night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black sedan with white plates and red characters sped along the highway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin sat in the back seat, staring out the window, brows deeply furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sorting through the information he’d gathered tonight—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he had finally confirmed the time of the crossover: midnight, September 9th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now 10 p.m., September 7th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All told, only fifty hours remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To call this \"imminent\" would be no exaggeration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, the extraterrestrial visitor—Oumuamua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the crossover occurred, it would sweep past Earth’s orbit, just \"brushing by\" Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the \"unknown substance\" it carried would most likely descend upon Blue Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That \"unknown substance\" could instantly corrode any astronomical telescope observing it from Blue Star—a testament to just how unimaginable its pollution could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin even suspected—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The planet featured in the \"Wasteland\" game might very well have come about in the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Star—the precursor to the Wasteland Planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasteland—the future of the Blue Star beneath his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he learned about Oumuamua,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin had always believed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For countless people on Blue Star, crossing over into the Wasteland World was a calamity, while those left on Blue Star were the lucky ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking at it now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the two had been reversed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crossing into the Wasteland World might be the only chance to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who stayed on Blue Star would have to face the pollution of that \"unknown substance,\" and the possible arrival of an apocalyptic catastrophe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin remembered the \"Space\" attribute he’d just awakened yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among its abilities—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sixth-tier Space Attribute Ability: Coordinate Imprint Level 1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Active Effect: Mark spatial coordinates (the maximum number increases with tier), able to shuttle between coordinates regardless of distance]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keywords: Shuttle regardless of distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin was thinking...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before crossing over to the Wasteland, if he left behind a \"coordinate imprint\" on Blue Star, could he shuttle back after arriving in Wasteland?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When in doubt, ask Brother Tongzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time Brother Tongzi wasn’t cooperating, giving no response at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just feel it can’t be that simple...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin had a gut feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spatial attribute ability was powerful, but no matter how powerful, it was still confined within the framework of the \"Wasteland\" game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could simply shuttle back from Wasteland to Blue Star, wouldn’t that be breaking right out of the framework?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’d be like an in-game character, no matter how strong, breaking out of the screen and landing a punch on the developers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless Brother Tongzi can intervene, the ability of ’coordinate imprint’ to shuttle regardless of distance probably still won’t be able to override the game framework itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Yu Jin let out a long, heavy breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever the case,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was definitely going to leave a coordinate imprint before the crossover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether he could return from Wasteland, he’d simply have to see when the time came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The map.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin unzipped the file bag in his arms and spread out the folded map inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The map was densely covered with hundreds of thousands of coordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing could be brought into Wasteland during the crossover, so...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Yu Jin could do in this final stretch was memorize all of the key information from the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A3-07-456, 587]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A3-13-210, 652]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A3-48-533, 999]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A3-99-142, 761]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coordinate format made Yu Jin narrow his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of the two incomplete maps he’d already obtained: A307, A308.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like my earlier guess was right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A3 stands for the planet, 07 for the area, and the numbers behind are like latitude and longitude?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin pondered silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he planned to ask the others about their in-game coordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Cui, Brother Gang, Yu Fei, Yin Yao...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Chen, and Old Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Yu only wore the helmet once before ending up in the hospital; afterward, Yu Jin locked the helmet in the cabinet, so he probably hadn’t touched it these past two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that the crossover mechanism and exact time were confirmed, Old Yu’s outcome was set, so Yu Jin had no reason to stop him from logging in again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This trip back to Gunzhou was precisely for that purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Superman was Superman, but family was family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, go back to Gunzhou and confirm Old Yu and Yu Chen’s coordinates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, ask Mom if she’s willing to put on the helmet and accept the crossover.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a brand new unopened helmet was quietly lying in the back seat of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Shanhai had prepared it for Yu Jin in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After dealing with that, return to Jiang University and tell Old Cui and the others the exact time of the crossover face to face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the last two days, at least they’ll be able to prepare accordingly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Use crystals!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The crystals I have now will give me a big boost, but still aren’t enough for an immediate breakthrough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the points mall refreshes with any high-tier crystals tonight, then my odds of reaching Tier Eight will be much greater.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin silently laid out his action plan for the days ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin unlocked it and saw Yin Yao had sent him a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[About purifying the nuclear waste, Grandpa has arranged everything.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The day after tomorrow, that is, the morning of September 9th, someone will take you by plane to Daxia’s secret northwest base.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[All of Daxia’s solidified nuclear waste from the past decades is stored there... it should meet your needs.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I won’t go with you then. On the last day before the crossover, I want to spend it with Mom and Dad.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gunzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xieqiao Lane Community, Old Yu’s Noodle House.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yu Jin got back, the noodle shop was still open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was already eleven at night, Old Yu was cheerfully playing chess with someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I seeing things from staring at chess too long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I just see Xiaojin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Yu was still stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin had already grabbed the chessboard and pulled him into the noodle shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin pulled down the rolling shutter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Yu looked bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upstairs, after finishing up in the bathroom and about to go to bed, Cao Fang heard the commotion and came running down in slippers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw Yu Jin, Cao Fang froze for a second, and then her face lit up in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaojin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why’d you suddenly come home at this hour?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin didn’t answer, but pulled both of them to sit at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke in a tone more serious than ever before:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What I’m about to tell you, you might find it unbelievable, but every word is true...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Yu looked lost, brows knit tight, as if something weighed on his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Cao Fang grasped the hem of her clothes tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaojin...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These things you’re talking about—the game, the crossover, the Wasteland, Oumuamua, the apocalypse...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are they all real?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Fang was traditional and conservative, rarely browsing the internet; at most, she’d watch historical dramas. Right now, she simply couldn’t process such a shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin knew it was hard for his parents to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he simply pulled out his phone, opened the photo album, and played a video for the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On screen was an elderly man with gray hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Yao had just sent this to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, after learning that Yu Jin was coming back to Gunzhou, Yin Shanhai had guessed Yu Jin was going to share everything with his parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, Yin Shanhai knew it would be hard for the two elders to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he’d recorded this special video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, foster parents of Yu Jin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Yin Shanhai...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1328,"2026-06-06T09:25:00.978Z",1,"novelbin.me","0a70841ff13b199946cd4ffcfe4734e9198150c1493a9cbed52428aa408b6852","wasteland-s-only-king-chapter-68","wasteland-s-only-king-chapter-66",370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwasteland-s-only-king-cover.jpg"]
