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

Chapter 225 Furney's Decision! Finally Becoming a Tier 20 Max-Level Evolver! Has Brother Tong updated yet again?
Furni Lambert, President of the Oak City Lambert Chamber of Commerce.

Fifty years ago.

He was also a newcomer who had been promoted from the galactic wasteland server.

only……

Compared to other new players, Furny was clearly much luckier.

While working as a slave, he unexpectedly met the daughter of the Lambert family.

The Lambert family is a prominent and influential family in Oak City.

After that...

Furney staged a high-dimensional version of "rising to the top," transforming himself into the son-in-law of the Lambert family.

Although he paid the price of marrying into the family and changing his surname.

But along with it comes a status, position, and wealth that other newcomers of the same period could not even imagine.

Today it is today.

Fifty years later, he has even taken over the Lambert family's business affairs and become the president of the business association.

Located in Oak City, this place is adjacent to the Ascended Plaza and receives a large influx of new ascendants every year.

Like other chambers of commerce in Oak City, the Lambert Chamber of Commerce has focused on newcomers as its primary business and target customers for many years.

and.

Thanks to Lambert Chamber of Commerce's thoughtful service and comprehensive max-level training system, it has accumulated a very good reputation in the past.

Even with the same level 20 max-level service, Lambert Merchant Guild charges more than other merchant guilds, yet their business has always been quite good.

but……

For nearly fifty years, Furni's mind was stirred up like never before when he saw the long string of numbers on the screen in front of him.

58 billion!
58 billion wasteland source!
Even as the son-in-law of the Lambert family, Furney had never seen such a terrifying account balance!

This……

It was from a newly promoted player, a young man named 'Ember'!

After a while.

The other party chose Lambert Chamber of Commerce's 'Level 20 Max Level Service' and readily paid the full amount in one lump sum.

It was at that moment.

Ember's account balance was subsequently exposed.

These newly promoted players are almost unaware, without anyone notifying them, that when payments exceed a certain amount (10), the account balance will automatically be displayed to the payee.

To avoid this, it must be set up in advance.

obviously.

The young man named 'Ember' was unaware of this.

That's why.

Only then were these numbers revealed to Furni.

"Is it really not a system error?"

"This balance..."

"It's absolutely impossible for that to happen..."

Furni was still muttering to himself.

As the son-in-law of the Lambert family, he also had some understanding of the wealthy class in Oak City and even on Gondwall.

As far as he knew, the richest man in Oak City, the patriarch of the Lambert family, and his father-in-law, had a total wealth of only tens of millions!

Even the richest man on Gondwana...

The patriarch of the Gondwald family, whose wealth is on the surface, certainly does not reach tens of billions!

In other words.

This young man named 'Ember' may seem to have just been promoted from a low-dimensional server, but in reality, he could almost become the richest man on Gondwane!
Even more terrifying is...

This 58 billion is the account balance, which is the available liquid funds.

Unlike his father-in-law and the richest man on Gondwana, whose wealth includes fixed assets and even virtual market value.

“Hoo, ho, ho—”

Furni stared intently at the numbers on the screen, panting heavily.

A devilish voice whispered incessantly in his heart.

"He's just a newbie, a newbie who doesn't know anything..."

"He doesn't even know to turn off the account balance display..."

"Such astronomical wealth..."

"You can easily get it by simply moving your finger..."

"A newbie who hasn't even reached level 20, with no limit-breaking ability, is no different from an ordinary person..."

"And you, Furni Lambert, are a powerful Tier 4 Unlimited..."

Furney's breathing quickened slightly.

until...

Ding!
A crisp sound.

A communication notification tone sounded in his ear.

The communication came from his wife, a princess of the Lambert family, who was also the woman who changed his destiny.

"Dear~"

When will the work be finished?

"Today is our anniversary, I'm waiting for you at home~"

His wife's words were like a gentle spring breeze, soft and tender.

"I……"

Furni fell silent for a moment.

"I'll be home soon."

He looked at the elegant woman with curved eyebrows on the communication screen and responded softly.

"Good!"

"I'll be waiting for you!"

Beep——!
The call ended, and Furney took a deep breath, returning to reality.

"No, this shouldn't be happening..."

Greed is the root of all disasters.

"I have my dearest Eileen, a happy and stable life, a prominent status, and more than enough wealth..."

"I shouldn't take risks, I shouldn't let greed blind me."

