My God-Level System Can Rebuild Civilization in the Apocalypse!

Compared to ancient style buildings and similar housing designs, he still liked a more technological lifestyle.

After applying those filters, the total number of results still displayed as 999+, but the prices rose noticeably.

At least now they were no longer so cheap that it made him suspect there was not a single worthwhile option among them.

Ever since realizing that Bosses could also purchase equipment, Joo Joowon finally understood why some zombies dropped coins while others did not.

Some of them had probably already spent all of their money purchasing supplies from a special shop provided by the Age of Apocalypse.

Once they had spent all their coins, naturally there would be no money left to drop after they were killed.

After all, they were poor themselves.

Unfortunately, that was not good news for Joo Joowon.

It meant that even if he found a territory building he really liked, he still might not be able to save enough money within thirty days to buy it.

He could not help wondering whether it might be possible to steal someone else’s Domain Core.

The thought quietly surfaced in Joo Joowon’s mind.

After all, even the cheapest option cost ten silver coins, which was simply beyond what he could afford.

None of the Lord type Bosses Joo Joowon had encountered so far had dropped a Domain Core.

That did not necessarily mean they did not possess one.

Bosses and players did not follow the same progression path.

They very likely had entirely different methods of obtaining Domain Cores.

So what kind of Lord Boss would have a chance of dropping a Domain Core?

The moment the thought appeared, Joo Joowon immediately dismissed it.

A Lord Boss that possessed a Domain Core could not possibly lack followers.

Even if he found one, successfully taking it would be extremely difficult.

The difference between a Lord Boss who possessed a Domain Core and one who did not was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.

The Domain Core was the Lord’s second life.

As long as the Domain Core remained intact and sufficient resources were available, a Lord could achieve true immortality.

So, did that mean he could only save up money...?

Joo Joowon felt certain there had to be another way.

Even if Lord type Bosses and players did not exist on the same progression path and Bosses were born with the qualifications to become Lords, they still had to build up their territories step by step, didn’t they?

Then how did they build them?

Joo Joowon subconsciously glanced around him.

He still remembered the countless spider webs that had once covered the twelfth floor before he cleaned it.

Those webs clearly could not have been spun in a single day.

The fact that the Spider Boss had chosen to lay its eggs there also proved that it intended to settle down in that location.

That meant it had planned to build its territory there.

In other words, for Lord type Bosses, the Domain Core was probably not some incredibly precious object that required immense effort to obtain.

At most, it simply lacked the complete functions and specialized design of the Domain Cores players could purchase from the mall.

However, zombies also started with nothing.

Just how low was the entry requirement for them to decide so casually to establish a territory?

Could it be that they were able to create their own Domain Cores?!

Joo Joowon felt that he was getting very close to the truth.

He understood that player territories and Boss territories were definitely different.

Otherwise, what would separate players from NPCs?

Even so, no matter how different they were, the fundamental rules should still be the same.

That meant that, in theory, a Boss territory also had to be occupied or destroyed by destroying its Domain Core.

Then what object on a Boss could serve as its Domain Core?

Joo Joowon’s eyes flickered slightly as he reopened the mall and searched through it once more.

After looking for quite some time, he finally found an item image that displayed an actual Domain Core.

In the image, the Domain Core floated within the energy pool of a Mage Tower, radiating an intense light that practically flooded the surroundings.

It continuously drew energy from the pool to maintain the operation of the entire territory.

Through the blinding glow, Joo Joowon could just barely make out that the Domain Core itself was a crystalline object.

One example alone was not enough to prove anything.

After leaving that page, Joo Joowon continued searching through the shop over and over again.

Eventually, he finally confirmed the general appearance of a Domain Core.

Calling it a crystal was not entirely accurate.

A Domain Core was essentially an aggregate of energy.

It could take the form of almost anything.

A book.

A weapon.

A computer.

Anything could potentially serve as its vessel.

The only thing they all had in common was that the structure of the vessel had to be stable enough to support the operation of the Core.

Only then, after the Age of Apocalypse recognized the object as a Domain Core, would it avoid problems such as "short circuits," "system failure," or "shutdown."

Joo Joowon only discovered this because, as the price of the Lord’s Manors increased, some product descriptions mentioned that after sales support was included.

If the owner wished to change the appearance of the Domain Core or relocate it, the manufacturer could perform the necessary reconstruction.

In essence, the various functions and data of the Domain Core were probably nothing more than a subsystem provided by the Age of Apocalypse itself.

The object known as the Domain Core was not what truly possessed those functions.

The real source of those functions was the Age of Apocalypse.

That meant the outward appearance of the Domain Core was not important.

What truly mattered was obtaining the Age of Apocalypse’s recognition.

In Joo Joowon’s opinion, Zombie Core seemed like extremely suitable materials for creating a Domain Core.
