Wasteland Border Inspector

Cheng Ye couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, "Elder Qian gave me three treasures, but I’m afraid he doesn’t know that in the past few days, just relying on the Living Water Essence to survive, I’ve already used four..."

Amidst his tumultuous thoughts, he forced himself to stop, now was not the time to worry about the future of Happiness City.

If the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up.

Even if they take a crooked path, Happiness City is still the undisputed overlord of Stone Province, and no one dares to provoke it easily.

Just like Yue Ye, if they want to destroy it, they just will, without needing too much entanglement.

Moreover, giving up the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse or the Extraordinary power is absolutely impossible, Tan Ming’s own path of belief hasn’t succeeded either; even if he crosses this hurdle, there might still be more difficulties ahead.

Coexisting with infection sources and the Extraordinary is the only path; only by walking this road can true power be obtained.

As for the pain brought by the cost...

If one Iron Body isn’t enough, then find more Iron Bodies for fusion, there’s always a way to completely isolate it.

Even if Happiness City has only one Dai Zun, what about the other Shelter Cities, or who knows how many people with pain immunity lurk in the vast Wilderness.

And Ze Ye Physique, its strength alone is far from enough; more Physical Skills must be found for fusion to stack the basic values higher.

As the energy that can be mobilized increases, the idea of integrating a large number of basic Lv1 skills can also be brought up, and by accumulating bit by bit, we can always go further on this Symbiotic Path.

Thinking of this, Cheng Ye came back to his senses, turned his head, and asked, "Where’s Wang Kang?"

"Prosecutor Wang was discharged two days ago. Because you were in a deep sleep, we didn’t dare to tell the real situation, only informing him you were receiving a secret deep-level treatment. He specifically asked to find him at the usual spot in Happiness Garden after your discharge."

"Alright, thank you." Cheng Ye asked no more and quietly waited for the last eight bottles of medicine to finish transfusing.

By the time Cui Qiao helped him remove the needle, the sky outside had completely darkened, resembling very much the scene when he first entered the Rebirth Medical space over ten days ago.

He got up, took a shower, and changed into his own clothes, not wanting to stay here for a moment longer.

Even with hundreds of people attending to him, even though this place was among the safest spots in the Wasteland, comparable to Firewood Track Mountain, even relying on the cost of the Shrinking Earth Giant Louse and the Living Water Essence could rapidly enhance his strength, nothing could quench his desire to leave.

Only two more portions of Living Water Essence were left unredeemed, and here, neither could he supply large amounts of energy to the Collector, nor could he trigger its search functionality.

Now that the costs had utterly ended, all he could think about was returning to Dapo Town to repair the small hydroelectric station to recharge the Collector as soon as possible.

The days without... charging were truly agonizing!

"Inspector Cheng, are you... discharged?" Cui Qiao was stunned for a moment, completely unprepared for Cheng Ye’s decisive action.

Most people who come to Rebirth Medical are reluctant to leave, wishing to stay for three to five months until they receive a forced discharge notification.

But not Cheng Ye, eager to dress up and leave the moment he woke, as if staying here a second longer was torture.

"Yes, please arrange it, I want to leave today."

Cheng Ye glanced around the living room and added, "Please pack these books, resources, and equipment for me."

"Don’t worry, after the discharge procedures are completed, someone will deliver your belongings to your place."

"Good!" Cheng Ye nodded and followed Cui Qiao to the first floor for the procedures.

The first thing handed over was the bill.

Though he didn’t have to spend a single cent, seeing a bill that thickly printed it seemed like half a book still made him dumbfounded.

Cheng Ye flipped straight to the last page and suddenly felt a bit weak in the knees.

"No way, I only stayed 11 days, and I’ve spent... 130,000 Contribution Points? Did you perhaps make a mistake?"

"Every dose of medication, supplement, and equipment consumable you used is recorded in detail."

Cui Qiao quickly explained, "The main expense came from the strong painkiller injection imported from a Shelter City under the Fire Alliance, with a single cost of 50,000 points. Additionally, the medicine you transfused these days, each bottle costs over 200 points, and you used 217 bottles, these two alone cost 52,700 points."

"Moreover, besides regular meals, you also needed 20 bags of red bag Nutrient Paste daily, each bag costs 150 Contribution Points, totaling 18,000 points."

Wow, this exhausted 120,000 points?

Cheng Ye couldn’t help but click his tongue, silently thankful it wasn’t the inspection station’s budget, or the station might go bankrupt directly.

"Alright, no problem."

He stopped dwelling on it, signing his name in bold strokes.

After signing the bill, another dozen pages of medical disclosure forms were handed over.

Cheng Ye was too lazy to examine them closely, glancing just enough to confirm no "payment terms" and directly signed his name.

Lastly, Cui Qiao handed over a stack of vouchers, each with a face value of "10,000 points."

"The Elder explained that this is part of your reward for next year’s tasks, totaling 20 vouchers, summing up to 200,000 Contribution Points, which can be redeemed for resources at Rebirth Medical. Not only can you use them yourself, but also transfer them to subordinates, opening treatment permissions."

"Can it be transferred without Inner City qualification?" Cheng Ye instinctively asked, shaking his head immediately.

Entering the Inner City costs only 1,000 points, trivial in the face of a 10,000 point voucher.

Moreover, even Dai Zun, who isn’t an Inner City resident, can come in for treatment, showing that qualification isn’t crucial.

"How do I use these vouchers?"

"You just need to tap them on the Defense Communication device to activate them, and transfer them directly within the system," Cui Qiao demonstrated.

Cheng Ye followed the instructions, picking up a voucher and tapping it on the Defense Communication’s sensing area.
