Wasteland's Only King-Chapter 182 - 1: Mars OL! Clearly a Newbie, Yet Accidentally Max Level?
"Blue Star?"
The moment his vision returned, Yu Jin was completely stunned.
Right now, he was on a strange planet.
All he could see was dark red earth, stretching as far as the eye could see.
This planet had no atmosphere, so he could look up and see the starry sky.
And right when Yu Jin landed, his first action was to look up at the sky—
So, he saw a planet, half blue, half pitch-black, looking just like Blue Star.
"Is it not?"
Yu Jin was shocked inside, and glanced at the faraway, dim sun.
Compared to the planet beneath his feet, Blue Star was closer to the sun.
So...
"Mars?"
"Did they really dump me onto Mars?"
Yu Jin felt completely lost for a moment.
This is just... what the hell...
He couldn’t help but think of Emperor Ye from Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin!
After the shock passed.
Yu Jin tried to activate ’Coordinate Imprint.’
If this really was Mars, he should be able to shuttle straight back to Blue Star, right?
Buzz—
An extremely faint spatial ripple spread, but Yu Jin didn’t move at all.
"Huh?"
Yu Jin was puzzled.
Why was his own attribute energy so weak now?
"Oi, kid!"
"You’re new here, aren’t you?"
Behind Yu Jin, a man’s rough voice called out.
No sooner had he spoken, than he strutted up right in front of Yu Jin.
This was a middle-aged man with obvious Hu Qing features.
He stared at Yu Jin, looked him up and down, and a puzzled look flashed across his face.
"Weird..."
"How did someone as weak as you get picked to join the squad?"
"You look like a total noob who doesn’t know anything?"
The Hu Qing man muttered, but still took the initiative to reach out and introduce himself.
"Aaron Ferguson, Federation Level II Citizen."
"Since you spawned at this camp, you’re now our squad’s new member."
Yu Jin was still a little dazed.
After logging into Wasteland OL, there was absolutely no introduction of the game rules.
He was still in shock over arriving on Mars, but as he slowly came to his senses, he started to notice his surroundings too.
He was facing a dark red desert wasteland.
When he turned around...
There was a camp behind him.
Inside the camp, there were numerous gray "tents" shaped like pyramids.
Outside the tents stood several figures, most chatting away in small groups, a few glancing over to size up Yu Jin.
"Players?"
"Are they all players?"
Yu Jin’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t immediately reply to Aaron’s invitation to join the squad, but instead activated ’Eye of Insight.’
[Aaron Ferguson]
[Civilization: Level III]
[Identity: Level II Citizen]
[Mother Star: Titan Star]
[Tier: ???]
[Attribute: ???]
[Talent: ???]
[...]
[Limitless: 0.3%]
[Evaluation: With your current tier, you can’t see any more information...]
With the Level 9 Eye of Insight, he could check info on targets with a tier no higher than his own.
In other words, this Hu Qing bro’s tier was higher than his, at least Tier Sixteen or above.
However...
"Limitless 0.3%?"
"What the hell is that?"
Yu Jin frowned slightly and used ’Eye of Insight’ on himself too.
[Yu Jin]
[Civilization: Level I]
[Mother Star: Blue Star]
[Tier: Tier Sixteen]
[...]
[Limitless: 1% (0%+1%)]
[Evaluation: No further information can be viewed]
Yu Jin frowned even more deeply.
Meanwhile, across from him, Aaron Ferguson stared for a while and suddenly burst out laughing.
"You really are a total noob, huh?"
"Just look at you..."
"Let me guess, you’re wondering why you can’t use your attribute abilities?"
Yu Jin kept a straight face and gave a noncommittal reply.
"Haha!"
"Wasteland OL is completely different from Wasteland. I don’t know how you don’t even know that basic common sense, but since you’re about to be a member of Alon Squad, let me give you a little primer."
Aaron was super enthusiastic and straightforward, laughing loudly as he clapped a hand onto Yu Jin’s shoulder.
He gestured to the hundred plus people in the camp behind them, and explained, unhurriedly:
"Look."
"All these guys you see? If we were on the Wasteland server, they’d all be Tier Twenty Max Level Evolvers!"
"Of course, so would I."
"But that’s the level and abilities from the Wasteland game, you get it?"
"That’s only in-game, not real. You can’t bring them into real life."
"But right now?"
"You, me, him, and all of them..."
"We’re standing on a completely real, actual planet!"
"The mighty Wasteland OL can teleport us from the Ophelia Federation to some unbelievably distant Star System, to this ’K-4’ planet."
"All that level, attribute, and ability stuff we got in Wasteland, it still exists, but it’s limited."
"Limitless — that’s the unlocking of those limits. Bringing the Extraordinary from the game into reality."
"The higher your Unlimited Level, the stronger your Combat Power!"
At this point, Aaron paused, as if he just realized something, belatedly.
He stared straight into Yu Jin’s eyes, speaking with almost utter certainty:
"You really don’t know about ’Limitless’? You’re nothing like an Ophelia Federation citizen."
"You just got elevated from a Low-dimensional server, right?"
"Haven’t even gotten your V-Class Citizen status yet?"
"Wait, but then where’d you get a helmet, and even managed to join Miss Athena’s army?"
"Low-welfare? No way low-welfare folks get that..."
Aaron chatted to himself, then suddenly his eyes went wide.
"Damn!"
"Did you hit the Eight-color Ball Lottery or something?"
"Yeah, yeah, that’s gotta be it!"
"Aside from winning the lottery, I can’t think of how a freshly elevated guy like you could get a helmet and army qualifications!"
Yu Jin listened and fell into deep thought.
This...
He was actually planning to make something up, find some excuse to hide his identity.
