Let Me Try That Talent
Su Luo took out the ball of light she had obtained from the top of the Tower, rubbed it a couple of times, and waited for the Machine Fortress to explain.
"That means you can directly teleport a ball of energy through the Dream World," the Machine Fortress said. "However, due to the rules of reality, the total time required is the time it takes for light to travel along a real-world path."
Su Luo nodded thoughtfully and decided to advance the research and development of the Light of the High Tower.
Although it can only transmit energy and has speed limitations... it can still be considered half a spatial ability.
The District War has been officially underway for an hour, and more than half a year has passed on Origin Star.
Qing Yunnan stood on a hill, looking down at the scene below.
The chosen Child of Civilizations was not far below the hill, leading a group of people to clear the ruins and prepare to establish a settlement.
The young man was intelligent and obedient, carrying out his instructions meticulously.
Qing Yunnan is very satisfied.
For the past six months, he has been diligently guiding this Child of Civilization, from the initial tribe to unifying several surrounding small tribes, and now to the construction of settlements, taking each step steadily.
According to the system's achievement tree, the next milestone is establishing the first settlement with over five hundred people. Five hundred people is enough to be considered a true settlement. Upon completion, there will be Civilization Points reward, which can be used to accelerate development.
By following the system's achievements, you will gain more Civilization Points Civilization Points, which can be used to intervene, accelerate development, and create a virtuous Cycle.
Qing Yunnan glanced at the panel.
His Child of Civilization now commands a population of... 472. A little short.
He gave final guidance on how to organize manpower, how to distribute food, and how to manage conflicts...
Then, regaining consciousness, he began to wander around.
I focused on the Scholar's Child of Civilization.
I don't know how scholars select and guide their children, but in Qingyunnan's view, his son of civilization, Mu Ri, thinks like a modern person.
They established a settlement in three months, completely unified the tribe in five months, and now control a settlement of over three thousand people, seemingly having established a city-state.
This means entering the first stage, the Bronze Age, which can be considered the formal establishment of a civilization, and you can choose civilization traits.
Qing Yunnan's consciousness landed on the upper reaches of the delta, and he carefully observed the city.
As far as the eye can see, there is a simple but orderly group of buildings.
The outermost perimeter is a simple wall built of wood and stones, inside which are densely packed houses and crisscrossing streets, where one can vaguely see figures moving about.
In the center of the city was an open space with a tall wooden pole standing in the middle. At the top of the pole hung a flag made of some kind of animal hide, with some symbols drawn on it in charcoal.
"A city-state hasn't been established yet," Qing Yunnan muttered to himself. "That's good."
He withdrew his gaze and turned to the farmland outside the city.
He wanted to steal some technology.
Although the Survivors cannot directly participate in combat, they can learn. With their strong mental Attributes, their basic learning speed is already ridiculously fast. Stealing some technology developed by the locals here is no problem for them.
Their farming techniques are very unique, unlike any farming method Mu Ri remember from Qing Yunnan.
That was a technology developed by the locals themselves, Mu Ri they are combining and improving it: taking into account the characteristics of annual forest Burn and the fact that the land in some places is fertile enough, they have developed a short-term "shifting cultivation" technology.
Qing Yunnan looked at it for a while and found that it was unusable. He then went to learn their early metallurgical techniques, compiled those techniques into a book, and went back to teach them to his Child of Civilization.
After stealing the technology, he sighed wearily.
After issuing a few more instructions to ensure that nothing unusual would happen in the next two months, he prepared to take a ten-minute break.
As his consciousness returned, he scanned the entire room.
The Scholar had his eyes closed, seemingly doing nothing, and Qing Yunnan also failed to find his consciousness projection on Origin Star.
Kundina, on the other hand, would occasionally take out her Skill Experience Stones and grind her skill levels there; it was unclear what she was doing doing that.
With so many Skill Books to use, God of Magic isn't easy.
The others... were all methodically guiding the Civilization Development. Surprisingly, they were all having a good time.
After all, before the District War started, no one could have imagined that development would begin with primitive tribes. In the early stages, there was simply no room for maneuver; all that could be done was to guide them patiently.
After touring Qing Yunnan discovered that a Forbidden Existence Yashan was thriving there.
It could even be said that their progress is similar to that of Scholar.
The race He chose were those mutant humans. The Child of Civilization was a boy who, through his own efforts and with Yashan's guidance, had become the Boss the tribe in the past six months. Recently, he began to integrate the surrounding tribes and prepare to establish a larger settlement.
He seemed very skilled at it.
"They don't know how long they've lived; it's their fate."
After understanding the situation, Qing Yunnan got down to business.
Copy Talent.
He is the [Mirror Sovereign], Talent allows him to Copy the Talents of other Survivors.
Of course, there are some limitations and costs. But after using it for so long, he's become very proficient at it.
"Based on past patterns, the greater the improvement in my current Talent, the greater the cost of Copy it..."
Qing Yunnan first used a Talent assessment on the entire field.
The one who paid the highest price was Beiximo, the red-haired girl, [Daoist Many-Spells].
Secondly, there's [God of Magic] Kundina, and then Guan Ziyang.
"These people's Talents have been the biggest asset to me..."
Let's continue watching Qing Yunnan.
Next up are [Food], Dora, Yashan, [Mist], and [Heavenly Fortune Bearer].
Among these people, there are Forbidden Existence. The Talent assessment will naturally test the Talent of the Survivor possessed by the Forbidden Existence.
Surprisingly, Scholar's Talent comes at the lowest cost.
In other words, his Talent offered the least improvement to Qing Yunnan.
After thinking for a moment, Qing Yunnan decided to Copy for fun, since the cost was small anyway.
He opened the Talent page and started using it. He could keep three permanent Talents, Talent he could select and use at any time.
Two of his permanent Talents come from two powerful Forbidden Class, which he particularly enjoys using. There's also an empty slot for testing new Talents.
He chose to Copy.
[Talent Copy: Learning Gains]
[Talent: Learning Gains:]
Benefit 1: Guaranteed minimum return during the learning process
Effect 2: Your concentration during study will significantly improve.
Qing Yunnan was taken aback for a moment.
He couldn't Copy the enhanced Talent, he could only Copy the original. But... what is this?
"Hiss... How can it be this kind of Talent? Well, that's normal. There's no combat power boost, it's a semi-development type. No wonder the cost is low... How did it become a top player?"
Qing Yunnan looked up, exchanged a glance with Su Luo, and then looked down again.
"Let's try it first..."
After playing for two minutes, Qing Yunnan felt that he couldn't quite master this Talent; it was a bit limiting.
"The learning speed is indeed high, but I thought I could learn anything... Turns out the subject has to be knowledge... Wouldn't it be better to let me learn some rules or something?"
Qing Yunnan had mistakenly thought it was the kind of person in the world of cultivation who could achieve enlightenment a thousand times faster and attain enlightenment in a single day, was somewhat disappointed and turned his attention to the others.
"You think you can play around with Daoist Many-Spells's Talent? But I can't afford the price..."
