Wasteland's Only King Chapter 116 - 105: Low-level Civilization Bed Bugs vs High-l

Half a day passed.

Yu Jin woke up quietly.

The tremors of the earth—or rather, of A3 Planet—had already subsided.

"Low-level civilization bed bugs?"

He opened his eyes, as if that faint sentence was still echoing by his ear.

No mockery, no contempt, no emotion.

Just the calst tone, stating a predetermined fact.

"I’ve beco a bed bug?"

Yu Jin frowned.

What he’d obtained were rely fragnts of mory belonging to a Tier Ten powerful being nad Sike.

But from those scattered fragnts, Yu Jin had caught quite a few key pieces of information.

For example—

Before Sike transmigrated into "Wasteland," his Owen Star had a technology level similar to Blue Star’s.

Sike’s way of transmigrating was also by receiving a ga helt beta test.

The difference was—

The wasteland planet Sike was on wasn’t like A3 Planet, where there wasn’t a single Tier Nine Evolver in sight.

Sike broke through to Tier Nine before promotion.

This shows that there may be differences between planetary servers.

At the sa ti, he conquered a full ten thousand Refuge Cities and upgraded them all to Level 9.

Tier Nine Evolver Level 9 Refuge City, ranked number one on the planet.

Yet after promoting to "Star System Wasteland," he was slain across tiers, even being evaluated as "bed bug"?

Yu Jin’s eyes narrowed.

He carefully chewed over the words "low-level civilization."

If there’s low-level, naturally there’s also high-level.

"So..."

"There are high-level civilization players in the Star System Wasteland server?"

"High-level civilizations also get forcibly transmigrated into ’Wasteland’?"

"The difference is, high-level civilizations likely start off much stronger, maybe with ans that low-level ones don’t have; so when facing low-level civilization players, they gain huge advantages, even going for outright crushing."

"Tier Ten getting killed by Tier Nine? That’s not just so little counter-celestial spirit..."

Yu Jin took a deep breath, mind shifting.

Swoosh——

His post-Tier Ten ’Value’ interface appeared.

[Yu Jin]

[Tier: Tier Ten]

...

[Comprehensive Coefficient: 1,300,000]

Tier Nine Value ranges from 100,000 to 1,000,000.

And Tier Ten?

Yu Jin had only just broken through, but could clearly sense that he was still far from Tier Eleven.

So, Tier Ten’s upper limit is definitely not just 2,000,000—could be 3 or even 4 million.

After Tier Ten, you’re playing in a completely different dinsion from Tiers One to Nine.

Keep in mind, Naiya at Tier Eight Limit only had 99,000 Value.

Of course.

Because A3 Planet’s highest tier limit is Tier Nine, Yu Jin’s Value and ability beyond Tier Nine get partially suppressed; Brother Tongzi told him this ages ago.

Buzz——

Yu Jin raised his hand, trying to go all out and channel his internal energy.

A mont later.

He got the specific suppression ratio.

"50%?"

"That’s a lot lower than I expected."

Yu Jin was a bit surprised; he’d thought he’d be suppressed 99%, just like on Blue Star.

"So my max combat power value now is..."

"100 30 * 50% = 1,150,000."

Looks like the boost isn’t much, but Yu Jin had only just broken through Tier Ten.

Plus...

This A3 Planet doesn’t just lack Tier Nine Limit—even Tier Nine is missing.

The strongest is just soone like Naiya at Tier Eight Limit, Value barely 99,000.

"I can beat ten of those!"

"No, that’s not how the Value works—at least a hundred!"

Yu Jin was in a good mood.

But at the sa ti, he felt a bit bored.

Getting invincible too fast—it’s another kind of headache.

"If only A3 Planet had high-level players..."

"These players right now aren’t even enough for this ’bed bug’ to swat."

Yu Jin sighed lightly.

"Ah Tong, got any clues?"

[Busy...]

[Detected special fluctuations in A3 Planet rules]

[Decrypting...]

[Decryption successful!]

[After multiple checks, A3 Planet server rules didn’t find your ’bug’.]

[A3 Planet server rules are contacting higher-level star system server rules, seeking help.]

[Communication decrypted, content as follows——]

["Suspected bug-type player detected in this server; requesting the deploynt of high-level civilization players to help investigate."]

Yu Jin froze for a mont.

Well, shit.

This episode...

Invincible in the world, but enemies fall from the sky?

He’d just been muttering about "high-level civilization players," and now they really are on their way?

Yu Jin thought it over, asked in his heart:

"What’s actually ’high-level’ about these civilization players?"

"When they’re dropped onto A3 Planet, can they break through the Tier Nine cap?"

[High-level civilization players refer to players from Civilization Level II or above.]

[They start at a higher tier, usually Tier Nine or higher, and may have already awakened ’Talent’.]

[Once they descend onto A3 Planet, they cannot break through the Tier Nine cap. Any above Tier Nine are forcibly limited to Tier Nine Limit.]

[Tier caps of each server are dictated by ’Wasteland’s’ underlying source code; A3 Planet’s rules can’t affect the source code.]

"..."

Yu Jin fell into contemplation.

[Detected changes in A3 Planet rules, decrypting...]

[Decryption successful!]

[Star System Server’s response to the communication, content as follows——]

["Three days later, deploying one Level II Civilization player to assist the investigation."]

"One?"

Yu Jin frowned.

This...

They’re looking down on a ’bed bug,’ huh?

"Can you fix the drop coordinates when deploying?"

Yu Jin asked.

[Affirmative]

Yu Jin relaxed.

