Chapter 106: Chapter 95: Even Among Tier Nine, There Is Still a Gap! Am I Actually the Value Monster? (3/3, Please Vote for Monthly Pass)

City Lord’s Mansion core area.

On the super-luxury ten-meter bed.

Smack—

Yu Jin raised his hand and killed the poor mosquito in the air.

As for Naiya, she was still blankly hugging her right arm where she’d been bitten, her face full of confusion.

She’s Tier Eight Limit, so how could she get bitten by a Tier One mutant mosquito...?

Is this right?

Yu Jin glanced at Naiya, probably guessing what she was thinking, shook his head, and didn’t bother explaining.

To be honest.

Cause and Effect is way too complicated.

For example—

Yu Jin had just awakened the ’Cause and Effect’ attribute, then used ’reverse cause and effect’, which led to the scene of ’mosquito biting Naiya’.

But...

The fact that ’mosquito bit Naiya’ happened was actually Yu Jin’s spontaneous idea, thinking he’d test out his ability.

And he tested the ability because he’d awakened the ’Cause and Effect’ attribute.

...

Cause and Effect nested, intertwining mutually.

This little experiment really let Yu Jin witness the terror of ’Cause and Effect’.

"This ability really needs to be used carefully..."

"Reversing cause and effect might change not only the things I see in front of me, but also others I can’t see."

Yu Jin looked at the mosquito’s corpse, his heart tensing slightly.

No need to mention anything else.

Just the two abilities ’absolute concealment’ and ’absolute defense break’ make my own cheating feel shameless.

"Still, even though this ability can’t be abused, it really did come at the right time."

Yu Jin’s gaze fell on one of the abilities under his Cause and Effect attribute.

[Tier Five Cause and Effect Attribute Ability: Benefit Link Lv1]

[Active Effect: Apply ’Causal Chain’ to two or more targets, so they share positive benefits (the greater the Tier Difference, the lower the percentage)]

It’s been nearly five days since crossing into the Wasteland, three spent unconscious, and just under two awake.

During this time, Yu Jin has periodically used his ’Perception’ ability to sense the status of Old Yu and others.

Good news is, they’re all safe.

Bad news, they’re all very far.

Especially Yu Chen—so far that Yu Jin even wonders if he’s on A3 Planet at all.

Foster mother Cao Fang probably didn’t cross, she’s the farthest away, so far she’s extremely blurry, Yu Jin’s sensing is very weak.

Of Old Yu and Cao Fang, Yu Jin worries about them the most.

[Current maximum Causal Chain number: 2]

While Cause and Effect attribute is OP, its limitations are also significant.

Yu Jin barely hesitated, directly gave his two available ’slots’ to Old Yu and Cao Fang.

Lucky younger brother Yu Chen has the Luck attribute, so shouldn’t have major problems in the short term.

Old Cui, Yu Fei and others benefited from the early beta, and are already awakened Evolvers, so they’re likely to find their footing.

[Causal Chain binding in progress...]

[Binding target: Yu Jin & Yu Limin]

[Binding target: Yu Jin & Cao Fang]

[Causal Chain ability: Benefit Link Lv1]

[Effect: When your own Value, Ability... increases, Yu Limin and Cao Fang can synchronously receive part of the increase]

[Due to large Tier Difference, current sync increase ratio: 0.1%]

"..."

Yu Jin stared at the eye-watering 0.1%, speechless.

This ratio...

Not sure if it’ll actually help Old Yu and Cao Fang?

"If only I could see my own Value—"

Yu Jin suddenly froze.

Value?

Don’t I have an attribute called ’Value’?

On Blue Star, Yu Jin used this attribute a lot.

But after crossing to the Wasteland, so much information came at him, he hadn’t had time to use it.

"Maybe, once it’s not suppressed in the Wasteland, Value attribute abilities will truly show?"

Yu Jin boldly speculated.

Bear in mind, ’Value’ is so far, in his eight attributes, the only one with especially just a single ability.

It’s also the only one Brother Tongzi labeled as ’Special Attribute’.

