Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi pondered and asked, "Are there many light-sucking monsters near the Focusing Body at Meizhou Prison?"

He remembered not seeing any light-sucking monsters near United City.

"Few."

"It's strong."

炅's answer confused Zhou Yi even more.

"Besides accumulating light-sucking monsters, are there other ways to become stronger?"

"Light."

It said, "Enter the light, and become strong."

Zhou Yi spent a lot of effort trying to understand what the light 炅 was referring to represented.

This was the first time there was a communication problem even with synchronized consciousness.

Ultimately, he accepted Xiaofu's suggestion, using 200 light seeds to convert into 8000 energy points, activating the Poseidon, and using the Circular Light Instrument to transform 炅 into a Fire Seed life form.

The Focusing Body cooperated throughout the process.

The electronic tattoo that 炅 transformed into was a silver cross star.

Through this method, Zhou Yi and the Focusing Body achieved a deeper level of consciousness connection. Self-expression and complex descriptions were no longer communication barriers, and a large amount of information was synchronized instantly.

Zhou Yi also transmitted some information about himself and the company to 炅. After this almost initiatory technical process, 炅's expressive ability improved dramatically in a short period.

"Light is the burst of dead light."

"Our Focusing Bodies can efficiently absorb the energy released by light bursts, which is the most important enhancement for us. Besides that, there are light-sucking monsters, which are important for stable accumulation."

"However, the duration of a light burst is very short. Although the speed of a Focusing Body is decent, it can't compare to dead light. The first round of a light burst consumes over 99% of the energy, and subsequent reactions are all radiation reactions triggered by the first round. It's difficult for us to accurately appear there during the first round."

"The one at Meizhou Prison is called He. It waited for many years in the sea area of United City and encountered a light burst point. It completely absorbed most of the energy there and completely digested it, so it's very strong."

"He's ability is a light blade, which has extremely high instantaneous burst power and penetration. A part of me was cut off by it."

"The previous one with a large number of light-sucking monsters is Zhi. Its ability is fusion, which allows it to directly connect with a large number of light-sucking monsters and use their existing energy. I can't beat it."

Zhou Yi was a little surprised: "Do Focusing Bodies have different ability directions?"

"Yes, we have different development directions. Having talent in a certain direction is innate. Forcibly pushing and developing in a direction without talent will only be counterproductive and very painful."

"What is your direction?"

"Measurement."

"I can measure the inclination of targets."

When 炅 spoke about its own talent, it immediately became confident.

"By measuring the target's energy reactions and the energy trajectory of its interaction with the outside world, I can determine whether the target itself is aggressive and volatile, or stable and restrained. The energy trajectory around the Great Buddha is intact and stable, so I trust it."

It continued, "In addition, I can also measure the target's strength. Because any object with energy will have energy reactions, and interaction with external dead light will form a very subtle vibration and polarized light. I can measure its strength through this, with very high accuracy."

"Like Chairman, I can measure that you tend towards stability and restraint, and that you are trustworthy."

Zhou Yi was even more puzzled: "Since you can measure strength, why did you still fight the other two Focusing Bodies?"

"I can only measure their own strength. I knew He was very strong from the beginning, but I still wanted to try. Zhi's specialization is using light-sucking monsters, which did exceed my judgment..."

炅 can measure various life forms in light form. This measurement can be completed remotely without contact.

Strength measurement and tendency judgment are very useful to Zhou Yi.

炅 lacked attack methods, which is why it was beaten everywhere in the combined battle.

Zhou Yi suddenly thought.

"You're looking for light bursts?"

"Yes."

"I can't predict light bursts, but I can find where light bursts are happening. Is that useful to you?"

"Yes, although the subsequent energy is only 1%, it's still very good."

Zhou Yi immediately summoned Red Falcon and activated the satellite of United City.

The satellite map immediately marked out light burst points.

Zhou Yi synchronized this information with 炅.

The Focusing Body immediately became excited: "Actually, actually so many!! If there are enough, even the subsequent reactions are no different! 100 can make up a complete light burst! Great!"

Zhou Yi restored it from a Fire Seed life form to its original machine body.

The fire-like Focusing Body instantly disappeared in place.

A dozen minutes later.

炅 reappeared next to Zhou Yi, the light on its body was obviously much stronger, no longer dim.

"I absorbed two!"

"A lot of energy!"

"Chairman, thanks to your help! I'll continue to look for light bursts with the satellite!"

Zhou Yi nodded.

It's good as long as it's useful.

Zhou Yi looked at the satellite map on the remote control screen. Every once in a while, a light burst point suddenly disappeared. A few minutes later, the second one disappeared, and then the third one...

The Focusing Body was absorbing the remaining power of the light bursts.

The Sand Sea Guild misunderstood that the Focusing Body brought light bursts, but the opposite was true. Light bursts attract Focusing Bodies.

After the fourth light burst point disappeared, the Focusing Body flashed to Zhou Yi's side.

"Absorbing too much at once is a bit indigestible."

The light ball person sprayed a high-brightness shock wave towards the sky, which exploded into many silver flowers in the air, illuminating the dark sky.

"There are a lot of mixed forces in the light burst. We can't absorb all of them. We can only absorb them first and then expel the unusable parts."

