章 11: Last Test Before Death
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
When others relied on luck and time to capture a alternate space's signal, open a alternate space battlefield and obtain source points.
The strength of Lin Dong's personal support system was reflected.
1 of the optional functions of his personal support system was to capture a alternate space's signal. Each time, 1 low-grade mineral crystal was consumed, the personal support system would be able to assist the Spark battleship to capture a alternate space's signal.
Most importantly, Lin Dong did not need to choose a good place to use the optional function!
When Lin Dong was piloting the Spark battleship, he would not be as miserable as the others. He would not need to deliberately find a good place and travel around in a small area in order to capture the signals.
It was fine for him to stay there for a couple hours. However, if he were to stay there for a couple months, he would be a little like a fool. In fact, he would even hope that the Goddess of Luck to help him.
On the contrary, Lin Dong did not need the Goddess of Luck. He could take the initiative himself and open an alternate space battlefield whenever he wanted.
It was significant for Lin Dong to have such a function.
As for the 2nd optional function, the double source points acquisition meant that it was easier and more efficient for Lin Dong to obtain source points.
Lin Dong was currently the 3rd commander of the Thunder Fire. The efficiency of obtaining the source points was 25%. However, by activating his 2nd optional function, he was equivalent to a 2nd generation commander.
With his 2nd optional function, piloting a 2nd generation battleship was equivalent to the 1st generation. Once Lin Dong possessed the 1st generation battleship, his rate of obtaining source points was double that of the other 1st generation commanders!
One step at a time, and Lin Dong would succeed. He would be able to bridge the gap and increase his combat power.
In the early stages, he had only used low-grade mineral crystals. It was not easy to obtain them, but the outcome was acceptable.
While Lorne was explaining, he was also observing Lin Dong. When he saw that Lin Dong's joyful expression, he knew that Lin Dong was excited.
In Lorne heart, he immediately understood that Lin Dong was beginning to imagine that he was the chosen one.
Every young man had such a fantasy. However, reality would teach them to lower their heads and admit that they were lacking.
"Brat, work hard and you'll succeed."
Lin Dong replied with a smile. He would not reveal even a tiny bit of information about the personal support system. It was fine if he was misunderstood.
Lorne softly sighed when he saw this. "You'll understand in the future."
"In the future, remember to maintain your concentration when you encounter a alternate space signal. Don't get to excited."
Capturing a alternate space signal and opening the battlefield did not mean that Lin Dong would have a smooth journey and randomly harvest the source points.
The Spark battleship would randomly appear within the territory of a different civilization after entering the alternate space.
According to the different combat power of the Spark battleship, the strength of the civilization that it faced each time was different. In order to obtain the source points, Lin Dong had to destroy that civilization. There was simply no possibility of peaceful coexistence.
This kind of battle between different civilizations was even crueler than between races.
Every year, many Spark battleships had gone missing after they entered the alternate space battlefield. They never appeared again. Their corpses and remains could not be seen as well.
Lin Dong was silent. He nodded his head and said, "I will take note."
The alternate space battlefield that the Spark battleships were in was the territory of others. Other than fighting one against many, they did not have any support.
This was a true battle. If they died, they would die without anybody knowing it.
Different Spark battleships would not be able to enter the same battlefield unless there was a special situation.
In fact, the number of Spark battleships that were destroyed in the alternate space was far higher than the number of battleships that they used to expand their territory in this universe.
This was something that could not be helped. If they wanted to develop and expand, they had to venture into other dimensions.
Only powerful warriors that had trained hard had the right to protect the human civilization and climb higher.
After Lorne sighed, he seemed to have thought of something, and he said, "Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you that the initial enhancement of the ship module of the Spark battleship only requires source points and some common mineral resources. After that, you'll need better mineral resources."
"Common mineral resources are easy to find. Those rare mineral resources have already been monopolized by the privileged class. Now, you only inherited my battleship, but your identity is still a commoner, and you don't have a lot of connections."
"This is a problem that you will have to solve in the future."
"Commoners are unable to come into contact with the rare and precious mineral resources. Don't even think about disguising your identity. They'll be able to tell at a glance whether you are a privileged class or not. As for how to think of a solution, that is something that you will have to deal with. I'll only give you a reminder."
Lin Dong nodded.
There was nothing to complain about these difficulties. Lorne was still being hunted down, but he did not kill Lin Dong. He even let Lin Dong inherit his battleship.
Although Lorne had his own purpose, Lin Dong still had to be grateful.
The privileged class had been scheming since the beginning. They had developed to this day, controlling the Spark battleship for 3 generations and strictly forbidding the spread of rare mineral resources to the non-privileged class.
Unless Lin Dong had connections with the privileged class, it was difficult to get hold of the rare minerals.
Through this method, the privileged class controlled the high-end military force, thus achieving the goal of stable rule.
The privileged class was divided into different forces, fighting and competing with each other. This kind of internal strife increased their vitality to a certain extent, so that they would not be corrupted by power.
In this interstellar era, it was not easy to upgrade to a different class, and it had become even harder to advance.
The commoner class, no matter how much money they earned, would not be able to obtain resources like the 1st generation Spark battleship.
As for the meditation technique, it was even more impossible.
The 4th generation battleship was something that the commoner could obtain if they spent a huge amount of money.
After explaining everything, Lorne closed his eyes as his breathing became weaker. It seemed like his life was about to come to an end.
He sighed softly. "Speaking of which, the Thunder Flash is actually the most ordinary Spark battleship of our family."
"When my family was ambushed by the Sylvester family, coupled with the information from the mole, 20 highly strengthened Spark battleships that we originally had were all destroyed. As the only lucky person of the direct bloodline, I managed to escape with great difficulty."
"Later on, I returned and inherited part of the assets that the family head had secretly hidden. After that, I've been fighting against the Sylvester family. However, I've achieved almost nothing in the past few decades. It's like the Sylvester family letting me go and giving the youngsters in their family a chance to gain experience."
"None of the pursuers are older than 40 years old."
"If you kill him and deactivate the Nano-bomb robots, it's best for you to find a random planet and hide. The Sylvester family does not have any information about you, so it is very likely that you'll be able to hide from them."
"The Sylvester family is unbreakable."
Lorne seemed to have become a good person at the last moment of his life, and he began to think about Lin Dong's survival.
If Lin Dong was an ordinary person, he would probably be so moved that tears would flow out.
Lin Dong might even tell him what was on his mind.
However, Lin Dong's heart skipped a beat, as he immediately focused his attention.
As expected. Lorne was really a vicious person who had pestered the Sylvester family for decades. He was still trying to test Lin Dong at the last moment of his life.
