All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Wang Zhifan spent a little over an hour on the tour of the ring world. During this time, the messenger of the Hirsch civilization flew him around the entire ring world in a flying saucer at superluminal speed. Every time they arrived at some key locations, such as the capital of a ring world section, they would stop for a while and give a detailed introduction.

Finally, he was taken to the vast space far away from the ring world, where he saw the planet-sized super battleships of the Hirsch civilization and the conjugate giant structures of artificial black holes and white holes, which greatly broadened his horizons.

In general, he understood that the Hirsch civilization was an extremely advanced civilization, with a technological level at least one level higher than that of the urban planet. If he pulled a standard military fleet from here to the urban planet world, he would probably be able to unify a large area of ​​the star region by force soon.

But this does not mean that the urban planet world is completely inferior to the Hirsch civilization world. For Wang Zhifan, the urban planet world is still important to him, and even more important than the current Hirsch civilization world.

There are two main reasons.

First, his position on the urban planet is higher and more stable. Although the position of captain is far from being the final say, he can mobilize a large amount of resources for his use at any time, or carry out some large-scale plans. As long as he does not mess around and lose his position as captain, he can get benefits continuously.

On the other hand, on the Hirsch civilization side, his status is just that of a foreign envoy. Although he is respected and valued by the Hirsch race, and theoretically can use their power to do some big things, as long as he is not planning to make a one-time deal, he must think twice before acting and try his best to establish good relations with the Hirsch civilization. He is not as relaxed as being the captain.

On the other hand, it is because the Hirsch civilization and the carbon-based human civilization to which Wang Zhifan belongs are too different.

They belong to a non-human silicon-based civilization, and their needs in all aspects are completely different from those of humans.

For example, their lifespan is a thousand times longer than that of humans, they do not need to eat, and can withstand the strong radiation from red dwarf stars. Many of the technologies developed from this are completely different from the path taken by humans.

The urban planets are very similar to Earth, and the main race is almost a replica of high-tech humans.

Anything Wang Zhifan needs, such as spaceships and mechas that he can control, can be purchased and used directly on the urban planet. There is no need for any unnecessary customization or modification, which is extremely convenient.

Therefore, even if it can be confirmed that the Hirsch civilization is more developed than the humans on the urban planet, Wang Zhifan will not give up on the urban planet. He plans to treat the Hirsch civilization as a trump card to be used at a special time, and the urban planet is positioned as a supplier of conventional scientific and technological products.

After touring the huge circular world, Wang Zhifan left a few non-technological items as gifts for the Hirsch civilization, then said goodbye and left for the next destination.

The second world he visited was Gaia, a world he personally liked very much and a natural paradise.

When he appeared on the Universe SIII-type frigate, he saw Irene and Yali busy working while eating in the cockpit.

I saw two diligent maids eating raw unknown sea fish in one hand, and packing the biological samples just caught by the drone with the other hand, so that he could take them away when he came over.

"Erin, Yali, there's no need to be so busy! You need to rest when you need to!"

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan stepped forward to stop them from being busy, let them eat in peace, and personally controlled the spacecraft to dock at a nearby island.

The two succubus maids quickly said that they did not need to rest, saying that they were monsters and this amount of work was just relaxation for them.

"Master, we are doing this to improve our work efficiency so that we can complete the exploration mission as soon as possible."

Erin, who had snow-white skin, said so.

"Master, the warehouse is almost full of the samples we collected. It's time to consider moving to a bigger warehouse."

The wheat-colored Yali reminded him that the internal storage space of the frigate was a little insufficient.

"Elin, your exploration mission is a long-term one. There is no need to rush."

Wang Zhifan first advised Yilin not to be too anxious, and then answered Yali's question:
"Yali, there is no need to look for a bigger warehouse for now. Starting today, you and Yilin will have two days off and go back to the previous villa to rest for two days."

He made this decision on the spot because he felt that he had somewhat neglected the feelings of the two maids and treated them too much as tools. He should give them some free time to rest.

