Spectacle! Civilization Upgrade!

The update of a feature with hundreds of millions of functions comes at the cost of the creation of creatures and the Training Ground, as well as the disappearance of features that would appear at the level of hundreds of thousands.

Although Su Mo didn't say it aloud, he was already filled with anticipation.

Taking advantage of the situation in the wasteland, he quickly became the "leader" of a race and a powerful figure who shaped the fate of humanity on Earth.

The system recognizes this change.

Therefore, even if Su Mo didn't think about it, he could guess that the update of this function was either related to the human race or to the future development!

[Host Su Mo, the system update time is down to the last thirty seconds, please wait patiently.]

[Host: Su Mo]

While thinking about things, I waited patiently, and a few minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the countdown had already begun, Su Mo simply put down everything he was doing, plopped back down on the bed, and calmed his mind.

[Host Su Mo, the system update is complete. New features have been added. Please restart the panel to use them.]

This update involves a massive number of new features, affecting hundreds of millions of users. Please read the user manual for these new features provided by the system.

[The billion-level features have been successfully added. Creation, Training Ground, and Modification are all disabled and will be unlocked once the host's Survival Points are restored to over one hundred million.]

The method for earning daily points has changed. The new method will be suspended for one calendar day and will automatically resume after 48 hours.

As the four prompts appeared, Su Mo immediately stopped hesitating and silently restarted the panel.

A faint blue-green light flashed by, and as the loading progress bar reached 100%, a brand-new panel reappeared before Su Mo's eyes.

There are no other complex features; this panel only contains an oval-shaped upgrade icon.

Like a start button, above the oval, there are two smaller icons, representing the daily points acquisition and system email functions.

At this moment, seeing the email flashing with Golden Light, Su Mo didn't try to upgrade it. Instead, he clicked on it and started reading.

[Current Host Leadership Rating: 92% (Over 90% of humanity has confirmed your existence)]

[Because the host, Su Mo, became the spiritual leader of human civilization ahead of schedule, the system has implemented a leapfrog upgrade, awakening billions of functions ahead of time. However, this upgrade does not mean that the host's strength has reached the required level. Please do not relax your efforts to improve your strength.]

[The original name of this billion-level function was: Race. It involves numerous racial modifications and is extremely expensive. Considering that the host's current strength is not up to par, the system has made certain trade-offs and retained it.]

As the host's Survival Points increase to millions, tens of millions, or fifty million, this function will unlock other permissions to a certain extent, showcasing different usage methods.

[Current Usage: Civilization Upgrade]

[Note: Some aspects of the original upgrade method will be retained, but some aspects will be reduced. Please refer to the specific usage instructions for the new upgrade method.]

[Please follow the prompts and click the upgrade button to begin browsing the new upgrade features.]

The extremely humane prompt made Su Mo understand after glancing at the word "race".

He displayed his divine abilities several times before the public and became a spiritual leader of mankind. According to the system's assessment, he was moving too fast, like leaping.

But according to the normal course of events, without the good fortune to draw that east wind, and without the cooperation of alien gods, it would be impossible.

To truly win over 90% of humanity, you must...

It's as difficult as climbing to heaven!

Ironically, the best time to win over someone is actually in the early stages.

In the early stages of chaos, the survivors had not yet developed a firm concept of wasteland survival. At this point, they were easily swayed by even the smallest glimmer of hope.

But in the later stages, the remaining survivors were all seasoned veterans who had spent several years navigating the post-apocalyptic wasteland.

At this moment, their minds were resolute, and even offering them benefits could not completely convince them to fulfill these harsh conditions! After some thought, Su Mo realized that his actions were purely a matter of luck, and a sense of relief arose in his heart.

Following the system's prompts, Su Mo returned to the main panel. His mind materialized into a finger and he pressed heavily on the upgrade button in the center.

The next second, Zhang Quan new panel unfolds.

Similar to using the chat channel, the upgrade page now finally offers several different upgrade methods.

The most important thing is: item upgrades!

This upgrade retains the original upgrade function, and the usage method remains largely unchanged. As long as the host's mind is focused on items belonging to "Su Mo" or unclaimed items, the same upgrade method will be available.

Upgrade Method: Upgrade by spending Survival Points; provide the required materials to reduce Survival Points consumption.

As before, the basic upgrade functions remained unchanged. After scanning the system prompts, Su Mo quickly turned his attention to the second upgrade method.

"Civilization upgrade?"

With a soft "hmm, "Su Mo looked at the words "Civilization" before the upgrade and was slightly surprised.

Seeing that the system notification didn't pop up like the previous item upgrade, Su Mo had an idea and clicked on it directly.

The next second, seeing the new panel appear and the information displayed on it, before the system notification even appeared, Su Mo couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"

"No way???"

"Is this definitely not a Civilization game or Age of Empires?"

Looking at the information displayed on the panel, Su Mo, sitting on the small bed, was slightly bewildered!

At this moment, he recognized the text that appeared in the center of the panel; it clearly displayed four large characters:

Stone Age!

Below this period of time, he also clearly saw the conditions for upgrading.

