Chapter 73

Bound the keel.

Only then can the evolution below begin!!!

Soon.

The keel was successfully bound.

That long-lost connection of threads reappeared in his heart.

And he felt it carefully.

Sure enough, there was no reduction in compatibility at all.

Exactly the same as when he first bound the Brilliant!

He grinned and laughed foolishly.

And immediately started getting busy.

[Attached is a picture of the new Brilliant! The biggest one in the middle!]

Using the crane in the evolution factory, he installed the 8000-ton ship armor onto the keel.

Don't look at this weight as scary, that's because the things Xu Zi'an purchased have high mass and high density, so they are of course heavier.

Just like cotton of the same volume and steel of the same volume, they certainly can't be the same weight.

It's the same between metal and metal.

Made of pure oxygen superalloy, this superalloy is a top-secret alloy formula of the Holy Armor Group, possessing extremely strong defensive ability and toughness.

The keel is heavier.

According to estimates.

The entire starship is fully installed and evolved.

It is estimated to have reached a terrifying 30,000 tons or so!

Even the previous Brilliant, because of subsequent multiple evolutions, swallowed a large amount of various metals, so the density greatly increased.

Its weight at the third tier also exceeded 10,000 tons.

Of course.

This bit of weight.

In front of this power system now...

Light as a feather.

Ship body installation, consuming evolution value, starting fusion evolution.

It took a full six or seven hours to finish fusing, and the next step is internal wiring...

For eight consecutive days!!!

The two women witnessed the entire process of an extremely cool starship, from keel to a complete starship!

Watching each component fuse perfectly into a certain area.

Watching each empty area being utilized perfectly by Xu Zi'an, without causing any waste of internal space.

Watching...

The two women's eyes were already full of worship.

Including the cold Hai Tang, she was amazed.

He discovered.

Xu Zi'an...

Should not be called some brilliant monster.

But should be called an artist!

Because when he was in starship combat, those operations were like violent art.

At this time, when evolving the starship, the appearance of each evolution being orderly and not panicked.

Between his hands, a starship that looked full of power took shape in Xu Zi'an's hands.

Also like an artist in terms of evolutionists!

For eight days.

Xu Zi'an has been evolving, evolving, and evolving.

Finally, today, this starship is officially completed!!!

A starship built bit by bit with his own hands!

In the true sense, a starship unique in the entire universe that belongs exclusively to him!

The two women watched, fascinated.

The starship took shape as a whole.

The subsequent evolution was simple.

In just seven days.

Xu Zi'an evolved the starship to the third tier in one go!

And it was the kind where the quality was all red excellent!

Still the kind where even an alloy screw was red excellent quality in the true sense.

After the third tier, continue to the fourth tier!

Only by entering the fourth tier can Xu Zi'an's current biological energy break through.

Only then can he continue to absorb biological energy.

Biological energy and starship are complementary.

Biological energy cannot break through the bottleneck without a starship.

Similarly.

A starship cannot evolve to the next step without full biological energy!

No matter how much evolution value you have, it's useless!

The evolution of the fourth tier lasted for a full seven days.

After all, it was a leap from low-level to mid-level.

After the evolution was completed.

Xu Zi'an started to crazily convert wealth points into biological energy!

He is already a fourth-rank warrior now.

The full value of a fourth-rank warrior's biological energy is 280!

He calculated it.

At most nine days.

It would reach the full value state.

Nine days later.

There are about ten days left until the college entrance exam.

Just right!

Enough for Xu Zi'an to evolve the starship to the fifth tier.

The next few days.

Xu Zi'an entered a starship combat simulation once a day.

To familiarize himself with the performance and combat mode of this latest starship.

Must say...

This starship's performance in all aspects is really too powerful.

Let's put it this way.

Now Xu Zi'an is a fourth-tier reconnaissance starship, but he has already taken down a third-tier biological frigate of the Zerg!

And he himself didn't have much damage!

Besides starship combat simulation.

Then it was to enter one of the simulation worlds at will.

But this time it wasn't to go and fight or anything.

Instead, he studied liberal arts!

Xu Zi'an had discovered a small feature of the system.

