Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Full-speed Development, Points Skyrocket!
The paths of different civilizations actually have many similarities.
This was something Shen Hao felt particularly deeply.
After all, with the help of the “Emperor” profession, he could control all the transcendent power possessed by the entire civilization.
Not to mention, both cultivation and magic had the ability to create equipment; it’s just that one was called a magic treasure and the other a magic device.
“Let some experts do more research in this area,” Shen Hao pondered.
This matter couldn’t be rushed.
He quickly shifted his attention to another matter.
——It was time to load hacks again.
Now that there wasn’t any special crisis, among the remaining three hacks, the Chosen One Detection Hack and Map Cheat weren’t very useful, so naturally, Shen Hao chose the Drop Hack.
Currently, the undead’s levels were rising rapidly, and the levels of the ability balls and equipment they dropped were also greatly improved. The Drop Hack could still bring more wealth to the civilization.
Especially the ability balls.
Even though Shen Hao had the Ability Ball Furnace External, he still couldn’t have enough of it.

The number of Chosen Ones in the entire civilization had increased by a large margin!
The human species’ own Chosen Ones continued to grow at a pace of two thousand per month, now reaching eighteen thousand, while the Siti people had four thousand, the Senya people ten thousand, the Mongolian people six thousand, and the Wing Sky people four thousand. In total, the entire human civilization now had a striking forty-two thousand people!
With proper cultivation, this could be an astounding force.
The Chosen Ones, possessing strong talents and capabilities, were far superior to ordinary transcendent beings, and each one could play a significant role in various domains.
They were also an extension of Shen Hao’s power and will, the foundation of the entire civilization’s defense against the Civilization Trial!
“Take advantage of the current period of safety to develop with all our might,” Shen Hao’s gaze swept across the entire civilization.
In the following days, as each species gradually found their position within the civilization and integrated, significant changes appeared everywhere in the civilization.
This was especially evident on the internet.
For instance, the video at the top of the trending list right now showcased the Senya people constructing an Underground City.
It was personally released by the head of Underground City construction, Ni Hong.
Just watching those plants being rapidly constructed and expanded under the control of the Senya people, and the digging in the video, excited the viewers.
“Six thousand seven hundred Underground Cities starting construction simultaneously!”
“The Senya people are incredible.”
“We should have had them earlier for easy city construction.”
“The main advantage is the low cost, flexibility, and simplicity.”
“Guys, have you tried the new types of fruit cultivated by the Senya people? Pretty amazing; we just got our shipment today, full of life force.”
“That’s really something. My cultivation speed increased after eating it!”
“Envious; when can it be delivered here?”
“…”
Clearly, the influence brought by the Senya people had allowed all humans to enjoy benefits and the construction of Underground Cities alone had provided immense relief to many.
Before the arrival of the Senya people, even though Shen Hao kept exchanging for advancements in technology and the efficiency of city construction had increased, the timeline for building cities was still very tight.
Billions of people could only reside temporarily in cities protected by Magic Barrier and Wind-blocking City Wall, enduring the bitter cold while working.
Now, people all over the world were beginning to move into the Underground Cities, one after another!
Not to mention, a portion of the Senya people had also begun working in the field of Extraordinary Planting. The transcendent plants in various Pocket World Blessed Lands and secret realms were regrowing under their power, and the first batch of fruits had even been distributed to different regions.
The people had a high regard for these Senya people, who loved nature, were robust, did not talk much, but worked diligently.
The changes weren’t just brought by the Senya people.
The second-ranking video was one where a Wing Sky sage named Geta held up a small belt, intricately patterned and pulsing with magic power, and declared with a clear and excited voice:
“This is defensive equipment designed and produced by our Wing Sky alchemists! The lowest quality is White Level 6, but it can reach as high as Purple Level 11! They can be mass-produced, protecting you from the threat of the undead! They also have a warming effect. Just a single No.5 Magic Crystal can keep you active for over thirty hours in temperatures as low as negative 120 degrees!”
Yes, this was unmistakably an advertisement video.
An advertisement featuring Geta himself!
This product line was actually designed by Geta back on the Wing Sky Human Mother Planet.
They had established a complete production chain, with each step having a fixed Alchemy Array.
While Sky Spirit Civilization magicians could also make some magic equipment, they couldn’t compare in difficulty or efficiency to the Wing Sky people, who were focused on the Alchemy Path.
With the setup of industrial production, today’s Wing Sky people only needed twenty million individuals to produce these alchemy products, achieving a staggering daily output of six hundred million!
On average, each Wing Sky person could produce thirty per day!
Below this video, there was also a plethora of astonished reactions.
“Holy smokes, am I seeing this right? Actual extraordinary equipment that can be bought with money?”
