Chapter 1325: Chapter 944: One Slap Is Not Enough

"Once, a group of savage humans were chased by beasts and fled to the Dusk Territory, where they found shelter and eventually developed into this." In the Dusk Cathedral, Tia spoke of a past that did not surprise Zheng Yichen.

The indigenous people here just hadn’t developed a clear civilization, yet they could still communicate with one another. Since they could communicate, information flowed, letting them know this place was a safe haven.

Then came this kind of ritual. Other things might happen during the process, like problems with littering, but those who littered would likely be punished by Dusk.

Zheng Yichen wasn’t interested in this matter anymore. He changed the subject, "What’s my harvest this time?"

Tia brought out the little notebook responsible for recording Zheng Yichen’s merit points and handed it to him.

Upon opening the notebook and glancing at the newly added numbers, Zheng Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly, "50 merit points? This looks pretty good, right?"

Pretty good my foot. Clearly, on my end, I just fought a battle that would absolutely be considered earth-shattering elsewhere, yet I only got 50 merit points.

Perhaps Zheng Yichen was a bit regretful. If he’d managed to completely eliminate Ban Long at the time, maybe he could have earned more merit points. But now, it’s like this.

After all, here in Dusk, he’s not a normal ’worker’; he’s a convict, even if that accusation feels quite unfair. Dusk doesn’t care about that.

There’s nothing more to say.

Zheng Yichen glanced at the Pioneer who had already entered, found one, and said, "Could you please help me find Zhong Yan?"

"Please wait a moment." The Pioneer didn’t dare hesitate and immediately went to bring the busy Zhong Yan over.

Knowing she had many things to attend to, Zheng Yichen got straight to the point with Zhong Yan, opening a storage cabinet, and then followed Tia to the infirmary.

Tanshia Firlo watched nervously from the side, fearing Tia might declare some incurable disease for Zheng Yichen.

"2 merit points."

"Well, that’s alright." Zheng Yichen nodded, indicating this consumption wasn’t much, chiefly wanting to quickly recover to normal.

Tia prepared a bottle of medicine for Zheng Yichen and then set up the IV drip for him. Lying on the hospital bed, Zheng Yichen yawned and asked, "I want to take a nap now. It won’t be too long, will it?"

"Seven hours, you’ll wake up." Tia gave a rough estimate.

Zheng Yichen nodded; this posed no problem. So now it was about the matter he was currently concerned with: "With what I’ve done this time, I’m not violating any laws here in Dusk, am I?"

"No violation."

"One day after a job, you won’t just smack me dead directly, right?"

This time, Tia didn’t speak but stared at Zheng Yichen for a while before saying, "You don’t wish to destroy the world, so this situation won’t occur. Besides, a single slap wouldn’t be enough to kill you."

Damn... Zheng Yichen wasn’t sure if he should feel proud of Tia’s words.

For others in the Dusk Territory, it’s basically a one-slap ordeal. Now he can’t be slapped dead with one attempt, and thinking about it, he doesn’t sleep very peacefully here.

Previously, being slapped to death meant whatever he did was useless—better to just be an obedient employee. Now things have changed... he chose to go back to sleep.

Otherwise, what could he do? Merit points have already been spent, so there’s no throwing them away aimlessly.

He still harbored doubts, but those doubts would wait until after he woke from sleep.

Seven hours later, Zheng Yichen awoke from a dreamless sleep, and the first thing he saw was Tanshia Firlo’s curious face.

"You finally woke up, so punctual!" Tanshia Firlo’s tone was filled with cheerfulness.

She could see that Zheng Yichen’s originally pale complexion had returned to normal; Dusk’s treatment remained as formidable as ever.

"I wanted to learn a bit about this place’s treatment methods alongside your treatment, but I discovered nothing."

"If you could discover and learn, then Dusk’s treatment wouldn’t be necessary." Zheng Yichen sat up energetically.

Glancing at the back of his hand, he asked Tanshia Firlo, "Who removed my needle?"

"I wanted to help you remove the needle, but that Dusk nun took care of it first." Tanshia Firlo recounted the incident, removing the needle was simple, how hard could it be? Yet even this straightforward task wasn’t accomplished by her.

"Well, the service is quite thorough. Come on, let’s go outside and take a look." As Zheng Yichen got out of bed, his clothes instantly transformed back into a cloak.

Dusk Territory was bustling; seven hours was enough time for the Pioneers to accomplish much.

They weren’t ordinary people; they mastered special powers, speeding up infrastructure construction significantly.

Zheng Yichen went outside and witnessed the prototype of a small city.

Things like design sketches, the Pioneers brought with them, not just one, selecting the most suitable one based on the environment to officially start working.

The likes of cement could be made without machines; someone could directly knead it out.

Need flames; someone could light a fire; need to cut building materials; someone could directly use Wind Blade or compressed energy blades for the task.

Regarding leveling the ground, it’s a no-brainer—hands pressed on the ground, earth compacted while underground stones get squeezed out.

Then someone would sort suitable stones for processing.

Even those lacking related experience, under sufficient direction, could accomplish their tasks well. In a clear division of labor, seven hours produced a project that would take seven months in a normal world.

Some indigenous people were also released. They didn’t leave this place but gazed in reverence at the flying Pioneers.

"Efficient, indeed." Zheng Yichen sincerely remarked, though the task would only be faster with him handling it.

By unveiling the Divine Domain, he could directly shape the environment. The time wasted would only be in processing materials, but if design sketches were available, seven hours would suffice to easily complete a city with a loafing mindset.

Constructing the same city again—with ample materials—seven minutes, exceeding a minute would mean he’s seriously loafing.

If Lilith gave him a hand as an assistant, even if it were the first attempt, excluding the time for unveiling the Divine Domain and catching the environment, seven seconds would be enough.

Nearly everyone was busy. After observing briefly, Zheng Yichen said goodbye to short-haired Zhong Yan and returned to the Dusk Territory, preparing to leave here. He was heading to Misty City World to gather more information from the Dusk Mercenary Group.

Having known the new Boundary Breaking core wasn’t up to par, more understanding of this matter was needed, as this new technology was different from the previous Boundary Breaking core, where sheer numbers would do—it’s tougher to handle now.
