Wasteland Development Diary

"Chairman..."

"Chairman, wake up."

"The mechanical and electrical administrator has been captured."

Zhou Yi was groggy, and Yuanxiao's voice came from his ear.

Mechanical and electrical... administrator?

He suddenly opened his eyes.

In the living room, the Night God was flipping through 'Dream of the Red Chamber,' which she had urged him to read to fall asleep, not knowing if she could understand it.

The Cat God next to her was locking a green monster with electric arcs.

The monster was made up of 0s and 1s, looking like some kind of garbled code. It was constantly moving and changing inside, like a cloud of digital data.

The Cat God said, "Chairman, I have locked it with the [BGM Domain], it can't get out in a short time."

Things seemed to be going smoothly.

Zhou Yi asked about the whole process.

"We first found its location, thanks to the Night God, she has the coordinates of many conceptual lives. We seized the opportunity to attack it when it expanded its ability to affect mechanical and electrical lives."

The Cat God said, "The mechanical and electrical administrator is very strong, but fortunately, it doesn't have any special resistance abilities."

In its description, the Night God directly took the initiative and temporarily exiled the mechanical and electrical administrator to the moon.

The administrator lost connection with the Great Spirit and the prototype of the mechanical and electrical city, immediately became very weak, and was suppressed by the Night God and the Cat God together before being captured.

Zhou Yi glanced at the palace-dressed woman flipping through 'Dream of the Red Chamber'.

The Night God's strength is indeed unfathomable for the Black Night Church to develop to its current scale.

"Thank you."

"It's nothing."

The Night God picked up the book in her hand: "This book is quite good, can I borrow it to read?"

Zhou Yi was stunned: "Can you understand ancient Chinese?"

The Night God said: "Conceptual lives can directly obtain information. Different words are associated with a large number of consciousness fragments... It can be understood as the people associated with this book, their thoughts and feelings when reading."

"The amount of information we get from reading a book far exceeds yours. Many information carriers are of mixed quality, filled with a lot of inferior fragments, which will also waste a lot of our time."

"But this 'Dream of the Red Chamber' is very refined. There are many high-quality consciousness fragments related to it, not those repetitive and ineffective information, but a lot of thinking. It can be regarded as a rare masterpiece."

Zhou Yi understood immediately.

Such a masterpiece itself has been baptized by time, which means it has been liked by many people, and the consciousness fragments it triggers are also numerous.

According to this statement.

Wouldn't the books that sell better be theoretically more useful to the Night God and others?

He asked: "Can all conceptual lives acquire consciousness fragments by reading books?"

"Yes."

The Night God nodded: "Information carriers are associated with a large number of consciousness fragments, which is also a natural law on the consciousness side. The most difficult thing is to filter out the useful parts from them. But this varies from person to person. Some conceptual lives hate reading books, or do not accept this carrier method. Every life has its own preferences."

Zhou Yi turned his gaze to the Cat God next to him.

The Cat God's whole body suddenly had a burst of electric arcs pulling and flashing: "Ch-, Chairman, I... I don't like reading... I still want to run around. What's that saying, traveling ten thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books!"

"I run fast, I like to run around. As long as I run enough roads, it's equivalent to reading many books!"

"I'll do more missions! Reading that... is not suitable for me!"

Zhou Yi sighed.

He had cultivated a god who doesn't love to learn.

He suddenly remembered another thing and immediately asked the Night God: "Do you know the Book-Eating Demon?"

"I know."

The Night God closed the book: "That guy is very special. I don't know what its body is, I only know that it absorbs and eats other books. This is its way of evolution."

"Speaking of which, it can be regarded as taking a different approach. Originally, it was a conceptual life, formerly called 'Storyteller,' and was quite famous in the early days."

She recalled: "The Storyteller's prototype is more complicated, including the rumors, legends, and anecdotes circulating in the world, and it is also related to the ancient oral traditions of secrets. It is difficult to accurately describe what it originated from. But its appearance is usually to collect legends and secrets from all over the place, it is a recorder."

"Later, I don't know why, it suddenly disappeared, and the Great Spirit no longer had its mark."

"When it reappeared, it became the Book-Eating Demon."

The Night God showed a thoughtful look: "It is difficult to describe its current state. Perhaps it has turned back into a material life, but it continues its past consciousness ability. This is strange in itself, and I haven't seen it for a long time."

Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

The Book-Eating Demon used to be a Storyteller, once an ancient conceptual life.

But it gave up this identity.

Now the Book-Eating Demon hunts books everywhere, erasing words and information, becoming a disaster in the eyes of the Mount Tai Knights.

Zhou Yi asked: "Did the Storyteller eat books before?"

"It didn't used to be like this."

The Night God shook her fan: "It used to only collect and record, and would not delete its source. In the Book-Eating Demon stage, it has monopolized the information. I don't know what happened to it."

What she knew was also limited.

Zhou Yi could only stop there.

He handed the Night God a Light Nax Box: "There are 3 million Light Seeds inside, count them."

