Chapter 1209: Chapter 875: A New High Price

The Misty City World is plagued with disasters, and Zheng Yichen has felt this way more than once. Every time he discovers a new surprise, he feels like this world has too many troubles.

"Can we leave this world in the future then?" Qi Xiangyun pondered before saying, "For instance, in our world, there aren’t so many things happening."

"Just how chaotic is your world? My world would be a better choice." Tanshia Firlo glanced at Qi Xiangyun. "The power systems in my world are thriving, the Dragon God and the Luminous Divine type both highly value Fosterers, going there would bring many benefits."

"..." Qi Xiangyun was momentarily speechless. She knew very well the current situation in her world. It’s not extremely chaotic, but the local princes and nobility are still competing against each other.

There aren’t many people, but stability can’t be achieved, plus the hidden Immortal Realm. Once we return, none of the people there will be able to have a good time.

During chaotic times, nothing happens. When the world is at peace, they start causing trouble. Some even secretly support others, and among those supported, some believe that with the help of Immortals, anything can be accomplished, thus leading to their arrogance.

Perhaps not all people from the Immortal Realm are like that, but indeed some have issues, and as for those with issues, Liu Hongzhao’s idea is to kill them all...

They might still be useful for something else, but in this matter, Liu Hongzhao is very resolute.

Their world hasn’t been completely pacified yet, so letting Zheng Yichen stay there would likely encounter some troubles. While those troubles wouldn’t be considered major, they’d still be bothersome, and who wants to frequently deal with such things?

Qi Xiangyun looked rather wistfully at Liu Hongzhao and decided to immediately clear the problematic Immortal Realm upon their return.

"Hahaha, I definitely won’t leave Hazy City. It’s already this messed up here, and if worse things happen in the future, it would be normal. Staying here as a precaution." Zheng Yichen laughed as he spoke.

Though Hazy City has been balanced, the value of this world is extremely high to the Boundary Breaking Faction.

The possibility of a Boundary Breaker finding this place is low, but it is not zero. Besides, after balancing, hells between worlds have connected, so although most of the original residents won’t notice any issues, what if they do?

So it’s best to reside in the Misty City World. Anyway, it would take a long time for any problem to arise in a balanced world.

There wasn’t anything bad here before either.

"There’s not that much ’what if.’ " Tanshia Firlo sighed in slight disappointment, muttering softly as she looked at the bowl in front of her. Today there was no divine wine she liked to drink, only juice and plain water.

"Hahaha, you never know. Let’s eat, let’s eat." Zheng Yichen picked up his chopsticks and started the clean plate movement. The next day, he went to the Dusk Cathedral again.

This place was lively as ever, with many Dusk mercenaries active here. Although ordinary residents of Hazy City felt curious about such changes, after all, the city itself already had the existence of Alien Phenomenon hunters.

Additionally, Dusk mercenaries and Alien Phenomenon hunters are easily confused. Moreover, with such a significant change in Hazy City recently, the Hunter profession has also become a new emerging career.

Furthermore, the increase in environmental strength has allowed those with power to easily gain even greater strength, so the number of such Hunters has started to surge.

Not only that, according to the information Anke uploaded via Illusory Eye, many studies have made brand new breakthroughs. The previously doomed-to-fail human strengthening research is now emerging one after another like bamboo shoots after a rain.

There are also many similar developments in special power research; the Ahn family’s research on magic has become more relaxed.

After the environmental changes, the impact was various, including the development of technology.

In a low environment, technological development is essentially normal or even slowed down, whereas, in a high environment, technological development receives an extra boost in research progress.

Therefore, the emergence of high technology in a high environment isn’t that remarkable. In a high environment, no matter how advanced technology becomes, it’s possible to produce many individuals with extraordinary combat power.

But to develop technology to the level of interstellar travel in a low environment, that’s truly remarkable.

The changes in the Misty City World can only be considered normal. If the environment improves and there aren’t that many changes, it only suggests that this place’s foundation is extremely poor.

Unfortunately, the foundation of the Misty City World isn’t weak, but it can’t keep up with the sudden changes in resources. To obtain better resources, one needs to go through other Phenomena and enter other worlds to acquire them.

This is also the current major change. With the world cup balanced, the existence duration of those Phenomena is getting longer and longer. Before balancing, the existence of a Phenomenon would generally not exceed ten hours; shorter ones lasted two or three hours, and longer ones five or six hours.

But now, the minimum average duration of emerging Phenomena already exceeds six hours.

The longest one hasn’t disappeared even after a whole day!

This also makes it easier for Alien Phenomenon hunters to explore. There’s no need to rush into the Phenomena and retreat immediately if they find nothing.

