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

Chapter 185 A Million Subordinates Visit the City! Yu Chen: I've Become a Country Bumpkin!

| City.

Yu Chen's mind was completely blank until he returned to the city lord's mansion.

And his dozen or so trusted subordinates.

They became completely numb, losing all ability to think.

I thought——

The fact that the city lord has a ninth-rank elder brother is already astonishing.

Never thought——

His brother's subordinates were all at the ninth level, all of them at the ninth level!
In just this short time.

Inside the council hall of the city lord's mansion stood a dozen or so ninth-tier powerhouses!
This is crazy...

Even all the ninth-tier powerhouses on planet Z99 combined don't have this many!
Even more terrifying is...

According to that 'Hong Kong guy'...

Lord Yu Jin, who is also the city lord's older brother, kills ninth-rank beings as easily as killing chickens.

Its true level has reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Tenth rank?

Eleventh level?
Brother Hong told them—

Several months ago, Lord Ember had already killed dozens of tenth, eleventh, and even twelfth-tier evolved beings.

City Lord's Mansion.

Yu Jin sat atop the throne of the city lord.

He originally wanted Yu Chen to sit down, but the latter refused, saying something like, "How can the older brother stand while the younger brother sits?"

"Tell me about it."

"What exactly happened?"

"I'll back you up. We'll settle scores and avenge any wrongs. No one will get away with this."

Yu Jin looked at Yu Chen and spoke softly.

Yu Chen's previous account was only a general outline, without many details.

Now that everyone is present, let Yu Chen explain in detail.

"it is good."

Yu Chen nodded, temporarily suppressing the numbness and curiosity in his heart, and began to recount all his experiences since he transmigrated.

"The time travel happened, and I found that the surrounding environment was completely unfamiliar..."

"At that time, I still thought I was on planet A3, but soon I realized something was wrong..."

"This is Planet Z99, not the planet I was on during the closed beta..."

"Later, I awakened the 'sword' attribute, but was harassed by the lord of the refuge city, so I formed a force to resist..."

"After that, when I became the city lord, I learned of the existence of those who had reached the pinnacle of advancement, so I began to develop and expand the city..."

"Originally, everything was going very smoothly. Although it was impossible for City to catch up with the most recent promotion, there was still a good chance of promotion fifty years from now..."

"But Qili City..."

"..."

Yu Chen spoke at length.

Everyone listened in silence.

The last thing I heard was what Ember saw when he arrived in his Gundam.

The eighth-tier evolved beings of Qili City led an army of over 100,000 to besiege the city, intending to kill Yu Chen, the city lord.

"hateful!"

Old Yu had barely finished listening when he let out a loud curse.

"What kind of bullshit Seven Mile City is this?"

"Are you trying to bully my son?"

"Just for a mere ninth-tier crystal?"

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

Old Yu was cursing and swearing.

However, Yu Chen and his dozen or so trusted subordinates couldn't help but twitch their lips again.

"Just for a mere ninth-tier crystal?"

These words...

Something doesn't sound right no matter how you look at it.

That's a ninth-order crystal, the highest-level crystal!
hum-

next moment.

Before Yu Chen and the others, the void rippled slightly.

Sparkling crystals appeared one by one.

In front of Yu Chen floated ten ninth-order energy crystals and twenty eighth-order energy crystals, all of 100% purity.

Yu Jin generously gave each of his close confidants, including the bald giant, more than a dozen seventh and eighth-tier energy crystals.

For a while.

The atmosphere in the council chamber was quiet.

Gulu——!
a long time.

The sound of Yu Chen swallowing saliva, which he couldn't help, finally broke the silence.

"elder brother……"

"Are you cheating?"

"Should we just rob the Wasteland Shop?"

The words fell.

Inside the council chamber, Yin Yao and the others burst into laughter.

The atmosphere at the scene was relaxed and cheerful.

……

……

| City.

As a level 6 refuge city, it has a population of one million.

Today, the million people of the city are filled with excitement, trepidation, and curiosity.

They already knew—

The elder brother of the city lord has arrived here.

That's a truly terrifying big shot!

It is said that its rank has far exceeded the ninth rank!
Even his subordinates were all ninth-tier evolved beings!
Ninth rank?

This was incredibly distant and filled with awe for the city's million inhabitants.

And this moment.

The million subjects also all came out of the city gates and stood in orderly rows of square formations.

because……

Thanks to the city lord, they also had the opportunity to go to the 'sky' and visit the magnificent and enormous sky city above their heads.

Its name is 'Dawn City', and it is the city of the city lord's elder brother.

