Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 179 - 153: General Lawrence! One Million Miners! Sister Ka Wholesales Interstellar Fortresses!
Chapter 179: Chapter 153: General Lawrence! One Million Miners! Sister Ka Wholesales Interstellar Fortresses!
Originally, Toby also wanted to promote her.
But…
The power struggle among the top generals turned that promising commander into a sacrifice.
Toby was fully aware of this, and although somewhat regretful, he could only accept it.
“Could it be that General Lawrence intends to use this as a breakthrough…”
“To challenge those few lieutenant generals?”
“In recent decades, our war with the Larnaka civilization has been stalemated, unable to determine a winner.”
“The deadline for promotion is approaching, yet the Selza civilization’s promotion quota is not guaranteed…”
“In contrast, due to discovering and occupying a quality planetary system a few years ago, the Larnaka civilization’s promotion is almost a certainty.”
“Because of this, in recent years, several major fortresses of Selza have frequently seen extremely vile scandals of generals defecting…”
“The two lieutenant generals at the Ninth Fortress seem to have similar thoughts, leading to the stalemate on the battlefield…”
Toby gazed at the distant starry sky, his thoughts wandering.
He thought far and wide.
But obviously.
For him, the most important thing right now is to complete the mission given by General Lawrence.
“Coordinates—”
“R-1007 Star Realm!”
“Teleportation device at full power!”
“Prepare for continuous teleportation!”
“Must arrive within three days!”
Toby stood up, waved his big hand, and issued the command.
Inside the ’S-6’ coded interstellar fortress, figures began to bustle.
…
…
R-1007 Star Realm.
Southwest corner.
Uninhabited Planet 01.
Clang—!
Tang Yunxuan buried his head, mining with all his might.
Before his eyes, the countdown on the game panel was drawing ever closer.
From the initial 23 days, now it’s down to only 15 days.
In the past week.
Tang Yunxuan’s mining technique has become more refined, and his efficiency has continuously improved.
Now.
On the real-time ’Mining Leaderboard’, Tang Yunxuan’s name stands at third place!
The second place is Yin Zhenzhong.
The power of the Golden Shovel should not be underestimated.
The first place is held by one of the hundred thousand new players who joined later.
His name is Leng Feng, a young man in his twenties.
His attribute is simple and direct—mining.
Losing to such a professional contestant, Tang Yunxuan accepts wholeheartedly.
By comparison.
The girl Peng Siyi, with the attribute ’Giant Strength,’ following the ’Powerful Flying Brick’ route, ranks ninth, comparatively inferior.
After all, mining is a delicate task.
The rougher the technique, the lower the limit.
This is Tang Yunxuan’s evaluation of it.
“Only one day left!”
“The rankings will soon be settled, and the top ten all have the opportunity to be trained as warship commanders!”
“Stay calm, don’t rush, and mine hard!”
Tang Yunxuan motivated himself while keeping his hands busy.
Currently.
The total number of internal test players, or rather miners, on this uninhabited planet has already surpassed the million mark and is still rising.
Since yesterday, another large batch of internal test players has logged in.
Shush—
Swish swish—
At this moment, not far in front of Tang Yunxuan, new figures appeared out of thin air.
Tang Yunxuan doesn’t understand the pattern of these helmets appearing.
He only knows—
The more miners there are, the greater the competition!
As time goes on, the number of miners might even surpass ten million!
At that point…
Trying to break into the top ten on the ’Mining Leaderboard’ would be as hard as climbing the sky.
His current ranking is largely due to the fact that he logged in earlier and started mining sooner, in addition to mining for 16 hours a day.
Boom—
Rumble—!
The distant booming interrupted Tang Yunxuan’s thoughts.
He looked up, gazing at the sky.
“Hiss—”
“How did they bring back an even bigger fortress?”
Tang Yunxuan’s eyes widened.
In the past day.
Commander Carol, also known as Sister Ka, the AAA starship wholesale dealer, had been non-stop with wholesale.
Initially, it was a small interstellar unmanned fleet.
Each fleet includes small warships and interstellar unmanned mechas.
In the past short day, Sister Ka wholesaled over 30 fleets!
Then, it was the small interstellar refuge fortress.
Before then.
Tang Yunxuan thought the X-87 Interstellar Mother Ship was already incredibly extravagant in scale.
