simulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since he had enough wealth points, there was nothing more to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He would go in and try to see what was different about the Second-Rank!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was the same all-white world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But this time there were more types of components, and many more advanced ones—the kind only used on frigates!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Furthermore, the most important thing was…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It unlocked training for higher qualities!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Above red excellent quality, there was pink perfect!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There was actually more above pink perfect quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was just that it wasn't something Xu Zi'an could understand yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, unlocking the frigate evolution training and the pink perfect quality training…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Also signaled that.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Cuican.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Had officially entered the era of perfect quality!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Without further ado.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Excited, Xu Zi'an immediately began his simulation learning.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One hour later in reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Zi'an exited the simulation world with a blank gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His numb expression showed not a trace of the excitement he had before entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the simulation world, the training time was still one year.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The difficulty of evolving a frigate exceeded his imagination!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The difficulty of pink perfect quality was even hellish!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A full year of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Would you believe he crazily simulated and learned for a full year?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the last day…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He actually failed when evolving the Cuican’s quality?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The reason he chose to use the Cuican to evolve quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Was not that he didn't want to use a frigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But if he used a frigate, that would be even harder!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even using the Cuican he was most familiar with to evolve quality ended in failure, with the Cuican’s quality decreasing instead of increasing, dropping from red excellent to green fine…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some components even developed cracks and were scrapped because the evolution plan wasn't perfect or rigorous enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for was that on the last day of that year, the Cuican only dropped in quality and didn't turn into a pile of scrap metal or explode entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, before this, it was either scrap metal or an explosion every time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So… this could be considered a kind of progress, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Zi'an comforted himself with a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It seems.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was truly being whimsical.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking that with the system, becoming a Second-Rank, Third-Rank, or even higher-rank evolutionist would be easy and effortless?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now it seems.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had overestimated himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And underestimated the evolutionists of the entire universe!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They all had such immense difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Those old evolutionists who were thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years old…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Why did he think he could easily catch up to them?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It seems.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First-Rank is truly just the entry level for an evolutionist.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Red excellent is also just the entry level for quality… right?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Zi'an was left feeling unconfident by this incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He shook his head and sighed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had thought over 1800 wealth points was a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now it seems…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It might not even be enough to fully master the knowledge of the Second-Rank evolutionist level.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He still had to earn money fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He stopped thinking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And began to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The day after tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He would set off for the Shenzhou Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This would likely be the last time he returned to the Solar System for a very long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For these two days, he would do nothing and think of nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He would just take a good stroll around this planet that had nurtured him in his past and present lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the star system that had nurtured him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Beside Neptune in the Solar System.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A silvery-white, desolate satellite was leisurely orbiting Neptune.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was Triton.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One of the Solar System’s garbage planets.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Every thousand years, a comprehensive decomposition and degradation of the garbage would take place.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So there was no need to worry about the situation where garbage piled up like mountains and the planet wasn't enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Garbage piled up like mountains, and among it were many materials from space shuttles, spacecraft, and starships.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If one could scavenge some, they could sell them for a lot of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thus.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Garbage planet scavengers emerged as the times required.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Batian Gang, don't look at the name as being so domineering and chuunibyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was just a… garbage-collecting gang on Triton made up of scavengers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, where there are people, there is a jianghu; the garbage-collecting gang would control an area, and all the garbage in this area belonged to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Others could come to scavenge, but they had to pay a share.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For example, the Seventh-Generation Shensuanzi Star Crystal Optical Computer from the Federal Optical Computer Technology Company that Xu Zi'an had scavenged back then was supposed to be handed over to the Batian Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But… he had swallowed it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I scavenged it myself, why should I give it to you!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Triton, the garbage area controlled by the Batian Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Above the garbage piles, one dilapidated spacecraft after another was rummaging through the garbage.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There was too, too much garbage in here.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Every day, garbage ships from all directions would dump garbage all over Triton.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, inside the spacecraft of the Batian Gang leader, Skinny Dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Gang leader, that Xu Zi'an, was he really a scavenger like us before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Inside Skinny Dog’s spacecraft, a young man’s voice asked, filled with curiosity and disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Skinny Dog snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had repeated this many times over the past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He even boasted about it to his friends, relatives, and family.