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

Chapter 105 From this day forward, the sky belongs to Dawn City! (23 words update, please vote with monthly tickets~)

"What happened?"

Outside the city at dawn.

Tens of thousands of refugees felt the sudden tremor of the ground beneath their feet, causing a stir.

earthquake?

I've never heard of earthquakes happening in the wasteland!

and……

Why is the earthquake only affecting the area within a few kilometers of Dawn City?

"Look!"

Suddenly.

Some sharp-eyed refugees noticed that the previously unremarkable Dawn City suddenly revealed a semi-transparent energy shield.

The light shield was enormous, like a dome, covering the entire city of Dawn.

"That is……"

"what?"

The refugees looked at each other, bewildered.

boom--

Rumble——!
The earth shook more and more noticeably beneath their feet.

Even more surprisingly, not far in front of them, huge cracks began to appear on the ground.

click -

Kaka-

The jagged cracks spread like a spider web.

The earth shattered as a result, and some refugees, mustering their courage, approached. What came into view was a dazzling blue halo beneath the earth that blurred their vision.

"Retreat first! Retreat first!"

"Be careful not to fall into the crack, it's very dangerous!"

The quick-thinking refugees immediately organized their companions and retreated in a direction away from Dawn City.

boom--

Rumble——!
The earth was still shaking, and the ravines continued to spread.

But soon.

The refugees discovered a pattern.

"The cracks in the earth all seem to originate from Dawn City..."

"They're like a circle, completely surrounding Dawn City!"

Someone shouted at the top of their lungs.

Tens of thousands of refugees gazed at Dawn City from afar, their eyes filled with curiosity and awe.

Whoosh-!
Whizzing--!
Suddenly.

Streams of blue-white energy surged forth from the cracks in the earth surrounding Dawn City!

It only lasted a few seconds.

Countless blue and white rays of light, like pillars, surrounded the entire city of Dawn.

boom-boom—!
A loud bang came from beneath Dawn City.

then……

Under the astonished gaze of tens of thousands of refugees.

Dawn City has begun to rise little by little!

"Can people grow taller in refuge cities?"

Some displaced people raised a soul-searching question.

But soon.

He realized he had been oversimplifying things.

"It's not that I've grown taller..."

"It's taking off!"

"Dawn City is taking off!"

Tens of thousands of refugees were utterly horrified by what they saw!
They felt a chill run down their spines, and they got goosebumps all over their bodies!

now.

The ground shook.

now.

Dawn City, along with the surrounding land for several hundred meters, slowly floated into the sky.

This scene is beyond words!
boom--

Boom——!
Loud noises echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

It was only a short moment.

Where Dawn City once stood, only a bottomless, enormous crater remains.

And Dawn City?

The entire city, like a warship, has risen dozens of meters into the air!
and.

After rising to a certain height, Dawn City began to expand at a visible rate.

"mom, Mom, Mom!"

"I saw a miracle, a miracle..."

A young man knelt on the ground and shouted shrilly.

but……

None of the other refugees around him mocked him.

Because everyone felt the same shock at that moment!

Amidst the shock, there was an indescribable sense of bewilderment!

When did they meet...?

A flying refuge?

boom--

Rumble——!
The loud noises continued.

In no time at all.

The area occupied by Dawn City, or rather, its 'empty' area, has expanded to about four times its original size.

It is daytime now.

But the shadow cast by the city walls enveloped tens of thousands of refugees.

They craned their necks and raised their heads.

What you can see are those blue-white energy streams, each over a hundred meters in diameter, below Dawn City!
It is like a warship engine, constantly gushing forth, supporting this unprecedented sky city!
And Dawn City.

After ceasing its expansion, it continued to rise slowly, flying towards the higher heavens!
……

……

"Flying, it's flying?"

Dawn in the inner city.

Martial Arts Square.

Chen Gang stared blankly at the sky that was getting closer and closer, his expression a complex mix of emotions.

For the past twenty-one years.

He had taken off many times, but this time, he took off with the city!

The inner and outer walls of Dawn City.

150,000 subjects were all looking up at the sky.

Everyone was extremely excited, and many people, not knowing how to express their emotions, were already doing 'high jump' exercises on the spot!
three days ago.

The city lord told them that Dawn City would undergo an ascension, becoming a floating city in the sky.

three days later.

Dawn City detached itself from the earth and soared into the sky!

At this moment, I am overwhelmed with emotions that defy description, only…

"loyalty!"

……

……

The core area of ​​Dawn City.

Ember's right hand was pressed on the 'City Core'.

[Beep beep——]

[Dawn City's advancement is complete!]

[Dawn City's level has been increased from 0 to 2!]

The 'Sky' feature is now activated!

You can manually or mentally control the levitation and movement of Dawn City!

Alternatively, you can choose to land Dawn City on the ground to reduce energy consumption!

【hint--】

When backup energy is insufficient, Dawn City will automatically select the nearest landing area!

[Current Energy Source: Tier 10 Energy Crystal *1]

Current energy remaining: 99.99%

The cold, mechanical voice ended. Yu Jin let out a long, stale breath.

"Go out and see!"

Behind the embers.

Both Naya and Yin Yao's faces were filled with anticipation.

Especially the former.