Until he witnessed a small refuge fortress descending on this planet with his own eyes…
The area of that fortress was comparable to the size of a county town on Blue Star!
Even more exaggerated…
Such fortresses, Sister Ka brought back non-stop, a total of 10!
But now?
Looking at the enormous interstellar fortress overhead, ten times larger than the small fortresses, comparable to the area of a large city, Tang Yunxuan was completely at a loss for words.
On the uninhabited planet.
Millions of miners, all looking up at the sky like Tang Yunxuan.
The new miners are still clueless.
The old miners…
Clang——!
Tang Yunxuan quickly snapped out of his shock.
He hurriedly swung his iron shovel, digging even harder!
Boom——
Rumble——!
The medium-sized interstellar fortress slowly descended.
As it landed, the earth within a hundred miles shook violently, like in an earthquake.
Carol’s figure emerged from the fortress.
Swoosh——
She flickered and appeared above the planet, overlooking the millions of players below.
“Everyone——”
Carol spoke, her voice entering everyone’s ears.
“Starting today, all will mine during the day and train at night!”
“The Lord has brought us so many warships, such powerful fortresses…”
“We must prepare early for the future conquest of the vast star systems while developing this planet!”
As her words fell.
Millions of players were ecstatic.
They didn’t know who ’the Lord’ was.
They only knew——
These sci-fi and powerful spaceships, warships, interstellar fortresses, could give them a full sense of security!
“Leng Feng!”
Carol suddenly started calling names.
“Present!”
Deep within the crystal ore, a young man with bronzed skin responded loudly.
“Starting today, you are appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Y-01 Interstellar Fortress!”
Upon hearing this.
Leng Feng was stunned.
The rest of the millions of players gasped in shock.
What…
It’s already the interstellar fortress command? Just like that?
This is insane?
They haven’t even started training, and Leng Feng, that guy, is about to lead that interstellar fortress as large as a county?
Boom——!
Rumble——!
As if to excite the millions of players further, Carol’s speech was barely over.
The interstellar fortress codenamed ’Y-01’ spewed a scorching blue and white energy stream, slowly rising into the air.
Click——!
The interstellar fortress emitted a series of sounds.
One cabin door after another opened on both sides.
Under the control of unmanned mechas, one interstellar battleship after another flew out, gliding above everyone’s heads.
“Holy crap!”
From within the crowd, bursts of exclamations ensued.
Meanwhile, Leng Feng rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot…
“Damn!”
“This kid managed to take the lead!”
Tang Yunxuan envied him to the point of teeth-gritting, while simultaneously looking at Carol with a gaze full of tension and anticipation.
Leng Feng, ranked first, got his position; as the third-ranked, he should also get one…right?
“Yin Zhenzhong!”
Carol called another name.
“Present!”
Yin Zhenzhong’s voice trembled slightly.
“Starting today, you are appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Y-02 Interstellar Fortress!”
Boom——!
Like before.
As Carol’s words fell, another small fortress roared into the sky.
Yin Zhenzhong looked up at the sky, his eyes turned red.
Pride, excitement, surprise, thrill, anticipation…
A mix of emotions intertwined, causing the middle-aged man to breathe deeply repeatedly.
“It’s my turn, it’s my turn!”
Tang Yunxuan was even more excited than Yin Zhenzhong.
His whole face was flushed, his heart pounding!
“Tang Yunxuan!”
Carol called the third name.
“Present~~~!”
Tang Yunxuan shouted hoarsely.
“…”
Carol facepalmed, glanced down at this guy, and began to doubt whether her decision was correct.
Could this unreliable youth really become the Commander-in-Chief of an interstellar fortress?
Carol’s hesitation was fleeting.
The commander can be replaced.
Today, she intended to use this matter to stimulate other players, giving them a stronger motivation to mine.
“Starting today, you are appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Y-03 Interstellar Fortress!”
Carol’s voice fell.
The third small fortress shot into the sky.
“Hahahaha!”
Tang Yunxuan couldn’t stop laughing.
“Old Yu, oh Old Yu!”
“Your brother has made it to be the Fortress Lord!”
“You must hurry up with your promotion, come quickly to the Star System Wasteland…”
“Wait till I cover you, brother!”
