Under satellite navigation, Condenser rushed to each Light Burst Location for energy charging and drew all the Light Absorption Monsters along the way to the Big Buddha, improving its own strength continuously through dual-line operation.

Although the third unifier had not been found yet, Jiong He was in no rush.

It now possessed both the confidence and composure of a crane.

"Chairman, now I realize that unifiers are not the stronger the better. The ones that suit oneself are the best."

"In the previous generation, the three of us unified, and we had many differences. My job was to measure and observe, but since I was the weakest at the time, many of my judgments were denied and questioned by them."

"However, I don't resent or dislike them. On the contrary, they were actually very good to me. They just thought I was not strong enough, so my decisions were hard to gain trust."

"Later, when we encountered an attack by atmospheric creatures, they led the fight during the breakthrough, but in the end, only I survived."

It paused for a moment, "After returning to the Inner Sea, I desperately wanted to find a strong unifier to avenge them."

"He and I trusted each other. It trusted my measurements, and I relied on its light blade combat without reservations. There were no more splits or internal losses like before."

Condenser floated beside Zhou Yi, its aqua-colored flame pure and gentle.

"So next, I will look for the last unifier that suits me. Strength is no longer the sole criterion. What's important is to form complementarity with us and truly rely on each other."

"If we can't combine to form a cohesive skill set and truly merge, the outcome will be no different if we encounter atmospheric creatures in the Outer Sea again."

Its transformation and growth after unification brought Zhou Yi a measure of satisfaction.

Condenser began to grow step by step through Light Bursts, no longer in a hurry.

...

On the same day, a message came from Jade City.

"Commissioner, Building 6 has been completed and is ready to be opened to the public at any time."

Zhou Yi went to see this new member with great enthusiasm.

Building 6 was covered with trees on top, resembling a head of lush green hair.

The base units of the building were supported by eight broad stone walls as legs, crawling along the ground when it moved.

Then, the windows of Building 6 flashed rhythmically.

The flashing of each window formed simple samurai crab patterns. It looked like samurai crabs were crawling up and down the building, occasionally transforming into glowing patterns of flying birds, waves, mushrooms, etc.

It used windows as light points to form a giant LED display wall.

If Jade City's main body was a steady and reliable Pioneer, and Building 5 was a warrior patrolling its homeland, then Building 6 seemed somewhat flamboyant.

Zhou Yi pointed at the building curiously, "What's going on with it?"

Jade City answered, "After Building 6 gained consciousness, it did a transformation on itself."

"It wanted to be unique and distinguish itself from me and Building 5."

"After completion, I took it out. In the northern forest, it transplanted many trees along with the soil to the top of the building."

"It is very close to samurai crabs. Usually, Hammerhead Soldiers and samurai crabs bring it various building materials, providing it with more than double the steel reinforcement of Building 5, allowing it to have greater extensibility than us, covering a wider external range."

"Samurai crabs often visit and accompany it. They can't converse, but every time Building 6 grows another level, the samurai crabs run around it happily, celebrating."

"So it also transformed its base into legs of samurai crabs, showing solidarity with them."

"It's closer to samurai crabs than it is to me."

The honest and simple Jade City seemed a little at a loss at this time.

After learning the ins and outs in detail from it, Zhou Yi finally understood.

Different environments create different life personalities.

Like Building 5, which naturally has a tendency to prepare for battle because it was born in a time of war.

Building 6 was born during a time of peace.

During this period, Jade City was always on the move. It first made a long trip with Zhou Yi to United City, and after returning, it expanded dams, dug up buried tanks in the north, handled express deliveries, followed the Big Buddha to confirm matters with Condenser...

Although the construction of Building 6 was still ongoing, it truly belonged to the category of children left behind.

It was normal for it to have little attachment to adults who were often absent.

The samurai crabs were with it from beginning to end.

Hence Building 6 was also especially friendly and fond of them.

Looking at this new high-rise with much personality, Zhou Yi thought thoroughly and made a decision.

Hearing it, Jade City was somewhat surprised, "Building 6 is specifically open to samurai crabs?"

"Yes."

Zhou Yi said, "The samurai crab is one of the earliest veterans of the Wasteland Development Company, and also the employee with the longest tenure, as well as the company's brand ambassador. This is the treatment they deserve."

"Over the years, the samurai crabs have worked diligently. Although their intelligence isn't high, whenever they are needed, they are always at the forefront."

