Wasteland Border Inspector-Chapter 346 - 141: Wildfire in Troubled Times, Qualification Review!

Really interesting.

Cheng Ye never expected Matthew Lee would actually be willing to team up with him, an Intern Inspector.

From a god’s eye view, he is the initiator of the proposal and a Chess Player involved in formulating the details.

He can sit and discuss philosophically with Ding Yishan, even getting him to lower his guard and impart knowledge.

But from Matthew Lee’s perspective, Inspector Cheng is just a newbie Intern who has only been involved in inspection for a short time.

At most, he has some initial enthusiasm, a little bit of power, and... a touch of cleverness.

"Don’t overthink it," Matthew Lee seemed to see through his thoughts, sniffed, with a candid face, "I don’t have any other intention, I just purely don’t want to team up with those slackers, it’s purely a waste of time."

Saying this, he leaned in closer and lowered his voice: "Team up with me, I’ll manage the big picture and ensure nothing goes wrong, giving you the freedom to do what you want, how about that? As long as it’s not ridiculously dangerous, there’s no problem. Just don’t run when it’s time to take the fall."

"Giving me free rein, you’re really smart."

Cheng Ye laughed, deliberately teasing, "If Inspector Cheng really makes some achievements, would the credit mostly go to you?"

"Exactly, it’s called investment."

Matthew Lee, not at all embarrassed about being seen through, continued to grin foolishly, "The higher the risk I take, naturally the higher the reward. If you really make some noise, what’s wrong with me getting a taste?"

Cheng Ye’s heart stirred, maybe... teaming up with Matthew Lee wouldn’t be bad?

This old trickster is experienced and familiar with all the pioneering tricks, just right to make up for his lack of field experience.

But on second thought, if he really agreed, leaving Wang Kang alone in the Buffer Zone is a small matter.

But teaming with Matthew Lee, what if they encounter ideological differences?

This "granting authority" sounds nice now, but the education they’ve received, their logic in handling matters are completely different. Once in the Outer City, facing concrete issues like resource allocation and personnel management, disputes are sure to arise.

An intern inspector, is he supposed to override a Third-stage Inspector’s decision?

By then, not to mention advancing work, the internal strife alone could collapse the whole plan.

Not appropriate!

Cheng Ye even felt that perhaps even Ding Yishan wouldn’t want to see such a combination.

However, he didn’t refuse directly, just vaguely said: "Let’s see today’s selection results first. If both of us make it, it’s not too late to talk about teaming up."

And since Ding Yishan has gathered so many inspectors here today, he must initiate a round of selection.

If they finalize the team now and one gets eliminated, it would be awkward.

Moreover, Cheng Ye vaguely guessed that since Ding Yishan proposed a "two-two pairing," he must have already considered the issue of power and responsibilities, which is a set he is neither skilled at nor experienced in, like a power balance.

Going out, there must be a leader and a deputy, who leads the decision-making and who is responsible for execution must be predefined.

It’s impossible to let them decide on the spot; otherwise, it would only escalate conflicts, repeating the past infighting at the inspection station.

Matthew Lee obviously understood this rationale too and even detected the vagueness in Cheng Ye’s tone.

Sure enough, he didn’t pester further, just chuckled, "Alright, let’s get through this round first. From what I gathered, this assessment isn’t simple, they even used supercomputing to assist with the questions." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Supercomputing for questions?

Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, his heart moved. Ever since he knew Happiness City was the first to utilize Source Rail technology to break through the chip dilemma, he’s been paying special attention to supercomputing.

But just as he was about to inquire for more details, three people walked into the venue from the door one after another.

As if they had a tacit understanding, Cheng Ye instinctively looked up, his gaze directly meeting the person in the middle of the trio.

The other person raised an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth pulling into a mocking smile, his eyes held a bit of ridicule, as if saying "we meet again."

Cheng Ye’s face instantly darkened.

Garcia.

This wretched dog is really like a lingering ghost!
