Chapter 598: The Centennial Plan and Rewards! (Please vote for monthly tickets)

The orange cat beside Inspector Envoy Tu Lan waved its paw, once again projecting a massive amount of text and image data.

She then continued her introduction:

"There are many benefits to having high-level civilization potential; for instance, a vast amount of basic scientific technology, pharmaceutical formulas, and the like can be authorized for your use free of charge."

"Otherwise, relying solely on your own research might take hundreds or even thousands of years, and even purchasing the corresponding technology would require a massive amount of Deep Space Coins."

"Let me give you a simple example—the Evolution Serum, which also goes by another name: the Awakening Serum!"

"It has only one effect: it allows a person to awaken a special ability with 100% certainty!"

"Within the human territory, 99% of the human race is unable to awaken a special ability after birth; they can only awaken upon breaking through to the Blood Exchange Realm."

"But the Evolution Serum can allow anyone to awaken with 100% certainty!"

"Nowadays, countless civilizations already possess this technology. Every new civilization that wants to produce it must pay to obtain authorization from the Deep Space Academy."

"And this sum of money is by no means a small amount!"

"Today, we can authorize it for you, the Blue Star, for free!"

As soon as Envoy Tu Lan finished speaking, the entire conference room erupted into a clamor.

"100% awakening—this is dozens of times more effective than the Evolution Serum!"

"If we possess this technology, we will save a massive amount of costs, the number of geniuses will see an explosive growth, and the strength of low-level martial artists will be significantly improved."

Lin Qi was also shocked; the fact that such technology existed was truly exaggerated.

And this was merely a free technology possessed by the cosmic human race.

Envoy Tu Lan looked at the excited crowd and said:

"This is just one of the most basic technologies; there are many other pharmaceutical technologies."

"In terms of technology and the Martial Path, they can help you improve your civilization's strength."

After hearing this, the Red Emperor spoke calmly:

"We are very grateful for the help of the Deep Space Academy; our Blue Star civilization is deeply appreciative!"

Envoy Tu Lan leaned back in her smart chair and smiled:

"You should thank yourselves!"

"Without high-level civilization potential, it would be impossible for our Deep Space Academy to tilt so many resources toward you."

"In the upcoming contact with the Flowing Blade civilization, mineral resources, heavenly treasures, and disaster beasts will become your primary export resources."

"Especially mineral resources and disaster beasts!"

Everyone nodded; the trial planet was too large, and the things they lacked the least were land and disaster beasts!

"By the way, after you make contact with the online world, do not use titles."

"Titles like Red Emperor or Overlord are not something you can bear."

"Only powerful existences above the Cosmic Third Realm are qualified to possess titles."

"In the universe, the strong do not tolerate insults from the weak. If a powerhouse happens to dislike you and kills you, although they will be punished,"

"the impact will be minimal; at most, they will be fined a bit of money."

"The universe is a cruel place of survival of the fittest; the weak can only struggle to survive humbly."

"Therefore, while you can use nicknames or aliases in some virtual worlds in the universe, it is best to use your real names in reality!"

"There are too many such examples in the universe. Many primary civilizations, before they had even made contact with the universe, had their planet's strongest individuals seal themselves with honorary titles, eventually leading to disaster."

"Including the Flowing Blade civilization; they once encountered such a problem as well."

"This is my advice!"

Envoy Tu Lan's tone was serious, causing everyone's hearts to chill.

The Red Emperor nodded and said: "Thank you for the reminder; we know what to do."

Envoy Tu Lan glanced at the projected time and said:

"The time is almost up; the people from the Flowing Blade civilization should be coming online."

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire conference room began to undergo a massive change; all the seats were moved to one side.

On the other side, a large number of empty seats appeared, and dozens of figures emerged out of thin air, sitting opposite them.

They had brown skin and a sharp temperament like a gale.

They were the people of the Flowing Blade civilization.

Sitting in the very center was a lean, middle-aged man wearing a green robe; the well-known Tian Renliu sat right beside him.

"Greetings to everyone from the Blue Star civilization; I am the representative of the Flowing Blade civilization—Liu Yu!"

The Red Emperor also spoke:

"Hello, I am Qin Ling of the Blue Star civilization!"

"On behalf of the Blue Star civilization, I welcome you."

Liu Yu nodded and said: "Our Flowing Blade civilization is currently your supporting civilization!"

"Our people have already set off on a starship; the first batch will arrive in the Milky Way via a space wormhole in two months!"