It is said that its total number of subjects has exceeded one hundred million!
What does it mean to have 100 million subjects?
They couldn't understand it, they couldn't even imagine it...

Swish-!
A gigantic pillar of light descended from the sky city overhead.

Beams of light enveloped millions of people.

then.

Om-!
Spatial fluctuations spread.

In a daze, when these millions of people opened their eyes again, they found themselves in an incredibly vast square.

This square is bigger than the entire city!

"This, this is the Sky City?"

Millions of people were extremely excited and curious at this moment. They cautiously looked up and looked around.

The scene that came into view made them feel...

It felt as if I had left the wasteland and was in an interstellar sci-fi metropolis!
Not to mention the magnificent Sky Ring and the cities situated on it, nor the towering Sky Tower in the city center.

The sheer number of skyscrapers and the dazzling array of sci-fi architecture that greeted them were enough to dazzle them.

"no……"

"Why is there still a subway?"

"Hovering subway? Flying car? Huh?"

"What is that?"

"Holy crap! They have KFC and McDonald's?"

"..."

In fact.

Since leaving Planet A3, Dawn City has undergone several months of development.

Despite the city's level remaining unchanged, Ember, having nothing better to do, kept buying various city facilities in the resource points shop.

This makes—

New facilities appear in Dawn City almost every few days these days.

The cityscape has also been changing again and again.

The phrase "changing with each passing day" perfectly describes Dawn City.

Not to mention these visitors from the city, even the local residents of Dawn City sometimes feel disoriented after a few days of seclusion and crystal consumption.

"Friends of the city—"

Welcome to Sky City of Dawn!

"I am your tour guide for this visit..."

Not long after.

On the square, figures descended from the sky.

With warm and friendly smiles on their faces, they each led groups of city residents away in an orderly fashion.

It is worth mentioning that.

The city's inhabitants soon discovered—

These tour guides were all seventh-tier evolutionists!
To know……

Their own city lord is only at the seventh rank!
On planet Z99.

Although a seventh-tier expert is not as powerful as an eighth or ninth-tier expert, they are still considered a strong individual.

Could it be here?

So it turns out I can only be a tour guide...

……

……

Sky Tower.

Top of the tower.

Yu Chen looked down at the sight of Dawn City, speechless for a long time.

He had always felt that—

In just a few months, he was able to become a seventh-tier evolver and build a level 6 city, which was definitely a remarkable achievement.

But now?
After meeting his older brother, Ember, in Dawn City.

Yu Chen felt like that mud-covered country bumpkin.

No, that's not right.

It's not that fashionable. Compared to Dawn City, | City can hardly be called a city; it's more like a small village.

after all……

Through the introduction of Yin Yao and others, Yu Chen learned that the ten affiliated cities on the Sky Ring were all level 8 refuge cities!

The Seven Mile City, which he had previously considered a major enemy, was actually only a level 8 refuge city...

"Smash it."

"Is your brother's Dawn City any good?"

Old Yu's mental state has been remarkably good ever since he met Yu Chen.

Seeing Yu Chen staring blankly at the city below, she leaned over and tugged at his shoulder.

"Not only can, it's simply, it's simply..."

Yu Chen stammered for a long time, but no follow-up came out.

He was at a loss for words and couldn't find any adjectives to use.

"Haha."

This reaction made Old Yu laugh like a chrysanthemum once again.

"dad……"

"Could you tell me about my brother's experiences over this period of time...?"

Yu Chen was really curious about how his brother had managed to do all this.

Old Yu was naturally happy to oblige, and he began to tell Yu Chen the story, nodding and swaying his head.

And behind the two of them.

Yu Jin smiled slightly as he watched this scene.

"My Lord——"

"Based on Yu Chen's description, I used Dawn City's detection facilities to locate the coordinates of that Seven Mile City."

Neil walked up behind Ember and respectfully reported.

"Ah."

Yu Jin nodded.

Should we depart now?

"Suppress Qili City?"

Neil asked respectfully.

"can."

As Yu Jin finished speaking.

Standing to the side, Yin Yao, Naya, Lao Cui, Chen Gang, and others were all eager to try their hand at it.

After reuniting with Ember's brother, they both had some thoughts on how to make a good impression!

especially……

According to Yu Chen's description and Neil's exploration, the Z99 planet is much more powerful than the previous wasteland planets.

There are nearly ten ninth-tier evolvers alone.

A ninth-tier evolver?
For Yin Yao and the others, it was the perfect sandbag to hone their combat skills!
……

……

Planet Z99.

Area 80.

Qilicheng is located in the center of the region.

As a level 8 refuge city, its total population is as high as ten million.

