Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 230 They gave so much.
Over time, the number of insects in the underground cavities gradually decreased.

Even though the swarm can replenish its numbers while fighting.

However, under the siege of hundreds of superhumans, they did not have time to quickly collect the corpses of other Zerg.

In just about an hour, the swarm of over 100,000 insects was completely suppressed.

The corpses of these Zerg filled the entire underground cavity, creating a rather spectacular sight.

However, for the players who participated in the siege against the insect swarm, this was just a small scene.

After suppressing the swarm, the next step is to collect the corpses of these Zerg.

The so-called recycling does not mean using the Zerg corpses as materials to forge weapons or for other purposes.

Instead, the goal is to return the corpses of these Zerg to the cycle of nature.

The moment those insects evolved into the Zerg, they had already broken free from the cycle of heaven and earth.

After that, they even swallowed a single stone.

This stone also broke free from the cycle of heaven and earth.

The birth of a Zergling, the swallowing of a rock—these are nothing.

However, the birth of countless Zerg and the devouring of countless planes are extremely fatal to the entire Crystal Wall System.

No matter how much trouble the creatures within the crystal wall system cause, as long as they don't exceed a certain limit, they won't cause any harm to heaven and earth.

But every increase in the size of the Zerg is a permanent loss to the world.

To make up for this loss, the Zerg must also be brought back into the cycle of nature.

Simply killing the Zerg is not enough to allow them to return to the natural world.

Specific rituals are required to successfully recover these Zerg corpses.

As the agency in Tiandu City specifically tasked with dealing with the Zerg, the Disaster Relief Bureau is naturally adept at using these specific rituals.

Under the influence of the ritual, the mountain of Zerg corpses visibly melted.

At the same time, all members of the Disaster Suppression Division who participated in suppressing the insectoids received a gift from heaven and earth, and their auras were strengthened.

New notifications have also appeared on the player's panel.

They received the same gifts from heaven and earth, but instead of leveling up, they gained more experience points.

Although it doesn't compare to the experience gained from directly killing Zerg, it's still an extra bonus.

Compared to regular players, Reverse Butterfly has an extra reward: the merit points gained from killing Zerg.

These merits can be directly exchanged for treasures in the treasury of Tiandu City, a privilege not available to ordinary players, and are an extra reward for the "Stabilizing Internal Troubles" quest.

However, the treasures in the treasury of Tiandu City are quite valuable, and the merits gained from this operation alone are not enough to exchange for anything good.

You still need to accumulate more merits before you can exchange them for useful items from the treasure vault.

After the ceremony, all the Zerg corpses were collected and returned to the cycle of heaven and earth. The group of Reverse Butterfly also left the ley lines and prepared to return to the Disaster Suppression Bureau.

Compared to the Zerg, the players, though also beings from outside the world, have game rules that supersede all the rules of the entire T09-3057 crystal wall system.

However, the players themselves did not break away from the normal cycle of nature like the Zerg.

The players are not native life forms of the T09-3057 crystal wall system, nor do they come to this world in their original form like the armies of various civilizations.

The player's existence is based on the game rules and the form that the entire T09-3057 crystal wall system provides to sustain it.

Maintaining the online activity of countless players is also a considerable burden for the entire T09-3057 crystal wall system.

But when players log off, their power returns to the world.

As long as a certain limit is not exceeded, the presence of players will not cause any harm to the world itself.

There were no unexpected incidents during the suppression of the insect swarm.

From departure to return to the Disaster Relief Headquarters, only a few hours had passed.

After all, it's a regular event that happens every few months.

For Tianducheng, it was like an ordinary person doing a simple cleaning in their own home; naturally, it wouldn't be difficult at all.

After returning to the Disaster Relief Headquarters to collect the mission rewards, plus the experience points gained from killing the Zerg,...

As she had predicted, Reverse Butterfly's level had increased to 26, just a little short of level 27.

