Wasteland's Only King

Chapter 231: Chapter 26: Talent Awakening for All! Naiya Joins the Blue Star Civilization!

F-17 Wasteland Planet.

Red Lotus City.

This is one of the rare Level 8 Shelter Cities on the planet.

Its City Lord is also a Tier Eight Extreme Evolver, renowned across the planet.

But at this moment.

That Tier Eight Extreme Evolver was actually leading a young man around like a mere underling.

He led the young man straight to the core area of Red Lotus City.

Then…

He handed over his position as City Lord without hesitation.

Such a scene was bizarre and unbelievable.

But somehow—

The trusted aides of the City Lord, also Tier Eight City Lords, finally let out a long sigh of relief.

“That’s great!”

“The City Lord knows what’s best for him, that’s really great!”

This was the unanimous thought in their hearts at that moment.

Buzz—

Outside the core area, the energy shield began to ripple.

The young man’s silhouette entered, vanishing within.

As the original Tier Eight City Lord, he was left outside, not even qualified to enter.

“Whew—”

Watching the youth step into the core area.

The Tier Eight City Lord exhaled deeply, collapsing powerlessly to the ground.

His back was drenched in cold sweat.

“That lord…”

“Seems a bit easier to talk to.”

“Lucky, so lucky!”

The Tier Eight City Lord muttered in relief.

From what he knew, several other Tier Eight City Lords on F-17 Planet had already been executed in recent days for ’not knowing their place’!

The ones who killed those Tier Eight City Lords, like the youth before, were all ’Celestial People’!

They came from the terrifying Sky City!

Countless people of F-17 Planet, whether refugees or City Lords, had no idea where Sky City came from.

All they knew…

The strength of Sky City far surpassed their imagination!

Hundreds of millions of subordinates, all Evolvers.

Tier Eight Evolvers weren’t even noteworthy among them.

The only two Tier Nine Evolvers on F-17 Planet had been instantly killed by the ’Ice and Fire Witch’ on the day Sky City arrived.

Sky City’s Tier Nine Evolvers had already surpassed ten in number…

And the rumored City Lord of Sky City, said to be so powerful he’s on a totally different level from Tier Nine Evolvers, had yet to appear.

At this moment.

Red Lotus City, core area.

Wang Yunpeng reached out and pressed his hand against the City Core.

Through the Resource Mall, he prepared to boost his abilities to Max Level.

Previously, at A-4 Planet, there weren’t enough Level 8 Shelter Cities, so Wang Yunpeng hadn’t had a chance to upgrade.

[Beep—]

[You have purchased Tier One Attribute Ability Max Level!]

[You have purchased Tier Two Attribute Ability Max Level!]

[…]

In just an instant.

As Wasteland Points were deducted, strong winds swirled around Wang Yunpeng.

His attribute was known as ’Gang’ (Force).

“Done.”

Wang Yunpeng exhaled deeply.

As one of Dawn City’s earliest administrators, he had broken through to Tier Nine, but his ability Levels were still low, making him somewhat a liability.

But now?

Wang Yunpeng’s Tier One through Tier Eight abilities were all at Level 9, Max Level.

Only his Tier Nine Ability wasn’t yet Maxed out.

This was because there were only two Level 9 Shelter Cities on F-17 Wasteland Planet, and it wasn’t his turn yet.

“Tier Nine Evolver, eight abilities at Max Level…”

Wang Yunpeng slowly removed his hand from the City Core, murmuring to himself.

In this moment.

He couldn’t help but recall that distant yet not-so-distant afternoon.

That day, for ’two credits in Innovation and Entrepreneurship,’ he gave up applying for the Gaming Club and joined the Environmental Protection Club instead.

Now.

It seemed only three or four months had passed, yet his life and future had completely changed.

Countless times he’d marveled at it.

But even now, Wang Yunpeng still felt grateful for his decision to join the Environmental Protection Club back then.

One choice completely changed his destiny afterward.

“Loyalty!”

Wang Yunpeng whispered softly.

Only these two words could express his feelings.

“With Max Level abilities, it’s time to do real work…”

“Senior Sister Yin specifically instructed me to select high-tier Evolvers with good character and abilities from this planet, as members of Dawn City’s auxiliary legion.”

“That Tier Eight City Lord outside seems pretty decent, knows what’s best for him.”

Wang Yunpeng muttered, stepping forward to head outside.

But just then—

Buzz—!

A strange wave suddenly spread from his body.

Wang Yunpeng froze in place.

[Beep—]

A crisp, icy mechanical notification sounded directly in his mind.

[Congratulations!]

[You have awakened a new Talent!]

[You have acquired the Talent: Physical Enhancement!]

[Effect: Using this Talent will massively strengthen your body!]

[Cooldown: 24 hours!]

Wang Yunpeng stood stunned.

Talent?

Was it the Talent he was thinking of?

In this past month—

Wu Yufei, as lecturer, had given several knowledge lectures in Dawn City.

Wang Yunpeng had attended every single one.

And in the most recent lecture, Wu Yufei had introduced ’Talent.’

According to him—

It’s a special ability only High-tier Civilization Evolvers have a chance to awaken.

It’s independent of attributes, extremely rare and impossible to seek out.

At the time.

Wang Yunpeng had felt a bit envious, hoping that one day he and the other Blue Star players could awaken Talents like the Selza Civilization.

But now?

It’s here!

“President?”

In his excitement, Wang Yunpeng’s first thought was Yu Jin!

…

…

At the same time.

All across F-17 Planet.

In every Shelter City and wasteland wilderness, people who were busy suddenly halted in their tracks.

They heard the same mechanical notification in their ears.

[Beep—]

[Congratulations!]

[You have awakened a new Talent!]
