Run After Bragging, So Thrilling

Returning to the original spot, Feng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that the starship fleet was still some distance away.

If the main force had reached this area, this powerful Star Weapon would likely have had nothing to do with him.

"Upgrade all Star Weapons and the Core to Lv10!"

After a momentary surprise at the sheer number of Star Points, Feng Xiao issued the command immediately.

[Core: Lv10 (0/80,000)]

[Starship Level: Lv25

(Advanced Starship Lv21--Lv40)]

"Although I expected it, reaching an Advanced Starship in one go is still quite a surprise."

Feng Xiao was filled with emotion. While any starship could reach the Advanced level within a year, the problem was that Star Origin had only been active for a month or two!

Perhaps it was slower compared to the young captains from the powerful nations or major factions of the Star Sea Human Alliance, but in the Morton Galaxy, this was definitely considered rapid!

Most importantly, after reaching the Advanced Starship level, the Legendary Hull augmentation provided an additional eight Star Weapon slots!!

The number of ship cannons had even increased from four to eight, each with an attack power of 100!

Furthermore, an energy missile system had been added, featuring twenty missile launch bays. Each missile had an attack power of 25 and a wide blast radius!

Their power was equivalent to a reinforced, radiation-free small-scale nuclear fusion missile.

They were best suited for clearing out small fry, and the missiles would automatically replenish at a cost of twenty Star Points each.

[Starship: Star Origin (Legendary)

Level: Lv25

Skill: Primary Immortal Hull (Passive)

Hull Length: 1800 (m)

Armament: Ship Cannon ×8, Missile System ×1

Star Weapon Slots: 12 (4 used)

Equipped Star Weapons:

Blue: Fierce Star (Main Cannon), Mystic Azure Armor (Shield), Titanium Steel Armor, Star Matrix

Augmentation: Immortal (Active)]

Now, not only could he use the Storm Piercer, but even that unexpectedly acquired Red-quality shield Star Weapon could be immediately integrated and put to use!

At that time, the combat power of the Star Origin would skyrocket to an exaggerated degree, to the point where even those veteran elite-class starships would be unable to threaten it.

"Haha! I never expected this Zerg hunt to yield 600,000 Star Points, directly pushing the Star Origin to a high-level starship."

2,000 damage, 8,000 shield, 4,000 armor—high-level starships within the Morton Galaxy definitely didn't possess such stats!

Blue-grade star weapons shouldn't be this powerful.

However, the shield would soon exceed a mere 8,000 energy value...

The only pity was that a single starship could only be equipped with one shield star weapon and one armor star weapon.

Feng Xiao rubbed his hands together: "Immediately replace the Mystic Azure Armor and equip the Eternal Sun Wall!"

[Please note:

1: The starship level remains unchanged after replacement, but the replaced star weapon must be upgraded to the level previously held by the original star weapon (lv10) before the starship level can continue to increase.

2: The data of the stripped star weapon will be reset, and it will lose the bonus from the legendary captain's talent.

3: Based on the current combat and daily Star Point consumption of the Star Origin, please reserve 50,000 Star Points.

4: Upgrading a red-grade star weapon requires not only a large amount of Star Points but also other resources. If there are no resources available, please consider this carefully.]

Reading the prompts provided by the starship AI and glancing at his balance of 210,000 Star Points, he confirmed without hesitation.

"Replace immediately!"

[Shield star weapon replaced]

[Eternal Sun Wall: Shield

Quality: Red

Level: lv0

(50,000 Star Points + 5 Titanium)

Energy: 20,000 (+4,000 per level)

Recovery: 100/s

Skill: Endless Blazing Sun (Passive)

Effect: Reduces incoming enemy energy attacks and physical attacks by 15%. When attacked, the reduced damage is converted 1:1 into shield value!

Buff: When stationed near a star, shield recovery speed +100%.]

[Legendary hull and talent in effect...]

[Shield: 20,000 increased to--40,000

(+4,000 per level)]

The series of star weapon stats left Feng Xiao and the other two stunned. They had originally thought that although the legendary talent was incredibly powerful, it was still lv0 and likely wouldn't affect a red-grade star weapon.

They hadn't expected it to actually work.

A shield value of 40,000!!!

Even elite-class starships didn't have 40,000 shield points, did they?

Even for newly commissioned Star-Land Class starships, most couldn't reach such a level, and the most important thing was that this was just the initial value.

Not to mention the monstrous buffs and passive skills!

Feng Xiao opened his mouth, finding himself speechless, and could only accept this dream-like reality.

However...

"Why didn't the Heart of Dawn let me choose a skill and buff this time..."

[At least an Epic-grade item]

It actually answered?

Feng Xiao shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the Star Origin, which looked slightly different after its slight expansion.

His heart was filled with pride.

In less than two months, he had developed his starship to such a degree!

He wouldn't dare say he could absolutely compare to those geniuses within the civilization, but who else was there in the Morton Galaxy?

"Brothers, once we get the Storm Piercer, let's begin our true journey!"

Feng Xiao laughed heartily, his mind already reaching those truly dangerous places; that was what exploration was all about!

Instead of staying in an original, ecological 'hunting ground' like Qiansen Star Lake, which only had scenery and Star Beasts.

This was the definition of Qiansen Star Lake.

If it weren't for the fact that the Star Origin's survivability was too weak and he wasn't very familiar with real starship combat, he wouldn't have had any interest in Qiansen Star Lake.

Since, due to various accidents, both the Star Origin and he himself had been tested, it was time to start the real exploration...

The civilization battlefield, undeveloped areas of the universe, major wild star regions, unknown dangerous places, and so on...

"Prepare to act according to the original plan."

Forcing his thoughts back, Feng Xiao looked calmly toward the Star-Land Class starship in the distance, and then the Star Origin began to accelerate toward its target.

Ilde, having received orders beforehand, activated the main cannon with an expression of pure excitement!

Soon, a dozen patrolling Level 2 Aurora Rats discovered the Star Origin, and a massive amount of rays converged in their mouths, blasting toward the latter!

However, the powerful rays had no effect whatsoever when they struck the shields; thanks to the powerful shield recovery speed and the effect of passive skills, the damage caused by the Aurora Rats was fully restored within a few breaths.

At this moment, the Star Origin had already reached the edge of the destroyed starship and began to collect the Star Weapons.

The moment the collection of the Star Weapons was completed, they were synchronized and equipped, and the next instant, the Fierce Star main cannon with 2,000 attack power was unleashed!

The beam at 100% power struck the core of the rat nest directly, and the terrifying energy wave and explosion wiped out almost all the young rats within dozens of kilometers!

Dozens of Aurora Rats were also killed!

Without hesitation, the Storm Propulsion System ran at full capacity, and the Star Origin, having accelerated to light speed within five seconds, instantly entered hyperspace and vanished.

ROAR!!

Only then did the incomparably furious Level 5 Rat King crawl out from the nest, firing several rays with power even greater than the Fierce Star main cannon in a frantic sweep.

A large number of asteroids were blasted to pieces!

The Rat King, a Level 5 Perfect Star Beast!

A terrifying existence that even the current Star Origin could not confront head-on!

The Rat King looked toward the direction of the starship fleet with tyranny, its massive body of over two thousand meters surging with bio-energy before it lunged forward.

Humans!

They are all accomplices!
