Chapter 445: Gold-level [Civilization Clock Tower], Civilization Radiation Range Updated |
This was a plane world completely constructed from shadows.
A city appeared quite abruptly in this shadow world, with skyscrapers, streets, suburbs, and sea areas.
It could be said it was the complete mirrored projection of Green Forest City from the real world.
This was precisely the City Shadows Plane.
It was two sides of the same coin with Green Forest City in the real world, the front being the 'main city' of the shadow plane, and the back being the 'projection city' of the real world.
Yu Yuan was currently walking within this shadow city.
"This shadow plane seems even more miraculous than imagined."
Yu Yuan observed his surroundings while pondering.
The effect of the ultimate title, City Shadows Plane, was more comprehensive than he had imagined.
The size of the City Shadows Plane was exactly the same as the size of Green Forest City.
Even the bullet holes on the walls were completely identical.
The only difference was that this shadow city had no ice or snow.
The weather and disasters of the real world could not affect the shadow city at all.
Not only that, but Yu Yuan's shelter, Recruit Training Camp, Primary Civilization War Fortress, including the Transmission Portal, had all been replicated here.
Hmm... it couldn't be called replication.
More accurately, it was migration.
After all, the shadow plane was now the main city of Green Forest City, and all the buildings in Green Forest City in the real world had become projections.
"If that's the case, then the Administrative Council Center can also be built."
The Administrative Council Center was a function that appeared after Yu Yuan confirmed Green Forest City as the core city of the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization.
Confirming the Administrative Council Center would provide significant assistance for future civilization development.
Previously, Yu Yuan had not confirmed it. The main reason was that the Administrative Council Center was extremely important for a civilization.
Once the Administrative Council Center was destroyed by enemies, the entire civilization system would fall into paralysis.
It was precisely because of such a severe side effect that Yu Yuan had always been hesitant.
But now, with the appearance of the City Shadows Plane, this concern was completely resolved.
A miniature 'clock tower' appeared in Yu Yuan's hand.
It was precisely the Gold-tier civilization building he had obtained earlier—the Civilization Clock Tower.
Not only did it have the effect of an Administrative Council Center, it was also an upgradable building.
Its unique Energy Barrier could shelter all areas within a 500-meter radius of the Civilization Clock Tower, and this was only the Level 1 building effect.
It was the optimal choice to serve as the city's Administrative Council Center.
As for the construction location...
Currently, there were only three areas most important to Yu Yuan in all of Green Forest City.
The shelter, the Recruit Training Camp (Primary Civilization War Fortress), and Johnck Zoo.
The importance of the shelter needed no explanation; it was the core of his core.
Johnck Zoo was the headquarters of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, serving as Yu Yuan's current frontline base for biotechnology.
Finally, there was the Recruit Training Camp, which was the former location of the Black Shield Police Department.
This was not only Yu Yuan's largest barracks, but beneath the Recruit Training Camp was also the civilization's core building, the Primary Civilization War Fortress.
Yu Yuan opened the virtual map and thought for a moment.
Although there was the shadow plane effect, and it didn't matter if the buildings in the projection city were destroyed as long as the main city remained intact—they would automatically recover after one day.
Whether it was the soldiers in the Recruit Training Camp or the researchers of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, the area they lived in was ultimately the real world.
They had to be taken into consideration.
The shelter had the stealth effect of the Stealth Rat, Zhi Zhi, making any detection related to the shelter's location ineffective. Its security was still very high.
As for the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was the most secure area in all of Green Forest City.
Not to mention the terrifying defensive weapons within Johnck Zoo.
Just the Bronze-tier creatures imprisoned there would be enough to give any invader a hard time.
Don't think that just because Yu Yuan took down the Aurora Animal Assistance Association easily back then, it was a simple task.
That was the result of his long-term strategic planning, combined with Mona's coordination from the inside.
Finally, there was the deterrence of Zhi Zhi, a Silver-tier creature, and Jiu Feng's voluntary surrender, among other factors.
This doesn't even include the Gold-tier Celestial Phenomena Card and other miscellaneous items consumed in the early stages of scheming against the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
Yu Yuan's capture of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association was absolutely the result of his immense effort.
How could other players possibly take it down easily?
Not to mention, now there were the two werewolves, Hogg and Weiss, there. Anyone foolish enough to attack the Aurora Animal Assistance Association would definitely get their head bloodied.
Therefore, the only current weak point was the Recruit Training Camp.
Although the soldiers of the Recruit Training Camp had now begun to develop combat effectiveness, especially the members of the Pioneering Group.
But there was also the even more important Civilization Teleportation Gate there. If enemies launched a direct assault, Yu Yuan wasn't afraid.
What he feared was the enemy directly using high-powered long-range weapons.
Let's choose here!
Yu Yuan now arrived at the area between the Recruit Training Camp and the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
At a location separated from the Recruit Training Camp by just one street.
[Confirm deployment of 'Civilization Clock Tower' at the target location?]
— [Yes]
With the confirmation, the miniature clock tower in Yu Yuan's hand disappeared.
And at the location Yu Yuan had selected, a clock tower building measuring 40m × 40m appeared, standing 128 meters tall.
At the very top of the clock tower was a pyramid-shaped spire, atop which stood a lightning rod-like object.
Below the spire was the clock tower's core functional layer—the clock chamber, composed of extremely complex mechanical devices, with occasional traces of energy operation visible.
Clearly, this mechanical device wasn't just for clock movement functions; it had some other effects as well.
Paired with the clock faces on all four sides—east, west, south, and north—the feeling of a fusion between retro and technology was particularly strong.
Below that was the tower body and base, also constructed from precise machinery. In fact, the entire clock tower was a precision mechanical building refined to the extreme.
However, the decorative patterns on the tower body's surface gave Yu Yuan the illusion of looking at the runes of the Spiritual Dimension ritual circle.
But clearly, these patterns were not ritual runes.
"What a strange building!"
Although somewhat astonished in his heart, Yu Yuan had already begun operating on the Virtual Light Screen.
[Please confirm the core city's Administrative Council Center.]
A prompt message popped up on the Virtual Light Screen.
Followed by two options.
— Green Forest City Municipal Council Building
— Civilization Clock Tower
(Friendly reminder: The Administrative Council Center of the civilization's core city is the most central building of the entire civilization. Once this core building is destroyed, the entire civilization system will fall into paralysis. Please choose carefully.)
[Confirm selection: Civilization Clock Tower?]
— [Confirm]
[The Administrative Council Center for the core city of the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization—Green Forest City—has been confirmed as the 'Civilization Clock Tower'.]
[Civilization administrative decree radiation range has been updated. Current civilization radiation range: Ten Thousand Nations Pact World—Green Forest City, Dead Mine Town World—Dead Mine Town; Semi-radiation range: Molten Kobold World—Black Flame Tribe.]
