Wasteland's Only King-Chapter 127 - 115: Wasteland Internal Testing Helmets Reappear on Blue Star!

Chapter 127: Chapter 115: Wasteland Internal Testing Helmets Reappear on Blue Star!

Yu Jin carefully finished reading the reward information.

Whether it’s an orphan or not is another matter, but that ’Tier Twelve’ Evolver level alone makes this loot box absolutely not a bad pull.

Yu Jin himself is only just barely Tier Eleven at the moment.

"Claim reward!"

Yu Jin silently recited in his heart.

[You have claimed the reward: The orphan of a certain Tier Eleven powerful being]

[Healing Carol Yalikosis...]

[The dying Carol is grateful to you for giving her a new life!]

[Due to great distance and the restrictions of A3 Planet’s rules, Carol cannot arrive in your environment!]

[Executing backup plan——]

[Carol is teleported to your S-680 Micro Interstellar Spaceship!]

[Carol is actively learning about the interstellar spaceship!]

[Carol discovers the spaceship has lost its navigation because you have not arrived——]

[Carol sends you a request——]

[She wishes to become your spaceship’s temporary commander, help you find uninhabited planets to conquer, thus earning you Source Points and improving your ranking in the Star System Wasteland!]

"..."

Yu Jin fell into deep thought.

This scene feels strangely familiar.

A Carol. A Neil.

No joke, both their names end with ’el.’

"Smart move!"

"Didn’t expect an extra surprise?"

"I haven’t even promoted to the Star System Wasteland, but I can start earning Source Points and improving my rank early?"

"Is this an auto-play mod?"

Yu Jin was in a great mood.

Although, both Carol and the S-680 Spaceship failed to be directly delivered to A3 Planet.

But!

Judging by Carol’s dual attributes, ’War’ and ’Star,’ plus the special talent ’Inspiration.’

And referencing her commander experience at the Interstellar Refuge Fortress.

This is totally a future female general!

Even after promotion to Star System Wasteland, she’ll definitely be a huge support.

"Eureka really is my lucky star..."

Yu Jin sighed in admiration for the umpteenth time.

"Hope I get more high-level civilization players like this."

Yu Jin hoped A3 Planet’s rules would give him another boost.

One second, two, three.

Sadly.

No system prompt about ’detected A3 Planet rule fluctuations.’

"It can’t just be over like this, right?"

"Since it’s monitoring cheating players, the server should stick to it, never give up."

"Come on, keep coming, the more the better!"

"I’m here to fleece high-level civilization players!"

Yu Jin muttered, staring at the panel in front of him.

"Continue!"

Swoosh——

A radiant crystal appeared in Yu Jin’s hand.

Tier Twelve Energy Crystal!

Just one piece, but for Yu Jin, who’s only Tier Eleven, this is definitely more than enough!

"Again!"

This time.

Yu Jin claimed a reward from the Wasteland game.

Civilization Source Points: 100 points.

Title: Blue Star Civilization Pioneer.

[Reward has been delivered!]

Yu Jin checked, saw nothing much changed.

The only thing was, two new lines appeared on his personal info panel——

[Civilization Source Points: 100]

[Prompt: Detected you already possess the ’Pioneer’ title, once you accumulate 10,000 Civilization Source Points, you can unlock civilization privilege functions early]

These two rewards might be the biggest gains from this round.

Civilization privileges—Yu Jin hadn’t understood them before.

But after hearing Yu Fei’s explanation about Eureka and Salsa Star’s civilization, he got a basic idea.

The so-called civilization privilege is basically a ’privilege’ inside the Wasteland game.

Take Salsa, a Level II civilization——

From age 7, all Salsa Star People get a helmet.

From age 7, they start the ’nine-year mandatory internal testing.’

During this time, they grind monsters, level up, and accumulate experience on various wasteland planets.

This means that before traveling for real, they already reach Tier Nine Evolver starting level, as long as they took the internal testing somewhat seriously.

Their migration starting point is directly the ’Star System Wasteland.’

Blue Star?

The starting point for migration is only the A3 Wasteland Planet; to go to the higher Star System Wasteland, you must place in the planet’s top ten to qualify.

The difference speaks for itself.

On top of that.

Salsa Star People, when migrating at age 20, have the opportunity for ’free choice.’

This is totally unimaginable for countless people from Blue Star.

Not to mention...

They can even spend money before crossing over.

The S-680 Micro Interstellar Spaceship Yu Jin plundered from Eureka was purchased with 10 billion Wasteland Points in advance.

"If Yu Fei’s guess is right..."

"Even Level I and Level II civilizations can’t stop the pollution from arriving..."

"That means the Oumuamua crisis is far from over."

"Not just the remaining 11% pollution source, but..."

"More Oumuamuas?"

Thinking of this,

Yu Jin felt a chill cloud over his heart.

Of course.

There’s also an optimistic explanation.

That is——

Extraordinary abilities are suppressed outside the Wasteland game server.

Back on Blue Star, Yu Jin was a Tier Nine Evolver, but could only use 1% of his power.

Salsa, as a Level II civilization, is more advanced than Blue Star; they can start testing young.

But...

According to Eureka’s memories, Salsa Star People couldn’t bring ’extraordinary powers’ back to reality.

Their internal testing situation was much like Brother Gang and others on Blue Star.

They had tiers and attributes, but they were sealed, unusable.

If you look at it this way, maybe Blue Star, thanks to his ’early max level’ anomaly, really can become the one civilization spared from ’pollution arrival.’

But...

Yu Jin’s intuition told him the truth wouldn’t be that simple.

This optimistic possibility exists, but odds are slim...

After sorting his thoughts, Yu Jin took a deep breath.

"If there really are more Oumuamuas, civilization privileges will be even more important."