Not even the OP Cause and Effect attribute got that distinction.

Buzz—

Yu Jin activated the ’Value’ attribute and looked at Naiya.

In an instant.

Yu Jin’s heart settled.

"It’s really true!"

At this moment.

In front of his eyes, the digits above Naiya’s head were no longer things like ’36D’ or ’150cm’.

Instead, it was—

[Naiya]

[Tier: Tier Eight Limit]

[Life Coefficient: 99999]

[Energy Coefficient: 99999]

[Attack Coefficient: 99999]

[Defense Coefficient: 99999]

[Pollution Coefficient: 99.99%]

[Comprehensive Coefficient: 99999] 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Good Lord.

A string of ’99999’ left Yu Jin stunned.

"Naiya is Tier Eight Limit, only a step away from Tier Nine..."

"Maybe because of pollution?"

"She could keep taking crystals to improve, but pollution would rise at the same time."

"If pollution maxes out, she’d fall from human to Infected Body."

Yu Jin recalled the file Yin Shanhai gave him, which recorded these details.

"So..."

"The Tier Nine coefficient cap should be one hundred thousand."

Yu Jin moved his thoughts.

He looked down at himself.

Soon, a series of digits appeared.

[Yu Jin]

[Tier: Tier Nine]

[Life Coefficient: 800,000]

[Energy Coefficient: 800,000]

[Attack Coefficient: 800,000]

[Defense Coefficient: 800,000]

[Pollution Coefficient: 0%]

[Comprehensive Coefficient: 800,000]

Yu Jin figured his Value might be pretty high, but didn’t expect even the units had switched to ’ten thousand’.

"After taking crystals, I feel I’m not far from Tier Ten."

"So..."

"Tier Ten’s coefficient cap should be a million?"

"Looks like the Tier Difference in coefficients gets bigger as you go up?"

At this point.

Yu Jin activated his ’Light Touch’ ability.

His gaze instantly spread throughout every corner of Dawn City.

He saw...

You Qingyue was fading, wait, that’s not right.

He saw...

The Value of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three Evolvers.

Quickly.

Yu Jin reached an approximate conclusion.

Tier Coefficients—

Tier One: 0–10

Tier Two: 10–50

Tier Three: 50–100

Tier Four: 100–500

Tier Five: 500–1000

Tier Six: ...

Tier Seven: ...

Tier Eight: 10,000–100,000

Tier Nine: 100,000–1,000,000

Since there are no Tier Six or Tier Seven Evolvers in Dawn City currently, Yu Jin wasn’t certain about the ranges for these tiers.

"So I’m really this strong?"

Now, Yu Jin had a much clearer sense of his ’800,000’ Value.

At the same time.

He mentally calculated—

Once he breaks through to Tier Ten, his Value will go from ’800,000’ to ’1,000,000’, a gain of 200,000.

200,000 * 0.1% = 200.

A 200 coefficient falls in the 100–500 range, so basically...

"Tier Four Evolver?"

"If I break through to Tier Ten, foster parents can be raised to Tier Four Evolvers?"

For a moment, Yu Jin felt a lot more at ease inside.

Tier Four Evolver, whether on Blue Star or in the Wasteland, as long as you don’t act recklessly, you can temporarily guarantee personal safety.

Crunch—!

Yu Jin said nothing, and started taking crystals.

On the big bed.

Naiya saw this, and besides her usual shock, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what.

Yu Jin didn’t come to her for combat tonight, which was good news.

She hadn’t fully prepared for that kind of fight, and, honestly, wasn’t too skilled at it...

"Maybe I should catch up on relevant Knowledge in advance?"

Naiya thought.

"For the future of Moore Star civilization..."

"It’s all worth it, even if the price is Naiya herself."

Naiya whispered to herself, then sat cross-legged on the massive bed, beginning to use attribute energy to suppress her own pollution.

Her pollution was already very, very high, only a thin line from becoming an Infected Body.

On the Wasteland, this is quite common.

Or in other words.

