Wasteland Development Diary

Snowflakes fluttered outside the window.

Zhou Yi sat on the sofa, scooping at a can of yellow peach slices with a spoon.

Winter was perfect for eating this.

He had been busy with this and that for the past few days, and now the construction of Building 3 was nearing completion, Da Vinci had been released into his comfortable leveling-up zone, and the crops in the fields were waiting for the final brewing of time.

The relatively arduous initial work of this winter was basically completed, and the next step was the waiting phase.

Red Falcon, however, reported a situation: "There's one more thing."

"When hiring Iron Steed and Bronze Bull, I went through the process through personal channels. However, in the official documents filed in Recursive City, I still used the official organization name of [Wasteland Development Company] as the employer, wrote down your name, and filled in the address of our Mao Valley Town. Later, rescuing Doctor Da Vinci was also done in the company's name."

"The advantage of this is that the company will be included in the credit system because it has service cooperation with Recursive City. I just received a message reminder that because of these two completed transactions, especially the second high-value rescue, the company's credit rating has been officially confirmed as C."

Zhou Yi ate a piece of yellow peach with the syrup: "You did this on purpose, it must be useful, right?"

"It's very useful."

Red Falcon explained: "The social system of Mechanical Cities has two types of currency. Light Seed currency is the quantification of the prices of various goods and services, while credit currency is the evaluation standard for the priority of cooperation procedures."

"Credit can be seen as a kind of permission."

The drone said: "If the credit rating is high enough, you can even directly borrow money in Recursive City to purchase services, and you can also ask for help from B-level Mechanical Lives."

Zhou Yi immediately perked up and made a detailed inquiry.

Simply put, the level of credit determines the types of things you can buy in Recursive City, and the amount of Light Seeds determines whether you can buy them.

The most immediate benefit of the Wasteland Development Company's credit rating being certified as C is that if you issue a recruitment announcement again, you won't be as embarrassed as you were the first time when you couldn't recruit anyone.

Mechanical Lives from E to C level are all likely to come and apply for jobs.

However, the credit rating itself is also fluctuating. If you accumulate enough consumption in Recursive City and don't receive a large number of negative reviews, the credit rating will be further improved. Conversely, if you violate the cooperation agreement or receive complaints from partners, it will lead to a drop in the rating.

Red Falcon further emphasized: "Although the management methods of different Mechanical Cities are slightly different, the credit rating is universal. This will help the company develop various businesses in the future."

Zhou Yi agreed, but also had a little doubt: "I hired an accident doctor like Da Vinci, why did the rating increase instead? If it's just because it made up for the loss of urban public services, can't you brush credit in this way?"

"The algorithm is more complex, I am not a related function and cannot answer."

The drone responded: "But it is basically impossible to maliciously use the rules to increase credit. Credit is just a unit of currency, quantifying the risks and benefits equally."

"For example, donating 10,000 Light Seeds to Recursive City, then you can only borrow 10,000 Light Seeds from here at most."

Zhou Yi understood.

Essentially, it is still an equivalent exchange, but credit has become the threshold for the exchange limit.

But for the company, improving the rating among Mechanical Lives is worth the price just for hiring.

For highly professional positions such as farming, mining, construction, and medical care, handing them over to Mechanical Life is a good choice.

Zhou Yi looked at the heavy snow outside the window and suddenly thought: "The last batch of people who went to Jitou Town to promote, have been gone for 4 days, right? Haven't they returned yet?"

"Nemo's feedback, the messages from the Sand Rats said that they didn't encounter any accidents. It should be delayed for some reason. The recent heavy snow and windy weather will make it inconvenient to travel at night."

Red Falcon said so.

At night, figures appeared on the horizon.

Through the drone's high-definition lens, Zhou Yi saw that below were two rows of people lined up, all teenagers in their teens. They were wearing ragged clothes, shivering from the cold, constantly rubbing their hands and breathing into them.

Cao Dayuan, the leader, took the lead, holding a glow stick in his hand, leading the crowd towards this side, while walking and talking to them.

This situation stunned Zhou Yi.

So many people, are they going to move in directly?

Zhou Yi trotted all the way down from the elevator.

Outside, Gong Zheng, leaning on a cane, was already receiving this group of immigrants from afar.

Seeing Zhou Yi, Gong Zheng smiled and couldn't hide his joy: "Chairman, I didn't expect to disturb you. This time Cao Dayuan has done a great thing silently. He brought a full 103 people here, and they will all live here this winter."

Cao Dayuan also came over quickly. He covered his sparse head with a broken hat, his beard was covered with snow like powdered sugar, and he walked with deep and shallow steps, but he was in good spirits.

"Chairman."

He showed a somewhat embarrassed smile, wiped his red nose with the back of his hand, and rubbed his hands: "Didn't you say you wanted to find someone to try living here? I thought, instead of looking for residents who already have a place to stay, it's better to find people who don't have a place to live yet."

"Jitou Town is much bigger than Mao Valley Town, and there are many local scavengers. They can only live outside, which is a little better than us outsiders."

"Their previous generation was from there, and this generation couldn't find a job and had no place to live, so they could only build a shed themselves. Winter is not much better than Mao Valley Town, and people will freeze to death."

"Many people in Jitou Town just took the paper, the paper is very expensive, and can be exchanged for money, but they didn't plan to move here, most people are still timid. I know this, if it were me, I would do the same."

Cao Dayuan's voice was deep and slow: "Later, I discussed it with everyone. Since there are no additional requirements for the trial stay, then anyone is fine, so we found the scavenger brothers there. They don't have much belongings themselves, so they came over to try their luck."

