Chapter 64: Chapter 64: The Leader of the Eastern Country Blood Demon?
Although it seemed chaotic and had everything, the number of items actually available for purchase was not that many and could be divided into three major categories.
Technology, Magic, Cultivation!
However, according to the intelligence received from the Blood Demon Mother’s side, their past civilization’s Chosen One Mall did not have the same three categories.
The categories in the Blood Demon’s former mall were Technology, Totems, and Mutation.
Only Technology was the same.
Unfortunately, all related knowledge and specific contents were erased and sealed at the moment of trial failure.
But even just a name was enough to spark imagination.
Many experts speculated that these three directions were actually initial recommendations made by the Civilization Trial based on the characteristics of the civilization.
Moreover, judging by the many unlocked items in the Chosen One Mall, it was very likely that there would be ways to unlock more paths later on.
Otherwise, there was no need to list these products.
Regardless, for Human Civilization today, among these three directions, “Technology” was the most cost-effective one.
Because they already had a foundation in this direction.
The other domains were not useless either. Not to mention targeted items like the “Sensing Talisman,” even ordinary resources for personal strength growth held extremely high research value—potentially enhancing the entire army or even the individual quality of All People.
The existence of Parasite Failures had already shown that one did not need to be a Chosen One to step into the Transcendent realm.
The resources in the Extraordinary Domain within the mall could likely be used by ordinary people as well!
The words Shen Hao wrote in the “Civilization Trial Records” thus gained the agreement of many.
“Survive the trials, become stronger!”
Many were now fantasizing that if they could continually survive the trials, Human Civilization might have the chance to reach a stage far beyond imagination!
“Alright, upgrade those who should upgrade, enhance those who should enhance, and experiment with those who should experiment,” Shen Hao finally said, “The offspring registered under the caught Blood Demon Mother have mostly been captured, but a few have escaped, including several Level 4 Blood Demons. Now, only some of the Chosen Ones have the ability to pursue them. You may need to act separately from me.”
Upon hearing this statement, the present Chosen Ones all became solemn.
Level 4 Blood Demons were indeed very dangerous.
Although Blood Demons that had separated from the Mother were unable to use their parasitic fission ability, they could still consume humans to become stronger.
In them, Level 4 Blood Demons would only be more cunning and more ferocious.
Till now, the Chosen Ones within Shen Hao’s team, thanks to the high-level resources received here, had just managed to reach Level 3. Relying on their Talent, abilities, and equipment, they might be able to battle a Level 4 Blood Demon, but other Chosen Ones did not have such favorable conditions.
Even though Shen Hao had made available all the resources he didn’t need, only some of the Chosen Ones could benefit from them.
After all, the Chosen One Market had not fully formed yet; everyone was “borrowing” resources from Shen Hao, hence eligibility for resource allocation naturally had to be selective.
Those who dared to fight and had the determination and will to take responsibility were the focus.
The Chosen Ones in Shen Hao’s team were no exception.
He naturally had to continue finding and controlling more Blood Demon Mothers, as well as precisely eliminating some focused in the city areas, but the more scattered Blood Demons would definitely need to be handled by others.
“Don’t worry, group leader,” Cheng Youqing, who appeared to be the most eager to fight, said, looking almost impatient, “We won’t let you down.”
The others nodded in agreement, including Qiuyue; none were cowards.
Now, there weren’t just one or two Chosen Ones who were envious of them; some even managed to send membership applications to Dong Gong.
However, the team had already begun to form a tacit understanding, and Shen Hao had no intention of adding more members for the time being.
He wanted to first observe their performance.
As a Cheater, Shen Hao had already decided to follow both the “Personal Strength” and “Legion” tracks simultaneously!
After a brief gathering, everyone quickly split up, with each person assigned their own tasks. Although the domestic situation seemed to have secured an advantage, the overall combat situation was still tense, and there was no time to waste, especially not too many deaths in this first Trial!
Therefore, Shen Hao had not even kept too many points; forthcoming points would only increase. Keeping points in hand was hardly useful. He aimed to quickly utilize them, while also gaining some return on points by rapidly transforming them into strength on various fronts.
Just from others’ point feedback, he could now accumulate over twenty thousand points daily.
Though not much yet, it was starting to scale up.
Don’t forget, he still had the chance to cheat!
However, just as Shen Hao achieved another significant victory and was rapidly digesting his gains, on the other side, a Blood Demon Mother, seeing the news online, could no longer tolerate the situation.
“We must start now!”
This Blood Demon Mother seemed to be the only one preparing to do something rather than merely thinking of escaping. The face it had acquired through parasitism seemed even more human.
The next day, as Shen Hao was rushing to a city identified with a concentration of Blood Demons, he suddenly received an urgent communication from Dong Gong.
“Group leader!” Dong Gong’s voice was hurried, “Three minutes ago, a Blood Demon Mother posted a video online!”
“What?” Shen Hao was momentarily stunned.
“For now, just take a look,” Dong Gong replied.
“Alright!”
Shen Hao immediately opened the link Dong Gong had sent him.
The video had a rather sensational title.
—”I am the leader of the Eastern Country Blood Demon Race, seeking dialogue with Shen Hao.”
Yes, that was the title.
Self-proclaimed as the leader of the Eastern Country Blood Demon Race, it even sought to have a dialogue with Shen Hao.
In the current internet frenzy, such a headline was maximally attention-grabbing.
Shen Hao immediately started the video.
The scene depicted a relatively well-lit room, but it was completely barren with empty walls, resembling a common under-furnished house. A girl wearing a mask, slim in stature and appearing like a high school student, stood there.
“I am the leader of the Blood Demon Race in the Eastern Country, also a Blood Demon Mother,” she stated.
As soon as she spoke, that raspy, dark, moist female voice immediately made Shen Hao’s gaze sharpen.
That was indeed a characteristic of a Blood Demon Mother’s consciousness descending upon its offspring.
Because it was not about controlling vocal cords to produce a sound, but rather controlling the blood to mimic vocal cords, creating vibrations to generate sound.
Next, this Blood Demon Mother made an even more convincing demonstration.
Stretching out a hand, blood directly seeped from the capillaries, gathering in front of her, continuously transforming!
