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

Chapter 157 Mars Online! A complete newbie, yet accidentally reached max level?
"Blue Star?"

The moment his vision returned, Yu Jin was stunned.

At this moment, he is on a strange planet.

On the planet, as far as the eye can see, there is only dark red earth.

This planet has no atmosphere, so you can see the stars when you look up.

And the very moment Ember landed was precisely when he looked up at the sky—

Then he saw that planet, half blue and half black, which looked just like the Blue Star.

"no?"

As Yu Jin was deeply shaken, he looked at the slightly dimming sun in the distance.

Compared to the planet beneath his feet, Blue Star is closer to the sun.

and so……

"Mars?"

"Are you trying to get me to come to Mars?"

For a moment, Yu Jin was in a daze.

What the hell...

It reminded him of Emperor Ye, who was pulling a coffin with nine dragons!
After the shock.

Ember attempted to activate 'Coordinate Imprint'.

If this really is Mars, it should be able to travel directly back to Earth.
hum-

The subtlest spatial fluctuations spread out, and the embers remained in place.

"Uh?"

Yu Jin was taken aback.

How could the elemental energy within him be so weak?

"Hey, kid!"

"New here, right?"

Behind Yu Jin, a slightly rough male voice rang out.

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already walked up to Yu Jin.

This is a middle-aged man with heavy traces of sleuthish behavior.

He stared at the embers, looked them up and down, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

"strangeness……"

"How did someone as weak as you get chosen to join the team?"

"Looks like a complete newbie who doesn't know anything?"

Hu Qing muttered to himself, but took the initiative to extend his hand to Yu Jin and introduce himself.

"Aron Ferguson, a citizen of the Federal Second Class."

"Since you spawned at this camp at the start of the game, you're a new member of our squad."

Yu Jin was still somewhat dazed.

After the game "Wasteland Online" was launched, there was no introduction to the game rules.

He was still in shock at being on Mars, and only now, as he came to his senses, did he notice his surroundings.

He was originally facing a dark red desert landscape.

I turned around and realized...

There was a campsite behind them.

Inside the camp, there were rows of gray 'tents' shaped like pyramids.

Outside the tent, several figures stood, most of them whispering and chatting, while a few cast sizing glances at Yu Jin.

"Player?"

"All players?"

Ember's heart stirred, and instead of immediately responding to Aaron's invitation to join the team, he first activated 'Eye of Insight'.

Aaron Ferguson

Civilization: Level III

[Status: Second-Class Citizen]

Home planet: Titan

Rank: ???

【property:???】

【talent:???】

【…】

[Limit Relief: 0.3%]

[Evaluation: At your current rank, you cannot view more information...]

The Level 9 Eye of Insight allows you to view information about objects of level no higher than yourself.

In other words, this Hu Qing giant's rank is above his own, that is, above the sixteenth rank.

but……

"Relief of 0.3%?"

"What is this?"

Yu Jin frowned slightly, and at the same time activated his 'Eye of Insight' on himself.

【ember】

[Civilization: Level I]

Home planet: Earth

[Rank: Sixteen]

【…】

[Limit Relief: 1% (0% + 1%)]

[Review: More information unavailable]

Yu Jin frowned even more deeply.

Across from him, Aaron Ferguson stared at him for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"What a complete newbie!"

"Look at you like this..."

Could it be that he's wondering why he can't use his own attribute abilities?

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin remained calm and simply responded with a sound of agreement.

"Ha ha!"

"Wasteland Online is completely different from Wasteland. Although I don't know why you don't even know this most basic common sense, I'll give you a lesson since you're about to join Aaron's team."

Aaron was very enthusiastic and carefree. He laughed and even put his arm around Yu Jin's shoulder.

He pointed to the hundreds of people in the camp behind him and said slowly:

"Here."

"These guys you see would be level 20 max-level evolved beings in the Wasteland server!"

"Of course, I'm definitely the same."

"But those are the levels and abilities from the Wasteland game, you understand?"

"That's from a game, not real, and can't be brought into the real world."

"And now?"

"You, me, him, and them..."

"We are standing on a completely real planet!"

"The power of Wasteland Online can teleport us from the Ophelia Federation to this planet codenamed 'K-4' in a star system that is not even remotely distant."

"The level attributes and abilities we gained in Wasteland still exist, but they are restricted."

"Unrestriction" means removing limitations and bringing the extraordinary from the game into reality.

"The higher your unlock level, the stronger your combat power!"

At this point, Aaron paused, as if belatedly realizing what he had just said.

He stared intently into Yu Jin's eyes and said in an almost certain tone:
“You don’t even know what ‘lifting restrictions’ means? You’re not like a citizen of the Ophelia Federation at all.”

"You just came up from a low-dimensional server, right?"

"Maybe they haven't even gotten V-class citizenship yet?"

