Chapter 4, The New Alliance Government

As for the military's use of missiles and artillery to eliminate monsters, in the early stages of the disaster, humanity relied on these firearms to combat the monsters. However, it soon became apparent that while they could quickly eliminate those mid- to low-level monsters, they were unable to achieve a crushing effect against truly powerful monsters, only managing to injure and provoke them

The forelimbs touched the ground, and the large purple creature swayed its body and retreated under the sofa, while the centipedes curled up together, hiding on the cold floor

Gao Peng recalled that a shocking incident had occurred on Earth a year ago, when a renowned high-tech company on Earth spent a significant amount of money to hire a top-tier envoy, who possessed two extremely powerful leader beasts.

Even more terrifying is that there are fissures on this planet leading to other worlds. Although the information regarding those worlds is a deep taboo among the upper echelons of humanity, it is akin to a sharp sword hanging high above, reminding humanity that a crisis could strike at any moment, and they are not completely safe.

One can only infer that a certain type of monster may inhabit a particular area based on the currently collected information regarding monster behaviors and observations.

Moreover, the majority of monsters killed by missile artillery are reduced to a pile of minced flesh, with most materials already shattered. Only a portion of the hard materials and the cores within the monsters can be preserved. Therefore, the strategy of farming low-level monsters in large quantities to obtain materials is not feasible.

With the worry of a person from Qi fearing the sky, Gao Peng lay drowsily on the sofa, while the large purple creature swayed its antennae and then sluggishly crawled into the bedroom. Its massive pincers grasped the blanket on the bed and laboriously dragged it to the living room. The dark purple carapace shook and rubbed against itself, producing a crisp ringing sound, like a taut arrow being drawn back!

Two antennae on the top of the head drooped and lay limply on the surface of the head shell, the eyes became lifeless, and it fell into a state of sleep

Credit points are a form of advanced currency based on alliance coins, which can be directly exchanged for alliance coins, with 10,000 alliance coins being exchangeable for 1 credit point

Indeed, it was precisely by relying on the large number of crystal cores obtained in the early stages that the initial batch of beast tamers among humanity rapidly grew stronger, collectively resisting monsters and safeguarding the human homeland

Before this envoy ventured deep into the forest, no one would have imagined that at the center of this seemingly ordinary forest, there existed a dragon of possibly royal caliber!

Among the materials required for the promotion of high-quality purple items, the most expensive is the crystal core from monsters with lightning attributes of level 10 and above, with prices starting at a minimum of 10 credit points

Various terrains underwent dramatic changes, and the planet once familiar to humanity suddenly became strange.

The surface area of the entire planet has expanded several times! Moreover, this value continues to increase at a gradual rate!

However, two days after the envoy led his two summoned beasts deep into the jungle, an incredibly terrifying dragon roar erupted from within the forest. The footage captured by drones in the sky clearly showed that at the center of this towering forest filled with giant trees, an immensely fearsome creature raised its head— a dragon

Until now, the center of that forest remains a forbidden zone, and no one dares to venture deep into it. Even those who enter do so only to hastily pass through the outskirts, fearing to disturb the terrifying presence located at the heart of the forest

Having the intention to promote to a high rank, Gao Peng temporarily abandoned this idea after reviewing the prices of the materials required for the promotion. Currently, just the daily meat expenses for the high rank are causing Gao Peng considerable financial strain, leaving him feeling somewhat helpless.

Two years after the catastrophe, as the residual effects of the turbulence in the sky gradually stabilized, humanity began to launch satellites once again. It was at this time that people realized that the Earth had become unfamiliar to them.

The large purple rose upright, tightly holding onto the quilt in its mouth, and then the quilt was dragged and thrown onto Gao Peng.

Currently, the currency used by ordinary residents is primarily the Alliance Coin. The main users of Credit Points are the Envoys, major consortiums, and high-ranking officials of the Alliance government. It is said that for the truly top-tier powerhouses, Credit Points are merely a number; those top powerhouses prefer to engage in barter.

In this new era, the capabilities of monsters are incredibly diverse, and the materials found on these monsters far exceed most of the various metallic and polymer materials on Earth, and even surpass them by a considerable margin

Therefore, the acquisition of each monster crystal core is not easy, which has resulted in the consistently high prices of monster crystal cores

The materials on these monsters are of immeasurable value, but obtaining them is not an easy task. This is not a game, but a tangible reality where there are no respawns and no health potions; death is final. To acquire certain materials from a monster, one must venture deep into the wilderness, and even into other worlds, to engage in life-and-death battles with these creatures.

The materials required by high-tech companies are merely the materials obtained from an ordinary leader-level monster.

The credit point is a high-level currency unified after all countries on Earth united to form the New World Alliance two years ago. All previous currencies of the countries on Earth have been abolished, and two types of currency are now uniformly used as stipulated by the New World Alliance government: Alliance currency and credit points

The monster crystal cores can be devoured and absorbed by monsters to promote their evolution, which has long been a publicly known secret. Therefore, no matter how many monster crystal cores there are, they are never enough.

The areas inhabited by humans have not undergone significant changes; what has truly changed are the forests, rivers, and valleys that humans seldom tread after the disasters, the regions that are rarely visited. Viewed from space, the Earth has completely transformed into a green planet

The black iron-colored spiral horn at the top of its forehead indicates that this giant beast is not a true dragon. With a single horn on its head, according to the classification in ancient Chinese mythology, it should merely be a horned dragon.

The mythical beasts of ancient legends have truly descended upon the human world

Nevertheless, the footage captured by this drone has shocked the entire world

Prior to this, the highest level of monsters discovered in this forest was only at the leader level, and not a single lord-level monster was found. This event served as a wake-up call, making people around the world aware of the unpredictability of the wilderness

The fervor surrounding this matter completely overshadowed all significant events occurring in the world at that time. Humanity was engrossed in discussions about this issue, with some expressing panic, others excitement, and still others harboring ambitious aspirations. However, the powerful envoy who entered the forest was never able to emerge from it again

With the occurrence of disasters, humanity has also discovered that the Earth is continuously growing and expanding. Due to the reasons at the onset of the great catastrophe, all satellites in the sky were destroyed, preventing humanity from observing the changes of the Earth from above

Moreover, during the journey, one may inadvertently encounter various unexpected events, for this is not a game dungeon! There are no monsters that remain fixed in a certain location; it is possible to encounter a king-level monster in an ordinary countryside setting, although the odds of this happening are similar to winning the first prize in the lottery for a consecutive month.
