I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

"As for the malice of other civilizations... which civilization would dare to approach this place as long as that monster outside is not eliminated? You don’t think that human civilization could leap into the Safe Zone and attack us, do you?"

This statement was indeed a fact.

Even if humans were a civilization harboring malice, helping them exterminate the anomaly outside would actually be a good thing.

Moreover, could any civilization truly kill such a fearsome existence?

The Rize Civilization maintained a skeptical attitude.

"My friends, don’t think that the Safe Zone is forever safe,"

"We are now in the Ninth Epoch, you need to think about where the civilizations of the previous eight epochs are now? Why can’t we ever observe their existence?"

Leon’s argument was logical and well-founded, silencing the group once again.

Of course, there was another important point: connections could be made privately.

If you all disagree, our Seventh Branch can make private contact with humans!

After all, the other cities couldn’t stop it.

Under such circumstances, even the reluctant city leaders had no choice but to agree, holding their noses.

"Tado, ask for the human civilization’s code."

"Okay, I’ve received it…"

[Connecting with human civilization… Please wait…]

The numerous Rize people in the room waited patiently and anxiously.

…

...

It was the 1682nd day of the Ninth Epoch on the Pangu Continent, which actually equated to only a mere 16.8 days in Safe Zone time.

Some civilizations were in dire straits, feeling the true terror of the Pangu Continent immediately.

Others, out of necessity, stepped out of the Safe Zone, embarking on a new journey… perhaps they would soon be extinct, or perhaps they would grow stronger.

As for humans, they were a relatively moderate civilization, without too many stories happening, nor any anomalies attacking.

16.8 days, in fact, didn’t change much.

Most of the cities still hadn’t stabilized, they didn’t even achieve the relatively easy-to-trigger milestone of a "Stable City."

Other human cities were still searching for the "Extraordinary Spark."

It must be admitted that, compared to Lu Yuan’s difficult and perilous journey, the progress bar on the human side had indeed moved slowly, almost at a snail’s pace.

…

…

Human’s Sixth Branch, New York City.

After half a month of turmoil, sporadic zero-cost purchases were still ongoing.

New York City had abundant agricultural and forestry resources, and with its advantageous position on the Pangu Continent, the immediate concerns of food and clothing were really not a problem.

For the rulers, the more troublesome issue was the vast, aimless army of the unemployed, the millions of jobless wanderers bringing all kinds of criminal incidents, which exceeded the city rulers’ ability to manage.

Within half a month, this bustling metropolis had turned into Gotham City, with rampant crime phenomena.

Especially the superpower crimes, which had become the most headache-inducing topic.

Because of the scarcity of oil, large-scale mechanized planting was impossible, and several major tycoons tried everything to continuously send unemployed individuals to the countryside to farm... Well, it was difficult, but it had to be done!

…

At this moment, Franklin Supernatural Research Institute.

A man and a woman were sitting in front of a screen, studying the relevant theoretical knowledge.

The man was black, named Froide, and had the Chinese tattoo "操我" on his arm.

He had come to the institute for a reason.

On this day, Froide was enjoying a free meal with a few good buddies.

Chaos is not the abyss, chaos is a ladder, and for people like them, life seemed to be manageable, with free zero-cost activities wherever they went.

Suddenly hearing that the city was collecting information about superpower users, especially those with the Extraordinary Spark ability, who would become city heroes and get everything they desired!

"No matter where you come from, no matter where you go, no matter what kind of person you are, you can become the hero you imagine yourself to be."

"Join us, become a part of the superheroes! Stabilize the city, make M Country great again!"

Upon reflection, Froide realized he had a decent chance, so he came to apply.

Because he indeed possessed the "Extraordinary Spark."

And… he wanted women, beautiful women!

As for the woman beside him, exuding a rotten smell, her mind seemed unclear.

Even Froide secretly despised her; this woman would do anything for a bite, oh God, that smell was really like Granny Kara’s unwashed toilet for three years!

"This person could also become a city hero? What a bullshit plan," he thought, his nostrils flaring with disdain.

But he had to admit, this woman indeed possessed the Extraordinary Spark—well, sometimes God might specifically indulge in black humor, basically every city had at least one Extraordinary Spark, but who could guarantee that this precious spark wouldn’t end up on a wretched person?

