Noah's Zone - The Blue Card

Tang Chuan marveled at the Grotesque Pirates' peculiar logic.
Changing the subject, distorting concepts, disregarding the law – they were quite adept at it.
However, the atmosphere around him felt rather strange. The way the crew members looked at him made him uncomfortable.
This was Noah's Zone. Did they really dare to rob someone?
Tang Chuan browsed the stalls without a care, picking up an item here and there to examine. The tall, first mate, carrying his multiple limbs, approached him and said, "As long as I don't join you, the items are much more expensive than what's sold outside. But I don't have any plans to join a space pirate crew for now."
The first mate smiled and said, "You won't lose out by joining us. You can choose to be a nominal member. We'll also issue you a blue card for Noah's Zone to our outer members."
Tang Chuan spread his hands and said, "Bring it here."
The first mate blinked. "What?"
Tang Chuan looked at him. "You haven't even considered the consequences of joining the ship. You're straightforward, I like that. Why don't you just join us? Moreover, even if you join the ship, you can choose to be a nominal member. We'll also issue you a blue card for Noah's Zone to our outer members."
Tang Chuan looked at their exaggerated advertising slogans and shook his head, feeling speechless. "Joining the ship is out of the question. I think the advertisements are a bit over the top and not very convincing. I suggest you change them."
"Becoming a Deity is not a dream!"
"Sign a hundred-year contract upon joining the ship. If you don't possess a Level 9 Civilization planet within a hundred years, we'll give you a tenfold refund!"
"Operating outside the law is our motto. The entire crew winning together is our principle."
"Today you are a tourist in Noah's Zone, tomorrow you will be the master of Noah's Zone!"
Look at what they've written.
They're even using "becoming a deity" as a slogan.
If they were that capable, would they still need to set up stalls to recruit people?
The first mate shook his head. "Young man, you're just too young. I can tell you clearly, our slogans are from the heart, completely accurate, and have a complete plan!"
Tang Chuan looked up at him, who seemed to be speaking with utmost seriousness. "Alright, then tell me, what's the first step you plan to take to cultivate a deity?"
The first mate released Tang Chuan's shoulder and put his hands behind his back. "Do you know about the 'Sakasis' civilization?"
Tang Chuan received information from Quintessa in his mind and nodded. "I do. It's the wealthiest Level 9 Civilization nearby, possessing many rare mineral deposits. Its people are even more prosperous than those of a Level 8 Civilization. However, what does that have to do with your pirate crew?"
If you say your background is the Sakasis civilization, that's still not enough!
A mere Level 9 Civilization, no matter how wealthy, still wants to create a deity?
The first mate said with an air of wisdom, "How is it unrelated? It's very much related. The first step in our deity-creation plan is to rob the national bank of Sakasis!"
Tang Chuan was utterly speechless and said, "I can't understand your logic. Let's just talk about the blue card."
The first mate leaned closer to him and said earnestly, "Don't you understand? If you want to create a deity, you need resources. If you want resources, you need money. If you want money, wouldn't you have to rob a bank?"
Tang Chuan couldn't help but laugh and cry. What kind of logic was this?
Up to this point, Tang Chuan still quite admired these strange people, but joining their ship was absolutely out of the question.
Watching the show and being a nominal member was fine. Giving them a fake identity, these dimwits wouldn't see through it.
Tang Chuan said, "Alright, I support you in spirit, but I won't actually participate. Do you have the blue card or not? If not, I'm leaving."
Unexpectedly, the first mate suddenly said, "To rob a bank, you need manpower. To get manpower, you need to advertise. We don't let go
