In fact, New Spring Town wasn't originally called New Spring.
As a temporary settlent that erged from the ruins of Spring City, countless scavengers ca in droves, just like ants in the wilderness, densely scattered, swiftly dismantling the fallen giant whales.
Such temporary settlents are all too common in the wilderness. A flood, a rain, or even an earthquake could very well give rise to a brand new settlent.
It can be foreseen that in the next ten, twenty, thirty years, as long as the ruins remain, scavengers will always be able to continuously excavate materials from them.
The entire crude settlent was established amidst intertwined chaos from the very beginning. Naturally, the design couldn't be called reasonable. Haphazard constructions and dangerous buildings are quite common, and the colors are definitely not vibrant, being mixed with gray and black.
Built along the mountain, with a main road running through, winding alongside the ruins, thus it was nad... Diaomao Town.
Even now, this overly well-known na is still widely circulated. It has beco a habit, even though on paper or in official terms, Ji Jue's 'New Spring' na was adopted, most people's consciousness still divides the entire settlent into two parts.
The vast newly expanded area of the settlent is called New Spring, while the old part retains its original na.
Nowadays, the forr is orderly, almost a rare place of rules in the wilderness, while all the unsightly and shady things continue to cluster in the old district...
Regarding this, although Ji Jue found it displeasing, he couldn't completely eradicate it—after all, it's not sothing he could change by simply rallying people, and besides, in the wilderness, many things have almost beco common sense and conventions. The only thing that can be done is to occasionally find an excuse to eliminate a batch of overly greedy troublemakers, lest these dogs get a bit of face and don't realize who they really are.
The disgusting stuff stays in the sewers, but if soone tries so sneaky project under Ji Jue's nose, he'd like to ask, just how much talent have you got to speak to like this.
To put it bluntly, when there's no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becos king.
Now the montum of Coastal Industry in the wilderness feels a bit like, in the absence of heroes, the kids beco famous. After all, breaking into the military sector from the civilian sector and then suddenly into the wilderness, this type of dinsional reduction strike was enough for Ji Jue to form a strong hold in no ti, easily dominating the entire New Spring without breaking a sweat.
Occasionally, when two blind fools want to jump out, Ji Jue doesn't even need to lift a finger. They're imdiately crushed by the gold-headed lad sent by Desert Market to manage New Spring.
If the boss says to deal with soone, I'll deal with them. If the boss says to listen to Brother Ji, then anyone who doesn't lower their head when talking to Brother Ji, I'll deal with first. If they end up dead, they deserved it. If not, then count yourself tough. Tomorrow I'll co back for more reinforcents to continue the job.
Now, after several months of developnt, the scale of the settlent has expanded to several tis its original size. Under Ji Jue's guidance, much of the remaining poison from Spring City's ruins has been cleared, reaching the outskirts of what was once a ruin, and further expanding.
After the initial chaos, New Spring has now beco a subsidiary of Coastal Industry. Countless scavengers rely on the scraps that slip through Ji Jue's fingers to survive.
Although there's no profit to be had, it saves Ji Jue an unknown amount of effort. Nowadays, he doesn't even need to prepare materials himself. Whatever regular materials are needed, saying the word, countless people eagerly co forward to deliver.
The vast majority of Spring City's garbage, waste, discarded alchemy works, and all valuable fragnts are being sent to his warehouse day and night continuously.
As production got on track, Ji Jue was already too lazy to personally handle matters, continuing to keep himself busy in the workshop every day. And now, Yan Jian, the de facto manager of the Coast, has further solidified his position, and his status has risen accordingly, becoming quite sought after.
Yes, Yan Jian also ca to Spring City.
Having squatted at the Coast for so many years, he finally had the chance to stand tall and shine. As a core elder, even if he did nothing, the tides wouldn't treat him poorly. Unfortunately, over these many years, Old Yan had been thoroughly disillusioned, he had long figured things out.
If it weren't for Ji Jue, he'd probably still be so trapped ghost in a dilapidated factory district, guarding those endless unfulfilled promises day in and day out.
Who lifted him up, who let him stand tall and proud as a person—could he not distinguish?
Moreover, working with Ji Jue was so damn refreshing, and it was in Spring City, below one person and above millions, able to do whatever he wanted, build whatever he desired. Isn't that more refreshing than being a figurehead in Tide City?
"Has Old Lu returned?"
Lu Feng's car had just parked when he saw Yan Jian strolling in the factory district. You could vaguely see that his steps weren't quite nimble, though he was considerably fatter than when he was at the Coast, with his previously gaunt and worried face now bearing a few gentle and amiable lines, smiling throughout the day.
"Those damn liars, not a word of truth out of their mouths..."
Lu Feng glanced at his watch, involuntarily spitting out a catchphrase from Cliff City, cursing, "Before leaving, they said everything was ready, but wherever I went, there were problems, even the goddamn cranes were broken. Everyone wants a free ride, wasting so much ti."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Yan Jian smiled, "In recent days, I've brought over quite a few folks from the old plant. We've got plenty of hands now, so the installation team's odd jobs won't give you any more headaches. However, I'm afraid the task of collections will still bother you. After all, outside of New Spring, the road is always perilous."
