Chapter 128: Chapter 102: Governor, Situation, Oasis’s Night

“Governor Han now oversees the cafeteria, which is quite a lucrative position. The third floor is specifically set for Tier Two Evolvers to dine, and I’ve heard they even have Late-Term Evolutionary Meat.”

“Though Han Tao’s experience is nothing short of legendary, as long as you’re daring and willing to fight, there’s a chance you could catch up to his shadow, or even surpass his achievements.”

“Lord Su An thinks highly of you, saying you’re the most talented Hunter he’s ever encountered.”

“In the future, if you become an Oasis Upper Class citizen, evolve to the Late Tier One, and hold a significant position within the Oasis, with enough resources accumulated, there’s a chance to advance even further!”

“When that time comes, don’t forget to look out for me.”

Lin Feng snapped back to reality, watching the girl devour the amount of food equivalent to his three meals at once, and apart from condiments like ketchup and chili sauce, it was almost all Evolutionary Meat…

He asked with some curiosity:

“Eating so much, and it’s only your second meal. Aren’t you full?”

Shen Yue wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth and replied softly:

“This is my ability, a specially enhanced stomach digestion system that allows me to quickly digest food and replenish energy. I can extract nutrients from various foods, and of course, the more calorie-dense, the better.”

“The energy absorbed from the food is stored, allowing me to fight continuously. But the trade-off is that because of fast digestion, I’m ravenous again not even an hour after eating.”

Lin Feng nodded, unable to resist joking:

“This superpower could be called the ultimate glutton, and if you keep eating like this, if you ever evolve to Tier Two, won’t an entire Oasis Town not be enough to feed you…”

Shen Yue grunted twice, patting her belly:

“It’s not like I don’t work. Since becoming an Evolver, for five consecutive years in the Church’s diligent staff awards, I’ve won the only diligence prize!”

“Besides, if that day comes, I’ll just go to the Holy City, where they can surely sustain me.”

“No, wait until I evolve to the Late Tier One, then apply to transfer back to the Holy City for a position. The food supply here is really too little, and nothing like the good food from the Holy City Cardinal Court.”

Saying this, Shen Yue sighed softly:

“I really miss those days of missionary training and assessment at the Cardinal Court.”

Lin Feng laughed:

“You must have been at the bottom of the class, right? Otherwise, how would you end up being posted to this backwater during the final job assessment…”

Exposed, Shen Yue’s face turned red.

If it hadn’t been for that old witch of a vice-dean who wouldn’t let go of her mistake of secretly eating the sacrament, how would an outstanding student like her end up being dispatched here?

Feeling a little annoyed, Shen Yue snorted again and stood up with her plate, ready to leave:

“Finished eating? Let’s go see some other places, it’s going to get dark soon.”

Hearing Shen Yue’s words, Lin Feng furrowed his brow, finished the last piece of Evolutionary Meat on his plate, and stood up to follow, asking curiously:

“Dark? Is there still night on the Wasteland now?”

With the plate in her hands, Shen Yue turned her head slightly, nodding towards the outside.

Lin Feng followed her gaze and saw that through the second-floor window, the sky indeed seemed to be growing darker.

Then he suddenly remembered the dome covering the Oasis and realized:

“Those hexagonal glasses have a gradient effect?”

Shen Yue handed the plate to a middle-aged cultivator at the staircase who was responsible for collection:

“It’s not that high-tech. They merely lay back down the photovoltaic panels that were retracted from both sides. But at night, there’s indeed an artificial starry sky, allowing the Upper Class to maintain a regular routine and sleep soundly at night.”

Lin Feng nodded, somewhat unable to understand.

Is it really necessary to dismantle and install them day after day, just for a good night’s sleep, investing so much time and effort?

Lin Feng increasingly felt that the life in the Oasis Upper District was completely disconnected from the Deserters at the bottom of the Wasteland.

After following Shen Yue out of the cafeteria, the outside world grew even darker, and the dome in the distance began to be replaced by photovoltaic panels starting from above the church.

Upper Class citizens who finished their dinner were about to welcome the Holy Spring Day’s nightfall.

And they possessed the most extravagant thing on the Wasteland under the blazing sun for three straight days…

A nighttime shielded from sunlight exposure!

Watching the photovoltaic panels slowly unfold and spread inch by inch across the entire Upper District under the hands of hundreds of Upper Servants, Lin Feng suddenly realized that this so-called Upper District he found himself in was nothing less than a moving utopia on the harsh Wasteland…

A perfect and enclosed small community.

Built upon tens of thousands of Deserters, the thousands of Permanent Residents of the Five Villages, and the eight thousand servants of the Oasis Battleship.

Seeing Lin Feng gazing up at the dome in stunned awe, Shen Yue, already accustomed to it, reminded:

“There’s still half an hour before it gets completely dark. Let’s go check out the Moonlight Garden in the Oasis before it closes when night falls.”

Lin Feng turned back to follow Shen Yue’s pace.

With nightfall approaching, the Upper Class citizens, having finished their meals, returned to their homes, leaving the streets somewhat empty.

The two of them, one after the other, walked the 150-meter main road to reach the stern of the Oasis Battleship.

There was a lush city garden here.

It was built atop the residential area.

About twenty meters wide and forty meters long, nearly a thousand square meters in size.

And it had a beautiful name: Moonlight Garden.

Following Shen Yue, Lin Feng climbed several meters of steps to the high platform where the Moonlight Garden was located.

Looking around, besides the trees and lawns, clusters of colorful flowers bloomed in a riot of colors.

The beautiful scenery captured Lin Feng’s attention, and this was the first time since he woke up from the Wasteland that he had seen such vibrant colors.

If the artificial night over the dome brought a sense of awe, then the lively and vibrant Moonlight Garden before him…

Conveyed a sense of genuine joy, lightness, and relaxation.

No wonder Lord Bishop said that after visiting the Oasis, Lin Feng might change his mind and choose to stay.

Such a great environment, with no worries about food, drinks, and entertainment.

More comfortable than the underground shelter back in the day.

If he were among them, it might not take long before he sinks into indulgence. Why leave the Oasis and continue living a backbreaking life on the Wasteland?

Is that a life one should live?

Staying in the Upper District paradise, isn’t it delightful?

“Come and look at this!”

Shen Yue’s voice came from behind the flowers and grass, bringing Lin Feng’s attention back. He moved towards the sound and saw a ten-meter-wide fountain pool, with clear water gushing out.

The sunlight shone onto the mist above, refracting into a semicircle of a seven-colored rainbow, faintly visible under the “sunset.”

Just then, the sprinklers among the nearby greenery suddenly activated on schedule, spraying sheets of water mist, expanding in all directions…

This caused the rainbow over the fountain to magnify instantly, forming a colorful painting mid-air in the garden.

“This is the most beautiful scenery in Oasis Town. Many Upper Class citizens have their wedding ceremonies here.”

Shen Yue stared blankly at this scene.

Lin Feng, who climbed from the bottom up, initially felt his heart skipped at the sight of the garden’s beauty, but now those feelings were gradually fading away.

Now seeing the clean water freely sprayed into the air, with the surrounding mist…

He suddenly wondered how much water it took to create this Moonlight Garden:

“The freshwater wasted on this garden alone might be dozens of tons, I guess.”

“Is the Oasis’s water reserve so abundant? It seems like only about two hundred tons are distributed to the Deserters at the bottom…”
