Chapter 99 A Leap to Level 11 Products
As soon as the White Level 11 Mall opened, Shen Hao first checked the total points requirement for the next level.
As expected, it was an entire ten billion points.
With this number, it would become the primary path for all civilizations to focus on accumulating points onto a single individual as much as possible.
At least, it would be the main path in the early stages.
It's unknown if this will change later on.
Shen Hao then looked at the specific content within the mall.
The foundational knowledge on the three paths of civilization had all been further strengthened.
It was no longer just the basic cultivation methods and basic extraordinary means, but had moved up a few tiers.
For instance, in the path of cultivation, there appeared "Basics of Crafting Magical Treasures," "Learning Alchemy from Scratch," and in the path of magic, there also appeared "Creation of Magic Devices" and "The One Hundred and Eight Precautions of Potion Making" among other fundamental knowledge products.
They were still pricey, but for civilizations that had just started down these two paths, they were incredibly valuable.
Beyond that, the tiers of the other products had clearly risen considerably.
It's difficult to evaluate the goods in the paths of cultivation and magic due to a lack of precise understanding, but in technology, there was an obvious increase!
For example—a ready-made production line for exoskeleton armor!
And blueprints for the production of full-body driving armor!
Large-scale nuclear-powered propulsion engines!
Deflection field city anti-air defenses!
...
The most expensive item among these was the city anti-air defense system, which according to its description, could cause most physical air strike weapons not exceeding the speed of Mach thirteen to deviate and forcefully avoid cities.
And this was still just some of the technologies and products closely related to the military.
The items released for civilian use were even more exaggerated.
Even blueprints for civilian floating engines could be found!
Cancer cure technology, artificial organ technology, high-strength alloy technology...
It basically covered all different domains such as biology, information, machinery, and power, etc.
Although, admittedly, to actually produce these real-world technological goods, one must reach the technological foundation and industrial level required by the technical specifications, but given the pre-existing high-tech foundation of human civilization, some blueprints can be rapidly applied, even directly into the current war!
Moreover, in the other two paths of civilization, there were also products that piqued Shen Hao's interest.
For example, an item named [Malice Crystal].
It could detect if others harbored any strong malice within a certain range.
The crystal wasn't expensive, and could perfectly serve as an excellent alternative to the Spirit Testing Ball.
Dong Gong had also reported that one of the biggest problems at the front was still in differentiating the Blood Demon.
When Blood Demons concealed their identities and disguised themselves, it was very difficult to distinguish them from humans; the front had already experienced the Blood Demons pretending to be friendly forces to get close and then launching surprise attacks more than once.
Although Spirit Testing Balls and detection devices had been widely distributed to the front lines, their principles of detection were based on the detection of Extraordinary Creatures, which was too monotonous.
During detection, Chosen Ones or those carrying weapons and equipment of the Extraordinary Domain would also be detected.
Clearly, once the "Parasite Loser Army" entered the battlefield, the use of these items would become even more difficult.
In comparison, the Malice Crystal could not only accurately distinguish the enemy on the front lines but also serve as an early warning mechanism.
Preventing covert attacks.
Obviously, it would be better.
Besides that, the resources for increasing personal strength had also seen significant improvement.
Even accessories used to assist in cultivation began to appear.
For instance, Spirit Gathering Arrays, Meditation Crystals, Body Tempering Potions.
"Level 10 is indeed a breakthrough tier," Shen Hao remarked as he viewed the array of products, confirming his speculations.
After all, the goods available after a job change would definitely differ from those before.
If the tech level of previous tiers could still be considered the near future, the current one had reached the true meaning of the future, at least the technology level two hundred years from now.
By comparison, the products from the other two paths should be on a similar level.
He suddenly remembered that today was also the day of the VIP mall reset and couldn't help but feel more anticipatory.
Having interacted with more Blue Quality products over time, Shen Hao now understood that the Level represents a whole tier of technology, while Quality indicates a higher application of this technological tier.
For example, if derived from the same tier of technology considered Level 5 civilization, an ordinary mass-produced civilian-use Gauss rifle is just White Level 5.
But a military Gauss rifle would be Blue Level 5.
An aircraft-mounted Gauss cannon would be Purple Level 5.
And an enormous Gauss heavy cannon used on super-large military installations like aircraft carriers would be Golden Level 5!
Even without a revolutionary difference in civilization tiers, the power difference between different Qualities is immense.

