Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 238 - 29: A Million Subordinates Tour the City! Yu Chen: I’ve Become a Country Bumpkin! (Part 2)
Chapter 238: Chapter 29: A Million Subordinates Tour the City! Yu Chen: I’ve Become a Country Bumpkin! (Part 2)
Although the city level hadn’t changed, Yu Jin, with nothing better to do, kept buying various city facilities in the resource points mall.
This resulted in—
Dawn City now getting new facilities almost every few days.
The cityscape kept changing, again and again, based on its original foundation.
To call Dawn City “changing with each passing day” couldn’t be more fitting.
Forget the visitors from other cities—even the native subordinates of Dawn City would sometimes feel dazed after shutting themselves in for a few days, popping crystals, then coming out again.
“Friends from other cities—”
“Welcome to Sky · Dawn City!”
“I’ll be your guide for today’s tour…”
Not long after.
On the plaza, figures descended from the sky one by one.
With cordial, enthusiastic smiles, each led groups of subordinates from other cities, leaving in an orderly fashion.
Worth a mention.
The subordinates from other cities soon discovered—
The tour guides were all, without exception, Tier Seven Evolvers!
You have to realize…
Their own City Lord was just Tier Seven, too!
And on Z99 Planet,
Tier Seven, while not as strong as Tier Eight or Tier Nine, is definitely considered a powerful being.
But here?
You could only be a tour guide…
…
…
Tower of the Sky.
The top of the tower.
Yu Chen gazed down over the sights of Dawn City, unable to find words for a long time.
In the past, he’d always thought—
That he managed to become a Tier Seven Evolver in just a few months, and build a Level 6 Shelter City, was an impressive achievement.
But now?
After seeing his brother Yu Jin’s Dawn City,
Yu Chen felt like that country bumpkin who just arrived from the sticks.
No, that’s not right.
Not even that fashionable.
Compared to Dawn City, his own city wasn’t even a city; calling it a village wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
After all…
Thanks to the introductions from Yin Yao and the others, Yu Chen realized that the ten affiliated cities on the Ring of the Sky were all Level 8 Shelter Cities!
The Qili City he had always considered a major rival, was just a Level 8 Shelter City too…
“Son.”
“Your brother’s Dawn City, not bad, huh?”
Old Yu, since seeing Yu Chen again, was in remarkably high spirits.
Seeing Yu Chen staring at the cityscape in a daze, he sidled up and tapped his shoulder.
“Not just not bad—it’s simply, simply…”
Yu Chen said “simply” for a while, but never managed to finish the sentence.
He really was lost for words, couldn’t find any adjectives.
“Haha.”
His reaction made Old Yu laugh so hard he looked like a blooming chrysanthemum again.
“Dad…”
“Can you tell me about what my brother’s been through lately…”
Yu Chen was extremely curious: how did his brother pull all this off?
Old Yu was more than happy, nodding and shaking his head as he started telling Yu Chen everything.
And behind them,
Yu Jin watched the scene and smiled faintly.
“My lord—”
“According to Yu Chen’s description, I’ve used Dawn City’s detection facilities to lock onto Qili City’s coordinates.”
Neil walked up behind Yu Jin and reported respectfully.
“Mm.”
Yu Jin nodded.
“Should we head out now?”
“Suppress Qili City?”
Neil asked respectfully.
“Sure.”
As Yu Jin spoke,
Yin Yao, Naiya, Old Cui Chen Gang, and the others standing nearby were all rubbing their fists, dying to get started.
After reuniting with Yu Jin’s younger brother, everyone wanted to show off a bit!
Especially…
Based on Yu Chen’s description and Neil’s detection, this Z99 Planet was much stronger overall than the previous wasteland planets.
There were almost ten Tier Nine Evolvers alone.
Tier Nine Evolvers?
For Yin Yao and the others, those were the perfect targets—a bunch of sandbags for sharpening their combat skills!
…
…
Z99 Planet.
Zone 80.
Qili City, located at the center of the area.
As a Level 8 Shelter City, its population of subordinates had reached ten million.
On Z99 Planet’s ranking board, Qili City was in the top ten, sitting at number nine.
This meant—
With just a month left, as long as nothing unexpected happened, Qili City’s promotion to Star System Wasteland was basically guaranteed.
At the moment,
Inside an opulent City Lord’s Mansion,
Sakagawa Yu, shirtless, was half-reclining.
On either side, young servant girls were massaging him.
