Chapter 83

And you’re going to evolve the Cuican to the sixth tier???

And now you tell me…

This is just that your cultivation is a bit fast, and your biological energy increased a bit fast?

Do we have different understandings of the word ‘bit’ in ‘a bit fast’?

Just this morning, cosmic time.

While they were still jumping and sailing.

Xu Zi'an suddenly said his biological energy was at maximum value, and asked if they could find a place to evolve the Cuican.

Sister Haitang was stunned when she heard this.

A month ago, it had just reached the fifth tier.

A month later, it’s going to the sixth tier?

Xu Zi'an’s Cuican needs to evolve.

Of course she wouldn't stop him.

Naturally, the faster strength increases, the better.

Looking at Xu Zi'an’s matter-of-fact appearance.

Sister Haitang wisely didn't ask again, and didn't go looking for trouble.

The food was served quickly.

Honestly, Zanluoya food is famous in the universe for a reason.

In terms of taste, it really is beyond reproach.

And that Frost Meat Mushroom is a specialty ingredient of the Zanluoya.

A meat mushroom that tastes icy and refreshing!

It’s the kind of meat that is real meat!

Paired with the Zanluoya’s craftsmanship, the taste is truly superb.

“Is the money in your hand still enough? If not, I can lend you some.”

While eating, Sister Haitang suddenly asked: “I see you’ve invested a lot of money into this Cuican.”

“And the quality is so high, evolving once, if you want to maintain the quality, it should cost a lot of money, right?”

Xu Zi'an took a sip of Glazed Hundred-Fragrance Wine, feeling the hundreds of floral scents and dozens of different flavors bursting in his mouth.

Only then did he answer with a smile: “No need.”

“I originally had a lot of money left, and that time I evolved the Huiming for Qin Fuyue.”

“Her parents gave me a reward of 2 million, added together, over 3 million, it’s enough.”

Speaking of Qin Fuyue’s parents, Sister Haitang couldn't help but want to laugh.

The day before departure, she even received a communication from Fuyue’s mother, asking about the situation between Xu Zi'an and Qin Fuyue!

Upon learning that it was only clear that Qin Fuyue liked Xu Zi'an, but not that Xu Zi'an definitely liked Qin Fuyue, her mother was very regretful.

In her words, she even asked her to help match the two.

However, although Sister Haitang promised verbally, she didn't take any action.

She didn't intend to meddle in the emotional problems of Xu Zi'an and Qin Fuyue.

What’s more…

Vaguely, she felt a bit unhappy.

She couldn't capture exactly what was unhappy.

Anyway, she was quite unwilling to take the initiative to match them.

……

This evolution.

Not only spent all but the last 300,000 of the 3 million Xu Zi'an had left.

Even the evolution points were almost exhausted.

Of course, the exhaustion mentioned here is while retaining the last sufficient evolution points for life-saving.

Exactly 100 evolution points.

But the remainder after killing the human traitor, as well as the 80 points of biological energy from his Fifth-Rank Warrior maximum state, were all used up.

The Fifth-Rank Warrior maximum state is 360 biological energy.

Now, Xu Zi'an is already Sixth-Rank.

The maximum value for Sixth-Rank is 450!

He needs to cultivate a full 90 biological energy to reach the maximum state for breaking through to the Seventh-Rank.

The reason why the evolution point consumption is so fast.

Is also because the Cuican’s quality is too high.

High quality has the benefits of high quality.

Strong combat power, strong survivability.

But the biggest disadvantage.

Is that when the quality is high, evolving to the next tier, while ensuring quality translation—that is, the quality does not decrease or increase.

It also consumes far more evolution points than evolving a starship with lower quality!

To use a simpler analogy—

For example, a white ordinary quality starship, from five to six, needs to spend about 50 evolution points.

Then Xu Zi'an’s Cuican, from five to six, needs to spend at least 300 evolution points!

Or even more!

Actually, this is also one of the main reasons why high-quality starships are extremely rare in the universe today.

Evolution points are scarce to an outrageous degree.

Unless Xu Zi'an doesn't translate the red excellent quality, and only ensures evolution without ensuring quality.

Then the required evolution points would be much, much less.

But… just thinking about it, it’s impossible to do such a stupid thing, right!

Anyway.

Let Xu Zi'an go from six to seven now.

He can’t do it no matter what.

No evolution points.

.*(@|⑥|⑤|⑨|

The Cuican evolved to the sixth tier has had its performance further strengthened in all aspects.

As for pink perfect quality, Xu Zi'an didn't want to pursue that kind of quality right now.

One is that it’s too difficult, and he doesn't have 100% certainty.

Two is that he still has no evolution points.

Xu Zi'an even made a plan.

If nothing unexpected happens, the scout ship level will stay at red excellent quality.

