Wasteland's Only King-Chapter 163 - 142: Sister Ka Wholesale AAA Starships? Ring of the Sky! Eastward All the Way!
Endless starry sky.
Stealth mode fully activated, hiding inside the S-680 Micro Interstellar Spaceship behind the asteroid belt.
Carol gazed at the distant mountain-sized Interstellar Mother Ship, chills running through her heart.
This is...
The Salsa High-Level Fleet!
At least one Senior Commander and not less than ten Tier Fourteen Evolvers on board!
Senior Commanders are typically Tier Fifteen Powerful Beings.
Tier Fifteen—even in the Ninth Interstellar Refuge Fortress, they’re big shots with serious clout.
Tiers Sixteen and Seventeen are enough to be Vice Lords or even Lords of large Interstellar Refuge Fortresses.
Tier Eighteen—able to rule several large Fortresses, or serve as Lord of a super-large Fortress.
Tier Nineteen...
That’s a legendary tier; rumor is that only the highest leaders of the Big Company Alliance reach it.
The Big Company Alliance of the Selza Civilization holds countless Interstellar Refuge Fortresses under its command, its power on the Star System Wasteland beyond imagination...
Vrrr—!
Suddenly.
The intense disturbance from the distant starry sky snapped Carol out of her thoughts.
"Teleportation?"
"Full-power teleportation?"
Carol stared at the T-9 Interstellar Mother Ship, her pupils contracting sharply.
Generally speaking...
Only when pursuing or escaping will they use this kind of full-power teleportation!
"Did they find me?"
The idea just popped up and Carol instantly dismissed it.
Even if she was spotted, her tiny S-680 spaceship wasn’t worth such a massive Mother Ship deploying full-power teleportation.
"Hmm?"
Carol, tense as a wire, froze again.
She noticed...
The massive T-9 Mother Ship in the distance had stayed in a ’full-power teleportation device’ state, yet had never actually jumped.
"What the..."
Carol squinted slightly.
Even a colossal T-9 High-Level Interstellar Mother Ship can’t withstand such sustained, enormous energy consumption.
And also...
Preparing for teleportation but not jumping—what kind of operation is that?
"Did something go wrong inside the Mother Ship?"
Carol made a bold guess, but didn’t rush into action.
She waited quietly aboard the S-680 spaceship.
Vrrr—!
No telling how much time passed.
The terrifying teleportation waves of the T-9 Interstellar Mother Ship suddenly ceased.
"They ran out of energy..."
Carol murmured, but still didn’t act recklessly.
She observed quietly, waiting.
Time slipped by without a sound.
In a blink.
A whole day went by.
The T-9 Mother Ship seemed like a ghost, floating silently in the depths of space.
Vrrr—!
Carol piloted the S-680 spaceship, slowly drawing closer.
An hour later.
Carol made a successful landing.
She discovered...
This vast High-Level Interstellar Mother Ship was completely deserted.
Carol entered the main control cockpit, pulling up navigation maps, historical logs, and ship-wide holographic surveillance...
"Hmm?"
Carol saw on the screens: everyone onboard vanished in an instant, all at once.
Including that powerful Tier Fifteen Commander-in-Chief, Holland Benitez—he’d been forcibly teleported out too.
The familiar scene left Carol dazzled for a second.
"The Lord?"
"Was it the Lord intervening again, solving the crisis of the Uninhabited Planet being discovered?"
"Yes, yes..."
"Only the Lord has such power!"
Carol muttered under her breath one moment, then spoke aloud, invigorated.
A long while later.
She took a deep breath and approached the control panel.
Shut down the coordinate emitter, wipe all Mother Ship coordinates, activate anti-detection stealth mode...
The energy of the T-9 Interstellar Mother Ship was already bottomed out—there’s not enough to power up teleportation.
So...
Carol alone piloted this monstrously massive High-Level Interstellar Mother Ship, slowly flying toward the Uninhabited Planet.
This was a resource the Lord left her!
She was determined to make achievements and repay the Lord’s favor!
...
...
Uninhabited Planet.
BOOM—
Rumble—!
The T-9 Interstellar Mother Ship landed and Carol stepped out.
"No way..."
"Carol is getting out of hand, seriously?"
"Last trip out, she brought back a Mother Ship."
"This trip out, she brings back a super mega-mother ship?"
"Damn it..."
"Is she our AAA Starship wholesale Sister Ka?"
Tang Yunxuan stared, completely baffled, at the Interstellar Mother Ship towering taller than mountain peaks—its height over a thousand meters.
Compared to Tang Yunxuan.
The other one hundred thousand Blue Star beta testers had even more exaggerated reactions.
Some yelled and hollered, even cursing out loud.
Some stayed quiet, swung their shovels, digging for their lives.
Carol’s published work rules made it clear——
As long as you dig hard, there’s a shot to become a fleet member, maybe even a Commander.
Before all this.
They’d seen the X-87 Interstellar Mother Ship—dazzling, but always felt it was worlds away from them.
After all...
The Commander of that Mother Ship would obviously be Carol herself.
The most they could hope for was to compete to enter the fleet as regular members.
Besides the X-87 Mother Ship, there were a dozen Small Interstellar Battleships, all controlled by Unmanned Mecha—no need for crew or Commanders.
So...
They’d felt drawn to the cause, but hadn’t gone crazy over it.
But now?
Carol seemed to know just what the players were thinking.
