Chapter 137 Dawn's Blade! Powerful Tongue Attribute! Sky Tower! (33)

Dawn City.

Time flies by.

Ember looked up at the light projection in mid-air.

[Time remaining for promotion: 1 days]

"One more day."

Ember was somewhat annoyed that he hadn't gone out to grind more monsters before advancing to Dawn City.

The days without crystals to eat are really hard to get through.

Ember turned his head and looked at Nyarlathotep on the bed.

Naya remained as quiet as a doll, fast asleep.

"Hey--"

Yu Jin sighed softly.

Talk about it.

I don't know if Ellie and Natasha have returned to Ghost King City yet, as neither of them has sent any messages.

"Ever since the day I bound myself to the system, I've always seemed so busy..."

"Busy with environmental protection, busy with upgrades, busy with exploiting loopholes, busy with monster hunting, busy with crystal farming, busy with promotions..."

Yu Jin sat on the bed, reflecting on his experiences over the past period.

a long time.

call--

Yu Jin stood up and exhaled a long breath.

This day may be a rare moment of free time that we may never have again.

He decided to take a walk around Dawn City and give himself a short break.

……

……

Dawn City.

Outer city streets.

Yu Jin's memories of this place are still from when he first took office.

Narrow, dilapidated, and frequented by displaced people.

But now?
After several promotions, it was upgraded from a level 0 refuge city to a level 5 refuge city.

This place can probably no longer be described as a 'street'.

"Dawn Avenue?"

"This name seems nice..."

Yu Jin murmured to himself, looking ahead.

The main road, which is over a thousand meters wide, runs across the entire city of Liming.

On both sides of the main road stand rows of modern-looking small buildings.

Looking at these buildings alone, it's hard to imagine that this is a wasteland.

nowadays.

The number of citizens of Dawn City has officially surpassed one million.

The city, now with a population of one million, is far more bustling than it was back then.

On the main road, people came and went, and each of them exuded the aura of an evolved being.

The lowest level is a second-tier evolver.

Because the entry benefit for Dawn City is 'second-tier crystal'.

There are also quite a few third- and fourth-order evolvers.

Fifth-tier evolvers are relatively rare.

Only the core members of the management team who initially followed Yu Jin and reached the sixth rank or above, including Yin Yao and Chen Gang, have achieved this.

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long; we still need to work hard."

The embers were not satisfied.

In his vision, Dawn City would one day be a place where "everyone is like a dragon".

Even if we don't expect everyone to be at the eighth or ninth rank, at least it should be that "the fifth rank is worse than a dog, and the sixth rank is everywhere".

"I wonder how the high-level evolved human legion plan that I mentioned to Yin Yao before is progressing..."

Yu Jin muttered to himself, his feet never stopping.

He didn't deliberately display his aura as a fourteenth-tier evolver, and even used the 'Presence Reduction' ability he bought from the 'Resource Shop'.

On this free day, he wanted to clear his head and wander around.

Instead of being 'loyal' wherever they go.

Therefore.

He didn't use his 'Light Touch' ability to instantly take in every corner of Dawn City, as that would take away too much of the fun.

Ember slowly made its way to the inner city area.

The first thing that catches the eye is the martial arts training ground, which is now more than a hundred times larger than it used to be.

Although it's called a martial arts training ground, its actual size is comparable to that of a typical level 0 refuge city.

"Ok?"

Yu Jin noticed that there were tens of thousands of evolved beings in the martial arts arena.

Their aura was significantly stronger than that of the subjects they had seen before.

The most distinctive feature of these tens of thousands of people is...

A buzz cut, a young man.

"Dawnblade?"

Yu Jin heard this slightly cringeworthy title from the mouths of several young men at the front.

"It's not impossible."

Yu Jin nodded, somewhat looking forward to their future growth.

He believed that with the light of purification and sufficient crystal resources, given time, Dawn City would grow into an unprecedentedly powerful refuge city on Planet A3 and even on all wasteland planet servers.

Ember wandered around Dawn City, stopping and starting as it pleased.

Half a day later.

He then leisurely returned to the city lord's mansion.

"Yu Pan'er?"

From afar, Yu Jin spotted a figure standing at the entrance of the city lord's mansion.

Yu Jin still had a strong impression of this senior.

"Lord Yu!"

Hearing someone call her name, Yu Pan'er quickly turned around. When she saw that it was Yu Jin, her delicate oval face instantly turned red.

"?"

Ember was stunned.

Where did this Steam Girl come from? She gets all worked up just from calling out her name.
"Lord Yu, Lord Yu..."

"Recently, I've lacked practice with my attribute abilities..."

"If you have some free time... could you perhaps offer a little guidance..."

Yu Pan'er lowered her head, her ear tips turning bright red.

Yu Jin stroked his chin and nodded to himself.

As the city lord, he did indeed have the obligation to guide his subjects.

But Yu Pan'er's peculiar attributes...

How to provide guidance?

"Elaborate?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Pan'er's pretty face turned even redder.

She walked up to the embers with her head down and said in a voice barely audible, "Anything is fine..."

"?"

Yu Jin fell into deep thought.

……

……

"call--"

Yu Jin lay on the ten-meter-long bed, letting out a long sigh.

To be honest, the tongue is indeed a powerful attribute.

So powerful, he really wants a cigarette right now.

