Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 314 - 67: Venicca Follows! Heaven Star Mobilizes! Picking a Fight, But Not a Werewolf? (Part 2)
The fortress pierces into space.
Fully armed interstellar combat mecha stride out from military bunkers all across the planet, boarding spaceships and warships.
Meanwhile.
At the spaceport on the outskirts of Heaven Star, every cargo or subordinate transport ship and star cruiser gives way.
Buzz—
Buzz buzz—
Heaven Star shakes without end.
That is the Ophelia Federation’s highest technology—the Interstellar Shuttle Platform!
The interstellar shuttle that Ah Long once rode also existed thanks to the platform’s power.
“Hundreds of years?”
“Or has it been over a thousand?”
“The Interstellar Shuttle Platform of Heaven Star is about to activate again…”
On the planet, countless people feel the tremors of earth and sky, waves of shock surging within their hearts.
Even though Venicca’s declaration already made it clear—
All fortress warships of Heaven Star will venture out into deep space, headed toward a future brighter than the central star.
But…
People still underestimated the scale of Venicca’s move, and her absolute resolve.
This can’t even be called an “expedition” anymore.
This is simply…
The entire nest moves out, leaving behind even the crystals!
At this moment.
Curiosity rises thick and fast in countless minds.
This “future brighter than the central star”—just how bright is it?
No one knows.
Some choose to trust Venicca and board the fortress warships.
Some choose to stay on Heaven Star, refusing to join the so-called expedition.
As for Venicca—
She stands at the utmost heights of the planet, in deep space, her gaze piercing through the atmosphere, taking everyone’s reactions in completely.
“Only warriors loyal enough are worthy of following my Lord.”
“As for the rest…”
Venicca’s eyelids lower slightly, judgment already made in her heart.
Clearly.
Such judgment is unreasonable, completely illogical—after all, countless subordinates of Heaven Star have no idea Yu Jin even exists, nor the power he possesses.
But…
Truly fervent and devout Venicca obviously doesn’t care about reason or logic right now.
Of course.
As the planet’s highest governor,
she has prepared for this day for a long time.
The subordinates of Heaven Star are, after all, living people, each with their own desires and emotions; no one can guarantee loyalty.
But mecha—unmanned combat mecha—are crafted line by line in code.
Right now,
the countless mecha aboard the warships and spaceships, built with all resources Venicca could muster, are her true main force in following Yu Jin.
The first line of code for these mecha: loyalty!
Loyalty not to Venicca Riel, but to the Lord, Yu Jin!
BOOM—
BOOOM—!
The tremors of Heaven Star last for half a day.
After half a day—
The warships and spaceships outside the planet, countless in number, become streaks of light and disappear into the depths of the void.
“My Lord…”
“Venicca is coming…”
…
…
“Hm?”
“Why does it feel like someone’s talking about me?”
Rock Star Realm, Gangval Star.
On the Promoter Plaza in the southern Northern Hemisphere, Yu Jin looks upon the sea of people ahead, muttering to himself.
A moment ago,
Yu Jin, elevated from the Drake-3 Star System Server, was teleported here from the starry sky.
In a short period,
Yu Jin has gained a rough understanding of this planet and his current situation.
First,
Rock Star Realm belongs to the Ophelia Federation.
It’s just that, among the dozens of Star Realms under Federation control, this one is the poorest in resources, and sits at the outermost fringes.
Gangval Star, meanwhile, is at the very periphery of Rock Star Realm.
“To summarize…”
“A trash planet in the trash Star Realm?”
“Trash among trash…”
Thinking this, Yu Jin can’t help but sigh.
He’d been curious before, wondering which Federation Star Realm he’d be sent to, if maybe he’d end up in the Central Star Realm, perhaps even run into Athena there.
But now?
The facts spell it out for Yu Jin in three big letters: Dream on!
Next,
The information Yu Jin has is—
Rock Star Realm is one of the realms bordering the Low-dimensional Star System Wasteland Server.