"Before that, we need to understand the Blue Star civilization's level in terms of economy, technology, agriculture, the Martial Path, and other aspects."

"Furthermore, how we will carry out our work after arriving on Blue Star and how we will jointly develop the trial planet all need to be negotiated!"

The Red Emperor nodded:

"That is only right!"

Immediately, both sides projected a large amount of data to conduct a preliminary understanding.

In front of everyone, a small screen appeared, displaying a massive amount of data.

The content covered the Flowing Blade civilization's support in various aspects: technology, materials, the Martial Path, minerals, pharmaceuticals, disaster beasts...

As a high-level member of Blue Star, Lin Qi also had to participate.

At the same time, Inspector Envoy Tu Lan did not go offline; he also needed to participate.

Although he did not need to manage things, he needed to understand the level of the Blue Star civilization and the gap that existed.

For martial artists of their level, their brains had already been developed to a very deep extent, possessing astonishing memory and processing speeds faster than computers.

The duration of the entire meeting was longer than Lin Qi had imagined.

One day was clearly not enough.

On the second day, the group of people at the meeting changed, and a large number of top-tier talents from various fields appeared.

They conducted discussions from various aspects, and Lin Qi also used this to understand the entire Blue Star civilization.

At the same time, the Flowing Blade civilization also displayed an astonishing level of technology; various large-scale machinery were things that Blue Star did not possess.

Moreover, many of their staff were high-level martial artists; they did not enjoy the extremely high status that they did on Blue Star.

Instead, they had become individual workers.

According to Liu Yu, the Flowing Blade civilization possessed hundreds of planets and tens of millions of high-level martial artists.

High-level martial artists were only considered middle-tier and needed to work to earn money.

After all, in other civilizations, one might be able to earn money on trial planets by hunting disaster beasts.

Therefore, there would be a great many high-level martial artists coming.

Two days later.

In the Red Realm, inside the virtual world conference room.

By this time, it was already filled with over a thousand people, and the atmosphere was serious; they were all top-tier talents from various fields.

The Flowing Blade civilization and the Blue Star civilization reached a preliminary cooperation and would establish the first centennial plan.

Within a hundred years, they would establish Blue Star's own planetary defense platform to monitor the solar system.

At the same time, with the support of the Flowing Blade civilization, they would vigorously develop the trial planet, allowing technology, the economy, and the Martial Path to fully integrate with the universe and see a significant improvement.

At the same time, the number of high-level martial artists would increase by at least a hundredfold.

Furthermore, they would focus on developing the solar system; there was no need for research in this aspect, as constant learning would be sufficient.

The Deep Space Academy would authorize a large amount of basic science and theory for the people of Blue Star to learn.

And using Blue Star as a base, they would develop other planets in the solar system.

At the same time, they would locate other life-bearing planets, occupy them, and expand the scope of the Blue Star civilization.

According to the Deep Space Academy's investigation, the Milky Way was located in the Lost Elder Elder Xing Yu, and its location was very remote.

Life-bearing planets were scarce, and currently, there were only a dozen or so weak civilizations, all of which were very feeble.

The Blue Star civilization was currently the strongest.

If the Blue Star civilization continued to expand, it could completely bring these civilizations under the jurisdiction of the Blue Star civilization.

"Everyone, the other matters have already been discussed; next, we should discuss the matter of exploring the trial planet."

Liu Yu suddenly spoke up.

The Red Emperor spoke: "This is naturally a problem that needs to be considered."

"The Flowing Blade civilization has many powerhouses; if they all enter the trial planet to explore, the entire planet might be hollowed out in a few decades."

"So, if you want to explore the trial planet, you can, but there will be limits on quotas and strength, and you will need to pay Deep Space Coins!"

Hearing this, everyone on Blue Star immediately revealed smiles.

Lin Qi was the same; his eyes lit up.

Sun Sheng, who was beside him, couldn't help but whisper:

"What a great method; we Blue Star took out a loan from the Deep Space Academy and still owe a huge debt."

"And we don't even have any Blue Star currency!"

"Through this move, we might be able to make a fortune."

Lin Qi also nodded; this decision was indeed good.

After hearing this, Liu Yu was not surprised but nodded and said:

"This is only right, but determining an appropriate price is still very necessary."

Next, both civilizations discussed the price, and Envoy Tu Lan also chimed in from time to time.

9:00 PM.

The meeting officially ended!

Both sides went offline satisfied, and the exhausted Blue Star crowd prepared to go back and rest.

But Lin Qi suddenly received a message.

