Star Lord: Rob the alien race and you will get a hundred times the reward

Chapter 5: The Pirates Are All Tricks

After obtaining the psychic seed, there is no need to find an activation device to activate it. You can use the psychic cultivation method to make it take root and sprout quickly.

There is no limit to the growth of psychic power. The only limitation is whether the spiritual energy of the individual practicing psychic power can control so much psychic power.

Liu Wen tried to perform high-intensity exercise to activate his spirit and body cells, which was beneficial to the growth of spiritual energy. Various spiritual energy cultivation methods have movements to assist in cultivation, and the purpose is to allow the spirit and biological energy to be better condensed into spiritual energy.

After struggling in the living area for more than an hour, Liu Wen felt that the psychic seeds were only slightly more active, and decisively gave up this method.

It was a waste of time and effort but there was no effect. I was wondering where to go to buy some contribution points with credit points.

The contribution value of the Interstellar Alliance is bound to psychic materials as the basis, and one unit of basic psychic materials is worth one contribution point.

According to the price in the Paradise Island trading market, one unit of basic spiritual energy material is worth about two hundred Blue River Empire credit points.

That is to say, even if you can buy contribution points, one contribution point is more than two hundred credit points. Relatively speaking, the value of contribution points is greater than that of credit points, so the purchase price is estimated to increase.

Liu Wen estimated that the contribution point transaction in the second world would most likely be around 300 credit points. He could accept this price, but the only trouble was that he currently had no channel to purchase it.

After thinking about it, I simply put on the helmet and entered the second world.

The purpose of coming here this time is to find channels to purchase contribution points and to obtain them.

Although he had known for a long time that contribution points were generally exchanged by completing various tasks issued by the Interstellar Alliance and obtaining psychic materials by hunting various creatures with psychic powers, there was still one thing that Liu Wen wanted to do the most, mining.

Since the Second World is connected with many subspaces and dimensional spaces, it is easy for various subspaces with psychic materials or psychic minerals to be born. From time to time, subspaces are integrated into the Second World, bringing star systems and even galaxies and star clusters to the Second World.

The main business of each civilization in the Second World is to seize territory and mine, and the secondary business is to fight various psychic creatures. Finally, they complete various tasks issued by the alliance in accordance with the regulations of the Interstellar Alliance.

In the main universe, various civilizations are relatively stable and there are a lot of frictions, but the real wars will all take place in the second world.

When it reaches a certain level, the winner can pay contribution points to transfer the occupied star system galaxies to the main universe. This is also the main reason for the continuous increase of galaxies in the main universe.

The Second World is the devouring and digestive organ of the main universe, constantly devouring dimensional energy, subspace, etc. and continuing to grow. It is said that the current Second World is much larger than the main universe. Because of the abundant energy of various types, many native intelligent races have been born.

Liu Wen wandered around the second world, trying to find out all kinds of information. When the blue fat man returned with the things a few hours later, he had already found a preliminary way to buy contribution points.

After being awakened by the blue fat man, when he was about to tell him the good news, the blue fat man spoke first: "I have replaced the spacecraft's intelligent optical computer. You go and bind the permissions. In addition, I searched through the signal detector and did not find any tracker on the spacecraft. It seems that the Jilong man is quite honest."

Liu Wen smiled when he heard what the blue fat man said: "Come on, this is Paradise Island. Believe it or not, there is definitely something wrong with the origin of this gunboat. Besides, our information is probably on the desks of some small teams now. It is estimated that some small or medium-sized pirate groups will invite us to join soon."

The blue fat man agreed with Liu Wen's judgment, so he said, "Should we go it alone or join a small pirate group?"

Liu Wen had already prepared a plan: "Let's see who contacted us first. If there are people who specifically target aliens, we can consider joining them, but the probability is not high. After all, the entire star cluster is dominated by human civilization. There are only some aliens engaged in business in the surrounding star systems. Here, we are mostly likely to encounter pirates who are robbing or something."

Fat Blue understood Liu Wen’s idea and decided to go it alone.

By the time I had packed up my things, it was already evening.

