Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Plugin Refresh!
At the end of the day, Shen Hao did not control the entire Chosen One Association merely through his prestige and formidable power.
He also relied on the vast and powerful resources of the Chosen Ones that he controlled.
Equipment, ability balls, cultivation resources…
These resources were needed by every Chosen One. Without them, no matter how hard one tried, they would still be far outpaced by the other Chosen Ones.
Power and interest combined are the greatest authority.
However, after pondering for a moment, Shen Hao suddenly said, “I’ll go personally.”
“Yes.” Dong Gong was somewhat surprised, but he did not ask anything.
After all, the Blood Demon war was indeed nearing its conclusion at this time.
Under Shen Hao’s frenzied slaughtering over the past few days, the number of Blood Demons in the Northern Alliance had been reduced to an extremely low level. The remaining ones were fleeing in all directions, with the main forces pursuing and encircling them. At this point, Shen Hao staying on the battlefield would not be very efficient anymore.
It could be said that the Blood Demon crisis would next enter a rather lengthy mopping-up process.
A large number of Chosen Ones, Parasite Failures, and even some Soldiers or civilian Hunters who had embarked on the Extraordinary Path would continue to pursue relentlessly.
Some people might still fall victim, but they had lost the capability to threaten the entire civilization.

In such a situation, Shen Hao finally got some time to rest, and, coupled with curiosity, he indeed wanted to have a good look at the Pocket World Blessed Land.
The private space shuttle arrived quietly at the location of the Pocket World Blessed Land. The place was still very desolate. The subsequent stationed troops wouldn’t reach here in such a short time. Only a small team that had discovered this Pocket World Blessed Land was waiting here.
When they saw Shen Hao, they were so excited that they could hardly speak.
“Well done,” Shen Hao was not stingy with his praise, looking at the two Chosen Ones in the team, “I’ll have someone calculate the contribution points for you. Decide for yourselves what you want to exchange.”
“Of course!” The two nodded repeatedly.
The contribution points system had just started, and they didn’t know how generous the rewards would be, but they didn’t do this thing solely for the rewards.
At the moment when the Civilization Trial intelligence became public, a significant number of capable individuals wanted to contribute to the civilization.
After all, in the face of the Civilization Trial, no one could stay out of the matter or watch from the sidelines. This sense of crisis could also unify people.
However, they should feel pleasantly surprised when they see the number of contribution points and the items they could exchange.
In the last stage of the Blood Demon Trial, Shen Hao had racked up over eight billion points and did not plan to waste the rare peace time. Naturally, he wanted to strengthen the civilization as much as possible. Hoarding the points, on the other hand, would be less meaningful.
He looked at the Pocket World Blessed Land in front of him.
It was indeed quite hidden.
It looked like an area with no differences at all, but at a specific time, a white fog would rise. Passing through the fog, one could reach another space.
These three people had found this place by luck.
If other Pocket Worlds or Secret Realms are so concealed, it would indeed be difficult to find, though there are advantages too.
However, Shen Hao naturally didn’t need to wait for the timing.
He walked over, his Dominator pressure scattered slightly, and without needing the white fog, the space naturally opened up.
Once he entered, he was immediately enveloped by the Spiritual Energy, which was different from the continuously emerging and increasing Extraordinary Elements in the outside world. This was pure Spiritual Energy, which could not be converted into Magic Power.
“The space is quite large,” Shen Hao rose into the air, “The environment is very beautiful. The level of Spiritual Energy should be around Level 11, reaching the Second Rank. There are also some indigenous Extraordinary Creatures. Hmm, there are carnivorous creatures too, posing a certain degree of danger.”
He saw a gigantic white tiger, its strength was probably around Level 8 to 9.
Indeed dangerous for an ordinary Chosen One.
He soon saw a cluster of buildings.
They were all white palaces and giant squares paved with white bricks scattered among the mountains. In some places, special Spiritual Energy floated, looking like the “Formations” in fantasies.
But there were no people.
Even without going deep to understand, Shen Hao knew there were no human presences inside these buildings.
He flew over, and the slight defensive Formations could not stop him. After passing through several places, he discovered something a bit surprising.
There were traces of human life everywhere.
Yes, humans.
Some room cabinets were filled with clothes, all worn before, with no significant differences from human sizes. In some places, various exquisite accessories were found. Some places even had delicacies placed on tables. When Shen Hao saw a large field of plants infused with abundant Spiritual Energy and the slowly dissipating rain filled with Spiritual Energy, he could indeed confirm it.
