Wasteland Development Diary

The bespectacled girl has quite a few titles.

Weapon merchant, honorary knight of the Dead Sea Knights – those are easy to understand at a glance.

Citizen of Heaven?

I haven't heard of that one before.

Zhou Yi also introduced himself: "Zhou Yi, chairman of Wasteland Development Company, currently engaged in farmland reclamation and modification around the Oasis."

"I know you."

Qian Su said with interest, "Almost everyone who can afford to keep Dead Sea Abominations is a famous figure. If possible, could you reveal a little about your background and identity? Just a little."

Zhou Yi answered a question with a question: "Are you here on behalf of the Dead Sea Knights?"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

The gun merchant waved her hand: "Perhaps Mr. Zhou doesn't know much about it, but honorary knights are identities bought through various relationships or with money, and there are quite a few of them. Having this identity makes it easier to move around and allows you to take Dead Sea Knights' ships to safely go to sea. It's completely different from a formal knight. Honorary knights only enjoy the protection and corresponding rights of the Knights."

"However, there are also some honorary knights who have close relationships with the Knights themselves, and act as honorary knights to reduce the restrictions of the Knights' rules… Ji Chang is one of those."

"He and I are in the same business, and he is also a senior. But unlike me, he can really summon the Knights to work for him."

Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed.

The other party obviously knew something.

Qian Su stopped there and glanced at the monster legion behind him: "Mr. Zhou, just like the rumors say, leads the Samurai Crab Guard, advancing and retreating with ease in this desert. It's truly remarkable military command talent."

"If you buy a little something from me, I'll tell you a piece of information that is absolutely worth the money, how about it?"

Zhou Yi said, "If there's nothing else, then goodbye."

He didn't want to waste money.

More importantly, he didn't have any money.

Right now, he had to save up Light Seeds. Emerald City needed them, the Red Falcon needed them, the Samurai Crabs needed them to evolve into Black Warriors, and even his own stat points had to be put last.

"Mr. Zhou, wait, wait."

Qian Su trotted all the way, catching up to Zhou Yi, who had turned to leave.

"To show my sincerity, I'll give you a reminder first."

"Ji Chang has already convinced the Dead Sea Knights, and the Dead Sea Knights are already on their way here, perhaps arriving in the next few days."

Zhou Yi wasn't surprised.

What's coming will always come.

He killed a group of Ji Chang's subordinates, causing him to lose five Enhancers, and also foiled his layout for Emerald City.

If he were in his shoes, he would also make a comeback to get his revenge.

Qian Su said, "Although I don't know what scale they'll be coming in, if you don't have a sea combat vehicle, it will be quite difficult to deal with…"

"The Dead Sea Knights can launch remote attacks from the Dead Sea to the shore, even Dead Sea Abominations will be very passive. After all, everyone knows that Abominations will fall asleep when they enter the Dead Sea."

Zhou Yi turned to ask her, "Why are you telling me this?"

"Of course, for business. As long as there is conflict and war, weapon merchants like us have to seize the opportunity to peddle. I think you might need to temporarily purchase a batch of weapons to cope with this external challenge."

The gun merchant took the opportunity to say, "There is also a simple solution that can immediately solve this problem."

"If you are willing to sell that Dead Sea Abomination, I will invite professionals to appraise and survey it, and quote a price based on the Abomination's strength and completeness. As long as you pay, you can find a middleman to settle this trouble…"

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow.

The other party didn't hide her desires and goals.

Whether it was Ji Chang or Qian Su, they were both aiming at Emerald City.

They just chose different methods.

"No need to bother."

Zhou Yi said, "Goodbye."

"Hey, hey, hey… don't go, let's be friends first. If we can't make a deal, we can still be friendly, we can talk, we can talk about other things."

Qian Su refused to give up, following behind him all the way, trying to persuade him, adopting a very humble attitude.

