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

Chapter 53 Discovery
Lao Yu's Noodle Shop.

Room on the second floor.

The crisp cracking sounds came one after another.

On the panel in front of Yu Jin, lines of text information also popped up—

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

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

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

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

……

Instead of being frugal, Yu Jin consumed all the crystals he had collected from the hospital that day in one go.

"Hoping to advance to the seventh rank..."

Yu Jin murmured, his consciousness gradually fading.

His vision quickly went dark.

……

……

Time flies by.

The blazing sun, which had been high in the sky, slowly sank toward the edge of the horizon.

Ding ding——!
Similar to the first time he used crystals, Yu Jin was also woken up by his phone ringing this time.

"Well……"

Yu Jin opened his eyes, his consciousness gradually shifting from drowsiness to full wakefulness.

He didn't answer the phone immediately, but instead looked at the panel in front of him.

You're one step closer to becoming a seventh-tier evolver!

"pity."

Yu Jin sighed softly.

Although he didn't directly advance to the seventh rank, Yu Jin could feel that he was truly only one step away from the seventh rank.

"The peak of the late stage of the sixth rank, reaching the ultimate perfection?"

Yu Jin thought of the descriptions in cultivation novels.

"After I get back to Jiangcheng tonight, I'll go to Jiangcheng Hospital again. I should be able to get some more crystals."

Yu Jin made a plan in his mind.

Jiangcheng is not like Yizhou; the scale of Jiangcheng's hospitals is far ahead in the entire central and southern part of Daxia.

This means it will take in more types of terminally ill patients, thus giving Embers an opportunity to fleece them.

Ding ding——!
The phone was still vibrating, and Yu Jin reached out and picked it up.

Upon seeing the caller ID note, Yu Jin subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

"Old Cui?"

As college roommates, we were familiar with each other, but unless there was an emergency, we would not usually bombard each other with phone calls like this—Yu Jin's phone showed that there were more than a dozen missed calls from Lao Cui.

beep--

The call is connected.

"Lao Yu!"

Old Cui's voice was urgent and tense.

Are you busy right now?

"Come back soon if you're not busy. Yufei says he's made a major discovery in the Wasteland game!"

"No matter how much I asked Brother Gang, he wouldn't tell me. He insisted on waiting for you to come back before he would say anything!"

……

……

wow-

Yu Jin pulled down the roller shutter of 'Old Yu's Noodle Shop'.

Standing at the door, I hailed a Didi (ride-hailing service) that drove directly from Yizhou to Jiangcheng.

The fare wasn't cheap, over three hundred yuan, but Yu Jin had rice, so he wouldn't make things difficult for himself just to save money.

Not a moment.

Yu Jin got into the back seat of Didi.

The driver was driving very fast, and the wind outside was rushing in through the car windows.

As the embers blew in the wind, they recalled Old Cui's description on the phone.

"Do you really want to wait until I get back to talk about this?"

Ember was somewhat curious.

It's important to know that Yufei isn't like Brother Gang, who's loud and boastful. He's calm, collected, and extremely quick-witted.

Since he said that, it means that his discovery in Wasteland is very likely related to himself.

"You'll find out when we get back."

Yu Jin thought for a while, then stopped worrying and looked down to unlock his phone.

[I've sent you the event plan, club president.]

This is a message Yin Yao sent to herself in the afternoon.

This is followed by a file titled "Jiangcheng Citywide Environmental Protection Activity Plan.pdf".

Yu Jin opened the document and found that it was not stamped yet.

"The city's environmental protection activities are divided into two parts?"

"The first part is to call on all residents to go out and pick up litter on the streets to clean up pollution near their homes?" "The second part is for Yu Jin and Yin Yao to lead a team to the Jiangcheng Economic Development Zone to address pollution from chemical plants?"

"..."

Yu Jin carefully read through the plan.

He discovered—

The plan did not specify what the 'chemical plant management method' should be.

To know.

Chemical plant pollution is the culprit of urban pollution, and its treatment is far more difficult than actions such as picking up trash or cleaning up sewage rivers.

and……

The owners of chemical plants may not be very willing to cooperate with such environmental protection initiatives.

For Yu Jin, this is both environmental protection and a way to get freebies and earn points.

But for the chemical plant owner, this is a clear case of cutting off his vital points and his source of income.

but……

Considering Yin Yao's background, Yu Jin felt that these problems shouldn't be a problem.

"Being a kept man is shameful, but you still keep taking big bites..."

Yu Jin sighed and looked out the window.

On the bustling streets of the city, many girls holding up signs that read "New Era Youth Group" were marching in groups.

They shouted in unison:

"New Era, Youth League!"

We all love Ma Qiqi!

Yu Jin shook his head and looked away.

……

……

Jiangcheng University.

Male dormitory building, room 615.

When Yu Jin pushed open the door, Lao Cui, Gang Ge, and Yu Fei were all sitting upright.

In front of each of the three people was a helmet from the game Wasteland.

However, there was an indescribable emotion in their eyes as they looked at the helmet, a mixture of relief and regret.

"Lao Yu!"

As soon as Yu Jin entered the room, Yu Fei, who had been looking down and deep in thought, immediately stood up.

"Hey Lao Yu, you're finally back!"

Gang Ge shouted and pulled Yu Jin to sit down.

"Old Yu".

“I just spent ages questioning Yufei with Gang Ge, and he finally revealed some of his findings before you got back…”

Old Cui looked at Yu Jin, began in a low voice, his expression somewhat complicated.

"What discovery?"

Yu Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.

The mood and atmosphere of Lao Cui and his two companions were clearly a bit off.

"call--!"

Old Cui took a deep breath.

He looked at Yufei, then at Gang Ge, and both of them nodded.

Old Cui then said:

"Didn't Yufei say last time that he awakened the 'Knowledge' attribute in Wasteland?"

"In the past two days, he has also begun to accept this setting and explore the abilities and uses of the 'knowledge' attribute..."

"As a result, Yufei discovered that he had gained a portion of the memories from that crazy old man who claimed to be from Alpha Planet..."

"The memories are incomplete, just scattered fragments, but after Yufei sorted them out and digested them, he unexpectedly learned a piece of information that was suffocating!"

Ember narrowed his eyes even more: "What intelligence?"

"helmet!"

Old Cui raised his voice and pointed to the helmet placed in front of him.

"Yufei discovered—"

"If what that crazy old man said is true, and this game called 'Wasteland' is an alien creation, and we will eventually descend upon that wasteland..."

"The helmet is the medium of arrival!"

"Anyone who has ever come into contact with and put on the helmet will be 100% transported to the wasteland world in the future!"

"As for others, there is a certain probability that they will be forced to pass through if they do not touch the helmet!"

After Old Cui finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then added:
"Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the Wasteland game is truly an alien creation, and that the old man from Alpha Planet's so-called 'descendance in the wasteland' is real..."

To the end.

Old Cui's voice inexplicably weakened.

As time went on, and based on his own experiences and insights into the Wasteland game...

Deep down, Old Cui was increasingly believing what the old man from Alpha Star had said...

He has realized that Wasteland is not a simple game.

Descending into the wasteland—perhaps it really will happen one day!