炅 explained.

After spraying thirty-odd fireworks, it finally calmed down.

"Hic, that's much better."

炅 then began to collect light bursts again.

Five days later.

炅 reappeared in front of Zhou Yi.

Strangely, it had become dim again.

"I'm sorry, Chairman, I can't digest and master so much energy in a short time. I exploded several times. Energy storage is not my specialty."

Zhou Yi: "..."

This was the first time he had encountered someone who ate themselves to the point of exploding.

"I can't win against them and combine in a short time."

炅 had already faced reality: "I really have no talent in combat."

Zhou Yi proposed another path: "Combining is to enter a higher life stage, right?"

"Yes."

"So they don't want to combine with you because you have few light-sucking monsters and your combat power isn't strong."

"Right."

"But have you ever thought about telling them that you can locate light burst areas at any time... You have this kind of resource and can obtain it at any time. You seem weak only because of your specialization. As long as time accumulates, you will definitely become stronger and stronger."

Zhou Yi patiently explained: "As long as they combine with you, they will embark on this fast-growing channel. Do you think they will reconsider?"

炅 was stunned for a moment.

"That makes sense... I have the power of the company behind me."

"Yes, yes!!"

"Chairman, I'll go try."

"Wait."

Zhou Yi stopped it: "Communication should be patient and careful. You are combining for a win-win situation, not to determine who wins and loses. If the other party still disagrees, don't force it. You can always become stronger slowly."

"Got it."

The Focusing Body disappeared again.

It returned after a day and a night.

When they met again, Zhou Yi found that the Focusing Body was obviously different. It had shrunk into a light ball the size of a human head, with a layer of light blue fire light surrounding its surface, appearing cold and calm.

"Chairman, I'm back."

It was obviously in a good mood: "This time I went to find Zhi first, but it still refused. Then, with a try-it-out mentality, I went to find He and told it what you taught me. I didn't expect He to just confirm that I had this ability and then combine with me!"

"Now it and I are one, so I am 炅 He."

"Now I have both the abilities of 炅 and He, and can use [Measurement] and [Light Blade]. Its energy storage limit is very high, so it can absorb light bursts and grow quickly."

Zhou Yi also smiled as he listened.

In the end, it was his own employee who successfully found a partner. Congratulations.

"Chairman, let me show you my abilities now."

炅 He hovered in the air for a week, aiming at the Dead Sea.

It suddenly shot out a thin blue light, which directly separated the light and fog of the Dead Sea, cutting a channel through it, and clearly seeing a large amount of dust and rocks accumulated on the seabed.

After a dozen seconds, this underwater channel slowly closed.

Zhou Yi's heart was startled.

So far, this was the first time he had seen a life form that could directly distort and change the Dead Sea.

炅 He flew to Zhou Yi's side: "Chairman, this is the Light Blade."

"The Light Blade is an ultimate penetration and cutting ability, a form of energy weapon that can even temporarily cut open the Dead Sea. He has honed it for many years to reach its current strength, but the energy consumption is very high. With my measurement, I can make more precise cuts."

Zhou Yi used [Alert] to see that the red light of the Focusing Body at this time was rich and deep, and was already turning towards purple.

Since the reconstruction of the combat species, the Alert perspective has been able to directly see the higher-level reactions of dead light.

"Are you close to A-level?"

"There is still a distance."

炅 He said: "It takes three Focusing Bodies to combine to become a Sky Walker, qualified to go to the outer sea."

"However, atmospheric creatures are hunting everywhere in the outer sea. Ordinary Sky Walkers are not safe... Those guys are very terrifying."

"I'll still accumulate well first, store energy to the limit, and then use my abilities skillfully before considering returning to the outer sea."

It was very clear-headed.

Zhou Yi was relieved: "Then continue to look for suitable Focusing Bodies and go to light burst areas to increase your strength."

"Yes."

炅 He also said: "However, Chairman, please give me some tasks. I feel like I've been eating the company's resources since I joined the company, getting all kinds of help and guidance from you, and I haven't done anything... I also want to contribute!"

"I'll let you know when I need you."

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he suddenly thought.

There was really one thing that 炅 He might be able to help with.

"Rolex watch? Oh, oh... So that's what it is... It's not far from here. It's easiest for my measurement to find things. But I'm an energy form and can't touch it directly. It's best to have another employee go with me."

"I'll go find it for you now!"

After confirming the detailed form of the Rolex, the Focusing Body disappeared in place with a swoosh, dragging a light track pointing to the distance.

Zhou Yi sent out a Sea Hunter, which turned into a shooting star, chasing desperately behind it.

...

Sand Port City, Lookout.

Witnessing the scene of a blue light cutting through the Dead Sea, Sand Sea Guild opened a bottle of Dead Sea Vintage and gulped down a few mouthfuls of strong wine.

The mayor Chen Jiadong next to him was looking at the slowly closing Dead Sea, his eyes almost dull.

"This level is enough..."

"I'm going to gamble on this!"

Sand Sea Guild squeezed its claws and said fiercely.

"Go contact Bei Du Guild and Steel Refining Guild and tell them that I want to discuss resisting the Overwhelming Guild with them."

Chen Jiadong came back to his senses and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, sir."
