Chapter 174 A Major Upgrade for the People! A Blueprint for the Future! Personally Infusing Energy into Neil!

A4 Wasteland Planet.

Outside of Liuying City.

The hundreds of millions of citizens of Dawn City almost filled the entire wasteland.

At the front of the people's procession, at the position closest to the gate of Liuying City.

Nearly a hundred figures with exceptionally powerful auras stood silently with their heads bowed.

They are all native inhabitants of planet A4.

They were all seventh-tier limit and eighth-tier evolvers.

Among them are even three eighth-tier limit evolvers, who are only one step away from the ninth tier.

Their situation was extremely similar to that of Naya back then. They were unable to break through to the ninth rank simply because their own level of contamination had reached its limit. If they continued to consume crystals, they would become infected.

"I wonder if that sir would be willing to take us in..."

The leading man, at the eighth level of the limit, murmured softly.

On planet A4, given his rank, he was a renowned level 8 refuge city lord.

Apart from that ninth-rank 'Invincible Heavenly King', he is almost unmatched.

But now?
He silently prayed that he could become an ordinary citizen of Dawn City.

Dawn City, which the A4 natives generally call the 'Sky City', possessed terrifying power that allowed it to subjugate everyone on the entire planet in just five days.

and……

The higher the level of the evolved being, the clearer their understanding of the terror and power of Dawn City.

The man looked up cautiously at the figures above the city gate.

They were all ninth-tier evolvers!
Their number is close to that of two hands!

What’s even more exaggerated is…

These nearly ten ninth-tier evolved beings all obeyed the orders of that 'City Lord'.

The man has yet to see the legendary 'Lord of the City'.

But he, and countless others on planet A4, knew—

The invincible Heavenly King of the ninth rank was slapped to death by that person from a distance, without even having a chance to resist.

That level of strength completely exceeded everyone's imagination, even...

Many natives of Planet A4 speculated whether that person had already reached the level above the ninth rank.

Time passes slowly.

Nearly a hundred high-level evolved beings from Planet A4 all harbored thoughts similar to those of men.

They were waiting, waiting for that person's response.

Swah——

Suddenly.

A flash of light appeared before everyone's eyes.

Yin Yao's figure became visible.

She stood in the air, looking down at the hundred high-level evolvers.

"The city lord has granted your application to enter the city."

A simple sentence, yet it excited hundreds of high-level evolvers.

"I'll wait—"

"I swear to fight for Dawn City, even if it means going through fire and water!"

They looked at each other and shouted the same slogan in unison.

Upon hearing this, Yin Yao's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

This slogan...

Not quite 'Dawn City'.

But she didn't specifically correct them. Once they joined and became familiar with the group, they would naturally know which two words to shout.

hum-

Above the sky, the void trembled slightly.

An indescribable surge of energy swept out instantly.

Yin Yao quickly turned around and looked at the sky.

The group of ninth-tier evolved beings in front of Liuying City also raised their heads in perfect unison.

"This……"

Is that lord about to show himself?

The man at the eighth level of the limit, along with nearly a hundred other high-level evolvers from Planet A4, were shaken to their core.

They cautiously raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

hum-

In the void, Ember stepped out.

Behind him, on either side, were the Momono and Momono sisters.

"Loyalty!"

Ember has just appeared.

The next moment, deafening slogans and shouts resounded across the wasteland.

The commotion of hundreds of millions of people shouting together even shook the sky and the earth.

Behind Yu Jin, the Momono sisters watched this scene with their hearts trembling!

These hundreds of millions of evolved beings...

They're all the adults' subordinates!

Their postures were all fervent and devout!

"good."

Ember's gaze swept over the figures on the ground below.

Looking around -

The ability levels of eighth and ninth-tier evolvers are basically at level 8 or even level 9.

Sixth and seventh-tier evolvers also generally have level 6 and level 7.

The majority of fourth and fifth-tier evolvers have ability levels that are basically lv4 or lv5.

In the past five days, although the evolutionary rank of the citizens of Dawn City has not been greatly improved, the maximum level of their abilities has allowed them to unleash more than double the combat power they had before.

"In that case, then..."

"As the city lord, I should also do something."

