Wasteland's Only King-Chapter 36: Team Building

[You have received the gaze of a High-dimensional Civilization and been granted the title of ’Purification Envoy’!]

[Purification Envoy——]

[Type: Title]

[Effect: After equipping this title, you can purify any Pollution Source of a lower Tier than yourself, and are immune to attacks from Mutant Beasts/Infected Bodies of a lower Tier!]

[Hint——]

[Your reputation has greatly increased!]

[Keep boosting your reputation to unlock the ’Reputation’ module ahead of schedule!]

"Environmental Ambassador equals Purification Envoy?"

"The big boss turned into a High-dimensional Civilization?"

"Is that even possible?"

Yu Jin was seriously surprised.

He hadn’t expected that becoming ’Environmental Ambassador’ would actually trigger a system reward.

"Definitely a nice surprise."

Yu Jin muttered to himself.

Compared to the achievements he’d gotten before, the effect of this ’Purification Envoy’ title was just insane.

Never mind the whole ’purify Pollution Source’ bit, just ’immune to attacks from Mutant Beasts/Infected Bodies of a lower Tier’ was enough to look absolutely busted.

"Old Yu!"

"Why are you spacing out?"

Tang Yunxuan’s voice pulled Yu Jin back to reality.

By now, the event had ended for a while. Most of the crowd and media on both riverbanks had pretty much dispersed.

Only the hundred Environmental Protection Club members were all standing in front of Yu Jin.

Seeing this, Yu Jin dropped the thought of checking his reward info any further.

In the plan, cleaning the sewage river was just the first project for today’s event.

After all the dirty, tiring work, next up was the college students’ favorite club team-building activity.

And that would also trigger the system’s ’Territory’ module reward.

No joke, Yu Jin was serious about milking all the benefits!

"Everything set up?"

Yu Jin looked at Tang Yunxuan.

"You bet!"

Tang Yunxuan thumped his chest and pointed at the parking lot not far away.

There, two double-decker buses were quietly parked.

The bus body sported the eye-catching logo of ’Celestial Lake Vacation Resort’.

...

...

The two buses sped along the highway in a tidy convoy.

Celestial Lake Vacation Resort wasn’t in Jiang City, but in neighboring Li City. The trip wasn’t long; it only took an hour by highway.

Right now,

The mood on the bus was booming among the Environmental Protection Club members.

Even though everyone was exhausted, their faces shone with excitement and anticipation.

They’d known about the team-building activity, but Vice President Tang kept the destination mysterious and said it was a secret.

Not until right before departure did they learn they were headed to ’Celestial Lake Vacation Resort’!

That place was famous, rumored to have every facility imaginable, plus you could soak in natural hot springs!

"President, you’re awesome!"

"Environmental Protection Club, loyalty!"

Inside the bus, the members shouted in unison.

Yu Jin didn’t respond, sitting by the window at the very back row.

His attention was completely focused on the translucent panel in front of him.

[With the body of an ant, you led thousands of Subordinates to purify the ’Tier Seven Pollution Source—River of Death’!]

[Purification Progress: 100%!]

[Such achievement is unprecedented and resounds across the Wasteland!]

[You have gained Wasteland Points: 300,000!]

[You have gained Resources: Tier Six Energy Crystal*5!]

[You have gained Resources: Attribute Activation Stone*3!]

[You have gained Ability: Death Lv1]

[Evaluation: An extremely terrifying ability, can ignore distance and inflict the ’Death’ effect on enemies not higher Tier than yourself.]

[Death Effect: Physical disappearance, soul Annihilation.]

[Hint: To use this ability, you must simultaneously activate both ’Life’ and ’Cause and Effect’ Attributes.]

...

[You purified the ’Tier Seven Pollution Source—River of Death’ and mobilized thousands of Subordinates, triggering a ’Territory’ module reward!] 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

[You have received Wasteland Points: 100,000]

[You have obtained Resources: Tier Five Energy Crystal*10]

[You have gained Ability: Majesty Lv1]

[Evaluation: Activating this ability greatly increases your Majesty as City Lord, boosting Subordinates’ obedience to your commands.]

[Hint: This ability does not require Attribute activation, but can only be used with ’City Lord’ identity.]

...

A dazzling array of rewards was making Yu Jin’s eyes spin.

Among them,

The one Yu Jin stared at longest was that ability called ’Death Lv1’.

