National Star Sea Era

Chapter 141 Branch Station·Golden Merit Point

Ahead, the steward of the Internal Affairs Hall who was responsible for recording raised his head and glanced at Song Chi, and then said calmly:

"Isn't it blue? When did it automatically downgrade?"

Hearing this, Song Chi didn't feel any surprise. He was accustomed to reporting a lower level to see if he could get through, and he never had much hope.

With the energy of the Dinghai Song family, it is impossible not to conduct relevant investigations on everything that has happened in the decades since their lineage was outside. And as long as the investigation is carried out, it is not difficult to find out that his Fire Seed has been promoted to blue.

Soon, he re-reported his registration information:

"Song Chi, thirty-one years old, blue fire seed, first-class fire captain."

After the information was entered, the steward in front of him picked up the nameplate recording the information and handed it to Song Chi's forehead. At the same time, his indifferent voice sounded again.

"Activate the fire seeds in the body and leave a trace of the original fire in this nameplate."

As Song Chi followed the instructions and integrated a wisp of his original fire into the nameplate, the nameplate quickly lit up with a faint fluorescence.

At this point, Song Chi's personal information entry is officially completed.

As for this nameplate, it is called the "Xinhuo Life Plate", which is a common method used by many medium and large forces to determine the life and death status of members.

Hmm... It's similar to the soul lamp in the previous life's cultivation novels, at least that's how Song Chi understood it.

Once the fire life card dims, it means that the fire seed of the corresponding fire captain is completely extinguished. For members of the fire human civilization, the extinguishing of the fire seed naturally means that the fire seed The end of the captain's life.

Song Chi estimated that the Xinhuo Life Card was the key to this round of operations. As for the name registration, it was just a pretext.

After returning behind Song Mingsong and others, he soon saw the strange looks in his grandfather's and father's eyes. He was obviously speechless by his coquettish operation of lowering the quality of the Fire Seed by the first level.

The younger generation was completely the opposite. Song Qi, Song Lin, Song You and others all stared at him with wide eyes, and their eyes were filled with surprise.

"Fourth brother, when did your fire seed advance to blue quality?"

On the left, third brother Song Wen asked.

Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Song Chi explained softly:

"Two months ago, I happened to encounter a ray of the best purple "Forest Bone Flame" in a store. I was assigned a purple main gun at that time. I added some other things and traded it over. "

Regarding his frivolous explanation, several people around him looked suspicious. The ultimate purple upgraded fire source. How rare is this thing in the realm of human civilization? Is it really that easy to get it?

However, no one asked any more questions, because with the completion of the registration, it was soon time for Grandpa to select the location of their lineage.

A sudden brilliance shone in the meeting hall, and then a huge illusory map of the Dragon's Back Continent appeared.

This Kan map is large enough, and there are many areas marked on it that can serve as bases, but it is dwarfed by the Dragon's Back Continent, which is 10 light-years in diameter.

In this regard, the housekeeper at the front explained:

"These are the eruption eyes of second-order and above floating continent sources. They can stably produce second-order floating continent sources and a small amount of third-order floating continent sources every year. Those red ones are third-order original eruption eyes, which can stably produce third-order floating continent sources. Floating continent origin, a small amount of fourth-order floating continent origin, you can choose on your own."

After speaking, the steward paused, and finally reminded:

"Let me know in advance that these third-order source eruption eyes require third-order fire warships to suppress them for many years. Otherwise, it will be difficult to collect the floating land source in them. Please consider it carefully."

Song Mingsong nodded lightly and turned around to discuss with Song Shan and Bai Xiuqin. Half a minute later, he asked again:

"Once a location is selected, can it be changed later?"

Before he was expelled from the family, he had already opened his pulse, but because the Furious Lion had just been promoted to the third level and was busy improving his level of guidance, he did not choose a station. Now this is his first time. Naturally, you have to ask clearly when making a choice.

"Yes, but it requires spending family merit points."

Hearing that it would cost merit points to change the location again, Song Mingsong no longer hesitated and turned his attention away from the second-order floating land original eruption eyes and instead focused on the third-order original eruption eyes that emitted red light.

Family merit points are not something that can be obtained casually. You need to perform those meritorious tasks to obtain them, so these unnecessary expenses can be saved as much as possible.