Ember murmured softly, his voice reaching everyone's ears.

this moment.

Hundreds of advanced evolved beings from Planet A4 were still completely bewildered.

The rest of the inhabitants of Dawn City, however, cheered with excitement.

"Loyalty!"

Amidst the resounding slogans chanted by hundreds of millions of people once again.

whoosh-

Whizzing--!
With a flick of the fingertip, the embers were extinguished.

One after another, milky-white beams of light descended from the sky.

Each beam of light has a diameter that is staggering tens of thousands of meters.

The figures on the wasteland were instantly enveloped by the pillar of light.

"Ah~!"

"..."

Despite being repeatedly baptized by the light of purification, many of the subjects, especially those of lower evolutionary rank, still let out groans of shame and pleasure.

At the city gate of Liuying.

Jiang Haochuan was on high alert, his expression more serious than ever before.

He absolutely, absolutely cannot...

"Ah~!"

Jiang Haochuan let out the strangest groan of his life, the nth one.

"?"

The hundred high-level evolved beings on planet A4 looked at each other, completely bewildered.

This is……

What approach?
Could it be that the city lord's attributes are...?

"Ah~!"

Their chaotic thoughts came to an abrupt halt the moment the beam of light descended from above.

Each high-level evolved being emitted a far greater and denser black mist than any other citizen of Dawn City.

Their contamination levels are being cleared at a visible rate.

"This this……"

Behind Yu Jin, the Momono sisters were both dumbfounded.

"I almost forgot about you two."

Upon hearing the sound, Yu Jin realized what was happening and casually pointed at the two of them.

"Ah~!"

"Iku~!"

……

boom--

Boom——!
Inside the City of Shadows.

Tens of thousands of people felt the tremors of the planet beneath their feet and watched the enormous sky city soar higher and higher until it was completely swallowed up by the clouds.

Dawn City's stay on planet A4 was extremely short, lasting only five days.

Five days is but a drop in the ocean on the scale of planetary history.

but……

Fifty years, five hundred years, or even five thousand years from now.

On this wasteland planet A4, legends about the Sky City still circulate.

Ding--!
Just like when I left Planet A3.

With a crisp sound, signifying that the 'planet jump permission' had been successfully verified by the A4 rules, Dawn City once again plunged into the boundless starry sky.

Inside Dawn City.

The newly joined hundred high-level evolved beings looked through the sky above them at the dark and deep space, feeling exactly the same as, or even more so than, the people of Dawn City.

"This is the starry sky!"

"This is what the outside world of Planet A4 looks like..." They sighed and exclaimed repeatedly.

then……

Yin Yao sent people to take them to the inner city's martial arts arena area.

With Yu Jin's permission, Yin Yao is preparing to form a special 'quasi-cannon fodder' legion of these high-level evolved beings from alien planets.

Sky Tower.

core zone.

Ember's gaze fell upon the star map before him.

"Planet Z99..."

Yu Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing the information transmitted to him by the 'Starry Sky' property.

The star-gazing feature allows for the estimation of approximate travel time after the destination has been locked.

And now?
"70 days."

"More than two months."

Yu Jin spoke softly, informing Yin Yao and the others present of the result.

The words fell.

Old Yu, staring longingly at the embers, showed a hint of disappointment on his face.

"It's been so long..."

Three months have passed since he transmigrated to the present day, and he still hasn't seen his youngest son, Yu Chen, so he's naturally worried about him.

but……

Yu Jin also told him that Yu Chen was in good condition and that he shouldn't worry.

However, as a father, Old Yu still hopes to see his son as soon as possible.

"For the next period of time, Dawn City will sail at full speed toward Z99."

"You don't need to worry about Dawn City's energy source; I have made ample preparations."

"so……"

"As long as the space jump cooldown ends, you can keep jumping, shortening the time."

Yu Jin looked at Yin Yao and Neil and made arrangements.

"understand!"

"President/My Lord!"

Yu Jin nodded and looked at the projected flight path outlined on the star map.

Near the flight path, there are wasteland planets that are extremely close by.

"Once you find a suitable planet, you will discuss and decide whether to stay."

