Dawn City.
Outer City street.
Neil disengaged his cha form, leading the way at the front with a bow.
On both sides of the street.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees knelt down in unison, their heads bowed to the ground.
One after another, they shouted—
"City Lord—"
"Loyal~ty~!"
"Dawn City—"
"Loyal~ty~!"
Yu Jin followed behind Neil, gazing at this city that now belonged to him.
The street was a bit narrow, the environnt a bit shabby, the territory pretty small...
As far as the eye could see, the refugees were basically all ordinary people who hadn’t awakened yet.
At this mont, he finally understood why Dawn City was rated as Level 0 by "Wasteland" and ranked 20,001 on the leaderboard.
"I’m at Max Level now, but Dawn City is still Level 0."
"That can’t really be called true Max Level."
Yu Jin thought to himself.
Behind him—
Yin Yao, Chen Gang, the forty-plus mbers of the Environntal Protection Club, and the only thousand Evolvers in Dawn City, all followed step by step.
Their eyes were locked firmly on Yu Jin’s back.
In their gazes, all kinds of emotions swirled.
Shock, confusion, delight, astonishnt, suspicion, relief...
A hundred emotions, too many to na.
Not long after—
With Neil leading the way, Yu Jin passed through the barrier wall between the Inner and Outer City.
"Bit lacking."
Looking at the Inner City District, which only covered a tiny space and had just dozens of scattered houses, Yu Jin’s determination to develop his city grew stronger.
"Old Yu, Old Yu..."
Taking advantage of Neil’s pathfinding up front, Chen Gang jogged over and called out quietly beside Yu Jin.
Just earlier, when Yu Jin had shown up on the city wall—
After Chen Gang had called out ’Old Yu’, Neil had shot him a ferocious glare, which made him a bit nervous.
"What’s up, Brother Gang?"
Yu Jin turned back, smiling at his roommate who "loves bros but loves gold even more."
"Uh, so..."
"That skill you used before, the one that turned all the Mutant Beasts into a moving mural gif..."
"What Tier is that Ability?"
As soon as Chen Gang said this,
Everyone behind Yu Jin perked up their ears.
They were all super curious about this!
Right now, all they knew was that in just three days, Yu Jin had beco absurdly powerful—and even suddenly turned into the Dawn City Lord.
But they didn’t know...
What Tier is Yu Jin actually at now?
And now Brother Gang had beco their "spokesperson."
"Tier Nine."
Yu Jin said it casually.
"Tier Nine?"
Chen Gang froze for a mont, then burst out laughing.
"Old Yu, you..."
"You’re killing ! It’s only been three days since we transmigrated, and you didn’t even use the helt beta test—how can you be Tier Nine already?"
"Are you just trying to ss with us fools!"
But then...
As Chen Gang laughed—
He noticed that everyone was quiet, and Yu Jin’s face was deadly serious.
Even Neil, leading up front, stopped, turned around, and stared at him with his cha-blue, glowing eyes.
Chen Gang couldn’t laugh anymore.
"Gulp—!"
Chen Gang swallowed hard.
"You’re really Tier Nine?"
His voice was very, very low.
"Really Tier Nine."
Yu Jin answered openly, with no intent to hide it.
"...Did you cheat?"
After a long silence, Chen Gang squeezed out the question.
Yu Jin just smiled and said nothing.
And behind him, after hearing these few words, Yin Yao’s eyes kept shifting.
Her mind was churning with all kinds of thoughts.
So bold, previously unimaginable suspicions kept popping up.
Yu Jin had once told her ’about dreaming,’ and ’going green could turn you into Superman.’
Now that she thought about it—
Maybe those weren’t jokes after all.
It’s just...
At this point, the truth didn’t seem to matter anymore.
...
...
Boom boom—
The doors of the City Lord’s Mansion, sealed for days, were pushed open by Yu Jin’s own hands.
At this mont—
Before their eyes was the council hall, around 200 square ters in size.
And also—
At the very front of the hall, that empty, solitary City Lord’s throne—seemingly forged from so special tal.
Whoosh—!
Yu Jin took a step forward.
Spatial ripples spread out.
The next second—
Yu Jin was already seated on the throne.
Chen Gang and nearly a thousand others poured into the council hall, lining up on either side.
The scene—
Unexpectedly felt just like those ’imperial court’ monts from TV dramas.
Yu Jin’s gaze swept across the hall—
Neil stood right at the front, bowing his head.
Nearly a thousand Evolvers, all Indigenous People.
Yin Yao, Chen Gang—old friends, no need to say more.
The Environntal Protection Club, forty-so people—this took Yu Jin by surprise, but thinking about it, it made sense.
After all—
When recruiting club mbers back then, the system had marked them as ’Dawn City Subordinates.’
So upon transmigration, it was totally reasonable that they’d all start in Dawn City.
The City Lord’s Mansion hall—
The atmosphere was incredibly quiet.
Even Brother Gang, who was closest with Yu Jin, didn’t dare speak loudly now.
After all...
’Roommates’ was their relationship back on Blue Star. Here in the Wasteland, Yu Jin was City Lord, and he was a subordinate.
Totally different leagues now.
The Environntal Protection Club folks thought the sa way.
In fact—
They acted even more cautious and reserved.
On the City Lord’s throne,
Yu Jin stayed silent too.
Just now, the mont he sat down in the City Lord’s seat, the system update happened to finish.
Right now, he stared at the half-transparent panel in front of him.
[System upgraded to Version 2.0!]
[Patch notes for the new version as follows—]
[Given your current location in the extrely dangerous "Wasteland Star System", so system functions have synced up!]
[...]
[Due to the previous issue where the "Newbie Survival Resource Pack" (boosts to Tier Three) couldn’t be delivered properly—]
[System has broken part of the rule constraints.]
[The "Newbie Survival Resource Pack" reward is now converted into—]
[Lifting your maximum Tier cap of Tier Nine; your current Tier limit is now Tier Twelve]
[Notice—]
[Due to rules influence, any abilities you possess above Tier Nine will still be subject to so suppression]
