Chapter 355: Eternal Power Core Blueprint

Light swirled, as if countless tiny runes were being born, dying, and recombining within it, and a vast, ancient aura spread outward.

【Advancement successful!】

【You have obtained the "Eternal Power Core Blueprint"!】

The name changed!

From "Device" it became "Core", and from "Fuel Evolution" it became "Eternal Power"!

Cheng Shuili suppressed her excitement and immediately examined the brand‑new blueprint radiating golden light.

【Eternal Power Core Blueprint】

【Effect: Inspired by the Civilization Spark, it transcends mere fuel‑efficiency improvement, reaching the transformation and creation of energy itself. It can forge an Eternal Power Core that can be integrated into any vehicle or faction building's energy system, serving as an almost perpetual energy source!】

【Manufacture requirements: Energy Crystal ×10, Mithril ×5, Eternal Gold Ingot ×3, Precision Components ×20, Rune ×1】

Cheng Shuili read the blueprint's description, her heart pounding.

Too strong!

This completely transcends mere fuel saving; it is a permanent energy source!

When her gaze fell on the manufacturing requirements, Cheng Shuili's eager eyes instantly cooled.

Cheng Shuili: "Huh?"

What are these?

Cheng Shuili had thought this damned place had no new materials left, but upon receiving the blueprint today…

Well, none of them are familiar.

Cheng Shuili pondered briefly, then tapped the Abyssal Ring and said, "Tell me, how to find these things."

"So you're using me again?"

The Ring Spirit responded lazily, its gaze following Cheng Shuili's to the unfamiliar materials.

Then…

There was no further reply.

Cheng Shuili raised a light eyebrow: "You don't know either, do you?"

"Of course I know!" The Ring Spirit seemed a bit impatient, weighing its words: "This energy crystal is processed from energy stones, and the others…"

"It's too early to say now; just live well, and you'll find out later."

Cheng Shuili: "……"

What on earth is this thing good for?

Never mind, after all with the Fengyun Tianxia matter, she did indeed help.

Cheng Shuili carefully stored the blueprint, still tangled over the Civilization Spark issue; there are seven fragments in total, and after using one she should still be able to synthesize them, right?

At that point, the system finally displayed a prompt.

【Civilization Spark Fragment progress: 1/7!】

It's fine as long as she can keep collecting; this incomplete item's utility is already huge, and Cheng Shuili truly looks forward to the full artifact's effect.

Her gaze fell on the final reward.

【Resource Pack: Nation's Cornerstone】

【Description: Opening grants Energy Stone ×100, Wood ×, Stone ×! The most solid logistical support, aiding your stable development.】

Compared with the unique title and that Civilization Spark, this thing looks a bit underwhelming.

Cheng Shuili went straight to her domain, intending to open the pack in the warehouse.

The faction building wasn't finished yet; a sheet was spread on the floor beside the warehouse, and a few youngsters sat cross‑legged around it, dealing a deck of cards, chatting boisterously.

As Cheng Shuili approached, someone with sharp eyes spotted her.

"Lao Da! Good evening!"

She greeted first, and the others turned their heads one by one.

"Hello, Lao Da!"

"Lao Da, have you eaten?" the person said, pulling an apple from his pocket, "Just swapped today, very fresh!"

The others weren't to be outdone: "I also swapped an apple! Lao Da, will you eat it?"

"I did buy a watermelon, but it's inside the vehicle. Lao Da, could you wait a moment? I'll go get it!"

Cheng Shuili felt a slight stir; these fruits were put up by Xinxue and Zhou Zhuxing, and these people, unaware of how many contribution points they'd spent to acquire them, were offering them to her.

She waved her hand, a faint smile on her face, "I've already eaten; you keep playing, I'll store some."

"Alright, Lao Da! Call us anytime if you need anything!"

The few didn't persist, cheerfully taking the apples back and returning to the card game.

Cheng Shuili entered the warehouse and opened the Resource Pack.

【Obtained: Energy Stone ×100, Wood ×, Stone ×!】

In the warehouse corner, piles of neatly stacked wood and stone appeared instantly, and the small heap of energy stones emitted a faint glow.

The wood and stone stayed there; Cheng Shuili placed the energy stones into the Abyssal Ring and privately messaged Xinxue, asking her to keep a proper account.

The solid feeling of resources arriving eased the slight gloom caused earlier by the unknown manufacturing materials.

She didn't disturb her subordinates' leisure time, silently returning to her own caravan.

Night had deepened, but Cheng Shuili felt no sleepiness.

She once again took out the Eternal Power Core Blueprint, her gaze lingering over the names of those unfamiliar materials.

She tapped the ring again, "Don't play dead. Give me a hint, even if it's just a direction. For example, at what stage or under what circumstances might these items be obtainable?"

The Ring Spirit was silent for a few seconds, then finally spoke slowly: "You've seen energy stones; turning them into crystals requires a higher‑grade furnace or specialized equipment. This one is relatively easy, perhaps you can find it at the Jiao Yi Zhan, though it relies heavily on luck."

"As for mithril, eternal gold, and the like…" the Ring Spirit paused, "they don't naturally form in the surface road world you inhabit. You'll need to dig deeper, or wait for the world's rules to evolve further, before you can reach the relics still hidden underground."

In other words, it hasn't reached that stage yet.

Cheng Shuili can hardly obtain those materials.

Isn't that just like the energy stone? Even though she doesn't have one, hasn't Cheng Shuili been using it for a long time?

These things… should all be obtainable, but it also requires a lot of luck.

The Eternal Power Core is good, but she already has solar panels, so for now it should be enough.

What she cares more about is that the description says it can be connected to a faction building, which means the faction building also needs power.

Thinking about it now is useless; better wait until tomorrow when the faction building is finished.

Cheng Shuili, with her eyes closed, tugged at the blanket, shifted to a comfortable position, and just as she was about to sleep, she suddenly opened her eyes.

The spirit guardian was startled by her, and for the first time spoke a bit hastily: "What's wrong?"

It must be concerned about her, right?

Thinking that, Cheng Shuili patiently answered its question.

"I upgraded my vehicle at this time yesterday, it should be almost finished. I plan to look at the upgraded vehicle before I sleep."

The spirit guardian said nothing further.

Cheng Shuili silently sat up straight, inwardly muttering that it was truly an impolite spirit guardian.

She glanced at the time; the upgrade would succeed in five minutes.

Having nothing else to do, she opened the regional channel for a quick look.
