Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Siti People at the Construction Site
It only took a moment of harvesting time, and the Level 19 Mall opened!
The upgrading of Civilization Trial stores indeed exhibits a very obvious snowball effect.
The more one resists the Trials, the more points they can obtain; and the more points one has, the easier it is to resist the Trials, thereby gaining even more points.
This effect, under the triple points hack, could be said to be fully maximized.
Previously, many were concerned that, given the increasingly higher amount of points needed for each store upgrade, it would become more and more difficult to level up later on.
It was supposed to be that way.
But Shen Hao could now obtain a large number of points at any moment.
Just these farmed Undead alone could rapidly elevate him to the Level 20 Mall!
In fact, once these three hundred Underground Cities were successively completed, he might even have the chance to directly ascend to Level 21!
At this stage, being able to level up the store multiple times in a short period, just like at the beginning, would be absolutely unbelievable to other civilizations; it had far surpassed common understanding.
But when facing this Civilization Trial, one must use hacks!
“The Level 19 Mall, judging by technology alone, seems to have the capability to immigrate an entire star system,” Shen Hao still habitually gauged the store levels by technological tiers. “However, a regular mall only carries White Level products, which are basic, civilian, and mass-producible items. Otherwise, a civilization of this tech level would be able to establish cities and bases on even more inhospitable Alien Planets.”

It was somewhat regrettable.
Just by looking at these White products, one could roughly gauge the strength possessed by a civilization at this technological level.
Without going into other details, Shen Hao even spotted a basic model of a fully automatic construction production line.
Just one piece of equipment and some raw materials were enough to automatically and rapidly construct skyscrapers.
One could imagine that if these products were of Blue, or even Purple or Gold Quality, fully automated large-scale construction could be achieved.
“For the next hack, I’ll try to target the VIP product lock hack,” Shen Hao thought to himself.
But he didn’t delay his work.
Fleets of transport spaceships took off from the Chosen One Association, continuously transporting products from the mall to all over the world.
Even if the chilling wind howled and the environment was harsh, it posed no issue for these spaceships purchased directly from the mall.
Points were being rapidly spent.
As the Store Level rose, the prices increased accordingly. The White Level 19 Mall now even had space freighters, which when configured for passenger transport, could carry thousands of people at once, but their price was equally steep, at over six hundred million points!
And that was after a 15% discount for VIP2.
This goes to show that points, in a sense, equated to currency within a super-civilization, with everything from a loaf of bread to a Space Battleship having undergone a unified value conversion.
Shen Hao didn’t keep too much in hand, quickly converting points into strength, for that was the essence of power.
After all, a real surge in points was about to come!
And at this very moment, Karla and the others had finally arrived on this planet.
“You will stay here for now, as the first batch of specially designed air masks is limited,” Shen Qian was still in charge of communication. “Physical examinations and vaccinations will also take place here. You’ll come batch by batch, and once completed, you’ll be quickly sent to various places to start working.”
Species from another planet naturally couldn’t just come over without precautions.
Although the air components of Planet No.3 were similar to those of most Life Planets, there were still some differences, such as a higher oxygen concentration, which would require special masks for a short period.
Moreover, a detailed examination of the bacteria and viruses on this species had been conducted beforehand.
Although there were some bacteria and viruses not found in humans, their types didn’t break the mold. With current scientific technology, they would not cause widespread harm; conversely, some of the routine viruses on the human side were somewhat dangerous to them, making vaccines necessary.
It was fortunate that technology had advanced; the system mall had a complete set of technologies prepared for migration to Alien Planets. If it were in the past, just the preparations for migration would have taken a lot of time and energy.
Not to mention being rapidly put to work.
“Yes,” Karla naturally accepted everything, behaving very docilely.
She had already seen the scenery outside; it looked like a city that had been abandoned.
Although it was also covered in snow, perhaps due to psychological effects, she always felt that this planet was filled with a vigorous and powerful vitality, starkly different from their planet that was on the verge of complete silence.
“And the Chosen Ones among you,” Shen Qian continued, “Within our civilization, all Chosen Ones are managed by the Chosen One Association. The same applies to you; the Association will assign you tasks based on your Talents and strength. However, according to the immigration laws, you can only earn half the contribution points, and failure will incur double the penalty.”
