Chapter 457: Chapter 169: Unusual Coordination, Pinghai Building!

Perhaps it was the mental notion supporting his spirit that was finally accomplished, or maybe it was the information skills exhausting his heart power that all reached full progress.

This nap, Cheng Ye slept extraordinarily well.

He slept from 6:30 in the morning until gradually waking up at 4 in the afternoon.

At the moment of waking, the bones and muscles in his entire body cracked loudly.

The sound was deep and continuous, as if a fierce tiger was growling inside.

Tiger Power.

Almost complete?

Cheng Ye was greatly surprised. He moved his limbs twice. Last night, after maxing out two information skills, he re-installed Tiger Power and Moving Shooting.

What amazed him was that, despite not practicing for a few days, the progress of Tiger Power hadn’t stagnated; instead, it had advanced by leaps and bounds.

After this night’s sleep, the original 60% progress had sprinted to at least over 85%, almost reaching completion.

"Hmm, is there an internal cooldown for learning these ordinary skills?"

"No, it should be that the body’s acceptance speed has an upper limit. Once that limit is broken, the learning speed slows down more and more, and after a period of buffering, it can accelerate absorption again?"

Cheng Ye pondered to himself. This unexpected discovery was like a surprise falling from the sky.

Standing in the room, he gradually moved his body, adjusting his breathing rhythm according to the exertion method of ’Tiger Power’.

Every breath he took, he could feel the hidden power beneath the surface of his body growing more and more overwhelming.

His current strength could no longer be measured by ordinary New Martial methods.

Due to the physique enhancement brought by the Wild Grass Physique, his power was far more terrifying than ordinary Four Forces Martial Artists, nearly comparable to Martial Artists who have opened Six Ordinary Tendon Gates.

And once equipped with "Iron Body", entering Pseudo-Embracing the Embryo, his strength could compete with true experts of the Embryo Realm.

However, in this era of extraordinary existence, Martial Power ultimately serves as a means of self-defense and physical fitness, ensuring personal life safety.

To truly gain status, it ultimately depends on intellect and means.

After a while of exercising, until his body was slightly sweating, Cheng Ye picked up the Defense Communication, where the screen showed two missed calls, one from Sang Hezheng, the other from Long.

He first called back Sang Hezheng, paused slightly, and the phone was answered on the other end.

"Inspector Cheng, I’ve already applied for and completed all the vehicle conformity certificates this morning. Do you need to affiliate them with the inspection station, or operate as an individual owner?" Sang Hezheng’s voice came through, still as concise and direct as ever.

"Is there any difference in that?" Cheng Ye asked, as he truly didn’t understand much about vehicle operation procedures.

"Because you’re renting the inspection station’s battery, which doesn’t involve battery wear issues, there’s no need for those miscellaneous approval procedures. The difference is mainly in the cost of charging."

Sang Hezheng patiently explained, "If affixed to the inspection station, the charging procedures are done here at the station. When getting an electric card, you’d follow the station’s logistics procedures, and then pay according to the electricity used each month at the station. There might be discounts for you Inspectors, but you’d need to check with logistics for specifics."

"If it’s an individual ownership procedure, I can help you apply for a charging card, and then the charging goes according to market prices. Currently, the summer charging fee is... 15 contribution points per 100 kWh, requiring an initial deposit of 1,000 kWh, with direct deduction for charging."

"Hold on, I’ll call logistics to ask."

Cheng Ye made an excuse to hang up on Sang Hezheng, lightly tapping his finger on the Defense Communication screen, calculating quickly in his head.

The freelance charging rate, honestly, is somewhat expensive.

With a total battery capacity of 1,050 kWh for six vehicles, even if each charges with 10% battery left, it would need to fill up 945 kWh each time, which would cost 140 contribution points per market price charging.

This doesn’t even include vehicle wear and battery rental fees. It’s like going back and forth to the Satellite City two or three times, just to spend this much on charging—truly a high cost.

It’s so expensive!

Compared to civilian electricity, which is completely subsidized with residents not spending a penny.

After calculating, Cheng Ye felt a sharp pang of pain in his wallet.

Not to mention this is still summer. In winter and spring, low temperatures will reduce battery life, increasing charging demands, with prices likely to double, making expenses even more exaggerated.

Of course, there are obvious advantages to using market price charging.

No need for approval procedures, you decide the amount charged, and as long as it doesn’t attract attention for extreme usage, nobody will care.

But if you affiliate with the inspection station, monthly settlement records could raise suspicion.

"How about affiliating three with the station and three as individuals?"

Cheng Ye pondered and dialed the inspection station to transfer to the logistics department.

Indeed, the Inspector benefits did not disappoint. The logistics staff on the phone was particularly polite, "Inspector Cheng, if you affiliate the vehicles with the inspection station, each vehicle gets 200 kWh free monthly electricity, with excess billed at 10 contribution points/100 kWh." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

These are the benefits, followed by the logistics staff outlining a bunch of regulations and restrictions.

To summarize, there are two points worth noting.

When affiliated with the inspection station, all vehicles might be temporarily commandeered. During this period, any damages need to be repaired at the Inspector’s expense, considered the cost of enjoying the benefits.

Secondly, affiliated vehicles can enter and exit through the inspection station’s D gate, avoiding the usual queue at gate A for ordinary convoys. As long as goods aren’t involved in malicious reselling and loophole exploiting, they won’t be subject to station cutbacks.

"This is excellent!"

Cheng Ye immediately made a decision.
