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

Chapter 194 Carol: My Lord, I'm Here! Dawn City Descends on the Novice Village!

Wasteland in the Drake-3 system.

R-1007 star system, southwest.

Around the unclaimed planet No. 01.

One after another, interstellar fortresses lay dormant like giant dragons.

some of.

In addition to a number of large, medium and small fortresses.

It also has three super-large interstellar fortresses comparable in size to asteroids.

A fleet of futuristic interstellar warships circled around the fortress.

Deep in the starry sky.

The Sigma drone, standing 1,000 meters tall, stood silently.

This is where Carol and five million Blue Star players are located.

Three months have passed since the war with the three fortresses of Celsa.

In these three months, the Celsa civilization has not sent a single warship to this star system.

Meanwhile, nearly five million players of the Blue Star civilization were simultaneously accelerating planetary development and consuming crystals to level up during this period.

nowadays.

The overall strength of Blue Star players has risen several levels compared to three months ago.

Tang Yunxuan and the others who were among the first to land had already reached the eighth level.

If it weren't for the pollution level restrictions, there would probably already be level nine players on the unclaimed planet 01 by now.

Besides.

Commander Carol also broke through again from her original twelfth rank.

Without considering 'Benefit Link', her own rank also increased to rank thirteen.

now.

Planet 01, an unclaimed planet, has been completely occupied by Carol and her forces.

Meanwhile, Carol also dispatched many warships during this period to continue searching for the whereabouts of other unclaimed planets in the surrounding star systems.

It is worth mentioning that.

During their exploration of the star system, Carol's fleet encountered the Larnaca civilization's fleet.

However, the latter did not launch an attack.

even……

Carol's fleet also received a radio communication from the other side:

"Thank you for severely damaging the Celsa civilization fleet!"

"You are friends of the Larnaca civilization!"

Carol was somewhat surprised by this, but after thinking about the stalemate between the two civilizations of Celsa and Larnaca over the years, she quickly felt relieved.

Time passes slowly.

On Planet 01, which has no owner.

More than 100 days have passed since nearly five million players from the Blue Star civilization traveled to the galactic wasteland.

They have gradually adapted to life here.

but……

Whether it was a fortress commander like Tang Yunxuan or an ordinary fleet member, there was always a weight on their minds that had not yet been lifted.

"Lord Lord!"

"The supreme lord is about to descend upon this place!"

Carol would announce similar words to everyone every now and then.

The players on Earth have already witnessed the lord's abilities firsthand.

Star Destroyer, drone mechs, quantum resonance splitters, mega-interstellar fortresses...

In just a few months.

Even though the lord did not appear in person, he still used his extraordinary power to deploy these war resources here.

It is precisely because of these war resources that the five million players on Earth are able to enjoy peace and stability today.

But everything comes at a price.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Carol told everyone herself—

What the lord wants is their absolute loyalty!
"hope……"

"That lord should not have a personality that is too strange or violent."

"hope……"

"He is a good lord who is both handsome and kind-hearted."

Similar remarks have been rampant in recent days on Planet 01, the unclaimed planet, and within various fleet fortresses.

Inside the Y-03 small fortress.

Tang Yunxuan, dressed in a crisp commander's uniform, stared blankly at the deep starry sky outside the porthole.

"Old Yu..."

"When exactly are you going to be able to advance to the galactic wasteland?"

"Dude, I've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon!"

Behind Tang Yunxuan, several deputy commanders shook their heads and chuckled upon hearing these words.

Over the past three months, they have heard similar words countless times; their ears are practically calloused from hearing them.

They now understand—

That "Old Yu" was Commander Tang's best friend from his time on Earth, but he was transported to the wasteland of the planet during the Great Cataclysm.

The best of the best in a planetary wasteland have the opportunity to be promoted to a galactic wasteland.

but……

The galaxies are so vast.

Finding a person in the vast wasteland of a galaxy is more difficult than searching for sand in the ocean.

Not to mention……

Whether "Old Yu" can advance to the Star System Wasteland is still unknown.

of course.

They would only mutter these thoughts to themselves, not daring to voice them, lest they incur the wrath of their fortress commander.

"but……"

"I've been really bored lately!"

"All the minerals on the planet have been mined out."

"The infected mutated beasts have also been almost completely wiped out."

