Investing Source Points in this area offered far more value than simply stacking upgrades to the Shipborne Module's level!
Upgrading the Shipborne Module's level only brought about a "quantitative change."
And not a particularly noticeable one, at that.
But evolving a red-quality module, or modifying one of its traits,
often brought about a "qualitative change"!
The choice
was obvious.
Upgrades to the Shipborne Module would continue.
Just not now.
At least, not until he finished "evolving" and "modifying" the modules aboard the ship.
Wang Dong had no plans to spend Source Points on that for the time being.
After the Shipborne Module came the auxiliary modules.
These made up the bulk of the Sky Peng Horizontal's Shipborne Modules!
The first was the purple-quality strategic module, "Chapter of Gale."
"Would you like to spend 5 million Source Points to evolve 'Chapter of Gale' to gold quality?
Note: To retain this module's upgrade level, an additional 18,000 Source Points and 180 Titanium Crystals are required."
"Yes!"
Wang Dong was now so flush with cash that he hardly cared about such a trifling expense.
The Source Points and Titanium Crystals were deducted.
Before long, "Chapter of Gale" had completed its evolution.
[Chapter of Gale (Gold) (LV.40), Trait: Destined Gale. Puts up to 20,000 warships into a raiding state, increasing their speed by 150%. Energy Consumption: 10 points/ship, charge time: 1 minute, duration: 24 hours, buffer time: 30 minutes. Note: Applicable in all navigation states Upgrade requirements: 1. Source Points: 4,500; 2. Titanium Crystals: 18 units]
The boost to its base attributes was within expectations.
However, "Chapter of Gale" hadn't gained a new trait during its evolution.
But Wang Dong didn't mind.
Because
the biggest change to "Chapter of Gale" was that its previous note, "Only applicable during conventional navigation," had changed