With a wave of her hand, the T-9 Interstellar Mother Ship’s side and top hatches all opened up—she’d programmed it right before disembarking.
BOOM—
Rumble—!
The engines roared, making sky and earth tremble.
A fleet of sci-fi shaped starships and spaceships—large, medium, and small—rose up into the air!
They swooped and circled above the heads of the ten thousand Blue Star players.
"The Great Lord——"
"Again brings us a powerful and massive fleet of starships!"
"He grants you——"
"A chance to join the fleet and conquer the endless stars!"
Carol’s voice entered every ear, landing in every heart.
Clang—!
Tang Yunxuan said nothing, head down, mining.
"Dig!"
"Dig, damn you, dig quickly!"
"Dig your way to a fleet slot, dig into squad leader, dig up... Interstellar Warship Commander!"
...
...
A3 Planet.
A308 Area.
BOOM—
Rumble—!
Now.
Dawn City hovered silently dozens of meters above the ground.
The Ring of the Sky was vibrating nonstop.
Under the awe of over a million subordinates inside the city, one Refuge City on the ground was forcefully ’pulled’ by the Ring of the Sky, detaching from earth and soaring up to the sky, dozens of meters high.
Thump—!
A tremor sounded.
This Refuge City, called White Rock City, landed smoothly in the last open spot on the Ring of the Sky.
With this.
After Dawn City advanced, all 6 regions on the Ring were ’filled’ with a Refuge City.
"Wuhu——!"
"Awesome!"
"This rocks!"
"Loyalty~!!"
Inside Dawn City, a million people cheered as one.
On the ground below Dawn City, a dense crowd of over a hundred thousand Blue Star players on the wasteland looked up, too excited to contain themselves!
"We made it!"
"Which means..."
"We have a chance to join Dawn City!"
Some of these players came from White Rock City, but most were from other sub-cities nearby.
All had wanted to join, but Dawn City couldn’t fit them before, so they’d been regretfully ’left out’.
White Rock City itself was now empty, just like the other five cities already successfully linked—meant for Blue Star players to fill.
This was the task Yu Jin had left for Yin Yao and the others before returning to Blue Star.
Now.
Above Dawn City.
Yin Yao watched, letting out a long breath.
It’s been three days since Yu Jin ’disappeared’.
Yin Yao and the others were lost and frantic at first but now they’d calmed down.
In these three days, following Yu Jin’s plan, they linked six Refuge Cities to Dawn City.
And based on that, absorbed over a million Blue Star players.
With the sub-cities linked, the total subordinate count in Dawn City surpassed two million!
"The club president would be happy to see this..."
Yin Yao murmured quietly, glancing down at the hundred thousand Blue Star players waiting hopefully below.
She stretched out a finger, tapping the translucent control panel in front of her.
Vrrr—
At the original city gate, the Quantum Transmission Plaza pulsed with waves.
Shoo—!
A huge pillar of light shot down, covering the crowd of hundreds of thousands below.
Swish—
The light flashed again.
The previously empty Transmission Plaza was suddenly packed with people.
These tens of thousands of new Dawn City subordinates stood dazed and ecstatic.
"Loyalty~!"
That was the only word they could find to express their feelings.
Yin Yao smiled gently as she watched.
In the crowd, she spotted a familiar figure.
That was...
The reporter who once interviewed the club president and herself?
Yu Wenbo?
White Rock City’s Deputy City Lord, now a new subordinate of Dawn City.
Yin Yao’s gaze didn’t linger long on the familiar face.
Swish—
Her figure flashed, appearing on the first floor of the Tower of the Sky.
After Dawn City’s advancement, the City Lord’s Mansion became the Tower of the Sky.
The first floor is now the new Council Hall.
As for the Tower’s top floor...
That’s Yu Jin’s exclusive spot—now, only Naiya is still there.
Three days have passed, and Naiya has yet to awaken.
For these three days, Neil has never stopped trying to sense Yu Jin’s whereabouts.
She shares a special connection with him, letting her sense his general location.
However...
As Yu Jin’s Tier rises, that ’bottom-to-top’ perception gets fuzzier and harder.
So much so, Neil spent three whole days and nights focusing, finally getting a clue.
Yin Yao, Chen Gang, Jiang Haichuan, and others had all received Neil’s communication, gathering here now.
At this moment.
Everyone’s gaze fixed on Neil.
Neil said nothing, just pointed eastward.
"My Lord..."
"Is there."
The words landed.
Yin Yao’s brows knitted, asking: "Any specific area, or just roughly the direction?"
Neil’s blue mechanical eyes flashed, and she replied, word by word: "Only the rough direction, but the closer we get, the clearer I’ll sense."
With that said.
The Council Hall fell silent for a moment.
After a while.
Yin Yao spoke:
"Since the club president is in the east, then..."
"Let’s pause advancing in A307 Area and focus on finding the president."
"All heading east?"
Chen Gang blurted, "Agreed!"
Jiang Haichuan nodded seriously, "Sounds good to me!"
Wang Yunpeng and the Environmental Protection Club members exchanged glances, saying as one: "All heading east!"
"Alright."
Yin Yao, personally appointed as Vice City Lord by Yu Jin, made the call.
"All heading east!"
"We’ll conquer sub-cities along the way and search for the president’s whereabouts!"
"Dawn City without the president isn’t truly Dawn City!"
