Chapter 229
As the god of both Riku and Shuvi, the Game God wouldn't mind playing another game with them, but the Game God would never go easy on them in the game.
Even if Riku ultimately loses, if Riku can't beat the One God Tet in the game, can't he beat other races?
At that time, the treatment of the human race will still not be too bad.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Hiccup..." Chen Li couldn't help but say.
This Riku is someone special!
"Then let's begin now. I'm very curious about what it feels like to awaken the consciousness of civilization," Riku said expectantly.
Riku never doubted the potential of humankind.
Chen Li nodded, then took out the Miracle Card, "[Beacon Fires to Deceive the Feudal Lords]".
At this point, the amount of Civilization Value on this Miracle Card has reached a considerable level.
Because he witnessed Riku obtaining the Star Cup and the establishment of 10 covenants, and because Chen Li was mentored in this process, Chen Li gained a large amount of Civilization Value.
The process of awakening Collective Consciousness was not a grand spectacle, but rather a strange premonition among humanity throughout the world—that something big was about to happen.
"... It's all your fault. Who would have thought that the Collective Consciousness of the human race would be like a chess piece? Hiccup." Chen Li grabbed the Collective Consciousness the moment it appeared.
The Miracle Card [Beacon Fires to Deceive the Feudal Lords] grants Chen Li the ability to awaken Collective Consciousness and also gives Chen Li a special attack effect against Collective Consciousness.
"So what effect does it have?" Riku scratched his head, then took the chess piece symbolizing the king from Chen Li's hand.
"Level 5 Collective Consciousness can vaguely perceive the fluctuations in the surface consciousness of all individuals within a civilization; it has the ability to make preliminary predictions of trends over a 10-year time span; it can subtly guide small and medium-sized groups (tens of thousands of people) to reach a consensus; its early warning accuracy for major disasters is 75%; creators of civilizations, including but not limited to scientists, will have a higher probability of obtaining inexplicable inspiration; Gawain; it marks potential points of conflict within a civilization; it builds a crisis event handling suggestion database to prevent a civilization from repeatedly making the same mistakes... That's roughly it. There are some other details; you'll have to explore them yourself," Chen Li said.
The highest level of Collective Consciousness is the ninth level of Heaven's Will, second only to the consciousness of the world.
The Collective Consciousness of the world in Akame ga Kill!! is only at level two.
It wasn't that Chen Li didn't want to awaken a higher Collective Consciousness for the human race, but level five had almost exhausted all the Civilization Value Chen Li had gained this time.
"You forgot to burp," Tet reminded her.
"Belch."
"..."
Chen Li, realizing what had happened, became furious and embarrassed.
I had finally stopped hiccuping, and you reminded me again!
"Aha..." Sensing Chen Li's murderous gaze, Tet turned his gaze in another direction.
"Collective Consciousness has another use; it can indeed be used to forge Miraculous Item. Hiccup." Chen Li directly summoned the Miraculous Forging Platform.
Looking at the Miraculous Forging Platform and then at Tet next to it, Chen Li really wanted to squeeze him in as well.
Tet shifted his position and hid behind Riku.
It's just a reminder that you need to burp, right? Don't be so petty.
Chen Li threw the King chess piece, representing the Collective Consciousness of humanity, into the Miracle Fire, then picked up his hammer and began forging it.
Entry? No need for an entry.
Collective Consciousness is itself a "term".
After 10 minutes, the thing forged by the chess pieces formed by Collective Consciousness gradually took shape.
It was a black crown.
Ten minutes later, Chen Li took the successfully crafted crown out of the flames with his bare hands and tossed it to Riku.
"Collective Consciousness has a dictatorial model, but it requires absolutely brilliant leadership to prevent this model from becoming a weakness. I think you're perfect for it. hiccup"
Moreover, because it was burned by the Miracle Fire, it can also be considered a Miraculous Item.
"I'll give you 18 of these Divine Object of Abundance. I've already used the Judgment of All Things to trim this part, eliminating the side effects and reducing some of the effects. It's enough to extend the lifespan of the human race to 300 years, and also enhance their physical fitness and increase their self-healing ability. This is already the upper limit that the human race can withstand without mutating into the Celestial Race. Hiccup." Chen Li then tossed the top half of the Divine Object of Abundance, containing 18 ears of wheat, to Riku.