In addition, Songshan's ship, the Shanyue, has been promoted to the third level. All Songshan needs to do in a short period of time is to quietly practice the psionic energy guidance technique, and use the third-level psionic energy training platform on the Shanyue as soon as possible to advance himself to the third level. At least in the past year or two, they will be able to take over the suppression task.

The most important thing is that as long as the third-order original eruption eye can be suppressed, the annual income will not be comparable to that of the second-order original eruption eye.

Based on these points, Song Mingsong, Bai Xiuqin and others began to carefully select a group of third-order source eruption eyes. Soon, their tenth lineage was settled in a place called "Qingyue Lake".

"Okay, this is the development certificate for Qingyue Lake. You can take it to the construction department behind the hall and apply for the deployment of the "Mountain Terracotta Warriors" to carry out the subsequent construction of the station."

"But before going to the station, I suggest you go to the Hall of Merit first and use the mountain-moving terracotta warriors and various required building materials, which all require merit points."

…

Family, Hall of Merit.

As a group of people walked into the Tangkou Hall, which is located at the foot of the mountain and has the highest status among the five halls of the Song family, Song Chi found that there was actually someone waiting for them in the Hall of Merit, but it was no longer the family. Those representatives of each lineage are actually a deputy hall master of the Hall of Merit.

Each of the five halls of the Song family has a hall master and two deputy hall masters. The one in front of him is named Song Ruian, who is from the first lineage.

When everyone entered the Hall of Merit, they each quickly received a special communication bracelet.

"This is a quantum communicator developed by the tribe's Science and Technology Department. It can communicate in real time throughout the Dragon's Back Continent, and all merit points owned by an individual will be recorded in this communication bracelet."

Above the main hall, Song Ruian spoke calmly.

After hearing this, the curious Song You and others opened the quantum communication bracelet one after another. After the binding was completed, they soon saw their detailed information on the homepage of the virtual panel projected by the bracelet.

Name: Song You

Age: 30

Fire Seed: Blue

Belongs to: Tenth Straight Meridian

Fire Battleship: First-order psionic airship [Aoyou]

Merit Points: None

Gold Merit Points: None

…

Seeing this, Song Chi also clicked on the communication bracelet in his hand and looked at it. He saw that it was exactly the same as the one in other people's hands. His eyes stayed on the [Golden Merit Points] column on the virtual panel for a few seconds, and he was a little curious about it. What is it and how is it different from ordinary merit points.

But before he could think any further, Song Ruian, the deputy head of the Hall of Merit above the main hall, spoke again.

"Song Mingsong and Song Shan, the original ancestor has determined that you two are the main contributors to the family's new control of the "Moro Secret Realm". We are now rewarding 100,000 merit points and 10 gold merit points."

After grandpa and uncle, the next turn was not Song Hai, Bai Xiuqin and other second-level Xinhuo captains, but Song Chi.

"Song Chi, as a minor contributor, you are now rewarded with 50,000 merit points and 5 gold merit points."

"Bai Xiuqin, Song Hai, Song Dynasty... Chen Lixia, you are... now rewarded with 30,000 merit points and 3 gold merit points."

"Song Qi, Song Lin...the four of them will be awarded 30,000 merit points each."

As the words fell, relevant notification sounds came from everyone's quantum communication bracelets, and their merit points changed accordingly.

Before they could start their discussion, Song Ruian, who was above, looked down at Song Mingsong, who was standing at the front.

Seeing this, Song Mingsong quickly reacted. There was a flash of light in his hand, and the mini-shaped Moro Escape Mecha appeared in his hand. At the same time, he went to the outside world to summon the Furious Lion to kill the man who had been sleeping since being sealed. The unawakened fourth-level Moro royal family came out.

Following the appearance of the two, personnel from the Hall of Merit quickly took them away carefully.

Seeing this, Song Mingsong had no other thoughts at all.

The Namaro Secret Realm itself can only make up for the mistakes made in the past, and the reason why everyone in the family can each gain a large amount of merit points is actually because of the Moro Sky-Escape Mecha and the fourth-level Moro Royal Family.

A fourth-level unit with strong combat power is of course worth more than these merit points, but the person who took action was the projection of the original ancestor. Their family just got the light of the action plan, and they were able to obtain such a large sum of merit. , he was already very satisfied.