God did not care about these matters.

A civilization that produces bad people must bear its own burden.

A few staff members in white lab coats broadcasted a video on the big screen.

The leading elderly gentleman was none other than the famous Professor Edward, who said pleasantly, "Ladies and gentlemen, as long as you can learn this method and spread the Spark, you will be the true heroes of the city."

"Whatever you want, we will provide for you. We will never let down our heroes because that is our promise."

Edward’s smile was warm, but his heart was filled with anxiety because neighboring Yunhai City had already surpassed them by half a month’s progress!

They already had several hundred Extraordinary Sparks!

What about them? Two!

Froide did not understand Lu Yuan’s Chinese, but the video had already been translated.

As he listened, the black man’s brows furrowed slightly; it turned out that this ability could be taught to others.

Although he had never attended college, he wasn’t stupid, and he thought to himself, "Damn God, to think there’s such a set-up. If I pass my abilities on, how can I be a city hero?"

"If everyone is Spiderman, then what’s the value of the original Spiderman?!"

"You really are a bunch of scammers. Damn it, I should not have come here."

He was entirely reluctant to learn and indicated that he simply couldn’t master this technique!

Another woman was even worse off because, due to her lack of cognitive ability and scattered attention, she completely failed to understand what Lu Yuan was saying...

All she wanted was a single chance.

This situation greatly troubled Professor Edward; what kind of worthless people were these!

He had to make a phone call and report the current difficulties he faced.

"Give that black man another chance."

"He is a person of color. As long as he cooperates, we will grant him a status and let him become part of their ethnic management layer."

"That woman is beyond help, do not wait. When she acts up, have her forcefully transmit the Spark." The voice on the other end of the phone was somewhat cold.

"But her Spark Energy is already very low, forcibly transmitting the Spark might… cause her to die outright." Edward hesitated, lowering his voice.

The Extraordinary Fire represented a person’s Spiritual Energy, and once extinguished, it could result in immediate death or reduction to a vegetative state, never to awaken again!

The voice on the phone said, "Anyway, we have two Sparks; losing one is acceptable. The most crucial thing is that the Spark must be quickly controlled in our own hands, we can’t fall behind any further."

"Did you choose well, the recipients of the Spark?"

Edward paused for a moment, "We have chosen well; it’s a special forces team captain who is also part of the city heroes program, absolutely reliable."

The tone on the phone became slightly lighter, "What about the Pathfinding Project, any progress?"

Edward replied, "We still do not know whether Lu Yuan is alive… but this project does not require the expenditure of many resources, just the consumption of some manpower."

"The combination of several Divine Skills is humanity’s first. This exploratory process is very beneficial for future studies."

"Since you think there’s no problem, then continue."

After hanging up the phone, Edward let out a light sigh.

He was originally a professor deeply devoted to academia, but once entangled with politics, he always seemed to fall involuntarily into the depths of darkness.

As for the city hero plan… it indeed exists, for the stability of the city, each ethnicity will have its own ’city hero’ quota, managing their own, which is the most direct method.

So he prepared to sincerely persuade the black man not to be too clever.

You can be replaced at any time; it’s just your turn in the spotlight now.

...

A few hours later.

The woman who used drugs died, and the Spark transferred to a special forces member.

This was a muscular, sturdy man whose ability was "Strong", a passive ability that allowed his strength, endurance, agility, immunity, and metabolic rate all to reach "human limits."

With the Extraordinary Spark, he was further able to break through these limits extensively.

"New York Captain," at this moment, was officially born!

Behind him stood several teammates, including a Spider Ability owner capable of shooting spider silk, a Steel Ability owner with a body as hard as steel, a Fury Ability owner, and others, all of whom were emotionally excited, loudly congratulating.

This was the "New York City" stability plan!

Becoming a stable city like Yunhai City was impossible.

After all, the cultural systems of the two places were vastly different.

But now, through the "superhero" plan to stabilize the city, that was possible.

New York City still wanted to achieve the "Stable City" milestone... even if a bit late, but squeezing into the top 100,000 isn’t bad at all.

Professor Edward, seeing the first Fire Transmitter appear, gently exhaled a sigh of relief. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Suddenly, he heard a young doctor’s exclamation beside him, "Professor! Professor! Another alien civilization has initiated contact with us!!"