Upgrading to the White Level 11 Mall means that in the VIP level 1 VIP Mall, there is also a chance for Blue Level 11 items to appear! Some of them even offer permanent unlock permissions for unlimited purchases.
Shen Hao immediately opened it.
At first glance, he was drawn to a Blue Level 9 product.
Not only because the product sold unlock permissions but also because it was the first time a biological product had appeared!
Indeed, the image showed a lively looking gray-white mouse.
[Product Name: Ice Gray Rat]
[Product Quality: Blue Elite]
[Product Level: Level 9]
[Points: 1000 for 30,000 points]
[This is an extremely cost-effective battle familiar. It's quick and agile, capable of exhaling a frigid white mist that rapidly freezes prey. It's a great helper for capturing prey and keeping it fresh and is even a favorite pet for cooling off in the summer. A thousand units come in a group, and controlling the swarm precisely only requires a contract with the rat king.]
[Note 1: The intelligence of the individuals, other than the rat king, is low and their magic power is volatile, so be careful of frostbite when touching them.]
[Note 2: They can be bred in large quantities, but the level of the offspring will depend on the magic power level in their growing environment.]
"This kind of battle familiar... averages thirty points each?" Shen Hao carefully read through the detailed introduction and couldn't help but be amazed.
Even if it took eight Ice Gray Rats to kill a Blood Demon, it would still be a huge profit!
You should know that the automated weapons he had previously purchased, even if they required basic firing orders from humans, would provide him with more points feedback!
Some highly automated robots even offered feedback that could approach eighty percent!
They would be judged by the system as mainly killed by him.
Presumably, these biological products would be the same!
With the points hack giving double points, if it took eight Ice Gray Rats to exchange for one Blood Demon, he would break even!
Anything less would be a huge profit!
Even if he couldn't break even, just the fact that it could increase the total accumulated number of points was already a win.
"It's worth a try," Shen Hao had already decided to buy a group to test.
More importantly, now that the mall has even started carrying these kinds of biological items, who knows what products will appear in the future.
Shen Hao then turned his attention to other types.
There were no Blue Level 11 unlock products, but there was a one-time purchase, Blue Level 11 product that caught Shen Hao's eye.
Although it could only be purchased once, it was a blueprint item.
For a technology blueprint item, even if you unlock it, you only need to buy it once!
What's more important is the product itself.
It was an extremely potent armed drone.
Only the size of a motorcycle, though it used miniaturized jet flight technology, the introduction stated that the drone's most valuable feature was actually its powerful intelligent program!
It can understand various commands with precision, has strong friend-or-foe recognition, and powerful combat analysis capabilities, and can even flexibly calculate trajectories and dodge attacks.
The annotation was just four words.
——City Killer!
These four words alone could let one imagine the excellent combat capabilities of this small drone.
Equipped with freezing bullets or other Blood Demon-specific weapons, it definitely has the potential to become a nightmare for Blood Demons!
It's just not known whether, with current human industrial technology, there is the possibility of mass production.
However, some components that can't be produced can also be directly purchased from the mall.
The worst case is that energy can't be produced, and materials and chips are worse off, but it's still much cheaper than buying the entire drone.
All in all, Shen Hao was very satisfied with the mall update.
Whether it's the White Level 11 Mall or the few items refreshed in the VIP mall, they all have a high application environment.
"I wonder if a higher VIP level like VIP2 or even higher will have even better products," he thought somewhat insatiably.
But he didn't waste time. While buying potentially useful products, he also got in touch with Dong Gong.
Just the barest description of some products was enough to clearly feel Dong Gong's joy from his side.
"This drone's intelligent program, perhaps with a simple modification, could be directly installed into our existing drones!" he said directly, "You have already provided some lower-level drone production technology before. Even if it's not as refined as this new one, we're already producing them in large quantities.
If we can apply this intelligent program, we can quickly deploy a large number on the battlefield in a short time!"
The war's backdrop was actually far from as simple as what the ordinary soldiers could see.
It had become a comprehensive test for every aspect of civilization!
In places unseen by the common people, talents from all fields around the world were coming together, especially in the industrial field. Human civilization was digesting the technologies brought by the Chosen One Mall at an incredible speed and was bursting with powerful potential for warfare.
Every day, countless factories were starting production, and the various supplies invested in the battlefield were doubling, the number of weapons each soldier received was increasing every day, and various new weapons were continuously put into the battlefield.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Once a type of weapon was validated through actual combat, it would enter a mode of frenzied production!
Drones were one of them.
