[You have obtained the mysterious item "Civilization Core Fragment"]

The ship needed to sail in the Great Xia Lake for nearly three days to reach the Great Xia City, so after thinking about it, Xia Qi finally decided to open the treasure chest and player relics that had been accumulated recently.

First of all, Huang Pei's relics, there are not many things in it, only tens of thousands of civilization points and a number of sundries, the most precious of which is a black iron quality telescope production drawing.

Needless to say, the role of telescopes is needless to say, but the problem is that there is no process for firing glass in Daxia at present. Fortunately, this is difficult for Xia Qi, and there are glass production drawings in the trading house.

After selection, Xia Qi finally selected a silver-quality glass production blueprint, which cost more than 100,000 civilization points.

Subsequently, Xia Qi opened the silver treasure chest and obtained two skill books, Water Mastery and Water Warfare, respectively.

Among them, the Water Mastery is Bronze, and the Water Battle is Silver.

Xia Qi sighed, could it be that because he was on the boat, the things he opened were related to water? He smiled, and put it in his personal warehouse.

A player's relic, a silver treasure chest, and a gold treasure chest, among which the things that come out of the gold treasure chest are the most peculiar, called the core fragments of civilization.

Xia Qi was very curious and took it out of his personal warehouse.

The core fragment of civilization was only the size of a fist, blue throughout, and a hazy light shrouded in it.

"What the hell is this?" Xia Qi looked at the fragments in his hand and muttered softly.

He tried to look with the Eye of Insight, but the result was ......

[Civilization Core Fragment: This is a magical little fragment]

Xia Qi: ......

After thinking about it, Xia Qi decided to ask Yang Guang.

Xia Qi: In? Just opened a fragment of the core of civilization, what is this?

A few minutes later, Yang Guang sent a message.

Yang Guang: Have you opened the core fragment of civilization? Good luck, boy.

Xia Qi: Can you tell us what the core fragments of civilization are used for?

After another few minutes, Yang Guang organized his language for a while, and then began to answer Xia Qi's question.

Yang Guang: You should be clear about the various stages of the development of human civilization, right?

Xia Qi: Yes. Isn't it the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Gunpowder Age, the Steam Age, the Electric Age, the Atomic Age, and the Information Age in which Bluestar is currently located.

Yang Guang: That's not bad, but have you ever thought that when a civilization reaches a certain stage of development, it will stagnate, or ...... At some point did it develop to a very exaggerated state?

Xia Qi: It's like ...... Cyberpunk kind?

Yang Guang: That's good! And the fragments of the core of civilization are to make a new fork in the original normal development sequence!

Xia Qi was stunned for a moment and asked, "You mean......

Yang Guang: That's what you think. For example, what if, after entering the Iron Age, you did not enter the Age of Steam, but entered another entirely new era of civilization? For example, mechanical civilization, orc civilization, elven civilization...... Even the Protoss!

Seeing this, Xia Qi couldn't help asking: Does God really exist?

Yang Guang: That's just the self-proclaimed name of those guys. But it is undeniable that that civilization is very powerful.

Xia Qi was greatly moved in his heart and asked: Then after using the core fragments of civilization, can I get special troops, special buildings, or something?

In fact, Xia Qi has a special fetish, and he has no resistance to mysterious and unknown things.

Thinking about it, once he used the core fragment of civilization, he would be able to obtain and develop the possibility of unknown civilization, just thinking about it made him excited.

Yang Guang: That's true, but I need to remind you that every race civilization has its strengths and weaknesses. It's like the previous Protoss civilization has been developing for tens of thousands of years, but it only has a population of a few million, but I have to say that the lifespan of these guys is a long time, just to become an adult, it takes thousands of years. However, this is also an unspoken rule in the battlefield of civilization, the longer the race, the lower its fertility.

Xia Qi understood this, after all, such a powerful race with a long lifespan, if the population was still large, other players would also be beaten and surrender directly. What's more, there are too many people, and their planet can't fit it.

Yang Guang: In addition to that, there is the orc civilization. There are no restrictions on the fertility of this civilization, and even some of these races have more fertility than humans. But behind the strong combat power and fertility, there is the IQ at the bottom. In the orc civilization, under the intelligence of many races, charging into battle is a good hand, but if you want to engage in production, you can't even think about it. As a result, the Orc civilization is very unproductive and relies on invading other players to obtain resources.

After a pause, Yang Guang continued: In addition to the above two types of civilizations, there is also a special civilization.

Xia Qi: Special civilization?

