Chapter 277: The Powerful [All Nations Covenant Civilization], Yu Yuan's Determination
"Requires 5 Civilization Points to activate a focus?"
Yu Yuan looked at the unlocking condition for [Expansionism] and, without hesitation, directly spent 5 Civilization Points to activate it.
He had always felt it was a pity, having killed so many players, about the supplies left behind in their worlds.
But there was nothing he could do about it back then. The only way to enter another player's exclusive world was to launch an invasion war.
However, with the death of those players, the coordinates of their respective worlds were also lost.
Even if Yu Yuan wanted to launch a war, he had no target.
But now it was different.
He could directly use [Expansionism] to record the coordinates of a player's world after killing them, and then, by spending Survival Points, he could open a world channel to enter the other party's world and plunder resources.
How could Yu Yuan not be excited about this?
As the [Expansionism] focus was activated, the second layer of focus icons immediately appeared. This time, there were four icons.——【War Mobilization Order】: When launching an invasion war or civilization war against other players, Survival Point consumption is reduced by 20%; Morale +20%, and morale will not fall below 50%.
——【Military Plunder】: When defeating other players or launching a war against a player's world, all loot and resource gains are increased by 20%.
——【Militarized Rule】: Directly implement military control over conquered regions/worlds, using force to maintain order and suppress resistance. This can guarantee the basic loyalty of personnel/factions in the conquered region for a short period and ensure the most basic stability of order.
——【Military War Status】: When launching an invasion war/civilization war against other players, you can skip the 1-hour war preparation period and directly enter the war invasion/civilization war status.
Holy cow!
Is this the value contained in the upgraded Civilization Core?
It's way too overpowered!
Moreover, [Expansionism] truly lives up to being a proactive, invasive civilization focus.
All four secondary civilization focuses are extremely aggressive.
You must understand, for a player to invade another player, besides needing to consume a [War Token] to launch the war, all the equipment, items, and followers they bring with them also require corresponding Survival Points.
The higher the quality and the stronger the function, the more Survival Points are needed.
This is also the reason some players get poorer the more they fight.
Many veteran players, when invading novice players, often try to bring only the necessary supplies to maximize their gains.
But because of this, there are plenty of examples of veteran players stumbling at the last hurdle.
If you think about it carefully, this mechanism also serves as a form of protection for those players ranked lower.
The [War Mobilization Order] solves this problem very well.
But what Yu Yuan values even more is the later effect concerning morale. There is also a dedicated explanation for [Morale] following the focus description.
When morale is above 80%, the [Morale Soaring] effect is triggered, increasing attack speed, reaction ability, and mental endurance by 15%.
When morale falls below 50%, effects such as deserters, routs, and surrender will randomly occur.
This shows the importance of morale.
The effect of this [War Mobilization Order] basically equates to giving Yu Yuan's troops a health lock. Just this effect alone makes the Gold-grade [Celestial Phenomenon—Aid of the Mysterious Gemini] worth its price.
This is definitely an overpowered effect that only appears with the Civilization Core.
The effects of the latter three focuses are also basically related to conquest and plunder.
However, Yu Yuan did not continue to unlock the [War] focuses this time.
Instead, he turned his gaze to the [Institutions] focus next to it.
Like the [War] focus, after opening it, the first layer of [Institutions] also had three different choices.
——【Legal Code】
Function: Members of the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization revere rationality, order, and justice. Recognition of the civilization/leader +20, law enforcement efficiency +20%.
——【Religion】
Function: Members of the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization revere faith, obedience, and salvation. They regard the civilization leader as a deity. Loyalty will not fall below 50. They reject any foreign races. Attack power +10%.
——【Contract】
Function: Members of the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization revere freedom, negotiation, and benefit. They will use democratic methods to construct a new civilization. Civilization development speed +30%.
(Only one item can be selected from this layer of focuses.)
——————————
"Legal Code, Religion, Contract..."
If we're talking about what's most beneficial for Yu Yuan, it would undoubtedly be [Religion]. But perhaps because of the previous [cult] and [Orthodox Church], he had an instinctive aversion to religion.
Moreover, the choice of rejecting foreign races isn't that great either. Since this civilization is named the Ten Thousand Nations Pact, contact with other civilizations is an inevitable result later on. At that time, this effect would be a hidden danger.
As for the remaining [Legal Code] and [Contract], Yu Yuan thought for a moment and directly excluded [Contract].
If it all goes according to democratic methods, then it basically has nothing to do with him. So what would he need this civilization for?
The civilization he needs can only have one voice, and that is his will.
Unlocking this layer of focus also required consuming 5 Civilization Points.
Yu Yuan directly clicked on [Legal Code]. Soon, the second-layer focus icons for [Legal Code] appeared.
——【Cultural Integration Decree】 Function: After killing another civilization leader, you can choose to absorb that other civilization into the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization system. Civilization integration degree +20%.
——【Civilization Propaganda Decree】 Function: Civilization members' recognition of the civilization/leader +20. Resistance between different civilizations -20.
——【Transportation.....】
.......
The secondary civilization focus effects of [Legal Code] did not disappoint Yu Yuan either.
He then took a look at the [Technology] focus. This one didn't present a three-choose-one situation; all could be selected.
Things like [Livelihood], [Industry], [Research] tech trees...
These were of little immediate use to Yu Yuan for now.
Yu Yuan only spent five Civilization Points to light up [Research].
The reason was solely because [Research]'s functional effect was to increase scientific research efficiency by +20%.
It would be exactly effective for the Doctor's current vaccine research.
At this point, after consuming 15 points, Yu Yuan's Civilization Points were only left with 111.
"Are there other ways to obtain Civilization Points? Otherwise, this amount is simply not enough! Next time, I'll launch an invasion war and see..."
Yu Yuan thought to himself. He didn't randomly add more Civilization Points either. It would be better to wait until there was a need before activating them.
As for the final item, [Research & Production], it was all about logistics management.
For him now, it held no substantive significance either. After all, the only place he could completely control at the moment was this shelter.
Whether it was the [Technology] focus or [Research & Production], they would only truly come into play after Yu Yuan completely occupied an area.
Having read all the information about the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization, Yu Yuan opened the virtual map of Green Forest City, his brows slightly furrowed.
"To develop rapidly and surpass those top-ranked veteran players, relying solely on the resources of Green Forest City is possible, but the potential isn't great. The ultimate goal of development must still be placed on other players' worlds, even those player worlds possessing special Civilization Shards."
In fact, the civilization focuses of the [Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization] had already chosen a clear path for him.
That path was invasion and plunder.
But if that was the case...
Yu Yuan looked at the several major districts on the map...
"The plan needs to be accelerated. I can't continue to be entangled with the Thugs faction like this. I must gain control of Green Forest City as soon as possible. Only then can I focus my energy on exploring and developing other worlds, plundering their resources to achieve rapid development."
Thinking of this, a sharp gleam flashed in Yu Yuan's eyes.
"Tomorrow is the day the Ceasefire Token expires. After tomorrow's invasion battle ends, I'll start taking action... to unify Green Forest City."