"Dark Gang?" Yu Jin's mind raced, and he began searching in the Level 5 resource shop...

Beside the ten-meter-long bed.

Yu Pan'er covered her mouth and coughed lightly, as if she had choked a little.

Gollum—

Her throat throbbed slightly as if she were swallowing.

Yu Pan'er couldn't help but look at Naya, who had her eyes closed, by the bedside.

Even though she is of the same sex, Yu Pan'er genuinely feels—

Naya is so exquisite, so exquisite that she seems like a perfect loli that only exists in imagination.

Yu Pan'er glanced at Naya secretly, then unconsciously lowered her head again.

Compared to Nyarlathotep, I am far, far inferior.

They are at the eighth level, while I am only at the fourth level.

They can stay by Lord Yu's side every day and sleep on this ten-meter-long bed.

And myself...

"I will work hard to practice my attribute abilities."

"Practice until you've mastered it, practice until your tongue is as eloquent as a golden lotus..."

Yu Pan'er made up her mind on her own.

……

……

Time flies by.

core zone.

Yu Pan'er has already left.

Nyarlathotep has not yet awakened.

[Time remaining for promotion: 5 minutes]

Ember gazed at the light screen, waiting quietly.

After instructing Yu Pan'er on her abilities, Yu Jin didn't find "Dark Group" in the "Resource Shop," but he did find many useful items that he hadn't noticed before.

[Space Bracelet]

Price: 2000 million points

[Evaluation: It includes a 10*10*10 meter space, which can accommodate non-living objects]

With a wave of his hand, Yu Jin bought 10.

He planned to distribute it to Yin Yaonier and others.

Previously, Ember himself would have really needed such a product, but now...

[Fourth-Order Spatial Attribute Ability: Subspace lv9]

[Active Effect: Briefly enters subspace, during which time the user cannot be targeted and is immune to all damage]

[Max level effect: Cooldown is greatly reduced, and the time spent in subspace is extended]

[Awakening Effect: You gain a 1000*1000*1000 meter personal space, which can store and access non-living entities.]

When Yu Jin first awakened the 'space' attribute, he really wanted to complain.

Despite its supposedly grand spatial attributes, it doesn't even have a basic personal space.

It wasn't until he broke through to the fourteenth level that Yu Jin finally understood.

It turns out that it wasn't that there wasn't one, but rather that my rank was too low at the time.

Attributes and abilities need to be developed.

The simplest and most direct way to develop abilities is by upgrading. Once you reach a sufficiently high level, you will naturally unlock new abilities and effects.

now.

Ember's 'portable space' was already overflowing with various resources such as beast meat and crystals.

These were all preparations he made in advance for returning to Earth.

"hope everything is fine."

Yu Jin took a deep breath and murmured softly.

boom--

Rumble——!
Dawn City began to tremble.

In the final moments before the promotion was completed.

This sky city changes constantly in an almost magical way.

The first thing to change is still the 'occupied' area.

Dawn City expanded in all directions until it reached four times its original size, at which point it finally stopped.

As the city expanded, new buildings and facilities sprang up at a visible pace.

Besides.

The small buildings in the inner city at dawn were also bathed in light, undergoing a magical transformation.

hum-

There was a flash of light.

In just a moment, the small building transformed into a tall building, soaring into the clouds.

Rumble——!
The city lord's mansion where Yu Jin was located also began to shake violently.

Swah——

The embers were filled with light.

Despite being a fourteenth-tier evolved being, he couldn't even see what was happening around him.

After just a few seconds.

Ember's vision returns.

He discovered that everything around him had changed.

The once spacious yet desolate core area has now become... the spire under the sky?
Swah——

With a flash, Yu Jin appeared in the sky above Dawn City.

The city lord's mansion has vanished.

Instead, a towering, magnificent giant tower has been erected.

It stands in the center of Dawn City, its surface flowing with complex energy patterns.

At the top of the tower, a ten-meter-diameter energy crystal radiates brilliant light.

That was a tenth-tier crystal that the embers used as an energy source for Dawn City, but now it was magnified and projected, revealing itself.

And not far from the 'Sky Tower'.

Another towering building rose from the ground.

At its top, a pale golden energy vortex rotates silently.

A peculiar fluctuation, indescribable by the embers, emanated from the vortex and spread in all directions.

"Civilization detection module?"

Yu Jin's heart stirred, and he made a guess.

but……

The changes in Dawn City are not over yet.

Or rather, the real change has only just begun.

boom--

Rumble——!
The loud noise echoed throughout every corner of Dawn City.

Millions of citizens looked in the direction of the sound, only to find...

The sound came from all directions outside Dawn City.

I saw——

The space outside Dawn City was bathed in light.

From within the halo of light, a 'click-clack' mechanical friction sound could be heard.

The sound lasted for a long time, and even when Ember tried to use his 'light touch', he still couldn't see clearly.

Time passes little by little.

When the light finally faded.

The millions of people in Dawn City, including Ember, were speechless with shock at what they saw!
In the sky, outside the city, an extremely huge 'ring' appeared out of nowhere?
The ring encircled the entire city of Dawn.

The circular surface is covered with the illusory silhouettes of various buildings...

On the ring, one could vaguely see outlines resembling weapon muzzles...

Above the circle, there are exactly six empty areas, each large enough to house an entire ordinary refuge city...
