Endless Extraction in a Game-Like World

Chapter 92: Claiming the Mythical Grade Performance Resource Points! Tier 2 Upgrade Available

[Ding!]

[The Domain has undergone a change.]

[In the wilderness, monsters will start spawning with MODS equipped.]

[Ding!]

[The Domain will make random events appear across the map. Participating will allow one to obtain various rewards, including mods and mod fragments.]

[Ding!]

[The merged region you are in is now merging with another merged region, evolving into a Region Cluster A1-A2. Your side is A1. A1 is considered one cluster, A2 another.]

[Beware. If you still have not unified the region cluster yet, now is the best time to do it. Merged global chat will open in an hour. Region wars might start at any moment.]

As soon as Caelus appeared, the sky violently cracked. The sun in the sky began to merge with another one once again as new terrains and buildings rapidly formed.

[Ding! You have merged with a merged region and formed Region Cluster 1A.] 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Caelus." Sylvia looked up at the shifting sky, her hands instinctively wrapping tight around his arm,

"Yep. Let’s go," Caelus mumbled as they both teleported back to the town.

Everyone had gathered here, including the other NPCs.

Now, the NPCs in the town were even more active and livelier than before.

They were now no different from the humans of the Azure Origin Planet. They had their own dedicated souls, and more importantly, they could rank up and even level up exactly like the players. Now, finding rare talents in the domain was very much possible.

"Another merged region already? It is going too fast."

"We just advanced to the Middle Expanse. I am not prepared for this."

"This mod thing, I want some for myself as well."

"I wonder, does our Boss 555 have a mod?"

"Probably. He was way too strong for our server. Maybe he found mods early?"

"Man, mods are very cool. I hope I can get it done."

"By the way, is it just me, or does our town have way too many people?"

"We do, even I am surprised."

"I wonder where they come from."

"Look at the gate, more and more are coming in. At this rate, the Boss might have to expand the town."

The town was incredibly active. Some people were discussing the recent update, while others were chatting away with the NPCs, whom they now knew were real people. The players treated the NPCs who had put down stalls here before with much more respect.

Now they all possessed auras. Some in the town were even as powerful as Iron II.

"Not bad. By the time we were sleeping, the population doubled... no, quadrupled," Caelus noted.

Sylvia pressed herself flush against his back, silently staking her claim on him amidst the growing crowd. Her crimson eyes dared anyone to come too close to her property.

[Population: 52,904]

The population had increased by leaps and bounds. There were a lot of people in the city now thanks to the Rookie God title they possessed. Its effects had already taken root while they were away.

"This is a good thing." Caelus let out a laugh as he checked the town funds.

[Town Funds: 15,039]

"In a day." Caelus was highly amused.

[Beast materials: 160,438]

[Wood: 43,945]

[Ores: 63,392]

Then, Caelus checked his resource points.

[Resource Points: 470]

[Ding!]

[You have weeks of resource points left unclaimed.]

"I almost forgot about this." Caelus shook his head. Last time, he was entirely focused on transitioning to the mana-punk era. Now he finally had the time to extract the resource points.

The resource points the town received daily were based on its performance, with Mythical being the absolute highest tier.

[You have obtained the resource points backlog: 470 -> 1,120]

[You have been hitting the Mythical grade performance threshold every day for 10 days consecutively.]

[+500 additional resource points]

[Resource Points: 1,620]

And at the same time, he noticed a system warning.

[Now that the beings in your town have a soul, you need to account for them. The domain has become more realistic. Please initiate a task for NPCs to form citizenship in the city.]

[All the beings have a favorable impression of you due to you being a Rookie God. All NPCs want to live in your town.]

[Ding!]

[Your town is too congested.]

[Please increase your size.]

[2x increment (not recommended) : 50 resource points]

[+4 area for barracks (ground and wall)]

[5x increment : 100 resource points]

[+8 area for barracks]

[10x increment : 500 resource points]

[+16 area for barracks]

Seeing this, Caelus bought the 10x increment without hesitation.

Immediately, the town began shifting. The territory began to rapidly expand, and soon, it was ten times its original size. It was vast enough to hold 200,000 people at once.

He would not have to worry about space for a long time.

Then he issued quests to the non-players to make cabins, followed by quests to build more barracks.

He also decided to add in a quest to plant his auto-harvesting field. He had gotten this blueprint from Maple Town but never had the chance to use it until now.

[Ding!]

[You have the Rookie God title.]

[You can hasten the quest completion of other players by adding in resource points as long as requirements are met.]

[If you add in 600 resource points, all the quests will be completed.]

[Ding!]

[You are a Rookie God!]

[You only need to spend 300 resource points.]

"There is such a thing?" Caelus was taken aback.

But if such a mechanic existed, wasn’t that for the better?

Without hesitation, he paid the amount.

[Resource Points -300]

[Resource Points updated: 820]

Instantly, golden light shone across the town as barracks and cabins rapidly formed. Resources automatically began to consume themselves as all the cabins upgraded and slowly manifested for the non-players.

[Ding!]

[You have met the condition for a Tier 2 town.]

Tier 2.

Caelus smiled seeing this.

"Now we can level the cabins to level 3."

However, just then, the sky above the domain suddenly turned pitch black, and a violent storm began to brew.

[Ding!]

[The Beast God has noticed your town’s existence.]

[He who defied the spawns of the Beast God will face his wrath.]

[Defensive mode initiated.]

[The town is under attack!]

[Initiating quests.]

[Protect the town.]

[If you fail to protect it, then the town will be destroyed.]
