Chapter 13: Tier 1 Scout Ship Captain, Star War Simulation!

He wasn't busy driving the brand-new *Cui Can* to roam the starry sky.

Fuel also cost money.

Xu Zi'an had only one thought in his mind right now—

Make money!

In the interstellar era, there were many ways to make money.

Especially for biological starship captains, making money was much easier than for ordinary people.

And there was only one optimal way to make money—

The Interstellar Hunter Guild!

Become an Interstellar Hunter!

An Interstellar Hunter was a combination of a mercenary and a bounty hunter.

In there, you could receive almost any mission you could think of.

For example, escorting, interstellar delivery, hunting down interstellar pirates... and so on.

Even many official organizations, when their own troop sources were insufficient, would post long-term bounty missions on it.

For instance, the Earth Federation would long-term post missions to hunt interstellar pirates, and the rewards were quite good.

The requirements to join the Interstellar Hunter Guild and become an Interstellar Hunter were actually quite simple.

As long as you had a spaceship, that was enough.

It didn't limit what kind of spaceship it was, nor did it limit whether it was a mechanical starship or a biological starship.

As long as you were bold and not afraid of death, even if you drove a Little Ball to hunt interstellar pirates, no one would stop you.

After thinking about it, he opened the Interstellar Hunter Guild’s official website to register his identity first.

Here, you could post missions and accept missions.

Registration was simple, because Xu Zi'an’s identity had already been updated after he filmed a video of the *Cui Can* after its evolution; he was now a true Tier 1 biological scout ship captain.

Registration passed, and he immediately had an Interstellar Hunter badge for a biological starship captain.

Inside the official website.

There were forums, a team-up area, a mission acceptance area, and a mission posting area.

The forum was basically a place to chat.

The team-up area was where Interstellar Hunters formed teams, and rewards would be distributed uniformly by the Interstellar Hunter Guild.

Thereby avoiding conflicts and disputes caused by uneven internal profit distribution.

There were fixed teams and temporary teams, and of course, you could choose to act alone.

Team-ups and such...

Xu Zi'an wasn't considering them for now.

Famous, formal Interstellar Hunter squads basically wouldn't want a new Interstellar Hunter like him who hadn't even completed a single mission.

And squads recruiting newcomers... Xu Zi'an didn't dare to go.

Because he was afraid that if he went, he would be used as cannon fodder.

By then, he wouldn't even know how he died.

Acting alone, although much more dangerous, was solid enough!

After browsing through, there were quite a few missions that were relatively suitable for him.

For example, mining area defense.

He was a newcomer, so the pay was the lowest.

But it was still 1,000 credits a day, which was 30,000 a month.

Don't ever think this price is low!

Don't look at the fact that Xu Zi'an made over 7,000 credits in one go scavenging last time.

That was him having dumb luck!

Under normal circumstances, after deducting fuel costs, spaceship wear and tear, etc., making 100 credits a day was considered very lucky.

Sometimes it was normal not to make a single cent for many days in a row.

So a mining area defense mission with a base salary of 1,000 credits a day, plus a bonus of 1,000 credits a day if combat occurred, was considered quite good treatment.

Of course, this was only for biological starship captains; mechanical starship captains...

Not only was the pay low, but they were purely cannon fodder.

For mechanical starship captains, the pay for mining area guard work was only 300 credits a day!

You have to know... inside a mechanical scout ship, there are two or three people operating it.

That is to say...

On average, each person in a mechanical starship makes about 100 credits a day!

A ten-fold gap.

Besides the mining area defense mission. ===== CHAPTER 28 =====

There was also interstellar delivery, which was taking an express package from one planet to another, or even from one star system to another.

The price was not cheap, determined by the distance, the danger level of the route, and the importance of the package.

Additionally, there were Federal Army defense missions, temporarily joining the Federal Army to patrol designated locations, and the pay was also decent.

There were also Federal Army assistance missions.

This was a mission to assist the Federal Army in attacking some enemy, with an extremely high danger coefficient, but the rewards were also extremely high.

There were also...

In short.

Countless missions.

The rewards were not the same.

After picking and choosing, and careful consideration, Xu Zi'an decided...

To choose the interstellar delivery mission!

General interstellar delivery missions didn't have particularly low pay, and the danger wasn't too high.

It was mainly tiring, often requiring long-distance travel, one trip taking several days, and then making about 600 or 700.

There was no help for it.

A Tier 1 scout ship...

Xu Zi'an felt he really didn't have the confidence.

After taking a few interstellar delivery missions and familiarizing himself with the brand-new *Cui Can* and the space environment outside the solar system.

Then he would consider taking higher-difficulty missions.

You only have one life; safety first.

Actually, Xu Zi'an had another choice—

Register as an Evolutionist!

Being an Evolutionist wasn't dangerous, and you made a ton of money.

It was just a pity...

To be an Evolutionist, you must pass a qualification exam.

And to take the qualification exam, you needed an Evolutionist to personally guarantee you!

Otherwise... which biological starship captain would hand their starship over to a newcomer Evolutionist who had never evolved a starship before?

Are they crazy?

This was directly passed; at least for now, there was no need to consider this.

Thinking about familiarizing himself with the brand-new *Cui Can*, Xu Zi'an couldn't help but think of the live combat simulation in the system.

Live combat simulation...

There were still quite a few items!

Especially the star war simulation.

Since the evolution simulation effect was so outstanding...

Then was the system’s star war simulation also much more awesome than the virtual Metaverse’s star war simulation?

And the price for trying it once wasn't expensive, also 10 wealth value per time, one hour of display time, one year of virtual time...

"Making money isn't that urgent; I’ll go in and see!"

Xu Zi'an gritted his teeth and decided to try!

He had originally planned to save all this wealth value to increase his biological energy...

That could wait!

[Tier 1 Scout Ship Captain Live Combat Simulation Teaching]

[Do you choose to consume 10 wealth value to conduct a one-year Tier 1 Scout Ship Captain Live Combat Simulation Teaching?]

[Prompt: In the simulation, the real-world flow rate ratio is 1 year: 1 hour]

Sure enough.

10 wealth value, still for one year of live combat simulation teaching!

Xu Zi'an had already deeply experienced the power of the system’s teaching system from the evolution simulation.

He just didn't know...

This star war simulation...

What kind of surprises could it bring him?

Filled with anticipation, he moved his mind.

His consciousness sank, entering the system’s virtual space. ===== CHAPTER 29 =====
