Chapter 134: A New Source of Points
Now, in the eyes of ordinary people, Shen Hao may be seen as a god, a savior, hope, and the biggest trump card for human civilization against the Civilization Trial.
But in the eyes of cultivators, besides all these, the name Shen Hao had another meaning.
That is the direct Controller of powerful resources!
No one did not want to follow behind Shen Hao.
Those Chosen Ones had already proven the power of resources with their performances.
It could be said that merely by being directly under Shen Hao's jurisdiction, the status of the small identity cards they held in their hands had skyrocketed countless times!
Enough to make every cultivator in the world envious!
"Now, come up and receive your Magic Treasures." The receptionist brought out the Ten Thousand Soul Banners one after another.
These individuals were all at least Level 8 or higher, but even then, facing the eerie Ten Thousand Soul Banner, they could still feel a sense of danger.
Yet no one hesitated.
Even if the moment they grasped it, the chill air kept invading their bodies, no one let go. They all tried their utmost to suppress it!
Indeed, just by sight, one could tell that these Magic Treasures were specifically meant for combating the undead!
However, with their strength, not to mention using them, even approaching could result in injury.
This was definitely a treasure for the Extraordinary Second Stage, and not of common quality!
"Now, call President Shen Hao's name in your hearts," continued the receptionist.
The event of Divine Descent was not widely publicized to avoid the entire world calling out at once and disturbing Shen Hao's judgment.
In this ability, calling out was also about hierarchy.
Although only those he paid attention to could be noticed by him immediately, the prayers and calls of the vast majority of humans could still be perceived as a cluttered and noisy sensation.
It was only with the presence of the Sovereign that one could control it perfectly.
If it were someone else, they might struggle to adapt for a considerable time.
And at this moment, these few people finally began their calling.
The next moment, surging Spiritual Power welled up within their bodies.
They could clearly feel their strength soaring, their perception becoming sharper, and even the Ten Thousand Soul Banners in their hands seemed to be easily controlled!
"This is...the power of the President!"
"How miraculous!"
"Such powerful Spiritual Power!"
"Is the President also related to a Cultivator's profession?"
"..."
All of them showed astonishment, but even more so excitement!
With such power, plus the Magic Treasures in their hands, they would definitely become the nemesis of the undead!
"You will be sent to the most dangerous battlefields. Your mission is to capture the undead one by one into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and if necessary, even enter the Undead World to fight. But pay attention to the sacred link between you and the President. If the power you use is not replenished, it means that the President and you are in different worlds.
At such times, do not engage in prolonged battle..." The receptionist was listing all sorts of precautions.
Emphasising that each of them needed to listen carefully.
Even with the gift of Shen Hao's power, after all, it was not their own power!
Their mission was likewise fraught with great danger.
One should know that President Shen Hao had already discovered the presence of Second Stage undead in the Japan Incident!
If there appeared one, then it would not be just one.
However, these people were not too fearful. Clearly, Shen Hao's power had given them tremendous confidence.
"Like warriors of a god," someone even said so!
But in fact, within the Divine Descent system, there wasn't much of a problem saying this.
Even the Emperor profession could also greatly enhance the use of this aspect.
Shen Hao was prepared to make more attempts, even to develop such a group into representatives of his will and power!
"Begin!"
Following that command, one hundred Cultivators directly rushed to the battlefields across the world.
It must be said, with weapons of restraint, the combat against the undead indeed had an advantage, and merely on that very day, Shen Hao could feel the accelerated growth in points.
He made use of Divine Descent, casting his gaze briefly.
Common Ghost Kings were no match for the Ten Thousand Soul Banner at all.
Although the points obtained at the moment were not much, when the level of these undead increased later, that would be a substantial amount of points!
"One hundred is still too few; the more, the better!" Shen Hao did not neglect his own cultivation.
As the Level 16 resources were consumed continuously, the strength of human civilization was rising rapidly. The power fed back to Shen Hao through the Emperor was also increasing, and the enhancement brought by the Point Mall was even greater than that from the profession mall.
Just after four days had passed, Shen Hao found that his level had unknowingly reached Level 16!
The number of Special Wartime Members has increased to one hundred and fifty!
This had also improved his efficiency in clearing out the undead.
By the sixth day, after nurturing twelve million dead souls with the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, he was only twelve billion points away from Level 17 in the Point Mall!
