Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

"Either distribute the ability balls among the other Chosen Ones, enhancing their strength, or gamble with this function and accumulate powerful abilities for a few Chosen Ones... The choice between these two paths is becoming increasingly clear," Shen Hao seemed to have grasped the purpose of this new feature.

The choice between two paths, or two focus points, was becoming clearer and clearer.

However, this was for the average Chosen One.

Shen Hao's own choice had been determined long ago.

He wanted it all!

The countdown on the external panel also had only one day left. Now that this new feature was available, the choice for the next external doesn't seem to require any hesitation.

Go for the double drop directly.

Moreover, who knows if there will be an "Ability Ball Furnace External" in the future? Probability doesn't mean much in the face of such an external.

Shen Hao had great expectations for it.

However, why did the Level 9 Mall undergo a change?

Shen Hao glanced at the points needed for the next level mall.

He felt a slight sense of heaviness in his heart.

It wasn't the one hundred million he had speculated, but rather two hundred million!

It's known that the growth multiplier for the total number of points required for the Point Mall's upgrade has been decreasing.

From the initial ten times to the two and a half times needed from Level 8 to Level 9, according to this pattern, the next level, the White Level 10 Mall, should only require doubling!

Unless—

"Level 10 is somewhat special," Shen Hao narrowed his eyes.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This was the first possibility that came to his mind.

Based on the information provided by the external, the Civilization Trial is ultimately just a program, and many of its settings must have underlying basic logic behind them.

Shen Hao didn't intend to guess anymore and left it to the Analysis Department's Intelligent Group to puzzle over.

He looked towards the Level 9 Mall.

Although it was only White Ninth Level, the merchandise's tier was noticeably higher compared to the White Level 8.

The so-called White perhaps stands for the basic and regular tier, while the level represents the specific technological and Extraordinary Level.

Not to mention anything else, inside the White Level 9 Mall, there was even a small high-speed fighter jet!

Valued at eight million a piece, it could reach a top speed of eighteen Mach within the atmosphere!

Bear in mind, the fastest speed of current Human Civilization's fighter jets is only around three Mach.

This one jet alone reached six times that!

The level of aviation technology it represented had far surpassed Human Civilization.

"This way, I can get to places much faster," Shen Hao was quite anticipative.

Moreover, according to the introduction, simple flight didn't require a pilot at all. It came equipped with unmanned AI that could even carry out complex battle support.

The only trouble was that the required fuel was somewhat special—a type of crystallized solid fuel, which could also only be purchased from the system mall.

But anyhow, Shen Hao would be able to greatly reduce the time spent traveling.

He directly purchased the jet.

It didn't look very big overall, just about twice the size of a sedan, with nothing but a seat in the front and the entire propulsion engine in the back half.

Shen Hao sat down for a quick test and felt it was pretty good.

"The jet above can head back now," he immediately contacted Dong Gong while observing other items in the mall, "And there's also a fully automatic multi-functional production line. Those microwave weapon technologies were said to be impossible to produce core components for, right? Let's try using this. As for weapons and such, there's no need to say more, everyone exchange some and see the effects.

There are quite a few battlefield robots but they're a bit expensive, and there are many good items that seem useful among the Extraordinary class, like a kind of Extraordinary Creature named 'Talisman Spirit' that can draw simple talismans. Sensing Talismans can be produced on their own..."

It must be said that each upgrade of the mall deeply benefited the entire civilization.

Merely the technological items—if any of them were to be introduced before the Civilization Trial, they would have caused a sensation across the world.

They covered all domains, including civil life, industry, and military.

These items could bring about a leap in technological development.

However, in the face of the Civilization Trial, time was the greatest enemy.

They had to strengthen themselves in the shortest possible time, which meant they couldn't possibly develop comprehensively. They had to focus their efforts and spend most of their energy on fields useful for warfare.

Like the latest high-end lathe that just appeared, it could have been used in almost all industrial fields in the past.

But now, the warfare field is their biggest destination.

"Some of these items are truly great helps," Dong Gong said, sighing in relief after recording all the items Shen Hao listed, "The previous technologies taken out from the Level 8 Mall are indeed challenging to apply quickly, as we lack some technological accumulation. The Blood Demons are also doing everything to hinder our focus in the industrial field.

An hour and a half ago, a ship loaded with advanced equipment was still sunk by a missile."

"Sunk?" It was the first time Shen Hao had heard this news.

"Yes, they used medium-range cruise missiles," Dong Gong said gravely, "This signals an extremely dangerous development. While we quickly sweep away the Blood Demons, they are also accelerating their infiltration and control over the military powers.

