Wasteland's Only King

Tower of the Sky, 17th floor.

Tang Yunxuan’s voice echoed in the hall.

Ye Ye, Ding Zhen, and the other tens of thousands of test-takers who passed the selection process all held their breath momentarily.

“Assigning battleship fortresses?”

“Holy crap…”

“Starting with a bang without any preamble?”

Obviously.

The many test-takers didn’t expect Tang Yunxuan to be so direct.

They originally thought there would be some formal words or encouraging phrases.

“Haha.”

In the center of the hall, Tang Yunxuan watched everyone’s reaction, laughed heartily, but offered no further explanation.

In fact.

Normally speaking, for a group that has just passed the selection, never having truly operated a battleship, let alone driven a fortress, it wouldn’t make sense for them to immediately be assigned their own battleship fortress.

To know.

Back when he and Yin Zhenzhong were under Carol, it took at least a month of training before truly taking over the authority for the Fort Commander.

But nowadays?

Time waits for no one.

Dawn Fortress entering the Cerena Star System Group and the impending encirclement by Serenity Civilization Influence, the general public doesn’t know, but it’s already spread among the upper management of Dawn Fortress.

Tang Yunxuan and others clearly know——

Not long from now, maybe only a few days.

A star river war of even larger scale than outside the P-8808 Star Realm is about to descend on Dawn Fortress.

Thus.

The commander selection this time has made certain changes——speeding up, speeding up, and speeding up again.

“Next, I will announce the list!”

Tang Yunxuan’s thoughts returned to reality, he said loudly.

Swish——

In front of him, a translucent light curtain appeared.

On the light curtain, names and codes were densely written.

“Xie Zhenxuan!”

“Subordinate ID number: 085265145!”

“Based on your current selection results, you’ve been promoted to an ordinary warship commander!”

“You’re assigned to the ship model: A-10086 Interstellar Battleship!”

“…”

Upon the fall of Tang Yunxuan’s words.

In the crowd, a black-haired young man screamed.

“Ah!”

“It’s me, it’s me!”

“I’m Xie Zhenxuan!”

“Thank you, Commander Tang, thank you, Lord, thank you, Dawn Fortress!”

“I will certainly not betray the fortress’s trust in me; I will become an outstanding battleship commander, completing every war mission perfectly!”

In the center of the hall, Tang Yunxuan smiled lightly, then raised his hand.

Whoosh——

A stream of light flew from the light curtain in front of him and merged into the black-haired young man, Xie Zhenxuan himself.

In the next second.

Under the gaze of everyone, a silver mark appeared in the palm of Xie Zhenxuan’s right hand.

“That is the login and control authority for the A-10086 Interstellar Battleship, you can think of it as a key.”

“The docking information for the A-10086 battleship, you’ve probably already received upon logging into your internal network account.”

“You have one day to familiarize yourself with your battleship, starting tomorrow, there will be real combat drill training in the starry sky near the fortress!”

After Tang Yunxuan finished speaking, Xie Zhenxuan remained in place.

The same was true for the other tens of thousands of test-takers in the hall.

“No…”

“I thought it was just announcing commander levels and corresponding battleships, how come it’s fast-forwarded to directly handing out the ’key’!”

Beside Ye Ye, his earlier encounter Ding Zhen, was now very shocked.

Just because——

He, like Ye Ye, was participating in the selection for the third time.

And compared to Ye Ye, he had spent a considerable amount of energy on the selection forum, checking various tips and rumors about the selection every day.

According to his knowledge…

The ones passing to the Tower of the Sky today were supposed to only have their commander level determined and the type of future battleship fortress confirmed.

Note, it’s the future, not now!

“How is it different from what those seniors said on the forum…”

Ding Zhen stayed in place, face full of confusion.

And Ye Ye, who had previously been focused on studies and the selection, was unaware of information regarding this aspect.

“Is it different?”

“Isn’t it good now!”

“Getting assigned to a battleship right on the spot, wow!”

“If quick enough, you could even board your own battleship by the end of today!”

Ye Ye was very excited, his youthful and immature face filled with anticipation.

“Continue!”

In the hall center, Tang Yunxuan continued announcing the list.

Due to the number of those passing the selection being over tens of thousands.

Tang Yunxuan did not pause after announcing names as he did earlier.

He read them out in one breath, his reading speed getting faster and faster.

Eventually.

Shwoosh——

Shwoosh Shwoosh——!

Tang Yunxuan had barely uttered a name when a stream of light flew out, merging into the body of the corresponding test-taker.

“Wow!”

“Hahaha!”

“I’m a commander, I’m a commander too!”

“I’ve been assigned to a large battleship, a large battleship!”

“…”

In the hall, boiling cheers, screams, never ceased for a moment.

Even those classified as the lowest level commanders, assigned the most ordinary battleships, danced with joy.

“The most ordinary battleship, is still a battleship!”

“The lowest level commander, is still a commander!”

Everyone’s face was brimming with smiles of anticipation and excitement.

If it weren’t for Tang Yunxuan still reading the list, many would have already left the Tower of the Sky to the fortress’s battleship docking bay to board their own battleship!

“Ding Zhen!”

“…”

Whoosh——!

A stream of light flew towards the direction where Ye Ye was, then merged into Ding Zhen’s body.

“What level?”

“What battleship?”

Ye Ye was extremely curious, pulling on his new friend for information.

“Let me see, let me see…”

Ding Zhen’s voice was trembling, he nervously opened his internal network account.
