"It’s too chaotic..." Zheng Yichen looked at the information on the internet. In just a few days, Hazy City had beco completely disordered. The dramatic environntal changes had impacted every aspect.
Moreover, the magnitude of equilibrium in this World Cup event is high. If when Zheng Yichen ca back the environntal intensity was at Level 3, now it has reached Level 4.
An increase of two levels in less than a month?
The local technological power hasn’t developed that quickly, new monsters may appear at any ti, and people with special powers need more ti to go from possessing to mastering those powers.
As the efficacy of technology-based weapons gradually decreases, the advantage humans have begins to wane.
Many military patrols can be seen on the streets, and the worst part is the environntal changes have also brought many new Phenona to Hazy City.
Previously, because of the low environntal level here, those Phenona would avoid coming directly. Now it’s different; the environnt has strengthened, but the technology hasn’t updated to anything more powerful.
Occasionally, attacks from the other side of the Phenona boom through, no longer just weakened attacks. With the environntal strength at Level 4, so attacks can cause imnse destruction.
Just yesterday, a Phenonon appeared near his residence, and sothing extrely dangerous on the other side delivered a powerful attack directly at his area.
Furious, Zheng Yichen didn’t utter a second word and imdiately rushed over to completely annihilate the troublemaker on the other side.
After the environnt was balanced to Level 4, the rate of intensification began to slow down, but with such a sudden increase, whether it slows down or not doesn’t really matter anymore.
Unless the technology can breakthrough rapidly in a short ti, the native humans can’t expect to regain much of their advantage.
Looking at just an increase of two levels, but this kind of promotion has brought a difference that’s tens of tis bigger.
In such an environnt, he could kill countless versions of himself from a Level 2 environnt.
"This is just the beginning, the intensity of mutations is increasing, and Hazy City will beco even more chaotic," Ahn Ke said standing next to Zheng Yichen.
She had studied so of the newly erged aberrant creatures, and the results were very bad. The strength of these aberrant creatures could easily ignore many conventional weapon attacks.
Heavy firepower also struggles to pose a direct threat, only more powerful missiles and such can still be effective. However, as these aberrant creatures continue to strengthen, such weapons will soon beco useless.
The standard for technologically based weapons in this world is still set by the original environntal strength of Hazy City; nuclear weapons are still very effective, but against aberrant creatures in a higher environnt, it will cause so creatures to mutate further.
For soone like Zheng Yichen, who is in a Level 4 strength environnt, nuclear weapons and the like can already be ignored.
Even though many strong individuals have now appeared in Hazy City, and the presence of Dusk rcenaries has made it relatively stable, this place is still Hazy City, the location with the highest mutation rate in the world.
If not for these beings, Hazy City would have fallen long ago.
Zheng Yichen himself has gone out hunting many tis, but these actions can only delay the inevitable downfall.
Survival has beco very difficult for ordinary people here; mutated creatures like hardened-skinned rats are no longer sothing ordinary people can handle. Their hardened fur can block bullets from regular firearms, and these are just normal rats.
"In a high strength environnt, materials also gain corresponding strength or so new characteristics," Zheng Yichen said as he took out a piece of tal.
The change in the environnt has caused so materials in this world to change as well, but the problem is that this change is even slower!
The quickest changes, and the fastest enhancent, occur in aberrant creatures. Subsequent changes are quite fair. Humans and common animals change almost at the sa level, plants change at a slower rate than humans and animals.
Minerals and such change even slower.
It will take decades, if not hundreds of years, to catch up with the environntal changes unless so new mineral erges during this ti. Only a new mineral that is synchronized with the environnt from the beginning can match up.
"Too slow," Ahn Ke shook her head.
"So I’m planning to use so other thods," Zheng Yichen smiled. "The enhancent of the environnt can make so operations easier."
"Is there anything I can help with?"
Zheng Yichen shook his head, Ahn Ke couldn’t help with this matter. Each has their expertise; Ahn Ke’s research could save Zheng Yichen a lot of rit points, but when it cos to magic, there’s only so much she could do.
He plans to take out a segnt of the World Tree’s prival branch and leaves, making it into the core of a magic array formation, then deploy a super-large Barrier capable of covering Hazy City.
This Barrier won’t eliminate Phenona, but it can suppress the mutating factors. As long as the mutations don’t proceed so intensely, Long Chen’s side will quickly stabilize.
As for other places, they’re actually better off. Other places don’t have the kind of environnt Hazy City has; many factors can be controlled.