“Everyone has disappeared, but not suddenly. It looks like they evacuated urgently, but not in such a panic that they even left the fires unextinguished,” Shen Hao felt somewhat moved by the methods of the Civilization Trial. “Were the people all taken away, or was it a copy of a Pocket World Blessed Land without people?”
“`
Whether it was the former or the latter, both represented extremely powerful forces.
Especially the latter.
However, the Civilization Trial itself was so mysterious and powerful that it was hardly surprising that such things could happen.
Just the unbelievable sun outside was exaggeration enough.
“This place is indeed a treasure trove,” Shen Hao said, playing with a jade pendant in his hand that could be considered a magic treasure, “Only the people are missing; everything else is ready-made—the alchemy room, the artifact refining room, the spirit medicine fields, and even many books that could be related to cultivation. Although I can’t understand the language just yet, it’s indeed possible for our civilization to smoothly take over everything here and start utilizing these resources… but it’s not without its challenges.”
Not to mention, some of the spirit medicine fields looked almost mature, but many more were clearly not yet ready for harvesting.
This also meant that if they couldn’t figure out how certain things operated in the shortest amount of time, they could potentially incur some losses.
It’s like a cultivator suddenly owning an uninhabited modern city and wanting to quickly put it to use—it really isn’t an easy task.
But difficult or not, they had to make an effort.
Such a place was clearly conducive to humans quickly understanding and enhancing the other two paths of civilization!
Shen Hao left the Pocket World Blessed Land and immediately contacted Dong Gong: “Dispatch the language experts and related Talented Chosen Ones, as well as the personnel from the Cultivation Research Institute here—and quickly! The slower we are, the greater the loss!”
“Yes!” Dong Gong realized the importance of efficiency upon learning the situation inside the Pocket World Blessed Land.
Not just here, but in other places too, they had to find them quickly, or they might very well become wastelands in no time.
That would be a significant loss!
The entire Chosen One Association began to mobilize, and many Chosen Ones who had just joined the association encountered tasks beyond hunting Blood Demons, especially those with related Talents, such as a Chosen One with a Talent called “Taoist Body,” who should have a unique advantage in finding Pocket World Blessed Lands.
Moreover, as soon as one was found, at least they would have a rough idea of the situation, and the efficiency of the search would only increase.
Shen Hao was not idle either.
His efficiency in this regard far exceeded that of other Chosen Ones; he could naturally perceive different places as long as he was within a certain range.
This was also a use of the Dominator Talent at this level, I suppose.
However, there was another very important matter in the process of searching.
— The External was finally going to refresh.
To be honest, at the end of the Civilization Trial announcement, Shen Hao had some minor concerns. After all, the end of the first Civilization Trial would certainly have an impact on some areas, such as not being able to earn points. Whether this signified a version update that could affect External, it was hard to say.
Fortunately, there were no issues whatsoever on the External interface.
The progress bar’s growth rate was also unaffected.
Finally, when Shen Hao found the second Pocket World Blessed Land, the External’s progress bar came to an end.
The rudimentary interface appeared once again.
[Confirmed current Civilization Trial version as 1.1501, detected that it is a trial interlude period, some Externals will be suspended, there is no inspection mechanism during this period, Externals have no usage restrictions, there are currently the following three Externals available.]
[VIP External Version 2: This External grants permanent VIP2 status and corresponding permissions in the Point Mall (manufactured by Kejin Civilization)]
[Ability Ball Furnace External: This External can lock in a chance greater than 5% in the Ability Ball Furnace process, making it 100% certain to occur (manufactured by Boqi Civilization)]
[Profession Match External: This External allows a Chosen One to obtain a 100% match with the highest fitting Mythical exclusive profession, but it can be used only once (manufactured by Wuji Civilization)]
“Only three Externals?” Shen Hao pondered.
Besides these three Externals, a new feature had also appeared on the interface.
[Selected Externals]
Upon opening, it listed all the Externals he had chosen so far.
However, most of them were greyed out.
Including the initial External for obtaining the Chosen One status, as well as the Mythical Talent External, and even the subsequent Map Cheat, Drop Hack, and Points Hack, and so on.
The only one still displayed as active was the VIP1 Mall External.
Obviously, this also had to do with the current “trial interlude period.”
“On the bright side, at least the interlude period doesn’t have an inspection mechanism, so there’s no need to wait and use them one by one,” Shen Hao looked back at the three newly refreshed Externals.
This meant he could now load all three Externals at once!
Not to mention, these three Externals alone would allow him to eliminate five options from the personal rewards.
What’s left would be a choice of five out of seven.
