Chapter 168 Powerful VIP Product Cheat!

Until on the back of everyone’s hand, a mystical engraving appeared.

It was identical to the engraving on the back of the “Emperor’s Throne”.

There was the same engraving on the “Emperor’s Scepter” as well.

This represented Shen Hao.

“I’ve sealed a portion of my power within your bodies, but once it’s expended, it’s gone,” Shen Hao retracted the scepter and said slowly to the four of them, “Such a vast distance, my support will need at least ten minutes to arrive. However, I will always be watching over you. Should you encounter an insurmountable predicament, just call out my name, and then, hold on for ten minutes!”

Only then did the four understand the meaning of this action.

Feeling the immense power sealed within them that they had never experienced before, each of them was exhilarated!

All the original unease and tension seemed to be swept away!

Even though the President made it very clear that this power would be no more once used up, it was so formidable!

Moreover, the President’s subsequent words undoubtedly gave them tremendous confidence!

Let alone ten minutes of support, just the President’s attention was like adding a massive amount of courage, making it clear to them that even on an alien planet battlefield, the President was still with them!

“Depart now. Zou Shulong is the captain for this mission; if necessary, I will also provide you with directions,” Shen Hao concluded, “The contribution points for this mission are also extremely generous. I will be waiting for your return.”

“Yes!” The four responded in unison!

It wasn’t until they had left the room and were standing in front of a fairly large pitch-black spaceship that they came back to their senses from the excitement.

“This spaceship is AI-controlled; you just need to give the commands,” the person in charge of leading the way said standing beside the spaceship, “It is also equipped with some weapons systems, but it is primarily a reconnaissance ship, so the weapon functions are not particularly powerful. You can ask the AI for more information.”

“Thank you.” Zou Shulong expressed his gratitude.

“No need to be polite. Oh, and,” the leading person seemed to remember something and added, “If necessary, the spaceship itself can suffice. With your strength, you can survive in space for a while. You just need to wait ten minutes, and no matter where you are, the President will be able to open a portal and escort you back.”

“Understood,” Zou Shulong took a deep breath and said with a smile, “We know, the President is with us.”

“Wishing you a safe return,” the leading person saluted them military-style.

The four saluted back

Although it was a simple gesture, at that moment, each one could feel their sense of mission.

“Board the ship! Depart!” Zou Shulong ordered.

This was not the first time the four had boarded a spacecraft; the kind that had picked them up before, capable of stable flight in a Level 20 blizzard, was also a spacecraft.

But this was their first time leaving the Mother Planet.

When the spaceship steadily accelerated and left the planet within a mere minute, everyone looked back at the Mother Planet covered in ice and snow with mixed emotions.

“This won’t be the last time,” Zou Shulong said with a smile, “The Civilization Trial has brought a lot of misfortune, but it has indeed brought a more exciting world. Since we can’t stop it, we might as well enjoy a life of struggle against the Civilization Trial.”

“Captain’s words are spot on,” Feng Ping nodded vigorously, “That’s exactly what I think.”

“Heh, you young people are always more spirited,” Zou Shulong laughed, then his expression turned serious, “All right, the entire journey will take about a day. We also need to do some preparations, to increase our understanding and rapport with one another. We hope the civilization on the Fourth Planet can hold out that long.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They shifted their gaze from the Mother Planet to the endless darkness of the universe, that even more remote planet.

As for the civilization on Planet No.4, could it hold out?

Shen Hao believed it could.

The performance value had already clarified many things; after experiencing the initial plummet, the trend of decline in the performance value representing the civilization on the Fourth Planet had significantly slowed down.

Now it had nearly stabilized.

It even ranked sixth, with only two civilizations performing worse than the current No.4 Civilization, excluding the eliminated Siti Civilization.

“Is the Desert Tower Civilization still covering with nuclear explosions?” Shen Hao inquired.

“Yes,” someone immediately responded, “The forward reconnaissance points are still closely monitoring, and the recorded intensity of the nuclear explosions hasn’t decreased.”

“It seems that for this civilization, nuclear weapons aren’t fatal,” Shen Hao nodded slightly.

This was normal.

Nuclear weapons seem formidable, but in reality, there are many weaknesses.

The initial blast point would be difficult to withstand, but the subsequent fallout is not unmanageable, even past Human Civilizations had nuclear defense bases, and now there are even more methods of defense.

The idea of completely eradicating a not-so-weak civilization with just this type of bombardment was probably not possible.

However, since the Desert Tower Civilization had taken action, there would certainly be follow-up.

