Chapter 250: Chapter 244: Refreshing the Cheat Panel!
Furthermore, when the intelligence requested by the leader of the “Black Silver,” Gong, was delivered, Shen Hao also furrowed his brows.
“An incident that hasn’t occurred in two hundred years just happened like that?”
This was hard to believe as mere coincidence.
Considering the situation of the trial, it was evident that some changes were taking place in the universe, changes that even the natives had never understood, and one of these changes was manifested in the dimensional creatures!
It was more likely the main reason for the crisis!
“Dispatch three more special combat squads to guard the area,” Shen Hao quickly ordered.
Each special combat squad had at least a thousand people, including five directly under Shen Hao, whose immense strength was evident.
This defensive force, of course, was not to guard against those in the Black Silver team.
But to guard against the possible reappearance of dimensional creatures.
The reason for the appearance of these dimensional creatures was unclear, and without knowing the reason, it was natural to be wary of their possible reemergence.
Furthermore, the performance of these dimensional creatures in combat was unexpectedly strong.
Their methods of attack appeared somewhat monotonous, yet their life force was extremely powerful.

Moreover, the weakest of them possessed a life level of the Extraordinary Second Stage, with those reaching the Third Stage being quite numerous!
“Move the research on those spoils of war outside the planet,” Shen Hao thought for a moment and then ordered again, “And also temporarily relocate the domestic research on spiritual energy, and assign heavy guards to protect it.”
He suspected that the appearance of the dimensional creatures might be related to spiritual energy.
Whether it was or not, it was always good to be cautious.
To many people, including Shen Hao, the dimensional creatures on the frontline were not the most terrifying aspect. However, their ability to appear suddenly was exactly like the undead from the previous trial.
They had to guard against it at all costs!
At the very least, they could not allow the dimensional creatures to easily threaten the rear.
After making the necessary preparations, Shen Hao temporarily set aside these concerns as he now had another more pressing matter.
—The external tool was about to refresh.
Only a few days remained.
The reason he had not rushed to take action against the Yodora Kingdom, aside from needing to gather more intelligence, was primarily to wait for the refresh of the external tool.
The content of the external tool would impact the specific actions to take.
Especially a possible Basic Information Library External Tool.
Shen Hao was growing increasingly curious about the trial situation in this universe.
“I hope there will be a Basic Information Library,” he said expectantly, quietly waiting.
In the following days, Shen Hao’s orders were implemented, all research related to spiritual energy was moved off the planet to spaceships in outer space, and all spoils of war were also strictly guarded, with a focus placed on warning technology against dimensional creatures.
The “Black Silver” spaceship was able to issue warnings in advance, clearly, this technology was present on these ships, and native civilizations should also possess more potent technologies.
This was good news, easier than conducting the research by oneself.
There was a lot of technology worth dismantling on these spaceships.
Meanwhile, Shen Hao finally reached the end of the countdown for the external tool.

“There are actually thirteen hacks!” Shen Hao looked at the series of hack content, somewhat astonished inside.
The number of hacks this time indeed exceeded expectations.
Last Trial Period’s hacks were only seven, but this time it had nearly doubled.
Among them were new versions of previous hacks, as well as new hacks appearing.
The thirteen hacks arranged together made the originally rudimentary hack content seem somewhat more imposing.
Seeing these hacks becoming more and more numerous and stronger, could it be that as the Civilization Trial evolves on its own, the emerging loopholes are actually increasing?
However, this does indeed fit the general situation of a program.
In the absence of sufficiently skilled maintenance personnel, it is logical for more and more flaws to appear.
After all, the Civilization Trial itself did not give birth to intelligence.
Not detecting some very obvious hacks, some rules are clearly deviating from the design concept, feeling entirely like “artificial retardation.”
But no matter what, the more numerous and stronger the hacks, the better it naturally is for Shen Hao.
Even though Human Civilization’s foundation is now very strong, facing increasingly severe Trial content, it still can’t do without the help of hacks.
Especially the points hack.
Seeing the newly appeared stronger points hack, Shen Hao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The importance of the points hack goes without saying; if it were absent in any Trial suddenly, it would be a significant blow to Human Civilization.
After all, Shen Hao had gradually realized that Human Civilization’s “Hidden Points” in the matching trial mechanism are probably getting higher and higher.
The matched Trial difficulty has exceeded the strength that Human Civilization should face.
In some ways, this is also considered a downside of using hacks.
After all, using hacks inevitably enhances development potential, and development potential also increases “Hidden Points”.
“But, a one hundred and twelve-day cooldown period?” Shen Hao looked again at this hack’s loading cooler and couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
It’s a bit exaggerated.
That meant, aside from the two hacks marked with an “*” that could ignore the cooldown period, it would take at least three years to load all the remaining eleven hacks.
“Is it because this Trial is of the ‘slow-paced’ type?” Shen Hao pondered, but eventually shook his head, “Too little information to make a guess.”
Indeed, there’s too little information about the “cooldown period”.
Moreover, this is a stipulation of the hacks, and Shen Hao cannot change it.
But no matter what, with such a lengthy cooldown period, he must choose wisely.
Shen Hao carefully looked at each of these hacks.
Even those that had appeared before now had content updates, and moreover, some updates made previously insignificant hacks become very useful.
For example, [Chosen One Detection Hack Second Edition].
This hack in its first version merely allowed for face-to-face detection of other Chosen Ones, which was very limited in its usefulness to Shen Hao.
After all, he had yet to encounter a Chosen One stronger than himself; if they were face-to-face already, why not directly inquire?
Even if he couldn’t inquire, fighting a battle should clear up most uncertainties.
As a result, during the last Trial, he placed this hack last and almost never used it.
The only time was to check Xi Qing’s talent and confirm that she indeed possessed a Golden Legendary talent.
But now this second edition was completely different.
It could even detect the status of other Chosen Ones on the Chosen One ranking list!
You should know, the Chosen Ones ranking list gathers the strongest Chosen Ones from all civilizations participating in a single Trial. There are a hundred of them!
At the moment, the Trial hasn’t officially started, and the ranking may not be important, but once it stabilizes later, this hack would enable him to directly know the situation of the strongest Chosen Ones from other civilizations.
He could even know the Store Level of the Chosen One Mall.
That’s not simple at all!
Especially since he currently has no idea where the other civilizations are located, this is undoubtedly very important intelligence.
A hack that was once not very useful has suddenly become useful.