Chen Li could tell that Riku did not want the human race to become the Abundance People.
Otherwise, Riku could directly use the Star Cup to change the state of the human race.
"I'll invite you to visit the Xianzhou later. If you change your mind then, I can help you trim it back up. Hiccup."
"No need, this is already perfect," Riku said.
What's even more perfect is that in this game world, all disputes are resolved through gameplay, which gives humanity the opportunity to cultivate Gift of Abundance.
There will be no situation where the Divine Object of Abundance planted at the beginning are taken away by other races.
Moreover, with the Gift of Abundance reduced to this extent, it's unlikely that other races would risk so much to seize it.
Riku didn't want the Gift of Abundance to become a reason for humanity to be attacked.
"Don't be so absolute. Also, after you put on the Black Crown, your state will stagnate with the help of the Collective Consciousness, meaning you won't age. Hiccup."
"I will create Honkai Sphere Miraculous Item later, which you can distribute to humans if you are interested. Even if they are not used to capture other races, capturing some wild beasts will help the development of the human race."
"Tai He for capturing other races, but if you've defeated other races in the game and made them your vassals, you can use Poké Ball to provide them with shelter," Riku said, stroking his chin.
Since it's a game, there's bound to be a loser. If the loser is unwilling to admit defeat and gambles everything to play the game again, it's not impossible for them to lose it all.
"Whatever makes you happy. This is all the help I can offer you within the scope of cheating at the moment," Chen Li said.
"That's enough." Riku nodded.
"Let's govern the human kingdom well. Humans now possess the largest kingdom in the entire world, and most of this land belongs to the human race. Hiccup."
The reason for this is that, in the past year, under the guidance of Riku and his ghostly subordinates, all races except humans have left the territory in which humans are active, either voluntarily or involuntarily.
So when the alliance was announced and the land was demarcated, the human race got a great deal and occupied most of the territory on this continent.
"Don't worry. By the way, did creating this Miraculous Item grant you any Miracle Power?" Riku asked, tossing the crown around.
Since Chen Li provided so much help to Riku and changed his original fate, Riku was naturally very concerned about Chen Li's gains.
Chen Li only wants a little bit of Miracle Power, so why not grant it to him?
"Many." Chen Li nodded.
It's ridiculously high.
Although crafting the Black Crown doesn't require any special attributes, it does require the Miracle Fire to burn, so it cost Chen Li 2 Crystal.
However, the return was an astonishing 132 Crystal. That's over 50 times the initial investment.
That's outrageous.
In addition to the 20 Crystal Chen Li obtained by helping Riku win the Eternal War, and the 25 Crystal that came with the Miracle Card after "consuming" the world, Chen Li was already approaching a level of financial freedom.
The current Crystal balance is 273.
The benefits of Starstones are greater, totaling over 3000 Starstones, with a balance of 18833.
[Scamming for Food and Drinks] (Miracle Card): In this world, you're either Scamming for Food and Drinks and Scamming for Food and Drinks, or on your way to doing so, you little glutton.
Effect 1: Gourmet - You will gain an eye for discovering delicious food, and when you eat a variety of unique foods, there is a chance to obtain special recipes. Food made with these special recipes will have random special effects. (The rarer the food you eat, the higher the probability of obtaining a special recipe.)
Effect 2: The Worldly Greedy One – When you show appetite for something, you can establish a "supply contract" with that thing by consuming a part of it. When the other party cannot satisfy your appetite or refuses to provide for you, you will be judged by the world as having an "unreasonable existence" and will be rejected at the level of causality, commonly known as having great misfortune.
P. S.: Heaven creates all things to nourish man, yet man has nothing to repay Heaven with. Having consumed the world, you are now the world! You refuse to nourish me? Then you're in for a world of trouble!
Effect 3: Can be used to forge Miraculous Item.
[Gluttony and greed... I forgot the beginning, I forgot the end, but it was all so funny!]
"..."
This Miracle Card's effect... is quite unique. Especially the formation of effect 2, which seems to be related to how One-star Artifact can become delicious after consuming a delicious food.