"A fortune of 58 billion Source Points is far beyond what I, or even the entire Lambert family, can afford to touch!"

A text message from his wife jolted Furni awake, and he resisted the temptation with tremendous willpower.

Having served as president of the chamber of commerce for decades, Furney is no fool.

Although he didn't know how the young man named Ember had acquired such terrifying wealth.

but……

Everything has a source.

perhaps……

Is this ember the illegitimate child of a powerful family in the Federation that has been living away from home?
In short.

Behind the 58 billion source points, there is most likely an enormous background!
"Not only should we not touch him, but we must also treat him with the utmost courtesy and respect!"

Furney made the decision and quickly relayed the order.

Swah——

The screen displaying a long string of numbers disappeared before his eyes.

only……

What Furney didn't know was...

The numbers on the screen in front of him disappeared.

On the same floor, in the Chamber of Commerce's office area, Vice President Ed Lambert was staring at the digital balance of 58 billion source points, panting heavily.

This scion of the Lambert family, Furney's brother-in-law, had completely lost his temper...

"So much money, so much money!"

"Money that my father and family couldn't earn in dozens of generations!"

"As long as we have this money..."

"I can build my own family, I can own my own planet!"

……

……

Wasteland game.

Locke Star Domain Server, U-1074 node.

This is the landing site chosen by Ember.

now.

Ember stood on a desolate wasteland.

Beneath my feet lies a familiar yet unfamiliar wasteland planet, and above me stretches an endless starry sky.

"At first glance..."

"It seems extremely similar to the galactic wasteland, and even to planet A3."

Yu Jin sighed softly and turned to look into the distance.

Several dozen kilometers away from where he landed, there was a small city quietly nestled.

"Go into the city?"

"Should we just find a place in the wild to consume crystals and break through?"

Yu Jin frowned and thought for a moment before making a decision.

"Enter the city!"

Reaching level 20 through crystal consumption is not something that can be done in a short time; in fact, it is more dangerous in the wild.

hum-

The spatial fluctuations spread, and Yu Jin's figure vanished from the spot.

It is worth mentioning that.

The login node he chose was not the one provided by the Furni Chamber of Commerce.

For Ember, choosing the Furniture Merchant Guild's package deal was simply a way to quickly access the Wasteland servers.

Training partner? Escort?
Not at all.

Not to mention that he already had some Tier 20 Crystal Embers, so he simply chose another node at random, planning to leave as soon as he broke through to Tier 20.

"Odin City?"

“This name is surprisingly similar to Oak City…” In front of the wasteland city, Ember paused slightly, gazing at the huge sign at the city gate.

Immediately afterwards, he stepped into the city.

The scenes within the city are noticeably different from those on Planet A3 and in the galactic wasteland.

The people coming and going on the street were not survivors, but groups of three or five.

The team is usually led by a level 20 max-level coach, followed by newbies who are not yet level 20.

“Eight hundred miles south of Odin City lies a nest of high-level infected!”

"We'll hunt down those infected and get high-level crystals for you to use!"

Ember heard similar words from the passing crowd.

"Tsk——"

"Does crystallization require fighting monsters on-site?"

"In this respect, they are far inferior to the Lambert Chamber of Commerce."

Yu Jin shook his head.

Although he didn't go to the Lambert Chamber of Commerce's designated point, the other party made it very clear when he made the payment—

"Nanny-style service, no need to lift a finger, just enjoy the crystals!"

"And the quality of the crystals is guaranteed, with a purity of at least 90%!"

Crystals with 90% purity are definitely not low.

However, compared to the 100% pure crystals of Ember itself, it is obviously still far inferior.

This is also one of the reasons why Ember didn't choose to team up with others, but instead went to find a place to consume crystals on his own.

"gentlemen?"

"A newcomer to Odin City?"

"Leveling up alone is dangerous and time-consuming. How about a training companion/escort service?"

Yu Jin had only stopped for a short while when vendors surrounded him again, advertising their wares.

"Not really."

Yu Jin waved his hand and stepped deeper into the depths.

Before long, he found his destination.

"On servers with such a strong leveling atmosphere, there are indeed places specifically for secluded cultivation and crystal farming."

Before Yu Jin stood a crystal tower.

The entrances and exits of the Crystal Tower were bustling with people.

The name of the Crystal Tower is also very simple and straightforward—the Tower of Max Level!
Obviously.

This is a place specifically for players to intensively cultivate and use crystals to improve their skills.

