Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 303 - 61: Ophelia Fleet Arrives in the Low Dimension! Commander Exam! Trouble Seekers! (Part 2)
Among them—
There are more than twenty Super Large Fortresses.
Large Fortresses, over a hundred in total.
Medium, Small, and Micro Fortresses, numbering in the thousands and tens of thousands.
With such a scale of power, even in the Star System Wasteland of the Vast Star System, it’s enough to attract attention.
And at the center of each fortress fleet—
An Interstellar Fortress, several times more massive, stands tall and imposing.
Its name: Dawn.
Now, it’s been more than half a month since the end of the war outside the P-8808 Star Realm.
In these past two weeks, Dawn Fortress and its affiliated warships have been speeding at full throttle across the Endless Starry Sky.
Their destination is the T-1001 Star Realm, that Uninhabited Planet bearing one hundred million Blue Star Civilization players.
And in the past month—
More than a hundred million subordinates of Dawn Fortress have all been incredibly busy.
Ye Ye happens to be one of them.
At this moment—
He sits at his desk, with several semi-transparent virtual projections floating before him.
The projections are filled with all kinds of complicated characters and symbols.
If you look closely, you can also see dozens of warship and spaceship sketches drawn on them.
“Xiaoye!”
“The third Commander exam is about to begin!”
“Why are you still cramming at the last minute?”
From outside the study comes a crisp, pleasant female voice.
The speaker is a petite loli.
Her name is Laya, once the City Lord of Laxi City on A3 Planet, one among millions on Moore Star.
Now, she and Ye Ye, formerly just subordinates of Laxi City, have become good friends.
The two have feelings for each other; though they haven’t pierced that final veil, they already live together in the same big house.
This three-hundred-square-meter house, in the inner ring of the fortress, was also one of Yu Jin’s early gifts to Ye Ye.
“Almost, almost…”
“Let me review, just one last push!”
Hearing Laya’s call, Ye Ye’s still somewhat youthful, innocent face shows a hint of nervousness.
This is already his third time taking the Commander exam.
The past two times, he didn’t pass.
This time, he doesn’t want to fail again—otherwise Miss Laya would be disappointed in him.
For this—
Ye Ye nearly gave up sleep, pulling all-nighters in the study for several days straight.
“Ah, geez…”
“Time to go now!”
“If you don’t leave, you’ll miss the exam!”
Half an hour later—
Laya calls again from outside the study, her voice still bright.
Click—
As her words land, the study door opens up.
“I’m ready!”
“I’ll definitely make it this time!”
Ye Ye’s face is full of resolve.
Laya is stunned for a moment, then breaks into a blossom-like smile.
“Even if you don’t pass this time, really, it’s okay!”
“If you actually become a Fortress Battleship Commander, it might be really tough, you know…”
Laya says softly, but she’s already taken Ye Ye’s arm.
The two head out together, board the unmanned flying car that’s been waiting at the door, heading for the Martial Arts Plaza at the fortress’s center.
…
…
“So many people!”
Martial Arts Plaza.
Ye Ye and Laya step down from the flying car, sighing out loud together.
In the past two weeks—
The hundred million subordinates of the fortress have all entered a ’study’ state.
Just because—
The Lord has launched a ’national Commander selection’.
Anyone who passes gets a shot at becoming a warship or even Fortress Commander, and owning their own warship or fortress!
Besides that—
Dawn Fortress is also carrying out mass training.
The content of the training is aimed at warship or fortress crew members.
According to Vice Lord Yin Yao—
In the future Dawn Fortress, everyone will need to board a fortress or warship.
The outstanding ones will become Commanders.
The average ones will just be crew members.
Ye Ye is a young man with dreams, not content with being an ordinary warship member—he wants to be a Commander who rules a domain!
The sea of people before him just shows, there are many, many dreamers like Ye Ye…
“Go for it!”
“I believe you can do it!”
Laya pumps her tiny fists, cheering Ye Ye on.
Ye Ye nods seriously, then takes a deep breath and strides toward the exam area set up in the center of Martial Arts Plaza.
