I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Chapter 48 - 45 Milestone of Yunhai City



Everyone fell into perplexity, it took quite a while to recover their senses, and only a few young people were quietly discussing, "Milestone rewards? Right, weren’t there several milestones displayed on that screen?"

"Something about ending city chaos, a stable civilization..."

"Professor Zhang, you’ve arrived."

Professor Zhang Hui, who was fast asleep, hurried to the scene with a buttered bread in his mouth. He had only slept for two hours in the next room before he was woken up, his eyes red with blood vessels.

"What happened?"

"Take a look at this!"

After all, Zhang Hui was an internationally renowned researcher. Just a glance at the image made him realize the phenomenon of supernatural interference, and he nearly lost his balance!

The bread fell from his mouth with a "plop" onto the ground.

Following that, the communicator started to "ding ding ding" ring.

[Human civilization, Sixth Branch, has sent a communication request, do you want to connect?] (New York City)

[Human civilization, Seventh Branch, has sent a communication request, do you want to connect?] (Barry City)

[Human civilization, Eighth Branch, has sent a communication request, do you want to connect?] (London City)

"Confirm the connection," Professor Zhang quickly tidied his messy hair, put on his glasses, and gave a smile.

"Oh, my God, God! Look what he got? Did God give him a box of treasure?!"

"Is he a son of God, with a box of treasure falling from the sky!" Professor Edward’s tone was incredibly exaggerated.

The old man had dark circles under his eyes and his entire face was red.

"Cough cough, Professor Edward, the sons of God are Jesus and Hong Xiuquan."

"I think he might be the son of the Jade Emperor," Zhang Hui picked up his bread, blew off the dust, and ate it contently.

Edward then brought a young man onto the screen, "Let me introduce you, this is my assistant, named Jacob, my best student. He has the ability of telepathy."

"Hello, Professor Zhang."

"Hello, Mr. Jacob, can you make contact?"

M Country, being a superpower on Earth, it’s normal to gather talents from all over the world and have more superpower users than Yunhai City.

"No," Edward shook his head, "Telepathy won’t work if the two parties have never met face to face. But if we could get a hold of something he wears, there might be a slim chance of sensing him."

"That would require both sides to open their Safe Zones... which won’t be possible in the short term," Zhang Hui shook his head as well. Safe Zones couldn’t be opened casually, otherwise, it could endanger everyone’s lives.

In the following few minutes, the leading scientists of various cities came online, excitedly discussing the scenes that had just transpired.

Of course, there were also a few cities that did not come online.

If they couldn’t even detect an extraordinary interference phenomenon, it was a natural consequence to be eliminated by the rest of the world, so no one would take the initiative to contact them.

Professor Zhang cleared his throat, "Hello friends, good to see you all. It seems everyone has finished watching that video and noticed the extraordinary interference phenomenon."

"The most pressing issue now is, where did that box of items come from?"

"Can we perhaps learn something from it... obtain that box of items?"

Many intelligent minds quickly engaged in a detailed discussion and came up with two possibilities.

First, the treasure was left by the Meida Civilization, and Lu Yuan was simply performing a magic trick, a joke.

As for flashy things like lightning, it was very likely also from the Meida Civilization...

The Meida Civilization was, after all, a technological one.

Though extinct, its technology level wasn’t necessarily much higher than that of humans, but creating things like artificial lightning was actually relatively easy.

With just a generator and a Tesla Coil, one could create lightning artificially.

"But we believe this possibility is rather unlikely because, from a psychological standpoint, Lu Yuan is in a state of extreme loneliness,"

"Many of his behaviors, including talking to himself and raising a pack of wolves, are to alleviate this sense of loneliness."

"If he knew we could actually observe him, he would have come forth and attempted to communicate with us, instead of making a big fuss and pulling off a magic trick for us to see," analyzed a psychology expert.

Motivation is very important.

All human actions are based on motivation.

If Lu Yuan truly found out that the metal ball could facilitate communication, he couldn’t have held himself back.

So that leaves the second, more significant possibility.

Especially considering the cold words from not so long ago: [The item attribute system has been generated, extraordinary items will be categorized into eight levels: Inferior, Ordinary, Rare, Superior, Legendary, Epic, Immortal, and Mythical.]

Along with the big sphere’s milestone hints and the words of Lu Yuan.

The answer was nearly screaming out!

"God" indeed actively rewards civilizations that show exceptional progress.

The more outstanding, the more they receive!!

And those scissors, daggers, and such were rewards for completing milestones.

"For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him... So that’s it," mumbled Professor Edward, recalling some content from the Gospel of Matthew.

This discovery was truly too important!

It meant that humans could actively seek opportunities to trigger so-called "milestones" to accelerate their own development.

But what milestones could be completed quickly?

The crowd turned towards the large metal ball, and a crystal screen’s display.

[Exploring the Ninth Epoch, the civilization milestones that can be displayed... Please wait...]

[1. End urban chaos, become a stable civilization.]

[??!43*%?? (A series of incomprehensible garbled codes)]

[3. Abolish the Safe Zone, step towards the Pangu Continent.]

[Database damage due to unknown factors, cannot explore further, please explore on your own...]

This panel was filled with garbled coding, as if a mysterious force had erased the database, but regardless, two lines were still displayed.

But these two, well...

Neither could be accomplished by the efforts of a single person.

"How are things on your end? Has the city chaos ended?" When Zhang Hui saw the first item, his heart suddenly started pounding, and he held his breath.

Was Yunhai City about to complete the first one?

And what exactly was the criteria for assessment... Could they receive a reward?

"Ah... Power hasn’t been restored yet, everyone in the city is looting the malls... The electricians have gone on a complete strike, and the roads are jammed too," sighed a brown-skinned professor, shrugging his shoulders, "I’m hiding in the research institute right now, there’s military protection, so it’s not too bad."

"What about your side?"

"Over here... *cough* the government is striving to maintain order, it’s tough for everyone," Zhang Hui said with a straight face, playing the role of a battle reporter.
