Wasteland Border Inspector-Chapter 245 - 115: Material Harvest, Li Changfeng’s Friendship Fee
Two consecutive searches, both successful!
After reaching a 100% compatibility rate, the additional 50% latent success rate is indeed effective during item searches!
During the second item search, the collector, just like with previous search skills, conveyed specific probability explanations.
Under normal circumstances, each item search consumes 50% energy, with a base success rate of only 25%.
After being promoted to joint collector, the success rate can be increased by adding charging value.
Each 1% of charging value increases the success rate by an equivalent 1%.
In other words, investing the full 100% charging can forcibly push the probability to 75%.
However, at this moment, Cheng Ye has not invested additional energy, solely relying on the bonus from full compatibility, he has already reached the 75% success probability line.
This means that if he wants to ensure search success in the future, he only needs to invest an additional 25% of the charging value after achieving full compatibility for a guaranteed success!
"A 75% probability succeeding twice in a row; indeed, tonight’s luck is quite good..."
"Of course, it might also be due to the inspector scenario influence, this scenario has never failed once!"
Cheng Ye took a deep breath, feeling as if every pore from head to toe was breathing freely, every inch of his muscles and bones conveyed a sense of liberating pleasure.
It’s a real thrill!
It’s genuinely refreshing!
Life is indeed full of incredible opportunities.
If he hadn’t decided to steal electricity tonight, if he hadn’t brought Long and Engineer Liu to enjoy that beef hotpot.
Given his identity in Happiness City, even if he knew there was a Fog Cave connecting to Firewood in the resting hall, he would have absolutely no qualification to step through it and reach the human shelter city on the Wasteland.
Though B4 is just one of the secondary zones in Firewood Shelter City, the items found here are significant enough to influence his future development trajectory.
Especially during fieldwork, having a flying unit ensures maximum safety!
"Moreover, the items found are just like the previous Horned Starfish, stored in the pendant!"
Cheng Ye took several deep breaths to calm himself down, reaching towards his neck and pretending to pull out the pendant from his collar for a glance.
When he found the Horned Starfish last time, it was automatically stored in the pendant space, though there wasn’t a notification on how much more it can accommodate.
But now, he got the answer.
In the glass core’s center, four fan-shaped areas are neatly arranged, with the Horned Starfish occupying one quarter, enveloped in a blue energy stream.
The Flying Wing Assault Unit had shrunk into a tiny model, occupying another quarter.
The black and silver wings still tremble, emitting circles of purple light below, mirroring the shape seen outside.
Opposite it are the so-called "Inspector Four-piece Set," also miniaturized.
Due to the tiny model, details are indistinct; Cheng Ye glanced and immediately redirected his attention, planning to examine it in detail later.
"It seems each item acquired from searches occupies one-quarter of space, unrelated to size. I wonder if upgrading will extend this space further."
Cheng Ye stared at the fan-shaped divisions in the pendant, silently noting this rule.
This is good news.
"I just wonder whether these stored items are single-use or can be stored and retrieved repeatedly..."
Cheng Ye calculated internally, instantly using the idea to retrieve the pendant as it slipped back onto his neck.
If they can be accessed repeatedly, it’s practically an artifact! 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
The Flying Wing Assault Unit can be summoned anytime; in case of danger, it can ascend and escape, undetectable.
If the item is irretrievable once taken out, it needs careful use.
There’s no issue using it in the Wilderness, but Happiness City hasn’t seen such a thing put to use, and given his current status, it’s hard to explain the origins.
"What’s got you daydreaming?" Li Changfeng’s voice echoed at his ear; within just a few minutes, he had changed clothes, smoothed his hair with water, though a few stubborn strands still defied behind.
"Oh, I was pondering the practical value of these items."
Cheng Ye snapped back, these words weren’t mere gibberish.
After draining the charge, all distractions in his mind vanished.
Indeed, he was contemplating these inspection devices, whether they could be integrated into Happiness City’s inspection protocol.
Li Changfeng, the inspector, filled up the compatibility rate without enduring a formal inquiry.
If applied to others, might it yield similar results?
Unfortunately, acquiring such source rail equipment is beyond the current economic scope of Happiness City’s inspection station.
Just note, the Central Inspection Station is in such disarray, barely hanging on.
And even if the station had extra procurement ability, priority would be given to acquiring field-use source rail devices, rather than these workload-reducing facilities for inspectors.
"Indeed, practical value holds; if the infected body comes here, the full procedure triggers a crisis in ninety-five percent of cases, with the remainder observed in isolation to filter them out gradually."
Li Changfeng tapped the chair back, then chuckled dryly while explaining, "These devices are actually available for sale, but no shelter city wants to purchase them, you know."
"Is the price too high?"
"It’s unnecessary." Li Changfeng spoke plainly, with not a single lie, "The core mission of the inspection station is minimizing infected body’s intrusion probability; Firewood’s rate is about 0.0018%, candidly, not even matching some smaller shelter cities."
"Some argue we are too large, thus skewing the data downward. But if the scale was reduced, would the performance improve?"
"Not necessarily!"
0.0018%.
Cheng Ye quickly calculated mentally, equating to two infected bodies infiltrating per half a million inspections.
