I've already reached the maximum level, and you guys are just starting out?

Chapter 116 You have obtained Carol, the twelfth-tier interstellar war commander! (23 words update, please vote for me!)

Alpha City.

City Lord's Mansion.

Ember used the coordinate brand to return to Dawn City.

Wu Yufei stayed behind.

He chose to become the lord of Alpha City.

Even if Ember hadn't arrived, this was still part of his original plan.

Alpha City holds the 'knowledge' that attracts him, perhaps about the history of the planet beneath his feet, and perhaps it can offer a glimpse into the origins of Wasteland.

a moment ago.

Upon waking up, Wu Yufei immediately shared all the knowledge and information he had obtained from Eureka with Yu Jin.

Although he had not yet fully digested all the knowledge, he had already keenly grasped the key points.

First, the closed beta of the Tier II civilization Celsa's "Wasteland," and the mechanism of choosing to travel through time at age 20.

Second, the 'Intragalactic Pollution Source Detection Notice' appeared alongside the Type II civilization Celza in "Wasteland".

The terrible thing is...

After Yufei uttered the words, "Pollution cannot be stopped, and Blue Star will eventually be destroyed,"

His 'knowledge' attribute conveyed an extremely strong response.

His response simply indicated that his current rank was too low to be promoted based on this 'knowledge'.

The existence of a response means that at least part of this statement is consistent with historical facts, or in other words, contains the truth.

"Ugh--"

Yufei gazed at the empty council hall and sighed deeply.

He didn't know if his parents had also traveled to this wasteland.

Before this.

Yufei always hoped that they had never traveled through time.

But now?
Yufei could only pray that they successfully crossed over.

Pollution cannot be stopped.

Even the Type II civilization of Celsa could only escape the pollution by traversing the 'galactic wasteland' to preserve the spark of civilization and seek a glimmer of hope.

And Blue Star.

How could such a primitive civilization possibly resist?

On September 9th, in the seconds before his journey, Yufei saw the purifying light that illuminated the entire northern hemisphere of Blue Star.

After witnessing Ember easily kill Eureka, a 9th-tier evolved being from an advanced civilization, Yufei guessed the answers to many questions.

That beam of purifying light was most likely the work of Ember.

Can……

Even if 'Oumuamua' is completely purified.

Has the pollution really ended?
Yufei shook his head, a feeling of pity welling up in his heart.

The knowledge attribute grants him extraordinary abilities, but it also means that he will bear the destiny of exploring the history of the wasteland and carrying the knowledge of Earth.

Not long after.

Following the instructions given by Yu Jin before he left, Yu Fei arrived at the core area of ​​Alpha City.

After a simple identity verification, I successfully became the new lord of Alpha City.

only……

As soon as he stepped into the core area, his eyes were drawn to a crystal ice coffin in a corner.

"coffin?"

Yu Fei was extremely surprised. He never expected that the core area, which only the city lord was qualified to enter, would have a quiet ice coffin placed there.

Filled with curiosity, Yufei walked up to the ice coffin.

The ice coffin appears to be made of some special material, making it impossible to open or even peek inside.

The only thing Yufei could sense was...

The corpse lying in the ice coffin was most likely a sixth-tier or even higher evolved being.

After a while.

Yufei gave up the idea of ​​exploring the secrets of the ice coffin.

He came here because he has something truly important to do.

"Alpha City..."

"Please tell me your history spanning thousands of years."

"Please tell me about the past of your planet."

Yu Fei murmured, reaching out and pressing his hand against the core of the city, which was half a person's height.

From the day he stepped into Alpha City, the attribute of 'knowledge' had been guiding him here...

……

……

A308 area.

Dawn City, City Lord's Mansion.

The council chamber was packed with people.

Yin Yao, Naya, Neil, Chen Gang, Wang Yunpeng... and Jiang Haochuan, who has just taken office as 'sheriff'.

All the core members of Dawn City's management team were present.

Excitement and joy were evident on the faces of Yin Yao and the others.

For the past two and a half days, Yu Jin has been in seclusion, consuming crystals.

Dawn City, on the other hand, was constantly conquering cities and sweeping across the wasteland!
South of A308, 50 refuge cities are all under our control!
In the northern part of A308, 51 refuge cities, including Daluo City, are already under the control of Dawn City.

Thanks to the information revealed by Nyarlathotep.

Now, Yin Yao and the others are fully aware of the requirements and restrictions of each level of the refuge city.

In terms of the number of subordinate cities alone—

Level 0: No affiliated city.

Level 1: 3 subordinate cities.

Level 2: 10 subordinate cities

Level 3: 25 subordinate cities

Level 4: 50 subordinate cities

Tier 5: 100 subordinate cities (ruling an entire single region)

……

There is a limit to the maximum number of subordinate cities that can be occupied by each level of refuge city in Wasteland.

For example, a level 0 refuge city needs at least 3 subordinate cities to be promoted to level 1, but can only have a maximum of 10 subordinate cities.

and so……

If Dawn City weren't currently only a level 2 refuge city with a maximum of only 50 subordinate cities, Yin Yao and her group would have taken over all 51 refuge cities, including Daluo City, in the past two days.

Since breaking through to the tenth rank, Dawn City has completed its first advancement.

Yu Jin basically handed over all the affairs of Dawn City to Yin Yao and others.

The same will continue to be true in the future.

Yin Yao and others were in charge of the development and expansion of Dawn City.

Ember, on the other hand, focused on leveling up himself, preparing for the future 'max-level character landing in the star system wasteland'.

"You guys did a great job."

