only just joined Dawn City, his loyalty to this city and to Lord City Lord was already off the

through!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tier Four Evolver...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Yao looked down at the Sand Vortex in her hand, alive and vivid like a creature, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a height she’d never reached in her previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now—?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin had been in charge of Dawn City less than two hours, and thanks to absorbing the ’Tier Four Energy Crystal’ he gifted, she broke through smoothly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking through to Tier Four, Yin Yao didn’t get up right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she kept sitting cross-legged on the ground, crushing a transparent geometric crystal in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attribute Activation Stone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a reward Yu Jin gave her personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Yin Yao didn’t want to accept such a gift, had refused it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden appearance of Naiya made her feel a huge sense of crisis inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just moments ago, when Yu Jin gave her the crystal again, Yin Yao didn’t hesitate anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll strive to awaken a new attribute, and contribute to Dawn City’s growth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Yao recalled her promise at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Yao’s long eyelashes trembled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You used the ’Attribute Activation Stone’!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[New attribute awakening...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations, awakening

interrupted Yu Jin’s intention to explore this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the exploration continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this really the impart zone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going a bit further in, Yu Jin looked at the screen in front of him, mirror-like and able to reflect images but unable to see what lay beyond, and fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Beep

closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Different from the imagined \"impart ten-meter bed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After crossing the barrier, what appeared before Yu Jin was a spacious carbon-gray space, full of sci-fi flair, reminiscent of a spaceship cockpit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was quite large, several hundred square meters at least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At its center stood an irregular, semi-transparent crystal one meter tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin was a bit dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where the hell am I?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this really the Wasteland?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Wasteland tech is supposed to be polluted and unusable,

Energy source?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin muttered those terms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped toward the irregular crystal, half as tall as a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How does it work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin looked at Naiya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Esteemed Lord City Lord, you only need to place your hand on the City Core and it will automatically verify your identity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naiya replied softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin didn’t doubt this Moore Star girl, and pressed his hand down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The geometric crystal vibrated gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, a sci-fi infused, luminous screen appeared as a projection in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>",964,"2026-06-06T09:25:00.978Z",1,"novelbin.me","35e117aa16148c8c312da0d7973477e582f3d46e3946372df87e2305f8745e19","wasteland-s-only-king-chapter-97","wasteland-s-only-king-chapter-95",370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwasteland-s-only-king-cover.jpg"]
