Wasteland's Only King-Chapter 101 - 92: Did You Lead the Tier Nine Demon Here?

Chapter 101: Chapter 92: Did You Lead the Tier Nine Demon Here?

Xiaoming whimpered in response.

This way of addressing was clearly copied from Yu Wenbo, but not quite right—it sounded a bit odd.

Yu Jin didn’t care about such trivial matters, drawling:

"A308 Area, I bet you know quite a few High-Tier Mutant Beasts/Infected Bodies there?"

When he used ’Eye of Insight’ on this turtle yesterday, the display showed: ’Former Tier Eight Overlord Mutant Beast of A308 Area.’

"Mmm-mmm..."

Xiaoming whimpered in reply.

"You know where they live, right?"

Yu Jin pressed on.

"Mmm..."

This time, Xiaoming’s whimper was much deeper.

"Alright, take me there."

"I want to have a little chat with them, maybe spar a bit."

After maxing out all Tier One Attribute Abilities with ’One-Click Max Level,’ Yu Jin had been itching for some action.

"But...but..."

Apparently, Xiaoming had some Mutant Beast morality.

It didn’t want to become ’beastiality.’

"Hmm?"

Yu Jin raised his hand, a radiance gathering in his palm.

Level 9 Laser!

"Okay! Fine!"

Xiaoming chickened out in a second.

Its enormous body trembled slightly, moving its limbs even faster.

...

...

A308 Area, Southwest Wilderness.

Yu Jin sat atop Xiaoming’s head, gazing ahead at another mountain-sized giant turtle, lost in thought.

[Mutated Giant Turtle]

[Tier: Tier Seven]

[Attribute: ...]

[Ability: ...]

[Evaluation: Formerly a Tier Six Mutated Turtle from A308 Area, after siphoning half the energy from its Tier Eight Mutated Turtle mate, broke through to Tier Seven, then dumped its mate, claimed this territory as king, and for the past thirty years has been obsessed with keeping male Mutated Fitness Turtles captive]

"Xiaoming, be real with me."

"You brought me here first—is there some personal grudge involved?"

Yu Jin looked down at Xiaoming.

"Mmm..."

Xiaoming stayed quiet, just whimpered.

Not far away.

ROAR—

ROAR ROAR—!

Maybe because Yu Jin wasn’t releasing his aura, and was still a fair distance away.

Maybe because the ’ex-husband’ suddenly came knocking.

Or maybe this Tier Seven Mutant Turtle just had a slow reaction and a stupid brain.

In any case—

Upon spotting Yu Jin and Xiaoming, the Tier Seven Mutated Giant Turtle began howling, all sorts of Attribute Energy erupting from its body!

Looks like it’s ready to attack!

"Oh?"

"Taking the first shot, huh?"

Yu Jin chuckled.

Whoosh—!

He stepped lightly, shooting straight up toward the Celestial Vault.

Then, extended his finger.

[Tier One Thunder Attribute Ability: Thunder]

[Passive Effect: Immune to thunder attacks below user’s own tier, can also absorb thunder to convert to energy]

[Active Effect: Release thunder to deal damage]

[Full-Level Effect: Thunder gains ’Annihilation’ effect]

"Thunder, Level 9."

RUMBLE—!

Thunder exploded across a hundred-mile radius.

In an instant, a dark purple thunder pillar, a kilometer wide, roared down!

The mountain-sized Tier Seven Mutated Giant Turtle didn’t even have time to scream before it was swallowed by thunder!

And then...

It was reduced to nothingness!

"Woooo—hooo—!"

On the ground below,

Though Xiaoming’s body shivered from instinctual fear, it cried out in a sharp, excited howl.

[Your divine might descends! With an ant’s body, you defy the odds and slay ’Tier Ten Star System-Level Mutant Beast—Seoul Turtle’!]

[Wasteland Points +8,000,000!]

[Resources gained: Tier Nine Energy Crystal *1!]

Yu Jin nodded in satisfaction.

This trip was totally worth it.

If he put in a bit more effort and took down a few more High-Tier Mutant Beasts, he’d have enough crystals to break through to Tier Ten.

"Next stop!"

Yu Jin leapt down lightly, landing atop Xiaoming.

"Mmm..."

But Xiaoming didn’t move right away; instead, it whimpered and looked in a certain direction.

Yu Jin followed its gaze.

What appeared was a group of Tier Four and Tier Five Mutated Fitness Turtles.

"..."

"Turtles of the same faith?"

Yu Jin looked a bit odd.

"Mmmm—"

Xiaoming whimpered even louder.

...

...

"Stone, Level 9."

Yu Jin hung in midair, waving his right hand.

[Tier One Giant Stone Attribute Ability: Stone]

[Active Effect: Summon stones to deal physical damage to enemies]

[Full-Level Effect: Stones grow larger, gain ’Crush’ effect]

BOOM—

RUMBLE—!

The midday sky suddenly darkened.

A ’stone’ hundreds of meters in diameter plummeted from the sky like a meteorite.

"ROAR—"

The Tier Seven Mutated Giant Wolf howled at the sky, struggling in vain to resist.

But—

BOOM—!

The earth shook and mountains trembled.