"Wait, that's not right. Where did you get that helmet from, and how did you even join Miss Athena's army?"

"Minimum living allowance? The minimum living allowance definitely doesn't include these..."

Aaron was talking to himself when suddenly his eyes widened.

"I rely on!"

"Hey kid, you didn't win the lottery, did you?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Besides winning the lottery, I can't imagine how someone who just ascended to a higher dimension could get a helmet and military qualifications!"

After listening, Yu Jin fell into deep thought.

This……

He originally wanted to make excuses and find some reason to conceal his identity.

result……

This guy explained everything to him.

What else is there to say?

"Correct!"

"That's it!"

Yu Jin nodded vigorously.

……

……

Camp Aron

Like the squad's name, the camp was named after the good brother 'Aaron Ferguson', which was very straightforward.

In the past half hour.

Aaron led Ember on a tour of the camp, greeting the other hundreds of team members and getting to know some of their faces.

It is worth mentioning that--

Ah Long is really a good person.

He didn't mention to anyone that Ember had won the lottery.

He even specifically instructed Yu Jin not to make this matter public.

"Many people in the camp are still only Class III citizens..."

"They value the 'Source Point' more than their own lives in order to improve their citizen status!"

"You are so frail, yet you possess such a large sum of money; you are bound to attract their covetousness."

"Although Miss Athena has explicitly forbidden infighting, once you're offline, they have plenty of ways to investigate your identity and address..."

Yu Jin nodded, indicating that he had made a note of it.

At the same time, he also raised a question.

"How exactly are the levels of restriction categorized?"

During the camp visit, Ember used 'Eye of Insight' to scan all the team members.

turn out--

The vast majority of people have a value of only 0.1% in the "Unlimited" column, only a very small number of people reach 0.2%, and even one-third of people have less than 0.1%, only a pitiful 0.0x.

The one with the highest value in this category in the camp is none other than our good brother Aaron, whose [Limit Reduction] value is 'as high' 0.3%.

But the problem is...

Yu Jin looked at his information.

[Limit Relief: 1% (0% + 1%)]

This……

It looks a bit tall.
the other side.

Aaron wasn't surprised to hear Ember's question.

He had already decided in his mind that Ember was the kind of newbie player who had just ascended to a higher dimension but was lucky enough to win the lottery.

Therefore, he patiently answered Yu Jin's questions:

"The limits are divided into 10 major levels and 100 minor levels, from low to high." "The major levels range from 1% to 10%."

"The lower level is 0.1%-1%."

"For example, my solution limit is 0.3%, which is a first-order third-level solution."

"You, solution limit value 0%, first order zero."

After listening, Yu Jin fell into deep thought.

and so……

1% solution limit = first-order max level?
I'm max level again?
Yu Jin was somewhat dazed.

He wondered in his mind what was going on with his unlock value.

After all, according to Aaron, these solution limits, which often have several decimal points, should be extremely difficult to improve.

But starting with 1% is clearly wrong.

Your actual unlock rate is 0%.

[This system includes a 1% parsing value (this value always exists)]

Yu Jin raised an eyebrow slightly.

He looked up at the half of the blue planet in the starry sky.

Embers recalled what happened before they traveled through time...

Gang Ge and his friends awakened during the closed beta of Wasteland, but their ranks were all sealed.

Only I can transform into a superman in a technological society, even though I am 99% suppressed.

99%? 1%?

At this point, it all matched perfectly.

However, Yu Jin still had many questions in his mind.

For example--

How can the solution value be improved?
Why are there only 100 sub-levels, meaning the highest is only 10%?

What happens above 10%?
Yu Jin didn't have a chance to ask the questions.

Om-!
A golden wave of light, visible to the naked eye, swept in from the far distance.

"The military order has arrived!"

Upon seeing this, Aaron let out a soft cry.

Inside the camp, the hundreds of team members who had been lounging around suddenly stood up straight and looked up at the sky with serious expressions.

Yu Jin didn't understand, but he did as he was told.

then……

Swish-!
As the golden light wave swept across the camp, a golden light curtain appeared in mid-air.

Inside the light screen was the face of a blonde woman.

"Miss Athena!"

Aaron and the others placed one hand in front of their chests and shouted in unison.

Ember followed suit and shouted something.

Inside the light screen, the blonde woman named 'Athena' glanced over indifferently before speaking.

"Aron's Squad!"

"Energy Hub 07 has appeared!"

"It is located approximately 200 kilometers southeast of your camp!"

"You are now ordered to wait—"

"Full speed ahead to the target location, defend Energy Hub 07!"

"You need to hold out for at least one hour. A reinforcement team will arrive in one hour!"

……

……

clatter--

Tap tap—!
Ember followed Aaron, traveling at a rapid pace.

In the team, the remaining hundreds of members also packed up their sci-fi tents and moved forward quickly with their heads down.

