Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 214 - 17: Only Magic Can Defeat Magic, Only Machinery Can Penetrate Machinery! (Part 2)
Chapter 214: Chapter 17: Only Magic Can Defeat Magic, Only Machinery Can Penetrate Machinery! (Part 2)
And during these days,
Yu Jin, besides strolling around and slaying Mutant Beasts, milking a million High-tier Crystals out of the system, also never forgot to boost his own power.
Tier Sixteen Evolver status, for now, can’t upgrade any further.
One hundred million Value is already the max the planet server can handle. Yu Jin still has Tier Eighteen Crystals, but if he pops them…
The server would probably crash on the spot.
For Attribute Ability Levels, Yu Jin has long maxed everything to Level 9.
Now,
Yu Jin’s upgrade focus is…
Attributes!
“Just fourteen attributes? Way too few.”
“Not enough, not nearly enough!”
So,
Yu Jin roamed across A4 Planet, using the Eye of Insight to hunt for attributes he thought had potential.
Then…
“Your attribute is nice, but now, it’s mine!”
[You defeated ’Tier Seven Evolver – Sarimu’!]
[’Strongman’s Spoils’ triggered…]
[You acquired one of his attributes!]
[You awakened your fifteenth attribute: Water!]
Pure Water attribute, extremely rare.
But Yu Jin still found it, and successfully looted it.
[You defeated ’Tier Eight Evolver – Kato Junyi’!]
[’Strongman’s Spoils’ triggered…]
[You acquired one of his abilities!]
[You gained new ability: Kato’s Hand]
[This ability requires a ’Vibration’ attribute to use.]
“…”
Yu Jin stared at the pile of meat mush on the ground nearby, lost in thought.
He originally had his eye on the guy’s Whitebeard-style ’Vibration’ attribute.
But who knew…
Strongman’s Spoils randomly pulled the wrong prize.
“Too bad.”
Yu Jin sighed lightly, and moved on to his next target.
Half a day later.
[You defeated ’Tier Eight Evolver – Aoki Ling Tree’!]
[’Strongman’s Spoils’ triggered…]
[You acquired one of his attributes!]
[You awakened your sixteenth attribute: Growth!]
“This time I got it right.”
Yu Jin looked at the panel, satisfied as nine new ’Growth’ attribute abilities appeared.
Speaking of ’Growth,’ what Yu Jin really wanted most was the ’Life’ attribute.
That ’Death’ ability he picked up earlier is still unusable, and it really bugs him.
But…
The rarity of the ’Life’ attribute is clearly beyond Yu Jin’s imagination.
Or rather,
Life, Destruction, Cause and Effect, Space, Time… these kinds of attributes are basically bug-tier stuff.
Among A4 Planet’s nearly ten billion Evolvers, Yu Jin hasn’t found a single one with any of these attributes.
This isn’t just one in a hundred million, it’s one in ten billion, a hundred billion, maybe a trillion.
Another day passes.
[You defeated ’Tier One Evolver – Kawasaki Suzuki’!]
[’Strongman’s Spoils’ triggered…]
[You acquired one of his attributes!]
[You awakened your seventeenth attribute: Mechanical!]
Yu Jin looked at the trembling young man kneeling nearby, shaking like a leaf, and shook his head with a sigh.
Technically speaking,
As a Tier Sixteen Evolver bullying a Tier One Evolver, it’s really not fair.
But…
The ’Mechanical’ attribute—same style as Neil—is indeed both rare and powerful.
Plus,
Yu Jin had tried to have some in-depth exchanges with Neil before, but it didn’t go too well.
Mechanical and flesh, there’s still a bit of a gap.
Even with Yu Jin’s ’Hardening’ and ’Super-speed Reproduction’ for support, it still felt lacking.
So once he found a Mechanical attribute Evolver, Yu Jin’s interest was instantly piqued.
Use magic to defeat magic.
Use machinery to understand machinery!
Of course, before leaving, Yu Jin didn’t forget to leave the young man a few Energy Crystals.
“Blame it on Wasteland’s matchmaking system, alright?”
…
…
Time quietly slipped by.
Five days passed.
A409 Area, Liu Ying City.
After Dawn City swept across all regions of A4 Planet, in the end, it came back to its starting point of arrival.
On the ground outside Liu Ying City,
The sight was packed with countless figures.
They were all subordinates of Dawn City, and in just five short days, each had improved drastically.
Even those just recently recruited as Tier Three and Tier Four subordinates had pretty much upgraded their Low-tier abilities to Max Level for their current Tier.
Everyone’s faces were lit up, wearing excited grins.
“Joining Dawn City is the best decision of my entire life—no contest!”
