Chapter 354: [Civilization Clock Tower], Lights Up [Military Building: Early Civilization War Fortress]
As for the anesthetic drugs needed to make the Spirituality Inhibitor, the Aurora Animal Assistance Association had quite a few reserves. Yu Yuan had Mona prepare a portion, which he would pick up later.
After washing up in the bathroom and changing into a clean, warm set of woolen clothes, Yu Yuan looked at the three Civilization Treasure Chests placed on the boss's desk, his mood slightly stirring with excitement.
One Gold, two Silver.
This was the harvest from his invasion war today.
The results were exceptionally fruitful.
Especially his gaze when he looked at the Gold Civilization Treasure Chest was exceptionally fervent.
He had obtained a total of three Civilization Treasure Chests before, and not a single item he got was subpar.
[Underground Farm Construction Blueprint Set], [Commander System], [Civilization Shards]
Each item had given Yu Yuan a solid, tangible boost in strength.
Naturally, he placed extra importance on this round of chest opening.However, the Gold Civilization Treasure Chest was obviously the grand finale, to be opened last.
Yu Yuan first opened the two Silver Civilization Treasure Chests.
As the Civilization Treasure Chests opened, a pager button and a mechanical model appeared.
Picking up the two items, information appeared accordingly.
[Goblin Engineering Team]
Quality: Silver
Function: Summon the Goblin Engineering Team to rapidly construct a single item/facility/building. The materials required for construction will be deducted in the form of survival points.
——————————
[Yo-yo Assault Rifle Production Line]
Quality: Silver
Function: Using this blueprint grants one [Yo-yo Assault Rifle] production line, including a matching ammunition production line. (Yo-yo Assault Rifle: Excellent quality firearm with considerable power.)
——————————
"This..."
The two Silver items made Yu Yuan abruptly sit up straight.
Good stuff.
Both are excellent items!
Especially that [Yo-yo Assault Rifle Production Line] which could actually mass-produce Excellent quality firearms, and even came with an ammunition production line. That this was only a Silver quality item...
It's simply incredible.
"Could it be that cross-ranking challenges also come with an item rarity bonus?"
Yu Yuan couldn't help but suspect this.
No need to say more, both items were safely stored away. As for how to use them specifically, he already had ideas.
Next was the most important Gold Civilization Treasure Chest.
Taking a deep breath, the chest opened.
Golden light illuminated the room. Yu Yuan shielded his eyes with his left hand, but faintly, the sound of tolling bells seemed to reach his ears.
As the light faded, Yu Yuan saw the item inside the chest clearly.
It was actually a bell tower!
[Civilization Clock Tower]
Introduction: This is the symbol of a civilization.
Type: Civilization Building
Quality: Gold
Current Level: Level 1
Functions:
① The Civilization Clock Tower can serve as a civilization's core building, possessing the effect of a Civilization Council Hall. Civilization resolutions can be rapidly disseminated to all areas within the civilization's influence.
② The Civilization Clock Tower possesses an [Energy Barrier] that can protect all areas within a 500-meter radius of the Clock Tower. The energy barrier will automatically activate when under attack. ([Energy Barrier]: Defense Value 1000. 10 units of energy recovers 1 point of Defense Value.)
(Friendly Reminder: Energy or energy-type items can be consumed to restore or upgrade the Civilization Clock Tower, expanding its protection range and unlocking new functions.)
Yu Yuan's hand trembled slightly.
This is a civilization-type building?
Just as he was pondering, the [Civilization Clock Tower] disappeared from before Yu Yuan's eyes. Instead, a message appeared on the Virtual Light Screen.
[『Civilization Clock Tower』 has been sealed. Please select a deployment area.]
Yu Yuan checked. Once deployed, the [Civilization Clock Tower] would occupy a 40m x 40m square area as the main body of the Clock Tower.
The current [Civilization Clock Tower] was only Level 1. To upgrade it to Level 2 required consuming 10,000 units of energy. This 10,000 units of energy was not restricted by type.
Electrical energy, Blood Energy, Void Energy—all were acceptable. Even energy-type resources like coal, Void Energy Ore, and petroleum could be used.
However, the quantity of energy-type resources consumed would definitely be greater than that of pure energy.
But this also gave Yu Yuan ample room for choice.
For the deployment location of the Civilization Clock Tower, Yu Yuan naturally prioritized the area above his shelter, adding another layer of protection for the shelter.
Although Yu Yuan's shelter was currently very safe—after all, other players wanting to invade his world could only enter the battlefield with their followers—this situation would be different once he reached the Bronze tier.
Invasion wars at the Bronze tier were no longer battles between players on a single channel, but a web-like free-for-all structure involving all channels.
Train Survival, Raft Survival, Dungeon Survival, Island Survival, Road Survival, Sky Survival...
Players of all types could engage in a massive free-for-all. Train Survival players could launch invasions driving their Doomsday Trains, and Raft Survival players could also appear in the Green Forest Sea area with their ocean-going giants to attack him.
Precisely because of this, player-versus-player conflicts at the Bronze tier were more brutal and intense.
Protection for the shelter also had to be much more robust.
Now, having this Civilization Clock Tower was undoubtedly a powerful defensive facility.
However, Yu Yuan wasn't in a hurry to make a decision.
The Civilization Clock Tower had both advantages and disadvantages. While creating an energy barrier, it would also make the Clock Tower's presence clearly visible to enemies.
He still had time before advancing to the Bronze tier, and his civilization had just started. There was no need to make a hasty decision.
The opening of the three Civilization Treasure Chests was complete.
The harvest was immense.
Yu Yuan opened the [Civilization Focus] page, his gaze locking onto the [Fusion] focus page that appeared after killing Xiao Wu and absorbing the [Subterranean Gloom Civilization].
Opening the page.
What appeared this time was no longer a tree-like structure like [War], [Legal Code], or [Technology], but a web-like structure.
Right in the center of the page was the golden emblem of the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization.
The emblem's pattern featured a firearm and a longsword crossed, with a thick legal codebook positioned precisely at the intersection of the gun and sword.
At this moment, the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization emblem was like a fixed star, firmly occupying the C-position on the page.
Beside the emblem, there was already a smaller black emblem attached to the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization emblem.
It flickered faintly with light—it was the [Subterranean Gloom Civilization] emblem.
The emblem's pattern depicted an underground river flowing through a gloomy cave, with moss and fungi growing on both sides of the river.
Between the two civilization emblems, two new civilization focuses had emerged.
——Gloom Perception: All members of the civilization gain +50% perception ability in gloomy environments. Unlock cost: 20 Civilization Points.
——Gloom Technology: Unlocks the Gloom Civilization technology tree and removes fusion restrictions. Unlock cost: 20 Civilization Points.
Yu Yuan rubbed his chin, looking at the two civilization focuses on the light screen.
The number of Civilization Points required for unlocking was not small, but the effects were worthy of the price.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Yuan didn't directly click to choose. Instead, he opened the third-tier civilization focus under [War] — [Expansionism].
His gaze fell on that [Military Building: Primary Civilization War Fortress].
He wanted to light up this focus first.
Unlock — [Military Building: Primary Civilization War Fortress], consuming 100 Civilization Points.
As 100 Civilization Points were consumed, only 22 points remained.
