Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 155 - 135: Dawn Blade! Powerful Tongue Attribute! Tower of the Sky! (3/3)
Chapter 155: Chapter 135: Dawn Blade! Powerful Tongue Attribute! Tower of the Sky! (3/3)
Dawn City.
Time flashed by in a hurry.
Yu Jin looked up, gazing at the light curtain projection high in the air.
[Time remaining to promote: 1 day]
“Just one day left.”
Yu Jin was a little annoyed—before Dawn City’s promotion, he didn’t go grind more monsters.
Days without crystals to pop are so tough.
Yu Jin turned his head to look at Naiya lying on the bed.
Naiya was still quiet as a doll, sleeping soundly without waking.
“Ayy—”
Yu Jin let out a long sigh.
Speaking of which—
He didn’t know if Aili and Nasha had made it back to Ghost King City. Neither of them had sent any messages.
“Ever since binding with the system, it feels like I’ve always been super busy…”
“Busy with protecting the environment, busy leveling up, busy farming the system, busy fighting monsters, busy popping crystals, busy promoting…”
Yu Jin sat on the bed, recalling everything he’d gone through recently.
After a long while.
Whew—
Yu Jin stood up, letting out a long breath of stale air.
This day might just be the last free time he’d have for a long while.
He decided to take a stroll through Dawn City—a mini vacation for himself.
…
…
Dawn City.
Outer city streets.
Yu Jin’s memories here were stuck back when he first took office.
Narrow, broken, and filled with refugees coming and going.
But now?
After several promotions, from a Level 0 Shelter City to Level 5 Shelter City…
This place could hardly be called “streets” anymore.
“Dawn Avenue?”
“That name’s actually not bad…”
Yu Jin muttered, looking ahead.
A main road a full kilometer wide ran straight through the whole of Dawn City.
On both sides of the main road stood rows of buildings with a distinctly modern vibe.
Just looking at the architecture, you’d never believe this was the Wasteland World.
Nowadays—
Dawn City’s subordinate population had officially broken a million.
A city of a million is so much busier than it was at the start.
On the main road, crowds bustled back and forth—everyone giving off the aura of an Evolver.
The weakest here was a Tier Two Evolver.
Because Dawn City’s entry benefits were “Tier Two Crystal”.
There were quite a few Tier Three and Tier Four Evolvers as well.
Tier Five Evolvers were relatively rare.
Tier Six and above—only the old Yu Jin management core led by Yin Yao and Chen Gang had made it there.
“Still a lot of work to do. Can’t slack off yet.”
Yu Jin wasn’t satisfied at all.
In his vision, Dawn City’s future had to be ’Everyone as dragons’.
Not saying everyone had to be Tier Eight or Nine, but at least a city where ’Tier Five are nobodies, Tier Six everywhere’.
“That High-tier Evolver Corps plan I talked about with Yin Yao before—I wonder how that’s going…”
Yu Jin muttered, but didn’t slow his steps.
He wasn’t flaunting his Tier Fourteen Evolver aura—in fact, he was using the ’Decrease Presence’ ability he bought from the Resource Mall.
Today, he wanted to wander and relax, just stroll aimlessly.
Not to go everywhere and be worshipped.
For this exact reason—
He also didn’t use ’Light Touch’ to instantly scan every corner of Dawn City. That’d ruin all the fun.
Leisurely, Yu Jin walked to the inner city region.
The first thing that caught his eye was the Martial Arts Plaza—now at least a hundred times bigger than before.
Martial Arts Plaza was just the name—in reality, it was as big as a whole Level 0 Sanctuary City.
“Hmm?”
Yu Jin noticed over ten thousand Evolvers on the Martial Arts Plaza.
Their auras, compared to the subordinates he’d just seen, felt much more powerful overall.
The biggest thing about these thousands of people…
Buzz cuts, all young men.
“Dawn Blade?”
Yu Jin heard the vaguely edgy name from the mouth of one of the young men up front.
“Not bad actually.”
Yu Jin nodded, looking forward to their future progress.
He believed—with Purifying Light plus ample Crystal Resources—if given time, Dawn City would become the most powerful Shelter City on A3 Planet and all Wasteland Planet servers ever.
And so, Yu Jin wandered through Dawn City, stopping now and then.
A full half day slipped by.
He finally returned to City Lord’s Mansion at an unhurried pace.
“Yu Pan’Er?”
From afar, Yu Jin saw a figure standing at the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Yu Jin still remembered this upperclassman quite well.
“City Lord Yu!”
Hearing someone call his name, Yu Pan’Er turned around quickly. Spotting Yu Jin, her delicate face instantly flushed red.
“?”
Yu Jin was confused.
Where did this ’steam maiden’ come from, getting flustered just calling a name?
“Ci-City Lord Yu…”
“Lately, I haven’t had much practical training with my attribute ability…”
“If-if you’re free… could you give me some quick guidance…”
Yu Pan’Er lowered her head, ears blushing bright red.
Yu Jin rubbed his chin, secretly nodding.
As City Lord, he did feel a duty to instruct his subordinates.
But Yu Pan’Er’s rather unique attribute…
“How do you want to be guided?”
“Explain?”
Yu Pan’Er’s face grew even redder at his words.
She shuffled over with her head down, whispering as quietly as a mosquito, “Anything…is fine…”
“?”
Yu Jin fell deep into thought.
…
…
“Whew—”
Yu Jin lay sprawled on the ten-meter-wide bed, exhaling long and hard.
Not gonna lie, the Tongue Attribute is just plain OP.
