Section 30

Closing the official website of the Interstellar Hunter Guild, Xu Zi'an opened the Space Relay Station's shopping platform and began selecting the components, metals, and various Materials needed for brilliant's Evolution.

First and foremost, the exploration radar absolutely had to be installed!

brilliant was equipped with two types of radar: a targeting radar and an exploration radar.

The former locked onto enemy targets to assist in offense.

The latter was used to explore the surrounding environment and other starship targets.

The former could be ignored; brilliant did not have missile launchers, and the function of assisting the main cannon and secondary cannon in targeting… was far less intuitive than Xu Zi'an aiming himself.

The 'Thousand-Mile Eye Series' 22nd generation exploration radar from the Ultra-Precision Production Group.

This was the most suitable detection radar Xu Zi'an had carefully selected for brilliant.

The price was not cheap, a hefty seventy-eight thousand yuan, which was eighteen thousand more than the combined cost of four secondary cannons and two anti-air cannons.

With a high price, the effect naturally wouldn't be poor.

Xu Zi'an was confident that after Fusion with brilliant and an upgrade in quality based on brilliant's foundation, this detection radar would perform no worse, and likely better, than Qin Fuyue's glory's detection radar!

Xu Zi'an no longer wanted to be a blind man.

With the detection radar, he was no longer blind.

Xu Zi'an also no longer wanted to be a person without clothes.

What did it mean to be without clothes?

It meant others could easily detect him, even brilliant's Rank could be detected clearly.

This was absolutely not what Xu Zi'an wanted.

Stealth devices and stealth coatings also had to be arranged for this Evolution.

Besides that.

The glass in brilliant's cockpit was also going to be replaced.

During the first Evolution, due to financial constraints, brilliant's glass was just the most ordinary composite glass.

This time, the replacement would at least involve purchasing glass that could withstand several main cannon shells.

The communicator… forget it, replace that too.

This item concerned his own face… Xu Zi'an still cared about his reputation.

As for the main cannon, secondary cannon, anti-air cannon, engine, and other such items.

Xu Zi'an believed there was no need to continue improving their quality or replacing them during the second Evolution.

The remaining money was all used to purchase the metals and Materials needed for Evolution to Rank 2.

The increase in starship Rank, in fact, only involved a deep optimization of various aspects of the starship's strength.

The starship as a whole became stronger, more agile, and coordinated in its movements.

The size and volume of a starship could only be increased through Evolution at the starship's tier level.

Although it was only a deep optimization.

It still required an Evolutionist to provide a rigorous and detailed Evolution plan!

Otherwise, it was possible that a certain Material was used incorrectly, or the weight calculation was wrong when a certain metal was fused… In minor cases, it would lead to a decrease in the overall quality of the starship; even if the Rank went up, the decrease in quality would greatly reduce its Combat power and survivability, leading to numerous situations where the post-Evolution state was far inferior to the pre-Evolution state.

In severe cases, needless to say, either something would explode here or break there, or it would directly turn into a pile of scrap metal.

This highlighted the importance of an Evolutionist… no, it should be said, the importance of a powerful Evolutionist!

Very few Captains would choose an unknown Evolutionist to casually perform their Evolution; they would willingly pay a higher price.

This led to a phenomenon today—

Powerful Evolutionists with high Ranks and high success rates became highly sought-after, high-end existences for all Captains.

Evolutionists with low Ranks and no Evolution experience… or even those with a few Evolution experiences but whose Evolution plans were ordinary and unremarkable, were almost completely ignored.

Not to mention Xu Zi'an, who hadn't even passed the Evolutionist assessment.

This was also why he hadn't considered making money from the Evolutionist path at the moment—

Even that silly girl Qin Fuyue might not be fooled into trusting him, let alone others.

After a shopping spree.

His originally ample balance plummeted again.

From three to four hundred thousand, it became twenty-five thousand yuan… five thousand of which was for leasing a starship factory!

Fortunately, everything needed for the second Evolution had been purchased.

And the second Evolution would again be a huge change in brilliant's Combat power and survivability.

This money was well spent!

At this moment, a still-generous dinner was also brought up by the food delivery robot.

Xu Zi'an happily enjoyed the delicious meal.

Then, he lay down on the bed.

With a thought.

Consume 10 Wealth Points.

Select… [Combat Simulation] from [Actual Combat Simulation]!

He had always wanted to go in and see.

Now.

He finally had time to see how this Combat Simulation differed from the Star War and Evolution Simulations!

Xu Zi'an believed.

It would definitely not disappoint him.

Chapter 27 Blood and Death

Disappointment?

No, no, no!

Xu Zi'an was not disappointed, but he regretted it!

He regretted coming in so rashly.

He regretted boldly rushing in without learning the various Combat skills specific to Biological Martial Artist!

In the Age of Interstellar Navigation in the Universe.

Biological starships were indeed the main theme.

But!

Biological Martial Artist, however, absolutely could not be ignored for its immense importance!

Although… almost all Biological Captains, when hostile, would choose to resolve everything with starships… this was indeed true.

But!

What if your starship was destroyed?

And you just happened to survive by chance, then what, wait to die?!

Obviously impossible.

While strengthening one's Star War capabilities, one's own strength must also be taken into account.

One's own strength was the ultimate bottom line for survival.

Not only that.

Truly powerful Biological Martial Artist… they were absolutely terrifying existences capable of plucking stars and moons!

For example, War King powerhouses!

They could briefly fly in the Universe purely with their Physical Body!

Xu Zi'an had once seen a video.