The Night God reached out to take it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou is as straightforward as ever. This time the amount is too large, plus this book, it seems I have to make a trip myself to take it back."

"Then goodbye, see you."

"See you."

The Night God disappeared in place.

Zhou Yi immediately activated the Poseidon, converting the mechanical and electrical administrator into a Fire Seed life.

The [Halo Instrument] only glowed after it was turned on, and could not shrink or suppress the administrator.

Xiaofu reminded: "Da Zhou, its strength is too high, your current energy is not enough to convert it. It looks like it is at least a LV2 Light Core body, and it needs at least 20 million Light Seeds."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

"That's not right. The conversion of the Rock Core race T only used 500,000 Light Seeds before, and it was still a LV5 Light Core body."

"Energy difference."

Xiaofu explained: "T was already in a near-death state before, in long-term hibernation to maintain the most basic survival characteristics. But the mechanical and electrical administrator is in full bloom, even if it has been weakened by some of the previous attacks, it can get a steady stream of power when it returns here."

"If it is placed on the moon, the cost can be reduced to about 10 million. But with your current reserves, it should not be able to reach it in a short time."

"The cost of converting conceptual lives is high, and the risk is also high. In fact, we Time Rewinders basically don't do this."

Zhou Yi was in trouble for a while.

The BGM Domain cannot lock the administrator for a long time.

The reason for the failure of this operation was that he did not have enough Light Seed reserves... which made him a little sad.

Being poor is his biggest weakness.

After paying the Night God's appearance fee, he now has only 2 million Light Seeds left, and life seems to have become tight again.

Xiaofu said: "But there is a way."

"If it was really not feasible, I would have stopped you when you made the decision."

The Time Rewinder said again: "Lock it in the energy block of the space cave. The energy block of the Cave Dwellers can lock consciousness."

"As long as it is frozen inside, it cannot die or escape."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up.

But he cautiously asked: "Will it not allow the administrator to absorb the energy block?"

"No. A pure consciousness body is an information flow, and cannot directly absorb energy, it needs to be converted through the Great Spirit. It is frozen in the energy block, unable to conduct consciousness connection outward, so it cannot access the Great Spirit."

"Does it have any impact on the Cave Dwellers?"

"No."

Xiaofu said: "The energy block is a solid environment created by the Cave Dwellers for themselves, and they are safest inside."

For the sake of safety, Zhou Yi also asked the person involved, Dong Shi.

They said: "Although we have never seen a conceptual life, it should be no problem if it is just a Light Core level. We also make Light Core body tools, and they used to be stored in these Cloud Tinctures."

Since this is the case.

Zhou Yi led the Cat God and brought the captured mechanical and electrical administrator to the bottom of the lunar landing area and put it into the energy block.

As soon as the two touched, the administrator was sucked into it.

It looked like a mass of green code solidified in an ice cube.

The Cat God reported: "Chairman, its consciousness and the outside world are completely cut off, and my BGM Domain can't connect to it either."

Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he started to synchronize his consciousness and started a dialogue with this prisoner.

"Administrator, can you hear me?"

"Who are you?"

The administrator's voice was strange, with only two tones, high and low.

"I am Zhou Yi from the Wasteland Development Company, do you know why I caught you?"

"I know."

The other party said: "Because I targeted and influenced the mechanical and electrical lives and semi-enlightened bodies here."

"So I have to ask you to stay here for a while."

"Can I apply to leave?"

"Of course not."

The administrator said: "I can promise not to use concatenation on personnel related to the Wasteland Development Company. The promise of a conceptual life will be recorded in itself, and associated with the Great Spirit. If violated, it will no longer be able to use the power of the Great Spirit. For us, it means losing all tools and becoming lonely ghosts without power."

It is reliable in terms of the Great Spirit's mechanism of not being able to lie and being inconsistent.

But.

Zhou Yi said: "That's not enough."

"You stay first, let the Legalist Faction calm down."

The administrator said: "Understood."

It was emotionally stable throughout the whole process.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but start to think.

Catching the mechanical and electrical administrator also consumed a lot of Light Seeds. Anyway, it is imprisoned here and cannot be converted into a Fire Seed life. We have to find a way to make up for this loss first.

Is there any way to use its power?

Xiaofu said: "Conceptual lives are very difficult to operate. If they move, they can easily contact the Great Spirit, so the operation is very risky."

Dong Shi suggested: "President Zhou, why don't we enter the energy block and try to contact it. See if we can use it as a tool."

Zhou Yi agreed.

As the Shelter slowly merged into the energy block.

After a while.

The mass of green code inside suddenly began to tremble, and it was split into 0s and 1s.

Zhou Yi was a little confused.

Did the Cave Dwellers dismantle the administrator?

After a long time, Dong Shi's reply came: "President Zhou, we have found a way to use it, recombine it! As long as it is fixed in the shelter, it can become our activity record place!"

"Now with it, we can record a lot of information!! We don't need mud slabs anymore, it's really easy to use!"
