Short-Term Goal, Qingyundao's Connection

The confirmation of the Star Sea Youth League's hosting time quickly spread throughout the Alliance, and all of human civilization erupted in excitement!

Even Qingyang, who was far out in the frontier, received the news immediately.

Before Qingyang could examine it closely, a cheer suddenly erupted from the surrounding Star Port area.

Four days had passed since he arrived at this Star Port, and there was only one more day before the Eternal Fleet would set sail again.

He hadn't expected such shocking news to suddenly break.

Qingyang's thoughts churned, "The Star Sea Youth League..."

There were only a few events that could cause the entire Alliance to erupt in excitement, besides the unshakeable Star Sea Festival held once every hundred Star Sea years.

The event with the highest attention was the Youth League.

It was a grand occasion that gathered all the Prodigies of the entire Alliance, involving over a thousand types of competitions, covering military, scientific research, and even entertainment.

Each Youth League would produce many top Prodigies with terrifying fame!

Among them, the Extraordinary and Starship Commanders created the most popular figures, followed by scientific research and other projects.

Qingyang opened the Second World, which covered the entire Alliance, and immediately saw the most prominent section on the homepage.

[Youth League] [Hosting time confirmed, specific details are as follows]

Qingyang's brow furrowed slightly. "A fifty-year age limit, at least a veteran T7 Fleet... I probably won't get very good results in my first participation, right?"

Those exceptionally talented and powerful Prodigy Captains, already strong, would have several more decades to develop.

Even with the Star of Truth, Qingyang still lacked the confidence to catch up to those top Prodigies in just over three years.

Buzz~

The control room door opened.

Qingyang snapped back from his deep thoughts and looked at Gu Xue and Gu Xing as they walked in.

"Brother Qingyang, did you see the news about the Youth League?" Gu Xue quickly walked up to Qingyang, full of excitement.

Qingyang nodded, "Mm, but I feel like my first time participating will just be a trial run. I remember the rewards for the Potential List are very generous."

The Alliance set a fifty-year age limit to allow people to participate twice. Although the first time wouldn't allow him to compete with the Prodigies on the overall list, there was still the Prodigy Newcomer List.

The rewards were equally high, and their weight and exposure were not much lower than the overall list. It was a list established by the Alliance to identify powerful newcomer Prodigies early on and provide them with development resources, as well as to ensure that newcomer Prodigies could reach their full potential.

Gu Xue kept nodding, "Yes, yes, the rewards on the Prodigy Newcomer List are something even a veteran T6 Fleet would covet."

Although they were all in the same venue, their competitors were different. With such generous rewards, of course, they had to participate.

Coincidentally, the frontier was the most efficient region for obtaining resources. On the way to the frontier, they could explore Dimensional Worlds a few more times. Shortly after arriving at the frontier, he should be able to try to upgrade to a T7 Fleet.

With this thought, Qingyang stopped thinking erratically.

"We have one last day to rest, and we'll set off again early the next morning."

"Understood!"

Qingyang returned to his living quarters. Before he could enter a state of mental meditation, a panel suddenly popped up on the Star Net.

[Star Commander, you have a communication request.]

A communication request?

He accepted the request with confusion, and then a figure appeared on the screen.

It was Qingyundao, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Qingyundao seemed to be in a very chaotic place, with a blurry and indistinct background, and occasional roars that shook the spiritual domain could be heard. However, Qingyundao showed no unusual signs at the moment, his expression still refined and peaceful.

"Dad?" Qingyang was a little surprised.

Qingyundao smiled and nodded, "It's been a while. You seem to be doing well recently."

Qingyang immediately smiled. "Of course, who do you think I am?"

"You rascal, did you know about the Youth League?" Qingyundao asked with a smile.

Qingyang's expression turned serious, "Mm, for my first participation, I plan to compete for a spot on the Prodigy Newcomer List. But Dad, what level are those Prodigies around forty or fifty years old?"

"Ordinary contestants aside, to compete for a spot on the overall list, one must at least be a veteran T6 Fleet. Many of them are Silver Fleets, and there are quite a few Gold T6 Fleets as well," Qingyundao explained.

Although he had guessed long ago that those Prodigies with top talent, abilities, and strong backgrounds and resources would be terrifying, Qingyang was still stunned when he heard it.

As far as he knew, even at the age of a hundred, possessing a Silver T6 Fleet was considered a top Prodigy.

Reaching T6 Perfection for Mental Threshold is one thing, but controlling Gold and Silver tier T6 fleets isn't something perfection alone can achieve.

It requires at least Perfection +10.

Furthermore, after reaching Perfection, enhancing Mental Threshold without upgrading requires constantly venturing into Dimensional Worlds, achieving high scores, and obtaining powerful opportunities.

Veteran fleets can be built up with resources, but Gold and Silver tier commanders must possess extremely formidable abilities themselves.

Qingyundao looked at Qingyang and asked, "What's your Mental Threshold level now?"

"T8 Perfection +3," Qingyang replied directly.

"T8 +3 is already good, but it's not enough,"

Qingyundao stated directly, "I have something that can enhance your Mental Threshold to +4. Also, when you reach T7, try to get your Mental Threshold to +5. The higher, the better."

Dad has something like this?

This is more than just being rich, right?

"I understand," Qingyang nodded.

Qingyang fell silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Seeing this, Qingyang also remained quiet, his eyes flickering.

The more I look at my dad, the more I feel he's not simple. Maybe I should hand over the Chichen matter to him?

Other Prodigies are stuck on their Mental Threshold, while I'm stuck on resources, which is too unbearable.

"Coincidentally, I have a special Star Weapon that's suitable for you. I'll send it over later,"

Qingyundao finally spoke.

Qingyang felt a slight joy internally, then hesitated for a few seconds before mentioning the Chichen Battleship master blueprint.

Qingyundao only showed slight surprise, "Researching a Starship isn't difficult. What's difficult is gaining recognition from the Starfleet Commander System.

Since a master version has already been generated, there's no problem.

A top-tier T8 Battleship with significantly lower material costs than the Shining Moon Type is indeed a cake with an extremely large market."

"Since that's the case, leave it to me. However, it will take at least two years to see initial profits," Qingyundao said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Qingyang directly sent the data of the Chichen master blueprint to Qingyundao.

As long as he had the real-time data of the master blueprint and authorized it through the Star Net, external sales blueprints could be produced without the master blueprint.

The data for the master blueprint changed once a day, and it could be set to auto-update.

As for the resources and equipment needed to manufacture external blueprints, Qingyang believed these wouldn't be difficult for Qingyundao.

After a few more brief conversations, Qingyundao ended the communication due to other matters.

Qingyang remained, still contemplating.

Not about Qingyundao's thoughts, but about the sounds in the background that, even through the communication, made him feel mentally uncomfortable.

What was that?

I really want to see it.

Just then, the Star Net data transmission delivered the two items Qingyundao had given him.

Besides a bottle of liquid shimmering with purple light, the other was the special Star Weapon Qingyundao had mentioned.

He directly poured the liquid into his mouth, then looked at the bottle.

[Oral intake not recommended. Of course, unless your Mental Threshold is exceptionally strong.]
