Chapter 1058: Chapter 773: Technology Strength Can’t Hold Up Anymore

"It’s too chaotic..." Zheng Yichen looked at the information on the internet. In just a few days, Hazy City had become completely disordered. The dramatic environmental changes had impacted every aspect.

Moreover, the magnitude of equilibrium in this World Cup event is high. If when Zheng Yichen came back the environmental intensity was at Level 3, now it has reached Level 4.

An increase of two levels in less than a month?

The local technological power hasn’t developed that quickly, new monsters may appear at any time, and people with special powers need more time to go from possessing to mastering those powers.

As the efficacy of technology-based weapons gradually decreases, the advantage humans have begins to wane.

Many military patrols can be seen on the streets, and the worst part is the environmental changes have also brought many new Phenomena to Hazy City.

Previously, because of the low environmental level here, those Phenomena would avoid coming directly. Now it’s different; the environment has strengthened, but the technology hasn’t updated to anything more powerful.

Occasionally, attacks from the other side of the Phenomena boom through, no longer just weakened attacks. With the environmental strength at Level 4, some attacks can cause immense destruction.

Just yesterday, a Phenomenon appeared near his residence, and something extremely dangerous on the other side delivered a powerful attack directly at his area.

Furious, Zheng Yichen didn’t utter a second word and immediately rushed over to completely annihilate the troublemaker on the other side.

After the environment was balanced to Level 4, the rate of intensification began to slow down, but with such a sudden increase, whether it slows down or not doesn’t really matter anymore.

Unless the technology can breakthrough rapidly in a short time, the native humans can’t expect to regain much of their advantage.

Looking at just an increase of two levels, but this kind of promotion has brought a difference that’s tens of times bigger.

In such an environment, he could kill countless versions of himself from a Level 2 environment.

"This is just the beginning, the intensity of mutations is increasing, and Hazy City will become even more chaotic," Ahn Ke said standing next to Zheng Yichen.

She had studied some of the newly emerged aberrant creatures, and the results were very bad. The strength of these aberrant creatures could easily ignore many conventional weapon attacks.

Heavy firepower also struggles to pose a direct threat, only more powerful missiles and such can still be effective. However, as these aberrant creatures continue to strengthen, such weapons will soon become useless.

The standard for technologically based weapons in this world is still set by the original environmental strength of Hazy City; nuclear weapons are still very effective, but against aberrant creatures in a higher environment, it will cause some creatures to mutate further.

For someone like Zheng Yichen, who is in a Level 4 strength environment, nuclear weapons and the like can already be ignored.

Even though many strong individuals have now appeared in Hazy City, and the presence of Dusk mercenaries has made it relatively stable, this place is still Hazy City, the location with the highest mutation rate in the world.

If not for these beings, Hazy City would have fallen long ago.

Zheng Yichen himself has gone out hunting many times, but these actions can only delay the inevitable downfall.

Survival has become very difficult for ordinary people here; mutated creatures like hardened-skinned rats are no longer something ordinary people can handle. Their hardened fur can block bullets from regular firearms, and these are just normal rats.

"In a high strength environment, materials also gain corresponding strength or some new characteristics," Zheng Yichen said as he took out a piece of metal.

The change in the environment has caused some materials in this world to change as well, but the problem is that this change is even slower!

The quickest changes, and the fastest enhancement, occur in aberrant creatures. Subsequent changes are quite fair. Humans and common animals change almost at the same level, plants change at a slower rate than humans and animals.

Minerals and such change even slower.

It will take decades, if not hundreds of years, to catch up with the environmental changes unless some new mineral emerges during this time. Only a new mineral that is synchronized with the environment from the beginning can match up.

"Too slow," Ahn Ke shook her head.

"So I’m planning to use some other methods," Zheng Yichen smiled. "The enhancement of the environment can make some operations easier."

"Is there anything I can help with?"

Zheng Yichen shook his head, Ahn Ke couldn’t help with this matter. Each has their expertise; Ahn Ke’s research could save Zheng Yichen a lot of merit points, but when it comes to magic, there’s only so much she could do.

He plans to take out a segment of the World Tree’s primeval branch and leaves, making it into the core of a magic array formation, then deploy a super-large Barrier capable of covering Hazy City.

This Barrier won’t eliminate Phenomena, but it can suppress the mutating factors. As long as the mutations don’t proceed so intensely, Long Chen’s side will quickly stabilize.

As for other places, they’re actually better off. Other places don’t have the kind of environment Hazy City has; many factors can be controlled.

