Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!-Chapter 788 - 532: The Kejin Civilization!

The fact is indeed so.

After the Heavenly Dao Civilization successfully broke through, within three years, the civilization that had once found them and claimed to be a member of the Trial Civilization Alliance contacted them again.

They inquired whether they had made any new discoveries about the Civilization Trial System’s loopholes.

According to Shen Hao’s arrangement, the Heavenly Dao Civilization responded truthfully to this contact.

They informed them that they had become an affiliated civilization of Human Civilization.

After that, the contact was cut off.

There was no response from the other side.

"This is the second civilization of the Trial Civilization Alliance. It’s evident that there is a certain hierarchy within this alliance." Shen Hao observed the comparison between the two civilizations.

Just as other civilizations can probe into the general situation of Human Civilization through civilization trade, Human Civilization can also understand certain information about other civilizations through similar methods.

And the civilization contacting Human Civilization was named Auer Civilization.

A very common transliterated name, it did not carry much literal meaning, just a name, a designation.

This civilization was ranked Level 80 in the Civilization Trade Mall.

However, they had once put forth Level 81 items.

And not just once.

Even though most of those items were only Purple Epic level, or lower, they were still Level 81.

In the scenario where their civilization was judged to be Level 80, being able to sell such a variety of Level 81 items could only lead to one conclusion.

Auer Civilization possessed a Level 81 Civilization Mall!

The Ninth Phase Civilization Mall!

Their strength, needless to say, was formidable.

And the civilization contacting the Heavenly Dao Civilization was named the Heavenly Civilization.

Although it was also Level 80, it had never put out Ninth Phase items for trade.

The difference between the two was obvious.

Auer Civilization probably already had strength comparable to the early Ninth Phase.

However, unexpectedly, Auer Civilization did not make any moves.

Heavenly Civilization did not make any moves either.

They seemed to be waiting for something.

"They should be waiting for our level to truly reach Level 77." Dong Gong brought the analysis department’s hypothesis.

It was evident that the Trial Civilization Alliance was more arrogant than Human Civilization initially expected.

They indeed valued Human Civilization, but not significantly so.

However, that was a good thing.

The current strength of Human Civilization was still somewhat weak.

"How long is it expected to take to reach Level 77?" Shen Hao asked.

"About nine hundred years."

The difficulty of progressing from Level 76 to Level 77 was even greater than progressing from Level 77 to Level 78.

Because this level was actually divided based on the domains of the Transcendent.

Between Level 76 and Level 77, there was a leap-like qualitative change.

Therefore, the technological progression cycle needed to be longer.

There was still a fifteen-hundred-year window period for Human Civilization, nine hundred years to complete the leap to the late Eighth Stage, and the remaining six hundred years to reach Level 78.

That would catch up to the Civilization Mall’s level.

This was the planned progress.

"Time planning needs to be as compact as possible." Shen Hao issued this order. "It hasn’t been too tight before, but now it’s different. The Trial Civilization Alliance indeed noticed us. Their contempt is not a reason for us to relax, rather, we should sense the crisis."

"Understood." Dong Gong looked serious.

Shen Hao’s words were not just mere words.

It meant that Human Civilization had to adjust some of its previous strategies and start applying external pressure.

For instance, raising some indicators’ standards.

However, half of this window period had already elapsed. Considering this period as a rest period was actually sufficient.

When approaching the next trial, higher requirements had always to be imposed.

More than three hundred years later, when the second five-hundred-year summary assembly had passed for several decades, the Spiritual Power Civilization successfully reached Level 77 as well.

But it did not spark any movement from the Trial Civilization Alliance.

Obviously, the Trial Civilization Alliance did not admit just any high-level trial civilization.

They probably, as they claimed, valued the exploration of the Civilization Trial System’s loopholes more.

And at this point, Shen Hao gradually realized that the exploration of the Trial System’s loopholes was no longer limited to his personal actions.

The technology at Level 77 could already support him in analyzing cheats.

The Civilization Trial System clearly had some protection mechanisms, which were not easy to probe. But Level 77, the later stage of the Eighth Rank, could already touch the limit of these protection measures.

Just like Ming Hong before.

Now, the Heavenly Dao Civilization had essentially given up their original exploration of loopholes and turned to assist Human Civilization in exploration.

The primary cheat being explored was the points hack.

Indeed, although Shen Hao’s cheat panel had more than ten types of confirmed usable cheats, the points hack had brought the greatest help to Human Civilization so far.

The previous twentyfold multiplier, in Shen Hao’s view, was far from the limit.

The intelligence information provided by the cheat panel after open-sourcing confirmed this.

The exploitation of this loophole was actually very simple.

It involved changing the Civilization Trial System’s judgment of the number of enemies Shen Hao killed, multiplying the numbers by twenty.
