[Level I Civilization Authority ——]

[Effect: Each ti a registered player kills a player from another civilization, their own civilization will receive 1 Internal Testing Helt]
[Quantity limit: 100 million]
[Server restriction: Star System Wasteland]
[Limit purchase: 0/1]
Yu Jin’s eyes lit up.
This authority is perfectly suited to Blue Star’s current situation!
"Buy?"
"Buy!"
Without any hesitation, Yu Jin chose to buy it directly.
[Civilization Source Points -5,000,000]
[You have unlocked Level I Civilization Authority —— Everyone for ]
[Current Civilization Source Points: 1,500,000]
[Notice ——]
[You have purchased at least two items from Level I Civilization Authority. Once your Civilization Source Points accumulate to over ten million, Level II Civilization Authority will be unlocked!]
[Please continue to earn more Civilization Source Points and lead your Blue Star Civilization further in the "Wasteland" ga!]
"Hm?"
"Level II Civilization Authority?"
The last few lines of notification made Yu Jin pause for a mont.
He always thought that, as a Level I Civilization, Blue Star could only ever unlock up to Level I Civilization Authority.
But according to this...?
It seems the division of civilization levels isn’t just based on technological developnt, unlike what Yu Jin previously thought?
After all...
If it were based on technological developnt, given Blue Star’s current state and the pollution from Oumuamua 2, let alone making another breakthrough, even just recovering forr tech levels would be nearly impossible.
Shua——
Suddenly.
A flash of light appeared before Yu Jin’s eyes.
A gray helt materialized out of nowhere.
"?"
Yu Jin paused, then pulled up the Civilization Authority panel.
[Everyone for ——]
[Internal Testing Helt: 500/100 million]
[Internal Testing Helt: 800/100 million]
[...]
The numbers on the panel were jumping up at a rate visible to the naked eye.
In just a few seconds of Yu Jin spacing out, the number had already surpassed a thousand.
Goodness!
"Is Carol fighting again over there?"
"Looks like the war’s still very intense..."
Based on the ’Everyone for ’ authority, a thousand new Internal Testing Helts ant Blue Star players had just killed a thousand players from other civilizations.
Thinking of this, Yu Jin’s initial excitent faded and was replaced by worry.
The Star System Wasteland is different from the planetary wastelands, harboring Tier Eighteen and Tier Nineteen Evolvers.
Yet even Carol, the Commander-in-Chief, is only Tier Twelve right now.
"Maybe it’s ti to buff Carol’s strength..."
"Right now she’s the one protecting five million players that crossed over from Blue Star."
At this thought.
Yu Jin’s mind moved, and a few illusory causal chains appeared before his eyes.
Pa——
Yu Jin severed one of the chains.
[Removed Benefit Link target: Yu Limin]
[Added Benefit Link target: Carol]
[...]
Even though the skill was Max Level Awakened, the maximum number of Benefit Link targets was still three.
They were: Cao Fang, Yu Limin, and Yin Yao.
Yu Jin didn’t remove the link from Yin Yao, not out of favoritism, but because she was now the Vice City Lord of Dawn City.
Whenever he logged into "Wasteland OL" and was not in Dawn City, a Tier Nine Evolver was needed to hold the fort.
By comparison, Li Min, who had gained a few kilos in the wasteland, didn’t really need the protection of a Benefit Link anymore—he had already reached Tier Seven.
[Benefit Ratio: 50%]
Yu Jin looked at the ratio and did a quick calculation in his heart.
million * 50% = 25 million.
million 25 million = 35 million.
That was enough to promote Carol from Tier Twelve to Tier Fourteen.
"Still not enough."
Even with the calculation, Yu Jin didn’t feel secure.
There were still nearly a hundred days until he could promote to Star System Wasteland.
In these hundred days, as more helts appeared, more Blue Star players would beta test and log into the Star System Wasteland.
By then, over a hundred million Blue Star players would depend on Carol’s protection.
Tier Fourteen might be unbeatable on A3 Planet, but in the Star System Wasteland, it could easily be just another larger ant.
"If people can’t make it through, I’ll just air-drop more supplies."
"With A3 Planet’s rules settled down now, there’s little chance of another Alien Invader event..."
"For more airdrops, I have to keep leeching resources off those High-dinsional Players in Wasteland OL."
Yu Jin had already made up his mind.
It’s also been twenty days since Mars OL ended.
When Blue Star’s ten days are up, they’ll return to A3 Planet, and the High-dinsional Helt’s thirty-day cooldown will be finished right on ti.
By then, Yu Jin could log in to "Wasteland OL" again.
...
...
Daxia, Imperial Capital.
In a certain siheyuan (courtyard house).
The void trembled slightly, and Yu Jin and Yin Yao stepped out side by side.
"This is the place?"
Yu Jin turned to look at Yin Yao.
"Yes."
Yin Yao nodded with a soft reply.
But...
She looked up. In the cold, empty yard, the familiar figures were nowhere to be seen.
Father, mother, grandfather...
Yin Yao’s heart tightened instantly.
"Cough, cough—"
"You’re back?"
Not long after,
a hoarse and weak voice ca from deep within the courtyard.
"Grandpa!"
Yin Yao’s beautiful eyes widened as she called out softly, then quickly rushed further inside.
Monts later,
Yin Yao and Yu Jin fell into silence as they looked at the elderly man before them, his body hunched and far more aged and frail than they rembered.
The old man’s eyes were more clouded than ever, to the point he could no longer see the two standing before him.
This was a side effect of pollution.
Even though Yu Jin had purified the pollution when he returned to Blue Star, for soone his age, it was already a miracle that he’d survived the pollution without turning into an Infected Body.
They couldn’t hope for more than that.
Buzz——
Yu Jin raised his hand and cast a Purifying Light on the elderly man.
