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

Chapter 67 Planning
The distance from Jiangcheng to Yizhou is not far, about an hour and a half by car.

In the darkness of night.

A black sedan with a white background and red license plate sped along the highway.

Yu Jin sat in the back seat, looking out the window with a furrowed brow.

He was organizing the information he had received that evening—

First, I finally confirmed the time of my time travel: 12:9 AM on September 9th.

It is now 9 PM on September 7th.

All told, there are 50 hours left.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as 'imminent'.

Secondly, the extraterrestrial visitor 'Oumuamua'.

At the moment the crossing occurs, it will pass through Earth's orbit, brushing past Earth.

At the same time, the 'unknown substances' it carries may also land on Earth.

That 'unknown substance' could instantly corrode even astronomical telescopes observing it from Earth, demonstrating just how incredibly polluting it is.

Ember even suspected—

The planet in the Wasteland game might have originated from this.

Blue Star was the precursor to the wasteland planet.

Wasteland is the future of the blue planet beneath our feet.

Before learning about 'Oumuamua'.

Ember always thought—

For countless people on Earth, traversing the wasteland world was a catastrophe; those who remained on Earth were the lucky ones.

But what does it look like now?
The two seem to be reversed...

Only by traversing the wasteland can one have a chance to survive.

Staying on Earth, however, means facing the pollution of 'unknown substances' and the potential catastrophe.

Think about this.

Yu Jin thought of the 'space' attribute that he had just awakened yesterday.

One of the abilities is—

[Sixth-Order Spatial Attribute Ability: Coordinate Imprint Lv1]

[Active Effect: Marks spatial coordinates (maximum number of coordinates increases with rank), allowing movement between coordinates regardless of distance]

Keywords: Ignoring distance while traversing.

Ember was thinking...

If I leave a 'coordinate mark' on Earth before traversing the wasteland, can I travel back after arriving in the wasteland?
When in doubt, consult Brother Tongzi.

But this time, Brother Tongzi did not cooperate and did not give any response.

"I always felt it wasn't that simple..."

Yu Jin had a gut feeling.

While spatial abilities are powerful, they are ultimately confined to the framework of the Wasteland game.

If we could travel directly from the wasteland back to Earth, wouldn't that be like breaking free from the mold?

It's like no matter how strong a character in a game is, there's no reason for them to jump out of the screen and punch the game designer.

"Unless Brother Tongzi can exert his full strength, the ability of 'Coordinate Imprint' to ignore distance and travel through time will probably still be no match for the game framework itself."

Thinking of this, Yu Jin let out a long breath.

anyway.

He definitely needed to leave his coordinate imprint before crossing over.

As for whether they can return from the wasteland, we'll have to wait and see.

"in addition……"

"And a map."

Yu Jin untied the file bag in his arms and flattened the folded map inside.

The map contains hundreds of thousands of coordinates.

You can't bring anything into the wasteland, so...

Ember could only memorize all the key information on the map during this final period.

[A3-07-456, 587]
[A3-13-210, 652]
[A3-48-533, 999]
[A3-99-142, 761]
……

The format of the coordinates made Yu Jin's eyes narrow slightly.

He thought of the two incomplete maps he had already obtained: A307 and A308.

"It seems our previous guess was correct?"

"A3 represents a planet, 07 represents a region, and the following are numbers like latitude and longitude?"

Yu Jin thought to himself.

At the same time, I'm also going to go back and ask the people around me for their coordinates in the game.

Old Cui, Brother Gang, Yufei, Yin Yao...

Yu Chen, and Old Yu.

Old Yu only wore the helmet once before being hospitalized, and afterwards he locked it in a cabinet, probably not touching it for the past two days.

But once the time travel mechanism and specific timing were determined, Old Yu's fate in the time travel was also set, and Yu Jin naturally wouldn't stop him from logging into the game anymore.

This trip back to Yizhou was precisely for this matter. Superman is Superman, but family is family.

"Let's go back to Yizhou first and find out the coordinates of Old Yu and Yu Chen."

"Ask Mom again if she's willing to wear the helmet and go through time."

At that moment, an unopened helmet lay quietly in the back seat of the car.

This was prepared by Yin Shanhai for Yu Jin in advance.

"Once we've dealt with all this, we'll go back to Jiangda University and explain the time of our time travel to Old Cui and the others in person."

"In the last two days, they can at least make some corresponding preparations."

"Then……"

"Crystal!"

"The crystals I currently possess can significantly improve me, but they are insufficient for a direct advancement."

"If I can get some more high-level crystals from the points shop tonight, my chances of breaking through to the eighth rank will be much greater."

Yu Jin mentally outlined his next course of action.

Ding--

My phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket.

Yu Jin unlocked his phone and found that it was a message from Yin Yao.

Grandpa has already made arrangements for the cleanup of nuclear waste.

[The day after tomorrow, September 9th, early in the morning, someone will escort you by plane to the Great Xia's secret base in the northwest.]

[That place stores all the solidified nuclear waste that Great Xia has accumulated over the past few decades... it should meet your needs.]

I won't be going with you then. On the last day before I travel through time, I want to spend time with my parents.

……

……

| Prefecture.

Xieqiao Lane Residential Area, Lao Yu's Noodle Shop.

When Yu Jin returned, the noodle shop was still open.

It was already 11 p.m., but Old Yu was still enthusiastically playing chess with people.

"Eh?"

"Did your eyes get blurry from playing chess?"

"Why do I think I see Xiao Jin?"

Old Yu was still in a daze.

Yu Jin had already packed up the chessboard and pulled him into the noodle shop.

wow-

Yu Jin pulled down the roller shutter.

Old Yu looked completely bewildered.

After washing up, Cao Fang, who was upstairs preparing to go to sleep, heard the noise and ran downstairs in her slippers.

Upon seeing that it was embers, Cao Fang was first taken aback, then her face lit up with surprise.

"Little Jin!"

"Why did you suddenly come home at this time?"

Yu Jin didn't respond, but pulled the two of them to sit down at the table.

His tone was more serious than ever before:
"What I'm about to tell you might be hard to believe, but it's all true..."

……

ten minutes later.

Old Yu looked bewildered, his brows furrowed, as if he had something on his mind.

Cao Fang, on the other hand, was clutching the hem of her clothes tightly.

"Little Jin..."

"The games you mentioned—time travel, wasteland, and things like Oumuamua, Cataclysm..."

"Is it all true?"

Cao Fang is traditional and conservative. She doesn't usually surf the internet much, and at most she watches period dramas. She simply can't accept this kind of information shock.

"real!"

Yu Jin knew that the two elders would find it hard to accept.

He simply took out his phone, opened the photo album, and played a video for the two of them.

The person in the video is an elderly man with gray hair.

This was just sent by Yin Yao.

Clearly, after learning that Yu Jin was going back to Yizhou, Yin Shanhai guessed that Yu Jin was going to tell his parents about these things.

Similarly, Yin Shanhai also guessed that the two elders would find it hard to believe.

Thus, this specially recorded video came about.

"Hello to Yu Jin's adoptive parents."

"I am Yin Shanhai..."
