Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

The next step is the construction of permanent buildings.

Chu Yang obtained a total of four permanent buildings this time: [Rune Research Institute - Gold], [Extreme Battle Room - Gold], [Flesh Furnace - Gold], and [Devil Altar - Gold].

A few minutes later, four new buildings of different styles appeared in Chu Yang's personal space.

The first building was constructed of gray-white bone stone, its surface covered with naturally formed spiral patterns. Its towering spire leaned crookedly toward the sky, with a constantly rotating, dark blue rune core suspended at its top.

This building is the [Rune Research Institute - Gold].

The current effect of this building is: it generates one rune technology blueprint every seven days, with the blueprint quality being purple or lower.

The Rune Research Institute requires Human Race Contribution Points to research rune technology blueprints.

The current consumption is 100 points per day. When Chu Yang agreed to consume human race contribution points, a blueprint research progress bar appeared [0/168h].

By equipping them with rune researchers, the speed and quality of researching rune technology blueprints can be improved.

Rune researchers are not found among the Earth's human race, so Chu Yang needs to capture rune researchers from among the alien races.

The second building is a transparent semi-circular structure containing several devices resembling hibernation pods.

This is the [Extreme Battle Room], which can generate a virtual battle space when used outside of combat.

Both the arena and the opponent within the battle space can be customized.

The custom opponent must have actually fought against Chu Yang.

For example, Chu Yang encountered three different gods, but the one that existed within Xiao Cao's soul and the one that challenged the ultimate speed challenge could not be customized.

However, the god that Chu Yang encountered in the extreme survival challenge could...

Using the [Extreme Battle Room] also requires consuming Human Race Contribution Points; 100 points per person per hour.

The third building is a living structure that is constantly "breathing".

The outer wall is composed of pulsating dark red muscle tissue and translucent fascia, covered with slippery mucus, and occasionally it twitches and contracts, squeezing out a purulent liquid.

The massive rib-like structure arches from both sides, intertwining at the top to form a dome, with the orange-red light of the internal furnace shining through the gaps.

The entrance consists of two constantly opening and closing fleshy membranes covered with serrated teeth, like the throat of a giant beast.

This is the [Flesh and Blood Furnace - Gold].

When the building was completed, Chu Yang gained the ability to summon the [Flesh Furnace] to devour the surrounding corpses.

This ability is convenient for disposing of corpses.

After consuming a corpse, the [Flesh Furnace] will gain [Flesh Value]. Consuming Flesh Value can generate Flesh Monsters.

Like the Rune Lab, the Flesh Furnace can also be equipped with a Meat Weaver.

The Flesh Weaver can extract the abilities from the corpse to create flesh monsters, whose appearance can also be customized.

In addition, generating flesh monsters also requires consuming human contribution points.

The consumption amount is related to the grade of the flesh and blood monster.

The fourth building is a strangely shaped altar.

The main body of the altar is a huge, porous black volcanic rock, covered with dark purple crystals resembling dried blood scabs.

At the top of the rock are three twisted bone pillars that look like withered claws. Above each pillar is a suspended eyeball that drips black oil, a beating heart, and an ever-burning eerie green flame.

The altar was surrounded by twelve faceless stone statues, their postures somewhere between kneeling and struggling. A viscous black substance seeped from the cracks in the stone, forming a strange array of runes on the ground.

This is the [Devil's Altar - Gold].

The Devil's Altar allows you to sacrifice lower-grade items to obtain higher-grade items.

This was the only way Chu Yang knew, besides his [Chosen Relic] talent, to obtain red mythical items.

It should be noted that the items here cannot be living things or permanent items.

We'll discuss the specific rules when we need them; we won't go into them here.

All four permanent buildings mentioned above, except for the [Devil's Altar], require human contribution points.

This made Chu Yang, who still had 3 human contribution points left, feel a sense of urgency again.

Because there are more and more places where he needs to spend human contribution points.

For example, he will need to spend human contribution points to repair the small world next.

Within the BOSS gate, Azi devoured five small worlds.

In order for Azi to use any of the areas within these five small worlds, she needs to repair them first.

Finally, Chu Yang spent 1.5 human contribution points to complete the repair.

Looking at the small world, which had almost doubled in size to 20 square kilometers, and at Little Azi, who was beaming with joy because the small world had grown bigger, Chu Yang felt much better.

At this point, Chu Yang had almost finished organizing everything.

It's time to return to the real world...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In the real world, an underground shelter in Shanghai was mostly submerged by overflowing lake water.

The people here are a bit unlucky; the location of their underground shelter has been cut off in the middle by the merman world that has been merged into it.

As the blue lake water poured in, a group of blue-skinned, scaled fish-man monsters also stormed in!

Although the proportion of Gatekeepers among humans is not low now, it is still much smaller than the number of these merfolk awakeners.

The key point is that there are several third-tier awakened individuals among this group of merfolk, while there are not many third-tier door openers among the human race.

Soon, the gatekeeper blocking the fishmen's path was breached.

The ordinary people behind them, trembling in fear at the sight of the fish-man monster, became lambs to the slaughter.

A fish-man leaped from the water and lunged at the neck of a terrified girl...

The world suddenly froze!

Three seconds later, a closed eye appeared on the top of the fishman's head.

Three seconds later, a gold coin fell from the sky, piercing through the cement above and also through the fishman's skull.

Half of the fishman's body was instantly annihilated!

The gold coins disappeared, and four more gold coins appeared, then flew straight upwards.

The same scene unfolded within a radius of hundreds of miles, affecting the other seven races besides humans.

In this frozen space-time, more than 108 million alien beings instantly lost their lives!

Beyond this still space, countless creatures gazed in horror at the sky above this area.

Under the blue moonlight, countless golden lights could be seen.

The dense golden light transformed this area into a golden kingdom, and also dyed the surrounding dozens of miles golden.

Above this golden kingdom, a figure stands suspended, seemingly a god treading upon this golden light.

Ten seconds later, the golden light disappeared, and time, which had been bound in this area, began to flow again.

Then, the people in this area were shocked to discover that almost all the alien races inside had died!

The few who survived thanks to their invincible abilities were plunged into endless panic because of their inexplicable experience of dying once.

Above, Chu Yang looked at his human race contribution points, which had increased from 3 to 140 million, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Human contribution points are still quite easy to earn..."
