. As long as the electric cats here are born, they will understand the natural laws of this environment and know to fly into the sky to absorb the endless electricity in the clouds.”

“Electric cats that are just born are all B-level, and they can quickly reach A-level, but it is very difficult to become a light core body.”

Zhou Yi thought of the Golden Elephant Valley next door.

The golden elephants there are even more outrageous. They can grow from Sky Walkers to Light Core bodies in one year.

The situation in the Forbidden Continent cannot be viewed with common sense.

Pikachu immediately took credit and said: “Chairman, I specialize in finding B-level electric cats in the clouds and have obtained a lot of electricity from them. These guys are not smart and act completely according to instinct. There is no way to communicate with them, so I can only teach them a lesson and subdue them.”

“The transmission efficiency of electricity is very high. The best position in the clouds is occupied by some powerful electric cats, but a large amount of electricity can also be obtained nearby.”

“Another thing is that in the natural state, the electric cats here are all fighting alone. They have no awareness of group action and are very aggressive towards each other.”

“So I think, aren’t there several brothers in our company? Everyone come together, relying on the advantage of numbers, you can take down a territory, continue to expand, and you can become bigger and stronger.”

Zhou Yi’s face was strange: “Where did you learn these things?”

“From you. You said that at home, you rely on your parents, and when you go out, you rely on your friends. We have many reliable brothers, and wild electric cats are not good at this.”

“Our company’s cat group fights more against them. They are very stupid and only know how to use electric shock brute force, so they can be easily beaten.”

Although Pikachu is not a warrior, its flexible mind has made great contributions to observing the local environment.

Zhou Yi’s heart moved: “The electric cats from the subsequent company are coming over, are you sure there is no problem?”

“No problem. This place is very comfortable for electric cats, and they will grow very fast, and it can also save the company a lot of energy consumption.”

“By the way, Chairman, there is one more thing.”

“I discovered a secret in the clouds here.”

Pikachu drilled onto Zhou Yi’s shoulder, and its body returned to the appearance of an electric arc cat’s head: “There are palaces made of transparent crystals in the depths of the clouds, like cat houses.”

“However, the cat houses in the clouds cannot be approached. Electric cats will be born from them and run out, but then they cannot be approached.”

Zhou Yi pondered in his heart.

I think the prototype of the curved house is this crystal palace in the cloud.

He immediately asked: “Is there anything else in the clouds?”

“I don’t know yet. You can’t get close to it. There is a line there. Touching it will decompose into electricity. You can’t see the situation inside. It’s terrible.”

The electric arc on Pikachu’s body made a crackling sound.

In its description, the crystal palace is not made of glass or crystal, but a kind of rule crystal with an extremely terrifying energy density, which can convert various energies into electricity and release it—it can basically be determined to be a light core structure.

This information is enough for the company to use.

“Also, I didn’t see the Spark Swordsman, but there are light core electric cats. They are almost all in the clouds near the boundary, continuously absorbing electricity there, regardless of external affairs.”

Pikachu said: “But if there are abnormal energy fluctuations on the ground, you have to go and solve the source of the abnormality. A special force will drive us. It’s like some kind of natural law here, and other things are fine.”

It talked about a few more precautions.

Time waits for no one.

Zhou Yi immediately decided to return to Sandport and send the first batch of electric cats over for further study as soon as possible.

……

Extermination Public took the initiative to ask: “I will be here to meet you and help with electric cat training.”

“You want to pick an electric cat, right?”

“You can say that.”

Zhou Yi made three rules with it.

First, it cannot interfere with the specific training process of electric cats.

Second, the entire process must follow the guidance and arrangements of the cat breeder.

Third, whether or not an electric cat can be adopted depends on the judgment of the cat breeder.

Extermination Public agreed very readily: “No problem. I know I can’t interfere with the professional work of professionals. I’m just observing and learning.”

Qin Xie also said: “I will also stay and learn how to raise cats. This time I am finally ahead.”

Zhou Yi let them go.

After arranging these specific matters, he immediately took several new employees, bought a boat ticket at the port, and returned to Sandport on the Gray Whale.

He only had one thought in his mind.

I have to raise more and bigger electric cats as soon as possible, so that everyone in the company has electric cats.

In this way, everyone will have B-level or A-level life protection! Even ordinary people will be very safe when they go out.