After exiting the meeting, he turned and entered another conference room.

Inside, there were already 10 people: the Red Emperor, the Overlord, the God of War, the Ice Emperor, and the Ganges Zunzhe.

There were also Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, Augustus, Andrei, Jiang Tao, and Xu Qin.

Everyone sat around a circular table.

Lin Qi sat beside Sun Sheng, his expression quite expectant.

The Red Emperor spoke slowly:

"Everyone is here, so let's have a simple chat and talk about some things!"

"Everyone here achieved victory or a draw in the Fire Seed Trial!"

"Each of you has made a great contribution to the Blue Star civilization!"

"Therefore, you deserve to be rewarded!"

"Xu Qin, you achieved a draw!"

"You will receive 10,000 Deep Space Coins!"

The Red Emperor continued:

"Currently, Deep Space Coins are relatively precious and have strong purchasing power."

"Deep Space Coins can be exchanged using Merit Points, with an exchange ratio of 1:10,000!"

"I sold quite a few heavenly treasures to Inspector Envoy Tu Lan just to exchange for a batch of Deep Space Coins!"

Lin Qi was shocked to hear this; 10,000 Merit Points could only be exchanged for one Deep Space Coin.

With his millions of Merit Points, he could only exchange for a thousand Deep Space Coins?

Xu Qin felt a surge of joy upon hearing this; Deep Space Coins were now a hard currency.

Born into a top-tier family in the Xia Nation, she knew very well that the more Deep Space Coins, the better.

The Red Emperor continued:

"The others will be rewarded with 30,000 Deep Space Coins and a section of Ancient Blood Vine!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately revealed smiles.

Whether it was Deep Space Coins or Ancient Blood Vine, these were all good things.

Then, the Red Emperor looked at Lin Qi and said:

"Lin Qi, you achieved two victories; you are rewarded with 50,000 Deep Space Coins, a bottle of Aperture-Opening Fluid, and a section of Ancient Blood Vine!"

"Damn, if I had known, I would have let myself go and fight Liu Ming!"

Sun Sheng, who was beside him, revealed an envious expression and couldn't help but speak.

Li Tianxing shook his head: "If we let you go, our Blue Star civilization would have definitely lost."

"By then, let alone contributions, you would have been a sinner of our civilization."

The others revealed envious expressions at this time.

Lin Qi also felt a surge of joy in his heart; he hadn't expected that by fighting one more match, the reward would become even more generous.

After finishing the rewards, the Red Emperor continued:

"Currently, although our Blue Star civilization has taken out a huge loan from the Deep Space Academy!"

"It will all be used to purchase technological equipment that can increase our strength, such as planetary defense platforms, railguns, and starships."

"I don't have many Deep Space Coins in my hands, and it's impossible for everyone to exchange them using Merit Points."

"We can only hope for the arrival of the Flowing Blade civilization and trade with them."

"Or, you can start making contact with the cosmic virtual network!"

"In the cosmic virtual network, there are countless ways to earn money, and the currency inside is all Deep Space Coins!"

"Everyone, if you want higher-level secret manuals, guidance, to fight against powerful enemies, to understand the vastness of the universe, to broaden your horizons..."

"Entering the universe will be a good choice!"

As soon as the Red Emperor said this, everyone felt expectant.

They all wanted to start making contact with the universe.

The Red Emperor finally said: "After everyone opens their own cosmic accounts, the Deep Space Coins will also be transferred to you."

"A reminder to everyone: whatever is on the War Home exchange table, it is best to exchange for it using Merit Points."

"Do not use Deep Space Coins; they have greater uses in the cosmic virtual network."

"When you make contact with the cosmic virtual network, you will naturally know."

"Of course, if you really want to exchange them, I have no objections."

Hearing this, everyone immediately felt that the Deep Space Coins in their hands were even more precious.

Thus, they one after another dismissed the idea of wanting to exchange them for Merit Points.

Since the Red Emperor had said so, they definitely couldn't exchange them.

Black Dragon Base, Room 206.

In the spacious living room, Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes.

He closed the circulation bracelet in his hand.

"Buzz buzz!!"

The phone in his pocket vibrated; he opened it to see that information was being sent in a group chat.

This was the group chat where all Ninth Realm martial artists were located; now he, Sun Sheng, and Li Tianxing had also joined it.

The Red Emperor sent a large amount of documents every day, covering every aspect.

In the Red Emperor's words, you don't have to manage things, but you cannot be ignorant.