Zheng Yichen is surrounded by talented individuals skilled in crafting items and magic, including two super AIs that have recorded extensive magical knowledge.

All these factors combined make Zheng Yichen’s plan entirely feasible, and there is even no need to incur extra expenses at the Dusk Cathedral.

"However, I have never worked with this type of material before, I might not do it well, but I can provide a sample," Lillian said with a slight headache as she looked at the materials Zheng Yichen had taken out.

In her native world, creating a protective barrier large enough to cover an entire city wasn’t difficult.

But this world is far different from her native one, even with environmental enhancements and the lifting of some restrictions, there remains a significant gap.

In such a disparity, the fact that Zheng Yichen presented high-quality materials for her to handle made it somewhat difficult for her.

"A sample will do, let’s start by making a finished product from the next best alternative material."

"Ha, then there’s no problem," Lillian immediately committed to this task, and the relevant design work followed.

Nelliwey is skilled in numerous magics, and both Katrina’s Blessing Magic and Eileena’s Curse magic could be utilized, even Lillian’s plan included a new operation.

Let Eileena summon a bunch of ’Natural Guardians’ through necromantic skill, as after all, Zheng Yichen provided a branch from the World Tree. Although it wasn’t a primordial tree branch, it still possessed potent effects.

Looking at the design Lillian presented, Zheng Yichen inadvertently rubbed his chin, wondering why it looked like a Soul Attracting Banner?

"Soul Attracting Banner? What’s that? This is a flag," Lillian rolled her eyes at Zheng Yichen: "Since it’s meant for range guarding, making it into a flag seems appropriate, right? Plus, it can be used as a weapon when rolled up."

"If it’s a flag, then let it be a flag. As long as you think the effect is feasible, that’s fine by me," Zheng Yichen waved his hand, leaving it to the professionals.

Natural Guardians, after all, are about using necromantic skills to summon suitable souls and fuse them with plants, transforming them into treant-like beings for battle.

The convenience here is that as long as there are plants around, Natural Guardians can be summoned, which can be seen as a form of unique full-map support.

Zheng Yichen could do this too, where casting Hellfire would achieve the necessary operation, although Hellfire is admittedly a bit scary-looking.

"Then let’s start by making a prototype."

With Zheng Yichen’s approval, Lillian immediately started working, assisted by two super AIs, which she found rather novel.

However, given the special materials used, creating the final product would still take some time.

Zheng Yichen made a trip to Dusk; things here had returned to the status quo, with numerous Dusk mercenaries discussing matters; they hadn’t given up on their native worlds.

Even though this world has been balanced, any disaster is a matter for the distant future, not to mention that in this world, they can now exert stronger powers, which is beneficial for them.

The issue is, beneficial as it may be, it’s chaotic if the native world becomes a mess. At first, they could easily solve some troubles, but with the increasing strength of Aberrant creatures, they are now somewhat overwhelmed.

In their native world, they still have families and don’t want to see Hazy City being overrun, thus they have gathered here to ponder over possible solutions.

Zheng Yichen has already seen part of the strategies they discussed. There are several unique areas in Hazy City, created by the Dusk mercenaries.

But, those can only protect a small portion of the area. If there were more Dusk mercenaries in this world, connecting large and small protected areas might cover the entire Hazy City.

The environment in Hazy City, however... mere protection is not enough, it can’t suppress those Aberrant creatures, and the protected zones could be breached, failing to completely solve the problem.

Moreover, that kind of protection requires sufficient strength to maintain.

Zheng Yichen came to the Storage Cabinet, pulling out the ’report’ inside it. Not much time had passed, and there was little progress on Chiang Wei’s side; Du Gang had just replied to Zheng Yichen.

Regarding the situation on Zheng Yichen’s side, Du Gang didn’t have any solutions either, having been raided by scrub player of the Equilibrium Faction, what else could be done?

If possible, Du Gang would indeed love to get revenge on the Equilibrists who had tricked him previously, but being a Proxy Agent for a long time, he hadn’t received any related news.

There are too many worlds, plus the Equilibrium Faction isn’t focused on directly destroying worlds; once they succeed, it means the world has been balanced and Dusk won’t arrange any Proxy Agents to go there.

Now, by aiding Zheng Yichen, at most he could handle some Aberrant creatures, which doesn’t help with the chaos caused in Zheng Yichen’s native world.

However, Du Gang did provide Zheng Yichen with several special cultivation methods.

Not anything extremely powerful, but suitable for the common people to lay a foundation, enhance their base and gain a degree of combat capability, which won’t conflict with switching to other cultivation methods later.
