The space travel technology here refers to whether professionals below Tier 4 and ordinary people who awaken and change professions before the age of 18 can travel through space.
Because Tier 4 LV80 professionals can temporarily withstand the harsh environment of space with their physical bodies, Blue Star Humans can at most wander around within the solar system.
Zi Liyuan believed that once Shen Yurou really rose to power, casually giving the military of the Great Xia Empire a few mechanical blueprints and formulas and then recruiting a large number of Mechanics, the Great Xia Empire would be able to dominate on Blue Star and achieve unification.
Throughout the ages, the Great Xia Empire produced countless capable individuals and virtuosos; virtually all founding emperors of the four ancient empires aspired to unify Blue Star.
Unfortunately, with the world invaded by the game, as the seas changed into mulberry fields over time, countless copies and secret realms merged into Blue Star, causing the planet to expand continually, swarmed with monsters that could not be exterminated.
This resulted in none of these ancient emperors being able to achieve the unification of Blue Star, and they had no choice but to set foot on the Sea of Realms, fighting for a future for the Blue Star Human Race.
When Ye Boy became embroiled in chaos and obtained the land of the Nine Great Divine Provinces of Great Xia, talk of unification became even more elusive.
And the remaining three ancient countries on Blue Star were completely obliterated in the Sea of Realms, surrounded and besieged by different races, marking the beginning of their decline and extinction.
Zi Liyuan was confident that when he reached full Tier 4 Level 100, he could unleash an Undead calamity and slaughter all the forces on Blue Star.
But he couldn’t do that, as if the Blue Star Human Race suddenly lost a great many of its population, the fighting power of the Blue Star Human Race in the Sea of Realms battlefield would certainly suffer greatly, with unthinkable consequences.
Because the Sea of Realms is the foundation of a race; once the Blue Star Human Race lacks a Lord in the Sea of Realms, the entire Blue Star would become a failed and doomed race, with only two possible outcomes.
The first is to be conquered by another Sea of Realms race, with the entire Blue Star Human Race reduced to slaves, their life and death at the mercy of others.
The second is for Blue Star to not be captured by Sea of Realms alien races, but to become a defeated race, turned into mercenaries of the Sea of Realms, conscripted by alien races to sign a Boundary Sea Contract and become subsidiary to them, continuing to struggle painfully in the Sea of Realms.
Therefore, Zi Liyuan could only ensure his own individual strength, but Shen Yurou was different; she could ensure the entire Great Xia Empire’s rise to power.
The geniuses and exceptionally gifted are only a minority; it’s the ordinary professionals that form the largest group.
As long as Shen Yurou developed a series of blueprints and formulas, it would help those professionals who are stuck to rise up.
When that time comes, there will be countless Tier 4 professionals in the Great Xia Empire to eliminate the high-end forces of other nations and then subsume the populace, which would be extremely easy.
Once the Great Xia Empire completes the unification of Blue Star, they can wholeheartedly send countless cohesive and fresh troops into the Sea of Realms battlefield.
Without the dragging forces of other Blue Star nations, the development of the Blue Star Human Race within the Sea of Realms will only become more stable, and may even explode with unimaginable strength.
“This set of Brave’s armor is for you; it can enhance a considerable number of your basic attributes,”
Zi Liyuan took out a Brave four-piece suit (Silver Hero) that can only be worn at level 20 from his spatial backpack and handed it to Shen Yurou.
The Mechanic profession leans towards the physical spectrum and should primarily enhance physical constitution.
For Shen Yurou, however, analyzing blueprints requires the consumption of a vast amount of Spiritual Energy; the operation of the constructed mechanical combat requires the support of Spirit; and the production of various machines again calls for a substantial physique.
One could either prepare three sets of extreme equipment and use the corresponding gear when needed, or make a balanced set of high-quality gear that is evenly attributed.
Buying three sets of equipment is too wasteful, especially since the current levels are low, and the low-level equipment is transitional.
Moreover, Zi Liyuan truly had a set of high-quality gear that balanced and increased foundational attributes.
The Hero Set, of silver-hero quality, added +20 to all base attributes for a total of +80 across four pieces, and with the set enhancement, an additional +5 to all attributes, each aspect of one’s stats would be increased by 85 points.
In other words, once Shen Yurou changed her equipment, her base stats would skyrocket fourfold, reaching 114 points in all!
The two of them quickly processed the materials produced from the instance and recouped a sum of money.
Then, at the auction house, they spent five million Dragon Coins to bid for the “Dwarf Spiritual Energy Sniper Rifle – Type 1” and the “Goblin Logging Armor -Type 1.”
Only after purchasing a large quantity of required metals at the material wholesale market did the two head to a rented warehouse.
The analysis and reverse-engineering blueprint for the “Dwarf Spiritual Energy Sniper Rifle – Type 1” went smoothly; however, they repeatedly failed to reverse-engineer the “Goblin Logging Armor – Type 1.”
The mechanisms of firearms are simple, but exoskeleton armors are technologically advanced. Without prior technological accumulation, reverseengineering blueprints for Shen Yurou was incredibly complex and difficult.
This made Zi Liyuan realize that skyscrapers rise from the ground; one must solidify the foundation first, otherwise, everything is just pie in the sky, and it could collapse at any time.
Luckily, with Zi Liyuan providing numerous technological development ideas, and Shen Yurou’s talent coming with research effects, it only took her half a day to develop the “Gunpowder Sniper Rifle – Type 1 (Blue).”
“Gunpowder Sniper Rifle – Type 1 (Blue): Physical Damage +200, Physical Damage +150, Physical Damage +150, Fire Rate: 5 rounds/minute, Effective Range: 800 meters, Magazine Capacity: 5 rounds, can only use gunpowder bullets, equipable by any profession at Level 20, movement speed decreased by 30% upon equipping.”
Needless to say, among Level 20 gear, this sniper rifle is absolutely the most terrifying single-target physical damage weapon!
With it, you can snipe from 800 meters away. If you pair it with a pair of boots that greatly increase movement speed, after a single shot, stash the equipment in the Spatial Backpack and immediately move to run away; most bosses can be kited and killed this way!
With this thing, Shen Yurou could definitely snipe a first-transformation hero boss to death!
After preparing the necessary materials and items for Shen Yurou’s first- transformation hero quest, and having her go to the class-change hall to complete the quest, Zi Liyuan returned to the auction house once again.
He needed to look up some things, especially skill books related to death.
Regrettably, the official auction house mainly offered second-hand items, with the real top-notch goods long since used by the military.
“Below Level 2, Level 40 equipment, they don’t even release a single piece of silver-hero quality gear? Is the control that strict?” muttered Zi Liyuan pensively as he walked out of the official auction house.
The competition of the countless races in the Sea of Realms required the Human Race to provide a constant supply of talents to support them, but on this side, the Great Xia Empire’s Nine Great Academies and many second- and third-tier academies, only send tens of thousands of Lords each year.
In the Great Xia Empire, with nearly a hundred billion people across the Nine Great Divine Provinces, only around ten thousand Lords are dispatched each year—a truly low ratio.
Of course, these are the Lords sent to the Sea of Realms, as for those professionals who enter freely, they are countless and impossible to tally.
But these professionals often only have an extremely small number who can survive, struggling bitterly within the Sea of Realms.
“Without the Lord’s Heart, one cannot become a Lord in the Sea of Realms, but the question is, is this thing really that difficult to get?”