[Your divine might descends! With an ant’s body, you defy the odds and slay ’Tier Ten Star System-Level Mutant Beast—Howling Moon Wolf King’!]

[Wasteland Points +8,000,000!]

[Resources gained: Tier Nine Energy Crystal *1!]

"Tsk—"

Yu Jin clicked his tongue at the system prompt.

"Xiaoming."

"Are there any mutant sheep in this area?"

...

...

"Baa—!"

"Baa baa—!"

Yu Jin looked at the flock of sheep on the ground, frowning slightly.

These sheep...

Why are they all pitch black?

Yu Jin raised his hand.

Whoosh—!

Laser, Level 9!

The horde of rampaging mutant sheep, once so fearsome, was reduced to ashes.

[Your divine might descends! With an ant’s body, you defy the odds and slay ’Tier Ten Star System-Level Mutant Beast—Dark Sheep Leader’!]

[Wasteland Points +8,000,000!]

[Resources gained: Tier Nine Energy Crystal *1!]

[Your divine might descends! With an ant’s body, you suppress ’Tier Nine Mutant Beast—Dark Sheep Leader’s Offspring’]

[...]

"Dark Sheep?"

"Why does that name sound kind of familiar?"

...

...

"Green Turtle!"

"It’s you! You’re the one who attracted this Tier Nine Demon here!"

"Beastiality, you damn green-furred beastiality!"

The ’shadow’ wreathed in black fog floated in midair, pointing at Xiaoming and cursing him out.

"You talk too much!"

Yu Jin raised his hand.

Fired off a Level 9 Laser.

Whoosh—!

[Your divine might descends! With an ant’s body, you suppress ’Tier Nine Infected Body—Sawyer Seeker’!]

[Wasteland Points +5,000,000!]

[Resource gained: Tier Nine Energy Crystal *1]

"Next stop!"

...

...

While Yu Jin was busy monster hunting and fleecing sheep outside—

Dawn City.

As night fell and dusk settled in,

Wang Yunpeng and other Environmental Protection Club members finally wrapped up the ’crystal distribution’ task.

"Whew—"

The boys and girls were panting, looking a bit worn out.

Over a hundred thousand crystals, split among forty people—yeah, that workload was no joke.

But—

Within the span of a day and night, they still managed to get it done, responsibly.

"We must work hard, must be loyal, must prove our value!"

"Otherwise..."

"We’ll let down the City Lord’s trust in us!"

Wang Yunpeng’s tone was solemn; at this point, he already looked the part of the group’s leader.

"Yes!"

"We must work hard, we must be loyal!"

The boys and girls echoed.

"Alright then."

"Next, as per City Lord’s previous instructions, let’s hand out crystals to each and every one of you."

"We’ll supervise each other. No slacking, no stashing any crystals away—period!"

...

...

Five minutes later.

Wang Yunpeng’s face looked as dark as it could get.

"Who?"

"Step forward and confess—now!"

"We’re missing forty-two whole crystals, including a Tier Three Energy Crystal!"

"You actually dared steal the City Lord’s crystals? Got a death wish?"

Wang Yunpeng cursed out loud.

But—

The Environmental Protection Club’s boys and girls just looked at each other, all their faces the picture of innocence.

Truly, none of them had stolen any crystals.

But for some reason,

Over forty crystals had simply vanished into thin air.

"No one’s fessing up, huh?"

"Fine, I’ll have to report this to Lord Neil and City Lord Yu!"

"Anyone who dares steal Dawn City’s crystals will pay a price they can’t afford!"

Seeing that no one would come clean, Wang Yunpeng, though reluctant,

Still took a deep breath, stepped out, and headed toward the City Lord’s Mansion.

...

...

Blue Star, Daxia.

Four days had now passed since the ’Great Cataclysm.’

Jiangcheng University.

Tang Yunxuan lay slumped on his dorm window, staring out at the gloomy sky, eyes full of worry.

"Ah—"

A piercing scream echoed from downstairs.

"Someone tried to leave the dorm again... and got attacked."

Tang Yunxuan had a bitter look.

After the disaster, everything changed.

The once-beloved stray calico cat on campus had mutated into a predator wreathed in black mist, devouring humans on sight.

With half the population gone, and all communications and technology down...

Jiang University had become an island.

Tang Yunxuan had been trapped in his dorm for four whole days.

He survived off nothing but instant noodles and bottled water.

But...

There was no hope in sight if things went on like this.

"Heard from the room next door, the authorities are organizing a rescue."

"No clue when they’ll actually make it to Jiang University..."

Tang Yunxuan sighed deeply, returning to his desk.

Laptop, iPad, phone—all useless now.

The only thing he could do to pass the time these days was read the book in front of him—Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

Shhh—

Tang Yunxuan flipped open the book, trying to distract himself, ease the nerves and fear in his heart.

But...

The next second—

Thud—!

A crisp clatter suddenly rang out.

Thud—!

Another, echoing through the silent dorm.

Tang Yunxuan stared wide-eyed in shock.

Right there before him,

Lay two translucent, geometrical crystals!

He had just seen with his own eyes—

Those crystals had dropped right out of thin air!
