Born Sacred

Chapter 264: Virtual Butler

After all, accumulating 1,000,000 Contribution Points was no easy task, and most ordinary civilizations would likely be destroyed by waves of Disaster invasions long before reaching that amount.

With 700,000 Merit Points deducted, the two population-wide rewards immediately descended upon Blue Star.

These population-wide rewards were different from other rewards. Noah could purchase them at any time after entering the Civilization Convergence Zone.

Logically speaking, it would have been better to purchase them later, because the later the purchase was made, the more Awakeners on Blue Star would have advanced to higher tiers, maximizing the benefits of the population-wide rewards.

On Blue Star, some people held the same opinion.

They posted on the Transcendent Forum, hoping that Noah would postpone claiming the population-wide rewards for as long as possible, preferably waiting until they had advanced to Tier 2 or the Third Order to maximize the benefits.

However, they were immediately lambasted by even more people.

Most of those people were parents.

Naturally, they wanted the population-wide rewards to arrive as early as possible in order to increase the probability of awakening advanced Talents.

That way, the chances of their children awakening advanced Talents would also become higher.

Attribute loss was relatively easy to make up for, but once a Talent was determined, improving it later would be extremely difficult.

As the Child of Civilization, Noah naturally placed greater importance on the probability of awakening advanced Talents.

As for the loss of attributes, that was unavoidable. It was impossible to satisfy everyone.

At the very least, most Awakeners still had the opportunity to work hard and improve themselves, while children under the age of sixteen did not even have the chance to advance.

Therefore, Noah never delayed.

Whenever he obtained a population-wide reward, he claimed it immediately.

...

Afterward, Noah turned his attention to real estate.

A panoramic view instantly appeared before him, displaying all the properties available for purchase.

Areas such as the mansion district where Valdrik lived required higher Contribution Points, so they were naturally unavailable to him.

The prices ranged from 500,000 to 2,000,000 Merit Points.

The more expensive the property, the longer one could stay in the Civilization Convergence Zone.

A property worth 2,000,000 Merit Points allowed its owner to stay for 48 hours, exactly double the normal duration.

Noah did not care much about the length of stay, and he did not have many Merit Points left anyway, so he quickly selected a house worth 500,000 Merit Points and purchased it.

A house at that price extended his maximum stay to 36 hours.

His small goal of buying a house had finally been achieved.

Originally, Noah had planned to purchase a house in the Civilization Convergence Zone within a year, but after destroying a Small Calamity, he had risen straight to the top.

After completing the purchase, Noah opened the special panel and saw that a property had been added.

By clicking on it, he could either view the model of the house or teleport directly back to it.

"Teleport."

With a flash of light, Noah disappeared from the System Store and appeared inside a bedroom.

The bedroom was very spacious, but there was nothing inside. It was simply a bare shell.

"Esteemed Master, The Virtual Butler is at your service."

A ball of light appeared before Noah. It was the so called Virtual Butler.

Looking at the sci-fi styled Virtual Butler, Noah nodded and asked, "What function do you have."

The ball of light replied, "Esteemed Master, you may use me to decorate the house and choose your preferred style.

You may also freely adjust my appearance characteristics.

While you are away, I will record visitor information, receiving incoming mail and perform other related tasks."

Simply put, it functioned as a butler.

Noah listened and revealed a satisfied expression.

In the Civilization Convergence Zone, there was no friend system, making communication between civilizations rather troublesome.

After all, one could only enter once every seven days, and the duration of stay was limited.

If they happened to miss each other because of something happening in reality, meeting again would become difficult.

However, owning a house was equivalent to having a fixed base.

People could leave messages there and arrange the time for their next meeting.

"Contact the Virtual Butler at this address and inform Valdrik of my residential address."

Noah recited the address of the Great Wilderness Civilization’s mansion.

Communication between Virtual Butlers was relatively simple.

Speaking of which, Noah had never seen the Virtual Butler in that mansion before. He did not know whether their form of existence was special, preventing him from seeing them, or whether Valdrik simply lacked the authority to use one.

"Esteemed Master, the contact has been completed."

The Virtual Butler quickly finished the task.

"Does adjusting your appearance and decorating the house require additional charges?"

Looking at the plain ball of light, Noah felt somewhat eager to experiment.

"Esteemed Master, all such services are free."

"That’s good."

Noah nodded. The Civilization Convergence Zone was actually fairly considerate and not much of a scam.

The 500,000 Merit Points covered all these services rather than just providing a simple empty shell.

Without delay, Noah immediately got to work.

The house was only seventy square meters, roughly the same size as his previous residence, so he simply adjusted it to resemble his old home.

With a flash of light, the bare shell underwent a tremendous transformation.

Furniture such as a bed, TV, and computer appeared one after another, and the layout was exactly the same as his original residence.

"You should change as well."

Under Noah’s adjustments, the ball of light quickly transformed into a classical-style young girl wearing a green dress, and even her voice became gentle and pleasant.

If he had the option, he would naturally choose something more pleasing to the eye.

"From now on, your name will be Ray."

Noah instructed.

"Yes, Master."

Ray responded respectfully.

The stay time was extended by 12 hours, so Noah was not in a hurry to return.
