Wasteland's Only King-Chapter 99 - 91: You Conquered the Interstellar Refuge Fortress Alone!
How should I...
describe the mood of this former Tier Eight City Lord of Naiya City?
Tier Nine Energy Crystal, purity 100%, ’leftovers from snacking’?
...
...
City Lord’s Mansion, Council Hall.
Yu Jin took his place in the City Lord’s exclusive seat.
Honestly?
He really didn’t like this seat.
Stiff as hell, and kinda pokes you.
The most important thing is...
No style at all!
"Naiya."
Yu Jin called out.
"Honorable Lord City Lord, is there anything Naiya can do for you?"
Naiya, who was giving Yu Jin a shoulder massage, paused for a moment.
"When Refuge City upgrades, will this seat upgrade too?"
"I just checked the shop, and I couldn’t find any item related to ’seats’."
Yu Jin sounded a bit regretful.
"It will."
"Honorable Lord City Lord, the seat upgrades with Refuge City’s level, and only with Refuge City’s level."
Naiya gave a clear answer.
In Naiya City, her throne of ice and fire came from the Eighth-level Shelter City.
It’s not just the throne, actually.
Refuge City’s infrastructure—like city gates, walls, City Lord’s Mansion and so on—will all upgrade as the city levels up.
No other method can affect them.
On the Wasteland, there’s a well-known funny story—
A City Lord of a regular Refuge City had one hundred thousand subordinates reinforce the walls, but at dawn, the walls were back to normal.
Hundred thousand people, strengthening nothing but air.
"Upgrading Refuge City is a must!"
Naiya heard, for the first time, real determination in the voice of the man sitting on the City Lord’s seat.
"..."
Naiya didn’t get it, but she was shaken.
A moment later.
Naiya was politely ’invited’ out of the City Lord’s Mansion by Yu Jin.
She felt uneasy, unsure if she’d somehow offended this terrifying existence.
...
...
"Should still keep my guard up."
"Don’t let down my guard and lose ’Jingzhou’."
Inside the tightly closed City Lord’s Mansion, Yu Jin muttered to himself.
Naiya is just Tier Eight, and while Yu Jin could easily suppress her, when he’s crystal-snacking, it’s not ideal to have her around.
Crunch—!
Tier Ten Energy Crystal down the hatch.
He chose not to snack on Tier Nine Crystal because he’d asked Brother Tongzi about it.
Brother Tongzi replied—
Selling Tier Nine Crystals is fine, but above Tier Nine, there’s a risk of getting busted by the server.
Yu Jin hates taking risks, and right now, he has no need to take any risks.
So...
"I’ll save up Tier Seven, Tier Eight, and Tier Nine Crystals for later, sell them when Points are low."
"Tier Ten and above, don’t sell, keep for myself."
Crunch—!
Another Tier Ten Crystal down.
The familiar drowsiness came over him.
Compared to Tier Nine Crystals, Tier Ten Crystals were on a whole new level of energy.
As a result—
Yu Jin at Tier Nine, after just two Crystals, could already sense a breakthrough wasn’t far off.
"Ah Tong."
"If I break through to Tier Ten on A3 Planet, will anything happen?"
Yu Jin wanted to be sure.
After all, the highest Tier on A3 Planet’s server is only Nine. Breaking through to Ten here was kind of ’bold’.
[Searching...]
[Search Complete!]
[Breaking through to Tier Ten on A3 Planet is very likely to trigger server rule shocks!]
[Solution—]
[Upgrade your Refuge City!]
[The higher your Refuge City’s level, the weaker A3 Planet’s rules inside your city!]
"What level do I need?"
Yu Jin pressed for details.
[Level 1 Sanctuary City + system workaround, safe to break through to Tier Ten.]
Brother Tongzi’s answer came quick.
"Level 1?"
Now that surprised Yu Jin.
He thought he’d at least need Level 567 Refuge City.
If that were so, breaking through would be impossible right now.
But Yu Jin knew—Brother Tongzi’s own ’effort’ definitely played a big part.
"First, finish digesting the energy from these two Tier Ten Crystals in Dawn City..."
"If there’s time left after that, I’ll head to White Rock City."
"Get Xiaoming Turtle to lead me, hunt some High-Tier Mutant Beasts or Infected Bodies, grab some Tier Eight and Nine Crystals, and if possible, snag some Tier Ten or Eleven Crystals."
Yu Jin mapped out his plan.
...
...
The next morning, bright and early. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
White Rock City.
Xiaoming, the Tier Seven Mutated Giant Turtle, was sprawled about a kilometer outside the city gates.
Yu Wenbo sat on its massive head, watching the refugees passing in and out of the city gate.
"Will City Lord Yu come back?"
Yu Wenbo gazed in the direction where Yu Jin had vanished.
It’d been a day since Yu Jin’s ’laser’.
Yu Wenbo and Turtle had waited here all day.
Worth mentioning—
The ’big hole’ blasted into White Rock City by Yu Jin yesterday, had already auto-repaired itself.
This change amazed the hundreds of thousands of refugees in White Rock City.
Over this day—
Because the White Rock City Lord fell, all the refugees who’d been enslaved as Black Slaves were freed.
Many of these refugees, most from Blue Star, teamed up near the Buffer Zone to hunt Tier One Mutant Beasts.
It was tough, but finally, the refugees got some food and filled their stomachs.
But—
Everyone knew.
White Rock City now belonged neither to Yu Wenbo nor the Mutated Giant Turtle, but to that man—
Yu Jin!
His name was known to everyone in White Rock City in just one day.
A few buzz-cut youths heard the name and got super excited.
Yu Wenbo thought they were Yu Jin’s ’old friends’ or ’buddies’, but after asking, found out they weren’t.
"How do the soldiers know Yu Jin too?"
Yu Wenbo wondered.
"Hmm..."
Suddenly—
He sensed Xiaoming’s body under him trembling.
"Scared..."
Turtle whimpered low.
Swoosh—!
Yu Wenbo looked up sharply.
"Is Lord City Lord Yu coming back?"
Just as he said it—
Buzz—!
The space not far from the man and turtle rippled like water.
In an instant—
A slender figure appeared in the sky, standing above the ground.
"Lord City Lord Yu!"
Yu Wenbo was thrilled, calling out loud.
"Huh?"
Yu Jin raised an eyebrow—what’s with this weird title, both ’City Lord Yu’ and ’Lord’.
Yu Wenbo’s shout was loud, to say the least.
So—
The refugees by White Rock City’s gate all looked over.
And so, they saw Yu Jin in the sky.
"Lord City Lord Yu!!"
"..."
Just a few minutes.
Inside and outside White Rock City—
Hundreds of thousands of refugees shouted together.
At the same time—
A system panel popped up in front of Yu Jin—
[You descended in godlike fashion, conquering ’White Rock Interstellar Refuge Fortress’ as a mere ant!]
[Wasteland Points +1,000,000!]
[You’ve obtained resource: Tier Ten Energy Crystal *1!]
[You’ve obtained Ability: Loyalty Lv1!]
[Loyalty Lv1——]
[Attributeless Ability, allows you to check target’s Loyalty!]
[Note——]
[The more subordinates you have, the higher their Loyalty, and the higher this Ability level!]
[Detected your subordinate Loyalty is high, Ability Level upgraded to Lv2!]
"Eh?"
"White Rock Interstellar Refuge Fortress...?"
Yu Jin looked up at White Rock City nearby, falling into deep thought.
