Chapter 3

Li Yi looked on with great envy, muttering to himself, "Coke, is there any way to earn some Star Credits on the Star Network?"

Coke replied, "To earn money on the Star Network, there are basically only two ways: trading and missions. For trading, you can sell Earth's products to other civilizations."

"As for missions, there are no missions that can be completed on Earth. First, you need to buy a starship and gather enough deposit, as the paid missions posted on the Star Network are all on other planets, or even across star domains."

Li Yi stuck out his tongue. Talking about starships to him, a poor guy, was just too unrealistic. Li Yi's living expenses were all provided by the school, six hundred yuan per month.

"Participating in virtual battlefields also has rewards, but first, you need a virtual battlefield device connected to the tactical network. The cheapest one in the star domain currently costs fifty thousand Star Credits."

Li Yi exclaimed that he couldn't handle it, waving his hands and asking Coke to stop. Li Yi, who didn't even have a single Star Credit, found the figure of tens of thousands of Star Credits absurd.

What Li Yi lacked now was startup capital. Effort brings rewards. To earn money on the Star Network, Li Yi first needed to spend some money to equip himself with necessary gear.

After much thought, the only way seemed to be selling Earth's products to aliens. But with the advanced civilizations of aliens, how could they be interested in the small-scale products from Earth?

The magical Star Network was like a bottomless black hole, firmly capturing Li Yi's attention. Unconsciously, the clock had already pointed to eight in the evening.

Bang, bang, bang~

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Li Yi was startled and hurriedly jumped up to open it. He saw a middle-aged man in a sky-blue uniform, holding a small package.

"Mr. Li Yi?"

"Yes."

"This is your package. According to the rules, we need to confirm your DNA before the handover." The courier smiled, wearing a high-tech device on his ear, which probably allowed him to understand Earth's language.

Li Yi extended his hand, and the middle-aged man touched his wrist with a pen-like object. The DNA detector beeped, and the light at the top turned green.

"Alright, here is your package and my business card. My name is Qin Yong, and I am the courier responsible for this area at Jet Express. If you need anything, you can call me through the Star Network. Jet Express, mission accomplished!"

Li Yi excitedly took the package. It wasn't very big, fitting perfectly under his arm, and weighed less than two kilograms, much lighter than he had expected.

"I want to ask, if I send a package from Earth to other planets in the star domain, how much would it cost? What's the cheapest way?" Li Yi asked curiously.

Qin Yong thought for a moment and said, "The cheapest is one hundred and ten Star Credits per package, with a volume limit of one cubic meter and a weight limit of ten kilograms. If it exceeds these limits, additional charges will apply."

"This kind of courier service is cheap but slow, taking at least half a month to arrive. There is also a faster option for five hundred and twenty Star Credits, which can deliver to any location in the star domain within seven days."

"I understand, thank you!" Li Yi said with a smile after hearing Qin Yong's explanation.

"You're welcome. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me." Qin Yong said kindly.

...

Li Yi carried the box to the living room and eagerly opened it.

DustMech, being a top-tier company, not only had exquisite packaging but also included a reinforced fiber backpack. This backpack could hold the entire DawnStar system, allowing it to be carried anywhere.

It was said that this backpack could withstand the bites of large mutant beasts, with an incredible level of reinforcement. It had DustMech's logo, which was not at all tacky and looked quite cool when worn.

Taking out the DawnStar system, Li Yi couldn't wait to put it on.

He had initially thought the DawnStar would be a large training device, and he had been worried that his room was too small to accommodate it. But upon seeing it, he realized that the training device was actually quite compact. When worn, it resembled a cross, perfectly fitting the human body's streamline.

"Is this how I should wear it, Coke?" Li Yi asked curiously.

Coke replied, "According to the design, it's correct. The DawnStar system is worn as a backpack. This training device is very light, only one kilogram."

Li Yi nodded heavily. No matter what, this was DustMech's new training system, and Li Yi was quite looking forward to its training effects.

Following the instructions, Li Yi gently pressed the button on his waist.

Click!

Instantly, Li Yi felt as if several bees had stung his back, causing a slight pain. For some reason, the DawnStar system suddenly extended several steel needles, piercing into his skin.

Swish~

A lightweight titanium alloy glasses suddenly extended from Li Yi's back, fitting over his eyes. It then displayed the results of his Force test, indicating that the silver needles were part of the life detection system.

The test results were terrible. Li Yi's Force index was only 0.2. Unlike the rich, who could consume large amounts of supplements to strengthen their bodies, he was far from being a qualified Force warrior.

"Force Core, break and rebuild, and you will be invincible! Do you want to accept the Force Core recasting?" Li Yi muttered the words displayed on the screen.

"What does this mean, Coke?"

"The Force Core is the source of all Force, existing within everyone. It seems your test results are not good, and this training system believes your Force Core needs to be recast."

"What about 'break and rebuild, and you will be invincible'?" Li Yi asked again.

"Recasting the Force Core is essentially breaking and rebuilding. I'm searching the Star Network for information. According to the data, no one in human Force cultivation history has used this method of recasting the Force Core. It seems to be a unique creation by DustMech."

"According to the instructions, after the Force Core is recast, it will maximize the warrior's potential, making them a powerful and unparalleled genius. The lower the Force value, the lower the risk of recasting. Your Force index is only 0.2, which is probably why the DawnStar system suggests you recast your Force Core."

With Coke around, Li Yi had become quite lazy, leaving the tedious task of checking the instructions to Coke.

"Break and rebuild, and you will be invincible!?"

"Maximize the potential of the Force!?"

These words struck a chord with Li Yi. Who wouldn't want to become a warrior? Who wouldn't want to be a high and mighty genius warrior? The temptation of breaking and rebuilding was almost fatal for Li Yi!

Biting his lip, Li Yi said in a deep voice, "As the saying goes, to achieve the greatest gain, you must bear the greatest risk. Break and rebuild? Very well, I accept!"

Without consulting Coke, Li Yi pressed the acceptance button on the screen.