Such talk has already spread throughout Dawn City.
Meanwhile, inside Liu Ying City’s City Lord’s Mansion,
Yu Jin was slouched in the City Lord’s seat, staring at two figures kneeling before him, deep in thought.
One is Liu Ying City’s former City Lord, Tier Five Evolver Tao Nai Xiang.
The other…
Is someone Yu Jin stumbled upon on A4 Planet and brought back to Liu Ying City.
[Tao Naimu]
[Mother Star: Flower Star]
[Tier: Tier Six]
[Attributes: Milk, Softness]
[Evaluation: Dual Attribute Evolver, extremely rare and special with two unique attributes. Combat Power isn’t much, but comfort and experience are maxed out!]
Tao Naimu and Tao Nai Xiang are twin sisters.
Yu Jin originally had kind intentions—reuniting the sisters—so brought Tao Naimu to Liu Ying City on a whim.
But now?
“Milord!”
“Your servant begs you——”
“Let me and my sister join your city, serving by your side day and night!”
Tao Nai Xiang knelt, calling out loudly.
Her throat was already going hoarse.
Tao Naimu, as the older sister, didn’t speak, but her watery gaze was locked on Yu Jin.
The sight had Yu Jin sighing, “this is a real test for leadership.”
Actually, Dawn City hasn’t fully reached its subordinate capacity limit yet.
Considering Yu Chen might become City Lord, and would have his own subordinates and followers, Yu Jin specifically left about five million slots open.
Putting a pair of twin sisters in the five million? Not a problem…
Yu Jin propped his chin, thinking deeply.
Swoosh—
Suddenly,
Besides Yu Jin and the twin sisters, an empty chamber saw another figure appear.
The newcomer was Yin Yao, currently in charge of all things big and small in Dawn City.
“President.”
Yin Yao glanced at the twin sisters kneeling, their butts stuck high in the air, and softly reported to Yu Jin:
“A batch of High-tier Evolvers from A4 Planet wants to join Dawn City and pledge allegiance to you.”
“I’ve screened them, and the current number sits at about a hundred.”
“Twenty are Tier Eight Evolvers, eighty are Tier Seven.”
“Should we accept them as new subordinates for Dawn City?”
Yu Jin raised a brow at that.
Yin Yao added,
“Over the past few days, Dawn City’s fame has spread all over A4 Planet.”
“Countless Evolvers on the planet are fighting tooth and nail to get into Dawn City…”
Here, Yin Yao paused, face oddly amused:
“Even the subordinates of that Tier Nine ’Invincible Celestial King’ have scrambled to join, hoping to be accepted.”
“They say, even if it’s just the lowest ranking subordinate, even if it’s only guard or street cleaner, they’re desperate for it.”
As soon as she said that,
The Tao Naimu Sisters trembled again, bodies quivering.
Compared to Tier Seven and Tier Eight Evolvers, they were so insignificant, nowhere near catching the big boss’s eye…
“What do you think?”
Yu Jin thought it over and tossed Yin Yao the question.
She pondered, then said:
“I think it’s doable.”
“Even though Dawn City subordinates have unlimited crystals, and you regularly gift them Purifying Light, absorbing High-tier Crystals still takes a ton of time to digest.”
“To truly forge a fully Tier Eight or even Tier Nine High-tier Evolver Corps before promoting, maybe these people could help.”
“Also——”
Yin Yao paused, inhaled deeply:
“The coming Star River War will be brutal.”
“Even Dawn City won’t avoid losing talent or corps…”
“If we absorb these outsider Evolvers, in future Star River Wars, maybe we can have them hit the frontlines, so we can preserve the Blue Star Civilization’s living strength as much as possible.”
Yin Yao’s words were refreshingly honest, bordering on selfish.
But…
That’s just what Yu Jin wanted.
He’s no saint, doesn’t want to be some Great Love Immortal Venerable either.
So…
“Go for it.”
Yu Jin finally decided.
“Understood, I’ll go arrange things now.”
A smile broke across Yin Yao’s face as she saw her plan approved.
But,
Before she left, she glanced, almost unconsciously, at the kneeling twin sisters before Yu Jin.
Her eyes flickered, but not with jealousy or discontent.
Instead…
The steadily rising, ever thickening sense of nervousness and urgency.
These days,
The number of vixen types trying to climb into president’s fifty-meter-wide bed keeps increasing.
If it’s someone like Nayaniel jumping ahead, she lets it slide.
But if these twin sisters beat her to it?
Now that’s unforgivable!
Yin Yao inhaled deeply, steeling herself.
Once these tasks are settled, she’ll find Nasha and Aili to study positions—uh, study Knowledge—just like Naiya.