"After all, even if Dawn City reaches Level 6, and Coordinate Imprint achieves Level 9 max, it still might not be able to teleport the remaining billions from Blue Star to A3 Planet."

"A3 Planet rules probably won’t allow that to happen."

"Even if Brother Tongzi pulls his weight, it’ll probably be hard."

Yu Jin’s gaze fell on the translucent panel.

He still had one last reward left to claim.

This reward comes from the Wasteland game itself.

The reward is——

Internal Testing Helmet*10!

"Claim reward!"

Yu Jin’s heart stirred.

[Reward has been delivered!]

The Wasteland game responded.

"?"

Yu Jin stared at the empty space before him, a bit stunned.

"Where did it go?"

[Internal Testing Helmet*10 has been randomly delivered to Blue Star!]

Yu Jin fell into deep thought.

...

...

Blue Star.

September 18, 2025.

Nine days since the ’Great Catastrophe’ arrived.

It was daytime now.

But the sky was gloomy, with an oppressive haze.

Jiangcheng University.

Under the male dorms.

"Hissss—"

A three-colored mutant cat, half as tall as a person and radiating black mist, lowered its body and let out a deep hiss from its throat.

In front of it stood more than a dozen young university students.

In the past days,

It had attacked and killed several timid, fragile two-legged beasts for food.

The meat was kind of tough, but gave it energy to break through to a higher tier.

But...

Today was different.

A figure stood blocking its path.

"Hisss—!"

The three-flower mutant beast issued another warning.

Its instincts told it this two-legged beast was different from the others.

So, it just warned instead of attacking.

At the front of the group,

Tang Yunxuan said nothing, just ushered everyone behind him.

He tensed his body, gripping a... wooden stick in both hands.

Five days ago,

He was trapped in his dorm, and suddenly two semi-transparent crystals dropped out of nowhere.

Thanks to the news broadcast before the crossover, Tang Yunxuan recognized them as Energy Crystals!

Not only that,

He could hear a voice in his mind——

[As a subordinate, you have received resources from Dawn City Lord Yu Jin!]

[You have received: Tier Two Energy Crystal*1]

[You have received: Tier Three Energy Crystal*1]

Tang Yunxuan was stunned.

He didn’t expect Old Yu to be so fierce!

Just three days since crossing over, already a city lord?

Even crazier...

While still on Blue Star, he’d somehow become a subordinate of Yu Jin’s city and could receive ’resources’ across infinite space!

After the shock, Tang Yunxuan calmed down.

He knew using crystals would awaken him as an Evolver.

But...

That’s in the Wasteland game!

No one ever did this in real life!

Tang Yunxuan wasn’t sure if, after using it, he’d blow up just like the novels say—’boom’ and die from body overload.

While hesitating,

A chunk of meat, the size of a basketball, dropped out of nowhere.

His mind informed him it was ’mutated beast meat.’

In the Wasteland game, this was the basic food for refugees.

After that,

Tang Yunxuan hesitated for a long time—should he eat the meat and use the crystal?

He wasn’t someone who dared take risks, always timid.

Before crossing over,

Yu Jin gave him a helmet, but after much struggle, he still didn’t dare put it on.

And now?

Yu Jin, across countless distance, dropped two more rounds of ’airdropping’ onto him.

Tang Yunxuan was touched, but even more annoyed by his own cowardice.

He...

Still didn’t dare.

Even with beast meat and crystals right in front of him, he was scared—too afraid to eat or use them.

But on the second day,

The crystal and beast meat appeared out of nowhere again.

"Old Yu..."

The second airdrop made Tang Yunxuan grit his teeth and decide to take a chance.

Enough is enough, can’t keep chickening out.

Otherwise, he’d really let Old Yu down.

Besides, as time went on, food in their dorm would run out sooner or later.

The mutant stray cats and dogs at Jiang University were getting bigger and stronger.

Students were attacked, some even easily killed by them.

The official rescue team still hadn’t reached Jiang University...

Tang Yunxuan guessed the outside world was total chaos now.

So...

He ate the beast meat and used the crystal.

"Hisss—!"

The sharp hissing from the three-colored mutant cat yanked Tang Yunxuan back to reality.

He took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the wooden stick.

This was his first battle. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t scared.

But...

"With great power comes great responsibility!"

Tang Yunxuan muttered under his breath, psyching himself up.

Swish——!

Facing him,

The three-colored mutant cat lost the last of its patience.

Black mist billowed off its body as it lunged straight at Tang Yunxuan to bite and tear!

Its speed was insane, leaving only blurred afterimages in midair!

"Ah!"

"It’s over!"

The girls behind Tang Yunxuan instantly turned pale.

The guys, holding their own sticks like Tang Yunxuan, were trembling at the knees.

"Hah-say——!"

Tang Yunxuan grimaced, thrusting his stick forward!

In that instant,

The stick’s tip erupted in a whirl of gale...

Meanwhile,

Blue halos radiated from Tang Yunxuan’s body.

"Gale Force!"

He shouted softly.

Charging toward the three-colored mutant cat!

Wind howled all around him, wild and unending.

But just then.

Bang——!

A muffled thud sounded.

Tang Yunxuan and the mutant cat froze mid-motion.

"Damn!"

"What the hell was that!"

Tang Yunxuan cried out, clutching his head.

At the critical moment, his head had been nailed by something heavy!

Behind him,

The dozen university students stood frozen, eyes wide.

They saw clearly...

What struck Tang Yunxuan’s head was a gray helmet that appeared out of thin air!

"Ow, damn—"

Tang Yunxuan’s swearing cut off abruptly as he saw the helmet on the ground.

He recognized it!

This is...

The internal testing helmet from the Wasteland game!