As he finished speaking, the two maids were stunned for a moment, and then a look of joy appeared on their faces at the same time.

"Go back and rest. That means we can watch various food shows on TV again and try to make dishes for the master?"

Yali thought of this aspect first, which shows that her favorite thing when she was in the villa before was to watch TV and learn to cook.

"There are still some training tasks that the master has assigned us before. We can continue to study the magic book during our rest time."

Yilin remembered everything Wang Zhifan told her to do, even the projects that were temporarily suspended.

"Haha, it's up to you, but I'm giving you a holiday mainly so that you can have a good rest. Don't make yourselves more tired."

Wang Zhifan couldn't help but shook his head and laughed after hearing this.

Afterwards, he retrieved all the drones that had been sent out for exploration on the console, and together with Irene and Yali, he packed up all the samples that had been collected so far, and selectively transferred them into his space ring along with those in the warehouse.

During this process, similar to what he had encountered before, he discovered many special products from Gaia with special effects, such as medicinal herbs that can save lives, animal meat that can strengthen the body, and strange mushrooms that can make people fall into strange hallucinations.

The particularly rare types among them will also trigger panel information, so that he will hardly miss any opportunity to make small progress.

"Stone fruit can increase physical fitness by 2 points after the first consumption? Got it! Sour fish plum can improve mental attributes many times? Then give me a few more! Square-headed frog thigh meat can increase speed after consumption? Let's grill it on the spot..."

So, Wang Zhifan started another delicious feast on Gaia. Not only were most of the food delicious, but each one could also give him substantial improvements, which was something that most other players on Earth couldn't even imagine.

This also led to a slight increase in his basic attributes, and with the bonus effect, all of them broke through the 200 mark.

[Physique: 248. 】

[Strength: 258. 】

[Agility: 202. 】

[Spirit: 203.] It can be seen that compared to before the feast, his average attribute has increased by about 5 points, which means that the four attributes added up to more than 20 points.

If you want to get such an improvement by upgrading through dungeons, it will definitely be a very long process if you don't get some attribute growth rewards at the time of settlement, and it will be impossible without more than a dozen dungeons.

But for him, who has abundant natural resources on Gaia, he can easily obtain them by just spending some time searching. His advantage over other players is extremely obvious.

"Gaia, City Planet, Virtual Planet, Ring World, they are essentially resource-based rewards.

Although it is not equipment and cannot be used immediately when worn by players, as long as players develop it a little, it can bring long-term benefits and is more useful than a single piece of equipment in the long run. "

As someone who already owns at least four resource-based worlds, Wang Zhifan has a lot of feelings about this, so he visits each world regularly, even if there is no substantial gain at the beginning.

After enjoying the delicious and rare meal, Wang Zhifan closed all the hatches of the frigate anchored on the island, put it into automatic protection mode, and then returned to the Earth Star Xia Kingdom with the two maids to his villa in Dongjiang City.

Originally, he was planning to go to the urban planet immediately, but he felt that the maids were working too hard and collected so many biological samples from Gaia that the spaceship warehouse could hardly hold them all, so he decided to let them come back for a vacation. Anyway, the urban planet could not finish researching so many new things in a short period of time.

"Perhaps I should find two AI systems on the city planet, one for my own use and one for autonomous spacecraft, and purchase a few professional exploration spacecraft, so that the two maids don't have to do endless repetitive work."

With this thought in mind, after confirming that the two maids had returned to their familiar daily lives in the East City Villa, Wang Zhifan immediately went to the urban planet to do business.

The place he arrived at through the urban planet pass was still the captain's office on the 1111th floor, and he happened to meet his secretary Miss Catherine working there, which was a coincidence.

"Master, I have been waiting for you for quite some time. The latest report from the Biological Research Center is that some samples were accidentally lost during the research process, and we need to increase the number of samples to continue to advance the research progress."

As soon as she saw Wang Zhifan appear, Catherine reported the latest situation to him.

"What kind of accidental loss was it? Aren't there any security measures at the research center?"

