Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

Chapter 360: Chapter 312: The Huge Benefits of the Update_2
 

As the VIP Level rose to Level 4, the VIP Store had come to almost exclusively feature Purple Epic quality goods, and the number of Blue High-quality goods had noticeably decreased.

Resources weren’t too much of a concern, but the lack of certain technology fields directly impacted Human Civilization’s technological tree development on all three paths.

Especially in the technology field.

In the last Trial, Human Civilization encountered a pure technology civilization like Desert Tower Civilization, but this time, not a single technology civilization could be found. The growth rate in technology was directly slower than the other two paths, and the Cultivation Path even managed to overtake it, becoming the strongest path within Human Civilization.

And now, with these Blue High-quality goods, the development of the technological tree could finally catch up somewhat.

“It’s all good news.” Shen Hao worried at the beginning when he saw the major update of the version, fearing that this clearly uncontrolled change in the Civilization Trial might update toward a worse situation.

But now it seems that it didn’t come to that.

At least the changes to the Civilization Mall were beneficial to civilization and provided significant help.

Shen Hao then turned his attention to the second update content.

[Open Civilization Trade Page]

The moment he saw this update, it had caught Shen Hao’s particular attention.

Trade in civilization, but with whom?

Surely not with Affiliated Civilizations!

Shen Hao directly checked the details of this update.

[The Civilization Trade page will open the cross-civilization trading function between different Trial Civilizations within the same civilization tier]

[All civilizations can be operated by managers or the Chosen Ones endowed with authorization, uploading goods, marking prices, or spending points to purchase goods from other civilizations]

[Note 1: Trade goods are limited to those that passed the Civilization Trial concept review, and no form of information, intelligence, or technology exchange is allowed]

[Note 2: Points earned through trade are trade points, subject to certain trade taxes, not included in the total accumulated points from the Civilization Mall, nor participating in VIP purchase discounts]

“It really is cross-civilization trade!” Shen Hao read through all the content about civilization trade, his expression becoming slightly more serious.

His gaze rested on the first note.

This note seemed to restrict the current civilization trade to product and resource exchanges only, barring direct communication of intelligence or technology sharing.

It also set a limit on levels, clearly preventing trade with civilizations of much stronger tiers.

The second note even restricted the pathway for significantly boosting Civilization Mall Level through trade.

But even with these numerous restrictions, the opening of the civilization trade function still had an overwhelmingly huge impact on all Trial Civilizations!

After all, every Trial Civilization inevitably had its strengths!

Take for example.

Under the dual effect of Gan Yuan and the Refining Spirit Pot, the production cost of certain elixirs within Human Civilization was very low, far lower than the price of similar elixirs in the Civilization Mall. If sold at a slightly lower price than the mall’s, it would naturally be more affordable for those civilizations that lacked the ability to produce such elixirs.

At the same time, Human Civilization could earn a large amount of points, which could be used to purchase high-quality, High-level goods in the Civilization Mall, or even more goods within other civilizations.

It could be said that this would greatly enhance the economic effects within a civilization!

The impact was immensely profound!

The gains in the economic field could easily spread to the technology field, or even the military field!

After all, civilizations with higher technological levels and richer resource foundations could reap greater benefits!

“We must set up a cross-civilization trade management department.” Shen Hao resolved, “Within the same civilizational tier, our Human Civilization’s various foundations absolutely rank at the top, this is an opportunity, a chance to reap insane profits!”

After all, Human Civilization was essentially cheating!

If he were facing civilizations of higher levels and greater scale, Shen Hao wouldn’t have such confidence, but among those on the same level, how many could compare with Human Civilization in terms of heritage?

This was practically opening up an immensely vast market for Human Civilization, allowing them to dominate on all fronts. For a moment, Shen Hao could hardly estimate how colossal the profits might be!

In comparison, the markets of affiliated civilizations seemed to count for almost nothing.

With a hint of curiosity, Shen Hao opened the page for civilization trade to have a look.

It had just undergone an update, but a series of products had already started to appear on the page, in various types and styles and with quantities continuously guaranteed. Prices were also constantly changing.

Shen Hao even saw some basic resources, the most fundamental Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, whose prices were falling, seemingly setting to undercut all competitors.

It even made him suspect that these civilizations might be in the throes of a perilous Trial, and had to sell frantically to earn the points needed to save their civilizations.

Even though the Mother Planet of Human Civilization had already obtained abundant resources, Shen Hao felt that it was a steal to buy at these prices.

However, he didn’t make a move.

Such a new market would have too many variables; what felt like a profit now might turn into a significant loss later.

Since he decided to establish a department, it was better to pool the wisdom of civilization for detailed analysis, rather than indulge in mindless spree shopping.

“The upcoming rest period will probably not be boring,” Shen Hao said, full of anticipation as he took another glance at the trade page before closing it.

As the strongest in civilization, the Guardian God, and even the actual ruler, Shen Hao needed to learn to stay calm and cautious, and more importantly, to delegate authority.

He only needed to work hard to push his limits, control the core direction, and fully enhance both the strength of civilization and himself.@@novelbin@@

Shen Hao then turned to look at the third update.

This time, it concerned the affiliated civilizations.

The system for affiliated civilizations had actually undergone a minor update before.

Initially, the news from Erin Ellie suggested that affiliated civilizations were also participating in the Trial as Trial Civilizations and even qualified to partake in civilization rankings.

But in the last Trial, there were no ranks for affiliated civilizations at all.

Keep in mind that not only Human Civilization had affiliated civilizations; the other nine civilizations all had their own affiliates, with Ebat Civilization owning up to four, treating them as breeding grounds for “Demons”. Counted all together, nearly thirty civilizations actually participated in the last Trial.

However, only the nine powerful civilizations qualified for civilization rankings.

Affiliated civilizations, at best, had Chosen Ones eligible to participate in Chosen One rankings.

By comparison, their power had been significantly reduced.

But with the latest update, the changes were greater, and the rules more perfected.

[When a civilization has more than five affiliated civilizations, it will be eligible to create a “Civilization System”]

[The Civilization System will have a dedicated system page. Its founding civilization can share the Civilization Mall with its affiliated civilizations, and open a unique Civilization System Mall. For more details, please explore on your own]

[Civilizations that create a “Civilization System” will participate in Trials as a “Civilization System” as the basic unit, with all members taking part]

“A new ‘Civilization System’ has emerged?” Shen Hao pondered the comparatively brief update, his mind churning with thoughts.

It felt a bit like those “alliances” in some games.

By creating alliances, all civilizations within could support each other in warfare and benefit from each other’s development.

However, even without this so-called “Civilization System”, the operation of the current system of affiliated civilizations worked similarly.

Even the shared “Civilization Mall” was more about convenience than any fundamental change.

After all, Human Civilization was already sharing high-level store items with affiliated civilizations and purchasing interesting products from the unique Extraordinary Paths of its affiliations.

Mutual aid was simply one of the most basic benefits of having affiliated civilizations.