Now the West State has to concentrate most of its detection and defense capabilities on the protection of key areas, which in turn increases the difficulty of urban defense battles."

"..." Shen Hao didn't know what to say.

A considerable amount of Xijita metal detection equipment had already been sent over, but the total quantity was still too small.

Being able to precisely hit ships carrying cutting-edge equipment at least indicated a leak in intelligence, and with even the cruise missiles falling under the control of Blood Demons, the danger and brutality on the front lines would undoubtedly escalate dramatically.

Every time Shen Hao appeared, he would definitely be greeted enthusiastically.

"If we can rapidly assimilate the technology from the Point Mall and begin mass production to complete the technological overhaul in the military domain, then the advantage would still be on our side," Dong Gong spoke again, "The country has already declared the start of industrial integration, with a multitude of factories transforming and workers shifting into the military field.

Not to mention, the assembly of the Frozen Gun and its bullets is already progressing rapidly. The first-generation civilian high-frequency ultrasonic self-defense weapons were a success, and we've developed an even more effective second-generation product, with the first batch sent to the West State today."

This was precisely the biggest advantage of ensuring the security of an industrialized nation.

Otherwise, having the technology would be worthless without the capacity for rapid production.

However, Shen Hao also understood that such industrial transformation, no matter how efficient or fast, couldn't be completed in just a day or two.

But in this regard, it all depended on the efforts of the people.

"Let's also hurry up," Shen Hao said, "Send me the coordinates of the next location."

"Yes, however, the Blood Demon Mother in this country has already given up on resistance and is starting to flee the city with the Blood Demon Subordinates, scattering outside the city," Dong Gong provided the coordinates, "This is an area where the Blood Demons are rather concentrated, and they're heading to a military district that's also likely to have been infiltrated and controlled by the Blood Demons."

"We'll make it in time," Shen Hao glanced at the time.

If this had been earlier, by the time he arrived, this batch of Blood Demons would probably have already joined forces with those in the military district.

By then, the difficulty of resolving the situation would have multiplied.

But now, he was definitely going to make it.

Without hesitation, he commanded the fighter jet's AI.

"Full speed ahead!"

With a roar, the jet's massive engines at the rear spewed scorching flames, and Shen Hao felt a tremendous acceleration pressure for a moment. If his physical constitution hadn't already reached a value of 31 points, nearly fifty times stronger than a regular person's ten points, his organs might have ruptured from the force.

But, this speed was indeed exhilarating!

In a matter of minutes, he accelerated to ten times the speed of sound, covering three thousand meters in a second!

In less than ten minutes, he had arrived at the target area hundreds of kilometers away.

The group of Blood Demons never expected Shen Hao to reach them so quickly; they even gathered nonchalantly, consuming every village in their path.

When Shen Hao descended from the sky, one of the Blood Demon Mothers was caught alive on the spot! Another could only despair before committing suicide.

Another thirty thousand Blood Demons, twelve million points!

Although two hundred million points were still far off, every point at this time could be rapidly transformed into power on the battlefield!

Without a doubt, the large number of Blood Demons in this country were being beaten back step by step!

The official channel of the Global United Front announced just that.

"On the fifth day since the start of the Chosen One's official support, we have resolved over five hundred thousand Blood Demons in this country, capturing and killing eleven Blood Demon Mothers, with the remaining Blood Demons fleeing the cities.

They can only hide in the wilderness, subsisting on wild grass and hunting because as soon as they show themselves, they will be met with utter annihilation..."

Along with many battle reports disclosed by officials, the entire world was shaken once again.

No voice or debate could match the facts laid out before everyone's eyes.

This country could be parasitized by just over a dozen Blood Demon Mothers affecting over a million citizens, and the decline was evident to the naked eye. Yet, in such a short period since the Eastern Country's support began, they were rapidly being driven back!

The achievements of Shen Hao, in particular, were so staggering as to defy belief.

Out of the five hundred thousand Blood Demons, he had dealt with over two hundred thousand by himself. As soon as they saw him, countless Blood Demons were mercilessly killed by their own Mothers!

His appearance on the scene inevitably brought death to the Blood Demons!

With this, the world's cries for Shen Hao become more fervent and frantic than ever.

People had never longed for the sight of one person as much as they did now!

Especially in the West State, where individual heroism is widely celebrated, people even bestowed upon Shen Hao a title that seemed to belong only to a fantasy world.

— God of Mankind!

"The world needs Shen Hao, and we need him even more!"

"Superman may be fictitious, but Shen Hao is real!"

"I'm starting to believe God is an Asian man."

"A living Savior!"

"Can it be our turn next? We need victory too!"

"..."

Your next journey awaits at empire

Countless people were anxiously yearning for his arrival!