Although everyone's unlocking values ​​are very low, their original values ​​at level 20 are high enough that even with a 0.1% increase, their physique and abilities are still considered 'superhuman'.

but……

Yu Jin discovered that the actual values ​​of everyone were very different from his estimates.

The numerical value of a level 20 evolved being is unknown, but for a level 16 Ember, the numerical value has already exceeded 100 million.

1% of a hundred million should theoretically be 100 million.

However, what Ember actually sees through the 'numerical' attribute is...

My own score is only 10.

Aaron's score was even lower, at only 3.

This is undoubtedly unreasonable.

The numerical value of a level 20 evolved being should be at least one billion, if not tens of billions.

0.3% of one billion should be 3 million, but it is actually 300.

The embers were compressed tenfold, while Aron and the others were compressed a full hundredfold.

"why?"

"Could it be that when a lower dimension ascends to a higher dimension, the numerical values ​​are compressed...? But I didn't ascend to a higher dimension, yet I still logged into Wasteland Online, which is the reason for this difference?"

Yu Jin had a guess in his mind, but he had no way to confirm it for the time being.

At this moment, he was more concerned about the upcoming battle.

Yes, a battle.

Aaron told Ember—

The 07 energy hub they are going to guard will definitely be attacked by enemies.

The enemy might even be faster than them and have already arrived at their destination.

At that time, Aaron's team's mission will change from guarding the hub to retaking it.

The significance of the Nexus is unclear to Ember, and Aron hasn't had a chance to explain it either.

What Ember was curious about was—

Who is the enemy?

Other Wasteland Online players?

still is……

The kind of player Yufei mentioned who 'can draw upon the power of mutated beasts and infected beings'?

Swah——

Swish-

Thoughts shifted in and out.

The figures of the squad of over a hundred people turned into streaks of afterimages on the Martian desert.

Three hundred kilometers passed in the blink of an eye.

in fact……

If it weren't for taking good care of his older brother Aaron, Ember's speed could have been several times faster.

Although his attribute abilities were suppressed and he couldn't teleport back to Earth, he still had no problem activating various skills like 'Flash,' 'Flying Thunder God,' and 'Light Wings.'

With the support of a 10 value, three hundred kilometers can be covered in just a few breaths.

"It'll be there soon!"

"Aron's Squad"

"Get ready for battle!"

"Screw those scum!"

At the very front of the group, Aaron Ferguson shouted.

at the same time.

Ember finally saw what the so-called '07 Energy Hub' looked like.

It is pure white, growing from beneath the earth, and radiates a milky white light.

Yu Jin could sense that the light contained extremely abundant energy.

Swah——

It's too late, but it's soon.

With the team members averaging over 10,000 points, they arrived near the white pillar of light in just a few breaths.

then……

"alert!"

"Hold on, hold on until the reinforcements arrive!"

Aaron Ferguson shouted and drew a blood-red laser longsword from his waist.

Ember's gaze lingered on the lightsaber for a few more seconds.

This lightsaber was completely different from the ones he had previously seized from top players like Holland.

Swish—!
Following Aaron, the remaining hundreds of team members also drew their various laser swords.

Their lightsabers emanated auras of various elemental energies.

It has fire, ice, wind, and some other less common, relatively rare and special attributes.

"Is the longsword not a weapon, but more like a medium for exerting power?"

Yu Jin was still observing and speculating.

Bang-!
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared and knocked one of the team members away!
"Jie Jie—"

The dark figure continued to laugh strangely.

Yu Jin fell into deep thought.

Are there really people laughing 'hehehe'?
He didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.

While Yu Jin was lost in thought, the dark figure seemed to have its eyes on him.

Swish-!
A dark glint flashed by.

The dark shadow hurtled toward the embers!

"not good!"

"Hide!"

Captain Aaron saw this and shouted.

Can……

Bang bang bang——!
More shadowy figures emerged from the void and attacked the squad members!

As the team leader, Aaron was simultaneously attacked by three dark figures.

In the blink of an eye, they were at a disadvantage!

Before Yu Jin's eyes, the dark figure cackled and reached out to grab him.

this moment.

Yu Jin also got a clear look at the shadowy figure.

Humans, but not normal humans; rather, humans whose bodies emanate black mist, resembling infected beings.

Ember glanced at the numbers.

The shadowy figure's stats were found to be only 4, a full 6 lower than his own.

and so……

Ember raised his hand and extended a finger.

"?"

The shadowy figure in mid-air was bewildered upon seeing Yu Jin's actions.

no……

This human is so pretentious!
Trying to block his attack with just one finger?
It’s just...

Bang-!
The dark figure flew backward.

"Rubbish."

Yu Jin shook his head and gave a curt comment.

Around the white beam of light.

The two sides, who had been locked in fierce combat, suddenly fell silent...
