Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 356 - 88: Dawn Coin
“Dawn Coin?”
“A currency that can be used for buying and selling?”
Just as Zhou Hao had left the square and was boarding a public flying bus, heading along the Erxian Bridge aerial overpass to the residence allocated on Chenghua Avenue by the fortress.
The inner ring of the fortress.
Not far from the Tower of the Sky.
Inside a spacious large apartment of more than 300 square meters.
Ye Wentian and his wife were full of curiosity, tugging at their son Ye Ye and peppering him with questions.
A moment earlier.
Thanks to the privileges of Ye Ye’s identity as a Commander, Ye Wentian and his wife did not have to queue for a long time in the square, but instead used the priority passage to complete their citizen registration and receive citizen benefits.
At this moment.
On the personal information panels in front of the couple.
Lines of text were floating into view.
And as they stared at the “Wealth” column showing “100000” Dawn Coins each, they couldn’t hide the smiles on their faces.
Dawn Coin, the universal currency of Dawn Fortress!
In other words…
That’s money!
And each of them had received a full 100,000 coins as part of their benefits!
100,000 Dawn Coins doesn’t look like that much.
But…
“The daily wage for ordinary jobs is usually only 100–200 Dawn Coins.”
“The truly high-income jobs in the fortress, apart from civil servants in official institutions inside the Tower of the Sky, are the soldiers and Commanders on the various Fortress Battleships.”
“Overall—”
“The 200,000 you two just got is equivalent to one or two years of income for an ordinary subordinate working inside the fortress!”
After hearing these few sentences from their son.
The smiles on Ye Wentian and his wife’s faces grew even brighter.
“Hey…”
“By the way, this place you’ve got is pretty big, and it’s close to the fortress center.”
“Must’ve cost a lot, right?”
As a mother, Wang Xue let her gaze roam around the large apartment for a long time, then suddenly asked.
When Ye Wentian heard this, he also became interested and looked at Ye Ye curiously.
Ye Ye said nothing.
At his side, Laya bit her lip and spoke softly:
“This apartment…”
“At market price…”
“Nine… more than nine million…”
Ye Wentian and his wife froze the moment they heard that.
“H-how much?”
Ye Wentian even thought he’d misheard, staring wide-eyed as he asked again.
“Nine million, close to ten million.”
Ye Ye let out a light sigh and gave a confirming answer.
This time.
Ye Wentian and his wife were completely stunned.
In an instant.
They suddenly felt that the 100,000 Dawn Coins in each of their accounts no longer seemed so appealing.
For them, who came from Blue Star and were born and raised in the countryside.
Although they had only just arrived at Dawn Fortress today, when they saw the high-rises and residential complexes inside the fortress, a seed named “settle down and buy a home” naturally sprouted in their hearts.
But now?
“Cough, cough—”
After brooding in silence for a long time, Ye Wentian suddenly cleared his throat twice.
He looked at his son Ye Ye, his tone carrying a bit of awkwardness:
“So, uh…”
“Are they still recruiting Fort Commanders?”
“Do you think…”
“Your old man could maybe get a Commander job?”
As soon as he said this.
It was Ye Ye and Laya who were stunned instead.
After quite a while.
Ye Ye finally reacted—
his old man thought this apartment was something he, as a Commander, had spent a fortune to buy!
Although…
The salary of a Super Large Fortress Commander is indeed astronomical.
But…
He hadn’t even been in office for a month yet, and hadn’t received his first paycheck.
What’s more—
“This apartment was bestowed on me by the Lord.”
Ye Ye took a deep breath, led his parents to sit down in the living room, and began to explain, word by word.
After a long time.
Ye Wentian and his wife’s expressions were complicated.
Back on Blue Star, they had already heard Ye Ye mention how he had had the Luck to “save” Yu Jin, who at the time had not yet become the Dawn City Lord.
They hadn’t expected…
That incident back then would still be echoing to this day.
Not only was this 300-square-meter apartment they were in given because of that, Ye Ye’s current identity as a Super Large Fortress Commander was also personally bestowed by Yu Jin by name.
“Such a great favor…”
“As his parents, we must thank him in person!”
Ye Wentian’s attitude was firm.
Wang Xue nodded repeatedly like a bobblehead.
It was just that…
Ye Ye and Laya exchanged a glance, then looked through the large floor-to-ceiling windows at the towering Tower of the Sky at the fortress center.
“What is it?”
Bewildered, the couple followed their gaze.
After quite a while.
Ye Ye finally sighed lightly, a wry smile on his face.
“Thank him in person…”
“I want that too.”
“It’s just that the Lord has already become very, very rarely seen in public.”
“He didn’t even show up last time when the five thousand fortresses were deployed…”
“As things stand now.”
“I’m afraid only those who make truly constructive contributions to Dawn Fortress, or earn colossal military merits, have a chance to see that supreme Lord!”
At this point, Ye Ye paused slightly.
Then he had his parents bring up their personal information panels again and took the opportunity to introduce the specific citizen Levels and contribution system of Dawn Fortress.
“Contribution is extremely important!”
“Contribution represents your loyalty to the Lord!”
“Especially for our family…”
“Striving to raise our contribution is the only, and also the best, way to repay the Lord’s kindness!”
…
…
Dawn Fortress.
When tens of millions of players from Morning Star arrived at the fortress by Spaceship.
Boom—
Rumble—!
Across the various large and small spaceports of the Ring of the Sky.
Countless Warships, Spaceships, and even Unmanned Mechas were roaring past through the Starry Sky in the opposite direction, heading toward Morning Star.
“By order of the Lord—”
“From this day forward, and for the next few months.”
“All subordinates of the fortress may temporarily relocate to Morning Star and Dawn City!”
For the hundreds of millions of subordinates currently in Dawn Fortress.
