Wasteland Development Diary

After returning to the company's base, Zhou Yi led the team to the sea to fish every day, leaving early and returning late.

The agricultural machinery brothers also parked next to the container house for temporary repairs.

The claw swine employee, Yezhua, was also formally introduced to everyone by Zhou Yi, stating that it was also a formal employee of the company and a member of the collective.

This initially made the two human employees a little nervous. They were locals from Maogu Town, and wild claw swine had attacked humans quite a bit. Getting along with such a colleague made them feel apprehensive.

Fortunately, Yezhua was quick-witted. It took the initiative to help A Jin lay gravel outside the container house, went to Maogu Town with Gong Zheng for trading, and carried goods back and forth.

Just as it had promised Zhou Yi.

"Master, I will get along well with my own people, don't worry."

Tianjin Knight Cui Mao, who was recovering from his injuries, sighed, "Your company is truly full of talent, not limited by species."

"But there's one thing I don't understand."

"Mr. Zhou, wouldn't it be inconvenient to manage due to language and custom differences?"

Zhou Yi said, "Our company emphasizes self-awareness. Employees need to have very good self-management skills. In the early stages of the company's establishment, there will definitely be various problems, and we will solve them one by one."

Of course, he himself had no problems.

However, for lifeforms like Yezhua with their own language systems, it's impossible to communicate directly with A Jin and the others. A way must be found to solve this pain point, because there may be new language speakers joining in the future.

Red Falcon suggested that Recursive City sells similar translation machines that can translate the languages of many races, even some more primitive expressions, such as the shell-knocking conversations between samurai crabs, and the internal calls of specific photon-receiving bird species.

However, these things are not cheap. A universal model costs 40 light seeds, and language updates are free later, but repairs and hardware upgrades require additional expenses.

It's almost half a house.

But the advantage of a translation machine is that it is more like a host and can be connected to many transceivers for simultaneous use within its coverage area.

These accessories also need to be purchased separately.

In short, it requires money.

The Red Falcon's update also requires money.

So Zhou Yi was fully engaged in fishing, trying to make his photon box a little fuller.

The Bone Man led the team and spent four full days with Emerald City before finally giving up.

Mushroom Forest did not give up despite his advice and still made the greatest possible effort.

Unfortunately, in front of Emerald City, all of this was meaningless.

Without a purchase agreement and owner recognition, all outsiders would be expelled.

However, building lifeforms cannot communicate in a conventional way, which leads to a chicken-and-egg dead cycle.

Zhou Yi looked at the aerial footage provided by Red Falcon.

The Bone Man was leading the Black Hand Mushrooms in a large-scale retreat, but there were still individual Black Hand Mushrooms, whether out of luck or pure disbelief, hiding in some of the floors.

In the end, when Emerald City moved, its whole body was surrounded by radiance, and those remaining Black Hand Mushrooms were instantly melted, turning into smoke and dust that was blown out of the building.

This scene terrified the Black Hand Mushrooms on the ground, and they scattered and fled, away from this awakened giant alien.

Zhou Yi's gaze focused on Emerald City.

It used the steel bars like tree roots under its body to prop itself up on the ground, forming huge hollow metal support feet, but its movement was light and smooth.

Emerald City's stride reminded Zhou Yi of the videos he had seen of astronauts landing on the moon. It was as if gravity had become very weak, allowing the tall body of the Dead Sea alien to become as light as a butterfly.

The giant's floating pace like a moonwalk, still put tremendous pressure on the ground with each fall. It trampled a path in the dense mushroom forest, heading straight east towards the Dead Sea in the night.

Zhou Yi stood at the front of the container house, slowly drinking a can of Coke.

As Emerald City slowly approached, the sense of oppression brought by the giant became stronger and stronger.

The employees all looked terrified, but seeing the chairman standing at the front, they did not dare to retreat and could only hold on.

The Eastern brothers remained vigilant on the other side.

Step by step.

Emerald City's body, covered in holes, became clearer and clearer.

Even the chirping of insects and the calls of birds disappeared.

When it was only one step away from Zhou Yi, it suddenly stopped, its legs contracted and sank, and its body slowly turned into a stationary state fixed to the ground, bringing another shock.