Through countless ages, promoters from the Star System Wasteland are often teleported into this realm.
Gangval Star is right now specifically used to accommodate and receive promoters.
At the moment,
The plaza where Yu Jin stands stretches out of sight.
On the plaza, countless figures move to and fro.
Among them—
Some, like Yu Jin, look around curiously or whisper quietly.
Others have faces bearing a faint, almost imperceptible arrogance, coldly sizing up the many players on the plaza.
“A wave of newbies again today.”
“Doesn’t seem like a big batch?”
“Probably around ten million…”
Thanks to the terrifying Perception at Tier Eleven Limitless, Yu Jin easily captures every voice across the plaza, digesting it effortlessly.
What he’s learned so far comes from this very method.
“Oi!”
“Yeah, you!”
“What are you staring at?”
Suddenly,
A shout interrupts Yu Jin’s thoughts.
He snaps back from “Ears Everywhere,” looking ahead.
“Someone picking a fight?”
“Tch—”
“Just promoted and I’ve already got braindead trash picking on me?”
“Even a cheat like me can’t escape such cliché drama?”
Yu Jin’s expression turns odd as he looks over, only to realize…
The one being picked on isn’t himself.
“Oi!”
Another sneering shout.
Not far ahead, a tall young man is surrounded by a group.
These people wear special combat armor, with a half-moon emblem etched on their chests—the mark of the Ophelia Federation.
“Official staff?”
“Federation personnel?”
Yu Jin raises his brow slightly.
“Kid!”
“I heard…”
“You want to buy Federation citizenship right now?”
“And you’d like at least V-Class, preferably IV-Class citizen status?”
Speaking is the tall squad leader, his mecha reflecting a faint silver glow.
But.
His tone, especially when mentioning “V-Class Citizen” and “IV-Class Citizen,” carries a distinct note of ridicule.
“Yes!”
The surrounded youth is also a newly promoted player.
He faces the Federation officials with calm composure, neither servile nor overbearing.
“Haha.”
“Hahahaha!”
The officials’ response is a burst of mocking laughter.
“Kid!”
“You really think V-Class Citizen, IV-Class Citizen are cabbages on the street, buyable at will?”
“What the hell are you thinking!”
The squad leader laughs loudly, removing his silver mecha mask.
He gives the youth an up-and-down glance.
“How much money you got?”
He asks.
“Money?”
“You must mean Wasteland Source Points?”
“I have…”
The youth stops halfway.
“How much money I have doesn’t really relate to buying citizenship, does it?”
“Maybe you should tell me how much I need first.”
Clearly.
The youth remains rational and calm.
The squad leader is mildly surprised.
“You’ve actually got a brain.”
He nods, then shakes his head.
He strides right up to the youth.
“You don’t have enough Source Points, kid.”
“What you need to do now…”
“Is find a job first on this planet, survive.”
“In five or ten years, maybe twenty or thirty, you’ll have saved enough Source Points to buy a real V-Class Citizen ID.”
“With V-Class citizenship, you’re qualified to leave Gangval Star, even Rock Star Realm, and head to other Federation realms and planets.”
“Central Star Realm, though—V-Class won’t even get you through the door…”
The squad leader’s tone drops its earlier sarcasm,
turning instead sincere.
His voice is low, even harnessing his own Attribute Energy, but still fails to elude Yu Jin’s notice.
“Huh?”
Yu Jin is a bit surprised.
He hadn’t expected this would-be villain wasn’t a werewolf…
“Oi!”
“Scram!”
“You don’t have enough money, not even close!”
The squad leader suddenly cranks up his tone, turning sneering again.
The newly promoted youth now looks a little lost…
And on the plaza—
Not far from both the youth and Yu Jin,
The crowd, once gleaming with predatory eyes, exchange glances, shake their heads, shift their gaze away from the youth, and start hunting for new prey…
