Wasteland's Only King-Chapter 85 - 83: Logging In, Max Level Account!

Thud—!

Yu Wenbo dropped to his knees.

He kept his head down, not sure if he was bowing to Yu Jin, to the giant turtle, or maybe both.

"Our fellow Blue Star citizens are suffering and being oppressed in White Rock City!"

"Please, Yu Jin and Lord Turtle, give them hope and redemption!"

...

...

Boom—

Rumble—!

On the Wasteland Wilderness.

The giant turtle, a hundred meters long and thirty meters tall, shifted its massive body.

Wherever the turtle passed, dust blew up and the ground quaked.

Yu Jin sat atop Xiaoming’s huge head, Yu Wenbo nervously next to him.

Xiaoming — that’s the name Yu Jin gave the turtle, for easy reference.

A moment earlier.

After thinking it over, Yu Jin agreed to Yu Wenbo’s request.

Now, the duo and the turtle were heading straight toward White Rock Sanctuary City.

According to the map info in his memory—

His current location wasn’t far from Dawn City, around two hundred kilometers away.

And White Rock City just happened to be on the route to Dawn City.

Since they were already here, with compatriots in trouble and all, and the destination was on the way, Yu Jin wouldn’t just sit back and watch them perish.

Of course.

That was also based on the fact that Yu Jin wasn’t pressed for time at the moment.

He’d already used "Sensing" Ability to check everyone’s location and status.

Old Yu, Yu Chen, Old Cui... all of them were safe for now, no danger detected.

As for Yin Yao and Chen Gang?

"This direction and distance?"

"Dawn City?"

After carefully sensing, Yu Jin raised his eyebrows.

Before the crossing, he asked Old Cui and the others to send him their coordinates; everyone did except Brother Gang.

Yin Yao had asked Yu Jin for his coordinates, but he never asked hers.

So, before the crossing, Yu Jin honestly didn’t know these two had spawned in a city ruled by himself.

"Wait!"

"Spatial Imprint!"

After just arriving in the Wasteland, the flood of info nearly made Yu Jin forget the most important thing.

He focused and tried to activate "Spatial Imprint" to return to Blue Star.

But...

Failed.

"As expected, it didn’t work."

Yu Jin wasn’t surprised, but he wasn’t discouraged either.

He just had a gut feeling...

Not working now doesn’t mean it won’t work in the future.

"Deep Blue?"

"Nope..."

"Brother Tongzi!"

Yu Jin called out in his heart.

Shua—

The familiar, semi-transparent panel appeared before him.

Since waking up after crossing, he hadn’t seen the panel; Yu Jin really felt kind of weird about it.

But in the next second—

Staring at the panel’s text, Yu Jin fell into deep thought.

[Danger! Danger!]

[Under the power of a high-dimensional civilization, you have been forcibly transported...]

[You’ve crossed from "Wasteland Planet" to the perilous "Wasteland Star System"!]

[This place is swarming with countless "Star System-Level Mutant Beasts" that feed on planets!]

[It’s flooded with "Galaxy-level Pollution Sources" capable of corroding entire star systems!]

[Your current tier is too low, weak as an ant, each step is perilous, survival impossible!]

[System granting ’Newbie Survival Resource Pack’...]

[Your Evolver tier rises by three!]

[Your tier rises to...]

[Error, error!]

[Due to unknown rules, your max tier is capped at Tier Nine...]

[System is seeking solutions!]

[System entering version update...]

[Update remaining: 1 hour]

[All system functions temporarily offline during update]

...

"Star System-level Mutant Beast?"

"Galaxy-level Pollution Source?"

Yu Jin chewed over those words, face slightly twisted.

If he remembered right—

Back on Blue Star, when he purified Oumuamua, the system rated it as a "Tier Ten Galaxy-level Pollution Source."

So in other words—

Star system-level should mean tier nine or above.

But now?

Yu Jin glanced at the Tier Seven turtle he was riding.

Then looked up, watching a flock of Tier Four mutant birds fly by in the distance.

Like...

Where the hell are the Star System-level Mutant Beasts and Pollution Sources?

At this moment—

Yu Jin felt a bit dazed.

This moment, just like that moment.

Seven days ago.

At the Jiang University lecture hall, chilling in the AC checking out freshmen girls.

Brother Tongzi cheered him on—

[Struggle hard to survive in the crisis-ridden Wasteland World]

Seven days later.

Wasteland Planet, his Level 100 Account.