Frigate, then upgrade to pink perfect!

At that time, he believes he should have learned enough.

And he can also take advantage of this period to earn evolution points fiercely.

……

The subsequent journey.

Xu Zi'an witnessed the true vastness and beauty of the universe.

Even if this is only the tip of the iceberg of the universe, or not even the tip of the iceberg.

But it has already made Xu Zi'an dazzled.

There are super-huge cities where the entire star system has turned into a city, and that includes the use of space;

There are floating cities on gas planets, and it is said that the Shenzhou Academy is a floating school!

There are cities cast entirely from solid ice;

And underground cities where the inside of a planet has been hollowed out!

However, those who live in underground cities on planets are mostly not orthodox humans.

Few orthodox humans would like to live in places like underground cities where they can’t see the sun.

And along the way.

They didn't encounter any danger.

With Sister Haitang’s Haiyao, a behemoth, by their side, those interstellar pirates ran as far away as they could long ago.

Along the way, they did encounter several calls for help.

Three times it was because the distance was too far, and it was too late even if they went.

Even if they went, the people were gone, and those pirates had already fled.

There was another time when the distance wasn't far, and they did go.

But by the time they arrived, the pirates had already run away, fortunately, the people were saved.

Not a single evolution point was gained.

With the Haiyao escorting them all the way.

Safety was guaranteed.

But don’t even think about evolution points.

Finally, two months later.

They arrived at the Jinxiu Federation military star system.

The legion name is named after the destination on the other side of the star gate.

The benefit is that one can know more clearly where one is going, so as not to run the wrong way.

The Jinxiu Federation military star system, where heavy troops are stationed.

Star gates have always been the core area of all races in the universe.

If it were attacked and taken by evildoers, they would jump to the other side through this star gate.

The threat is immense.

Just approaching this star system, they were already within the monitoring range.

Looking from afar.

This star system is not big, with only one red dwarf star faintly emitting red light.

Beside it.

Stands a huge star gate.

This is a wormhole.

Some wormholes appear naturally, and some were later created by humans.

Then use technology to fix and stabilize the wormhole.

Maintain it from time to time, and it can exist for a long time.

Star gates are also the key and core of the cosmic human federation’s control over all human areas.

Whenever there is an enemy attack, the army can be dispatched through the star gate to suppress it immediately.

Besides star gates.

There are military bases.

Military bases are built in space.

Military bases built in space are mainly checkpoints; only after passing through the checkpoints can one enter and use the star gate.

The ground ones are basically living areas and training areas for soldiers.

The soldiers’ families and others also live on the planet.

But what attracts Xu Zi'an the most are those super giant cannons.

Have you ever seen a cannon barrel with a caliber of 338 meters?

And these are still considered small!

It is said that the most awesome giant cannon of the cosmic human race can destroy half a great star cluster like the Milky Way with one shot.

I don’t know if it’s true.

Regardless of whether it’s true or not, these 338-meter caliber giant cannons that can be seen everywhere, let alone being hit head-on.

Even if they just touched it, his Cuican would be beaten into powder.

Damn, this cannon caliber is several times larger than his starship, how the hell can he fight!

Identity check, the two naturally had no problems.

They passed through several checkpoints easily.

Finally, Sister Haitang paid a total of 27 million for the jump fee, and the two obtained tickets for the star gate space jump.

Yes.

Don’t think that such wormholes are free to use?

Stop joking!

Natural ones are extremely rare.

Because natural ones, and ones that just happen to connect this star system to that star system, are pitifully few!

Basically, they are all man-made.

And wormhole construction can be said to be the highest technological peak of cosmic humans.

The cost is an unimaginable and terrifying number.

How could it be provided for you to use for free!

The Earth Federation’s fees are considered cheap!

Especially for Earth Federation citizens, they almost only charge you a cost price.

So…

Can you understand why Xu Zi'an said it would be difficult to return to the Solar System for a long time?

The time spent on the road is a small matter.

The cost of teleportation is truly expensive.

27 million, only 1 million is the fee for the Cuican’s jump.

Sister Haitang’s Haiyao is too big, so her jump costs 26 million.

It’s truly outrageous.

It must be said, biological starship captains make money.

But spending money…

Is also one more fierce than the other.

Soon.

It was their turn in line.

Star gate jumping is very simple.

Just fly directly to the opposite side.

Of course, if you insist on flying to the side, that’s fine too; the side is space turbulence.

Maybe it will jump you to the Insect-people side.

Piloting the Cuican.

Following behind Sister Haitang’s Haiyao.

Slowly insert… uh, drive in.

Phew!

Drive into the star gate!

Soon.

It disappeared from the Milky Way.

Milky Way Great Star Cluster, goodbye.

Jinxiu Great Star Cluster, I’m coming!

Shenzhou Academy, I, am coming!!!