"Now I'm strangely missing the days when we fought the Celsa civilization's fleet..."

The deputy commanders exchanged glances and couldn't help but sigh.

According to Commander-in-Chief Carol—

For a considerable period of time in the future.

Everyone has only two tasks—

First, find and develop unclaimed planets to acquire resources for the lord.

Second, we silently await the arrival of the supreme lord.

"I wonder when that lord will finally arrive?"

The commanders' muttering had just ended.

[Buzz——! 】

Suddenly.

Inside Y-03, a communication prompt tone sounded.

Bright red communication lights symbolize the highest level of communication in the fleet!

Just for a moment.

Tang Yunxuan and the vice commander behind him, including all the fleet members inside the Y-03 fortress, tensed up instantly.

【Highest order! 】

【Highest order! 】

[Within a single day, all fortresses, fleets, and mechs have assembled!]

[One day from now, all fortresses, fleets, and mechs will undergo a long-distance space jump!]

[Coordinates: P-8808 star system!]

【That is……】

[The Land Where the Supreme Lord Descends!]

【…】

Carol's solemn yet excited voice echoed throughout all the fortress fleets.

"coming?"

"It's really coming!"

"That mysterious lord?"

In an instant.

The same thought arose in the minds of nearly five million Blue Star players.

Inside Y-02 Fortress.

Yin Zhenzhong, who served as the commander-in-chief, had a solemn expression.

He took a deep breath and looked into the depths of the starry sky.

"hope……"

"The Blue Star civilization has encountered a good lord."

although.

He and the other five million Blue Star players had already boarded the 'lord's' ship the moment Carol first discovered them.

But the moment I actually met that lord...

He couldn't help but feel nervous and uneasy.

【Highest order! 】

【…】

Inside the fortress.

Carol's communication commands echoed incessantly.

Not long after.

The spaceships that were still on the unclaimed planet 01 roared into space and landed at the fortress.

Meanwhile, all the major fortresses and fleets were busily preparing.

Star chart shows—

The distance between the R-1007 star system and the P-8808 star system is extremely vast.

Although Carol has decided to disregard energy loss and use high-power space jumps throughout the process.

However, the route will inevitably pass through the territories of other civilizations.

Therefore, Carol and her fleet must also be fully prepared for friction or war.

Time passes slowly.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Boom—

Boom——!
Planet 01 is unclaimed, and Carol left behind the coordinates for a space jump.

Beyond the planet.

Fortresses and fleets were arranged in an orderly fashion.

It is a magnificent sight from afar.

"Leap, initiate!"

Carol issued a communication.

hum-

Buzz—!
Extremely intense spatial fluctuations spread outwards from the three super-large fortresses.

Other small and medium-sized fortresses and fleets were also linked and bound to the super-large fortress in advance—which allowed them to jump together with the super-large fortress.

At the center of the three super-large fortresses stands a massive, shimmering silver ring.

That's the 'Quantum Resonance Disintegration Emitter,' the Carole Fleet's biggest trump card.

Over the past three months.

Its cooling process after the last startup has ended.

Furthermore, Carol specifically sought out a nearby medium-sized star to power it.

"No civilization or power can stop us from going to see the lord!"

"If it exists, it will vanish into thin air!"

These are Carol's exact words to everyone before they set off.

This also demonstrates the firmness of their determination.

Boom——!
Deep in the starry sky.

An ultra-large spatial passageway emerged.

Whoosh-!
Fortresses and fleets were swallowed up by it.

"Lord Lord!"

"Carol..."

"On its way!"

The moment of entering the space jump channel.

Carol sent a message to Ember in her mind.

……

……

P-8808 star system.

Unlike other star systems in the surrounding area.

This star field is filled with thick nebula dust.

Within the universe, nebulae and dust are the breeding ground for planets and stars.

However, in the galactic wasteland, these nebulae and dust act as a 'protective shield for newbies'.

Even if ordinary advanced civilizations know that there are many unclaimed planets in this star system, they would not easily venture into it to explore.

Just because——

New players who have been promoted will be protected by the rules of the galactic wasteland before leaving their respective initial landing planets.

Only after they break out of this nebula will the newbie protection period truly end.

That will also be the time for advanced civilizations to reap the rewards.

Just like now.

Beyond the P-8808 star system.

Fortresses and fleets have already quietly taken up residence here.

