Wasteland's Only King-Chapter 91 - 87: You Suppressed a Tier Ten Star System-Level Mutant Beast

Chapter 91: Chapter 87: You Suppressed a Tier Ten Star System-Level Mutant Beast

[...]

Good news—

Yu Jin can now break through the Tier Nine server cap and keep leveling up all the way to Tier Twelve.

Bad news—

"This A3 Wasteland Planet tops out at Tier Nine, and I’m not even sure if there are any Tier Nine Infected Bodies or Mutant Beasts..."

"Where am I supposed to break through to Tier Twelve?"

"Just grinding Tier Eight, or even Tier Nine Crystals?"

"Not very realistic..."

Yu Jin had barely finished that thought when fresh text popped up on his interface—

[Against all odds, you managed to suppress ’Tier Eight Mutant Beast—Sand Scorpion Leader’! Wasteland Points +1,000,000!]

[Resource acquired: Tier Seven Energy Crystal *1]

[Against all odds, you struggled and suppressed ’Tier Nine Infected Body—Mika Hawk’! Wasteland Points +5,000,000!]

[Resource acquired: Tier Nine Energy Crystal *1]

[Against all odds, you went up tiers and suppressed ’Tier Ten Star System-Level Mutant Beast—Thorny Earth Dragon King’! Wasteland Points +8,000,000!]

[Resource acquired: Tier Nine Energy Crystal *1]

...

Yu Jin fell into deep thought.

Sand Scorpion Leader, Tier Eight?

Mika Hawk, Tier Nine?

Thorny Earth Dragon King, Tier Ten?

Isn’t this talking about those Tier Six and Tier Seven Mutant Beasts and Infected Bodies that I just ganked outside Dawn City and turned into gifs?

"Good stuff."

"The Void bumped up three tiers, huh?"

Yu Jin pieced it together.

Brother Tongzi glitched the system again!

"My lord—"

Neil’s respectful voice snapped Yu Jin’s train of thought.

"Your subordinates await your command."

Neil spoke softly.

Yu Jin snapped out of it, shifting his gaze from the interface.

He’ll dig into this system business later.

Right now, it’s task distribution time.

After all...

The ground around the city for miles is still littered with Infection Crystals and Energy Crystals of all tiers!

Those Low-Tier Crystals may be useless for Yu Jin, but they’re absolutely primo resources for leveling up his subordinates.

"Chen Gang!"

Yu Jin called out.

"Here!"

Chen Gang strode forward, his gaze as resolute as if he was about to save-check. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Take all evolvers with you. Go outside the city and collect every crystal. Problem?"

As soon as the words landed—

Chen Gang’s eyes lit up like crazy.

Crystals!

Crystals are awesome!

Even better than gold!

He never expected Yu Jin would trust him with such an important job!

"No problem!"

Chen Gang shouted aloud.

And then—

Chen Gang didn’t waste any time. With almost a thousand evolvers in the council hall, heads held high and backs straight, he marched straight out of the City Lord’s Mansion and ran for the city outskirts.

"Wang Yunpeng!"

Yu Jin called another name.

"Huh?"

"Here!"

From the Environmental Protection Club crowd, a thin guy stepped out.

He seriously hadn’t expected the club president to actually remember his name.

Originally, he was going for the Gaming Club, but when he heard there’d be bonus credits he ’switched sides last minute’ and joined the Environmental Protection Club instead.

He thought he’d get sidelined, but...

"Take the new Environmental Club members and count up the number of refugees inside the city, register their info."

"Make sure to record how long each of them has been in Dawn City."

"Any questions?"

Wang Yunpeng stood upright and blurted: "No problem!"

Wang Yunpeng never imagined that a regular guy like him, not even awakened, would still get trusted by the president—no, the City Lord!

"LOYALTY!!"

He yelled, voice echoing, then led over forty new Environmental Protection Club recruits out of the council hall.

Funny thing is—

As they left, all forty-plus copied Wang Yunpeng, shouting ’Loyalty!’

Every single face was pulsing with excitement and surprise!

Ordinary people have zero value in the wasteland.

But...

Yu City Lord gave them value!

This may look like just a ’data entry’ gig—

But in reality?

It means down the road, Yu City Lord might be willing to spend resources to train them!

Think big...

Becoming an evolver like Senior Sister Yin isn’t out of the question!

As yet another group left, the council hall grew empty again.

"My lord—"

"What can Neil do for you?"

Angelina Neil seemed anxious, desperate to help but not assigned a task yet.

"Uh..."

Yu Jin stared at Neil for a bit.

"You know how to do back massages?"

Soon enough—

Neil stood behind Yu Jin, activated her ’Mechanical’ attribute, generated four whole mechanical bionic arms, and gave Yu Jin a thorough back massage from top to bottom.

On Neil’s metallic-hued face, a satisfied smile appeared.

Council hall.

Only Yin Yao stood there all alone.

Yu Jin glanced at the woman who fed him so much soft food back on Blue Star, and who, before crossing over, practically dragged him up to Tier Nine.

Before crossing, Yu Jin had used ’Eye of Insight’ to check Yin Yao’s info.

But at the time, it couldn’t show whether she was the ’Reincarnator’ Yu Jin suspected.

And now?

[Ability: Eye of Insight (Level 9)]

[Active Effect: Can view info on items/lifeforms; the higher the skill tier, the more detailed the intel.]

[Full-Level Effect: Ignores barriers, can view info on any item/lifeform no higher than own tier.]

Lines of text appeared before Yu Jin.

[Yin Yao]

[Mother Star: Blue Star]

[Tier: Tier Three]

[Attribute: Sandstorm]

[Abilities: Wind and Sand Control Level 2, Sand Vortex Level 2, Sand Tornado Level 2]

[Evaluation: Reincarnator who triggered the ’Nirvana’ talent ahead of time without knowing, wants to advance, wants to become part of Dawn City, wants to cling to Yu Jin’s leg, wants to become strong, wants to save Blue Star...]

"Nirvana Talent?"

Yu Jin saw the new term and got curious.

He asked Brother Tongzi, but didn’t get an answer.

Yu Jin shook his head and shelved the thought for now.

He got up from the lofty City Lord’s seat and strode over to Yin Yao.

"Senior Sister Yin."

The title made Yin Yao, who’d been lowering her head, freeze a little.

Just a moment ago—

She clearly felt Yu Jin ’see her through’ at a glance.

Rebirth, clinging for support...

She didn’t know how Yu Jin would view her past actions, didn’t know if he’d dislike that kind of goal-driven closeness and help.

She’d thought about this moment.

But never imagined it would come so soon.

Yin Yao stood stiffly, nervously awaiting judgment from above.

"Thank you."

Yu Jin’s voice echoed through the empty hall.

All kinds of complicated emotions flickered in Yin Yao’s beautiful eyes, but instantly froze.

She stood in a daze, a little uncertain as she looked up, meeting Yu Jin’s gaze.

"Are you willing to become one of Dawn City’s people, to help build up Dawn City, to be my right hand..."

"Are you willing to join me, lead our fellows to sweep the wasteland, and someday, return and save Blue Star?"

Yu Jin spoke, every word clear and forceful.

"I..."

"I’m willing!"

Yin Yao’s eyes turned red in an instant.

She couldn’t tell, couldn’t tell if it was excitement or happiness, grievance or relief...

She only knew one thing.

From today on—

She won’t have to pretend anymore.

From today on—

She can wholeheartedly work for Dawn City and hold on tight to Yu Jin’s biggest, thickest leg in the wasteland!
