Chapter 80 National Design, the NPCs are all dumbfounded.
Chapter 80 National Design, the NPCs are all dumbfounded.
Chen You forced a smile and left the training room.
Hill, dressed in a white dress, maintained her perfect smile and bowed slightly.
"Congratulations, esteemed VIP member, your aura has undergone another qualitative leap."
Chen You walked straight past her without stopping, leaving only a faint remark.
"Hill, have you forgotten something?"
Hill's smile faltered slightly, then he took two steps forward, tilting his head.
A hint of just the right amount of confusion flickered in her azure eyes: "Dear VIP member, I don't understand what you mean."
Chen You frowned slightly.
As a high-level guiding NPC in the system, Hill should know what he needs to do next.
And what good is the Broken World Stone in my hand?
Is it just for decoration?
According to Li Guoan's conjecture, the other fragment systems should have proactively sent them out.
But I haven't seen it in the last two days, whether I've been trying to win prizes or playing the destruction mode!
He stopped, turned around, and looked at Hill calmly.
"How do we obtain the remaining Broken Worldstone?" he asked directly.
Hill blinked, seemingly deep in thought, before slowly speaking after a moment.
"The World Stone is a treasure of civilization, and its appearance is often accompanied by an intertwining of miracles and destiny."
"Perhaps it lies within a powerful enemy, or perhaps in a forgotten treasure chest; anything is possible."
"Of course," Hill added, changing the subject.
"Establishing a guild territory does not necessarily require a complete Worldstone."
"Even a single fragment, when embedded in the 'Foundation of Civilization,' can grant your territory unique characteristics."
"If more fragments can be collected in the future, they can be synthesized and replaced at any time, and its power will only become stronger and stronger."
It turned out to be the case.
Chen You nodded, seemingly accepting this explanation, but then suddenly changed the subject.
"However, we don't necessarily have to use it to create a guild. I can just collect all the fragments later, combine them into a complete set, and then use it, right?"
"That won't do."
Hill almost instinctively denied it.
"The power of the Worldstone can be replaced by a stronger power of the same origin, but it must never be added after the base is completed."
"The moment of creation is eternity."
Chen You stared at Hill's expression.
He then waved his hand, feigning annoyance, and said, "That sounds too troublesome. Maybe we shouldn't bother. Let's just create a guild and have some fun."
After saying that, he made a move to turn around and leave.
"Please wait a moment!"
Hill's voice came through.
Chen You stopped in his tracks and turned back with a look of "confusion".
Hill's ever-present perfect smile showed an extremely subtle stiffness.
In those deep eyes, a fleeting glimpse revealed undisguised...panic.
Although it only lasted for a moment, it was enough to explain everything.
The system, or rather, the will that Hill represents, strongly desires to use the Worldstone to establish a guild.
"Respected adventurer," Hill's voice returned to calm, but his speech quickened.
"The Worldstone can greatly enhance your territory, and depending on the fortune of your civilization, it can even evolve into unique miraculous properties."
"Giving it up would be an irreparable and enormous loss."
Chen You was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Is it really all benefits and no harm? Are there really no traps?
However, judging from the current situation, the system has indeed not been detrimental to itself or China.
He gave Hill a deep look.
"I'm starting a guild, will it fail?"
Hill remained silent for a moment.
"With your strength, and considering the precedents in the history of the Origin Realm, I believe you will not fail."
"understood."
Chen You didn't ask any more questions and simply logged off.
……
In the underground base, Chen You opened his eyes.
Li Guoan and several key experts were already waiting there.
Seeing the questioning look in Li Guoan's eyes, Chen You nodded solemnly.
"good!"
Li Guoan couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then handed over an exquisite long box made of sandalwood.
"Xiao Chen, these are the blueprints."
Chen You opened the wooden box, inside which lay ten white scrolls bound with gold thread, the ten blank design drafts he had brought with him.
But now, they are no longer blank.
It was said to be ten volumes, but when Chen You touched the first volume, a vast stream of data instantly flooded into his mind.
These are not ten blueprints.
Each volume, when unfolded, contains hundreds of 3D model drawings and a massive amount of data.
From the stress structure of the foundation to the material composition of the city wall.
From the blind spots of the arrow towers to the direction of the dragon vein along the central axis.
From the drainage system to the eaves of the city gate towers...
Chen You took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.
"I understand, Director Li."
"Go ahead." Li Guoan patted his shoulder, his voice steady and powerful. "We're all waiting for you."
Chen You closed his eyes again.
"Log in!"
……
Origin Realm, Zhaocheng.
Guild Management Office.
Unlike the bustling auction houses, this place seemed rather deserted.
Chen You walked straight to the deepest part and found the old man with white hair and beard, wearing a monocle—Bourne.
"Young man, what business do you need?" Byrne asked without looking up.
Chen You didn't say anything, but simply placed the ten volumes of design drafts on the counter.
Byrne's gaze fell on the design draft, initially somewhat casually, but soon his hand stopped wiping the lens.
He adjusted his glasses, picked up one of the scrolls, and probed it with his spiritual power.
The next second, an astonishing light suddenly burst forth from the murky eyes of this well-informed guild administrator.
"A masterpiece of nature...no, a miracle! It's a wonder born from the combination of mortal wisdom and divine power!"
Bourne held the design draft, his hands trembling slightly. His gaze toward Chen You was filled with awe and fervor.
"Such a magnificent design shouldn't just exist on paper!"
"It must be built! Let the whole world witness its magnificence!"
Chen You said calmly, "So, I'm here to establish a guild."
"Of course! Of course!"
With an excited wave of his hand, Bourne's counter in front of him instantly transformed, revealing two illusory stone bases radiating different lights.
[Civilization Foundation - Normal]: Price: 10 Gold. Used to hold guild design blueprints and construct territory projections.
[Civilization Foundation - Immortal]: Price: 100 Gold. Used to hold guild design blueprints and construct territory projections. It has special slots that can be inlaid with 'Worldstones' and can withstand more powerful energy impacts.
Chen You did not hesitate at all.
"I'll buy this." He pointed to the "Immortal Pedestal".
[Ding! You have obtained [Civilization Foundation - Immortal] x1!]
A stone base, identical to the phantom image, covered with ancient patterns and featuring a peculiar groove in the center, quietly appeared in Chen You's backpack.
Everything is ready.
Chen You didn't linger and logged off again.
……
The atmosphere in the underground base was heavier than ever before.
When Chen You opened his eyes again, he was greeted not by Li Guoan, but by a bodyguard in military uniform.
"Comrade Chen You, please come with me."
After passing through numerous checkpoints, they arrived at a secret hangar.
A sleek, all-gray-black private jet, without any markings, is quietly parked in the center of the hangar.
Li Guoan stood at the bottom of the gangway, dressed in a sharp Zhongshan suit, his expression solemn.
"Let's go, they've arrived."
When Chen You boarded the plane, he found that the cabin was already full of people.
He had seen most of these people in his previous laboratory.
Academician Liu Sicheng, Chief Engineer Zhang Bai, Professor Wang Qiuci, as well as Zhang Yunhai, Pan Yu, and others.
They didn't talk, or even look out the window; they just sat quietly.
The entire cabin was filled with an invisible, awe-inspiring, and solemn aura.
This was not an ordinary trip.
This is a civilizational expedition.
The magnificent pass, a product of the wisdom and strength of the Chinese nation, is about to be completed.