“Shocked, for real? No need for contribution points?”
“Isn’t it written clearly? From White Level 6 to White Level 10, none of them require contribution points to buy, and there’s plenty of stock!”
“Already placed an order, waiting to get the goods.”
“Custom magic crystals? And they can be recharged? This thing is kind of badass.”
“Looking forward to the Wing Sky people designing and producing more products to drive down the price of extraordinary equipment!”
“Exactly, drive it down!”
“Awesome! Alchemy! Can we learn it too?!”
“…”
No wonder people were so excited.
Before this, human civilization did not have the capability to mass-produce extraordinary equipment, let alone White Level 6; even the most basic, lower-level talismans could only be produced by a large number of cultivators who charged them with energy and drew them.
Some extraordinary weapons, like spiritual power bullets, also weren’t truly extraordinary equipment.
Moreover, they couldn’t keep up with the growth rate of the undead.
In the end, all regions could still only use points acquired through purchases and loot to meet equipment demands, prioritizing patrol personnel and powerful civilian cultivators. Anyone else desiring equipment would need contribution points.
But now, things were different.
Though the average extraordinary level of the Wing Sky people wasn’t high, they did indeed have the ability to mass-produce extraordinary equipment!
Even just the simplest White Level 6 equipment could sell for two to three thousand points in the store.
If every person had one, that would be over eight billion—a massive number that even exceeded the total points Shen Hao had accumulated so far!
It could only be said that the greatest benefit of points and the Point Mall was in the accelerated development of technological fields, rather than in making bulk purchases.
Putting points into various technologies, as well as equipment and devices that human civilization temporarily couldn’t produce at high levels, was the right way to use them.
However, this also required the human civilization to continually elevate its own civilization level.
To satisfy the demands of civilization in low-level domains.
The addition of the Wing Sky people certainly sped up a great deal in the field of extraordinary industry.
The current production efficiency was just the beginning.
With further refinement of production processes and related technology fields, and as these Wing Sky people further strengthened their extraordinary levels, one could imagine that the productive power in the future would only continue to increase.
Even after confirming the importance of the alchemy path, Shen Hao had ordered the cultivation of some alchemists from their own human civilization.
And it wasn’t just alchemists; the Senya plant priests, and Mongolian martial arts, were also open to choice.
Magic and cultivation weren’t suitable for everyone, even if the development of these paths was limited by the Store Level, but if one had a unique talent, it wasn’t impossible to reach a higher level.
In the future, it wasn’t out of the question that they would encounter civilizations far superior on these paths.
“Extraordinary paths also need diversification,” Shen Hao conveyed such an attitude to the Global United Front.
In fact, during this period, civilization rapidly developed and grew in various fields, to the point where even ordinary people could clearly feel the progress; Shen Hao was the one who benefited the most.
His strength had been increasing visibly slower since he broke through to the Extraordinary Third Stage, that is, Level 21.
In this stage, even the most ordinary transcendents possessed the power to easily destroy a city and could be considered “human-shaped nuclear weapons.” Obviously, even considering the Civilization Trial system, they had passed the “newbie phase,” so it was perfectly normal for the rate of strength increase to slow down.
However, the power of the “Emperor” profession was evident here.
As long as the civilization continued to grow stronger, Shen Hao’s cultivation speed would become faster and faster.
This rapid growth seemed like it could continue even further.
“However, compared to my own leveling speed, the Points Mall’s upgrade rate is the real quick one!” Shen Hao looked at his Chosen One panel.
The Chosen One Mall’s level had always exceeded Shen Hao’s.
After all, for personal growth, at best he had the convenience of a Mythical Talent and profession, but with a higher foundation, leveling also became more difficult.
But the Points Mall Level was truly like having a cheat code!
With a tripled rate of acquiring points, much more than what a normal civilization could get.
With the construction of the Underground City, in just a few days, the number of points obtained saw a further spike.
Although the relationship between the increase in Underground Cities and the points acquired couldn’t be simplistically calculated.
As the number of Underground Cities increased, the points received were obviously lower than at the beginning.
Shen Hao surmised that since the initial Underground Cities would serve as the foundation for the survival of civilization, the points acquired would be higher; as more cities were built, their importance in resisting trials diminished, and so the points received would decrease accordingly.
Even so, once these six thousand Underground Cities were completed, he would still be able to obtain at least one quadrillion points!
Add to that the fact that civilization had strengthened its support for the Sky Spirit Civilization and was also helping to clear the undead on the Mongolian Planet, there were plenty of points to be gained in this aspect as well.
When the second settlement period was about to arrive, Shen Hao’s Point Mall Level officially reached twenty-fourth level!
