If you stop paying the membership fee, you’ll be kicked out.
After He Xingzhou paid, he automatically obtained the title of Level 1 interstellar architect.
Tuanzi said, "You now have permission to purchase various Level 1 construction blueprints within the interstellar architect system, permission to trade construction blueprints, and the right to participate in Level 1 architect construction contests..."
He Xingzhou gained a bunch of initial permissions. To upgrade and obtain higher permissions, one must become a higher-level interstellar architect.
The way to upgrade is to build various technological creations of the corresponding level, earn points, and after accumulating 100 points, you can take the upgrade assessment exam. By constructing certain advanced creations and completing the review, you can upgrade.
"Building a spacecraft that achieves ten percent the speed of light only adds 1 point! And it only counts once!" He Xingzhou saw the requirement and complained, "When can I ever upgrade at this rate?"
"That’s already quite a lot!" Bai Ningxiang said, "You’re representing your entire civilization! It’s not just you building by yourself!"
"Besides, your civilization can simultaneously carry out various constructions! Apart from spacecraft, there’s the planetary logistics system, planetary power system, space ports, alien bases, and so on."
"Given your capabilities, you should soon become a Level 2 interstellar architect."
"The speed of civilization upgrades is calculated in hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, patience is required."
As they were chatting, Ta Mu flew over again and said, "Young man, for just 1,000 cosmic coins as tuition, I can teach you a bunch of architectural blueprints. Whether it’s Cosmic Battleships or various civilization buildings!"
"I can help you become a Level 2 interstellar architect in the shortest possible time and elevate your civilization to a Second-level Civilization!"
He Xingzhou politely refused, "I think I’ll pass, I don’t need it."
With the Quantum Light Computer, he could unlock various technologies on his own. Joining here was mainly for the various rewards; sometimes interacting with other interstellar architects also brought some insights.
"Ah, what a pity," Ta Mu sighed, "Ignoring elder advice leads to immediate suffering! Just don’t end up like that Little Mermaid, with your civilization on the brink of destruction and unable to regret it in time!"
He Xingzhou was also curious since the aliens often mentioned that Bai Ningguang’s Black Sea Civilization seemed to be on the verge of danger?
But Bai Ningguang was reluctant to talk about it, so he didn’t ask further.
"Since you’re so confident, why not participate in this year’s new star interstellar construction contest!" Ta Mu suggested, "You only need to pay an entry fee of 1,000 cosmic coins to participate."
"Participants in the contest are interstellar architects from entire Milky Way’s Orion Arm’s Level 1 civilizations. The top 100 in the contest receive generous rewards! Not only technological creations and cosmic coins but also design blueprints for technological creations!"
"For instance, plasma controllers, Planet Orbital Guns, sub-light speed thrusters, etc. The first prize even includes the Star Destroyer blueprint! This is a warship that a Second-level Civilization can manufacture, a single Star Destroyer can completely obliterate a planet’s surface, enough to deal with Zerg’s High-level Planet Dominator!"
"Look at the rewards, and you’ll know I’m not lying!"
The ring on Ta Mu’s finger projected the rewards on display, which read: "Rank 51-100, reward of 10,000 cosmic coins and one T1-grade prize."
"Rank 11-50, reward of 50,000 cosmic coins and three T1-grade prizes."
"Rank 4-10, reward of 100,000 cosmic coins and one T2-grade prize."
"Third place, reward of 500,000 cosmic coins and a T2.0-grade technological creation blueprint."
"Second place, reward of 1,000,000 cosmic coins and a T2.5-grade technological creation blueprint."
"First place, reward of 5,000,000 cosmic coins and a T2.9-grade technological creation blueprint."
These blueprints are much more sincere than the products. Studying the blueprints allows you to directly acquire the corresponding technology, rather than obtaining a product with an expiration date and no guarantee of its lifespan.
He Xingzhou was already tempted; even though the Quantum Light Computer could unlock various technologies, designing still required them to continue designing, taking too long.
If there were successful samples to refer to, it would be so much more convenient!
Especially the 2.9-level civilization’s Star Destroyer, which could be said to be one of the most powerful weapons of the Second-level Civilization, second only to the Planet Level Ultimate Weapon mentioned by the Quantum Light Computer!
He Xingzhou looked at Bai Ningxiang and asked, "Is this reliable?"
Bai Ningxiang said, "For others, it’s not very reliable, but for you, there’s a chance."
She explained, "This contest is also called the newcomer contest, and only Level 1 civilizations can participate. A single contest lasts a hundred years! The constructions are evaluated comprehensively on items, difficulty, and completion level, and ranked according to the score."