"There are still 95 days until we are promoted to the Star System Wasteland. I hope that when we are promoted, the overall strength of the citizens of Dawn City, especially their ability level, will reach a new level."

As Yu Jin finished speaking.

Everyone present responded in unison.

"What other ideas do you have regarding the development of Dawn City?"

Yu Jin glanced around, his tone becoming somewhat solemn.

The city of Dawn today is vastly different in size from what it once was.

Although Ember's individual power remains extremely high, the development of cities and even civilizations is not significantly related to individual power.

Upon hearing Yu Jin's words, everyone present fell silent for a moment, lost in thought.

They weren't just coming up with ideas on the spot; they had planned it beforehand and were simply organizing their thoughts.

After a moment of silence.

Jiang Haochuan spoke first, proposing the idea of establishing a class system for citizens of Dawn City.

He suggested dividing the inhabitants of Dawn City into three, six, and nine classes for differentiation.

The rank of a citizen is linked to their level of contribution.

Contribution points are a system that has been implemented in Dawn City for a long time.

"good."

Yu Jin nodded. He thought of the Level III civilization, the Ophelia Federation, which had a clear division of citizen classes.

"Anymore?"

Ember looked at the others.

Yin Yao proposed—

Form squads and legions of Evolvers to prepare for future wars.

She was already working on this, but it was just a small-scale operation and had not been rolled out on a large scale in Dawn City.

Nyar proposed—

The next phase of interstellar travel involves a gap between landing on any planet.

Conducting 'real combat training' and even 'evolver arena matches' within the city is intended to hone and improve the combat experience and abilities of the citizens of Dawn City.

Yufei proposed—

Regular 'knowledge lectures' are held within Dawn City to enhance the citizens' understanding of the Evolver's rank and attribute abilities.

At the same time, it also allowed them to understand the game rules and war modes of the future 'galactic wasteland' in advance.

Wang Yunpeng proposed—

Within Dawn City, promising geniuses with outstanding attributes are selected and given preferential treatment in terms of resources.

In the future, these geniuses will be cultivated into the backbone of Dawn City.

……

Various suggestions were made, and everyone contributed their ideas.

The more Yu Jin listened, the more gratified he became.

For the next half day...

Yu Jin, along with Yin Yao and other senior executives, discussed and refined the feasibility of these suggestions one by one.

Finally, Yu Jin personally appointed the person in charge of each matter.

call--

When everything settled down, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although it was somewhat mentally taxing, but...

Everyone's heart is filled with anticipation at this moment.

Everyone seemed to see...

The future of Dawn City is becoming increasingly prosperous!

……

Sky Tower, the city lord's residential area.

Yu Jin lay on the luxurious 50-meter-long bed.

After a busy half-day, all arrangements for Dawn City have been completed.

Ember is also preparing to log back into Wasteland Online to further enhance his personal power and collect new rewards, paving the way for future advancement to the Star System Wasteland.

But before that, Ember had some personal matters to attend to.

"My Lord..."

In the corner of the luxurious king-size bed, Neil leaned slightly forward and called out softly.

For once, her face, which gleamed with a mechanical sheen, conveyed a rare hint of shyness.

She stayed here because her master wanted to help her break through to the ninth rank.

Can……

Neil didn't know exactly how to break through.

But her intuition told her that perhaps they were getting a little too close.

Neil did not resist such closeness; on the contrary, he longed for it.

only……

She was worried that her mechanical nature might hurt her master.

During the previous attempt, even with the owner using hardening techniques, it seemed that the person was not very comfortable.

Neil was somewhat disappointed; for the first time, she felt frustrated by her 'mechanical' nature.

On the other side of the big bed.

The Momono sisters, who took over Nya's original role as her personal maid, crawled on their stomachs with their buttocks sticking out high, and also cast curious glances over.

"That, that kind of..."

"Could a mechanical girl be possible too?"

The Momono sisters didn't understand, but were deeply shocked and full of anticipation.

"Come."

Yu Jin sat up and called out.

After a while.

"mechanical!"

"hardening!"

"Metalization!"

"Rapid proliferation!"

"..."

All sorts of abilities, especially with the added benefit of the 'mechanical' attribute.