The blue fat man bought a set of fully automatic synthetic kitchenware from the Shangxia Republic, which contains more than a thousand common dishes from the six major cuisines of the Shangxia Republic. Dishes can be synthesized by simply adding the corresponding elements.

The two people who were tired of eating nutritional paste had a better choice, so they decisively threw the nutritional paste into the warehouse, and then spent three hours having a good meal.

The next day, after waking up, the two men ate steamed buns and fried dough sticks while discussing how to activate the blue fat man's psychic power.

"I went in and looked around yesterday, and the price of activating it directly is too high, and it's not safe either, so I plan to go to the Interstellar Alliance Building and set up a stall to buy some psychic substances to exchange for contribution points, and then buy psychic cultivation methods directly in the Interstellar Alliance."

The blue fat man said while holding a fried dough stick in his mouth, "What a coincidence! I also went to the Interstellar Alliance Building yesterday. I also made some inquiries and found that many teams coming out of the subspace battlefield chose to sell psychic substances directly in the square in exchange for contribution points."

"It's just that we use credit points to purchase, so I guess we can't buy much spiritual energy material."

Liu Wen laughed and said, "If the price is high, there will always be someone willing to sell it. Not everyone has credit points."

After the meal, the two drove the hovercraft to the bank to convert some of the credit point bonds into electronic currency, which was then recharged into the second world.

The blue fat man didn't know how much Liu Wen had converted. He just did whatever Liu Wen said, just like he had done in the past ten years.

The two had just returned to the spaceship and were about to enter the second world when someone came outside the spaceship and invited them to have a drink together.

Liu Wen and the blue fat man looked at each other, put on their equipment, each took five or six high-explosive grenades and hid them, then opened the hatch and walked out.

There were nine people in total, and judging by the situation, they should be three groups, led by two men and one woman, who were looking at each other from a distance.

"I wonder what you guys want to talk to us about?" Liu Wen said with his arms folded across his chest.

"Hello Mr. Liu, I am John Silk from the Midnight Pirates. On behalf of the leader, I would like to invite you to join the Midnight Pirates." The middle-aged man said to Liu Wen while playing with a gold coin.

"Tsk, John, you're simply making me laugh to death. You don't even mention the pros and cons, but you just ask people to join you in your polar night with their boats and people. Who gave you the illusion that you're so shameless?" The young woman opposite John sneered at him with disdain.

"Mr. Liu, I am Thornbird from the Rose Pirates. On behalf of the leader, Red Rose, I would like to invite you to join our Rose Pirates. We are not like some pirate groups that eat people without leaving any bones. If you join us, you will get cadre privileges, and your spaceship will still be managed by you. Other benefits are the same as those of team cadres."

John Silk stared at the Thorn Birds with fierce eyes, and the gold coin in his hand kept deforming as he rubbed it.

Liu Wen still didn't say anything, and turned to look at the last man who was eating melon.

"Oh, it's my turn?" The man was enjoying the melon when he noticed Liu Wen looking at him. Then he remembered that it was his turn to introduce himself.

"Ahem." The man coughed twice. "Mr. Liu, I'm Chen Liming from the Black Pearl Pirates. Our Black Pearl Pirates are different from them. Each cadre can form their own team. We can provide information, trading channels, and psychic materials. Our main business is in the Second World, so the strength of Paradise Island is not great. Our purpose is to protect related channels, so we rarely have the opportunity to take action."

"In addition, joining our pirate group will give you the opportunity to become a citizen of the human kingdom."

"Hmm?" Liu Wen and Fatty Blue became excited when they heard that there was a chance to cleanse themselves and become citizens of the human kingdom.

"What conditions?" Liu Wen asked immediately.

"Contribution, contribution to the team, and the corresponding alliance contribution points and personal strength." Chen Liming said with a bright smile.

"Why invite me?" Liu Wen continued to ask.

"Because you are clean. Although I don't know where you got the money to buy the spacecraft, it is not important. The key point is that you have no criminal record." Chen Liming smiled.