Wang Zhifan replied calmly, feeling that the research center might be up to something.

“According to statistics, 62% of the lost samples were caused by the physical process of the experiment, 25% were caused by problems with the culture environment, and the remaining 13% were caused by theft.

At present, the thieves have been caught by the Investigation Department, but the relevant samples have been transferred outside the star field, and it may be difficult to recover them...

I am very sorry, Mr. Captain, this is a mistake on our part. I have arranged to strengthen the security of the research center."

Catherine gave a report and explained her corresponding countermeasures.

Wang Zhifan picked up the report and took a look at it, realizing that the bioengineering project he initiated had been targeted by someone with ulterior motives. This was something he had expected, but it happened a little too early.

"Tell the research center that the biological samples I brought are very precious. If they are lost, it will be difficult to replace them. I am currently unable to do anything. Since the samples are lost, please gather the relevant personnel to the intact part."

He then rejected the research center's request, which also caused those people's attempts to hit a wall and extinguished their attempts to obtain more duplicate samples, telling them in disguise that they should not try to interfere with his own resource channels.

"Okay, Mr. Captain, I will convey and execute your orders."

Catherine agreed without any objection, which shows that as a close confidant, she understands how extraordinary the samples Wang Zhifan brought are.

Wang Zhifan then took out the sample he brought from the space ring, handed it to her, and reminded her:
"This should be the last batch of new samples in the near future. We will probably stop supplying them for some time. Remember to have the people below take good care of them and don't lose them again... Otherwise, I will replace all the incompetent people."

"Okay, Mr. Captain, I promise that such accidents will not happen again!"

Catherine heard a serious warning in Wang Zhifan's words, and her expression stiffened as she made a promise in person.

"Haha... Don't be nervous, Catherine. Accidents happen to everyone. Just don't let them happen all the time."

After easing the atmosphere, Wang Zhifan went on to talk about other things, which was also the most important purpose of his visit.

"Catherine, I need an AI-assisted system that can run offline for a long time, preferably one that is good at combat information analysis and electronic system cracking..."

He told his secretary his specific requirements so that the local senior staff could provide corresponding opinions.

But what he didn't expect was that before Catherine in front of him could answer, a phantom of a little girl in red clothes, formed by the light from the equipment in the corner, appeared in the office and answered first:
"Master, please allow me to interrupt your conversation with Miss Catherine, because I meet all your requirements. I can copy an offline version with a database to help you.

Whether it is ship combat, mecha combat analysis, or the latest quantum system cracking, my ability ranks at the forefront of all artificial intelligence on the urban planet..."

The person who spoke was Xiaohong, the AI ​​in captain Wang Zhifan's office. Wang Zhifan had had some brief cooperation with it before and had the impression that this AI was of very good quality, but it never found a place to use its skills. Unexpectedly, it found an opportunity and volunteered itself.

"Oh? As I recall, Xiaohong, aren't you an office-assisting AI? And do you know anything about combat?"

Wang Zhifan couldn't help but find it interesting. An AI staying in the office actually had the ambition to go out and work hard, which immediately aroused his interest.

Secretary Catherine next to him did not doubt Xiaohong's self-recommendation, and explained to Wang Zhifan in a very affirmative tone:

"Master, Xiaohong is not bragging about herself. As an AI dedicated to your office, it was designed and developed by the Information Research Institute with professionalism and breadth of business in mind.

Office support is indeed one of its strengths, but analyzing ship and mecha combat, information cracking and anti-cracking are also at the highest level. Other aspects such as life and health maintenance and anti-biological espionage exploration are also iteratively constructed according to the highest standards..."

"Okay, since you're so strong, Xiaohong, I'll let you try first."

Wang Zhifan agreed after listening to a few words and decided to let Xiaohong, the AI ​​in his office, try out this position.

He believed that the AI ​​equipped by the city planet for the captain would not lose to those of the same kind outside, and its loyalty was more guaranteed. After all, it was originally an AI for his personal use. (End of this chapter)