But Chen Li felt that this record seemed biased.
What do you mean by "I'm either Scamming for Food and Drinks or on my way to Scamming for Food and Drinks"?
Slander! Slander!
Belch.
"Then I'm relieved." Riku breathed a sigh of relief.
For people with a conscience, receiving too much help can put a lot of pressure on them.
"I 'Extraction the Star Cup's entry and then return it to you." Chen Li tossed the Star Cup into the Miraculous Forging Platform that hadn't yet been retrieved.
The Star Cup seemed to intend to resist, but the moment the Miracle Fire engulfed its entire body, it fell silent again in Chen Li's hands.
Countless entries slowly emerged on the star monument, the most dazzling of which was naturally [Omniscient and Omnipotent].
But this was not Chen Li's goal. The Black Grail that Chen Li obtained contained the entry for omniscience and omnipotence.
While omniscience and omnipotence are certainly enviable, the logic behind creating Miraculous Item and using Miraculous Item is different.
The Miraculous Item are mostly war gods with special skills.
He can score 200 points on a test paper with a score of 100.
It is not impossible to forge an omniscient and omnipotent Miraculous Item, which can enable the user to get 100 points in every subject.
In other words, every Miraculous Item that can score 200 points can suppress the omniscient and omnipotent Miraculous Item in some way.
If you want an omniscient and omnipotent Miraculous Item to score 200 points in every subject, you need to consume more Crystal, but it can still be crushed in some aspects by Miraculous Item that can score 300 points.
There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.
Chen Li, who suffers from paranoia and a fear of insufficient firepower, is not satisfied with being omniscient and omnipotent.
Moreover... not even one of these Miraculous Item could be divided.
War, Prayer, Temptation, Stellaron, Dream...
Countless entries with decent brightness emerged from the Star Cup.
As a supreme object that has existed for hundreds of millions of years and triggered an eternal war that lasted for 6,000 years, the Star Cup can be considered an absolute ancient artifact.
The above entries are numerous, and these are all meanings that the Star Cup has been given by the outside world over time. Its core entry is only "Omniscient and Omnipotent".
After selecting the entries he wanted from the dazzling array of terms, Chen Li took out the Star Cup, tossed it back to Riku, and Riku then handed it to Tet, the Game God.
"There are too many entries to Extraction them all. We'll have to borrow some more when needed," Chen Li said.
Chen Li Extraction 10 terms.
Although Chen Li wanted to collect all the entries, Chen Li didn't have that many Crystal.
"Hiccup." Tet nodded.
"You bastard... hiccup." Chen Li was utterly dejected.
"Chen Li." Shuvi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke up.
"What's wrong?"
"Can I be infected with that Machine Spirit Virus you mentioned?" Shuvi asked, raising her hand.
"Ex Machina Race do you need? Hiccup."
"No, it's just that I need it."
"... I won't ask you why, but anyway, it's fine." Chen Li nodded.
Although I don't know why Shuvi wants this Machine Spirit Virus, it's perfectly fine.
Chen Li didn't want to ask, nor did he want to care.
But it couldn't possibly be for Se Se, could it?
As far as Chen Li knew, Ex Machina Race could modify their own structures; as long as their structure was known, they could alter themselves. However, the reason why Shuvi couldn't have a nightlife even after marrying Riku was because Shuvi 'Riku only acquaintance, Kloni, was too ashamed of. Therefore Shuvi didn't delve into this matter.
Infecting the Machine Spirit Virus is not complicated. All you need to do is have Shuvi bind a Friends Circle Terminal, and then have the Little Herta send Shuvi a virus file privately.
Although the Little Herta's Machine Spirit Virus lost its transmissibility due to the Extract Attribute, it is a highly priority Miraculous Item for spreading in Friends Circle.
"Riku." Shuvi suddenly hugged Riku.
"What's wrong?"
"Boys should protect themselves when they go out, and be careful not to be deceived by other Ex Machina Race."
Riku can only be possessed by the strong!
"???"
Hearing this, Chen Li roughly understood why Shuvi wanted the Machine Spirit Virus; it was because she wanted to become more free and powerful.
