Chapter 78: Use of the Stones of Civilization

[Extraordinary Rank-2 Civilization Stone. You can use Honor Points and the light from providence in the settlement to convert it into an item of the same level!]

In the shrine that had just leveled up, Ji Ye held a Stone of Civilization dropped by a Soul beta player and took in the information in his head.

Transforming the Stone of Civilization into an item was not troublesome. It was unlike the Soul of Civilization that required offerings.

In fact, theoretically, as long as it was something that truly existed in the world that he came from, the grade of the Stone of Civilization, his Honor, and the power of providence in his settlement would fulfill the requirements.

Then, he could convert something out.

For example, a Desert Eagle, a Hummer, or a Raptor fighter plane!

Or items related to the settlement’s background.

For example, Yang Zhi, who was the third leader of Twin Dragon Mount, had a sharp and clean ancestral blade that was sold in the capital.

He could even convert some items that had nothing to do with his settlement under special conditions.

For example: Heavenly Sword[1], Devil Fruits[2], Iron Man armor, Earth Engine[3], Pillar that Pacifies the Oceans[4]!

Of course, the Honor and power of providence needed for the last category was probably not enough, even if all the present human settlements were combined.

Furthermore, even if he satisfied the requirements, converting for these overly powerful items might not be the best choice.

This was because the power of providence in the settlement would be consumed during this process. Although this expenditure didn’t cause the settlement to be demoted, it would cause the settlement to lose the ability to defend with the power of providence.

When that happened, perhaps an enemy expert could directly invade the settlement and seize the settlement core!

“So that’s how it is… I was planning to get the settlement to convert a sniper rifle so that we can snipe the Eagle Commander from a distance.”

“However, I don’t think we satisfy the conditions. Can I apply to convert a box of bullets?” Li Qing said.

He had to expend a lot of EXP in his deduction to master a revolver, but five bullets were quickly emptied in the battle against the Soul race.

“I want a computer, but clearly, we don’t have the necessary conditions.”

“Why don’t we think of a way to get a generator? Electricity is the foundation of modernization, right?”

Shang Yan spoke.

As a modern person, she was not used to Twin Dragon Mount’s lifestyle, especially when she and Su Nongying were now in charge of logistics. Having a computer could easily record information!

However, the level of the Stone of Civilization required to convert a computer was definitely not inferior to a sniper rifle.

Even with the existence of a Stone of Civilization, Twin Dragon Mount would not be able to quickly modernize itself.

“Master, why don’t you convert some uranium for me to research?”

Elder Jiao suddenly said with a smile.

“Elder Jiao? You even know how to make a nuclear bomb!?”

Upon hearing this, several people were stunned before their faces lit up.

“I was just joking. Nuclear weapons involve skill and manufacturing procedures. It’s far from something that can be completed by converting a few Stones of Civilization. Furthermore, if we really want to hold on to super weapons, we might be destroyed by aliens before we succeed.”

“The reason why I said that is to provide everyone with an idea. We don’t necessarily need an Extraordinary product. We can choose to convert out some of our own Ordinary materials and then create items at the Extraordinary from them!”

“For example, if it’s a firearm, we don’t need a complete conversion… We can convert the cartridge, barrel, and body individually…” Elder Jiao shook his head and said solemnly.

A complete firearm was an Extraordinary weapon.

However, just like the chainsaw without any electrical power that Big Bear had dropped, it was only considered an Extraordinary Rank-0 item, a completely dismantled gun clearly could not be classified as an Extraordinary.

However, speaking of which, firearms of too low a level might not be useful in the Land of Inheritance because there were various extraordinary powers here.

In fact, once some Ordinary aliens reached Rank-8 or 9, the destructive power and effective distance of the arrows shot from their bows were above that of ordinary firearms.

This was also the reason why Li Qing suggested getting a sniper rifle.

“My suggestion is to selectively exchange for special materials and equipment that cannot be obtained from Twin Dragon Mount while not adversely affecting the light from providence on the settlement. Then, we make a production of them and try to obtain a few Extraordinary items.”

It had to be said that Elder Jiao’s words instantly got everyone’s creative juices flowing.

This was especially so when his starter equipment was a “3D printer” from a technological civilization. He could print all kinds of basic materials.

There were really a lot of things they could do with this!

“How about converting some sulfur? We can get some nitre in the fort. After producing gunpowder, we can get some lousy grenades…”

“I think we can use water power to generate electricity. The water flow in the waterfall on the mountain is still good. As long as we convert two key components, the rest can be printed out…”

“What do you think about converting a drone to scout the enemy’s situation…”

Ji Ye felt rather relaxed as he watched the enthusiastic discussion.

It seemed that he did not need to worry too much about the development of “technology” in the base!

However, Elder Jiao’s words undoubtedly provided him with an idea.

Although he did not have a 3D printer, he had the Fusion skill. He could also use ordinary items to produce an Extraordinary item through fusion.

Although the restriction said “two”, the previous attempts clearly proved that anything that could be regarded as one item could actually be “fused” together.

It could be said that if necessary, he could actually “mass produce” a batch of items.

This could also be considered one of the foundations of Twin Dragon Mount.

…

It was worth mentioning that on the second day after Twin Dragon Mount’s leveling up,

another beam of light that represented providence shot into the sky, turning into a pale-blue eagle-like creature that soared in the sky. Its eagle eyes were like swords as it looked around!

It came from the position of the Eagle Men on the other side of the cliff.

This also explained why the scouts from Twin Dragon Mount had not seen the Eagle Man for so many days.

Obviously, they had launched an attack on another alien race and did not have the spare energy to monitor the humans.

Although the Eagle Man had also successfully advanced, the people of Twin Dragon Mount were not too worried.

This was because they knew how quickly the village’s strength could increase after winning a species battle.

With the Eagle Men’s intelligence, it was impossible for them to immediately attack the humans.

After all, compared to the humans who had advanced to the Rank-2 settlement earlier, the other Rank-1 aliens were the ones that were most suitable for them to harvest.
