Chapter 379 - 99: Bai Zhining’s Choice! Cao Fang’s Whereabouts! Return!
Venus Wasteland.
Boom——
Rumble——!
Violent tremors swept across every corner of the planet.
The City of Dawn, majestic as a giant dragon, remained steadfast, entrenched on the Wasteland Wilderness.
At this moment.
Directly above the City of Dawn.
A deep and mysterious black hole expanded visibly.
Within a few breaths.
The black hole covered the entire sky.
At the moment, it was midnight in the City of Dawn area.
Yet strangely.
From within the black hole, a brilliant light of the endless Star River refracted, completely illuminating the land below.
In front of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Above the vast Martial Arts Plaza, filled with billions of people.
Bai Zhining and Zhong Muqing stood side by side in the air.
Both were dazedly staring at the black hole above them.
"Is that..."
"High Dimension?"
"The legendary Star System Wasteland?"
Zhong Muqing murmured.
Bai Zhining merely stared at the black hole for a moment, then shifted her gaze.
She looked towards the depths of the City Lord’s Mansion.
A place where Yu Jin resided.
Today was Ascension Day.
Today, the entire planet along with 2.8 billion Blue Star players were ascending together to a higher-dimensional Star System Wasteland Server.
"He should be appearing soon..."
Bai Zhining whispered to herself, unconsciously clutching her clothes.
This past month.
She and Zhong Muqing, as the Vice City Lords of Dawn City, led and managed the registration of all 2.8 billion Blue Star compatriots into the city.
This month was undoubtedly tiring and busy for her.
But...
It was also a happy time.
Each late night, the brief moments when she and Zhong Muqing reported their work to Yu Jin in the depths of the City Lord’s Mansion, were the times she felt most relaxed and assured.
"After the ascension..."
"I won’t have the privilege to work for him or assist him anymore..."
Even though it was a joyous moment of nationwide ascension to the higher dimension.
Even though the 2.8 billion compatriots in the city below were cheering and boiling with enthusiasm.
Bai Zhining, however, inexplicably felt a bit of bitterness.
When Zhong Muqing’s father’s friend returned to the Blue Star, he shared a lot of information about Dawn City and Yu Jin with them.
Among them were those few names always beside Yu Jin.
Vice City Lord of Dawn City, Yin Yao.
Dawn City’s leader, Neil.
City Lord of Naiya City, Naiya.
And even...
The senior Yu Jin had in university when he was on the Blue Star, supposedly named Yu Pan’Er, who also seemed to greatly please Yu Jin.
"Compared to them..."
"I am nothing, and can’t help at all..."
Bai Zhining turned her head, glancing at Zhong Muqing, who was as naive and delighted as all other Blue Star players, immersed in the joy and excitement of the imminent ascension, and sighed softly.
Sometimes, she even wished she could be ’simpler’ like Zhong Muqing.
"Yu City Lord previously promised a compensation plan..."
"Saying he would allow me to stay by his side and exert some effort..."
"But..."
"Even to stay as an ornament, one must have certain exceptional advantages."
"That Vice City Lord Yin Yao, a powerful Evolver long ago, could help Yu Jin ease his burden in various affairs of Dawn City."
"And I..."
Bai Zhining’s delicate hand beneath her gown clenched tighter.
Her pearly teeth unconsciously bit her red lips a bit harder.
"Perhaps..."
"I should choose the second compensation plan Yu City Lord mentioned earlier..."
"He said it would be a more intimate way..."
Bai Zhining made a decision in her heart.
After losing the Life Attribute, compensation was never what she wanted.
But rather the simple yet tantalizing two words: intimacy.
Meanwhile.
Whoosh——!
From the depths of the City Lord’s Mansion.
A stream of light soared through the air.
Brilliant light enveloped the grand scale of the entire City of Dawn.
"City Lord!"
"Yu City Lord!"
"Savior!"
"Civilization Leader!"
"Light of the Blue Star!"
"..."
The one appearing was Yu Jin.
And inside the city, the diverse voices of over two billion players seemed enough to pierce a hole in the Celestial Vault.
"Yu City Lord!"
"You finally came!"
Above the city.
Zhong Muqing, standing in mid-air, was also shouting excitedly.
Bai Zhining, on the other hand, fixed her gaze firmly on Yu Jin, her eyes brimming with reluctance, as if about to drip like water.
"Here I am."
Yu Jin smiled lightly and responded softly.
Then he lowered his head and glanced around, taking in all the sights within the city.
Besides the tremendously large Martial Arts Plaza filled with billions of players, every street, and even the rooftops and eaves of Dawn City, was crowded with figures.
They shouted, they waved their hands, their expressions fervent and devout.
"Very good."
Yu Jin nodded in satisfaction.
The 2.8 billion Blue Star players of Dawn City, though weak in strength right now, with even the strongest not reaching Tier Six.
However...
They have spirit!
As long as they are full of spirit, once they reach Dawn Fortress, Yu Jin will have resources for them to consume crystals and level up.
Not to say everyone becoming high-tier evolvers of several tiers, at least starting at Tier Nine or Tier Ten is absolutely feasible.
"It’s a pity the system is updating..."
"Otherwise, in this past month, it could have been utilized for them to start consuming crystals and leveling up."
Yu Jin sighed lightly, feeling more and more regretful.
This body of his was only a clone projection, without inheriting the original body’s ability to communicate with the system and the high-dimensional Ophelia Federation, which made him unable to massively procure crystals at Dawn Fortress, nor could he contact the President Funi of the Lambert Chamber of Commerce on Gangval Star to airdrop crystals here.