Zheng Yichen is surrounded by talented individuals skilled in crafting items and magic, including two super AIs that have recorded extensive magical knowledge.
All these factors combined make Zheng Yichen’s plan entirely feasible, and there is even no need to incur extra expenses at the Dusk Cathedral.
"However, I have never worked with this type of material before, I might not do it well, but I can provide a sample," Lillian said with a slight headache as she looked at the materials Zheng Yichen had taken out.
In her native world, creating a protective barrier large enough to cover an entire city wasn’t difficult.
But this world is far different from her native one, even with environntal enhancents and the lifting of so restrictions, there remains a significant gap.
In such a disparity, the fact that Zheng Yichen presented high-quality materials for her to handle made it sowhat difficult for her.
"A sample will do, let’s start by making a finished product from the next best alternative material."
"Ha, then there’s no problem," Lillian imdiately committed to this task, and the relevant design work followed.
Nelliwey is skilled in nurous magics, and both Katrina’s Blessing Magic and Eileena’s Curse magic could be utilized, even Lillian’s plan included a new operation.
Let Eileena summon a bunch of ’Natural Guardians’ through necromantic skill, as after all, Zheng Yichen provided a branch from the World Tree. Although it wasn’t a primordial tree branch, it still possessed potent effects.
Looking at the design Lillian presented, Zheng Yichen inadvertently rubbed his chin, wondering why it looked like a Soul Attracting Banner?
"Soul Attracting Banner? What’s that? This is a flag," Lillian rolled her eyes at Zheng Yichen: "Since it’s ant for range guarding, making it into a flag seems appropriate, right? Plus, it can be used as a weapon when rolled up."
"If it’s a flag, then let it be a flag. As long as you think the effect is feasible, that’s fine by ," Zheng Yichen waved his hand, leaving it to the professionals.
Natural Guardians, after all, are about using necromantic skills to summon suitable souls and fuse them with plants, transforming them into treant-like beings for battle.
The convenience here is that as long as there are plants around, Natural Guardians can be summoned, which can be seen as a form of unique full-map support.
Zheng Yichen could do this too, where casting Hellfire would achieve the necessary operation, although Hellfire is admittedly a bit scary-looking.
"Then let’s start by making a prototype."
With Zheng Yichen’s approval, Lillian imdiately started working, assisted by two super AIs, which she found rather novel.
However, given the special materials used, creating the final product would still take so ti.
Zheng Yichen made a trip to Dusk; things here had returned to the status quo, with nurous Dusk rcenaries discussing matters; they hadn’t given up on their native worlds.
Even though this world has been balanced, any disaster is a matter for the distant future, not to ntion that in this world, they can now exert stronger powers, which is beneficial for them.
The issue is, beneficial as it may be, it’s chaotic if the native world becos a ss. At first, they could easily solve so troubles, but with the increasing strength of Aberrant creatures, they are now sowhat overwheld.
In their native world, they still have families and don’t want to see Hazy City being overrun, thus they have gathered here to ponder over possible solutions.
Zheng Yichen has already seen part of the strategies they discussed. There are several unique areas in Hazy City, created by the Dusk rcenaries.
But, those can only protect a small portion of the area. If there were more Dusk rcenaries in this world, connecting large and small protected areas might cover the entire Hazy City.
The environnt in Hazy City, however... re protection is not enough, it can’t suppress those Aberrant creatures, and the protected zones could be breached, failing to completely solve the problem.
Moreover, that kind of protection requires sufficient strength to maintain.
Zheng Yichen ca to the Storage Cabinet, pulling out the ’report’ inside it. Not much ti had passed, and there was little progress on Chiang Wei’s side; Du Gang had just replied to Zheng Yichen.
Regarding the situation on Zheng Yichen’s side, Du Gang didn’t have any solutions either, having been raided by scrub player of the Equilibrium Faction, what else could be done?
If possible, Du Gang would indeed love to get revenge on the Equilibrists who had tricked him previously, but being a Proxy Agent for a long ti, he hadn’t received any related news.
There are too many worlds, plus the Equilibrium Faction isn’t focused on directly destroying worlds; once they succeed, it ans the world has been balanced and Dusk won’t arrange any Proxy Agents to go there.
Now, by aiding Zheng Yichen, at most he could handle so Aberrant creatures, which doesn’t help with the chaos caused in Zheng Yichen’s native world.
However, Du Gang did provide Zheng Yichen with several special cultivation thods.
Not anything extrely powerful, but suitable for the common people to lay a foundation, enhance their base and gain a degree of combat capability, which won’t conflict with switching to other cultivation thods later.