As far as Naiya knows, any named Tier Eight Extreme Evolver on A3 Planet has pollution higher than 99%.

On A3 Planet.

The real strongest are never Tier Eight Extreme City Lords like Naiya.

But rather, outside the Wasteland Wilderness, during the countless ages past, the ones who attempted to break through to Tier Nine but maxed pollution and fell—Tier Nine Infected Bodies.

"If it’s Yu Jin..."

"Maybe he’ll have a chance to defeat those monsters."

...

...

A369 Area.

Mang City.

This Refuge City’s scale is noticeably much bigger than Dawn City.

It’s deep night right now.

But inside Refuge City, the lights are bright—even electric lights.

On the Wasteland where technology withers, having electric lights shows the Refuge City’s foundation.

At this time.

Inside a thatched hut on the Outer City street.

Yu Limin stared at the pitch black night sky, dazed.

"Ah Fang, Xiaojin, Xiaochen..."

"I wonder if you all are doing okay?"

Crossing over to the Wasteland World, it’s now been five days.

These five days, Yu Limin’s experience has been pretty bizarre.

Day one, he appeared in Mang City—before the crossing, he’d listened to Yu Chen’s instructions, arrived at the nearest Refuge City in advance, and logged out there.

Back then.

Around Mang City, thousands of refugees like Yu Limin from Blue Star appeared.

They squeezed together, lining up to get into the city.

Mang City’s City Lord is a powerful Tier Seven Evolver.

Mang City also rules dozens of nearby Refuge Cities.

In Mang City, there isn’t the ’Slave Miner’ situation like in White Rock City.

On the contrary, refugees here can work in exchange for water and food.

Sweeping streets, maintaining roads, mining outside, transporting beast meat, even chef jobs...

After entering the city, Yu Limin originally planned to apply for a chef job.

But just as he set foot inside, three buzz-cut young men approached him.

"Uncle Yu!"

Yu Limin was confused, but quickly recognized one of them as the young man who protected his family at Old Yu’s Noodle House before the crossing.

After that...

Yu Limin didn’t go anywhere, just stayed in the hut every day.

The three young men each found jobs transporting beast meat in Mang City—tough work, but enough to earn water and food.

So, Yu Limin ended up being ’sponsored’ by the three youth.

"Sigh—"

Thinking of this, Yu Limin sighed.

Besides missing his family, he actually wanted to go outside the city and see what the Wasteland really looked like...

Though over fifty, Old Yu’s heart hasn’t aged.

Thirty years east, thirty years west, never underestimate the old and poor.

Just...

To awaken, you need ’Crystal’, which is very precious.

The three youth working for a month might earn one or two, but Old Yu couldn’t let them do that for his sake.

He had basic moral integrity.

The three youth taking care of him like this already left Old Yu feeling uneasy.

"If only it could be like on TV..."

"A fortuitous encounter from heaven, one leap to ascension."

Old Yu looked at the night sky and sighed.

Just after saying that—

"Huh?"

Old Yu suddenly froze, feeling...

His body suddenly started heating up.

"Ah?"

"Ah—!"

Old Yu cried out in fear.

Outside the hut, the three youth keeping watch heard him, jumped up, and rushed in.

"I—I feel like I’m burning up!"

"Ah, so numb!"

"Feels like touching an electrical wire!"

Old Yu yelled, running around.

The three youth, anxious, grabbed Old Yu and inspected him, worried he’d have an accident.

This is Yu Jin’s foster father!

The mission to care for him was personally assigned by Yin Shanhai!

Suddenly.

Crackle—!

The three youth hadn’t even touched Yu Limin.

He suddenly erupted with dazzling thunder light!

At the same time.

His aura was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In an instant.

The three youth were rooted to the spot.

Crackle—!

Thunder light flashed continuously, Old Yu bathed in it.

In just a short while.

Mang City’s security squad heard the commotion and rushed over.

The leader of the squad is a Tier Four Evolver.

When he saw Yu Limin, his eyes widened instantly.

"F-Fourth Tier?!"

"And Thunder Attribute?!"