She didn't quite understand why Ember chose the 'Sky' trait instead of the 'Purify' trait at first.

But at the moment.

When Dawn City truly rose from the ground and soared into the sky.

Even as a former level 8 city lord of Naya City, she couldn't help but feel envious...

……

……

Om-!
The figure of Yu Jin appeared in the sky above the training ground.

"loyalty!"

The shouts shook the entire city.

Ember smiled, his gaze sweeping around as he surveyed the changes in Dawn City—

The area has increased nearly four times compared to before.

The streets outside the city have become wide and clean.

The training ground in the inner city area has also been expanded considerably.

Moreover, new buildings appeared out of nowhere, both inside and outside the city.

"Yufei is right."

"The essence of the refuge city is a game facility!"

Yu Jin took a light breath and made a thought.

Swah——

A semi-transparent panel appeared in front of him.

This is the 'control panel' of Dawn City.

There are many, many, and dazzling options on it.

Takeoff, landing, forward movement, backward movement—these are the most basic actions.

Ember's gaze fell on the 'weapon' option.

This time, Dawn City's advancement was not from level 0 to level 1, but a direct jump to level 2.

2级避难城需要10座属城，50万属民，以及5000名进化者（其中包含3位五阶进化者）。

The first two conditions were met after the first expedition.

Originally, only the third condition was missing: the number of fifth-tier evolvers.

And in the past three days.

Yin Yao successfully broke through from the fourth to the fifth rank by continuously feeding herself with Ember Crystals.

Although Chen Gang is usually loud and boisterous, he is very serious about consuming crystals. He has been consuming crystals and digesting energy day and night for three days and successfully broke through to the fifth level this morning.

With Neil included, the third condition was successfully met.

Therefore, Dawn City was promoted to a Level 2 Refuge City.

The 'Weapon' option is a new effect of the 'Sky' trait after reaching level 2 Refuge City.

The effect of the Tier 1 Refuge's 'Sky' trait is 'Light Barrier'.

This refers to the energy shield currently surrounding Dawn City.

It can insulate against the strong winds generated when Dawn City flies, while also providing the entire city with extremely strong stability.

This stability meant that even if Ember suddenly 'accelerated' Dawn City, the people in the city would not feel any shaking or staggering.

There are many buttons on the control panel, but they are all grayed out, and even the text information cannot be viewed.

Obviously.

Unlocking them requires a higher Refuge level.

call--

Yu Jin sighed, shook his head, and cleared his mind of distractions.

He reached out and tapped the 'weapon' button.

click -

Kaka——!
A series of sounds, like gears turning, rang out.

The sound came from four corners of Dawn City.

Om-!
Another tremor.

At the four corners of Dawn City, four enormous cannon platforms rise from the ground.

"Let's give it a shot!"

Yu Jin had a sudden thought.

boom--!
Pale blue beams of light shot out from the four cannon platforms and flew towards the surrounding clouds.

Yu Jin didn't fire the cannon at the ground; he knew there were still many refugees below.

However, with Yu Jin's current ninth-level perception, even if he were to fire a shot into the clouds, he could roughly estimate the power of the attack.

"Probably..."

"A full-force attack from a sixth or seventh-tier evolved being?"

Yu Jin was quite satisfied with this result.

Although Tier 6 and Tier 7 are very weak, this is only the beginning, and Dawn City is only Tier 2.

As the level increases in the future, it's not impossible to even kill a ninth-tier character with a single shot!
"Not bad!"

"Sky City's choice seems to have been absolutely correct!"

Yu Jin was in a very good mood.

He put away the control panel and looked down at the 150,000 subjects who were staring at him with fervor.

"Starting today."

"The sky belongs to Dawn City!"

Yu Jin raised his arms and shouted.

"The sky belongs to Dawn City!"

"Loyalty!"

The inner and outer walls of Dawn City.

150,000 subjects shouted in unison for a long time.

……

……

boom--

Rumble——!
Dawn City did not continue to rise into the air; instead, after reaching a certain height, it began to slowly descend towards the ground below.

Not long after.

Dust and sand rose, but Dawn City landed steadily.

boom-boom—!
There was a loud bang.

The long-closed gates of Dawn City have been opened once again.

not far away.

The tens of thousands of refugees were so excited when they saw this scene that they almost jumped up on the spot.

"Open, open!"

"The gates of Dawn City have opened!"

"We have a chance, a real chance, to join this Sky City!"

……

……

Dawn City.

core zone.

Yu Jin sat cross-legged on the bed, taking deep breaths to calm himself.

He's about to break through to the tenth rank!

He had waited a long time for this moment.

at this time.

Within the core area, there was no one else but himself.

Neither Yin Yao nor Naya were allowed to stay here by Yu Jin.

Even Yu Jin couldn't guarantee what would happen after breaking through to the tenth rank.

even if...

According to Tongzi, the rules of the level 2 refuge city have been weakened, making the risk of being caught by the server when he breaks through to level 10 very low.

Even if the risk is low, it still exists.

Swah——

In Yu Jin's hand, there was a crystal that shone as brightly as a star.

Snap!
[You have used a 'Tenth-Order Energy Crystal'!]

[Energy surplus...]

You're one step closer to becoming a Tier 10 Evolver!

Snap!
One piece isn't enough?
Then have another one!