Yet whether Human Civilization should intervene, and to what extent, would still depend on the actual situation of No.4 Civilization.

At this moment, what Shen Hao was more focused on was the cheat device.

Yes, the unlocking time for the third cheat device had arrived!

Without hesitation, Shen Hao selected what he had already decided upon.

[VIP Commodity Cheat Device First Edition]

In Shen Hao’s view, this cheat device was one of the stronger ones among the seven refreshed for this Trial.

Unlike the previous “VIP Store Plugin,” this plugin didn’t raise the VIP Level, but it could lock a refresh slot in the VIP store, ensuring that the rarest items would appear every time the inventory refreshed.

This point was very important.

The current Level 2 VIP Store had nine slots refreshing every three days, mostly featuring Blue Quality goods, with Purple items appearing only occasionally and at a level significantly lower than the store’s level. Moreover, it included both “permanent unlock” and “one-time purchase” options.

Often, it was the one-time purchase items that had higher levels and better quality.

The permanent unlocks were of much lower level and quality.

Nonetheless, whenever a Purple or a high-level Blue Quality item appeared, it could still have a tremendous impact.

Like the Ten Thousand Soul Banner from before.

The recently refreshed “Underground City Generation Magic Scroll” was another example, although it was a one-time use item.

With the anticipation of sporadic surprises, Shen Hao would always calculate the time to check the store with each refresh.

Now, there were just over ten hours left until the next refresh.

New plugin loaded!

Shen Hao continued his own affairs, waiting patiently.

Several calm hours passed, and the majority of Human Civilization was unaware of the war raging in outer space. Still, the few who did know were already making various preparations.

Including personnel allocation, military factory remodeling, and transportation of arms and equipment within the store…

Finally, when the refresh time arrived, Shen Hao accessed the store at the first opportunity.

At first glance, he saw amidst a sea of Blue a solitary item shining with a Purple glow.

“Nice…”

Shen Hao couldn’t help but admire the item after getting a clear view.

It was not just because of its strength but also because of its timely arrival.

[Name: Cosmic Military Mother Ship for Expeditions]

[Level: 20]

[Quality: Purple Epic]

[Length 12.8 kilometers, width 3.2 kilometers, equipped with a Curvature Engine, an Antimatter Power Furnace, capable of accelerating to one percent of light speed, fitted with one Energy-type Main Cannon, fifteen secondary cannons, one thousand four hundred and twenty-five Real Bullet Cannons, featuring the Klein Defense Position, and armored with Titan Level Armor.]

[Price: 170 billion points]

[Note: More intimidating when used with a large number of interstellar drones!]

Yes, it was a warship!

Warships appearing in the store were nothing unusual; after reaching higher Store Levels, both standard and VIP stores would occasionally offer warships.

The reconnaissance warship that was used to send Feng Ping and his group away was also a Blue Quality warship.

But this was the first time a Purple Epic had appeared!

And it was a Purple Epic only two levels lower than the standard store!

Even if it was just a one-time purchase, as opposed to an unlockable item, it was still incredibly strong!

Level 20 was a watershed for items in the store.

Keep in mind that the strongest Purple Quality item Shen Hao had obtained before was still three levels lower than the store’s level.

And even that didn’t appear often.

He had thought that was the rarest probability, but unexpectedly, there were Purple items that were only two levels lower.

Ever since the VIP store had been activated, despite dozens of refreshes over a considerable length of time, he had never once seen such a thing.

That showed how rare this chance was.

But it didn’t matter.

From now on, during the Trial Period, each refresh would bring such luck!

This VIP store plugin was indeed powerful!

“Cheating is thrilling,” Shen Hao murmured in satisfaction, squinting slightly, “just like a twist of fate.”

Indeed, although the plugin allowed him to lock onto the rarest items, it wasn’t guaranteed to be a warship—it could have been any other type of Purple item.

But a warship appeared under these circumstances.

It had to be said, it felt like a twist of fate.

Shen Hao didn’t waste any time, glanced briefly at the other items to find nothing remarkable, and directly purchased the warship.

170 billion points was indeed quite expensive—this was after an 85% discount, which meant the original price was two hundred billion points.

But, it was still in line with the store’s pricing.

In the store, a Level 22 White Quality Single Soldier Universe Fighter would also cost roughly two billion points, but eighty such fighters wouldn’t pose nearly the same threat as one mother ship.

Especially compared to the Desert Tower Civilization, which could produce its own interstellar weapons, using mass-purchased items from the Point Mall in a war of attrition was obviously a loss—it was essential to have weapons of significant deterrence!
