Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 597 Who here isn't acting on behalf of someone else?
Moon.

Inside the light cage.

Mrs. Mei couldn't understand how she had suddenly been sent to such a place.

She looked around.

A blindingly white layer of light flowed across the ground, the surface was pitted and uneven, and no life could be sensed. Perception was suppressed to its limit, unable to extend beyond the body.

what is the problem?

He was still discussing future plans with the dream demons, and had just become the representative of the celestial beings. He was celebrating and looking forward to the future with great ambition... when a dazzling light shone on him and he was sent here.

She suddenly noticed a man wearing a wig standing next to her.

The man said in a cold tone, "Newcomer, get to work."

"Go to work?"

Mrs. Mei asked, "What do you mean?"

"Of course, it's about doing work."

The other party remained unmoved: "Do what I do, do what I do, and don't do what you shouldn't do, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

The man was wearing wrinkled work clothes, his eyes were neither surprised nor pleased, but the oppressive power he exuded made Mrs. Mei feel uneasy.

This person's strength is above mine.

It is also a photonucleus.

Madam Mei silently followed behind the other person to the other side of the light cage, where there was actually another person.

The man, dressed in a white coat, looked like a doctor or a researcher. He was refining flowing energy and surface sand and gravel, shaping it into a square, white stone.

Unlike the man with the wig, the man in white kept muttering to himself.

"I have to get out, I have to get out."

"The modification is not yet complete. The high-grade experimental subjects are still on the stage, waiting for me."

"I have to go back, I have to go back..."

He seems a bit mystical.

Following the example of the wig next to her, Mrs. Mei began to create white branches, which were a ceramic-like structure formed by solidified amber.

She asked in a low voice, "Is that person crazy?"

"He's not crazy, he was like this when he came."

The man with the wig said casually, "That's just his personality."

"What the hell is this place?"

"Celestial Prison".

The man with the wig said blankly, "This is a place where prisoners are forced to work."

Madam Mei looked bewildered: "But I've only just passed the assessment and taken office as acting..."

"Who here isn't acting on behalf of someone else?"

The man with the wig frowned: "They were all imprisoned here after being disciplined."

Madam Mei's lips parted slightly, her eyes glazed over, and she was momentarily shaken.

Acting as a prison.

They were both acting as proxies... and were captured by the Celestials and brought here to serve their sentences.

but.

Mrs. Mei still couldn't understand.

I've only just become the acting supervisor; I haven't done anything yet. If I make a mistake, neglect my duties, or fail in my responsibilities, at least I should be allowed to do something before being punished...

Feeling so frustrated, she couldn't help but voice her doubts to the wig.

"That means someone reported it."

The wig didn't seem out of the ordinary.

He said calmly, "The agency business is now subject to strong regulation and is no longer in a state of unrestricted operation as it used to be."

The word "report" brought the muttering man in white back to his senses, and he looked over.

"He was also reported to the authorities."

The wig pointed at the man in white.

Mrs. Mei felt somewhat numb.

The man in white walked over, clutching the foundation stone, his eyes fixed on Madam Mei: "You were also reported? Was it a report made under your real name or anonymously? Who reported it?"

Mrs. Mei looked bewildered: "I don't know, I came to my senses and was brought here."

"Tell me about your situation," the man in white said.

Mrs. Mei recounted how she had passed the brutal selection process of the Battle Royale to become the Third Agent.

“I was your previous acting agent number three.”

The man in white looked at the wig next to him: "Number Four, you were the first one here, what do you think is going on with her?"

Mrs. May also looked at the oldest and most senior prisoners.

The man with the wig pondered for a moment: "Is there anything you're hiding?"

"..."

Madam Mei hesitated for a moment: "And then there's the matter of the Nightmare Clan. They provided me with a large quantity of Light Seeds and taught me a great deal of experience in related competitions, including methods for using gems..."

"Then it's clear."

