Chapter 1301 The Basic Situation of the Great Wilderness
"'Floyd'...?"
Fu Luo looked at the tall and thin man in front of him and was extremely shocked.
Then he looked at Lin Yu.
"You're not kidding, are you?"
Lin Yu didn't answer, but Lao Zheng spoke.
"Brother, this is no joke. I am the founder of the 'Psychological Society' and the original 'Freud'. It's the real deal!"
Fu Luo was shocked again: "Then how did you end up here?"
"Because I was already dead, and then the boss picked me up and turned me into his summoned creature... I'll just make the best of it," Lao Zheng shrugged. "Brother, I know you might be prejudiced against me because of my identity, but don't worry, I'm working for Boss Lin now, and I've completely turned over a new leaf."
"But... Boss, I have a question too." After answering Fu Luo's question, Lao Zheng looked at Lin Yu, "Hasn't he already..."
Fu Luo looked at what Lao Zheng was doing to him and explained on behalf of Lin Yu: "I know I'm dead, there's no need to hide it from me."
"I also have a rough idea of what my current life form is like."
Old Zheng looked at Fu Luo and pushed his glasses. "As expected of a 'detective', you're really smart... But, the first time the boss tried to use your soul fragments to revive you, he failed. How did you succeed this time?"
Fu Luo continued to answer: "It should be because of the credit of the head of the Buyetian family - this may be why Lao Lin chose to come to the Never-Sleeping City. In addition to investigating the murderer who killed me, he also wanted to use the power of the head of the Buyetian family."
Old Zheng suddenly realized: "That's true. After all, the head of the Buyetian family is chosen by God, and even by the standards of God's choice, she is considered extremely strong..."
Lin Yu watched Lao Zheng and Fu Luo talking to each other, exchanging information and figuring out the current situation without his participation at all. He felt relieved but also a little surprised.
"It's really easy for two smart people to communicate... But I thought you two would have a hard time getting along because of your positions."
Lin Yu spoke.
Old Zheng shook his head. "Boss, my membership in the Psychology Society is a thing of the past. Now that I'm working under you, how dare I vent my anger on your friends?"
Fu Luo also laughed: "Old Lin, you have always been unconventional in your actions. I know this. Although I have a close relationship with "Order", I don't necessarily think that people from the other three organizations are completely incompatible with each other."
"What's more... I'm confident that no matter what this guy did before, he won't be able to cause any trouble in your hands."
"It would be best if you two could get along harmoniously. After all, you two are indispensable for the upcoming activities," Lin Yu said seriously. "Old Zheng...how much do you know about the Great Wasteland of the Wasteland Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Old Zheng realized that the topic had entered the "business" stage, and he restrained his display of loyalty.
"I do have some understanding of the Great Wilderness... Boss, your current experience has more or less enabled you to realize that the six most common of the ten realms are actually in a state of constant danger and extreme insecurity—and most of them have experienced a devastating catastrophe and are in a state of civilizational discontinuity."
Lin Yu nodded.
"Yes, that's not hard to notice."
Old Zheng whispered, "This is the dangerous part of the Great Wilderness—compared to the catastrophes that other worlds have already experienced... the catastrophe in the Wasteland Realm is ongoing."
"At this moment, although the wasteland world has the city of Never Sleep City... let's not discuss the merits and demerits of Never Sleep City's system, or whether the lower-class people living here or the refugees living in the apocalypse have a higher happier index. At least... Never Sleep City is indeed 'civilized,' right?"
Lin Yu did not deny: "That's right."
"But... the only city in the entire wasteland, the only gathering place of civilization, is the City That Never Sleeps—and the rest of the wasteland, the entire wasteland... is desolate, barren, and chaotic."
"There's a lack of water, the soil lacks nutrients, crops are difficult to grow, and there are few wild animals... Honestly, the wilderness isn't as dangerous as the Black Swamp and the Prison Mountain wilderness, which are filled with man-eating beasts and demons. But... it's too barren!"
"It is extremely difficult for a normal human being to obtain food, clothing, and other necessities in the Great Wilderness."
"The entire Great Wilderness's 'ecological environment' is truly a super desert. If you get lost in the Great Wilderness, lack of food and water will definitely be your number one problem."
“While it still has spiritual oases and biomes, finding them is by no means easy.”
"But from another dimension... the wilderness is very rich."
Lin Yu was puzzled when he heard what Lao Zheng said: "Poor and rich?"
Old Zheng nodded.
"Yes, even though there's no food or water, and no normal life... But the City That Never Sleeps has so many 'pioneers' is definitely not just for fun."
"Because the Great Wasteland provides the cornerstone for the existence of the entire Never-Sleeping City, and is also the most important power system and source of technology in the Wasteland World, alchemy."
"Although it lacks a normal biome, the Great Wilderness is full of alchemical materials. Areas of extremely high alchemical concentrations and converging alchemical veins can be found everywhere. Even if we spend a fortune in the most advanced laboratories in the City of Night, we can't replicate the alchemical environments of the Great Wilderness."
"Furthermore, due to the existence of the alchemical veins, those alchemical materials are even 'renewable'—in fact, many creatures will mutate and transform into natural 'alchemical life'!"
"In some places, you can even find natural 'alchemical creations'."
"Of course, although these places are 'rich', they are definitely not suitable for living... On the contrary, they are basically extremely dangerous, and some can even be called 'forbidden zones for life'."
"However, as a player, going to these places does have some advantages... Because these places with extremely high concentrations of alchemical activity often interfere with the proper functioning of alchemy and alchemical creations, and may even trigger adverse chain reactions. Therefore, for the natives of the Wasteland Realm, especially those of the City That Never Sleeps, fighting in the 'rich mining areas' of the Great Wasteland is something they try their best to avoid."
"This is why most members of the Never-Sleeping City pioneer teams are so individually formidable—they often have to use the most primitive equipment with minimal alchemical activity, relying solely on their own personal qualities and skills to deal with various emergencies, including alchemical life force runaways and attacks from the Great Wilderness people."
