“Finally, this last step is here!”
Yu Yuan let out a soft sigh.
Eighty-two days ago, because of a [Bloodstained Letter] in the game, he had come to this [Wasteland: Bastion of Civilization] game.
Starting from being ranked 10,000th on the Shelter Leaderboard, he had now finally walked the entire path of the Rock Rank.
He had also gone from being completely alone at the start to possessing his own civilization now.
Of the dangers and hardships involved, only he knew best.
Now, he had finally delivered a satisfactory result.
There was no need to linger in the Rock Rank any longer. It was time to go and experience the splendor of the Bronze Rank.
Looking up at the War Fortress Square, where soldiers were constantly bustling about.
Yu Yuan notified Quis, Zhou Yuan, and Black Flame to pause the transmissions.
As the Transmission Portal entered a dormant state.
His gaze fell upon the button under the [Shelter Leaderboard] page – Ascend – Bronze Rank.
He confirmed the [Ascend].
[Player ID ‘Yu Yuan Shelter’ requests ascension to Bronze Rank. Confirm?]
— [Yes]
The moment Yu Yuan confirmed.
Yu Yuan felt as if the entire world had entered a state of suspension.
He felt a powerful sense of detachment.
Unable to move, unable to speak, everything had come to a standstill.
A nameless panic rose within Yu Yuan.
But immediately after, he felt as though the entire world was moving.
There was no evidence, just a feeling.
It was as if the world he was in had been grabbed by some immense force, moved from one location to another.
When that feeling disappeared.
The world’s suspended state was also lifted.
“What… was that just now?”
A question appeared in Yu Yuan’s mind.
He watched the soldiers on the fortress square, who continued to bustle about.
They seemed completely unaware of what had just happened.
Nothing was out of the ordinary.
After taking several deep breaths, Yu Yuan looked at the Virtual Light Screen.
[Player ID ‘Yu Yuan Shelter’ ascension complete. Connecting to Bronze Rank Star Tracks.]
[You are now a Civilization Ladder – Bronze Rank player. Bronze Rank permissions unlocked. Leaderboard Challenge permissions unlocked. Shelter restrictions lifted.]
[Congratulations! Player ID ‘Yu Yuan Shelter’ has exited the Shelter Leaderboard and joined the Bronze Rank · Player Leaderboard. Performing ranking evaluation… Current leaderboard rank: 7,867.]
[Player ID ‘Yu Yuan Shelter’ has joined the [Bronze · Chat Channel].]
Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly at the prompts on the Virtual Light Screen.
“Rank 7,867? Looks like it’s thanks to those three Legendary-tier achievements worth 350,000 Achievement Points.”
This was already within Yu Yuan’s expectations.
After all, it wasn’t like anyone could get three Legendary-tier achievements at once.
Let alone the Rock Rank, he estimated that even Bronze Rank players rarely obtained Legendary-tier achievements.
Not just those three Legendary-tier achievements, but including the five Epic-tier achievements he had obtained earlier, there must have been plenty of residual points left over.
It was just that at the time, his shelter ranking had already reached first place on the leaderboard, with no room to rise further.
So, it wasn’t apparent.
But unexpectedly, with all that accumulated power, the moment he ascended to Bronze Rank, it had boosted his ranking all the way to 7,867.
It was as exaggerated as taking off like a rocket.
Just then, a mechanical prompt echoed in Yu Yuan’s ears again, accompanied by an epic symphonic piece of music.
[Civilization Event – Civilization Overlord I completed. Rewards obtained: Golden Civilization Chest × 1, Civilization Points × 500]
“Finally done! That makes three Golden Civilization Chests now. Hell yeah.”
Yu Yuan didn’t rush to open the Golden Civilization Chest.
He immediately contacted Quis, Black Flame, Zhou Yuan, and Alpha.
He asked them to check the connection status of the Transmission Channels between their worlds and Green Forest World.
The previous prompts reminded Yu Yuan.
That what he had felt earlier was not an illusion. The position of Green Forest World had indeed changed, having been connected from the Rock Rank Star Tracks to the Bronze Rank Star Tracks.
Yu Yuan had to confirm the impact of the Star Track change on world transmissions.
Soon.
Vehicles from Dead Mine Town, Giant Tree World, and Molten Kobold World successively passed through the Transmission Channels, arriving safely in Green Forest World.
Quis, Zhou Yuan, and Black Flame also personally arrived shortly after.
Because the temperature here was too low, Black Flame wore a set of armor crafted from Molten Ore and Crimson Flame Iron.
Although it couldn’t completely eliminate the threat of the cold for him, it did extend his stay time in Green Forest City by over an hour.
On the fortress square, the high-temperature room that Carmen had specially built for the Molten Kobolds could accommodate them for extended stays.
“Master, the transmission has indeed changed this time. The time was fully tripled, and there was a brief spatial block and a feeling of distortion midway, like passing through an invisible barrier.”
Quis was the first to speak.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan also nodded lightly.
“I felt the same. It was as if the surrounding space had been warped. After breaking free from that state, I felt an unprecedented sense of relief.”
“Right, it was the same on my end,” Black Flame chimed in.
Hearing what the three said, Yu Yuan wasn’t surprised; instead, his eyes lit up.
The change in the Transmission Channels was clearly caused by the Bronze Rank Star Tracks.
But it also proved one thing precisely.
That was, his Transmission Portal could cross the Star Track barrier, enabling cross-Star Track transmissions.
With this characteristic understood, Yu Yuan would have a lot more options in the future.
And from Alpha’s end, a message came back quickly.
There was no change whatsoever in the [World Porch]. Entering the World Porch showed no abnormalities either.
At this point, Yu Yuan’s heart was finally completely at ease.
“Alright, you can head back. Just continue with production as per the original plan.”
Yu Yuan looked at Black Flame.
“Black Flame, your task is very heavy! For the time ahead, the demand for Molten Ore will increase exponentially. You must ensure the ore supply. If you need anything, you can contact either Carmen or me.”
Black Flame nodded to indicate he understood.
The three of them immediately returned to their respective worlds.
But what Yu Yuan didn’t know was.
Not long after he ascended to the Bronze Rank, several pairs of eyes had focused on him.
On the Bronze Rank Leaderboard, the fact that he had crash-landed into the top 10,000 ranks had already stirred attention and caused an uproar among certain factions…