Yang Guang: That's good. This civilization is called a mechanical civilization, and as the name suggests, all of them are robots. That player transferred the consciousness of all the people in his civilization to the mechanical body, and at the cost of this, the people of his entire civilization have completed a certain degree of immortality, theoretically speaking, as long as the energy source is not depleted, and the mechanical core that carries the consciousness body is not damaged, they are immortal.

Xia Qi: That's not a small price to pay, isn't it?

Yang Guang: That's right. Because the people of the entire civilization have become mechanical life, therefore, they have completely lost their fertility, the population has stopped growing, and they can only improve the population of their own civilization by plundering the population of other civilizations, in addition to this, it seems that even the senses such as smell and taste are gone, in the strict sense, they can no longer be counted as human beings, but it cannot be denied that from the perspective of combat effectiveness, they are very strong, and they are the existence of a hegemon.

Xia Qi: Flesh and blood are weak, and the machine is soaring.

Yang Guang: That's a very appropriate way to describe it. In short, I want to remind you that there are pros and cons to the core fragments of civilization, but it is up to you whether to use them or not.

Yang Guang: By the way, I haven't asked you about the development of civilization for a while, so let's talk about it.

Civilization is developing......

Xia Qi thought about it, it seemed that he hadn't checked the situation in Great Xia for a while.

Name: Xia

Scale: City-state

Population: 192035

Special Bonus: Farming (30% increase in your civilization crop yield)

City: Great Xia City

Scale:......

Subsequently, Xia Qi informed Yang Guang of this series of data.

Looking at the series of data inspired by Xia Qi, Yang Guang's face was complicated.

Yang Guang: If I remember correctly, you've only been on the battlefield of civilization for less than a year, right?

Xia Qi: It's going to be a year soon.

It was summer when he first entered the civilization battlefield, and now it has been nearly two months since he entered the spring, and summer is not far away.

Yang Guang was speechless, you must know that normal players, just from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, it takes years and decades, like Xia Qi, who only entered the game for less than a year to develop civilization to such a scale, which is absolutely unique. Even Yang Guang himself can't compare with it.

However, this also strengthened his determination to continue to cultivate Xia Qi, don't feel that you can sit back and relax when you enter the highest rank, in fact, the higher the rank, the greater the competition between players.

After all, with the exception of the abnormal non-rank stage, the number of players between ranks is decreasing. And, in addition to the competition between players, players at the highest rank also need to deal with threats from the depths of the universe.

Speaking of which, Xia Qi remembered the troubles he had encountered recently, and in line with the principle of not working for one thing, he informed Yang Guang of the matter of the Tianxia Alliance.

When Yang Guang heard that someone wanted to find trouble with inviting players that he valued the most, then could he pay it back? immediately made a guarantee to Xia Qi.

Yang Guang: I know, I'll deal with this matter. However, it's normal for players to compete with each other, and I'll try to keep it in control so that the fight between you stays on the same level, and high-level players are not allowed to interfere.

Xia Qi: Yes.

Xia Qi, who was guaranteed, was also relieved in his heart, if it was just against players of the same rank, he was confident.

Then, Xia Qi looked at the core fragment of civilization in his hand, and after a short period of thought, he chose to use it.

After all, Pifu is not guilty, although Xia Qi has Yang Guang behind him, but maybe after the news is leaked, someone will take a risk. Because the core fragments of civilization are so special.

Even if it is a gold-level production blueprint, skill, or even an elixir, it will not attract the attention of the bigwigs, after all, who can mix in that position, who doesn't have a few gold-level production drawings in their hands?

However, the core fragment of civilization is different, even if this thing is Yang Guang, it is a very hot thing.

When the two talked before, the other party's envy and depression were already overflowing.

【Civilization Core Fragment used】

Originally, Xia Qi thought that after using the core fragments of civilization, there would be a series of changes in the world he was in, but no, everything was quiet.

"This civilization core fragment has also been used, but it doesn't seem to have changed at all?" Xia Qi muttered.

Xia Qi opened the system interface and confirmed that there was indeed no change, but the problem was that in his personal warehouse, the core fragments of civilization had also disappeared.

Xia Qi, who didn't believe in evil, walked out of the cabin again, looking at the sparkling Daxia Lake, the fleet of boats that cut through the waves, the blue sky, and the white ......

In short, he looked at everything around him and finally determined that nothing had changed.

"Could it be that Yang Guang is exaggerating, or is he lying to me?" Such a thought flashed quickly through Xia Qi's mind.

"But it doesn't make sense, it's not good for him to lie to me, or ...... This item doesn't take effect by simply clicking on it, but what are the hidden triggers? ”

With the rise of this speculation, Xia Qi's mood was also delicate for a while.

"Alas!"

Xia Qi sighed heavily, and then shook his head again, "I don't want to, I don't want to, let it be." ”