It just so happened that their martial artists had astonishing brainpower, and the speed at which they learned knowledge was still very fast.

Then, Lin Qi thought of the rewards given by the Red Emperor again!

50,000 Deep Space Coins; calculated by the exchange rate, that was 500 million Merit Points. How many Level 9 disaster beasts would one have to kill for that?

However, he would definitely not go and exchange them for Merit Points.

Just as the Red Emperor said, Deep Space Coins could be exchanged for Merit Points, but Merit Points could not be exchanged for Deep Space Coins.

Lin Qi shook his head; next, he just needed to wait for the Aperture-Opening Fluid and the Ancient Blood Vine to arrive, and he could let his strength improve by another level.

Cosmic Virtual World.

Deep Space Academy, Lieyang Elder Elder Xing Yu Branch.

In the blue sky-piercing spire, in an office on the top floor.

Through the transparent glass, one could see the brilliant starry sky and the endless dark clouds.

A tall man with handsome features, a straight posture, and an elegant temperament was admiring the scenery outside the window.

He had white skin like jade and his whole body radiated intense mental fluctuations.

He wore a slim-fit blue robe, and on his chest was printed the silver-blue starry sky emblem of the Deep Space Academy.

Behind him, the exquisitely featured Envoy Tu Lan leaned on a smart chair, looking at the data in front of her.

"Supervisor, this is all the data on the Blue Star civilization."

"Next, our inspection team will conduct a deep-level exploration and excavation of the Blue Star civilization from various aspects such as civilization and history!"

The supervisor turned his head, his deep eyes looking at the big screen as he said:

"An ordinary planet, in just under a hundred years, has given birth to a large number of Void-Flying Realm martial artists."

"There are even 5 star-system-level geniuses."

The supervisor with the straight posture spoke:

"If we are not mistaken, the trial planet they obtained is the trial planet of the former Starfire civilization!"

"With the dissipation of the Starfire civilization, many trial planets dissipated!"

"Now it has been acquired by the Blue Star civilization!"

"However, trial planets do not give birth to geniuses!"

"Blue Star is such a small planet, the source energy is thin, and it is still located in the Lost Star System. To be able to give birth to so many geniuses, this civilization is definitely not simple!"

"Especially the Red Emperor, Qin Ling; he is suspected of possessing a special physique!"

"Without anyone's guidance, he was able to comprehend a Sixth-Stage Sword Art in the Void-Flying Realm!"

"His talent is astonishing!"

"A special physique—out of a thousand star-system-level geniuses, one might not even be born with a special physique!"

"The future potential of the Blue Star civilization is not small!"

"For such a genius, we should not pay too much attention; give him some time to grow up."

"Envoy Tu Lan, you can provide some convenience to the Blue Star civilization!"

"If the Flowing Blade civilization wants to take some underhanded measures, they will need your help!"

"However, I have met the Blade Master; he is not that kind of person, but the people under him might not be."

"It still requires you to supervise and protect the geniuses of the Blue Star civilization!"

"Our human race is too lacking in geniuses, especially top-tier geniuses. The struggle for hegemony among the ten thousand races in the universe depends on the number of geniuses."

"A genius possessing a special physique has astonishing future potential."

Envoy Tu Lan nodded after hearing this:

"I understand; a large number of Cosmic Second Realm members have already headed to the Blue Star civilization!"

The supervisor continued:

"Very good; with these members, safety can also be guaranteed."

"There is one more thing!"

"Regarding the Blue Star civilization's loan, I have already thought it through; according to the best standard, I will lend them 10 billion Deep Space Coins."

"Divided into one hundred installments, with each year being one installment, repaying 100 million Deep Space Coins every year."

Envoy Tu Lan nodded: "This is already the highest standard we have given."

"With these 10 billion, it is enough to purchase planetary defense platforms and railguns!"

At the same time, in the endlessly vast universe.

A certain flying-saucer-shaped starship was flying toward the Milky Way, passing through countless meteorites.

In the spacious hall, dozens of people wearing different combat suits were gathered; they had different skin colors, and there were people of all heights and weights.

Their whole bodies radiated killing intent and a fierce aura.

A burly man with green skin spoke:

"The coordinates of the Blue Star civilization have been confirmed!"

"According to the data, the current Blue Star civilization does not have a planetary defense platform, which is also our best opportunity."

"We want to sneak into Blue Star and enter the trial planet; inside, there are countless mineral deposits, heavenly treasures, and disaster beasts."

"It is enough for us to make a fortune!"
