Chapter 479: Chapter 374: Ranking Settlement Reward!
Clearly, the Contract Spirit Civilization could not accept reality in the short term.
They still harbored the idea of overtaking Human Civilization and regaining the first place.
From top to bottom, they maintained a high degree of unanimity and even made all kinds of more aggressive preparations.
This included making moves against the region where the Great Sun Immortal Sect was located.
For the Contract Spirit Civilization, death and sacrifice were not frightening, but merely for a more glorious future. This was also the core culture of their entire civilization. Moreover, the cost of striving to regain first place was far less than the cost of admitting defeat.
The entire civilization could not lack cohesion.
On this point, if Shen Hao had known, he would have definitely agreed.
At this time, the situation of Human Civilization was similarly near, relying on victory after victory, and relying on the overwhelming potential against other Trial Civilizations, significantly boosting their own cohesion.
Once defeat occurred, or if Shen Hao, the Emperor, found himself powerless, the entire civilization was likely to be backlash.
However, among the Trial Civilizations, this was an unavoidable matter.
Perhaps no civilization could keep winning forever, but every civilization must strive to keep winning!
Therefore, it was quite easy to guess what radical actions the Second Civilization would take after being surpassed.
But Shen Hao and the high-level members of Human Civilization were not very worried.
Because they had already won.
The first settlement was about to begin!
Indeed, just a week later, when the Contract Spirit Civilization had only just devised its aggressive catch-up plan and hadn’t even had time to start implementing it preliminarily, the Civilization Trial settlement information was transmitted to the personal panels of each Chosen One.
The Contract Spirit Civilization even fell into a huge silence.
Meanwhile, Human Civilization, including the Thunder Fire Civilization and Casey Civilization, all welcomed great joy.
They had won!
On the eve of the first ranking settlement, they had once again taken the top spot on both lists!
The network of Human Civilization suddenly filled with a lot of voices.
“Though it was a bit perilous this time, everything was in the Emperor’s control.”
“It’s mainly because the President is awesome!”
“The front-line warriors are also impressive, along with the Affiliated Civilizations.”
“I can hardly wait to find out what the rewards are.”
“Speaking of which, our reward quantity far exceeds that of other civilizations, how exactly did Your Majesty do it?”
“Shh, don’t ask, if you ask, it’s ‘greatness’!”
“…”
Clearly, by this fourth Trial, especially after having in-depth interactions with some of the other veteran Trial Civilizations, some of the unusual performances of Human Civilization gradually became unhideable.
The multiple points could still be explained by the unique Talent Shen Hao possessed.
But realistically, multiple ranking rewards, that was completely inexplicable!
Even the entire civilization tacitly reduced discussions as much as possible, especially in front of newly joined Affiliated Civilizations, trying to make a fortune quietly.
However, this type of thing simply became impossible to hide as more interactions occurred.
When Dalagon and Thunder God learned that Human Civilization obtained more than one reward per ranking settlement, the shock was indescribable!
They had also ranked first more than once in previous Trials, but there had never been such a concept!
The reward for ranking first was originally much greater than that for ranking second, and to be able to reap multiple items, the advantage brought by this was simply unimaginable!
This was also one of the reasons why the two civilizations increasingly affirmed their decision to become Affiliated Civilizations of Human Civilization, even competing more fiercely with each other.
Regarding this situation, Shen Hao chose to be mysterious.
He offered no explanations, nor did he forcibly hide anything.
He let the other civilizations guess as they wished.
To some extent, the more mysterious and powerful he appeared, the better it was for the cohesion of the entire Civilization System.
Even if a major setback was encountered in the future, these Affiliated Civilizations would definitely not easily defect.
Confidence in one’s own strength was also crucial.
As long as Human Civilization always grew at a rate far surpassing that of other civilizations, what could past civilizations do even if they knew about the cheat?
At present, Shen Hao was most concerned about this hard-earned ranking reward!
Yesterday, the Ranking Reward Hack, just as he had mentioned, provided a step ahead with several choices of reward categories.
First were the “Rule Type,” “Item Type,” and “Secret Realm Type” categories.
And within these categories, there were the “Defense Type,” “Resource Type,” “Offensive Type,” and “Auxiliary Type” to choose from.
These options indeed essentially covered all the types of Civilization Rewards obtained previously.
Shen Hao considered Human Civilization’s current situation and chose Defensive Rule, Offensive Item, and Auxiliary Secret Realm as the three rewards.
After all, despite Human Civilization appearing to be thriving and having just won first place, the actual gap in civilization strength was still there.
They were still the chasers in terms of individual strength.
This was also the destiny of a civilization with great potential.
After all, if a civilization with great potential were also strong, the Trial would simply turn into easy mode.
In such a situation, offense and defense were particularly important.
Based on experience from previously obtained rewards, the Rule Type was generally an enhancement placed on Mother Planet itself, used for defense, which couldn’t be more appropriate.
