Chapter 1392: Chapter 362: Mutual Support and Strange Players (Second Update)

The role of Spirit Soil is to accelerate growth, but the grain grown is contaminated by radiation and completely inedible.

He chose to seek help from his own mall, purchasing some purification tools.

He carefully cleaned the land, removing all energy radiation.

After confirming no issues, problems arose again over at the Gear Gang.

It was reported that many engineering devices couldn’t be started due to a lack of energy modules.

Although the energy module factory is still there, the condition to continue production is to repair the engineering facilities.

But without energy modules, the machinery needed for repairs cannot be started.

Wei Shan had no choice but to purchase Energy Barytes from the mall, using spiritual power to transform telekinesis and mash them into the size of energy modules to attempt to start the machinery.

The result was excessive energy output instantly overloading a piece of machinery.

Wei Shan had to change the plan, research forum information, and thoroughly understand the energy output efficiency of Energy Barytes.

Then he bought an energy chisel from the mall, embedded the Eagle-Headed Demon Life Soul to carve out three new energy tracks on the Energy Barytes.

This finally solved the issue of lacking energy modules.

Even more troublesome were many engineering devices lacking precision parts.

In this ruin, finding replacements was nearly impossible.

Wei Shan had to seek help from the Arms Merchant Guild, spending money to buy parts made by players for installation.

For parts that couldn’t match up, he had to find more professional Research Party teams, who are experts in handmade solutions.

As long as you provide sacrificial power, many problems can be solved.

Many of this ruined city’s problems rely on him for blood transfusion operation.

At least until the industrial capabilities are fully restored, he must personally assist in development.

Only when the entire city enters a stable operational state can he extricate himself.

At dusk, he stood atop the half-repaired energy station, gazing at the distant inhabited points lighting up with sporadic lights.

Those lights flicker like fragile fireflies, yet they weigh on him more heavily than the neon in Neon Port.

Lex of Neon Port only needs to worry if the Nightmare Scenes are scary enough, while he faces the real need for survival here.

The only comfort is that the Shock Value output of this city is 28 times that of Neon Port.

And it’s still in an explosive growth phase; there’s no need to worry about future Shock Value output.

A bit bitter, a bit tiring, but at least there’s hope for the future.

In the following two days, Wei Shan remained busy in New Cassini.

That day, just as he finished his task, a subordinate hurriedly came to report.

They reported that the Iron Hand Gang in the South District secretly withheld some of the grain and water intended for Challengers.

Some residents were hurt in their arm while resisting.

Hearing this, Wei Shan was immediately angered.

Upon careful inquiry, he learned that similar incidents had secretly occurred several times.

These petty actions keep surfacing like bubbles in the tide.

The reason is not hard for Wei Shan to understand.

The gang leaders at the time still hold his deterrence in mind, but the lower-ranking leaders are already restless.

They haven’t witnessed his methods outside the Nightmare Scene, perhaps only seeing him as a bluffing dream-maker, thinking the city’s operation relies on them.

After all, clearing ruins and maintaining order, these gang members are overtly the ones taking action.

To resolve this issue, Wei Shan instructed to gather all the leaders and members of the Eight Great Gangs to the abandoned mining area in the East City District.

This time, he intends to resolve this issue completely.

While waiting, the heads and members of the Eight Great Gangs arrived one after another.

Wei Shan stood in mid-air, and as his gaze swept across each face, it caused each to lower their head.

Once all members were present, his gaze turned to a short distance away.

There stood a scrapped mining machine, its towering steel body over ten meters tall, rusty but imposing, leaving deep groves on the ground beneath its tracks.

At that moment, Wei Shan lifted his right hand, pointing remotely at the mining machine.

Suddenly, an ear-aching sound of metal friction arose.

The mining machine’s hard alloy shell seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand, instantly caving inward.

Sparks burst from the steel’s twisting folds.

The huge ten-meter-high structure shrank continuously as Wei Shan’s five fingers clenched slowly.

The tracks, drill, and cockpit were crushed together like a paper ball,

originally sharp metal edges were rolled into blunt-rounded arcs.

Seeing this sight, all gang members widened their eyes, some even instinctively took a step back.

Wei Shan slowed the compression rate, letting the metal friction roar in each gang member’s ear.

A minute later, Wei Shan let go.

The round metal ball floating in mid-air thunderously fell to the ground, making a dull sound, even causing the ground to tremble.

After finishing all this, Wei Shan smiled as he turned to the pale-faced leaders:

"New Cassini lacks manpower, but not disobedient waste."

His gaze swept over each face:

"Now think carefully, is it your flesh that is firm, or the mining machine?"

Hearing this, members of the major gangs felt weak in their hearts.

They knew that all their arrogant weapons, against this terrifying human-shaped life before them, were no different from toys.

If their opponent wants them dead, they can’t cause any harm even if they give their all.

"From today on, I don’t want to hear about anyone secretly withholding resources. Apart from the portion given for your work, to get extra resources, you have to challenge the Nightmare Trial Scene. Next time I hear of anyone making small moves in secret, you...including your supervisor, better have your will written in advance."