1. Three types of stone weapon crafting techniques

2. Skilled techniques for opening up rocky caves

3. Completely abstain from raw food. 4. Population: 50. 5. Construct a stone statue at least 20 meters tall, with a precision error not exceeding 50 centimeters (spectacular requirement).

All five conditions are not difficult for humans at present.

Moreover, among these conditions, Su Mo has already seen the top four items, which are marked with a pleasing green "completed," indicating that the current conditions are completely met! The fifth item is not difficult either.

A 20-meter-tall statue can be erected on land in just one day.

As for the precision error of fifty centimeters, that's even simpler; even a child can perfectly control it within this range when drawing.

But these alone were not the source of Su Mo's surprise.

What truly astonished him was the jaw-dropping reward below!

[Host Su Mo, the new civilization upgrade method has been modified based on information you have browsed on Earth, including but not limited to games such as Civilization VI and Age of Empires. Please do not be surprised; this display is to help you better accept it.]

[In the civilization upgrade process, the host can lead their human forces to meet the system's requirements and thus increase the civilization's level.]

[Upon advancing your civilization's level, you will receive a complete set of Technology Tree data for that stage, and you can designate your subordinates to learn from it.]

[Note: Learning is not about micro-level reading, discussion, and research, but rather macro-level mastery. The time required will vary depending on the individual's prior technical skills and aptitude.]

[For example, it only takes twenty seconds to teach a craftsman with ten years of experience to make stone bowls, but it takes five minutes to teach someone who has never been exposed to this kind of knowledge.]

[Upon acquiring the knowledge, the human's mastery of the skill will be directly upgraded to the proficient level, and they will never forget it!]

Each piece of technological knowledge can provide humans with 3 learning opportunities per day.

[Note: Wonder buildings will provide attribute bonuses to the host's subordinates to a certain extent, including but not limited to physical fitness, comprehension, learning ability, stress resistance, etc.]

Boom! The system's calm and ordinary explanation seemed very commonplace, but at this moment, it was like a thunderclap in Su Mo's heart!

Just a few hours ago, he had studied several pages of development directions on paper, racking his brains about how to gradually advance the Technology Tree so that it wouldn't become a castle in the air.

A few hours later, the upgraded system gave him this huge surprise.

Once the conditions are met, the civilization level can be upgraded, allowing these survivors to quickly learn the basic Technology Tree, thereby promoting the technological development of the base.

In retrospect, the ordinary Stone Age was not particularly exciting.

Even after the upgrade, only three people can master the skill level of stone tool making and various primitive hunting abilities each day.

But just think about the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Copper Age, Dark Age, Age of Enlightenment, Steam Age, Atomic Age, and the most cutting-edge age for mankind... the Information Age!

You'll then realize just how overpowered this upgrade is! Once you meet the requirements and reach the Iron Age, three skilled blacksmiths will emerge in the shelter territory every day.

Every month, ninety blacksmiths will successfully graduate! And in the subsequent Steam Age and Atomic Age, thanks to system upgrades, it will be possible to mass-produce a batch of master blacksmiths who lack research capabilities but possess manufacturing skills! At that time, the territory will truly present a magnificent scene of diverse talents flourishing and progressing side by side! And the communication among the survivors within the territory will become:

What?! You just handcrafted Steam Engine today?! Holy crap, I only just mastered alternating current today! XX is amazing! I heard he already knows how to set up a complete communication network! Thinking this, a question suddenly flashed through Su Mo's mind, "Wait, what comes after the Information Age?"

The Information Age is followed by the Interstellar Age!

Just like humanity's previous development path, upon seeing the system's notification, Su Mo didn't hide it and instantly clenched his fist in excitement! Excellent, I love this upgrade! The system can tread paths that humanity hasn't explored on Earth! As for scientific research, I'm not good at that!

But building wonders and climbing the Technology Tree are exactly what every strategy enthusiast player excels at!

Having a path forward and a clear goal brings an overwhelming sense of happiness! And having this ability is truly wonderful.

Given time, when the survivors in the deep sea suddenly discover that the technology level of the depression has returned to the civilized era, New Continent is discovered where human cities rise from the ground, Su Mo couldn't help but reveal an uncontrollable smile when he thought of that shocking scene!

Click to return to the original page; only one upgrade option remains.

This item is called: Territory Upgrade.

Unfortunately, it's unclear whether the system detected that Su Mo was not in the territory or that he didn't have any territory at all.

This causes the function to be grayed out and cannot be used.

After trying several times and realizing that the system prompts wouldn't appear because the game was locked, Su Mo wasn't in a hurry and slowly closed the Game Panel.

The mountains and rivers seemed to block the way, but then a village appeared amidst the willows and flowers.

This upgrade undoubtedly broadened Su Mo's horizons like never before, making him clear about the path he should take in the New Continent.

"I'm not waiting any longer. I'll wait until tomorrow's game update, then I'll use the Ocean God Envoy Experience Card and see where this Ocean God is!"

"We must resolve this entanglement with the Ocean God as soon as possible and head to the New Continent!"

"Civilization upgrade! It finally gives me hope of returning to the Information Age!"

With a long sigh, Su Mo looked at the setting sun and felt no sadness whatsoever.

On a level unseen by everyone, a "rising sun" that belongs to him is already slowly rising in his heart!
