Chapter 11

[Thank you to all the big shots for the flowers, the ten-point evaluation tickets, the collections, and the comments in the comment section! Thank you very much, I’m full of motivation!] ===== CHAPTER 23 =====

The light before his eyes changed rapidly.

When he could see clearly, he was back in his home.

Everything around him remained unchanged; after all, only one hour had passed in the real world.

Xu Zi'an exhaled, feeling extremely exhausted; he didn't even want to think about anything else, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In less than five seconds, he was fast asleep.

Only an hour had passed in the real world, but Xu Zi'an’s mind had been busy for a full year.

It was fortunate that Xu Zi'an had lived two lifetimes, making his mental strength much stronger than an ordinary person’s.

Otherwise, an average person would probably have had a mental breakdown.

He slept like the dead.

He didn't wake up until noon the next day.

Xu Zi'an was once again full of energy.

His wealth value was down to 30.1.

He didn't go for another simulated evolution.

Because Rare level was already the limit.

With a total of only 550,000, to evolve a junk spaceship into a Rare-quality Tier 1 scout ship...

Just ask, how many Evolutionists in this world could do that?!

The overall quality was Rare, but in fact, many components were still only Fine, or even Common level!

There was no help for it; he was truly out of money.

If someone gave Xu Zi'an the money for a Rare-quality *Star of the Future*, believe it or not, he could simulate the evolution of the starship to Perfect quality?

Components that hadn't reached Rare quality could only be evolved slowly after he made money later.

It didn't matter; with 520,000, it was comparable to Chang Chang Shaokong’s 19.99 million *Star of the Future*...

What else did Xu Zi'an have to be dissatisfied about?

And this.

Was the infinite charm brought by evolution!

Evolution, everything is possible!

Since the evolution plan had yielded results.

Xu Zi'an certainly wouldn't waste any more time.

He ran straight to the docking pad, boarded the *Cui Can*, and flew toward the starport.

The starport, a port specifically used for docking medium, large, and super-large spaceships and starships.

It was also a place for mechanical spaceship/starship repairs and biological starship evolution.

Where else could you find so many facilities and space for biological starship evolution?

Additionally, the starport provided fuel, ammunition, and supplies for daily life.

He spent 3,000 credits to rent a small starship factory for a total of three days.

Inside, all kinds of equipment were available, whether for repairs or evolution.

If you wanted to buy something, you could place an order directly on your optical brain watch, and it would be delivered quickly.

It was very convenient.

When Xu Zi'an drove the *Cui Can* into the starship factory, the starport staff member responsible for docking was completely confused.

He looked blankly at the information displayed on his optical brain, then at the *Cui Can* before him...

His little brain probably couldn't figure out why someone would spend 3,000 credits to rent a factory for a piece of junk like this!

The optical brain showed "biological starship evolution"...

But, but you’re telling me this thing is a biological starship???

Seeing Xu Zi'an walk over, he hesitated but still tentatively asked: "Uh, Captain Xu, would you like us to help recommend an Evolutionist?"

Xu Zi'an shook his head: "No need, I have an evolution plan; I don't need an Evolutionist."

The staff member seemed relieved instead, nodding repeatedly: "Okay, then if you need anything, just let me know; I’ll be going now!"

After saying that, he stepped on his hoverboard and quickly left the place.

Fortunately, fortunately Xu Zi'an didn't ask him to recommend an Evolutionist.

Otherwise, no matter which Evolutionist he recommended... they might get a mouthful from the other party—

Evolve this kind of thing?

Which Evolutionist would evolve this kind of thing?

If you aren't ashamed, I am!!!

If it evolves well, it’s not a face-saver; if it doesn't evolve well... it’s even more embarrassing.

The staff member left, and Xu Zi'an was the only one left in the enclosed starship factory.

He came to the optical brain display screen in the factory and began to select the components and materials needed for evolution.

A keel for a Sky Starship Manufacturing Group’s Star-Travel series entry-level medium scout ship—

140,000.

Two sets of Interstellar Power Company’s Long-Voyage series entry-level high-power 2x light-speed propulsion engines—

120,000.

A Pulse Drive Group’s Super-Pulse series entry-level high-power pulse jump engine—

90,000.

An 88cm caliber pulse cannon produced by the Sea Horse Great Galaxy Felson Federal Military Factory—

50,000.

Four secondary cannons and two anti-aircraft guns from an Interstellar Technology enterprise—

60,000.

These things were the most expensive.

Then there were the energy shields, locking radar, detection radar, engines, weapon cooling systems...

And the captain’s living quarters, life support system, gravity control system, star-crystal optical brain, and so on.

These things added up to occupy the remaining 60,000 credits.

One could imagine the quality of these items.

And within those 60,000 credits, many were various metals and materials!

Let’s just put it this way.

The captain’s living quarters were a total of 4 square meters!

It cost 1,800 credits in total, but included a single bed, a washing machine, a folding toilet, a shower head, and a small refrigerator!

Not only was the space outrageously small, but the quality was extremely poor.

That bed... sleeping on it was probably like sleeping on the floor; don't expect comfort. As long as it wasn't too uncomfortable, Xu Zi'an said he could accept it.

He had 30,000 credits left in his hand, which he couldn't touch.

He still had to replenish starship fuel, ammunition, and daily supplies.

Fortunately, these weren't particularly important components, so he would just have to make do for now and evolve them into better ones after he made money in the future.

Xu Zi'an had squeezed this starship to the absolute limit.

Yet he was able to raise the overall quality to Rare level...

One could imagine how high the quality of those main components really was.

For three full days.

Xu Zi'an buried himself in the starship factory, evolving the starship without a moment’s rest.

The *Cui Can*, just like in the live combat simulation.

According to Xu Zi'an’s plan, underwent earth-shaking changes. ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