"Should I deal with some of the nurtured dead souls?" Shen Hao hesitated.
The storm delay plan had been attempted in the past two days, with mini-suns exploding near the "Heat Black Hole," which indeed had some effect.
However, the heat generated by the nuclear weapons couldn't be perfectly aligned with the absorption of the "Heat Black Hole," so their effects couldn't interfere with each other. Moreover, once the use of nuclear weapons stopped, the storm would form with an even more ferocious attitude!
At most, it could only delay for one or two more days before it had to be stopped.
This project was essentially a failure.
Under these circumstances, the pressure on the Underground City project was undoubtedly greater.
Shen Hao was already aware of the actual progress. Ni Hong's expectation of ten days was unlikely to be met, and the final outcome might be around twelve days. However, no one could blame them, as the power unleashed by the entire project during these few days had moved the whole world.
In fact, within the Global Unified Association, the number of supporters for the Underground City project was growing, and public opinion worldwide was similarly positive.
If there was a choice, everyone would want to enter the safer underground cities!
If the Level 17 Mall was to open, it would undoubtedly give them even greater assistance!
However, just as Shen Hao decided to use a part of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner ahead of time, he discovered his point total had suddenly surged by fifteen billion!
"What's happening?" Shen Hao furrowed his brows slightly.
Such an incident had occurred during these days, but the numbers weren't significant. Moreover, with the whole world fighting against the undead, Chosen Ones, Cultivators, and even ordinary people, their used powers had some relation to him in one way or another.
In this situation, it wasn't easy to gauge the increase in points. Shen Hao wasn't constantly monitoring the system either.
But this time, a staggering fifteen billion points just appeared before him out of nowhere!
This was no small sum!
And it couldn't possibly come from others killing the undead.
It meant there was another source of points!
Shen Hao felt a hint of joy in his heart and already had a rough guess.
"Dong Gong," he contacted Dong Gong, "has a significant project been completed?"
"Yes," Dong Gong was a bit surprised that Shen Hao knew, but he quickly reported, "I was about to report, President, the city wind wall project on the Northern Alliance's side has just been completed."
So it was indeed!
Shen Hao remembered what Blood Demon had said before, that their Civilization Trial was global warming, so naturally, points were not earned from killing enemies.
But rather from all actions that could effectively counter the Trial!
Whether it's researching new technologies, producing new products, or completing some significant project.
After all, not all Trials are related to direct combat.
This time, the "Eternal Night Ice River" Trial also had similar aspects.
Shen Hao had guessed before that many of these points obtained were from measures against the cold climate, though since he had been killing the undead, these scattered sources of points were hard to identify. Explore hidden tales at empire
But now, this point was undoubtedly confirmed!
One city wind wall actually earned fifteen billion points?
This was no slower than killing the undead!
Even though Shen Hao knew that the city wind wall project almost had the full support of the Northern Alliance, utilizing new building materials, various devices, including the vast number of personnel involved, he was certain if it proved effective, there wouldn't be just one!
Moreover, although he didn't know the specific rules of calculation, Shen Hao could be sure that constructing underground cities should earn even more!
He immediately conveyed this number to Dong Gong.
"Have the Analysis Department thoroughly analyze the pattern," he commanded, "later, compare it with the Underground City project and see what the point acquisition is linked to—whether it's the scale of the project, the number of people involved, or something else."
"Yes!" Dong Gong was also exhilarated.
The functionality of points was too significant, and ample points were the safeguard for saving the entire civilization!
To say that points were the lifeline of civilization was no exaggeration.
For example, right now, the Level 17 Mall had just opened.
Shen Hao quickly glanced through and indeed noticed higher-grade products in the higher-level mall!
"Multifunctional robot production line!"
He noticed this item immediately.
Its price was exorbitant, requiring a whole 130 million points!
But it allowed for the customization of various robots.
Shen Hao knew how scarce the current human resources were, that industrial construction and development required time, and with this, they could continuously produce various robots to significantly enhance productivity, speeding up industrial development and offering tremendous assistance.
Besides, other various equipment and technologies had also undergone significant upgrades.
Even the Extraordinary Path began to reveal some real branches.
"Talisman Master?" "Holy Mage?" Shen Hao looked at the two branches extending from Cultivation and Magic, undoubtedly filled with even more anticipation.
