A fact that is quite a hellish joke is that the United Nations, as the most authoritative and legitimate intergovernntal international organization globally, had an annual budget of just 3.7 billion US dollars before the arrival of the killing field, and it was often in arrears by the United States,
which felt less than MiHoYo’s... revenue.
The Global Supernatural Alliance GOC, theoretically a subordinate agency of the United Nations, was on par with the World Bank and the World Health Organization. However, everything changed with Michael’s sudden rise.
When the first batch of Transcendents reached Level 5, Michael was already at Level 10. When the main forces barely reached Level 10, she was Level 19.
The gap in power, along with the ideal belief in maintaining international peace, security, and developnt, attracted a large number of followers (including spies and agents) to join the GOC.
The snowball grew larger, and its authority quickly expanded. The supernatural research fund established by the GOC directly set up laboratories in the killing field entity, continuously turning killing field creations into academic papers and scientific research results, and then producing products through controlled enterprises.
For civilian use, there were anti-cancer drugs, gene therapy injections, chanical prosthetics, etc., while for military use, naturally, there were firearms and ammunition, Holy Water Peach Wood Swords, and the like.
In addition, GOC was also the largest real estate developer in the slums, and since the average player’s physique was like Captain Arica’s, capable of wall-penetration and seeing through walls, building materials had to be made with special concrete.
Incidentally, the GOC’s real estate company was nad Eternal Greatness, which could also be translated as "Hengda"...
Li Cheng shook his head, casting aside ssy thoughts.
With its abundant financial resources, the GOC could recruit global talents, thus producing highly professional and complete docuntation, especially for high-specification items such as the Nine-toothed Nail Rake and Ginsengfruit, each leading to hundreds of papers and experintal records—
This also explained why internationally renowned research institutions were willing to engage in academic cooperation with the GOC, as the latter was genuinely inclusive and open, willing to share valuable items for everyone’s convenience in writing papers.
"The atomic structure analysis of the Nine-toothed Nail Rake, the quantum tunneling effect of its size change chanism, the response chanism to specific sound wave commands..."
Li Cheng found reading the papers quite enjoyable. The Nine-toothed Nail Rake in the GOC’s stock did not originate from the original Journey to the West but was obtained by a player from a treasure chest. It was an Epic Item and required Spiritual Energy to drive.
The scientists of the Global Supernatural Alliance were quite bold and daring. They discovered that the Nine-toothed Nail Rake responded to specific sound wave commands, allowing its size to change,
so they partnered with the Evil Science Alliance to cultivate a batch of boar-like Sub-human Transcendent beings possessing Divine Wisdom and consciousness, approximately equivalent to Level 10 in strength,
dressing the Wild Boar n in the sa Qing Lan colored cloth as Zhu Bajie from the Journey to the West, and, using a brain-machine interface, implanting false consciousness, truly making the Wild Boar n believe they were Zhu Bajie demoted for harassing Chang’e.
As the boar-n gave voice commands in Tang Dynasty elegant accents, the Nine-toothed Nail Rake, after a mont’s hesitation, actually changed size by itself without consuming the user’s Spiritual Power.
Scientists could directly ascertain that the nail rake contained a type of concealed artificial intelligence dubbed "Artifact Spirit," adjusting its actions based on the person it’s interacting with.
By extension, Epic Quality and above extraordinary items might contain other traits besides the specified special effects from the killing field.
As for the follow-up experints on the Nine-toothed Nail Rake... the Artifact Spirit quickly realized that it wasn’t being wielded by Zhu Bajie but by a fake and defective creation, subsequently floating on its own and killing all the Wild Boar n, a few researchers who couldn’t escape the laboratory in ti, and two teams of ard security.
It was eventually suppressed and stopped by the high-level Transcendents who rushed to the scene.
Li Cheng had no need for the Nine-toothed Nail Rake, nor for Ginsengfruit—as the six-base geno’s self-healing capability was enough to effortlessly live thousands of years.
After nearly twelve hours of searching, he finally selected a rather special item from the GOC’s inventory.
It was a paper scroll asuring five ters by ten ters, with a blank design that would generate a map based on the surrounding terrain.
[Item Na: Ancient Long War Map]
[Type: Universal]
[Quality: Epic]
[Special Effect 1: Soldiers as Chess Pieces. Turns soldiers, vehicles, unmanned units, command centers, etc., belonging to oneself into chess pieces, integrating them into the map. When needed, unfold the map and place the chess pieces to deploy friendly units to designated positions.]
[Special Effect 2: Eternal Ga. Once the map is deployed, the user can receive real-ti information uploaded by each unit and issue commands through thought, controlling the actions of each unit on the map in real-ti. Passive effect.]
[Consumption: Single deploynt of the map consus no less than 200 Spiritual Power Value points, subsequent consumption depends on the strategic map’s area, number of units controlled, and duration of control.]
[Cooling Ti: None]
[Usage Requirent: Intellect Attribute greater than or equal to 20, complete high-difficulty challenges in ten real-ti strategy gas]
[Note: Units transford into chess pieces will be bound to the holder of the Ancient Long War Map. Upon the holder’s death, all units disappear unless they have exited the chess piece form for over a year.]
