Gou Dan listened very seriously this time. Back at the base, he had always treated the Star Sea as a game, so he had not paid much attention to the divisions into levels one and two at first. But he had never expected to learn from Lanaia that these so-called numerical levels really were the Federation's ranking system. He was completely stunned...
He had assumed Dog Lord had simply found it too troublesome to make the system more detailed, but who would have thought it was really this casual?
Seeing Gou Dan's expression, how could Lanaia not know what he was thinking?
She explained blandly, "The Federation is vast, and there are tens of millions upon tens of millions of species. Any species that has developed to some extent has its own unique system for classifying power, but those standards can't be applied across the entire Federation. After all, different species are different."
"Take goblins, for example. Their race has classifications like Green Field, Iron Soul, Giant, and Epic. But applying that system to the Federation would be ridiculous, because in the eyes of most species, there really isn't... much difference between a Green Field-level goblin and a Giant-level goblin..."
"For powerful species, the gap between a single level within their race might be equivalent to the gap between more than ten levels among certain low-level creatures. That's the difference in bloodlines. So the Federation unified the classification of power. The reason the names are so simple is to simplify the complicated level names of every species. After all, the species don't share languages or cultures, and complicated names can easily cause misunderstandings. So they simply used numbers, from one to twenty. That way, everyone could basically understand them. No matter the species, simple numbers are always easy to comprehend..."
