Wasteland's Only King

Dawn Fortress, Tower of the Sky.

The top of the tower, Lord’s private quarters.

Yu Jin sat cross-legged in silence atop the hundred-meter luxury mega bed.

In front of him, a semi-transparent screen floated.

On the screen was the current view of the starry sky outside Ring of the Sky R-001 Airport.

Fortresses, warships, mechas, drones…

Countless weapons of war, dropping down like dumplings, deployed from the High Dimension.

“Not bad.”

Yu Jin stared at the screen, speaking softly to himself.

He’d just returned to Dawn Fortress not long ago.

It was only so fast because, when he first leveled up to the High Dimension, he left a Coordinate Imprint right outside the Star System Wasteland Server Star Realm.

He teleported instantly to the server Star Realm, then borrowed a bit of Brother Tongzi’s Ability, safely returning to the Low Dimension.

And the first thing Yu Jin did upon his return to Dawn Fortress was to receive fortress battleships.

That’s right—receive, as in at the transaction layer.

This batch of fortress battleships? All acquired by Funi via buy-outs across various Wasteland servers in the High-Dimensional Federation.

But Yu Jin didn’t choose to receive them back in Oak City.

On the contrary.

He only completed the deal with Funi after returning to Dawn Fortress.

In Ophelia High-Dimensional Federation, Wasteland has a unique transaction mechanism.

Items in Wasteland, including fortress warships, can be traded across space.

Of course, these trades can’t teleport items long distance.

But…

Brother Tongzi, steadily working his magic.

Yu Jin leveraged a special system drop mechanism, forcibly bypassed Star System Wasteland rules, and dropped millions of warships, a full five thousand Super Large Fortresses, directly into this starry sky!

Even crazier…

This kind of transaction wasn’t a one-off.

Theoretically,

Funi, still on Gangval Star, could keep buying Low-dimensional Fortress Battleships and initiate new trades with Yu Jin.

And Yu Jin could use the system to drop them again, right onto the coordinates at Dawn Fortress.

In this way,

’Never-ending supply’ pretty much describes the fortress warships Yu Jin will own in the future.

After all…

This first batch of fortress battleships looks crazy huge—but Yu Jin had barely spent less than 100 million Wasteland Source Points for them.

His account still holds an entire 5.7 billion Source Points!

No, more than that…

With the Lambert Clan wiped out by Venicca, all assets in their control—hundreds of millions, no surprise—belong to Yu Jin now.

Not to mention…

Venicca, former top Governor of Heaven Star and head of the Riel Clan, had her own wealth; maybe not far off from Yu Jin’s 5.7 billion Source Points.

So…

“Can’t spend it, impossible to spend it all!”

Yu Jin grinned, feeling more than a little pleased.

These three short days in the High Dimension turned out to be exactly the right move.

Not only did he solve the immediate and future war crisis for Dawn Fortress here in the Star System Wasteland, he also upgraded his personal Extraordinary power by leaps and bounds.

“Tier Twenty…”

Yu Jin said softly to himself.

Buzz—!

Space-time trembled around him.

Yu Jin had noticed the difference in Tier Twenty the moment he returned.

From Tier Nineteen limit to Tier Twenty, supposedly only an increase of 1 point of Value.

But…

The pure gold in that 1 point of Value? Absolutely terrifying!

BOOM—!

Yu Jin willed it.

Dawn Fortress, Cerena Star System Group, even the far-off Central Star Realm—all shuddered in response!

At this moment,

it looked identical to when he first landed on A3 Planet!

This final single point of Value—the one that pushed Yu Jin’s Value past the billion mark—granted him the right to stand equal with the rules of Drake-3 Star System Wasteland Server!

Tier Twenty is the true sky!

If Yu Jin wanted, he could even force some parts of the server rules to break…

This is change.

This is Max Level!

“Invincible again?”

Feeling the immense energy roaring inside, so strong it resonated with the entire Star System Wasteland rules, Yu Jin raised an eyebrow.

“No, not invincible yet…”

Yu Jin shook his head, muttered softly.

He’s long past the newbie days of first landing on A3 Planet, getting excited just for ’Max Level’.

“Maybe Han Ling reached this realm early?”

“Or maybe…”

“Still a little short?”

Yu Jin’s eyes sharpened.

The Serenity Civilization encircling Dawn Fortress? He never cared about them.

Whether leveling up in the High Dimension or bulk-buying fortress battleships, the real threat he’s preparing for is Han Ling.

Even though the system’s Evaluation rates Han Ling’s Divine Bloodline as ’trash’.

Yu Jin isn’t getting cocky.

The lion hunts rabbit, all-in every time.

Let alone…

Han Ling landed here decades, maybe centuries before him—who knows how much foundation and resources she’s built up.

“Not reliable, even Tier Twenty isn’t reliable.”

“Gotta boost it up again…”

Yu Jin murmured, mind moving.

Swish—

Swash—!

Sharp clattering sounds, endlessly echoing.

The huge empty bed was suddenly covered with jagged, irregular Crystal Stones erupting out of the void.

Swash—!

In no time at all,

The Crystal Stones tumbled from the piled-up bed onto the ground, making crisp sounds.

“Uh…”

“Funi seems to have gotten way too many?”

Yu Jin stared at the stack of Crystal Stones rising high on his thigh, deep in thought.

All these Crystal Stones are Attribute Activation Stones!

Attribute Stones that were priceless back on Blue Star or A3 Planet!

Even…

In the system, Attribute Stones are counted as ’precious rewards’ too.

Now?

Covered—absolutely covered!