Ignore distance and inflict Death effect!

That’s even more OP than the legendary Death Note...

The only downside: while the ability is totally busted, the Attribute requirement is sky-high.

Life and Cause and Effect, dual Attributes!

Honestly, Yu Jin figured even with his cheats, collecting them all sounded tough!

"The good news is, the reward includes three Attribute Activation Stones."

"The bad news—according to the system, the more Attributes you own, the lower the success rate of using an Activation Stone."

"So..."

"Trying to activate three Attributes with three stones is basically impossible."

"If luck’s good, maybe one or two hits, bad luck, maybe none."

"As for five Tier Six Energy Crystals, ten Tier Five Energy Crystals..."

"Unless something unexpected happens, should be enough to promote me to Tier Six Evolver—and even Tier Seven is within sight!"

Yu Jin’s grin was radiant.

Also,

This round of rewards included a total of 400,000 Wasteland Points.

Adding in Yu Jin’s previous 500,000 Points, his total was now a massive 900,000, closing in on a million.

But Yu Jin wasn’t planning to hoard up to a million.

Rather than cosplaying Hamster King, he preferred spending it when it needed spending.

Yu Jin willed the Points Mall open.

[Wasteland Points – 200,000]

[You have obtained Resources: A legacy left by a certain Tier Six Powerful Being]

[Evaluation: Opening it may grant resources, abilities, Attributes, memories from the Powerful Being’s lifetime... but you might also get nothing.]

[Hint: Can only be opened after reaching Tier Six.]

[Status: Cannot open]

[Current Wasteland Points: 700,500]

Yu Jin was only Tier Five right now.

But he wasn’t worried—he was just waiting for the team-building to end, then find a quiet spot to burn crystals and break through to Tier Six!

Then, another round of mystery box rewards!

"Honestly, way too many rewards—all coming one after another, kinda going numb already."

"Is this what happy troubles feel like?"

Yu Jin gazed out the window, sighing.

He even...

Began considering heading to the Wasteland World, to spar with real Mutant Beasts.

"No, can’t get cocky yet!"

Yu Jin quickly shook his head, reminding himself.

Tier Five is still too weak—not nearly safe enough.

So far, the system still describes him as ’the body of an ant’.

"No clue when is going to invade, so I gotta hurry up, keep evolving, keep getting stronger!"

Yu Jin drew a deep breath, counseling himself.

His mood—which had been a bit restless thanks to all those rewards—slowly calmed with that breath.

Time passed quickly.

The bus gradually slowed down.

The scenery outside shifted from monotonous highway to a vacation estate full of log cabins.

"Old Yu, we’re here, here!"

Tang Yunxuan, sitting in the row ahead of Yu Jin, stood up, face getting super close and smiling even brighter than a blooming chrysanthemum.

"You’re Vice President and you’re more excited for this team-building than the other members?"

Yu Jin opened his eyes from a nap, looking unimpressed.

Tang Yunxuan just chuckled, staying quiet.

When the bus came to a full stop, he glanced around, then leaned close to Yu Jin, whispering:

"Old Yu, this team-building is gonna cost a lot!"

"Have you calculated it? For a hundred people, even the bare minimum is at least 100,000 RMB..."

Yesterday, when Yu Jin told him to book, he’d already transferred a 20,000 deposit.

Still...

Tang Yunxuan knew Yu Jin’s financial situation—he wasn’t from some rich family, so coughing up 100K in one go wasn’t realistic.

"If we’re going AA, shouldn’t we give a heads-up to all the freshmen?"

"Otherwise, when it’s time to pay, the mood might turn sour, people might gossip..."

This last bit, Tang Yunxuan said extra loud to make sure Yin Yao, sitting right next to Yu Jin, could hear.

And as expected, Yin Yao’s Liu Mei twitched slightly.

She looked at Yu Jin—as if just one nod from him, any money problem would disappear immediately.

But Yu Jin didn’t return her gaze.

No way, did they really think he was some sugar baby?

"Who told you I was planning to split the bill?"

Yu Jin shook his head, sounding serious.

If he actually went AA, how would he squeeze rewards from this adorable club group, or milk the system?

For today’s team-building,

Yu Jin had specially gone to Zhou Dasheng before the Environmental Protection Club activities in the morning to sell off his second gold brick!

Now his bank card was loaded with a chilly 1.3 million...
