Wasteland's Only King-Chapter 98 - 91: You Conquer the Interstellar Refuge Fortress Alone!

Chapter 98: Chapter 91: You Conquer the Interstellar Refuge Fortress Alone!

[Your first-tier Light Attribute Ability ’Laser’ has been upgraded to Level 9!]

[Your first-tier Thunder Attribute Ability ’Thunder’ has been upgraded to Level 9!]

[Your first-tier Spatial Attribute Ability ’Spatial Perception’ has been upgraded to Level 9!]

...

Up till now.

Yu Jin has awakened a total of seven attributes. Excluding ’Value’ Attribute, all his Tier One Abilities for the other six attributes have been ’One-Click Max Level’!

"Hell yeah!"

Yu Jin felt like every pore in his body, billions of them, were wide open and breathing!

Before.

He was just a cheater.

Now?

He’s a god-tier cheater!

"Looking back, what the hell was that so-called max level?"

"All those Level 1 and Level 2 skills—how did anyone call that max level?"

"Every ability for every attribute must be maxed—that’s what real max level is!"

Yu Jin was full of hope for the future.

But at the same time—

He felt a bit regretful.

There’s still over 14 million points he hasn’t spent yet.

Even...

Right there by his side stands a ’fully automatic wool-producing robot’.

"Why’s the most expensive item only three million?"

Yu Jin grumbled.

He glanced at Naiya, only to find that the Moore Star loli’s mouth was still hanging open—big enough to fit an egg.

"Naiya?"

Yu Jin called out.

Naiya’s pupils, totally unfocused, finally began to snap back to awareness.

"Fourteen million..."

Naiya still mumbled to herself.

She really didn’t get it!

The guy in front of her, sure, he’s terrifyingly strong on the Star System Wasteland; sure, he just crossed over a few days ago and he’s already Tier Nine, higher than her...

But!

Fourteen million, holy crap!

And after burning 1.8 million, it’s a total of sixteen million!

Naiya swore—

She’s been on the Wasteland for one hundred fifty years, and never once had she felt so ’lost’.

Yeah, lost.

She remembered, fifty years ago, when she leveled up her ’Ice and Fire Two Realms’ ability to Level 8, she mobilized no less than a thousand Refuge Cities under her command to gather crystals!

Including herself, she left Naiya City in person to hunt rare High-Tier Mutant Beasts/Infected Bodies.

And even then, it took three whole years to save up enough points.

But now?

Standing in front of this guy, Naiya felt like such a country bumpkin who’s never seen the world before.

"Hello?"

Yu Jin stared at Naiya and called again.

Naiya finally started to slowly lift her head.

She looked at Yu Jin. She genuinely wanted to ask him where in the hell did he get so many points...

"Honorable Lord City Lord."

"Do you need Naiya to do something for you?"

Naiya responded to Yu Jin’s call in a quiet voice.

The title was still the same as before, but there was this inexplicable awe in her tone.

"Oh, nothing really."

Seeing Naiya snap out of it, Yu Jin asked his question:

"Why is the most expensive thing in the mall only 3 million points?"

"Isn’t that just weird?"

"I looked around, the highest-tier crystal is only Tier Five. No Tier Six or Tier Seven crystals anywhere. Isn’t this mall a bit too shabby?"

Naiya took a deep breath.

Her not-so-noticeable chest rose and fell, all thanks to Yu Jin’s ’only 3 million’ line.

"Honorable Lord City Lord..."

Naiya answered with a super complex tone:

"The tiers and quality of goods in the Resource Mall are limited by the Refuge City level."

"The higher the Refuge City level, the higher the item tier... and the pricier they become."

Yu Jin nodded when he heard this.

This lined up pretty much with his guess.

Since there’s a Refuge City level setting, it makes sense for the mall to scale with it.

"When trading crystals for points, what’s the usual ratio?"

Yu Jin asked again.

"Uh... it’s pretty complicated."

"Because there are Pollution Crystals, Infection Crystals, and Energy Crystals; each comes in different tiers and purities—"

Naiya got halfway through and abruptly stopped.

"You, you..."

"The thing you’re holding..."

Naiya blurted out.

"Oh, you mean this?"

Yu Jin waved the rainbow-colored, irregular crystal in his hand.

"Leftover piece from my last snack, I wanna see how many points I can trade this for."

Yu Jin sounded super casual.

But Naiya—she was totally flabbergasted!

No freaking way—

If she wasn’t seeing things, that—that’s a Tier Nine Crystal, right?

Right...?

It’s gotta be!!

She’d snacked on more Tier Eight Crystals than she could count; there’s no way she’d misidentify a Tier Eight!

This crystal’s energy aura is obviously stronger than Tier Eight, no, way stronger than Tier Eight!

But that’s not all.

Its purity—Naiya had never seen anything like it in one hundred fifty years!

She even wondered if its purity could be over 95%, almost entirely unpolluted!

[Beep——]

The mechanical prompt sounded.

As Naiya spaced out, Yu Jin lightly tossed the Tier Nine Energy Crystal into the air.

Simultaneously—

The crystal symbolizing the ’City Core’ fired beams of light, scanning the crystal top-to-bottom.

In less than a minute—

The mechanical prompt continued—

[Tier Nine Energy Crystal]

[Purity: 100%]

[Evaluation: An unprecedented treasure on A3 Wasteland Planet, value beyond estimation!]

[Assessing buyback price...]

[Buyback price: 500,000,000 points]

"Huh?"

"Five hundred million?"

Yu Jin heard the price and froze on the spot.

Damn, bro!

He might still have underestimated how overpowered ’Brother Tongzi’s products’ are.

[Sell now?]

It was just a mechanical voice, but now it sounded a bit urgent.

"No rush."

Yu Jin didn’t hurry to sell; instead, he put away the floating Tier Nine Crystal.

Five hundred million points was tempting, but Yu Jin felt it’d be safer to double-check with Brother Tongzi.

Since he’s both cheating and dropping cash...

Gotta be careful not to get flagged by the server.

Meanwhile—

Naiya’s delicate doll-like face had completely lost the ability to express any emotion.