On the ranking list of planet Z99, Qili City has entered the top ten, ranking ninth.

this means--

In this final month, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Seven Mile City's promotion to a star system wasteland is a foregone conclusion.

now.

Inside the city lord's mansion, which is as magnificent as a palace.

Sagawa Iku, naked, was half-lying down.

On either side of him, young maids kneaded and massaged him.

"Finally, finally I'm getting promoted..."

Sagawa Iku was in a great mood, with a bright smile.

Every now and then, he would reach out and tease, kneading the maid beside him.

To get to where he is today, he has spent over seventy years struggling on Planet Z99.

Now there is only one month left until the promotion.

Sagawa Ikuya completely relaxed and prepared to enjoy a life like an emperor.

after all……

After the promotion, a new journey begins.

"grown ups."

A sound came from outside the palace.

"explain."

Sagawa Yu lazily rolled over and casually pinched the maid's body.

"The troops we sent to City..."

"They've lost contact!"

The reports coming from outside the palace carried a hint of tension.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Sagawa Iku paused in his movement of turning over.

"Lost contact?"

Sagawa Iku frowned.

To ensure everything went perfectly, he specifically sent four additional eighth-tier evolvers over.

Where is Mitsuta Fukuda?

Sagawa Iku asked in a deep voice.

"Can't get in touch..."

Outside the palace, the sound grew fainter and fainter.

"Can't get in touch with them either?"

Sagawa Iku's eyes narrowed slightly.

Fukuda Mitsuta is one of his top three subordinates, and his rank has already reached the limit of the eighth rank, only one step away from the ninth rank!
Logically speaking, on this planet Z99, unless other ninth-tier city lords intervene, Fukuda Mitsuta could have escaped unscathed even if he was no match for them.

"Have other cities intervened?"

"That little girl from Phoenix Leap City?"

Sagawa Iku's thoughts kept churning.

In this vicinity, the only possibility he could think of was that another level 8 refuge city, Phoenix Leap City, had intervened in the affairs of the city.

Zuo Chuanyu had a deep impression of the young city lord named Yu Chen.

Originally, he didn't want to push him to the brink of death.

but……

That kid's luck is just too incredible.

They even encountered a heavily injured level nine infected.

Not only did we encounter it, but it actually dropped a ninth-tier energy crystal!

Ninth-order energy crystal...

Such precious resources were something that even Sagawa Ikuya coveted.

He is currently only at the early stage of the ninth rank, and the ninth-rank crystal is of great help to him.

Not long ago, he sent an envoy.

The young man said he was willing to offer up the crystal.

However, after careful consideration, Sagawa Iku decided to eliminate the threat completely.

Only children make choices; I, Sagawa Iku, want them all!
He wants the crystal, and he also wants Yu Chen's life!

after all……

With only one month left, he didn't want any unexpected changes.

At the same time, Yu Chen's potential and rate of improvement are too astonishing. Zuo Chuan Yu is worried that if that kid advances in fifty years, he might cause trouble for him in the star system wasteland.

Sagawa Iku pondered for a long time before finally standing up.

The maids on either side draped robes over him.

Swah——

Sagawa Iku stepped out and appeared outside the palace.

"Tell me carefully!"

"What exactly happened in the city?!"

Sagawa Iku's voice was low and somber.

but……

The voice just fell.

boom--!
Boom——!
Loud noises echoed from the sky.

The once clear sky gradually darkened.

"Ok?"

Sagawa Iku frowned slightly, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

whoosh-

With a slight push of his feet, he soared into the sky.

Sagawa Iku stood in the air above Shichiri Castle, gazing at the enormous, faintly visible phantom above the clouds, his eyes filled with doubt.

"That……"

"What is it?"

Sagawa Iku has a long history on planet Z99. Even the top two ninth-tier city lords have seen him and had some interaction with him.

But he was completely baffled by the illusory figures in the clouds and had no idea what they were.

"Look again."

Despite feeling inexplicably panicked, Iku Sagawa, a ninth-order evolved being at the top of the food chain on planet Z99, managed to remain calm.

Boom——!
There was another loud noise.

at this time.

The millions of citizens of Qili City all looked up at the sky.

then……

They witnessed the most unforgettable moment of their lives!
A colossal sky city, beyond imagination, appeared in the clouds!

Swah——

A white light illuminated the sky.

Below the Sky City, countless figures, stretching as far as the eye could see, appeared one after another.

Their total number has already exceeded 100 million!
Their presence was so strong it was suffocating!

At the very front of them, a young man cast a detached, downward gaze.

That look...

It was as if I were looking at millions of corpses that were already dead!