When Yu Jin arrived at the tower, he was quickly greeted by dedicated staff.

After paying 10,000 Source Points.

Ember was led to the 99th floor of the Crystal Tower.

This is the best floor of the Crystal Tower. According to the staff, it even has a special absorption array engraved on it—created by a rare 20th-tier evolver with the 'array' attribute.

"That……"

"I won't bother you any longer!"

"If needed, you can contact us anytime via the communication crystal in the room!"

"You have chosen our Supreme Retreat Suite, which is fully equipped and serviced!"

"Food, drink, even the maids who served him in bed..."

"Just say the word, and we'll arrange it anytime!"

Before the embers, a slender woman in a cheongsam uniform bowed respectfully.

From the embers, one can see the majestic mountains and deep ravines.

"understood."

Yu Jin looked away and responded.

Although the woman was somewhat attractive, she wasn't attractive enough to cause any emotional fluctuations.

At Dawn Fortress, any one of the women, including Yin Yaona, Sha Aili, or any of them, would be stunningly beautiful, far surpassing the beauty of these maids.

not to mention.

Ember's true purpose for this trip was to break through to the maximum level.

Even if someone with even more stunning looks and charm than Yin Yao and the others came along, it wouldn't sway Yu Jin.

"Ok!"

"Wishing you a successful retreat and a speedy level up!"

The maid in the cheongsam withdrew.

In the spacious tower room, only Ember remained.

"After all that trouble, I can finally get some crystals!"

Yu Jin sighed and sat down on the special jade futon in the center of the room.

Snap!
I don't know how much time has passed.

The familiar, crisp sound of crystals cracking echoed in Yu Jin's ears.

[You have used a 'Tier 20 Energy Crystal'!]

Your attribute energy is increasing...

"not enough?"

"Then come again."

Snap!
Crunch, crunch—!
in the room.

The crisp sound never ceased to be heard.

The elemental energy within Yu Jin's body surged and raged even more violently.

Swah——

Swish-

A kaleidoscope of colors, symbolizing different attributes, appeared around him.

Faintly.

It coalesced into a colorful lotus with more than ten colors.

Time passes slowly.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Om-!
The void surrounding Yu Jin suddenly shattered.

He then opened his eyes, which sparkled with electricity.

"Breakthrough..."

The embers murmured softly.

this moment.

The strange phenomena surrounding him had completely disappeared.

Instead, there is restraint, extreme restraint.

At first glance, they seem no different from ordinary people who have not yet awakened.

But in reality?

The embers have officially broken through that final bottleneck!
He reached the pinnacle of the Evolver's extraordinary system, level 20!
Swah——

Yu Jin had a sudden thought.

After an unknown amount of time, I brought up my complete personal information panel—

Name: Yu Jin

[Rank: 20]

[Limit Relief: 11%]

[Attributes: Light, Lightning, Space, Causality...]

[Identity: Lord of Dawn Fortress, Leader of Blue Star Civilization, Unranked Citizen of the Ophelia Federation]

【ability:……】

……

[Wasteland Source: 58 Billion]

[Evaluation: Right now, you've just stepped into higher dimensions, entered the cosmos for the first time, and are merely a slightly stronger ant...]

Below the personal information panel.

There's also a friendly reminder from Wasteland—

【congratulations!】

[You have become a Tier 20 Transcendent Evolver!]

[You can embark on a path to breaking limits and bring the extraordinary to the reality of higher-dimensional universes!]

This hint...

It makes no difference whether it exists or not.

Ember had already broken the limit before reaching level 20, and by 11%.

"Number..."

"One billion, no more, no less?"

"Compared to before, it really only looks like it's improved by 1 point?"

Yu Jin observed the changes within himself and frowned slightly.

He went through all this trouble, not for this mere 1 point.

You can't...

Is the only benefit of going from level 19 to level 20 really 'opening the path to breaking limits'?

For other players, this could be a huge benefit, the starting point of their journey to higher dimensions.

But what about the embers?

It's pretty useless...

Yu Jin felt a slight unease, continuing to sense further changes and improvements within himself.

Suddenly.

He stood there in a daze.

【Ding--! 】

A crisp sound, the machine cold and metallic.

It doesn't come from Wasteland, but from... the long-silent Tongzi Ge!
After hearing the subsequent prompt, the gloom on Yu Jin's face completely vanished!

Brother Tongzi...

Another version update is coming!