“Finally, finally about to promote…”
Sakagawa Yu was in a fantastic mood, his smile radiant.
Every now and then, he reached out to tease and knead the servant beside him.
He’d clawed his way through Z99 Planet for well over seventy years to get here.
Now there was only one month left to promotion.
Sakagawa Yu had fully relaxed, ready to enjoy a few emperor-like days.
After all…
After promotion, it was a whole new journey.
“Sir.”
A voice called from outside the palace.
“Speak.”
Sakagawa Yu turned over lazily, casually squeezing the servant girl.
“The troop we sent to the other city…”
“Lost contact!”
The report from outside the palace was tinged with anxiety.
“Hmm?”
Sakagawa Yu paused mid-roll hearing that.
“Lost contact?”
Sakagawa Yu’s brows knitted.
To make sure nothing went wrong, he’d even sent four extra Tier Eight Evolvers.
“What about Fukuda Mantai?”
Sakagawa Yu asked in a low voice.
“Can’t reach him…”
The voice outside grew ever weaker.
“Also unreachable?”
Sakagawa Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Fukuda Mantai was one of his top three subordinates, already at the Tier Eight Limit, just one step away from Tier Nine!
Logically, on Z99 Planet, unless another Tier Nine City Lord intervened, even if Fukuda Mantai wasn’t a match, he could still retreat safely.
“Did other cities get involved?”
“That girl from Phoenix Soaring City?”
Sakagawa Yu’s thoughts churned.
In this region, the only possibility he could think of was another Level 8 Shelter City, Phoenix Soaring City, messing with the other city’s affairs.
That young City Lord Yu Chen from the other city had left a deep impression on Sakagawa Yu.
Originally, he didn’t plan to push the guy into a corner.
But…
That kid’s destiny was way too freakish.
He even managed to encounter a heavily wounded Tier Nine Infected Body.
Not only that, but the infected body even dropped a Tier Nine Energy Crystal!
Tier Nine Energy Crystal…
Such a precious resource, even Sakagawa Yu coveted intensely.
He was only at early Tier Nine now, and a Tier Nine Crystal would help him tremendously.
Not long ago, he sent out an envoy.
The kid said he’d be willing to hand over the crystal.
But after thinking it over, Sakagawa Yu still decided he needed to root them out completely.
Only kids make choices—Sakagawa Yu wanted everything!
He wanted the crystal and Yu Chen’s life!
After all…
There’s still a month left; he didn’t want any variables to appear.
Plus, Yu Chen’s potential and growth speed were terrifying—Sakagawa Yu feared that in fifty years, once the kid was promoted, he could cause him trouble in the Star System Wasteland.
Sakagawa Yu mulled it over for ages, then finally stood up.
Servant girls on both sides helped him put on his robe.
Whoosh—
Sakagawa Yu stepped out and appeared outside the palace.
“Tell me the details!”
“What exactly is happening at the other city?”
Sakagawa Yu’s tone was grim.
But…
Just as he finished speaking,
BOOM—!
BOOM—!
A series of thunderous roars shook the celestial vault above.
The once sunny sky gradually darkened.
“Hmm?”
Sakagawa Yu frowned slightly, an ominous feeling rising inside him.
Whoosh—
He pressed down with his feet, body shooting into the sky.
Sakagawa Yu stood atop the sky over Qili City, gazing up at the clouds and their looming, indistinct shadow, his eyes full of confusion.
“That…”
“What the hell is that thing?”
Sakagawa Yu had been on Z99 Planet for ages—even the top two Tier Nine City Lords he’d seen in person, interacted with.
But the shadow above the clouds baffled him completely; he knew nothing about it.
“Keep watching.”
As a Tier Nine Evolver, the apex of the food chain on Z99 Planet, Sakagawa Yu—despite his rising anxiety—managed to stay cool.
BOOM—!
Another deafening blast.
At that moment,
The ten million subordinates in Qili City all craned their necks up at the sky.
Then…
They witnessed the most unforgettable scene of their lives!
From the clouds, a colossal sky city, unimaginably vast, appeared!
Whoosh—
Brilliant white light illuminated the horizon.
Beneath the Sky City, countless figures stretched as far as the eye could see, emerging one after another.
Their total number had already surpassed one hundred million!
Their aura was so overwhelming it suffocated people!
At the very front, a youth cast a faint, downward gaze.
That look…
Was like he was staring at ten million utterly dead corpses!