Gong Zheng showed a sly smile next to him: "This is not easy. If you change someone, it is impossible for them to believe so."

He explained: "Chairman, Cao Dayuan is good at growing mushrooms, many people know that, foreign scavengers sometimes follow merchants to come here, all the way from the Death Dunes to try their luck. If they are unlucky and have nothing to eat, find Cao Dayuan, he will help. Everyone believes what he says."

Zhou Yi glanced at Cao Dayuan again.

It turned out that this guy was still Mao Valley Town's Little Song Jiang, with a bit of a Jianghu timely rain feeling, no wonder everyone listened to his call.

"No, I just think that mushrooms are ultimately grown to be eaten."

Cao Dayuan was a little embarrassed to be praised in person, he rubbed his forehead with the back of his hand again: "Anyone may encounter trouble, if there is a bite to eat, everyone will share it. Maybe I will need everyone's help in the future."

Zhou Yi's impression of him further increased.

He has a bit of a leader's temperament.

"You did a good job, Lao Cao." Zhou Yi patted him on the shoulder: "You've worked hard all the way."

This sound of Lao Cao made Cao Dayuan stunned, but he nodded.

"There's one more thing." Zhou Yi looked at this local who had refused his offer: "Do you want to work for our company?"

Cao Dayuan's face hesitated, as if he didn't know how to respond.

Zhou Yi told him: "Don't have any psychological burden, don't you want to change the face of Mao Valley Town and make it better? Come to me, you can do it, your goal and the company's goal are the same."

"You grow mushrooms, you should know that mushrooms will only grow in a suitable environment, the better the environment, the better it grows. What we have to do is to change this place, so that Mao Valley Town's mushrooms will have a good harvest, and the locals don't have to leave their hometowns to make a living in other places."

These words finally made Cao Dayuan make up his mind and said with his head down: "Chairman, I was ignorant in the past, please take care of me in the future."

Zhou Yi smiled: "Don't worry about it."

"Lao Cao, you guys go to Building 2 and squeeze in a little bit first, Building 3 will be completed in the next two days, and then you can move in."

Zhou Yi instructed: "Leave the matter of settling them to you, if you need anything, find Gong Zheng."

The latest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

"Okay."

Cao Dayuan said: "Don't worry, Building 2 is very spacious, completely enough to live in."

"And Chairman, these people are just the first batch, I also asked people to bring a message to the scavengers in Shagang, and let them come over too. There should be more people coming later."

Zhou Yi was delighted to hear this.

There was an unexpected gain.

In this way, a group of scavengers who lived in the open air in Jitou Town came to Emerald City in winter and officially moved in.

Two days later.

The scavengers from Jitou Town moved into Building 3.

Three more days passed.

Three cars arrived outside Emerald City.

The leader was still Qian Su driving a large truck.

The other one was all black, almost a large beetle, and the last one was square, like a matchbox moving on the snow.

Unlike "Mission", these two are not Mechanical Lives.

"It's just a clumsy imitation made with Imprint Light Technique."

Red Falcon commented: "The light-imprinted cars made by human cities are of poor quality and have a high failure rate. However, there are not many humans who can use this kind of vehicle."

The beetle-type car is Boss Sha's car, and there are several young women in makeup and leather clothes inside. The matchbox car is sitting Zheng Bo and his young follower.

Knowing that there were many scavengers living in Building 3 that they had booked, both of them changed their faces slightly.

Boss Sha said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I have no objection to scavengers themselves. Scavenging is an ancient profession. However, the places where they gather are usually not very good, they urinate and defecate everywhere, spit everywhere, and the stench emanating from their bodies... these are a bit of a headache."

"To be honest, they will affect the value and style of Emerald City here. Such a good place should be left to the upper class, they simply don't know how to appreciate the power and beauty here."

"Dead Sea alien body, a group of people soaking in fine wine and smoke pills, everyone can watch the monsters outside fight to the death, while indulging themselves with the girls, it is simply a great place to find fun..."

Zhou Yi was shocked.

This guy originally wanted to open an orgy!

Damn, what kind of place do you think my Emerald City is!

Zhou Yi immediately solemnly declared: "They are residents of Building 3, and there is no difference between them and you two. In addition, the behavior that Boss Sha, you said is strictly prohibited in Emerald City. We are a serious place here."

Cao Dayuan gave Zhou Yi a reminder.

To develop and produce, you have to take the mass line, and unite and unite the largest number of people.

Emerald City also needs a large number of residents to move in.

Ordinary people have very low requirements, they just want a house to live in in winter, so that it can be less cold.

These people cherish the opportunity of Emerald City very much, they are honest and do not cause trouble.

They are the high-quality customers that the company needs.

If Boss Sha's customers move in, Zhou Yi is worried that they will spiritually pollute Emerald City, and it will become a strange shape in the future.

"What a pity."

Boss Sha tried to persuade unsuccessfully, and finally smiled bitterly helplessly: "What a great business opportunity, what a pity, Mr. Zhou, my customers like these stimuli. Then I have to go back and explain to them, I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future. Mr. Zhou, I will leave first."

He bowed slightly, got into the car, and turned the car around and left.

Zhou Yi looked at the old man who stayed behind: "Mr. Zheng, what do you think?"

"I have no requirements, I used to sleep in the wild when I was young."

Zheng Tao's face was calm, and he said with a smile: "If possible, I will live next to Qian Su, at least there is someone I know."

Qian Su clapped his iron hands: "Okay, okay, I also want to be neighbors with Zheng Bo."

Zhou Yi also greeted with a smile: "No problem, welcome to Emerald City."