"Okay, if nothing happens, go down first and fix the branch station as soon as possible. There is a task for you here!"

Above the main hall, the deputy hall master Song Ruian waved gently and urged Song Mingsong at the same time.

Song Mingsong nodded and asked one last question before turning to leave.

"Sir, Deputy Hall Master, I wonder if it is possible to enter the [Immortal Puppet Secret Realm] now?"

Song Ruian waved his hand again.

"[The Immortal Puppet Secret Realm] is currently accelerating time. It will take about half a month. After the acceleration, we can take these juniors there!"

Hearing this, Song Mingsong's eyes lit up.

"Secret Realm Acceleration? I wonder what kind of time span is the acceleration?"

Regarding this question, Song Ruian did not hide it and gave the answer directly.

"Ten thousand years!"

Hearing these two words, Song Mingsong suddenly looked overjoyed. He first bowed and thanked the people above, and then led everyone behind him towards the outside of the hall.

Above the sky of Dragon's Back Continent, the Furious Lion was galloping at full speed, followed by twenty warships transferred from the construction department.

These battleships are loaded with [Mountain-moving Terracotta Warriors], which are suitable for construction of terracotta tree parts. As long as they arrive at Qingyue Lake, it won't take long for their station to be initially built.

In the cabin of the Furious Lion, Song Chi played with the new quantum communication bracelet on his hand and asked Song Mingsong in the main control room:

"Grandpa, in addition to the direct line, does the family have any side lines? After more than two thousand years, how is it possible that there are only 10 direct lines?"

"There is also the map of the mainland just now. I don't think there are still many third-order eruption eyes that have not been occupied and suppressed. These eruption eyes are allowed to overflow the floating continent. Is it because the family does not have enough manpower?"

After hearing his two questions, Song Mingsong smiled and explained:

"The family only has direct lines and direct lines. All others are classified as collateral clan members. There is no such thing as side lines. But why there are only ten direct lines so far? It's very simple. There is a clear rule in the clan that there are only three levels. Only captains of Xinhuo and above are qualified to open their own pulse."

Hearing this, Song Chi's brows still didn't relax. There are nearly ten million members of the Song clan. After more than two thousand years, even those clansmen who have been promoted to the third level due to chance will probably not be less than a few hundred. Really? If you open the pulse, why don't you only have ten straight channels?

However, Song Mingsong obviously hadn't finished speaking yet, so he continued:

"However, having the qualifications to open a pulse does not mean that you must do so. Basically, 99% of these family members who have been promoted to the third level will choose to join one of the three major channels: the first, second, and third. , in addition to being able to obtain an original eruption eye as a residence, active pulse openers will need to pay for their own expenses for a long period of time in the early stage."

"In comparison, joining those powerful direct lineages is much better. Not only will you have a stable salary, but if you are outstanding, you will also have the resources of your own lineage. In addition, the unique resources in the hands of each direct lineage are far better than your own. Opening the pulse is safe and easy.”

After hearing this explanation, Song Chi and others suddenly nodded. In this way, it basically made sense.

At this time, Dad Song Chao added something more.

"In addition, over the past thousands of years, many direct lineages have lost their third-level Xinhuo captains due to various accidents, and have been forced to disband."

Ahead, Grandpa's voice sounded again.

"As for those high-level origin eruption eyes, the reason why they are allowed to overflow the floating continent source on their own is because the preciousness of a high-level floating continent is not only its ability to stably produce high-level floating continent origin, but also the preciousness of the floating continent. A unique environment, an environment that can breed high-level star sea wonders."

"And if we don't want to destroy this kind of environment, we can't completely cut off the supply of high-level floating land sources!"

PS: Regarding the height of the Dragon's Back Sacred Mountain, well... in the setting of this book, the volume of the fifth-level life is only 10,000 meters. There is no way I can build a trillion-kilometer mountain, right?

As for the diameter of ten light years, I know this better than you. Don’t get entangled in the logical issue of diameter and height. It’s just a novel. We are not writing a scientific masterpiece.

In addition, I wrote about the character generations of the Song family when I started the book, but later I tried to sort them out, and found that the character generations spanning nearly three thousand years are really difficult to figure out clearly, and it is so difficult to do, it makes my scalp numb. That kind of thing, so I didn’t do it in the end, so I’ll just give it a try!

(I feel like this chapter is not well written)
