Starlight Points

"Little Master Su Ming, this is where you'll be staying!"

Monte's face was wreathed in smiles as he spoke to Su Ming.

Sure enough, strength and value were the best ways to earn respect.

Monte had originally treated Su Ming coldly, but now he had reserved the best employee dormitory for him.

Su Ming looked around. The employee dormitory was certainly not as comfortable as the Kellen Family's residences, but on a logistics planet like Planet Nop, the environment was already quite good!

Su Ming nodded in satisfaction before asking, "Captain Monte, what work will I usually need to do?"

Monte's face was wreathed in smiles as he said, "It's simple. Disassembling twenty components in a day counts as completing the workload. Each component pays one Star Coin, and any components beyond twenty will still earn you payment!"

"Of course, repairs and reassembly are paid as well. Repairing one component pays two Star Coins, while reassembly pays three!"

Monte paused, then spoke quietly to Su Ming. "At your level, Little Master Su, you'll definitely complete the task with ease, so..."

Monte glanced around and lowered his voice. "If you want to earn more Star Coins, you can consider taking outside jobs. I can bring some in for you. We'll just split the earnings fifty-fifty!"

After hearing Monte's words, Su Ming neither agreed nor disagreed. He smiled and said, "If I need anything later, I'll look for you, Mr. Monte. But for now, I should settle in first!"

Monte gave an awkward laugh and said, "Of course, of course! Let Little Master Su Ming get used to the environment first. I'll be leaving for now. If there's anything you don't know later, feel free to ask me anytime!"

"Thanks, Mr. Monte!"

After watching Monte leave the room, Su Ming immediately immersed his mind in his system.

At this moment, the system clearly showed 32 Starlight Points.

This was Su Ming's first time obtaining Starlight Points, so he naturally had to try them out.

According to the system's explanation, Starlight Points could be used for many things.

Cultivation, attacks, repairing the body, body tempering, and so on.

Clearly, they were currently only suitable for cultivation and body tempering!

Su Ming did not hesitate and directly chose cultivation.

Starry Sky Limitless Heavenly Art!

This was the cultivation art Su Ming had practiced continuously during the more than ten years when his consciousness had been sealed away by the system.

He had long since cultivated it to perfection.

At this moment, Su Ming effortlessly circulated the Starry Sky Limitless Heavenly Art.

Very soon, wisps of starlight descended from the sky into Su Ming's room before being absorbed into his body.

Whether day or night, starlight actually existed at all times.

The light of stars was also a form of starlight, and sunlight naturally counted as starlight as well!

After this starlight was absorbed into Su Ming's body, it immediately began circulating along a specific route.

This method of circulation contained a wondrous rhythm. As it circulated, Su Ming's body gradually became tougher and stronger.

Su Ming opened his eyes, a thoughtful look appearing in them.

At his current cultivation speed, it would probably take two weeks to advance to a Level 1 high-grade Gene Warrior.

Gene Warriors were divided into ten levels, corresponding to the ten times the genetic locks within the human body could be opened.

Every time a new genetic lock was opened, the body needed to accumulate a large amount of energy. Once it reached a certain level, the next genetic lock would open.

As the genetic locks opened, Gene Warriors would gain even greater power!

Su Ming was currently a Level 1 mid-grade Gene Warrior. In other words, to open his next genetic lock, he needed to accumulate enough energy in his body to reach Level 1 high-grade.

Only then could he open the next genetic lock and become a Level 2 Gene Warrior.

Suri was two years older than him and had opened his genetic locks two years earlier as well.

During those two years, Suri had advanced from a Level 1 Gene Warrior to a Level 4 Gene Warrior.

His rate of advancement was terrifyingly fast. Even in the empire, it was extremely rare!

If he continued cultivating at his current speed, he might not even be able to catch up with Suri. When they met again in the future, he might not even be able to defeat him.

After all, besides having a normal cultivation environment, Suri also had the cultivation resources provided by the Kellen Family. His cultivation speed was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Even if Su Ming's aptitude was better than Suri's, surpassing Suri without cultivation resources was still nearly impossible.

Su Ming could not accept that.

With Su Ming's personality, he was extremely vindictive!

Suri had tricked him when they were children. In the future, Su Ming would definitely get even!

With that thought, Su Ming did not hesitate. He directly used 5 Starlight Points in the system for cultivation.

Very soon, as the 5 Starlight Points were consumed, five wisps of exceptionally pure starlight surged from the system into Su Ming's body.

Sensing this pure and immense Starlight Energy, a thoughtful look appeared in Su Ming's eyes.

His Nine Radiance Star Saint Body was a special constitution that was half starlight and half flesh.

The reason Starlight Points could help him cultivate, temper his body, and attack was purely because his body was composed of Starlight Energy. With a large amount of Starlight Energy surging in, it could indeed help him accomplish all these things.

Su Ming did not hesitate. He quickly circulated his cultivation art, absorbing the starlight he had exchanged into his body.

The immense starlight immediately flooded into every corner of Su Ming's body, transforming into a part of him and strengthening his physique.

Su Ming opened his eyes, a trace of joy flashing through them.

The starlight contained in each Starlight Point was equivalent to one hour of absorbing Starlight Energy.

In other words, exchanging 24 Starlight Points would be equivalent to cultivating for an entire day.

Twenty-four Starlight Points were equivalent to one day of cultivation...

Su Ming silently noted down some of the characteristics of Starlight Points. He then exchanged the remaining Starlight Points for Starlight Energy again and slowly absorbed it into his body.

During a night of cultivation, Su Ming's body gradually became tougher as well.

Early the next morning, Su Ming woke up early. After casually washing up, he went to the mechanical repair workshop.

"Little Master Su Ming, you're here?"

"Morning, Little Master Su Ming!"

The mechanics he encountered in the workshop had not forgotten the shock Su Ming had brought them the day before. Upon seeing him now, each of them wore a smile as they greeted him.

Su Ming did not put on airs. He smiled and nodded at the mechanics before coming to his workbench, skillfully picking up a basket of mechanical components, and immediately beginning to disassemble them.