"Judging by the time, this period should be the time when a new batch of low-level civilization players are promoted..."

"Hahaha, we've been waiting for this day for so long!"

"Hopefully, these players will step up their game and more of them will be able to upgrade to micro or even small fortresses!"

"Yes, seizing a fortress from them is much more cost-effective than spending Source Points to buy one from the Wasteland Marketplace!"

"By the way..."

"After lying dormant for so long, the mysterious and powerful Celestial Civilization seems to have also taken an interest in promoting new players?"

“That’s right. I heard they’ve sent quite a few fortresses and fleets to advancement star systems like P-8808!”

"Strange, given the strength and foundation of the Celestial Civilization, they shouldn't care about such a small amount of money from new players at all..."

"Who knows!"

"After all, the advancement of the Star Wasteland is not far off. Perhaps this is preparation for the advancement!"

"How could we, the bottom ten thousand who couldn't even squeeze in, possibly understand the thoughts of such a big shot as the number one ranked figure?"

"..."

Beyond the star system.

Wireless communications were transmitted between the fortress and the fleet.

Each civilized force was passing the time with idle chatter and discussion.

after all……

Based on past experience and patterns.

For players from lower-level civilizations to advance beyond the Nebula Dust, also known as the newbie protection village, it would take at least a month.

……

……

P-8808 star system, northeast corner.

On an unclaimed planet codenamed 'Enlightenment'.

Buzz—!
Waves of space rippled violently.

On the once empty planet.

Refuge cities of varying sizes and shapes emerged in the void across different regions of the planet.

"This……"

"This is the galactic wasteland?"

"Why do we not see any galaxies, but are still on planets instead?"

Some of the newly arrived players were expressing their amazement at this moment.

More often, however, they calmed down in the shortest amount of time and quickly digested and absorbed the game rules transmitted by the Galactic Wasteland server.

"Newbie protection zone?"

"P-8808 star system?"

"Earn Source Points to improve your ranking?"

"Is this planet the very beginning?"

"Compete for planetary resources, kill mutated beasts and infected creatures on the planet, and continue to upgrade the level of the refuge city..."

"..."

Those who can advance from the servers of low-dimensional planets to become refugees and city lords are all top ten performers in their respective wasteland planets.

They quickly digested this information and took swift action.

boom--

Boom——!
The gates of the refuge cities opened one by one.

Teams of evolved beings ventured out of the city.

"Explore first, then develop!"

"Take steady and solid steps, upgrade the fortress as soon as possible, and break out of the planet!"

"..."

If you look down from above the planet, you'll see—

At this moment, exactly one hundred refuge cities appeared on the morning star.

some of.

The vast majority are level 8 refuge cities.

The number of level 9 refuge cities is extremely limited.

And a level 10 refuge city...

There is only one.

It was Dawn City, suspended above the clouds above the planet.

boom--

Boom——!
Unlike other level 8 and 9 refuge cities.

The moment Dawn City landed on the Morning Star, it automatically began a new round of advancement.

Under the rules of the Galactic Wasteland server—

A level 10 refuge city is equivalent to a miniature interstellar refuge fortress.

Time passes slowly.

In the blink of an eye.

One day passed.

During this day, the lords and subjects of the other 99 refuge cities under the Morning Star were still exploring their surroundings.

period.

Many teams in the refuge cities unexpectedly encountered high-level mutated beasts and infected creatures on the planet.

They discovered—

On this planet, the lowest rank of mutated beasts and infected creatures is rank seven.

In some of these lairs, there are terrifying monsters of level ten and above.

"Danger!"

"Even the starting village is dangerous!"

The joy and excitement that the city lords had felt due to their promotion vanished completely within a single day.

"Play it safe and develop your strength!"

At this moment, all 99 lords of the refuge cities made the exact same decision.

but……

above the sky.

Boom——!
A loud bang echoed throughout the entire Morning Star.

"what's the situation?"

"what?"

"A mutated beast of rank 10 or higher has descended?"

"..."

Countless gazes from all corners of the planet turned toward the sky.

among them.

The lords of more than a dozen refuge cities in the central Northern Hemisphere witnessed a scene they would never forget.

That is……

Above the planet's clouds.

A sci-fi fortress, hundreds of times larger than their respective refuge cities, slowly descended towards the land below!