It allowed him to imprint real-world data into the system's simulated world.

Then, he could spend a full year inside studying all kinds of knowledge.

When things were light, he would run one star-war simulation a day, then study once.

When things were heavy, he would run one star-war simulation a day, then study two, three, or even four times!

In other words, the amount of knowledge he learned in one day was equivalent to two, three, or four years!

Only when his mental strength truly couldn't hold up anymore would he get a good night's sleep.

Star war; study!

Finally, there was personal combat!

This was also a component of the college entrance exam!

However, Xu Zi'an felt there was no need to study much for personal combat.

Because as for personal combat...

Xu Zi'an had a lot of confidence in himself.

The main focus was on star war and liberal arts!

After these past few days.

It was equivalent to...

Xu Zi'an having fought for nine years.

And having studied liberal arts for a full 24 years!

24 years of liberal arts study...

Plus the fact that Xu Zi'an found learning very easy to begin with.

Over those 24 years, Xu Zi'an had even mastered the knowledge of a university curriculum.

Which meant...

Even if Xu Zi'an were placed in a university now, his reservoir of liberal arts knowledge would be top-tier.

But...

Xu Zi'an felt it still wasn't enough!

He could still learn more!

Because the population base of this world was so incredibly large.

There were also far too many geniuses.

Especially in the liberal arts, where geniuses were countless.

If he wanted to truly take first place in every aspect.

He still had to keep learning.

However, today was definitely out.

Because his bio-energy had finally reached the full 280-point state of a Grade 4 warrior today.

And today.

The two girls didn't come over again.

Sister Haitang had taken Qin Fuyue off to hunt space pirates.

In fact, Qin Fuyue should have left a long time ago.

Her scores in the special recruitment exam back then were not bad at all.

But because of Xu Zi'an...

She hadn't left with that school's teacher.

Speaking of Qin Fuyue, she hadn't chosen Shenzhou Academy.

Because her dream school was the sixth-ranked Morning Glow Starship Academy.

She planned to wait until Xu Zi'an finished the college entrance exam before leaving.

Of course, there was another reason.

She wanted to see if she could reach the full 280-point bio-energy state during this time.

And gather enough evolution points.

That way, she wanted to ask Xu Zi'an to personally evolve her starship!

After seeing the data of Xu Zi'an's starship evolution with her own eyes...

She had clenched her fists and made this resolution.

Even Sister Haitang had swallowed hard and asked with glowing eyes if Xu Zi'an could evolve hers too...

Xu Zi'an was left between laughter and tears.

You, a dignified cruiser captain, asking me, a prospective evolutionist who hasn't even taken the registration exam, to evolve a cruiser for you?

Am I crazy, or are you crazy!

It was somewhat overestimating him.

Without the two girls around to take care of him, and missing Qin Fuyue serving tea and water or buying him food.

Xu Zi'an returned to his old state of a rough man.

He didn't wash his hair.

He didn't bathe.

He spent every day researching starship evolution, and whenever he had time, he ran into the simulated world to study.

He was exactly like a savage.

And today.

That is, the day before the college entrance exam.

This brand-new starship, this starship evolved into a Tier 5 scout ship, was finally fresh out of the oven!

That domineering exterior, those ferocious cannon barrels, the thick armor, the irritable engine...

Everything about it.

Was so eye-catching.

It hadn't even truly started up yet.

But it already brought an incomparable sense of oppression.

The two girls, who had rushed back this morning, were now staring blankly at this starship, their eyes filled with obsession.

For biological starship captains.

Nothing was more attractive than a starship with terrifying performance.

And without a doubt.

Xu Zi'an's starship.

The starship he designed with his own hands!

Was a super monster!

And Xu Zi'an.

Also planned to go and re-register this starship right now.

A starship must be registered to travel freely in the territory of the cosmic human race.

Otherwise, it would be like the starships of space pirates, considered an unregistered vessel.

Leading to all sorts of inconveniences.

He had already thought of a name for the starship.

Or rather... he had never even thought of any other name.

Because his starship, whether it was the first one or this second one, would only ever have one name—

The Brilliant!!!