Zhou Yi coldly asked, "What do you think you have that I would be interested in buying?"

This made the other party stunned.

She followed up by asking, "What do you want to buy? I have quite a lot of things here."

"Light Obstructors."

"I have those. Small Light Obstructors, a set of two light obstruction boxes, 30 Light Seeds. Medium Light Obstructors, a set of five light obstruction boxes, 150 Light Seeds."

Zhou Yi asked, "How long will it take to deliver them here?"

"Within seven days."

"Too slow, I want them before sunset today."

"…That's a very difficult request to fulfill." Qian Su showed a troubled expression: "Even if I transfer the goods from the nearest Sand Port, it will take at least a day to transport them here."

Zhou Yi said, "That's your problem, not my problem."

The girl gritted her teeth: "You have to add money, the expedited transportation fee is 10 Light Seeds, if it exceeds two sets it will be overweight, and the transportation fee will be doubled."

"Okay. Two sets of small Light Obstructors."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Before sunset, I'll pick them up at Emerald City—that is, downstairs from the Abomination."

"Okay."

After saying that, Qian Su didn't even ask for a deposit. Two streams of air spewed out from under her feet, as if she was riding on wind and fire wheels, rushing into the distance.

After this little interlude, Zhou Yi also returned in triumph.

This external battle yielded Light Seeds and a large number of Antlion carapaces, leg spikes, and tentacles.

But the Desert of Death still had no end in sight. It will still take time to open up the road connecting to other towns, so we can only do it later.

…

As sunset approached, a silver-black American heavy truck roared all the way, arriving at the edge of the Emerald City's security line.

The car door opened outwards.

Qian Su, wearing a sun hat, jumped out of it.

She walked all the way to Zhou Yi, who was sitting under a parasol flipping through a magazine: "Although I encountered a little trouble when transferring the goods, fortunately I wasn't late. Take a look at the goods you ordered."

Zhou Yi nodded.

Qian Su patted the silver container behind the truck with her metal palm, and immediately the metal door on that side was pulled up.

She entered the carriage along the handrail and took out several wooden boxes from inside. The girl skillfully unpacked them with a pair of iron hands, assembled the devices, and also gave Zhou Yi a handwritten copy of the operation manual.

Two sets of Light Obstructors were verified on the spot, and their quality was obviously better than the one captured before.

Zhou Yi handed her his Light Seed Nanoshell.

Qian Su also took out a Light Seed Nanoshell, and fixed the two together by twisting them like screws, with Zhou Yi's Light Seed Nanoshell on top, so the number of Light Seeds on the top shell began to drop.

Soon, the 70 Light Seed transaction was completed.

Qian Su then turned her attention back to Emerald City.

She looked up, her eyes slightly widened, and her lips slightly parted: "It's so big… The integrity is so high, and the energy reserves look like a lot. It looks really majestic."

Zhou Yi asked, "You've been showing up in the Desert of Death, were you looking for me?"

"Actually, not really. I'm just testing new weapons over there. It's best to find wild Light Seed Nanocores for this kind of test. That Desert of Death is a good natural shooting range."

Qian Su said, "Originally, I wanted to come and visit after testing, but I didn't expect to meet you by chance."

"I'm a little curious, Mr. Zhou."

The bespectacled girl looked over with a puzzled gaze: "Are you really not concerned about this attack at all? How are you planning to deal with it? I mean, if it's a warship launching an attack from the Dead Sea, even a Dead Sea Abomination would be of little use, right?"

Zhou Yi said, "No big deal."

He didn't continue the topic.

Qian Su didn't press the issue, but fell into deep thought.

Zhou Yi had already thought of a countermeasure on the dunes.

Directly order Emerald City to move away from the coast and relocate inland to lure the enemy in.

The current Wasteland Development Company is very flexible.

If this group of Dead Sea Knights dares to land, abandoning their ships and Dead Sea positional advantages, then it will be easy to deal with them.