[Note: Warfare is of great concern to the state, the ground of death and life, the path of survival and extinction—should not be neglected.]
[Note: Once you’ve learned the operations, all that’s left is to F2, A all the way.]
"Hiss, can GOC actually permit the transfer of such strategic-level items?"
Li Cheng couldn’t help but click his tongue. This [Ancient Long War Map] was equivalent to a super high-capacity space compression tool a remote teleportation device a power projector an all-troop battlefield perceptual system an AI decision-making command structure.
The thod of modern warfare can be said to have been completely subverted.
Imagine this: An Asian tourist joins a tour group departing from Yin City, flies to the East Coast of the United States, and embarks on a ten-day journey visiting Boston, New York, Washington. Even while visiting the Lincoln morial, he is wearing a New York tourist hat on his head,
he suddenly flips out a map, drops war chess pieces, and summons two fully equipped modern heavy chanized brigades.
Tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, rocket launchers, missile launch vehicles, and air defense missile systems are all complete, even jets and scout planes that do not require an airport, submarines and cruisers in the water.
Overlooking the battlefield from a God’s-eye view, akin to having Heaven’s Eye open, all units move as if commanded by an arm, with minds connected,
directly capturing everyone from the Congress Hill, including the wealthy elites who ca for the conference.
"Starship Paratroopers, Ander’s Ga, Galaxy Hero Legend..."
Li Cheng’s mind flashes through a series of war-related literary works, and any military strategist would desire this magical artifact,
Zhuge Liang could use the Ancient Long War Map to campaign northward to Siberia, Napoleon could sweep across Europe reclaiming his place, Yang Guang... uh, let’s forget about this one, God Guang’s level of abstraction is about on par with High River Car God, Oirats International Student, and Principal Jiang sitting at the sa table.
"However, the GOC listed the Ancient Long War Map as available for transfer for a reason."
Li Cheng rubs his chin, Transcendents, especially High-level Transcendents, hold overwhelming advantages on modern battlefields.
No need to ntion suicide drones and rockets, even hypersonic missiles flying at Mach 5 cannot deal with Transcendents above Level 35 at all.
Either they cannot be locked on, or cannot be caught, or simply cannot be killed — the latter can simply teleport hundreds of ters underground, carrying missiles like playing,
Besides the instantaneous blast of mutual destruction nuclear bombs, only Transcendents of the sa level have varied ans to tackle High-level Transcendents.
It is precisely because of this rule that governnts globally, wealthy elites, would spare no expense to invest money nurturing their faction’s players, and even themselves and their relatives to beco players.
The Ancient Long War Map is useful, but a Level 40 won’t shake the world order much. After all, the note says, as long as the holder is killed, all chess pieces disappear altogether.
However, for Li Cheng, the Ancient Long War Map solves several major issues.
Firstly, the capacity of the Three-dinsional Warehouse can no longer accommodate the increasing number of Demon Cannon Tanks, and conveniently can store all tanks within the map.
Secondly, it’s about the deploynt and expansion speed of the tanks and command limits.
The tank firepower isn’t weak, equivalent to one hundred tanks of a heavy chanized brigade firing simultaneously, effectively threatening those high-level Transcendents like White Horse Tombstone and Blood Lion Roar.
But as the battle proceeds, with Transcendents moving at high speed and the battlefield continually shifting, the tanks can’t keep up with the movent speed of the Transcendents and are easily outrun.
Yet, the Ancient Long War Map can consu Spiritual Power to retract pieces, carrying the map to continually switch battlefields, providing consistent fire support.
anwhile, the map’s mind-command attribute can significantly expand the number and type of weapon platforms the Magic Cannon Master profession can control.
Even if the tanks are destroyed, it’s not a loss, after all, they’re twisted out of screws, and the scrap iron can be recycled,
my tank worth 50 Ga Coins is endless, while your Spiritual Power Value is constantly depleting.jpg
Michael is quite busy, so Li Cheng contacted Dr. Noah, "Hey, Arnold old pal, I’m aiming for the item on the list with serial number L-352, the Ancient Long War Map, can it be done or not."
??
You should either call Noah or Doctor, what does Arnold an.
Let ask you, let ask you, is the top of your head pointy or bald.
In the forum chat box, Dr. Noah pauses slightly, replying, "Since it’s sothing promised by Lord Michael, naturally there’s no issue. But, could I ask Mr. Pi Fu, how you plan to use the Ancient Long War Map?"
As ti passes, the impact of the London incident is slowly fading, but the hair of GOC personnel responsible for cleanup in London, once bald, truly won’t grow back.
Dr. Noah has heard agents below praying, hoping that unstable elents like Pi Fu wouldn’t stir up big trouble again.
The Wild Laughter Troupe at most goes big once a year, you’re even more impressive than the Wild Laughter Troupe.
"Purpose?"
Li Cheng thought for a mont, typed: "To open a cross-dinsional tour group, inviting dostic Warhamr players to fight in the Warhamr Universe, attracting Swordwind Chronicles readers to crusade against Griffith, and leading Cthulhu enthusiasts to fight Ancient God, roughly."
"..."
The ellipsis clearly conveys Noah’s mixed feelings, "In ten minutes, we will send personnel to deliver the item to the Star-casting Anvil, please check and receive it."
