Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 189 5: Brother Tongzi Is Still Going Strong! Am I the Squad Leader Now?
“Not bad.”
Yu Jin looked at the meteor shower falling from the sky, nodding in satisfaction.
In a certain sense,
He could be said to have set off fireworks on Mars, too.
Though behind these dazzling fireworks lay the deaths of hundreds of Fallen Ones.
Among them, even a Tier Two Level Nine Fallen Leader was included.
Swoosh—
Before Yu Jin’s eyes, the system promptly displayed the rewards info.
[With your low-dimensional ant-like body, you have crossed ranks to obliterate ‘Tier Five Level Nine Fallen One—Dio Nelson’!]
[Such an achievement reverses the authority and shakes the universe!]
[Wasteland Source Points +190,000!]
[You have obtained: Tier Five Limit-Breaking Stone *1]
[…]
[You killed ‘Tier Two Level Nine Fallen One—Dio Nelson’!]
[‘Strongman’s Spoils’ activated…]
[You have obtained one of his attributes!]
[You have awakened the 14th attribute: Dark Fire!]
“Huh?”
“Dark Fire?”
Yu Jin was a bit surprised.
So it really is like what I had guessed earlier?
The Fallen’s attributes are similar to human Evolvers, the difference is they have prefixes like ‘dark’ or ‘pollution’, right?
Swoosh—
Yu Jin moved his thoughts and pulled up his personal panel.
With fourteen attributes, the total number in the Ability section had already broken a hundred.
Yu Jin’s gaze fell on the nine newly added abilities.
[First-rank Dark Fire Attribute Ability: Fireball Lv1]
[Active Effect: Launches a fireball, dealing damage]
At first glance, it doesn’t seem any different from ordinary attribute abilities.
But…
Buzz—!
Yu Jin raised his hand, condensing a fist-sized blazing fireball at his fingertip.
On the crimson fireball, there was a faint trace of blackness.
“Black mist?”
“Pollution?”
Yu Jin sensed that he could channel ‘pollution’ to amplify the fireball’s power.
Buzz—!
The instant his thought landed, several thick strands of black mist surged up from the fireball.
Yu Jin perceived that this black mist wasn’t conjured from thin air, but sourced from the Martian earth beneath his feet.
In that moment.
Yu Jin fell into thought.
“Is this…”
“Turning me into a Fallen One?”
…
…
Energy Hub No. 07.
Human Camp.
Yu Jin slowly descended from midair.
Wherever he passed, the crowd silently parted to make a path.
At the end of the road…
Captain Blue Silver—Don Flack—stood as if facing a mortal enemy.
“He’s coming for me!”
Don Flack tensed up, Wood Attribute Energy churning inside him!
He couldn’t understand…
He couldn’t understand why this young man could possibly be this strong.
Even the legendary Limit Breakers couldn’t possibly break their limits this far!
That ‘Earth-Bursting Celestial Star’ just now, in his perception, was almost at the level of a Tier Four or even Tier Five Unlimiter’s full-power blow!
This guy was simply a monster, a complete and utter monster!
“Oi.”
Yu Jin walked up to Don Flack and stopped right in front of him.
The same greeting—as identical as Don Flack’s earlier one.
The difference is,
after the magnificent Martian meteor shower, their statuses had been completely reversed.
Yu Jin, had become the one high and mighty, looking down on him.
As for Don Flack, though he was still, nominally, Captain of the camp’s strongest squad and leader of the Human Camp,
in reality…
“What are your Attributes?”
Yu Jin’s tone was cool and detached.
Don Flack froze for a moment, then his face visibly twisted.
Such a direct question about his attribute privacy—this was far too disrespectful to him as Captain Blue Silver!
Unbearable!
Don Flack cursed fiercely in his heart.
Right now, he wished he could pull out his ‘Miss Athena’s Personal Guard Captain’ status and use it to intimidate this cocky punk.
But…
The moment that thought arose, he killed it at once.
If Miss Athena learned of this guy’s exploits, she’d probably promote him to Personal Guard Captain herself on the spot, maybe even shower him with extraordinary rewards.
The Federal Heiress attaches great importance to outstanding talent!
So…
Trying to overawe with authority simply wouldn’t work.
Since that’s the case…
“Wood Attribute, Hammer Attribute, Entanglement Attribute!”
Don Flack answered obediently.
“Tch.”
Yu Jin looked a bit disappointed.
He’d seen this guy glowing green head-to-toe when using his abilities, and had thought he might possess the ‘Life’ attribute or something.
If it really was ‘Life’, even if he had to wait out Strongman’s Spoils’ cooldown for a day, he’d have to ‘defeat’ Captain Blue Silver and see if he could grab it.
After all…
Yu Jin’s personal panel still hosted that heaven-defying ‘Death Lv1’ ability.
That was something he’d gotten back on Blue Star, but its usage condition was requiring both Cause and Effect and Life dual attributes.
Cause and Effect was already in hand, but the Life attribute had yet to be seen.
“Alright then.”
Yu Jin nodded, approving of Don Flack’s tact.
“Where’s the Fallen Camp?”
“And do you know the locations of the other Energy Hubs?”
After some thought, Yu Jin asked two questions.
Don Flack paused briefly, hesitated, and answered truthfully:
“I don’t know where the Fallen Camp is.”
“But I do know the locations of Energy Hubs 06 and 08.”
Yu Jin nodded with satisfaction.
“That’s enough.”
“Lead the way.”
Don Flack’s eyes went wide.
The nearly a thousand Evolvers in the camp, who’d been cautiously eavesdropping, froze in place.
“Ah…?”
For a long moment—
Only then did Don Flack respond.
Yu Jin shot him a cool glance, saying nothing.
“I’ll lead!”
“I’ll take you!”
Don Flack nodded as if his head were on a spring.
Lead or die—this was never a multiple-choice question.
…
…
Mars Desert, Central Camp.
Athena stared at the translucent projection in front of her, her sculpted, exquisite face filled with gravity.