…
…
Tower of the Sky, tower top.
Inside the Lord’s private bedroom.
After Dawn Fortress was loaded with the High-dimensional Super Large Fortress Core, Yu Jin’s exclusive bedroom underwent enormous changes.
Calling it a ’bedroom’ is almost inaccurate.
To be precise—
This single room is already the size of a manor.
And Yu Jin went out of his way to upgrade the original fifty-meter bed, swapping it for a ’top-class one-hundred-meter luxury bed’.
At this moment—
Yu Jin lies lazily on the giant bed.
His pillows? The Tao Naimu Xiang sisters.
Both girls’ faces are flushed, breathing a bit heavy.
“L-Lord…”
“Diana is ready…”
At the front of the bed—
Moonlight Fortress Lord Diana bows her head and kneels.
Her delicate face is also covered in red blush.
Because—
The scene atop the giant bed is honestly a bit ’rowdy’.
She sees her mentor Oriental Li and Nangong Linglong, both cosplaying as free birds.
And she…
Today she’s here for the same reason.
Free birds are her closest goal for now.
If she wants to get ahead?
The number on her love token is approaching 20 already.
“Mm.”
On the bed, Yu Jin glances at Diana and responds absently.
At some point—
Nasha, that foxy minx, self-appointed herself as the mysterious mentor.
Oriental Li, Nangong Linglong, and now Diana—
All turned up in front of Yu Jin, well-behaved after being brainwashed and coached by Nasha.
“Maybe…”
“I should give Nasha a real reward?”
When Diana crawls slowly to his side, Yu Jin thinks to himself.
“Uh…”
“C-could you make a little room…?”
“I, um, don’t have any space left…”
Diana softly asks Oriental Li and Nangong Linglong, her pretty cheeks so red they almost drip water.
Yu Jin hears her and moves his thoughts.
“Ah~!”
Several shrieks ring out at once.
“You—you can actually do that…”
The Tao Naimu Xiang sisters, still acting as pillows, are dumbfounded.
While Nasha, staring intently, suddenly has her beautiful eyes light up like twin suns.
Yu Jin just shakes his head, ignoring their reactions.
He didn’t do much, just used a bit of the ’Super-speed Reproduction’ Ability.
Whoosh—
Yu Jin’s attention doesn’t linger on these trivial affairs.
He moves his thoughts, and a star map projection appears before him.
On the star map are Dawn Fortress’s current coordinates, along with several blue light points glowing.
“Judging by the route, another month to go?”
“If things keep going like this for a month, it’s gonna get really boring…”
Yu Jin ponders.
“Speaking of…”
“I’ve kept the Civilization Hunter title activated the whole time, exposing Dawn Fortress’s coordinates to every civilization force passing by.”
“Why hasn’t anyone come to pick a fight?”
Yu Jin feels a bit regretful.
As things stand—
Dawn Fortress has a decent number of warships and fortresses, but it’s far from top-tier.
Not to mention Han Ling’s first-ranked Celestial God Civilization, compared to many top-100 powers, there’s still a gap.
So…
Yu Jin plans, before reaching T-1001 Star Realm to pick up the hundred million Blue Star Civilization players, to snatch a few more fortresses and warships.
Thanks to the ’Civilization Hunter’ effect—
Yu Jin doesn’t need to worry; just let civilizations pick a fight, then wipe them out and get a brand-new fortress or warship, a fifth their total, free of charge.
For this—
Yu Jin deliberately slowed Dawn Fortress’s warp speed through the starry sky a bit.
“Wait a little more…”
“The star map shows a massive star cluster ahead.”
“Such clusters might have top-ranked civilization forces.”
“Hope they’re greedy and ambitious enough, best if they team up to come mess with Dawn Fortress…”
Just as Yu Jin’s thoughts finish passing—
[Beep—]
A crisp communication tone rings in his ear.
The call is from Carol.
She’s not inside Dawn Fortress, but part of the forward scout fleet.
“Supreme Lord!”
“Abnormal spatial fluctuations ahead!”
“Suspected large-scale fortress battleship gathering!”