Officially verified by "Wasteland" as: A3 Planet’s only Tier Nine Evolver, No. 1 on the A3 Planet tier leaderboard.

Brother Tongzi warns him—

[Tier too low, weak as an ant, peril at every step, cannot survive]

"For real..."

"So weak!"

Yu Jin shook his head, sighing.

Brother Tongzi, the more he looked at him the more comfortable he felt.

At first he thought, logging in as Level 100 Account felt great, but squashing ants for too long does get boring.

But now?

Things were starting to get interesting.

...

...

Time ticked by slowly.

Yu Jin perched atop the gigantic turtle’s head, gazing into the distance.

The Tier Seven mutated giant turtle looked slow, but each step carried a hint of "Shuttle."

In just a few minutes, the blurry outline of a Sanctuary City appeared at the edge of sight.

"Before hitting Dawn City, might as well check out the situation at other Sanctuary Cities."

"Sightseeing, studying, learning."

Yu Jin thought to himself.

The "Wasteland" game had reminded him just now!

Dawn City’s current level was a pitiful Level 0.

Yu Jin had no clue how to upgrade a Sanctuary City, and since Brother Tongzi was updating, he couldn’t ask.

So he planned to politely ask White Rock City Lord for advice.

On the other side—

Yu Wenbo saw White Rock Sanctuary City getting closer and closer, and finally couldn’t hold back his curiosity, quietly asked—

"Uh, uh, Yu Jin..."

"Did you awaken some kind of ’Beast Taming’ or ’Mutant Beast Affinity’ attribute?"

"This turtle... Lord Turtle..."

"Why does it obey your commands?"

Yu Wenbo was baffled.

He couldn’t figure out why the Tier Seven Mutated Giant Turtle didn’t attack Yu Jin, and even followed his orders.

"Oh?"

Yu Jin chuckled.

"Didn’t Xiaoming tell you already?"

"It’s afraid."

After Yu Jin spoke—

Yu Wenbo shook his head like a rattle drum.

"Afraid?"

Yu Wenbo wasn’t stupid; after three days in the Wasteland, he already had a pretty good grasp on Evolver tiers.

Tier One to Three — called Basic-level Evolver.

Tier Four to Six — the "Bosses" and "Powerful Beings" on their turf.

Above Tier Seven?

He’d never heard of anyone above Tier Seven in this region.

Not to mention...

Yu Jin was just like him, both from Blue Star, only been in the Wasteland for three days.

Three days? Tier Seven or above?

No way anyone would believe that!

Yu Wenbo thought silently, glancing at Yu Jin.

He didn’t sense that fearsome vibe like from White Rock City Lord.

"Maybe he really has some Beast Taming kind of attribute?"

"The Wasteland World has all sorts of crazy attributes; yesterday I even heard someone had a ’Poop’ attribute..."

"Damn, what luck, talk about a god-tier start..."

Yu Wenbo muttered in his heart, super envious of Yu Jin, but not jealous — he actually felt lucky.

At the same time—

In his mind, Yu Jin was now equal to a "Powerful Being."

"I can’t call him ’Yu Jin’ anymore!"

"Wasteland World, weak are meat for the strong, strict tier hierarchy!"

"He can afford to not care, but I can’t ignore the rules!"

Yu Wenbo thought, looking at Yu Jin.

"Yu Jin... my lord?"

He copied how the refugees addressed White Rock City Lord, calling out and testing Yu Jin’s reaction.

The latter turned his head and looked at him.

"My lord?"

The title sounded a bit weird to Yu Jin.

"You can call me City Lord, Yu City Lord."

Yu Jin thought about it and answered.

After he spoke—

Yu Wenbo paused, confused.

City Lord?

The term left Yu Wenbo scratching his head.

But Yu Jin didn’t explain, instead looking forward: "We’re here."

Yu Wenbo instinctively looked up as he spoke.

Now—

The duo and turtle had arrived right at the gates of White Rock Sanctuary City.

Outside the gates—

The refugees who’d been queuing to enter the city, upon witnessing the Tier Seven Mutated Giant Turtle, panicked and wailed in despair, chaos instantly erupting.

Bang—!

A huge noise.

The wide-open city gates slammed shut.

Yu Wenbo saw all this and froze.

He stared at White Rock Sanctuary City, eyes suddenly wide open.

A flash of realization hit him!

Shua—!

Yu Wenbo turned, locking eyes on Yu Jin.

His mind was in turmoil!

"Yu City Lord?"

"Yu City Lord!"

"Hiss..."