If everything goes smoothly, and she participates in a few more missions like this, she can break through level 40 and become a second-tier transcendent.

However, if players want to maximize their strength, they certainly can't just focus on leveling up.

Otherwise, even if it is upgraded, it will still be a substandard product.

They might not even be able to defeat a Zerg of the same rank.

Players can only improve their level and rank through the game system, which is like breaking through out of thin air compared to normal people.

It doesn't rely on one's own insights and accumulated knowledge, giving people the impression of a weak foundation.

However, under normal circumstances, players of the same level are quite extraordinary within their respective extraordinary systems, and can even be considered top-tier.

After all, the ranks in the extraordinary system are just a relatively general description derived from the summaries of a large number of extraordinary individuals.

Although each of the major extraordinary systems has more than one mature training method, the different talents of different individuals will still result in their own differences.

There is no such thing as talent in this regard. For the same extraordinary profession, the changes brought about by each player's level and rank advancement are the same.

Furthermore, each player tier has a clear level division.

Each level of advancement brings corresponding changes, truly a step-by-step progression.

In this situation, the player's foundation is actually more solid than that of an ordinary superhuman.

Having a solid foundation far beyond that of ordinary people, one naturally needs corresponding methods to maximize one's potential.

Among the many factors that determine a player's combat power, their rank and level are the most important.

In addition, equipment can also greatly enhance a player's combat power.

The various skills that players possess are also key factors affecting combat power.

One's own rank and level can only be improved through the system, so there is no need to consider it too much.

External items such as equipment can be upgraded using experience points. You can directly upgrade some low-level equipment to high-level equipment, but it requires a lot of experience points.

For players like Reverse Butterfly, who have already established connections with the native factions, or those who have a certain influence within the player community, this part of the experience points can be saved.

As for one's own skill level, it can be improved by using real-world resources and those of the natives.

Alternatively, one can improve their skill level by relying on their own abilities if they have sufficient comprehension.

In reality, Ni Die is just an ordinary person who hopes to use his achievements in the game to support himself in the future.

There isn't yet any resource available to influence one's in-game self through real-world means.

As for the resources of the natives, elemental mages are not a mainstream transcendental system and are extremely rare in the entire capital city.

This is a type of extraordinary system that is inherently powerful but is limited by its environment. The extraordinary individuals within it are generally well-suited to this system, which is why they choose to take up the position regardless of the environmental influences.

The end result is that although the number of these extraordinary individuals is small, their quality is extremely high.

As far as Nidie knows, the elemental mages in Tiandu City, apart from those who have not yet grown up, are all at least high-level extraordinary beings.

With the resources she currently possesses, she cannot access beings of that level.

As for improving skill levels through one's own comprehension, that's even more hopeless.

If Ni Die had this level of understanding, she wouldn't be unable to become an extraordinary being in reality.

Before becoming a superhuman, players have a significant advantage in terms of skills.

After all, every player has mastered at least one extraordinary combat technique.

Even if they can't unleash the full power of their battle tactics, each player's strength will far surpass that of an ordinary person.

Some players can even possess extraordinary combat power before changing their class.

However, after becoming a superhuman, as their level and rank continue to rise...

The advantage in skills will gradually diminish, and may even become a weakness.

Since becoming an elemental mage, Reverse Butterfly has not improved her skills.

Previously, when dealing with the Zerg, I only used some basic skills that came with the breakthrough.

To maintain normal combat power development, you will definitely need to spend some experience points to upgrade your skill level.

Therefore, in the time that followed, Reverse Butterfly did not only focus on increasing her level, but also kept up with her skill level.

With Liu Yuan's support, Ni Die has no shortage of ways to gain experience points.

Every day is quite busy, with high-quality tasks being taken on.

These tasks were certainly not directly provided by Liu Yuan, since the task of the Disaster Relief Division was only to suppress the Zerg.

There wasn't much else to do, so naturally, there wasn't enough time to provide Reverse Butterfly with any high-quality tasks every day.

