Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 156 - 136: Satellite Cities! Quantum Teleportation! Return to Blue Star! (1/3)
Chapter 156: Chapter 136: Satellite Cities! Quantum Teleportation! Return to Blue Star! (1/3)
Above the Celestial Vault.
The massive Sky City stood silent and unmoving.
Around the city, rings brimming with a sci-fi vibe slowly rotated.
“Affiliated City Module?”
Yu Jin gazed at the six vacant spots on the ring, his heart stirring.
This was a reward from the A3 Planet Rule for him ’punishing bugged players’.
[Affiliated City Module: After installation, Sanctuary Cities under your rule can be physically linked as affiliated cities]
[Current maximum links: 6]
[Current maximum Level for linked Sanctuary Cities: Level 0]
[Current link method: Ring coverage, movement, loading]
More detailed information appeared before Yu Jin’s eyes.
“Nice.”
Yu Jin nodded in satisfaction.
Since its rise, Dawn City had conquered the entire A380 Area (Mang City area only has bound affiliated cities, Dawn City hasn’t descended yet), and the number of subordinates had surpassed one million.
But in reality—
The number of Blue Star players in A380 Area was far more than just one million.
Other than the few Sanctuary Cities conquered initially, for the later affiliated cities, not all Blue Star players joined Dawn City— in fact, not even half did.
This is because Dawn City itself also had a cap on the number of subordinates.
But now?
With the Affiliated City Module loaded, Dawn City instantly gained a “new district.”
Though for now, it could only link Level 0 Sanctuary Cities, and up to six of them.
But…
Yu Jin believed that as Dawn City kept upgrading and developing, the number and level of linkable Sanctuary Cities would eventually increase!
At this moment—
Over a million subordinates in Dawn City had their gazes firmly fixed on the ring—unable to look away in the slightest.
On the Martial Arts Plaza—
Chen Gang’s eyes were wide as saucers, Yin Yao’s beautiful eyes tightened, Neil looked immensely proud, and Jiang Haichuan seemed dazed out of his mind…
The subordinates throughout the city looked at each other, momentarily at a loss for words to describe the scene before them.
“This…”
“Are we really in the Wasteland, and not inside some futuristic city from a sci-fi film?”
Someone mumbled in confusion.
Boom—
Rumble—!
The tremors in Dawn City continued.
After the “ring”, the gate region was also covered in light.
A million pairs of eyes saw—
The original, giant towering city gate of Dawn City was slowly disappearing in the light.
“The gate’s gone?”
“Wait…”
“What’s that?”
They saw—
Where the city gate once stood, a vast plaza appeared.
The plaza surface was covered with intricate energy vein patterns.
Above the plaza, a massive geometric crystal floated slowly.
The crystal was semi-transparent, continuously radiating dazzling light.
Buzz—
Buzz buzz—
The plaza exuded waves of regular, special fluctuations.
“Teleportation?”
High above Dawn City, Yu Jin stared at the plaza, and sensed something.
As City Lord, he received detailed information on every change in Dawn City right away.
What had replaced the gate was the “Quantum Transmission Plaza.”
[Quantum Transmission Plaza (Out): Consumes Energy, can accurately teleport lifeforms/non-lifeforms inside the city to the ground below.]
Boom—
Rumble—!
Dawn City trembled again. In another direction, an almost identical plaza appeared.
[Quantum Transmission Plaza (In): Consumes Energy, can accurately teleport lifeforms/non-lifeforms from the ground below into the city.]
“Hsss—”
At this moment—
Even Yu Jin couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.
How was this any different from the “beam teleportation” you see in sci-fi movies?
No, this was even more sci-fi, even more extraordinary!
“This means…”
“As long as there’s enough Energy, Dawn City will NEVER need to land!”
Yu Jin was stunned.
Before this, he’d always felt Dawn City flying in the sky was awesome, but everyone going in or out still had to land and open the gate like a regular Sanctuary City.
Especially—
As Dawn City got larger and larger, it became more and more troublesome to find places nearby to land each time they conquered a Sanctuary City.
But now?
With the newly added city function “Quantum Transmission Plaza”, Dawn City had truly become the “Sky City” in name and in fact!
Let’s not talk about Energy Consumption for the moment—just the “cool” factor alone made Yu Jin give it a perfect score!
“Very nice!”
Yu Jin was ecstatic.
Back then, he chose “Sky” as Dawn City’s Trait, wasn’t it exactly for this kind of effect?
Coolness, that’s a lifelong pursuit!
Energy?
Plenty of Energy!
[Current Energy Source: Tier Ten Energy Crystal *1]
[Current Energy Remaining: 91%]
Strictly speaking, the Energy Consumption of Sky City truly was astronomical.
A Tier Ten Energy Crystal—on A3 Planet, it was enough to make countless Tier Eight Extreme City Lords fight to the bitter end.
But…
For Yu Jin, a Tier Ten Crystal was something you earned just by smacking an “Tier Eight Mutant Beast” dead casually.
“Now that the promotion’s complete, time to get to business!”
Yu Jin took a deep breath and didn’t bother checking all the finer changes in Dawn City.
Buzz—
Spatial ripples spread, and Yu Jin returned to the Core Area.
Right now, the Core Area was the very top of the Tower of the Sky, the highest point in Dawn City.
The top was made of a semi-transparent dome; standing here, you could easily take in the entirety of Dawn City at a glance.
Yu Jin walked to the City Core and pressed his hand down.