When the Thorn Birds and John saw this, they knew that Liu Wen was moved. The Thorn Birds looked regretful, while John had a blank expression. He just looked at Liu Wen deeply and turned away.

"Can you give me a copy of your pirate group's profile? I need to think about it." Liu Wen was not in a hurry to decide whether to join or not. He didn't know the other party at all. He might even thank the other party for selling him well. "Of course, let's add each other." Chen Liming and Liu Wen exchanged the communication code and said goodbye naturally.

Seeing the Thorn Birds still here, Liu Wen said, "Miss Thorn Birds, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Mr. Liu, please consider carefully. This is the information of my Rose Pirates. We also have a pioneering team in the Second World that is no worse than the Black Pearl. Let me tell you a secret. Our leader is a direct descendant of the Nangong family of the Shangxia Republic. Our possibility of joining the Shangxia Republic is not low, but the contribution required is also higher." The Thornbirds sent a piece of information to Liu Wen and persuaded him again.

Liu Wen was very puzzled. He was just a newcomer who had not yet made his debut. Why was the Thornbirds trying so hard to win him over? Could it be that their pirate group was so short of combat power that they even wanted a small gunboat?

Unable to figure it out, I just promised the other party that I would think about it seriously and give a reply within two days.

"I think something has happened to the Rose Pirates. With only one gunboat like us, we wouldn't have to try so hard to get them." The fat blue man said thoughtfully as he looked at the receding figure.

Liu Wen nodded and said, I also think there might be a problem, but we are completely in the dark about the pirate forces on Paradise Island and have no idea what is going on.

"I remember there is intelligence trading around the island. I'll go buy a copy of the information of the three pirate groups." The blue fat man took the initiative to take over the investigation task.

"Okay, be careful." Liu Wen transferred one million credit points to him and told him to come back as soon as he finished buying it.

Back in the living area, Liu Wen looked at the information of the two pirate groups.

The Rose Pirates were founded three years ago. They own two frigate-class warships and seven gunboats. Key data such as the size of the members are not available. Instead, they are introduced as to where their base is, their style of doing things, and their internal benefits.

When Liu Wen saw the last information about the second world, he discovered that more than half of the opponent's escort-class warships and gunboats were in the second world, and there were only four gunboats on Paradise Island to maintain appearances.

The Black Pearl Pirates, although called a pirate group, is actually more accurately called a pioneering team. This team is a medium-sized team with three destroyer-class battleships, more than eight frigates, and as many as thirty gunboats, more than half of which are also in the second world.

There are only three frigate-class battleships and ten gunboats on Paradise Island.

The information also shows the welfare benefits and related rights and responsibilities of each cadre. To put it bluntly, it is a task platform. The team publishes tasks and you can choose whether to accept them or not. However, if the contribution is less than 30 points every three months, there will be a mandatory task.

The Rose Team is similar in this regard, except that the constraints are stronger and the task difficulty is lower.

After comparing the welfare systems of both sides, I found that the Black Pearl side is more convenient, mainly because there are many welfare benefits, and the prices are clearly marked. You can apply for the welfare you want according to the amount of team contribution, including becoming a citizen of various human countries.

"Why does the Blue River Empire only need 2,000 contribution points but the Shangxia Republic needs 50,000? Is the difference so big?" After Liu Wen found the contribution points needed to join the human kingdom, he was stunned when he saw the price tag.

The Shangxia Republic and the Blue River Empire are both advanced interstellar civilizations, and their overall strength is not much stronger than that of the Blue River Empire. Why is the contribution points required for citizenship so different by dozens of times?

"Could it be that I have fallen behind, and the Shangxia Republic has been promoted to a higher level?" Liu Wen pondered the possibility in confusion.

"I'm back. Emma, ​​this information is really expensive. The information about Black Pearl is priced at 200,000 credit points. It's more profitable than robbery." The blue fat man walked in muttering and handed a chip to Liu Wen.

Liu Wen took it and put it on his personal terminal to read the information and quickly browsed through it.

The content of the intelligence was similar to that provided by Chen Liming and his team, except that it contained a lot more information, including personnel information, recent developments, and any hostile forces.