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Of course!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Skinny Dog said triumphantly: “Back then, Xu Zi'an and I were good brothers! Good brothers, you know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Not only did he scavenge here, he was also a member of our Batian Gang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“You just joined us recently, so you don’t know. If you don’t believe me, ask the old members of the gang; who doesn’t know about this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Skinny Dog’s words made the other person gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His tone was filled with incredulity and envy: “I didn’t expect you to actually know Xu Zi'an, Gang Leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“My god! He is the recognized pride of our Solar System!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“This time he got the unprecedented national top score, and I even heard he’s a member of the Evolutionist Association!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“An eighteen-year-old national top scorer and a registered evolutionist of the Evolutionist Association… this is too awesome…”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“I’m so envious that you’ve actually spoken to Xu Zi'an!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The other person’s words greatly satisfied Skinny Dog’s vanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But at this moment, a discordant voice rang out from the communicator.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Skinny Dog, are you bragging about your relationship with Xu Zi'an again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Why do you brag every day? Did Xu Zi'an have anything to do with you before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“It’s true he was a scavenger before, and he did come to our Triton.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“But when was he ever sworn brothers with you, Skinny Dog?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Hey you, Skinny Dog is good for nothing but bragging, come to our Zhantian Gang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this voice and his words, Skinny Dog was immediately furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, before he could retort…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Suddenly, a series of curses erupted from the communicator.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Hiss… holy crap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Is that a starship?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“How could this starship come to Triton?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Holy crap, I recognize it, I recognize it! I’ve seen the video! This is the Cuican! Xu Zi'an’s Cuican!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, Xu Zi'an is here???”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These scavengers were all uncultured.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A single ‘holy crap’ spanned the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But it was enough to express their inner shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Skinny Dog’s lean face froze abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was just bragging…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How did he actually come here!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Cuican’s exterior was elegant and beautiful, but beneath its hidden beautiful appearance, it seemed to hide a prehistoric beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It made people unable to stop feeling awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Skinny Dog, long time no see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Zi'an’s voice suddenly rang out in everyone’s communicators.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Skinny Dog’s face was as stiff as if it had been frozen. Hearing this, he forced a stiff smile and replied: “Good… good… I’ve been doing well lately…”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Hehe, I’m leaving the Solar System tomorrow. I just came to see the place where I once worked hard and struggled. You don’t need to worry about me, continue with your work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Zi'an said with a smile, and then they saw the four engine nozzles at the back of the Cuican, where light blue flames pushed the Cuican forward, and then it left directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In an instant, it disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Long after the Cuican left, Skinny Dog wiped the sweat from his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But then he suddenly laughed, look…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The capital for bragging has arrived again!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Today, I spoke to the Cuican prodigy Xu Zi'an again!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Cuican prodigy Xu Zi'an even said my name, Skinny Dog!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Accompanied by the new gang member’s desperate shout of ‘The Gang Leader is awesome!!!’, Skinny Dog’s vanity was satisfied as never before.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Zi'an went to many places.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>All places he had been to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And he said goodbye to several familiar people.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xiong An, the two vice-presidents, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Finally, Xu Zi'an came to his parents’ graves, lit three sticks of incense, paid his respects, then turned resolutely and strode away.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With this departure.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is unknown what year it will be when he returns.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Solar System…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Was ultimately too small.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He might return in the future, but at least within ten years…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He probably won’t return to the Solar System again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because in this interstellar era, humans have an average lifespan of eight hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>University is no longer four years.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Two years per semester, five semesters in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Actually, this is still considered very short.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Especially for biological starship captains.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not to mention others, just take Xu Zi'an himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now at the Fifth-Rank Warrior realm, he feels he can definitely live for one thousand to one thousand two hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ten years… is nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Besides, what should be taught and learned during university can be learned within ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If you still can’t learn it within ten years…\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then that can only be said to be your own reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ten years later, graduation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Actually, don’t look at it as a full ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But in reality, sometimes after accepting a school mission and going out to execute it, it takes several months.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ten years is really not long.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At night.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Zi'an slept comfortably in his own home, in his own bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He showered and changed clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No more hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He got up and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had no luggage to pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>· 0 Seeking flowers · ·······\u003C\u002Fp>",1794,"2026-06-17T01:53:37.806Z","2026-06-17T08:59:15.535Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","11b305c6ee3248d95ee5cac911fa8058135ad31049e9bfb599d4106d0aaead96","stellar-fleet-from-scrap-vessel-to-cosmic-dreadn-chapter-82","stellar-fleet-from-scrap-vessel-to-cosmic-dreadn-chapter-80",385,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstellar-fleet-from-scrap-vessel-to-cosmic-dreadn-cover.jpg"]
