[Extracting Void Crystal]
[First bounty mission completed]
[Rating: Excellent]
[Opening bounty mission list and Bounty Commission list]
[Bounty mission list: Three bounty missions are displayed each cycle and refresh every hundred days]
[Bounty Commission list: Bounty missions issued by other lifeforms (issuers may come from the main universe, other dimensional universes/worlds, and so on)]
[Note: Bounty Commission issuers are all unaware of the Star of Truth]
[Distributing bounty rewards]
A bounty list? And Bounty Commissions?
A thoughtful look appeared in Qingyang's eyes, but he quickly turned his attention to the rewards.
Bounties had to be accepted voluntarily; they were not mandatory. He would deal with them when the time came.
The rewards were the priority right now!
First was Truth Knowledge. It took roughly five minutes to absorb the information within his mind.
Qingyang opened his eyes with an odd expression. This knowledge was actually teaching him how to use the additional effects of Commander Talents?
It seemed there was still a great deal of knowledge left locked away.
The additional effect—Commander's Shield?
After thinking for a moment, Qingyang extended a finger. A palm-sized, dodecahedral Dark Gold Shield appeared at his fingertip.
At Qingyang's command, the shield shifted into various forms.
It could even be applied directly to his internal organs!
"Since this is individual knowledge and it hasn't fully displayed, does that mean the additional effects of other protocols can also enhance personal power?"
As Qingyang considered this, his gaze had already landed on the trait.
[Ordinary Trait (Complete)]
[Extract?]
So it was still a gacha system?
Qingyang frowned. "Extract."
There had better not be blank or useless trash traits, or the Star of Truth's prestige would take a hit.
[Extracting.]
[Congratulations, you have obtained the trait—Intricate Pierce (Ordinary)]
[Basic Effect: Fleet armament +10% range, +10% firing rate]
[Additional Effect: Penetration Type main cannons +20% shield damage, Penetration Type main cannons +10% calibration efficiency]
There were no restrictions on the number or level of Starcraft?
Qingyang, who had not been particularly excited, suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Star of Truth, these bonuses have no restrictions? They can be used regardless of quantity or level?"
[Traits are permanent enhancements with no conditions or restrictions]
Qingyang froze, unable to put his wild joy into words.
Other than Commander Talents, all other bonuses had limitations. Starcraft levels and numbers both came with clear restrictions.
Even top-tier stellar weapons consumed Star Points and sometimes had usage time limits.
These traits had no restrictions whatsoever. They were practically no different from Commander Talents!!
The bonuses granted by Intricate Pierce were no weaker than those of a high-quality blue Commander Talent.
Then what about the other traits?
As long as he had enough powerful traits, Qingyang could sweep fleets of the same level even without stellar weapons, using nothing more than the most garbage Assault Ships.
"So traits are the Star of Truth's strongest function!"
Qingyang took several deep breaths to suppress the agitation in his heart, then immediately equipped the trait.
Then he looked toward the final tangible reward.
A Starship Blueprint produced by the Star of Truth!
[Generating blueprint]
[Confirmation complete—Expand?]
"Yes."
As the virtual screen unfolded, an extremely eye-catching Starcraft appeared before him.
It was also roughly rectangular, but more angular, and its material somewhat resembled translucent white crystal.
The overall design was filled with mechanical beauty, and even its energy circuits were brimming with sharp angles.
Numerous orbital weapons rotated around it, and it even had two hundred-meter-long floating secondary cannons!
[Please name the warship]
Qingyang smiled. He could even name the model himself?
"Then let's call it Chichen!"
[Chichen Type Battleship (T8) Master Blueprint]
[Addendum 1: The Master Blueprint is the source of blueprints. By investing Star Points and meeting specific data conditions, export-type blueprints can be produced.]
[Addendum 2: There is no limit to the number of warships produced from the Master Blueprint. Their overall combat power is 35% greater than that of export-type blueprints.]
"It's a battleship too?! I wonder if it's high-end."
