When he received the system notification, Yang Rui also received a virtual map. On the map, every county under Yang Rui's jurisdiction was marked with two options: open or closed. Moreover, there was a five percent quota for cities that could not be opened without paying a security deposit. Private territories could be opened or closed without any conditions.
As a result, Yang Rui had nothing more to say. He now had more than 100 counties under his jurisdiction, and he could choose to keep six of them closed. Grand Mountain City was Yang Rui's own territory, and he had no choice but to keep it closed.
Thus, apart from the more important six cities — Linzi City, Pingyuan City, Puyang City, Changyi City, Fenggao City, and Juancheng City — Yang Rui chose to open all the other cities. Naturally, there was no need to pay any security deposit to the system.
As for Grand Mountain City, if he were to open it up to the players, there would definitely be a lot of players who would visit the city. The income from the city would be quite high. However, Yang Rui gave up on the idea after some hesitation. No matter what, Grand Mountain City would always be Yang Rui's last base. He would not let anyone know too much about it.
The player communication system could only be used as tourists. They could not fight or engage in other normal game activities. It would not affect the normal state of the area. However, there was no way to prevent the information from spreading.
Moreover, Grand Mountain City was related to the teleportation array in Upper Ink City, Mount Tai Realm, and even Shrimp Barren Land. There was a possibility of it being exposed. Just from this point alone, Yang Rui gave up on showing it to other players.
"Huo!"
Yang Rui quickly made his choice. He focused his attention on the nineteenth floor of the Tower of Civilization and rushed toward the nest of the few remaining Second Grade mutated birds.
… …
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun for successfully breaking through the twentieth floor of the Tower of Civilization in the Three Kingdoms Region. Obtained 200 Reputation, 200 Gold Coins, and the right to draw two Silver Grade items."
An hour later, Yang Rui cleared the 20th floor of the Tower of Civilization like a hot knife through butter. Once again, he received a system notification about his reward.
This time, he went from the eleventh to the twentieth floor of the Tower of Civilization. Yang Rui had only spent half a day. It was a third of the time he took to clear the first ten floors.
It was not surprising. The eleventh to twentieth floors of the Tower of Civilization were almost identical to the first ten floors. The only difference was that the map size and number of monsters were slightly different. However, in front of Yang Rui, the difference between Second and First Grade was almost negligible.
Not only were the two levels very similar, even the pattern of the Civilization Imprints dropping was very similar. The 15th level itself dropped a Civilization Imprint. The 14th and 19th levels also dropped Civilization Imprints. The 20th level also dropped three Civilization Imprints in the territory's main entrance and the meeting room.
… …
Yang Rui had been paying attention to the collection of the Civilization Marks. Yang Rui collected all the Civilization Marks on the tenth floor and combined them into ten booklets. Now, Yang Rui had obtained the first preface of the "Mountain and Sea Scripture * True Records", five Mountain and Sea Scriptures, five Overseas Scriptures, five Internal Scriptures, and four Great Wilderness Scriptures.
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, you have collected all the preface and 20 chapters of the" Mountain and Sea Scripture * True Records "and combined them into the complete" Mountain and Sea Scripture * True Records ". Congratulations on obtaining the "Mountain and Sea Scripture * True Records". You will obtain the clue of the World Main Storyline Mission of the Origin of Civilization! "
When Yang Rui stepped into the passage of the twentieth floor of the Tower of Civilization and entered the second virtual supply layer, two system notifications came one after another. The first one was about the reward, while the second one was about obtaining the "Mountain and Sea Scripture * True Records".
"System Announcement: Congratulations to Blazing Sun for obtaining the complete" Mountain and Sea Scripture * True Records "in the Tower of Civilization. You are specially rewarded with 1000 reputation points."
When Yang Rui was thinking about how the "Mountain and Sea Scripture * True Records" was related to the world-class main storyline mission of the origin of civilization, another civilization-wide system announcement was made three times in a row.
Although the system announcement was a bit vague, it would not be detailed. However, ordinary events definitely wouldn't have a system announcement across the entire civilization region. Yang Rui was also surprised by this announcement.
However, it was not strange at all. Since the "Mountain and Sea Scripture * True Records" was related to the world-class main storyline mission of the origin of civilization, it was normal for it to be announced in the entire civilization-wide region. After the latest adjustment, the world-class main storyline mission had been put on the agenda.
Yang Rui had also received quests related to the origin of the Qiang Tribe and the origin of the Hun Tribe. Both quests had not been completed yet. Intuitively, he felt that they were related to the world-class main storyline mission of the origin of civilization. Yang Rui could not help but look through the two quests that had been in the quest tab for a long time.
At this time, Yang Rui had cleared the first twenty floors of the Tower of Civilization. It had almost taken him two game days. Yang Rui had also used up a lot of stamina and mental energy. He stopped at the second virtual supply layer and entered the inn to rest and recuperate.
When the hourglass indicated that the hourglass had turned, four hours had passed. Yang Rui looked at the thick "Mountain and Sea Scripture * True Records" in his hands, but he still had no clue. During this time, Yang Rui had been reading this new book.
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, you have entered the twenty-first floor of the Tower of Civilization. You need to obtain 40 Civilization Imprints on this floor to obtain the qualifications to enter the twenty-second floor of the Tower of Civilization.
… "
When the system's time limit was up, Yang Rui was directly teleported to the twenty-first floor of the Tower of Civilization to continue the Tower of Civilization challenge.
For some reason, Yang Rui looked at the "Mountain and Sea Scripture * True Records" left and right for a long time, but he still could not find any clues about the world-class quest.
Not only that, even though the "Mountain and Sea Scripture * True Records" was in a complete state, Yang Rui only knew that it generally introduced the various mountains, rivers, people, monsters, and so on. However, when it came to the key points, the "Mountain and Sea Scripture * True Records" recorded in a graphical mode. Yang Rui could not understand it after several attempts.
His reaction was very similar to the previous time. Every time an image appeared in the graphical mode, Yang Rui felt his mind go into a trance. It was as if he was completely attracted to it and couldn't extricate himself. So much so that Yang Rui had to give up midway several times and leave it for later to slowly study.
"Huo!"
