I've already reached the maximum level, and you guys are just starting out?

Chapter 1 Recruitment
Jiangcheng University.

The Hundred Learning Building, with its tiered lecture halls.

The annual club recruitment event.

Yu Jin stared blankly at the semi-transparent gray text in front of him.

[You have successfully tamed and contained the Tier 3 mutated beast king 'Shadow Panther', Wasteland Points +800!]

A few minutes ago, after Yu Jin casually fed a stray calico kitten a sausage, this line of text appeared before his eyes.

After a simple experiment, Ember discovered—

This line of text is only visible to myself.

For example, Tang Yunxuan, who is sitting right across from him right now and staring intently into the distance, cannot see this semi-transparent panel at all.

As the vice president of his environmental protection club, this guy's eyes were fixed on the junior girls from the dance club across the street. Yu Jin even heard him swallow hard.

Yu Jin shook his head, no longer looking at Tang Yunxuan, and returned his attention to the line of text in front of him.

"A third-tier mutated beast king?"

"Shadow Leopard?"

Yu Jin carefully pondered these two words, unable to connect them with the adorable little calico he had fed earlier.

"Are you hallucinating because you've been staying up too late lately?"

Yu Jin shook his head vigorously, making his head spin, but the words in front of him remained clear.

"system?"

Yu Jin, a long-time user of Qidian who had read many online novels, immediately called out in his heart.

no response.

"Deep blue?"

"..."

"Brother Tongzi?"

"..."

"Get your reward?"

After several attempts, the semi-transparent panel in front of Yu Jin finally changed.

Below the initial line of gray text, a small button icon appears.

The icon has three big words written on it: "Awesome!"

Yu Jin fell into deep thought.

Oh no, this feels like the rewards from the MMO Alliance.
Yu Jin reached out and tapped the button in front of him that read "Great!"

【Reward received successfully! 】

[You have earned 800 Wasteland Points!]

【hint--】

[The points shop will be unlocked once you accumulate 10000 Wasteland Points!]

Keep up the good work and try your best to survive in this perilous wasteland!

Yu Jin stared at the last line of text and fell into deep thought once again.

"A wasteland world fraught with danger?"

"Live on with all your might...?"

Yu Jin looked up.

The tiered classroom was brightly lit.

The central air conditioning was blowing cool air, dispelling the summer heat.

Full of energy, the freshmen, with their clear and innocent eyes, lingered and chatted in front of the recruitment billboards of various clubs.

"Wow, the gaming club's weekly activity is a five-person sit-in at an internet cafe!"

"There are so many girls in the dance club, and they're so fair-skinned and beautiful!"

"I've loved dancing since I was little, I love dancing so much, waaaaah!"

"Pah! You don't just like dancing, you like dance students! You're just lusting after people's bodies! You're despicable!"

"..."

Although the environmental protection club where Yu Jin lived was deserted and no one paid any attention to it.

But that doesn't prevent Ember from making a judgment—

This is a peaceful, stable, and thriving civilized society!
What kind of perilous world is this? What kind of wasteland is this?
"This system is most likely bugged."

"But it's not a big problem. Since we're already here, let's not leave..."

"After the club recruitment event ends, I'll go feed a few stray kittens, collect 10,000 of those 'Wasteland Points,' and see what that points mall is all about."

Yu Jin thought to himself.

And just then... Whoosh—!
The previously noisy and chaotic lecture hall suddenly erupted into a unified exclamation.

"Depend on!"

"Yin Yao actually came to the recruitment event too!"

Sitting next to Yu Jin, Tang Yunxuan, the vice president and only member of the environmental protection club, also let out a strange cry.

"Yin Yao?"

Yu Jin murmured the name, following Tang Yunxuan's gaze.

At the entrance of the lecture hall.

A figure stood quietly, seemingly surrounded by an aura.

She was tall and slender, and her simple yet luxurious white dress accentuated her elegant curves. Her hair cascaded down like a waterfall, making her skin appear even whiter than snow.

Her features were delicate, her skin was fair, and her eyes and brows exuded an innate air of nobility.

As a prominent figure at Jiangcheng University and the dream goddess of countless male students, Yin Yao's background is said to be extremely influential.

Yin Yao's sudden appearance silenced the previously noisy classroom. All eyes were focused on her, but no one dared to look directly at her for too long.

The boys held their breath, their hearts racing, while the girls secretly envied her poise.

"President, what brings you here?"

In the center of the lecture hall, a tall girl emerged from the dance club, which was surrounded by a group of freshmen.

Yu Pan'er, the vice president of the dance club, is pursued by many younger and older students because of her beautiful appearance and status as a dance student.

However, when she stood in front of Yin Yao, her temperament was clearly far inferior.

When asked by Yu Pan'er, Yin Yao simply shook her head without answering.

She slightly raised her eyes, her gaze searching for something in the crowd.

soon.

Yin Yao seemed to have locked onto her target.

And the other side.

Yu Jin frowned slightly.

"Damn it!" Tang Yunxuan let out a low scream, "Old Yu, Yin Yao is looking in my direction, she's looking at me! Hiss—she's walking towards me!"

Da, da, da——

The lecture hall, which was filled with hundreds of people, was completely silent at this moment, with only the crisp sound of Yin Yao's heels hitting the ground echoing.

Not a moment later.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the freshmen and upperclassmen, Yin Yao walked straight to the table of the environmental protection club.

"Senior Sister Yin!"

Tang Yunxuan's face flushed red, and he stammered as he spoke.

What merit or ability does Tang Yunxuan possess to have Senior Sister Yin personally come to him today?
"Hello."

Yin Yao spoke, her voice sounding strange, as if she was used to being indifferent, but now she was forcing out a bit of politeness and... attentiveness?
"You, you're fine too!"

Tang Yunxuan responded hastily.

But Yin Yao wasn't actually looking at him. When she said that, her clear eyes were fixed on Yu Jin, as if trying to see something in him.

"Is something wrong?"

Yu Jin frowned, unsure when he had gotten involved with this person.

Moreover, he didn't like this kind of relationship.

Just like now.

Yu Jin could feel the unfriendly gazes directed at him from hundreds of male classmates throughout the lecture hall.

"I want to join your environmental protection club."

Yin Yao spoke softly, her tone revealing a hint of determination, as if she had been fully prepared for this moment.

This sentence left everyone in the lecture hall looking bewildered once again.

Especially Yu Pan'er, the vice president of the dance club, who followed closely behind Yin Yao.

Is our club president going to join another club?
It's still the most deserted environmental protection club, with only two people in total: a president and a vice president.
Yu Pan'er suddenly felt that her nose was a little red and swollen, as if something was about to grow out...

She had naively thought that her club president was there to promote the dance club during the recruitment event!

And the next second.

The conversation between Yin Yao and Yu Jin was so devastating that it drove the vice president of the dance club to the brink of collapse.

"You're the president of the dance club, so joining our environmental protection club isn't really appropriate for you."

"I can cancel."