Yu Jin, seated in the position of city lord, glanced around and spoke softly.

"Loyalty!"

Everyone in the council hall responded in unison.

Even Jiang Haochuan, who had only been in Dawn City for less than three days, was completely immersed in this atmosphere, and his shouts of loyalty were even louder than Chen Gang's.

Seeing this, Yu Jin nodded with satisfaction.

"Very energetic!" "Then..."

"Promotion!"

Ember's return to Dawn City was precisely for this purpose.

especially……

After receiving the prediction from Yufei that 'Blue Star will eventually be destroyed'.

The promotion of Dawn City is now even more urgent.

Only by upgrading Dawn City to level 6 as soon as possible can the sixth-tier 'Coordinate Imprint' ability be 'upgraded to max level with one click'.

There is more hope only if we return to Earth!

……

……

The City Lord's Mansion, the core area.

Yu Jin sat cross-legged on the ten-meter-long bed.

During the promotion of Dawn City, the city lord and his subjects cannot leave the city and must remain within it.

After the promotion is completed, Dawn City will jump directly from level 2 to level 4.

"Two days..."

The embers murmured to themselves.

In the past, he wouldn't have felt that these two days were long.

but now?
Upon learning of the memory information that Yufei had obtained from Eureka, Yu Jin wished he could achieve a 'one-second advancement'.

call--

Yu Jin let out a long breath.

Despite worrying about Earth, there was nothing that could be done.

"Let's process the rewards one by one first."

Yu Jin had a sudden thought.

Swah——

The system panel and the Wasteland game panel appeared simultaneously.

To be honest, the two designs, layouts, and even text styles are exactly the same.

"There are too many rewards, so let's go through them in order..."

"S-680 Miniature Interstellar Spaceship!"

"Come!"

Yu Jin silently recited in his heart.

but……

Time passes minute by minute.

There was no spaceship in front of Yu Jin.

"Oh, the spaceship is huge, we have to go outside."

Ember realized he was being incredibly stupid.

But he had just gotten up.

System prompts are coming.

[Due to the great distance and the restrictions imposed by the rules of Planet A3...]

[The strongest player's loot reward: S-680 miniature interstellar spaceship, cannot be issued!]

[System intervention is underway to seek a solution...]

[Locating the location of the S-680 miniature starship (purchased in advance by Eureka, codename XP1001)...]

[Locked successfully!]

It is located in the southeastern region of the Drake-3 Wasteland System.

[Execute the backup plan]

[Bypassing the Galaxy Server rule detection...]

You become the captain/commander of the S-680 miniature interstellar spaceship (codename XP1001)!

[You will gain actual control of your spaceship after advancing to the galactic wasteland!]

[Before your promotion, you will be temporarily unable to control the spaceship, which will wander freely in the starry sky...]

"..."

Yu Jin fell silent for a moment.

He hadn't expected it to be so complicated; he had originally thought he could pilot an interstellar spaceship on planet A3.

"No wonder it was just an extra."

"It's too early to say. Eureka is no good; we can't be friends with him."

For him now, this interstellar spaceship is neither appealing nor worth discarding.

By the time I advance in rank, Dawn City might have become an interstellar refuge fortress. What use would this tiny spaceship be then?
Yu Jin shook his head and quickly adjusted his mindset.

Because he didn't have time to regret not being able to board the interstellar spaceship, what was immediately approaching was...

"Eleventh-Tier Heritage Blind Box!"

"open!"

Last time I opened a blind box, I got a bit of a mishap, only getting memory fragments.

Although it contained a lot of information, it was ultimately not what Ember wanted.

What Ember wanted was...

[You have acquired the orphan of an eleventh-tier powerhouse (twelfth-tier)!]

"Me Cao?"

Yu Jin's breath hitched.

Good guy!
The orphan of an eleventh-tier powerhouse is a twelfth-tier evolver?
Is it really okay to add one more item to my cart?
"and many more……"

"Twelfth rank?"

"This won't be like the spaceship, unable to be opened, no, unusable, will it?"

Ember had a bad feeling, but his gaze remained honest as he looked at the details on the panel.

[Orphan: Carol Alexis]

【Gender: Female】

[Rank: Twelve]

[Attributes: War, Stars]

[Talent: Inspiration]

[Status: Near Death]

[Homeworld: Celsa, a Level II civilization]

【experience--】

[Thirty years ago, I traveled from the planet Celsa to the 'Drake-3 Wasteland System' and joined the 9th Interstellar Refuge Fortress of Celsa...]

[20 years ago, he broke through the tenth rank and was promoted to sergeant major]

[15 years ago, I broke through to the eleventh rank and was promoted to squad commander]

Five years ago, I broke through to the twelfth rank and was promoted to fleet commander.

One year ago, during an interstellar war with the Type II civilization Larnaca, the entire fleet was besieged and abandoned by the Celsa 9th Interstellar Refuge Fortress. Carol led her team out of the encirclement, but all her men were killed in battle. She herself escaped to an unclaimed planet, where she has been hunted down by the Type II civilization Larnaca ever since...

【hint--】

After you choose to claim the reward, Carol Alicosis will be healed and her loyalty to you will reach maximum.

【hint--】

During her escape, Carol Alexis learned that she had been abandoned and surrounded by the Type II civilization of Celsa due to a power struggle among the Celsa's elite, and that she and her entire fleet were victims of this struggle. Therefore, she no longer felt a sense of belonging to her original civilization, and even developed hatred for it.

[Once you choose to claim the reward, Carol Alexis will be loyal to the Earth civilization you belong to!]
