Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 269 - 44: The Carol Fleet Arrives! Star-devouring Touch Falls! Airdrop Plan 3.0!_2
Chapter 269: Chapter 44: The Carol Fleet Arrives! Star-devouring Touch Falls! Airdrop Plan 3.0!_2
Combining the previous Tier Nineteen fluctuations with this sudden arrival of a ’mysterious and powerful force’.
Almost all of them reached the same conclusion——
The P-8808 Star Realm is about to witness something big!
On the other side.
Outside the slowly closing Void Passage, inside the Super Large Fortress labeled S-1.
Carol was gazing at the vast starry sky filled with fortresses and fleets, her brows furrowed.
Back when she served as Commander of the Selsa Fleet, she’d heard some rumors regarding new player promotions.
It was said——
Many high-tier civilization forces loved to blockade the outskirts of the ’Newbie Village’ where new players had just been promoted.
New players promoted from the planetary wasteland could obtain micro or even small interstellar fortresses much more easily.
And these types of fortresses were exactly what those civilization forces needed.
As Carol knew, a few years ago, the Selza Civilization also took part in a similar ’blockade’ event.
That time, Selza Civilization harvested several fortresses.
Though all of them were only micro fortresses, with just one small fortress, compared to spending huge Source Points in the Wasteland shop, this ’strong-arming’ method was way more cost-effective…
“Hoo——”
Carol stared outside into the starry sky, exhaling a long breath.
Danger flickered in her bright gaze.
If these bandits really set their sights on their own Lord…
Then, as a subordinate, she wouldn’t mind activating the Quantum Resonance Splitter another time.
Under the might of the Splitter, every fortress and fleet in this Star Realm, big or small, would be instantly annihilated.
“Master’s first arrival in this starry sky…”
“Maybe he needs a good chance for some heads-on-spikes?”
Carol stared out the porthole, sinking into thought.
At the same time, she relayed the news of her arrival outside the Star Realm to Yu Jin.
“Carol Yalikosis!”
“Standing by with the Interstellar Fortress and fleet, awaiting the Lord’s arrival!”
…
…
Venus.
It had been about half a day since Yu Jin unleashed the Seventeen-Colored Lotus.
But…
The tremors across the whole planet hadn’t stopped.
If Yu Jin hadn’t promptly shaped an Energy Shield, with that attack, Venus would’ve been completely shattered, just like the Tier Sixteen Star Realm Dominator, Star-devouring Touch.
[Your divine power has arrived; with the body of an ant, you have slain the Tier Nineteen Star System-Level Mutant Beast Dominator—Star-devouring Touch. Civilization Source Points +50 million!]
[Such a feat, unprecedented through the ages, shakes the universe!]
[You received resources: Tier Eighteen Energy Crystal *2!]
In Yu Jin’s vision, the system panel’s reward info had been displayed for a while.
And this meant the mighty Star Realm Dominator that terrorized the whole planet had fallen for good.
“What a pity.”
Yu Jin shook his head, sighing softly.
He hadn’t expected the Seventeen-Colored Lotus he casually molded to be so ridiculously powerful.
He’d originally thought…
He’d turn this ’Star-devouring Touch’ into an ultra-sized teppanyaki to hand out for Dawn City’s subordinates to get some nutrition.
But now?
Star-devouring Touch’s head and tentacles were vaporized, not a shred left behind.
Rumble——
The tremors of Venus finally reached their end.
Yu Jin exhaled, no longer sustaining the planet’s energy shield.
And at that moment——
Swash——
The aftershock, delayed for half a day, swept across Venus.
Sandstorms erupted all over the planet.
But these sandstorms could no longer threaten the planet itself, and Yu Jin didn’t bother intervening.
“L-Lord!”
Inside Crystal Mountain, the Linglong City group shouted in unison.
Thump——!
Kneeling, all of them knelt.
Nangong Linglong, Gao Sheng—after witnessing Yu Jin use the Seventeen-Colored Lotus to instantly kill the Star Realm Dominator-level Mutant Beast, they utterly knelt in admiration.
Miners? Slaves?
It doesn’t matter anymore…
Facing such a terrifying Boss, simply surviving was already huge luck.
Let alone the fact, they could even, by rounding off, become the Boss’s ’colleagues’.
“…”
Yu Jin overlooked the row of kneeling Tier Eight Evolvers and the Tier Nine Mature Lady City Lord, nodding.