The blueprint did not list any stats. He would only find out after producing one.
[According to Alliance evaluation standards, the Chichen export type belongs to the top tier.
Its overall combat data is 10% weaker than the Shining Moon Type, while requiring 25% fewer resources to build.]
Qingyang exclaimed, "Doesn't that mean the Master Chichen is 25% stronger than the Shining Moon Type?!"
After all, the Shining Moon Type represented the ceiling among T6 and below battleships. Even if the military wasted resources to customize one at the expense of cost-effectiveness, it would only be about 5% stronger.
Any stronger, and it would be classified as a top-tier T7 cruiser.
And now there was a T8 battleship that was inexpensive to build and even stronger than a top-tier T7 cruiser?!
Should he still build the Huiyue Type Battleship?
After considering it for a while, Qingyang still decided to keep building them.
After all, once fifty were built, they could upgrade the Moonlight Group into a T7 Battleship. It counted as preparing in advance.
Of course, the Chichen Type Battleship would not be neglected either.
The Chichen Battleship would be produced first, with the Shining Moon Type as the second priority.
Once he calmed down, Qingyang suddenly froze.
Wait, it could produce export-type blueprints? They were 10% weaker than the Shining Moon Type but required 25% fewer resources to build?!
Hiss!!!
At that moment, Qingyang seemed to see countless Star Points and a tidal wave of resources rushing toward him.
Combat capability above the middle of the top tier, with construction costs higher than high-end warships but far lower than top-tier ones.
This would be a market far larger than that of the Shining Moon Type!
"Calm down, calm down. This cannot be exposed before I have a T6 Fleet!!" Qingyang forcibly calmed himself.
The Alliance's laws were well-developed, and the network that enforced them was the Heavenly Rules Network, something akin to the Star Network.
Even the leaders of powerful nations possessed only lawful privileges and could not violate the law.
But when the gap was too great, even legal methods would be more than he could withstand.
He let out a breath, spent Star Points to Datafy the Master Blueprint, which had turned into a card, and placed it in his personal Star Network storage.
The Star Network was the inviolable bottom line of the entire Human Alliance. Its security was absolutely guaranteed.
These past few days had truly been exciting.
Ten star-sea days had passed since Saint You Great Armor appeared.
At the border of Charka Star Lake, three warships emerged from subspace one after another.
Hundreds of detection waves swept past in succession.
Qingyang was immediately stunned. Across a diameter of several light-years on the detection screen, signals representing warships were everywhere.
There were thousands of them!
Among them were quite a few powerful Starfleets.
"What's going on?"
Qingyang opened the Star Network Express in confusion, and immediately understood.
Several days earlier, more than ten T6 Fleets had arrived one after another from nearby. Among them was a fleet of over four thousand Starcraft.
It was a terrifying fleet whose foundation was entirely T6 Battleships, while its core flagship was an enormous T5 War Creation!
After only a few rounds of bombardment, it shattered Saint You Great Armor's formidable void force field.
However, at the instant Saint You Great Armor died, dozens of Void Swarm nest larvae flashed out from a Void Rift and scattered throughout Star Lake.
Because that terrifying T6 Fleet had border defense duties, it merely destroyed the rift and hurriedly departed.
The task of searching for and eliminating those dozens of Void Swarm nests naturally fell to the fleets that arrived later.
Military forces from more than ten surrounding nations had gathered, and their warship detection equipment had encircled Star Lake with virtually no blind spots!
Dozens of Starfleets were carefully searching Star Lake, while many more were still rushing over.
After all, a swarm formed from so many nests already counted as a small-scale Cosmic Disaster.
But this had little to do with Qingyang.
A T8 Fleet would struggle somewhat against the swarm, and even skirmishing at the edge of the battlefield would not earn much merit.
He had broadened his horizons, and he had also gained plenty of resources.
Qingyang did not linger and immediately prepared to leave.
As for where his next destination would be.

The next part would be warships blasting each other to pieces, and there would also be adventures in other civilizations!