Zhou Yi walked alone to the bottom of Emerald City and entered the unit door.

He placed his left palm on the wall and held the photon box in his right hand.

"Come on, hand over the house."

"Here are 204 light seeds, full payment for the house, plus a 10-year prepayment of property management fees."

Emerald City's voice also sounded in his mind: "Do you choose to buy 3101 or 3102?"

The two rooms were not different in themselves, both were partially damaged.

Zhou Yi casually said, "3101."

"Then, start signing the purchase contract and officially carry out the owner identity verification."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yi suddenly noticed that two cameras, one in front and one behind, appeared on the wall, each projecting a layer of green light onto his chest and back for recording similar to scanning.

Emerald City's voice kept ringing.

"Facial recognition completed."

"Machine depth recognition completed."

"Please set your verification password."

……

"Binding completed."

"Owner Zhou Yi has completed registration, permission update completed, and rights relationship has been successfully constructed."

"Emerald City Phase II, Unit 1, ownership of 3101, has been changed to owner Zhou Yi."

"Dear owner, you will enjoy all the rights of Emerald City owners, including convening owner's meetings and making suggestions on matters related to property management... electing members of the owner's committee and enjoying the right to be elected... enjoying the right to know and supervise the use of common parts, common facilities and equipment, and related venues..."

Zhou Yi inquired about the details.

Then he discovered an opportunity: "Now that I am the only owner, I demand to hold an owner's meeting."

"This is your right."

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"Okay, then hold an owner's meeting immediately! Elect members of the owner's committee."

"Inviting owners... invitation completed, 1 owner should be present, 1 owner actually present."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Feasible!

He immediately said, "I choose myself!"

Since there were no competitors, Zhou Yi went through the process and became a member of the owner's committee.

The most important right of this position is to supervise, guide, and restrain property services.

In simple terms, it is to supervise Emerald City itself, which also has property functions.

In the era Zhou Yi was in before, there were various obstacles to truly implementing this. But when Emerald City itself became the property service provider, acting according to the norms, it became simple and clear instead.

The dilapidated high-rise announced: "Emerald City accepts your supervision and guidance, Committee Member."

Through this procedural path, Zhou Yi completed a roundabout way to gain de facto control over Emerald City.

He couldn't help but wipe his sweat.

It seems that no matter what era, buying a house for basic needs is something that must be done quickly.

3101 was full of dust. Without the preservation of the Dead Sea light film, various pieces of furniture had already rotted beyond recognition.

Soon, Zhou Yi discovered the convenience of the wasteland era.

"Emerald City, clean the room!"

"Yes, Committee Member."

……

Half an hour later, Zhou Yi walked out of the unit door of the building and waved to the stunned crowd outside: "Come on, let me take you inside to see."

Yezhua took the lead in following.

Then came A Jin and Gong Zheng, who was leaning on a crutch.

Cui Mao, with his arm in a sling, turned pale.

Unlike the previous few, he knew what the Dead Sea alien represented. The more he understood, the more he knew how dangerous this indescribable monster was.

He finally clenched his left fist and still gritted his teeth and followed behind.

Zhou Yi pressed the elevator and introduced it to the somewhat uneasy group.

"This is Emerald City."

"It is already an employee of our company, so don't worry. In the future, it will not only be a strong support and new force for our company, but also a protector of our farm."

A Jin and Gong Zheng were excited and their lips trembled when they heard this.

Cui Mao on the side looked horrified: "This, this... Mr. Zhou, how did you do this?"

He immediately realized it was inappropriate.

"I'm not asking about your secrets, but how is this possible... I've never heard of Dead Sea aliens being hired. They are a group of God-era monsters that are completely unable to communicate and understand."

Cui Mao was a little incoherent and his lips were dry.

"Well, actually it's not a secret."

Zhou Yi rubbed his fingers: "Give money, it also needs light seeds."

"Ah?"

"There is only one reason for not accepting such things as employment, and that is that the money is not enough."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly and raised his thumb: "As long as you give enough, even if there is a language barrier, you can run in both directions."

Cui Mao listened in a daze, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"So that's how it is... but how much is enough, how much does this Dead Sea alien want... tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands or millions..."

Zhou Yi shrugged: "Then you have to talk about it based on your own skills."
