"Leader?"
Xiaoming’s Dragon Turtle’s uneven speech made Yang Chu pause slightly.
At this moment.
With Xiaoming’s roar to the sky, the terrifying oppressive force of a Tier Eight Limit Mutant Giant Beast swept over.
If it were any other Extraordinary Being of only Tier Five
faced with such a Mutant Beast, even one titled "Kindly Turtle," they would inevitably feel a sense of dread.
But precisely...
"No."
"If we really talk about a leader..."
"There is only ever one leader for humans, or should I say, for the humans of Blue Star."
"And that great person, has already taken Dawn City and left this planet."
In mid-air.
The young Pingwu City Lord replied calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.
Despite.
He was unable to board the great ship of Dawn City back then, to become a subordinate, nor follow Yu City Lord off this planet on a distant journey.
But...
The existence of Yu Jin remains significant to all players landing on A3 Planet, especially to Blue Star players.
Nothing else to say.
In just over half a year, he went from being a Wasteland wanderer to a Tier Five Extraordinary Being, and now even the City Lord of Pingwu Sanctuary City.
Just because...
When heading towards Dawn City, even though it was already full and no longer accepting new subordinates,
still, adhering to the protection and shelter for Blue Star players, Yang Chu acquired considerable resource benefits of Energy Crystals from Dawn City.
Not only that.
Before leaving, even though that Legendary City Lord did not show up, he still cast the "Purifying Divine Skill" upon Naiya City and all nearby Blue Star players.
That hazy light, capable of dispelling all pollution, left a deep impression on Yang Chu to this day.
It was because of the resource benefits for Blue Star players distributed by Dawn City, and the healing from the Purifying Light clearing the pollution level, that Yang Chu could become a Tier Five Extraordinary Evolver, achieved what he has today.
In fact.
Nowadays on A3 Planet, any player from Blue Star who did not join Dawn City initially,
although seemingly "abandoned" as "left behind," have actually achieved various degrees of accomplishment.
In the vast Wasteland Wilderness.
At least, it is nearly impossible to see any Wasteland wanderers from Blue Star.
"Oh?"
Yu Jin was unaware of Yang Chu’s thoughts.
But his answer brought a satisfied smile to Yu Jin’s face.
The Legendary City Lord Yang Chu referred to was naturally himself.
But...
Yu Jin thought for a moment but still didn’t reveal his identity directly.
Even if he said it, the other party might not believe.
When the time is right.
Many things will become clear even without him saying.
With such thoughts, rather than actively exposing his identity, Yu Jin replied with a seemingly serious echo.
"Yes, that’s right, exactly so."
"We, Blue Star, only have one leader."
As the words fell.
Yang Chu, returning from his thoughts to reality, again scrutinized Yu Jin strangely and curiously.
No matter if it’s the previous Mandarin, or the current "our" phrasing, including looks and characteristics, nothing revealed the other party as a Blue Star player just like himself.
But...
Yang Chu looked down at the Mutated Giant Turtle under Yu Jin’s feet.
He moved his lips wanting to say something, but ultimately kept silent.
This Kindly Turtle used to be Yu City Lord’s steed.
But...
When Yu City Lord left, he didn’t take it with him.
Now.
This Mutated Giant Turtle seemingly found a new master, which, while somewhat disrespectful to Yu City Lord, ultimately is the turtle’s own decision.
"I am Yang Chu, from Jiang City."
"Before crossing over, I was a student at Jiang City Industrial University."
"Now..."
"They call me City Lord, the City Lord of Pingwu Sanctuary City."
Yang Chu, agreeing with Yu Jin’s remark of being "one of us," took the initiative to introduce himself, even though the other side had just instantly called his name.
"Alright, Yang Chu."
"I am called..."
Yu Jin paused halfway through his words.
He thought—
If he truly said his name was Yu Jin, it might lead to some cliché "Dragon King’s Return Identity Reveal" drama.
But...
Change the name?
Yu Jin found that equally mundane.
"My surname is Yu, like in Yu Jin."
"You can call me, Student Yu, or even Old Yu."
Yu Jin’s words left Yang Chu’s expression slightly strange.
On Blue Star.
The surname "Yu" is not uncommon.
In his former college dorm, there was a roommate with the surname Yu.
But...
This was the first time Yang Chu encountered someone touching upon the name of the Legendary City Lord while introducing themselves using the surname.
Just...
Though it felt strange, there was no issue with the other party saying so.
"Alright, Yu... Student Yu."
Yang Chu called out somewhat awkwardly.
"Haha."
Yu Jin, upon hearing, laughed lightly.
Swoosh—
The next moment.
He waved his hand.
In the void, an invisible large hand suddenly appeared.
The Tier Five Yang Chu didn’t even react before being gently lifted by that hand to the top of Xiaoming’s head, standing beside Yu Jin.
"..."
Yang Chu’s eyes widened, his heart racing.
And the next second.
Yu Jin’s voice sounded—
"So, Yang Chu, my friend."
"Why not join me on a visit to your Sanctuary City?"
"I happen to have some business there."
As soon as the words fell.
Boom—
Rumble—
Xiaoming, having stood still for a moment, began moving its mountain-like massive body again.
The earth shook within a radius of dozens of miles.
And in the distance.
The view of Pingwu Sanctuary City, becoming clearer as the distance closed.