So OP he suddenly wanted a smoke.
“Dark Liqun?”
With a thought, Yu Jin searched the Level 5 Resource Mall…
Beside the ten-meter bed—
Yu Pan’Er covered her mouth, coughing softly, as if she’d choked a little.
Gulp—
Her throat bobbed in a swallowing motion, Adam’s apple fluttering.
Yu Pan’Er couldn’t help glancing at the still-sleeping Naiya on the side of the big bed, eyes closed tight.
Even as a fellow woman, Yu Pan’Er thought sincerely—
Naiya was just too exquisite, like the perfect loli from your imagination come to life.
After sneaking two glances at Naiya, Yu Pan’Er looked down again without meaning to.
Compared to Naiya, she was worlds apart.
Naiya’s already Tier Eight, while she herself was just Tier Four.
Naiya could stay by City Lord Yu’s side all day, sleeping on this ten-meter-wide bed.
But as for herself…
“I have to work hard on my attribute ability.”
“Train till I reach perfection, my tongue blooming lotus flowers…”
Yu Pan’Er resolved herself again in silence.
…
…
Time slipped by quietly.
Core Area.
Yu Pan’Er had already left.
Naiya still hadn’t woken up.
[Time remaining to promote: 5 minutes]
Yu Jin watched the light curtain, waiting quietly.
After helping guide Yu Pan’Er’s ability, Yu Jin hadn’t found ’Dark Liqun’ in the Resource Mall, but discovered quite a few useful goods he’d overlooked.
[Space Bracelet]
[Price: 20,000,000 Points]
[Evaluation: Contains 10×10×10 meters of space, can store non-living items]
Yu Jin waved his hand and bought ten of them.
He planned to hand them out to Yin Yaonier and the others.
Previously, Yu Jin himself really needed something like this, but now…
[Fourth-tier Space Attribute Ability: Subspace Level 9]
[Active Effect: Temporarily enter Subspace, cannot be selected and avoids all damage during this time]
[Full-Level Effect: Greatly reduced cooldown, and increased time able to remain in Subspace]
[Awakening Effect: You gain a 1000×1000×1000 meter personal space, can store and access non-living items]
Back when he first awakened the ’Space’ attribute, Yu Jin always wanted to complain—
Such a respectable spatial attribute, and it didn’t even have the most basic personal space?!
Not until he broke through to Tier Fourteen did Yu Jin finally understand—
It’s not that it didn’t exist; his tier was just too low back then.
Attribute abilities need to be developed.
The simplest and most direct way to develop them—just upgrade. Level up enough, and new effects naturally unlock.
And now—
Yu Jin’s personal space was already packed full of beast meat, crystals, and all kinds of resources.
All prepared in advance for his return to Blue Star.
“Hope everything goes smoothly.”
Yu Jin took a deep breath and murmured softly.
Boom—
Rumble—!
Dawn City began to tremble.
As the final moment of promotion arrived—
This Sky City began transforming almost magically.
The first change was once again the sheer ’land area’.
Dawn City expanded in all directions, only stopping after quadrupling its original size.
While the city expanded, new buildings sprang up everywhere at visible speed.
Even more—
The little buildings in the Dawn Inner City were also infused with light, undergoing miraculous changes.
Buzz—
There was a flash of light—
And in an instant, the little buildings became skyscrapers, reaching up into the clouds.
Rumble—!
The City Lord’s Mansion beneath Yu Jin also began vibrating fiercely.
Swish—
Yu Jin’s vision was filled with dazzling light.
Even as a Tier Fourteen Evolver, he couldn’t make out what was happening around him.
And then—just a few seconds later—
Yu Jin’s vision returned.
He realized everything around him had changed.
The once broad but deserted Core Area was now…a spire under the sky dome?
Swish—
Yu Jin’s body flickered, and he appeared high above Dawn City.
City Lord’s Mansion was gone.
In its place—a colossal, magnificent tower reaching the clouds.
It stood at the very center of Dawn City, its surface flowing with intricate energy patterns.
At the tower’s top hovered a ten-meter-wide Energy Crystal, blazing with radiant light.
That was the Tier Ten Crystal Yu Jin used as Dawn City’s Energy Source—now broadcast massive and on display.
And near the ’Tower of the Sky’—
Another similarly towering building rose up abruptly.
On its top, a pale gold energy vortex spun in silence.
Some kind of special fluctuation Yu Jin couldn’t describe rippled out from that vortex, spreading in all directions.
“Civilization Detection Module?”
Yu Jin’s heart skipped—he had a guess.
But…
Dawn City’s changes weren’t over.
Or rather, the true transformation was only just beginning.
Boom—
Rumble—!
A huge noise echoed through every corner of Dawn City.
Over a million subordinates looked toward the sound and saw…
The noise was coming not from within, but from all around outside Dawn City.
And then—
The space outside Dawn City was flooded with brilliant light.
Amid the glow, there came a ’ka-ka’ sound of mechanical grinding.
The noise lasted a long time—even Yu Jin, trying to use ’Light Touch’, still couldn’t make out what was happening.
Time ticked by bit by bit.
When the light finally faded—
All of Dawn City’s million-plus inhabitants, Yu Jin included, were left utterly speechless by the scene before them!
In the sky outside the city, a huge ’ring’ had appeared out of nowhere?
The ring circled all of Dawn City.
On top of the ring, the shadowy shapes of various buildings drifted…
There were also glimpses of what looked like weapon turrets…
The ring had exactly six open sections—each with enough area to fit a whole regular Shelter City…