The wig said confidently, "Election fraud. It must be because I accepted funding from the Nightmare. The Celestials' assessment is extremely strict now. Even if the quality of the offerings to the Celestials is slightly inferior, it will lead to punishment. That's how I got in." "Also, there are reports against the Agents now, which are particularly frequent. I was reported for double-dealing and massacring mutants, but that didn't actually happen... Being an Agent is getting harder and harder."

Madam Mei turned pale upon hearing this, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

I had never heard of this before.

The risks of acting on behalf of a celestial being are so high...

She asked cautiously, "Can we still go out?"

"go out?"

The wig said, "It's good enough that you're alive, don't overthink it. Newcomer, focus on building a solid foundation."

Mrs. Mei felt nothing but bitterness.

I thought I had embarked on a broad and promising path, becoming a celestial agent standing at the pinnacle of the world. Who could have imagined it would turn out like this?

The scene from before flashed through her mind.

Zhou Yi once said something like this.

—I hope you are prepared to pay the price for gaining power.

She didn't pay attention at the time.

Looking back now, that sentence clearly foreshadowed my current predicament.

He must know something.

Mrs. Mei felt nothing but regret.

The joy of rising in status made her less perceptive and cautious. If she had asked a few more questions back then, or maintained her previous low profile... she might have received some hints and advice from Zhou Yi, and perhaps there would have been a turning point.

at this point.

Mrs. May tried to pull herself together. She was never one to give up easily.

Let's get to work first.

As long as you're alive, there's still hope.

……

Zhou Yi could see everything inside the light cage.

Mrs. Mei has a strong ability to manage her emotions. In a short period of time, she has adjusted her mindset, completed the role transition, and started to quietly work alongside the old prisoners, carrying bricks.

Whether it was Wang Fengwu, Wu Ye, or Madam Mei, they all quickly adapted to their new roles, chose the most suitable way to survive in their new environment, and then waited for their opportunities.

It must be said that those chosen to act as substitutes are all highly adaptable.

Zhou Yi's gaze lingered on Madam Mei.

The fact that she was brought here this time actually had nothing to do with Madam Mei herself.

It's just a power struggle over the authority to act as an agent.

In the conflict between the company and the Nightmare Group, Mrs. Mei was simply the one who bore the pressure and the consequences.

Zhou Yi also gave her a chance.

No matter what.

Between the Dream Demon Group and the company, Mrs. Mei chose the former.

Then there's nothing more to say.

Yagami observed his three employees from the side, his face full of satisfaction: "Now that we have three people, we have a basic team."

Zhou Yi asked, "What do you plan to have them do? Keep making light-colored amber base stones?"

Night God said, "I want them to go to the Twin Towers region to be in charge of gem construction and assembly. As we collect more and more Celestial corpses in the future, we'll have them process the gem cells from these corpses."

Zhou Yi nodded: "That's a good idea."

After all, they are all talents who have been rigorously selected by the heavens and man.

These three are all light cores that have been transformed by gemstones, and they are naturally compatible with the Celestial Gemstone, so they can be considered to be professionally matched.

Zhou Yi then asked, "How is the restoration of the old human world within the gems progressing?"

When this was mentioned, Yagami's gaze became somewhat unfocused.

"Still in progress..."

"Didn't you say it would be done quickly?"

"The actual situation is more difficult than expected."

Yagami argued, "Because multiple old human consciousnesses are projected inside, the difficulty will continue to increase as the number increases... Six months, give me another six months, and I will definitely do it well."

"I'm currently building my first town, but I didn't expect that creating a city based on consciousness that can interact with a projected consciousness entity would be so difficult..."

"Moreover, there are some strange problems with the projected world itself. You'll understand once you come and take a look."

Zhou Yi said, "Take your time, there's no rush."

at this time.

Cat God suddenly said, "Chairman, we received a message from Canghai Jun saying that the Dream Demon Group has sent a representative to visit you. They want to discuss the previous matter..."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly.

In the wasteland era, demonstrating strength is still the most effective approach.

"Tell Lord Canghai to take good care of the guests first. I have some things to attend to here, and I'll go back after I'm done."

"Yes, Chairman."