High-level civilization players, aka high-end players.

Low-level civilization bed bugs, aka cheaters.

High-end player vs cheater.

Clearly, this will be a very ’evenly matched’ fight.

"Now this is interesting!"

Yu Jin couldn’t help but marvel at Brother Tongzi’s consistent reliability, while inwardly more at ease.

Just treat it as...

Getting a bigger punching bag to warm up with.

By the way...

He could also scavenge so ’Strongman’s Spoils’ from those so-called ’high-end players.’

"Talent?"

"Yin Yao’s rebirth seed to be thanks to the ’Nirvana’ talent."

"Sounds pretty badass..."

"Honestly, now I’d love more high-end players to co."

"Your talent is aweso—but now, it’s mine!"

Yu Jin murmured, standing up.

A leaderboard popped up before his eyes in "Wasteland."

[A3 Planet Player Tier Leaderboard: No.1]

[A3 Planet Refuge City Level Leaderboard: No.111]

[A3 Planet Player Comprehensive Leaderboard: No.99]

Refuge City Level Leaderboard jumped straight from twenty thousandth to 111th.

Clearly.

On the wasteland, the majority of Refuge Cities, just like the old Dawn City, were Level 0.

To conquer and rule other Refuge Cities, only high-tier evolvers qualify for that.

"Oh, right, gotta test the Coordinate Imprint."

Yu Jin rembered.

Buzz——!

Space ripples spread out.

Failed.

But...

A little loose!

"Refuge City level’s still a bit low."

"Once I bump it up to Level 6 and hit One-Click Max Level on Coordinate Imprint, I should be able to return to Blue Star!"

Yu Jin was fired up.

These past few days, both himself and Dawn City were in a period of dormant developnt.

Now?

After the growth, it’s finally ti to bring so small-scale dinsionality reduction strike to A308 and the surrounding areas!

Buzz——!

Yu Jin’s figure vanished from where he stood.

And when he reappeared, he was already in the sky above Dawn City.

"Half a day later, everyone marches out!"

"Target: a hundred subordinate cities!"

Yu Jin’s voice rang out.

"Loyalty~!"

The hundreds of thousands of subordinates, busy with their tasks, instantly stopped and shouted in unison.

Yu Jin saw this and nodded with satisfaction.

His figure flickered; he returned to the core area again.

Dawn City had reached Level 2; the Resource Mall’s goods had accordingly improved in quality.

Regardless of other things—

Let’s start by One-Click Max Level for all Tier Two and Tier Three attribute abilities!

...

...

A308 Area.

White Elephant City.

Boom——

Rumble rumble——!

The sudden tremors sent a stir through the city’s tens of thousands.

"What’s going on?"

Outside the city, refugees digging at the ground looked up in confusion.

Within, the City Lord, seated atop his throne and digesting crystal energy, opened his eyes.

"Mutant beast tide incoming?"

White Elephant City Lord was alard.

"Shut the gates, throw out the human sacrifices!"

He imdiately gave the City Lord command.

Even though...

He hadn’t even confird if it was actually a mutant beast tide.

But locking the city gates and tossing out the refugees—that’s the best move 99% of the ti.

"Wait..."

"That sound—it’s coming from the sky?"

"Flying, powerful mutant beast?"

White Elephant City Lord, as a Tier Five Evolver, quickly reacted.

He looked up at the sky.

What t his eyes was a thick layer of clouds covering the celestial vault.

Swoosh——!

Suddenly.

From the clouds, a blue-white pillar of light shot out.

Boom——!

In an instant.

The blue-white beam landed squarely on the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Ah——"

White Elephant City Lord shouted in terror.

And then...

Died.

This blue-white pillar was comparable to the all-out strike of a Tier Six or Tier Seven Evolver!

A re Tier Five like him couldn’t possibly block it.

Boom——

Rumble rumble——!

White Elephant City Lord died, but the city still had tens of thousands of refugees.

They watched in terror, craning their heads to the sky.

Soon enough—

They saw, to their shock, that from the thick clouds above, a...Refuge City was descending?

A Refuge City in the sky?

Thump——!

The Refuge City appeared, then plumted rapidly.

In no ti.

A Sky City, four tis the size of White Elephant City, landed soundly beside it.

The landing kicked up a dust storm, sweeping through every corner of White Elephant City.

Ka——

The Refuge City gate opened.

Thousands upon thousands of evolvers surged out.

"For Dawn City!"

"Charge!"

They shouted, various attribute energies erupting from their bodies.

Thud——!

Thud thud——!

Inside and outside White Elephant City, refugees and City Lord’s personal guard alike—

Before the evolvers even reached them, they were already dropping to their knees.

"Loyalty~!"

They mimicked the evolvers, yelling at the top of their lungs.

Their shouts of "Loyalty" at that mont even drowned out the voices from Dawn City’s crowd.

"Damn!"

Outside Dawn City.

Chen Gang looked at this row of kneeling masses in front of him, annoyed.

He’d just broken through Tier Five yesterday and wanted to see if his electricity was any good!

But...

"This is the fifth city already!"

"How co everyone just surrenders as soon as we show up?"

"Can’t anyone show so backbone? Can’t soone at least resist?"

Behind Chen Gang.

Wang Yunpeng and the rest of the Environntal Protection Club mbers said nothing, just walked to the front.

"All White Elephant City players from Blue Star..."

"Step forward!"

"Now, let briefly introduce Dawn City and the illustrious City Lord Yu Jin!"

"You have one hour to decide whether to join!"

"In one hour, Dawn City takes to the sky again!"