However, Liu Yuan was, after all, the head of a branch of the Disaster Relief Department. Although he was not in a high position overall, he had a lot of connections among the indigenous forces.

All factions are willing to issue a certain number of vouchers out of respect for high-level players, providing ordinary players with some high-quality tasks to gain experience.

As a local strongman, it was naturally easy for Liu Yuan to obtain similar credentials.

Although it would be impossible to receive the same level of care from Liu Yuan in other places.

However, with its own strength, Reverse Butterfly can still gain a lot of experience in each mission.

After changing jobs to become an elemental mage, less than half a month later, Reverse Butterfly's level broke through level 40, and she became a second-tier elemental mage.

This is what makes players so terrifying; given enough experience points, their strength can increase at a rate far exceeding what people can imagine.

Even a peerless genius wouldn't have such an exaggerated rate of improvement under normal circumstances.

Even with such a rapid pace of improvement, it can only be discussed during peacetime.

In wartime, they wouldn't even be on the list.

During the previous cataclysmic insect swarm, a large number of players started from level 1 and progressed all the way to the level of high-level players.

If the insect swarm hadn't been so short-lived, it would have been wiped out soon by the combined forces of the army that had descended upon this world, the players, and the natives.

It is entirely possible that a number of legendary players will emerge from among those high-level players.

Compared to these players, Reverse Butterfly's rate of improvement can even be considered conservative.

In addition to improving their own level, their skill levels have also kept pace, ensuring that their strength can be maximized.

As for equipment, with the support of Liu Yuan and the guild, it's also top-of-the-line.

If things continue to develop steadily like this, perhaps in just a few years, Reverse Butterfly could become a councilor among high-level players.

However, this peace did not last long. On the third day after becoming a second-tier elemental mage, news reached Ni Die.

"Our guild has been acquired?"

Looking at the guild leader in front of her, Ni Die's expression was somewhat surprised.

Before encountering Tianheng again and obtaining the Heavenly Capital Decree, Ni Die was just an ordinary player who had no contact with figures like guild leaders.

It wasn't until she revealed her connections among the natives of Tiandu City that some players in the guild obtained the Zhenzai Division's credentials.

She finally gained the guild's attention and even met the guild leader.

To her surprise, only half a month had passed, and when they met for the second time, they had already acquired the entire guild.

Reverse Butterfly's plan is to gradually increase its influence among players and natives.

The key is, of course, one's own strength, but corresponding methods and approaches are also indispensable.

Indigenous people with ideas, like Liu Yuan, can become her allies among the locals, helping her expand her influence within their territory.

As for influence among players, it can only be achieved through forces such as guilds.

Reverse Butterfly had no intention of establishing its own guild, which was no easy task.

This real-life game is a nationwide event within the All Souls Alliance.

Those who are able to establish their own guild in the early stages of the game usually have a certain foundation in real life.

For example, the guild leader in front of us, or rather the former guild leader, is a mid-level superhuman in reality, and also a heavyweight figure in the city where Reverse Butterfly lives.

That's why Reverse Butterfly joined the guild established by the other party.

However, the current Reverse Butterfly has no foundation in reality.

Based solely on his status as the leader, he might be able to thrive among the natives.

However, it may not work so well for players.

She won't be able to attract other players to join her until she has a real power base of her own in Tiandu City.

But Reverse Butterfly doesn't have this obsession. Why make things more difficult for herself when she can achieve her goal more easily?

Player guilds are inherently a loosely organized force, and the players within them can hardly be described as loyal.

There's no point in going through all that trouble to build a player guild.

However, the fact that all the guilds have been acquired caught Reverse Butterfly off guard.

The reputation I gained from providing credentials to guild members has lost most of its value since the guild was acquired.

"why?"

Looking at the former president in front of her, Nidie remained calm, without revealing any additional emotions.

The former president shook his head with a wry smile.

"They gave so much."
