54: Chapter 54 The First Level 4 Spaceship and the Group's Lavish Words

At this moment, a faint, almost imperceptible curve formed at the corner of Captain Qin Hao's lips before he returned to the Spaceship.

He pushed those naughty thoughts aside. Now that he had obtained the ships heart, it was the perfect opportunity to upgrade the Spaceship.

He remembered clearly: the first person to upgrade their Spaceship always got something good. Back then, that Special Forces Soldier was the first to upgrade to a Level 2 Spaceship, receiving a full-region broadcast and a Bronze Treasure Chest.

Captain Qin Hao looked at everyone with a smile and said, 'This trip went very smoothly, and the result was just as I imagined. Salvaging the Spaceship yielded the ships heart.'

'Now I need to upgrade the Spaceship quickly to seize the advantage. You all stay alert and guard the place. Don't let zombies sneak in and attack our home base while we're upgrading the Spaceship.'

Upon hearing this, the other girls were instantly overjoyed and deeply impressed.

'Wow, Captain, you're amazing! You found the ships heart already!'

'Oh my god, a Level 3 Spaceship is already this powerful. If it becomes Level 4, won't it be unstoppable?!'

Over these past days, they had all witnessed just how strong the Level 3 Spaceship was. It had almost single-handedly held back the zombie horde, with the Spaceship's attacks playing a huge role.

If it were a Level 2, or even a Level 1 Spaceship, it would have been extremely difficult to withstand. Everyone would have had to stay constantly tense just to defend.

Su Nian exclaimed excitedly, 'Captain Qin Hao, hurry up and upgrade it! There might be some good rewards.'

Without further ado, Captain Qin Hao opened the Spaceship upgrade panel.

[Materials required for Spaceship upgrade to lv.4: energy core 40/1180, Upgrade Shard 40/50, refined iron 40/130, ships heart 1/1. Upgrade?]

'Upgrade!'

[Spaceship upgrading... Spaceship undergoing modifications... Installing programs... Spaceship upgrade successful!]

[Endless Star Domain District 1 Broadcast: Congratulations to Universe Spaceship No. A1001 for a successful upgrade, becoming the first Spaceship in this district to reach level lv.4.]

[Reward: One Gold Treasure Chest.]

[Acquired benefit: Arrival at next destination 30 minutes early.]

With a rumbling sound, everyone felt the ship shake slightly, but they all remained incredibly calm.

Seeing the successful upgrade announcement, Captain Qin Hao was filled with immense joy.

At the same time, he looked at the items required for the next level.

[Materials required for Spaceship upgrade to lv.5: energy core 500/1180, Upgrade Shard 150/10, divine iron 150/50, Level 5 Spaceship Upgrade Blueprint 1/0.]

For the next level, the energy cores were sufficient. More Upgrade Shard would need to be obtained from treasure chests. As for the divine iron and the Level 5 Spaceship Upgrade Blueprint, it was unclear where to get them. Could it be that they could only be obtained from a Gold Treasure Chest?

The girls beside him were also jumping for joy. A Level 4 Spaceship—they had done it!

And not just any Level 4 Spaceship—the very first one! Not only did they get a district-wide broadcast, but they also received a never-before-seen Gold Treasure Chest! This was a windfall.

Moreover, there was the benefit of arriving 30 minutes early. It was precisely because of such advantages that they were far ahead of everyone in the Gemini Star, having almost scavenged all the supplies and treasure chests.

One step ahead, every step ahead!

'Fantastic! A Level 4 Spaceship! We've upgraded to a Level 4 Spaceship!'

'This is truly amazing! Happiness came so suddenly!'

Captain Qin Hao quickly opened the Spaceship panel.

