Chapter 532: Above All Beings

What good thing could there be?

Cheng Shuili thought, and took out the few items that had just been dropped.

The reward for the faction ranking still had one "Civilization Spark (Defective)" left.

This was the second one she obtained, and the text in its description also changed to…

Huh? Why is it 3/7?

Cheng Shuili was startled, her gaze scanning the personal reward panel, and indeed saw the words "Civilization Spark (Defective)" again.

Since when has this thing become so worthless?

It's one thing for the top faction to get a reward, but the top individual also gets one?

Cheng Shuili had previously coveted this item like crazy, agonizing for a long time over which blueprint it should be used on; now, in one night, she receives two of them.

Cheng Shuili thought about it and felt she could understand.

After all, this is the server's first dual‑ranking, and if the rewards are too meager, where will the Weaving Maiden's face go?

Moreover… now she can upgrade two legendary‑quality blueprints! That's a great thing.

Cheng Shuili, excited, took out the blueprints one by one, spread them on the vehicle's floor, examined each, yet couldn't decide which to upgrade.

The last time, the "Eternal Power Core Blueprint" was the best choice, so now it's selection time again, and Cheng Shuili truly can't pick.

She stared at the spread‑out blueprints on the floor for a long while, opened the regional channel for inspiration, and finally decided to upgrade the "Simple Sunroom Blueprint" and the "Advanced Water‑Condensing Device Blueprint".

Having the Eternal Power Core Blueprint is equivalent to possessing endless energy.

And the sunroom and water‑condensing device correspond precisely to food and water sources.

Although Black Feather currently lacks neither food nor water, everyone knows these two resources will never be in surplus.

At any time, food and water are hard currency.

The more you clutch in hand, the more confidence you have when speaking.

【Are you sure you want to use the special item "Civilization Spark (Defective)" to upgrade the blueprint "Simple Sunroom Blueprint"? This operation is irreversible.】

【Are you sure you want to use the special item "Civilization Spark (Defective)" to upgrade the blueprint "Advanced Water‑Condensing Device Blueprint"? This operation is irreversible.】

"Confirm."

There's no reason to hesitate; these two blueprints are the best choices.

Perhaps because she used two Civilization Sparks at once, the moment she pressed "Confirm", an incredibly dazzling light burst before Cheng Shuili's eyes.

Cheng Shuili lowered her head, then raised her hand to shield her eyes, feeling much relief. If the Civilization Spark item is worth a million, the light it emits upon use is worth nine hundred ninety‑nine thousand.

Cheng Shuili waited patiently for a moment, and the two brand‑new blueprints finally landed in her hands.

She first looked at the first one.

【Plantation Farm Blueprint】

【Effect: Standardized agricultural production facilities that, through rational planning of planting areas and irrigation systems, significantly boost crop yields. Allows cultivation of common staple crops and vegetables, meeting players' basic food needs.】

【Base Effect: Planting area 100%, growth speed 50%, yield 50%, disease/pest resistance 30%】

【Construction Cost: Wood x2000, Stone x1000, Mythril x5, Rune x1, Water Source Access x1.】

Cheng Shuili's gaze lingered on "Mythril x5" and "Rune x1" for a moment.

These two items… she recalled also appearing in the Eternal Power Core's manufacturing requirements.

It seems that from legendary quality upward, these rare materials become standard.

These materials are all old staples, but what does "Water Source Access" mean?

While Cheng Shuili was pondering, her peripheral vision caught a line of small text behind it:

【Note: Water Source Access can be achieved via natural water sources such as rivers, lakes, etc. Basic water‑storage facilities like tanks or wells, or advanced water‑production equipment can fulfill it. Without a stable water source, the farm cannot operate normally.】

Cheng Shuili finished reading and gave a slight nod.

The setting is quite reasonable; after all, a farm can't conjure water out of thin air.

She shifted her gaze to the second blueprint.

【Centralized Water Supply Device Blueprint】

【Effect: A centralized water‑supply system composed of water pumps, purification equipment, and storage tanks that provides stable domestic water for settlements. It can draw water from natural sources and perform basic purification.】

【Base Effect: Supply volume 300%, storage capacity 200%, water quality purification 80%, coverage radius 500 m】

【Special Effect: Equipped with emergency reserve mode, can maintain water supply for 72 hours when the source is cut off】

【Construction Cost: Mythril x5, Precision Parts x50, Water Pump x1, Purification Core x3, Storage Tank x5, Rune x1】

Cheng Shuili placed the two blueprints side by side and scanned them back and forth several times.

The plantation farm needs Water Source Access, and the centralized water supply device conveniently provides it.

A perfect closed loop.

She leaned against the back of the sofa, a slight smile curling her lips.

That feeling is really nice.

Besides the Civilization Spark, the personal reward includes a title.

【Title: Above All Beings (Unique)】

【Description: The server‑wide unique symbol of personal peak strength. This title represents the supreme honor of standing atop billions of survivors, the highest proof of power and status. Only the first‑place holder of the inaugural server‑wide personal strength leaderboard can obtain it; thereafter, even if the top changes, the title remains unique and eternally recorded.】

【Wearer Effect: All attributes +20%, all resource output +20%, deterrence 300%. When the wearer enters any Instance or public area, the system automatically broadcasts "Server's Top Strongest Has Arrived" for 30 seconds, and all hostile players present receive a "Deterrence" status (all attributes -5% for the duration of the broadcast).】

All attributes increased by 20%!!

Cheng Shuili's breath paused, and she felt revitalized.

She continued to read down.

These percentage effects are all great, but when she saw "Server's Top Strongest", Cheng Shuili's mouth twitched subconsciously.

System auto‑broadcast? And it lasts 30 seconds?

She could imagine that every time she entered the instance, the whole place would fall silent, everyone staring at her.

「... This is too showy. 」

Although it was showy, the effect was indeed not bad. Cheng Shuili's finger honestly tapped to equip.

The next second, a golden light shot up from her body; even though it was blocked by the vehicle's roof, it pierced through and illuminated half the sky.

Outside the window came Xinxue's exclamation: 「Holy shit! What is that?! 」

「It's Lao Da's side! What commotion has Lao Da caused again? ！」

Cheng Shuili looked out through the car window and saw that everyone in the Black Feather camp had stopped what they were doing, all turning to look in her direction.

She silently covered her face.

This isn't over yet...

【The strongest player in the entire server has descended!!!】

The system's loud broadcast suddenly echoed throughout the camp, even penetrating the World Channel, exploding in the ears of all players currently in the Black Feather Safe Zone.

Xinxue: 「……」

Jiang Tang: 「……」

Wan Yi: 「……」
