Chapter 234: Civilization Conqueror
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for winning the city defense battle!]
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for obtaining the item ‘Wang Luzong’s Relics!’]
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for obtaining the item ‘Gold Treasure Chest ×1!’]
“Gold Treasure Chest?!”
This truly surprised Luo Ji.
He had originally thought he would only get a Silver Treasure Chest for this battle, but he didn’t expect to earn a Gold Treasure Chest directly.
This made him ponder carefully.
Finally, Luo Ji came to a conclusion, he probably earned a ‘strategy score.’
First, the military strength difference between both sides wasn’t very obvious.
Under this premise, he almost entirely relied on tactical strategies, without losing a single soldier, achieving a complete annihilation of Wang Luzong with zero casualties.
This was likely the key to him getting a high score.
In summary, picking an opponent whose strength is not too different from yours, using tactical strategies, and eliminating them with zero casualties will earn you a high score.
Of course, it sounds easy, but the difficulty is quite significant.
How many years had it been since he last saw a Gold Treasure Chest?
Needless to say, his entire mood instantly brightened.
At the same time, the system’s notifications continued.
[System notification: Do you want to activate the ‘Civilization Conqueror’ skill?]
Hearing this notification, Luo Ji’s emotions calmed down slightly.
Besides the initial two automatic triggers, this was his first time actively activating this skill effect, so he felt a tiny bit nervous.
“Activate!”
[System notification: Activating the ‘Civilization Conqueror’ skill requires consuming 26 ‘Conquest Points.’ Do you confirm the consumption?]
The number from the system notification made Luo Ji’s eyelids twitch.
He had long known that the civilizations of Bronze-tier players wouldn’t be as cheap as those of unranked players.
However, what surprised him was that the price was much higher than he had anticipated!
This showed that Zhang Peng and Xiao Bingyi’s civilizations were truly ‘cheap goods’ in the system’s eyes!
This made Luo Ji feel a bit of heartache while anticipating the scale of this new civilization.
Conquest points were not easy to earn.
He had been so reckless when unranked, defeating so many players, and had only earned 29 points.
Was he about to spend almost all of them in one go?
Taking a deep breath, Luo Ji couldn’t help but glance at his points again, and upon seeing them, his expression froze.
“36 points?”
His original points were 29, but after this battle, they had become 36?
This meant that the conquest achievements of defeating the enemy army and killing the enemy leader earned him 7 conquest points?
The moment he realized this, Luo Ji’s flexible mind began to race.
In an instant, he fully comprehended, it turned out that different strengths of enemies yielded different conquest points?!
In other words, when he was unranked before, breaking through city gates, defeating enemy armies, and killing enemy leaders only earned him 1 conquest point each time because they were all utterly weak!
The system had no choice but to begrudgingly give him a basic point.
After all, splitting a point into two for such situations would be too outrageous.
Luo Ji’s mood was subtle as he realized this, then he quickly chose to confirm.
[System notification: ‘Civilization Conqueror’ skill effect has been activated…]
[System notification: The opposing civilization has 5 cities.
Do you want to consume 10 conquest points to confirm the locations of these 5 cities? If the player chooses to decline, the system will randomly select suitable locations to place these 5 cities.]
Previously, due to the default automatic mode, the placement locations were also randomly chosen by default, so he truly hadn’t known about this step.
Hearing this system notification, Luo Ji silently clutched his stomach.
“System, you know I only have 10 conquest points left, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”
[System notification: Player ‘Luo Ji’, please make a choice within 10 seconds. Exceeding the time limit will result in a default random selection.]
“Damn it!”
All that hard work for decades, only to return to square one in an instant!
Luo Ji, with a stomach ache, chose to confirm.
Since he knew he could manually choose the placement location, who would want the system to randomly choose?
System random selections were the most frustrating.
As Luo Ji made his decision, a large map interface immediately unfolded before his eyes.
That map was clearly the map of his world, and all his subordinate branch cities were specially marked on it.
Wang Luzong’s five cities were placed below, in what appeared to be an item bar, like five puzzle pieces.
However, Luo Ji soon discovered that his 10 conquest points were not spent in vain.
By simply tapping on one of the city’s puzzle pieces, information about its scale, construction, population, layout, and rare resources would instantly unfold before him, making everything clear at a glance.
This truly saved him a lot of trouble.
He quickly confirmed the information of all five cities.
Upon seeing Wang Luzong’s main city, Luo Ji involuntarily let out a disdainful “Eww,” his face completely undisguised in its disgust.
“Holy King City…”
Damn it, he might have been casual with names, but this person was utterly vulgar, not to mention the name evoked a sense of shame, like being publicly executed.
He couldn’t tolerate it.
At this moment, even Luo Ji, who suffered from naming difficulties, secretly vowed that he would definitely change the name of this city later!
However, putting aside the vulgar name, the scale of this main city was truly impressive.
It was indeed worthy of being a Bronze-tier player’s main city, larger than his Iron Wall Tribe by more than two full circles.
Most importantly, a circle of stone city walls had already been built.
This circle of city walls was extremely important.
In this tier, where repeating crossbows had already appeared in siege warfare, the defensive power of ancient city walls had become very limited.
They simply couldn’t withstand the attacks of those siege engines for long.
Massively constructing stone city walls had become an urgent matter.
However, the construction of stone city walls was very time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Even for a small city, building a circle of stone city walls would likely take 2 to 3 months, which was also a headache-inducing problem.
But now, it was good.
He could directly use the ‘Civilization Conqueror’ ability to place other players’ well-developed cities on the periphery of his entire territory, and then protect his branch cities that hadn’t yet upgraded their walls inside!
In other words, he would use those cities as outer defense lines.