“Not bad.”
Yu Jin didn’t bother pretending; he seriously nodded.
From the moment he saw the Linglong City crowd, he’d already regarded them as miners for Dawn Fortress.
If they cooperate, perfect.
If not, he had ways to deal with non-cooperation.
“Remember, ten days.”
Yu Jin gave one last order, then space began to tremble around him.
With things settled, he had no reason to stay.
“Lord!”
Nangong Linglong called out in her delicate voice.
“What is it?”
Yu Jin turned back, glancing at her.
The nonchalant gaze sent the Tier Nine City Lord’s heart shuddering.
Instinctively, Nangong Linglong subtly clenched her thighs together.
“Your, your name…?”
“Can, can your subordinate know it?”
Gao Sheng and the others swore they’d never heard such humble words from their City Lord before.
But right now, none of them found it odd at all.
“Lord!”
“Could we know your honored name?”
Gao Sheng and the rest shouted together.
“Ha——”
Yu Jin shook his head, laughing softly.
Buzz——
Spatial ripples spread outward.
His figure vanished from where he stood.
Out of the void, came a faintly lingering reply:
“Yu Jin.”
…
…
Dawn Fortress, Tower of the Sky.
Yu Jin appeared before the fifty-meter-wide bed.
“Master~”
“You’re back!”
“That octopus monster earlier—you took it out yourself, right!”
“Master, you’re so awesome, so mighty!”
Tao Naimu Xiang sisters, having somehow changed into cool maid outfits, crawled up on all fours to him as soon as they saw Yu Jin return, chanting in unison.
Faced with their flattery, Yu Jin shook his head with a smile, not bothering to respond.
He’d returned to the fortress for serious business.
Swoosh——
Light flashed in front of Yu Jin’s eyes.
The system panel appeared.
“Your subordinate Commander Carol Yalikosis is sending a communication…”
“…”
Yu Jin glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze.
Carol had arrived earlier than he’d expected.
But…
Yu Jin didn’t plan to leave the P-8808 Star Realm, aka Newbie Village, so soon.
Carol’s report about the high-tier civilization bandits lurking outside the Star Realm only convinced Yu Jin further.
The moment he promoted Star System Wasteland, Yu Jin had already gotten a Wasteland OL game prompt.
First——
Just like planetary wasteland, Star System Wasteland had its own ’promotion’ mechanism, simply renamed as ’ascension’ or ’dimensional upgrade’.
The destination for ascension, unsurprisingly, was the Ophelia Federation where Athena resided, aka a high-dimensional civilization.
Second——
The time for the next promotion was almost upon him.
Saying there’s almost no time isn’t exaggerating.
Half a year—just half a year.
The next promotion wouldn’t come for a hundred years.
A hundred years?
Yu Jin wasn’t going to wait a hundred years.
He had to, and couldn’t afford to miss this chance.
And half a year was crazy short; not even enough to properly set foot in all regions of the vast Star System.
The current ranking of Dawn Fortress, or Blue Star Civilization, was only 100,000th.
Only the top 10,000 could promote.
Originally, Yu Jin wanted to target Selza Civilization for his first move.
But…
Selza in the Star System Wasteland was nothing more than a small fry.
Carol’s report inspired Yu Jin with new ideas.
“Who’s the hunter, who’s the prey?”
“That’s a great question…”
Yu Jin’s mind spun, then he sent a communication to Carol.
Not long after.
Carol replied——
“Supreme Lord!”
“I’ll carry out your orders, spreading this information as instructed!”
“If needed, I’ll use every means to make it more convincing!”
Carol’s adaptability and cleverness made Yu Jin deeply satisfied.
Meanwhile.
The battle on Venus gave Yu Jin a clear sense of his power in Star System Wasteland, or in this ’Newbie Village’ P-8808 Star Realm.
Prestige established, reputation secured.
Next, things could be left to Yin Yao and the others.
Once planetary progress hit the mark, he could trigger the promotion of Dawn Fortress.
And until then…
Yu Jin gently inhaled, his expression more serious and solemn than it had been when he faced Star-devouring Touch.
Before him, a gray-black helmet appeared from thin air.
It was…
The High-dimensional Helmet of Wasteland OL!
The previous Mars OL and Venus OL, Yu Jin had airdropped warships and resources for Carol.
This time?
He would drop waves upon waves of massive supplies—for himself, for his Dawn Fortress!
