Dawn City’s subordinates have all improved to varying degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Dawn City has welcomed new members as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None other than Yu Chen and his

Level 10 Shelter City right after Dawn City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for this suggestion was also that Yu Jin considered the attribute of his \"Great Fortune Heaven-Equal

Yu Jin, as an elder brother, also gave him something in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the subordinate cities on the Ring of the Sky is now Yu Chen’s city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His former trusted subordinates have also been awarded many crystal resources from Yu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength of his city has improved so rapidly over the past month, it’s not even an exaggeration to say it’s like riding a rocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Chen is already Tier Nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all his subordinates have reached Tier Seven and Tier

just a nominal one—after all, only \"Naiya City\" among Dawn City and all subordinate cities on the Ring of the Sky has the \"proliferation\" trait—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was still a favor from Lord City Lord to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Dawn City has an extremely refined leveling and contribution system for subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subordinates of different levels receive different welfare benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And though \"Minister of Family Planning\" is just a nominal

softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her palm, she tightly clutched a number tag with \"11\" written on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the top of the Tower of the

Star System Wasteland have already been explained in numerous lectures by Wu Yufei within the city; everyone, including the hundreds of millions of Dawn City subordinates, has a basic understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding is one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually stepping into the starry sky is another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There actually were some Blue Star players left on A3 Planet at the time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before leaving,

the celestial vault above his head, and this was the thought that surfaced in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Dawn City is massive, with hundreds of millions of subordinates, it still didn’t encompass all of A3 Planet’s Blue Star players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether they can reunite with even more Blue Star players in the Star System Wasteland is something to look forward to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard Yu Fei say that in the early days of promotion, you’ll encounter or even compete with other promoted Refuge

righteousness, Chen Gang cared more about ’showing off’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, after a month of crystal boost, he is already Tier Eleven!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from him—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nasha Aili and the other former Tier Nine Evolvers of Dawn City have all reached Tier Eleven as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naiya has reached the limit of Tier Eleven, just one step away from Tier Twelve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Yao and Neil have already broken through to Tier Twelve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, they