[Universe Spaceship No. A1001 (Basic Edition)]

[Level: lv.4]

[Internal Space: Diameter 80, Central Core Height 8]

[System Space: 25]

[Defense: Weak (Can only withstand attacks from zombies below Tier 2)]

[Durability: 98% (Can continuously withstand zombie scratches for one day)]

[Energy: 89% (Can operate until the arrival of the Extreme Cold Storm one month later)]

[Shield: Activated (When activated, protects the Spaceship)]

[Weapon: Low-level Lasers ×100 unlocked (10 hits required to kill one low-level zombie, approximately 10 seconds) (Requires additional energy cores. Full firepower consumes 1 energy core per 3 minutes)]

[Weapon: Ballista Towers ×3 unlocked (Powerful ballistas that require consumption of Wood, etc.)]

[Weapon: Mortar ×1 (Can lock onto a single target creature and inflict significant damage)]

[Auto-Loot: Unlocked. Automatically collects dropped items within an 80-meter radius.]

[Warp Drive: Not unlocked]

[Spaceship Configuration Construction: Rooms ×188...]

As Captain Qin Hao opened the Spaceship's panel, all the girls collectively gasped in astonishment.

Not only were there more Ballista Towers and Lasers, but a Mortar had also appeared. One shot from that would probably instantly annihilate a Level 1 advanced zombie.

They estimated it might even be able to kill a Tier 2 zombie...

Captain Qin Hao felt they could practically swagger through the Gemini Star now because they were so far ahead, leading by a huge margin.

After all, not even a Tier 2 monster had appeared yet.

Su Nian, Ling Xiaoke, and the others immediately started chattering excitedly.

'Wow, this is incredible! We don't have to fear the zombies anymore!'

'Tonight, we might even get a good night's sleep! This isn't just survival; it's downright comfortable!'

While others were still struggling to survive, needing to stay on high alert day and night against zombie attacks, with one careless moment risking their Spaceship being breached and them becoming one of the undead...

They could already rely on the Spaceship's defenses to withstand sieges from all zombies.

Captain Qin Hao casually opened the Blue Star Channel to see their reactions. It wasn't to show off, but to check on their recent situation.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened the comment section, he found the comments exploding after the broadcast.

[Onlooker: Damn, it's that Great Wall Watch again, too awesome! I really want to follow you, my butt is always open for you! Please don't be too strict about gender!]

[Special Forces Soldier: Master, truly a master. We fought hard day and night, suffered losses, and just barely managed to break through to a Level 3 Spaceship. And you're already at Level 4?]

[Lili: Sob, you're lucky with Level 3. Our Spaceship has Little Fairies, and there's been a huge disagreement. We've only just upgraded to Level 2, and we almost got captured by Goblins for... you know... sob]

[Little Fairy Alliance: What's wrong with Little Fairies? Our Little Fairy Alliance is already at Level 3!]

[Le Zi: Damn, you guys have Goblins there? I heard Goblins are ugly and lecherous, they like to capture women and take turns...]

[Wu Yifan: So perverted... can I join? By the way, if there are children, could you tell whose they are?]

[Civil Engineering Man: Damn, is that you, Brother Fan, out of prison? Is there an interstellar prison to lock him up again?]

[Roadside One: Too strong. We're still living hand-to-mouth, barely scraping by, while the big boss already has a Level 4 Spaceship. Probably enjoying air conditioning and fine wine right now.]

[Doesnt Eat Cilantro: Great Wall Watch brother, I'm also in District 1. Please take me in. It would be my first time, you know~]

[Civil Engineering Man: Sister Xiang Cai, stop making everyone laugh.]

[Onlooker: A big boss like Great Wall Watch definitely isn't short of women. He's probably busy with his arms around a couple right now, which is why he hasn't replied.]

Captain Qin Hao and the others couldn't help but chuckle at the chatty, often crude banter of these Blue Star netizens. They were quite the talkers, but some information could still be gleaned.

So someone had actually encountered Goblins. Maybe other Spaceships had even encountered Godzilla...

Rao Shuqing, Su Nian, and the others looked at the comment section, their faces twitching. What kind of lewd nonsense was this?

'Oh my god, there really are Goblins. Those ugly, lecherous monsters... I'm so scared,' Bai Ruoyao said fearfully.

Ling Xiaoke frowned and said, 'Hmph, that Doesnt Eat Cilantro is so shameless, saying whatever comes to mind.'
