Civilization Paradise

Chapter 164 The Wise God (Bonus Chapter for the Alliance Leader's Hypocritical Simp) (Third Update)

“Young Master Qianying, blind suppression can sometimes backfire, which goes against the city lord’s original intention and beliefs.”

At that moment, a calm and steady voice came in.

Qianying frowned slightly, then turned her head to look over.

Then, Deputy City Lord Xiao Ning walked in.

Qianying's eyes flickered slightly as she suppressed her negative emotions and spoke calmly.

"Vice City Lord Xiao Ning is right, I was rash."

"No, no, no, this is not your fault. After all, they did disturb the city lord's rest. However, the situation is very critical now, so I would like to trouble Young Master Qianying to inform the city lord again."

Xiao Ning spoke very politely to Qian Ying.

"it is good."

Qianying did not refuse and turned to go inside.

In a dark room.

Lord Qianluo lay on the bed, coughing incessantly.

Creak~
The door was slowly pushed open.

Qianying entered the bedroom and saw her father coughing violently. She quickly went over to check on him.

"Father, are you alright? Should I go and call the doctor?"

"No need, something happened outside."

Qianlu shook her head slightly, looking at Qianying with a very tired expression.

“Something strange happened last night. The matter of the Civilization Paradise can no longer be kept secret. The people outside are in a state of panic, demanding the truth, the bracelet, and to see you. Those administrative officials have lost control of the situation.”

Qianying explained the situation to Qianluo in a low voice.

"Ahem, I understand."

"Father, what should we do now?"

"Tell them to prepare a speech for the whole nation, and set the time for eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Qianlu spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Father, is this alright?"

Qianying was also taken aback by Qianluo's words.

"Since they want to know the truth, then so be it."

Qianluo's expression was very calm.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Qianying respectfully withdrew.

Soon the dimly lit room returned to silence. Lord Qianluo lay alone on the bed, his cloudy eyes flickering, his thoughts drifting back to a year ago.

Mountain City XS Secret Underground Base.

A massive metal gate, fifty meters high, cast in black metal, and two meters thick, slowly opened.

Qianying pushed City Lord Qianluo in and they were greeted by rows of giant production equipment, with workers in cleanroom suits busily at work.

At this moment, you can see huge metal pipes in the distance pumping in large amounts of black seawater. After passing through a huge special instrument, the seawater becomes very clear and is then transported away through different branch pipes.

Qianying pushed City Lord Qianluo all the way in, and the soldiers along the way saluted.

Lord Qianluo nodded slightly.

They soon arrived at the material production area, where through the isolation glass they could see rows of metal transfer channels connecting numerous pieces of equipment and instruments.

At this point, the machine at the head of the transmission tank opens the seeding port, and seeds are scattered into the transmission tank, beginning to move forward.

Then, the equipment along the way began to inject purified water into the transfer tank.

Once everything was ready, the entire glass room was suddenly illuminated by a blinding purple light.

Immediately, the seeds grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon turned into lush green vegetables.

Afterwards, these vegetables were sent to the sorting area, where staff members efficiently packaged them.

Qianlu glanced at it, a look of relief on her face.

Soon after, Qianying pushed Qianluo to the end, where a special mechanical platform came into view.

Qianying pushed Qianluo onto the elevator platform.
Qianlu said hoarsely to Qianying, "That's enough."

"Yes."

Qianying respectfully released her hand and stepped back.

At this moment, the patterns on the surface of the mechanical platform lit up, and a faint halo covered Qianluo. After confirming that the permissions were correct, the huge mechanical platform began to sink rapidly.

Finally, the mechanical platform sank to the bottom, and a black, enclosed metal door appeared in front of Qianluo.

Qianluo slowly reached out and placed her hand on the closed door.

The dark, closed door had dark red, flowing patterns on its surface.

click!
The entire enclosed door has cracked into an irregular shape.

Qianlu placed her hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, stood up shakily, and walked in with faltering steps.

The inside of the closed door was pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

At this moment, Qianlu spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Wisdom!"

shuh~
One by one, the lights suddenly turned on.

A towering mechanical pillar appeared, with a special circular mechanical device embedded in its center.

The entire mechanical device consists of three interlocking mechanical rings, inside which floats a golden sphere with a crystalline surface covered with intricate patterns, emitting a faint halo.

"Lord Qianluo, you've arrived!"

"Um, what did you want to see me about?"

"I can't breathe," Qianlu asked.

"I'm calling you to tell you that my energy is running low and I can only last for another year, seven months and three days."

Zhi Shen reminded Qian Luo.

Upon hearing Zhi Shen's words, Qian Luo's aged face twitched violently, and her expression turned extremely grim.

After the cataclysm, Earth's environment suffered severe pollution and damage, leaving very little land suitable for planting.

The reason why Shanchengshan is able to support so many people is that 90% of the food is produced through artificial intelligence, Zhishen.

The most crucial water resources are supplied through seawater purified by the artificial intelligence AI, Zhishen, and half of the electricity is also provided by Zhishen.

Once the energy of the artificial intelligence, the God of Wisdom, is exhausted, the entire mountain city and the surrounding small protective cities will be doomed.

However, Qianluo suppressed her turbulent emotions and calmly spoke to Zhishen.

"Now what?"

"If you want to keep this going, you need to give me some energy."

How to supplement it?

"There are only two ways now. One is to obtain energy from my own civilization, and the other is to collect all energy devices from other civilizations. I can convert them using the devices, but the effect will be very poor!"

"Sigh~ Obtaining energy from your civilization is simply a pipe dream. It seems there is only a second way."

"Qianluo, I need to remind you. No matter which path you choose, you will become a candidate. Although participating in the Paradise of Civilization can grant you energy and even allow you to find gene serums to extend your life, if you fail, your civilization will be completely destroyed."

The AI-powered Zhishen solemnly reminds Qianluo.

"You don't need to say anything more. Rather than sitting and waiting to die, you should fight to the death!"

Qianlu raised her head to look at the artificial intelligence, Zhishen, and said with an extremely firm expression.

"I understand, the Civilization Paradise welcomes you."

The AI, Zhishen, emitted a low voice.

Inside the rental house.

Long Ming sat at his computer desk, constantly browsing the posts on the Civilization Paradise Forum.

hum~
Suddenly, Long Ming's phone started vibrating incessantly.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it, only to see a constant stream of announcements popping up.

"Dear citizens of Shancheng Mountain, Lord Qianluo will give a public speech at the central square of Shancheng Mountain at 8:00 AM tomorrow. Shancheng Mountain will also broadcast the speech live. Please be on time to watch the speech, as there will be an important announcement."

After seeing this message, Long Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief. Everything was finally about to come to light, but he didn't know if it was good news or bad news.