Now, there’s plenty of time for slow exploration.

According to this trend, in at most half a year, the existence time of Phenomena in the Misty City World will be about a day. This is the lowest existence time.

Not to mention those that persist for a long time; anything lasting over three days won’t seem too rare.

There are already many Phenomena in Hazy City. Their sudden appearance and rapid disappearance prevent them from being overly exaggerated. However, if a Phenomenon exists for too long, it means more Phenomena will accumulate together.

When that happens, it’s not just about exploring the Phenomena in Hazy City; steps must be taken to actively reduce their number. Fortunately, excessive stimuli can lead to instability in Phenomena, thus reducing their duration.

Therefore, Hazy City is truly plagued with difficulties. After being tricked by the Equilibrists’ scrub player, this world began to fall uncontrollably into the Abyss.

Without disturbing Tia, Zheng Yichen specifically went to the storage cabinet, looking at the things stored inside, such as storage disks, while letting Lilith conduct a scan.

Lilith will soon provide him with a streamlined overview.

A few minutes later, Lilith completed the streamlined organization of vast data. Chiang Wei’s side had made new findings in the study of extraterrestrial spaceships. Some technologies could be applied to the Firmament Wheel, and there was a certain level of breakthrough in the research on the Super Firmament Wheel.

But the spatial compression technology couldn’t be solved, so the theoretical Firmament Wheel couldn’t be completed.

Even though the Firmament Wheel World has assigned many Dusk mercenaries to actively search for worlds with spatial technology, such technology is undoubtedly extremely advanced and not easy to acquire.

However, the Dusk mercenaries in that world came into contact with other Dusk Organizations, where a large organization greatly needs the official support of the whole world’s Dusk mercenaries.

Therefore, those Dusk mercenaries with unified world backgrounds are very welcomed in the organization.

A unified world official paired with Dusk mercenaries is basically a very powerful logistics base, not to mention the high technological level and decent combat capability of the Firmament Wheel World, which makes them even more appealing.

The breakthrough in Super Firmament Wheel research also came after cooperation with the Dusk Organization.

Now, the Firmament Wheel World’s side is applying to Zheng Yichen, as the Dusk Organization also wants to participate in the research on the extraterrestrial spaceship, with the ticket being some space-related technologies.

"Why does it feel like handling edicts as an emperor? Approved!" Zheng Yichen, looking at the application items organized by Lilith, waved his hand to approve them, as enhancing the Dusk Organization’s strength benefits his position.

Let them participate if they want to research, since those extraterrestrial spaceships were all picked up anyway.

Meanwhile, spatial technology is a rarer asset. It’d be great to develop some warp technology. Then he could have Lilith equipped with one, which would mean he could take off instantly and be taken on interstellar travels by Lilith.

It’s quite exciting to think about.

There is other information, but after Zheng Yichen replied to each one, he stretched his body: "It’d be great to obtain the Super Firmament Wheel within the year; then, you could become the Lord of the Firmament Wheel."

"That would divert my focus from providing exclusive service to the boss." Lilith calmly stated, saying that with her current capacity, driving the Firmament Wheel was effortless. However, if she really became the Lord of the Firmament Wheel as Zheng Yichen suggested, it would consume some additional computing power to maintain the Firmament Wheel’s operations daily.

It’s better to find a suitable subordinate AI to manage these matters, and she would just need to conduct regular reviews.

"Haha, let’s wait until we get that thing first."

After handling the information matters, Zheng Yichen took a bone piece over to Tia. This fragment could be said to be the last remnant of the Ancient Venerable, which, upon contacting the Ancient Immortal Mountain, would immediately turn into soil.

But after Zheng Yichen preserved it, it remained intact, yet the piece itself had little power. Lilith had studied it; this thing, like stone, couldn’t be used for other studies like the Great Evil God fragment.

It has no effect on living beings, but it is useful!

"I want to use this for Phenomenon manifestation strengthening."

"80 merit points."

"...How much?" Zheng Yichen thought he misheard.

Tia reiterated, "80 merit points. If accompanied by other equipment, then it’s 100 merit points."

She referred to the additional consumption when the equipment used by Zheng Yichen’s associates is added.

"...Then let’s wait." Zheng Yichen had no choice; he only had 46 merit points left. Consuming 80 merit points at once would mean the highest strengthening cost in history.

While he could obtain new merit points through transactions, and there were also abundant merit points stored in the Dusk Organization, merit points don’t necessarily guarantee good items.

The consumption of merit points is one thing, but what truly matters are materials that can’t be obtained through merit points.