Liu Wen really found clues from the information provided by Rose.

The Rose's mine in the second world was robbed by wild alien pirates. Not only was the guarding fleet wiped out, but the mine was also destructively mined by these wild alien pirates.

In addition, I don’t know how these wild alien pirates did it. Originally, if they died in the battle of the Second World, as long as they were not unlucky enough to encounter the dimensional evil god or the Zerg Queen, the damage would not affect the body of the main universe.

But most of those who died in the Rose War had spiritual dust, their wisdom was gradually obscured, and they showed signs of becoming mentally retarded.

The Rose Pirates have not even thought about seeking revenge on their enemies during this period. They are trying their best to raise money to treat the deputy leader and several core cadres below him. As for the others, they have paid a compensation and no longer care about them, or they have no money to pay for treatment even if they want it.

Today, the Rose Pirates are not only preparing to sell the shops on Paradise Island, but they are also selling the team's spaceships.

"No wonder even a novice like me with a gunboat is so jealous. It seems that they really need combat power to stabilize the interests of Paradise Island." Liu Wen finally understood why the Thornbirds were trying so hard.

Although adding icing on the cake is not as good as helping someone in need, Liu Wen excluded Rose at the first opportunity. He was not very willing to join the team and add restrictions to himself. He knew that the other party was in constant trouble but still joined in. Did he really think he was immortal?

Black Pearl isn't that great either. Although the benefits are clearly marked and seem good, their mission is a pitfall.

The Black Pearl's targets are all placed on the subspace battlefield. The minerals, psychic creatures, psychic plants, etc. there are too dangerous. Also because the casualty rate is too high, a medium-sized team invited him, a small Karami, to join.

"Sure enough, there is no pirate that is worry-free." Liu Wen completely gave up the idea of ​​joining a team to get through the novice period.

"What do you think?" Fat Blue asked quickly after seeing Liu Wen finish reading the information.

"I don't have any ideas. These pirate groups are all scams. If we go in so naively, we will definitely be eaten to pieces." Liu Wen called the blue fat man to enter the second world to earn contribution points.

The two entered the second world, bought a folding table, made an advertising sign, bought a psychic matter detector, and drove the hovercraft straight to the Interstellar Alliance Building.

The Interstellar Alliance Building is located in the center of the city. This city came into being after the Interstellar Alliance built the building. Therefore, almost all places where there is an Interstellar Alliance Building are in the city center.

The subspace portal is located on the square on the right side of the Interstellar Alliance Building. The square on the left is the dimensional battlefield. Only psychics can enter. Junior psychics who enter will be cannon fodder.

When we arrived at the Subspace Teleportation Square, we just took a quick look and saw that in the center of the square, which covered an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers, there stood more than thirty Subspace Teleportation Gates, all of which were the Subspace battlefields of this star field.

The square is surrounded by shops and there are rows of street stalls, and it is bustling with people coming and going.

After parking the car, the two men carried their things to the manager and bought a stall. They did not rush to set up the stall, but walked around and checked the purchase price of other people.

"Boss, how much do you sell these psychic materials for?" Liu Wen asked, looking at the psychic materials that looked like mantis blade arms on a street stall.

"This? Take it for 15 contribution points." The boss glanced at it casually and quoted a price.

"It's too expensive. How do I pay with credit points?" Liu Wen continued to ask.

"Pay with credit points?" The boss turned around and looked at Liu Wen in surprise: "Are you here to clean my house?"

"No, no, I just don't have enough contribution points." Liu Wen quickly waved his hands and explained.

"Who here would accept that credit card thing? No one would want it at a price of one to four hundred. Unless you are really short of money and too lazy to go to the bank, no one would accept it. Forget it. If you can't afford it, leave quickly." The boss waved his hand at Liu Hai, signaling him to leave quickly and not block the stall.

Liu Wen repeated it several times and confirmed that the minimum amount required to exchange Blue River Empire credit points for contribution points here is 400. As long as the price is high, some can be exchanged.