[Beep beep—!]
[You’ve purchased the product “Tier Six Ability Max Level”!]
[Product Price: 50 million Points]
[Purchase Quantity: 12]
[Points Deducted: 600 million]
[Remaining Points Balance: 49.7 billion]
Come to think of it, Yu Jin really ought to thank the “A3 Planet Rule” for that earlier reward of 50 billion Points.
Killing Allen and those Selza Civilization players granted Civilization Source Points but NO Wasteland Points.
And as the One-Click Max Level Ability’s Tier rose, its price also skyrocketed.
Tier Five Ability’s One-Click Max Level cost only 10 million Points each.
Tier Six Ability’s One-Click Max Level soared up to 50 million Points per.
Tier Seven, Eight, or Nine in the future, the price breaking a hundred million each was highly likely.
And Yu Jin’s Attribute count was way higher than all the other City Lords, so this area was a massive expense for him.
“Not a big deal, I’m filthy rich.”
Yu Jin muttered softly, glancing at his personal panel.
He’d waited a long, long time for this moment.
[Sixth-tier Space Attribute Ability: Coordinate Imprint Level 9]
[Active Effect: Mark Spatial Coordinates (max 9999), can Shuttle among coordinates regardless of distance]
[Full-Level Effect: Consumes Energy to construct Teleportation Channels among Coordinate Imprints (max quantity: 9)]
[Note: The more Energy consumed, the larger and more stable the Teleportation Channel]
[Note: Can set up long-term Teleportation Channels, but requires a fixed Energy Source]
“Phew—”
Seeing the Full-Level Effect of Coordinate Imprint, Yu Jin finally let out a breath of relief.
The “Space Teleportation Array” he dreamed of had finally become reality.
But the most important thing…
was whether he could finally return to Blue Star this time.
Yu Jin didn’t activate Coordinate Imprint immediately, but first sent a communication to Yin Yao and the others.
If the channel could be built and support shuttling multiple people, Yu Jin was planning to take them back together.
…
…
Tower of the Sky, at the top.
Chen Gang, Yin Yao, Jiang Haichuan, Wang Yunpeng… and the rest, all gathered there.
The Tower of the Sky also had a small “Quantum Teleportation” function loaded.
After getting Yu Jin’s permission, the group teleported here directly from the plaza in front of the Tower of the Sky.
At this moment—
They stared at Yu Jin, eyes brimming with both nerves and excitement.
Phew—
Yu Jin drew in a deep breath.
“Enhancement!”
He focused his mind, activating the Special Talent he’d gained from Hao Wen.
Enhancement target: Coordinate Imprint.
“Coordinate Imprint!”
Within Yu Jin, Attribute Energy surged wildly.
The effect of Attribute Ability was essentially proportional to Energy strength.
And right now, Yu Jin unleashed his full Tier Fourteen Value!
Tier Twelve’s Value was already in the tens of millions.
Tier Fourteen—directly hit a terrifying thirty million!
Even with suppression counted in, Yu Jin’s real Value was 100 + 2,900 * 50% = 15.5 million!
The true ultimate Value Monster!
Boom—!
Rumble—!
The moment Yu Jin unleashed the full force of his Energy, the entire Dawn City shook violently.
Atop the Tower of the Sky—
Even though Yu Jin had specially cast a “Spatial Shield” on Chen Gang and the rest to block the Energy shockwave, they were all still frozen, blood nearly stopping in their veins!
Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying!
They knew Yu Jin was strong, but not THIS strong!
Especially—
They’d all felt Naiya’s aura at full force before, Tier Eight Limit.
Her Value of 99,000 was like an ant before Yu Jin’s current power!
And themselves?
Even more ant-like than ants!
Crack—
Crrrack—
Crisp sounds of Space shattering suddenly rang out.
A pitch-black, unfathomable Black Hole appeared out of nowhere.
“Is it done?!”
Last time, during Naiya’s prophecy, Yin Yao and the others hadn’t been present—seeing the Space Black Hole now, they snapped out of their earlier terror and gasped in shock.
Yu Jin kept his face taut, still channeling Attribute Energy nonstop.
He could feel that this Space Black Hole was highly unstable.
Whoosh—
Just like last time, Yu Jin reached his right hand into the Black Hole.
Buzz—
Spatial ripples spread out, but Yu Jin’s right hand wasn’t annihilated into nothingness.
“Lifeforms can pass through, but…”
“You’ll need a physical Value of at least ten million to endure it.”
Yu Jin came to a conclusion.
Which meant that Yin Yao and the others still couldn’t go back to Blue Star with him yet.
Yu Jin relayed the message, and though Yin Yao and the others were disappointed, they weren’t discouraged.
“President, you can do it!”
Yin Yao waved, cheering Yu Jin on.
“Old Yu, it’s all on you now!”
Days later, Chen Gang finally called him by the familiar nickname again.
“City Lord Yu, we believe in you!”
Wang Yunpeng, Jiang Haichuan and the others, all looked expectant, waiting for Yu Jin to return with good news.
“Alright.”
Yu Jin replied softly.
And then—
Buzz—!
Right before him, the Space Black Hole—originally the size of a washbasin—whirled as it started to expand.
In just a moment, it had grown to human height.
Yu Jin looked back, gave Yin Yao and the others a reassuring look.
Then—
Whoosh—!
He stepped forward, body merging into the Black Hole and vanished without a trace.
After many days, after countless trials, he returns to Blue Star!