“Yes,” Karla did not have any objections, she even felt a bit grateful.
Even if it was only half, this was still a clear form of cultivation!
She was now aware that the God’s store went up to Level 18!
A Level 18 Mall!
For them, who had only reached Level 9 at most before, this level had surpassed their imaginations; any item would be incomparable to resources from the past.
They wouldn’t be carelessly abandoned, and with such cultivation available, for a group of people who had lost their own civilization, it was like a dream come true.
“Then let’s begin. The Trial still threatens us, and no one can afford to slack off.” Shen Qian ended with this statement.
The word “us” in his speech made Karl and the others feel somewhat excited.
Indeed, the Trial had not ended.
But at this moment, they possessed a confidence unparalleled to what they had before.
Thus, without a welcome party, a live broadcast, or even reception, one by one, the Siti people, wearing masks and injected with a high-efficiency mixed vaccine, were directly sent to various locations around the world in a state of tension and unease.
The Chosen Ones, including Karl and his group, were no exception.
Karla had initially planned to pay her respects to the great gods, but she wasn’t granted permission, because it was unnecessary. She was sent directly to a construction frontline along with Karl and several hundred of her own people.
“This is the new storm area; a Ghost King hiding here recently appeared with several hundred undead whose strength is not insignificant,” the person in charge explained the situation using a translation device, “The strength of the Ghost King is roughly around Level 8, and the rest of the undead are mainly above Level 5. Your mission is to patrol the construction site, and if you encounter any undead, you are to capture them alive! Remember, capture them alive, provided that the workers’ safety is ensured!”
The equipment meant for capturing ghosts had already been distributed to them.
It was not the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
Only Cultivators could use the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. The equipment now in use could be operated by most Chosen Ones.
Of course, they couldn’t capture too many, but it was already standard issue for the Chosen Ones of human civilization.
Karla had not anticipated that upon arriving here, she would truly be serving as a warrior.
This made her realize once again that her past identity was indeed a thing of the past.
“Your Majesty, please do not stray too far from me,” Al said with a slightly tense expression after hearing the level of the undead.
Of course, he was not scared, but rather worried that Karla might get hurt.
“No,” Karla shook her head firmly and said in a serious tone, “Call me clan leader. There is no ‘Your Majesty’ here anymore. Also, I am here now as a warrior!”
Yes, she was striving to adjust to her new identity.
At that moment, she also noticed several curious glances directed at her.
These gazes were filled with curiosity, pity, and not much malice; they did not crowd around but remained fully and tensely engaged in their tasks.
From now on, she was a Chosen One of human civilization!
Karla told herself in her heart.
However, what she did not know was that a photo of her at the construction site had been posted online and had received a large amount of attention in a short time.
Some people had already recognized her. This was none other than the Queen of the Siti Civilization!
“They’ve actually got the Queen working on a construction site.”
“So what if she’s a Queen? Now they are our workers.”
“I have to say though, after seeing so many photos of Siti people, she is the cutest one.”
“No kidding, those big eyes, just like sapphires!”
“We’ve also got Siti people here; they seem a bit timid.”
“Don’t bully them; they’ve been through enough. Their civilization is gone, and they’ve been abandoned by their Mother Planet.”
“Who dares? The Patrol Team will not let that pass. But I do want to have a chat.”
“You’re right. The translation devices already have the Siti people language pack.”
“Really? Let’s go, let’s try it out!”
“…”
Karla’s intuition wasn’t wrong; most humans were indeed curious about them.
Apart from the Blood Demon, this was humanity’s first peaceful encounter with another alien species!
Keep in mind, in the past, this was something that only existed in novels.
Now it had become a reality and was happening right before their eyes.
As soon as the lunch break arrived, a lot of people suddenly crowded around.
Al immediately became nervous.
“Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous,” the responsible person said with a smile, “Everyone is just a bit curious. It’s rest time now, just have a casual chat.”
“Yes, may I touch your ears?” a girl in her twenties asked Karla, her eyes shining, “They’re blue, just like the color of your eyes.”
“This…” Karla hesitated.
But this moment of hesitation made the girl quickly wave her hands, “If it’s offensive, then pretend I didn’t ask.”
“If it’s a girl, then there’s no problem,” Karla replied, slightly embarrassed, yet she still reached out, took the girl’s hand, and placed it on her head.
