"Brother, can I apply to visit the Virtual Universe? I heard there are real silicon-based civilizations there. It would be great to communicate with them!" He Mengyao looked eagerly at He Xingzhou. The Blue Star Civilization only has one subspace communication device, which can only transmit five streams of information, making it very difficult to access the Virtual Universe.
"Lu Mi, how are the personnel arrangements for the Virtual Universe lately?" He Xingzhou asked.
Lu Mi replied, "There are still three slots available today. Mr. Wen Heng is at the office; Mr. Xu Tengbin is learning at the interstellar construction conference."
He Xingzhou said, "Alright, after we eat, we can go have a look. I also want to stroll around the Civilization Arena!"
"Yay! Big brother is the best!" He Mengyao laughed.
At this time, Jiang Manrong walked over with dishes and said, "It’s good to check out the Virtual Universe. If you can’t find a boyfriend on Blue Star, you can find an alien in the Virtual Universe. As long as it’s a humanoid, we can accept it."
"Hahaha!" He Xingzhou and Xu Zhilan couldn’t help but laugh.
After a simple meal, He Xingzhou took Xu Zhilan and He Mengyao to the base where the subspace communicator was installed for consciousness connection.
A few seconds later, their consciousnesses were in the Virtual Universe.
Here, Bai Ningxiang had been waiting for them for a while, as He Xingzhou had informed her in advance.
Bai Ningxiang naturally knew Xu Zhilan but it was her first time meeting He Mengyao.
"Hello, Miss Bai." He Mengyao greeted proactively.
"Are you He Xingzhou’s sister?" Bai Ningxiang carefully looked at her and said, "I feel like you look a bit familiar."
"Is it because of my brother? But I don’t really look like my brother!" He Mengyao said.
"No, no!" Bai Ningxiang thought for a moment and said, "Don’t you think He Mengyao looks a lot like the Order Angel?"
"Huh?" Hearing her words, both He Xingzhou and Xu Zhilan were taken aback. When they looked at He Mengyao again, they were surprised.
He Mengyao is naturally beautiful, no doubt about it, and has been praised for her looks and figure, matching the golden ratio, since she was young. Many girls envy this about her.
With Bai Ningxiang’s remark, He Xingzhou now thought that He Mengyao’s facial shape indeed resembled that of the Order Angel in Order Square!
Xu Zhilan even gestured, "If she had wings, she really would resemble one!"
Curious, He Mengyao asked, "What is an Order Angel?"
Bai Ningxiang explained, "It’s the silicon-based lifeform that maintains order in the Order Alliance’s Virtual Universe."
"Then maybe I was an angel in my past life!" He Mengyao said narcissistically.
"Don’t be so vain!" He Xingzhou retorted.
They toured around the Initial City, and everything fascinated He Mengyao. The various civilizations and aliens in the universe broadened her view of the universe!
Seeing and experiencing it is completely different from just reading about it.
When they arrived at Order Square, she even compared herself to the Order Angel and found that her facial shape was indeed similar.
She tried to communicate with the Order Angel, but it floated in the air like a statue, completely ignoring her.
"So aloof! Robots are hard to communicate with!" He Mengyao whispered.
"Alright, we’ve almost finished our tour. It’s time for business!" He Xingzhou said to Bai Ningxiang, "Let’s head to the Civilization Arena!"
"Finally, that part is here!" Bai Ningxiang was eager. She came today as a "guide" just to visit the Civilization Arena.
He Xingzhou visited the Civilization Arena to enhance his understanding of interstellar warfare and improve weapons.
The Mars war made him realize that Blue Star Civilization’s space military strength wasn’t strong. Without utilizing the super dust storms, they wouldn’t have defeated the Mars Insect Clan.
He always believed it’s safer to rely on oneself. Even if the Black Sea Civilization currently agreed to temporarily restrain the Maoshi Star Union, what if they changed their minds?
What if the Maoshi Star Union still launched a strong attack?
Civilizations are not individuals; their thoughts and decisions are influenced by countless factors. It’s hard to predict, so he must be fully prepared!
"Civilization Arena!" Xu Zhilan was also full of anticipation.
After the New Era began, He Xingzhou left daily work to artificial intelligence, and Xu Zhilan started learning how to operate and command warships. She wanted to become a competent captain and commander, ready to help when He Xingzhou needed it.
The times have changed, and her former skills as a special forces soldier and mecha operator now seemed somewhat outdated.
The group followed Bai Ningxiang to the upper level of Initial City, to a large floating gate.
Inside the gate was a vast starry sky!
"Is this where the simulated battlefield is?" He Mengyao exclaimed, "It’s so beautiful here, like there’s a universe inside the gate!"
Bai Ningxiang rubbed her hands excitedly, "It’s been a while, and this time I’m going to make a huge profit!"
They walked through the Star Gate and instantly found themselves on a planet.
"Welcome to the Civilization Arena!" A black-winged Order Angel appeared and introduced, "You can engage in free competition, ranked competition, or special competition here."
"Before competing, you need to re-certify your Civilization Level and input information on the weapons your civilization uses."
He Xingzhou didn’t mind; they were a Level 1 Civilization, and any weapon would be considered primitive by the Order Alliance.
He input some information into the subspace communicator and let it begin scanning. Soon, Tuanzi said, "Certification complete. The Blue Star Civilization Level has been upgraded from 1.0 to 1.2."
"The relevant weapons have been recorded. You may start your civilization competition journey!"