"Now that Building 6 likes the samurai crabs, and the crabs like it too, we will reserve this building specifically for our samurai crab employees. From now on, the company's samurai crabs, Hammerhead Soldiers, Double Swordsmen, and Weapon Masters will officially live here. Of course, those who don't wish to move in are not forced to."

"Building 6 will be called the Samurai Crab Apartment."

Zhou Yi's idea was simple.

He couldn't let diligent and honest workers and crabs be at a disadvantage.

In the past, the status of samurai crabs had been rather ambiguous, but now it was a good opportunity to let everyone know that they are also official employees of the company and should be treated equally.

First, he had to solve their housing problem.

After the news was announced, Building 6 became excited.

Its windows began to glow, and lights on all sides of the exterior walls formed the shape of a samurai crab, making passersby on the ground look up in wonder.

Red Kestrel then activated the regional broadcast.

"Attention all employees and residents, we are now broadcasting an important company announcement."

"Jade City's Building 6 has been completed and will officially operate as a residential building from today onward."

"The building, named 'Samurai Crab Apartment', is an exclusive dormitory built for the venerable samurai crab employees of the company. It is open for occupancy to the samurai crabs, Hammerhead Soldiers, Double Swordsmen, Weapon Masters, etc. There is plenty of room available, so please notify each other, Weapon Masters, and move in as soon as possible."

"In addition, construction of Building 7 has begun. Please, employees and residents who need accommodations, wait patiently for further notice."

Through Red Kestrel's "Bird's Eye View", Zhou Yi also observed the reaction of Jade City's residents to the news.

—Why the samurai crabs? They can just fight a bit, endure a bit, they can live outside... We are the ones who really need houses! This is unreasonable!

—Alas, to be slow is to be behind at every step. I should have gone to Building 5 sooner. By the time I get on the list for Building 7, there will be so many people, I might not even get a chance in the lottery.

—Missed out last time, no space this time. Damn, I wish I were a samurai crab!

...

Compared to the complaints of the outsiders, company employees were more stable in their emotions.

Although many were surprised, their thoughts tended to be positive. The reason was that the samurai crabs were longstanding employees, and the company's good treatment of older employees meant that they, the newer employees, would also be treated well.

Plus, by following the company, they had priority housing rights. Thus, unlike outsiders, small changes did not have a big impact on them, and living in Jade City was just a matter of time.

The happiest were the Weapon Masters.

Xie Xun excitedly ran up to Zhou Yi, "Chairman, thank you for providing everyone with such nice houses!"

"Everyone is very happy."

Zhou Yi also saw the Hammerhead Soldiers and Double Swordsmen gracefully walk into the dormitory, and the samurai crabs, guided by the Weapon Masters from the Scavenger Team, moving towards Building 6 one by one.

What he didn't expect was that, besides carrying their weapons, each of the samurai crabs was carrying backpacks and boxes. Inside were items like large iron pots, huge shells of unknown species, waterproof cloth, and small metal coffee tables.

Zhou Yi asked, "What are they collecting these for?"

Xie Xun tapped his own shell with a claw and gestured enthusiastically, "Chairman, in the wild, samurai crabs need something portable for cover."

"Usually, they dig a hole and then cover it with their portable shelter before sprinkling sand over it, creating a simple cave. This habit came from some outsider samurai crabs who joined later, and it is now a popular practice."

"Even though they now have safe, permanent houses to settle in, they are still used to carrying these shelters because they've used them for so long, and they've become important furniture to them."

Only then did Zhou Yi understand that the samurai crabs would rest by creating makeshift tents to cover themselves, similar to hermit crabs.

He hadn't noticed this change before.

Currently, the company had 13 Weapon Masters (7 from the Scavenger Team), 58 Hammerhead Soldiers, and 24 Double Swordsmen.

Every department wanted to hire Weapon Masters. They were smart and strong, had good learning abilities, and could communicate through translation machines.

Besides the Scavenger Team personnel, two Weapon Masters each from the delivery center, Breeding Platform, and agriculture district were set to leave.

Zhou Yi's attention was also focused on the Weapon Masters.

He reminded himself to also keep an eye on the conditions of the regular samurai crabs.

Xie Xun spoke again, "Chairman, I have good news for you."

"Our Scavenger Team's Xie Si has learned how to summon fish."

Zhou Yi was taken aback, "Summon? Bone Fish?"

"It's Bubble Fish."
