Chapter 560: Chapter 411: The Underground Alliance, in Crisis!
Don’t think that just because Lu Yuan has secretly forged a “Myth” in Human Civilization, he represents the normal standard of humanity. He’s an anomaly.
Lu Yuan has enjoyed the majority of the Human Civilization’s Qi Fortune, and he possesses sufficiently powerful talents, a high “Divine Attribute” score of 30, a wealth of life experiences, and… a large quantity of precious materials.
Other human craftsmen don’t have these conditions.
On the whole, the standard of human craftsmanship actually falls short of that of Shu Miba crafters, and it’s also slightly inferior to that of the Underground Alliance.
Moreover, other human craftsmen have not yet forged “Legendary Equipment,” which is a significant deficiency.
Of course, this is also related to humans being underdeveloped for 50 years… The 50 years surrounded by Ghost fog in the deep sea were indeed wasted.
“Legendary Equipment, huh… How could a Noob Civilization have Legendary Equipment? When did this become so commonplace?”
Lu Yuan exhaled softly: “Their technology has reached the Information Age, which I can understand, after all, Physical Technology can rely on past developments.”
“But the Underground Alliance’s Ideal Technology is also quite excellent, which is very meaningful.”
“Can a Noob Civilization, without any relics of previous civilizations, produce Superior equipment and Legendary Equipment in a hundred years?”
This is actually quite difficult, such as the study of Engraving.
Humans have developed rapidly because they have a complete inheritance from previous generations, just needing to methodically learn.
But a civilization without inheritance, tinkering for a hundred years, would do well just to invent the most common “Solid Rune!”
The Underground Alliance, despite being completely ignorant of the outside world, still has a decent mastery of Forging Science, which is really strange.
“There are two possibilities,” Professor Lu Tiantian analyzed, “First, one of their races is a Second Generation Civilization, and they had already started developing Forging Science before coming to Pangu Continent.”
There are actually quite a few Second Generation Civilizations.
It’s possible that Earth People are a Second Generation Civilization, just that they’ve lost their ancestral inheritance.
“The second possibility… they found an inheritance from a High-level Civilization here.”
Lu Yuan nodded in agreement: “As you all know, the ‘Great Gear Treasure’ is something I found in the magma beneath the ground.”
“This Crack is itself created by a High-level Civilization, so there’s a fair chance it contains an inheritance.”
“Their fortress here, some of the gear structures inside seem familiar… but I can’t be sure because many Engravings are concealed, invisible to the naked eye, and conclusions can be drawn only after hands-on study.”
“And what about that Grotto Heaven… maybe it’s also a legacy of High-level Civilization… Gear Civilization?”
Lu Yuan took out a small Jade Pendant from Storage Space, pondering it carefully.
This was the “Spiritual Jade,” which recorded the complete inheritance of the “Great Gear Treasure.”
After using it once, it shattered completely.
However, he still remembered a few lines left by the Gear Civilization:
[As a Gear Inheritor, you are prone to attacks by Ghost·Magic Machinery. Do not misuse it until you can handle Ghost-level Phenomena.]
[As Gear Inheritors, if you encounter fellow inheritors, cherish the fate. Support each other harmoniously, that is a wonderful thing.]
[If you fight amongst yourselves, isolated and weak, you will inevitably be defeated one by one.]
Lu Yuan’s eyes widened: “Because of the threat of Ghost·Magic Machinery, I didn’t share the ‘Great Gear Treasure’ with other people of Human… ”
“But this Underground Alliance, they wouldn’t be misusing this inheritance, would they?”
The crowd fell silent for a moment and then broke into a sweat.
Humans have had so many opportunities along the way, and they thought they’d developed quite well…
But compared to the colossal entity that is Gear Civilization, they are still just a tiny shrimp… and what about Ghost·Magic Machinery? If it really comes over, wouldn’t it lead to the extinction of humans as well…
Thinking this, everyone wasn’t sure what to say, as if they were sitting next to a ticking nuclear bomb…
People’s gazes toward the Minotaur turned strange.
Lu Yuan swallowed his saliva: “It’s not that tense. ‘Great Gear Treasure’ requires a Divine Attribute of 30 to fully learn; I don’t think they have a craftsman with a Divine score of 30.”
A Great Spirit Rhythmer with 30 Divine score is indeed very difficult.
Lingering underground without extraordinary encounters, it’s hard to achieve.
“Moreover, Gear Civilization’s inheritance would also come with warnings… The Underground Alliance should not be foolish enough to ignore any warnings.”
“Maybe the knowledge they’ve obtained can be used openly… ”
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment: “Let’s do this, during the gambling fight, try attacking their armor with the ‘Blue Radiance Sword’ so that I can observe the Engraving on it. If they are indeed misusing forbidden knowledge, we’d better escape early… Let Ghost·Magic Machinery be their own burden.”
“But if their knowledge is usable and we just happen not to have it, then it’s actually a good thing.”
“I’ll go!” Guo Dafeng volunteered, “That Bull Head looks like a strength type… and I am speed-oriented, an attrition type, I can counter him.”
Lu Yuan nodded, now with so many Level 7 Field Masters, he didn’t need to go to the battlefield himself anymore.
“If in the fight you find yourself much stronger than your opponent, you can fight a bit longer so we can observe more information.”
“If the opponent is stronger than you, try to hold on for as long as possible… Even when a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses all its strength, be careful.”
“Understood!” Guo Dafeng put on the Yingyu Armor, holding a long sword and a Large shield, and jumped into the field.
