[Reputation System Activated.]
[Gaining reputation points is possible through any news related to ‘me’ known by different civilizations.]
[The progress bar increases according to the percentage of a civilization’s population who hears about ‘me’.]
[1%, 5%, 10%, 15°/o…ioo% – different reputation points can be gained at each milestone.]
[Current number of civilizations with an active reputation progress bar: 1]
[Glenn Civilization (Level 2): 0.0000001%]
[Reputation: 0]
[Currently exchangeable technology: None]
“Is that it?”
Zhao Yu felt somewhat disappointed. He had thought that the reputation system would reflect his fame on Earth, but it turned out that he had to obtain reputation from other civilizations.
Moreover, the whole civilization had to be aware of matters related to him.
For example, if an alien civilization had 10 billion people, to reach a 1% progress bar, at least 100 million people must hear about matters related to him.
Zhao Yu shook his head, “I guess I can’t increase my reputation value for now…”
In the reputation list, the Glenn Civilization undoubtedly belonged to the Moro fleet. So many zeros followed the progress bar that if he wanted to gain fame, he would likely have to destroy another one hundred billion Moro fleets.
“By this calculation, does the Glenn Civilization, to which the Moro fleet belongs, have a population of 10 trillion?!”
Zhao Yu was somewhat shocked, “That’s too exaggerated! A Level 2 civilization has so many people?!”
However, upon further thought, it seemed possible. After all, Earth was only a
0.75 civilization with a population of 8.5 billion.
With Earth’s current productivity, it could easily sustain 100 billion people.
950 light-years away from the solar system, on a seemingly barren planet, shouts suddenly echoed from underground.
“Two planets have exploded!”
“Where?!”
“Coordinates X:19842345> Y:12482323, 2:38414239…”
“How far away from us?”
“950 light years.”
All the creatures in this underground base were humanoid, covered with blue scales.
The leader, upon hearing the news, contemplated briefly and said, “Send a spaceship through the Stargate to report this…”
Soon, a spaceship, similar in appearance to a squid, flew out from a fake volcano and left the planet, remaining invisible throughout the journey.
Once in space, it saw a massive black hole, visible to the naked eye, larger than the entire star system.
The squid-like spaceship did not pause, flying directly towards the giant black hole.
488 light-years away from the solar system.
In a star system with dozens of planets, on a steel planet at the outer edge, “The star system had two planets explode. There must be intelligent life…” “Perhaps a foreign civilization invaded this system, destroying the native civilization…”
“With only two planets, it should be a low-level civilization that has just entered the universe. How pitiful…”
“Enough, stop talking. Send this information to the foreign affairs department.
Let’s see if they want to send a fleet to investigate…”
“It would be interesting if we could track the mother star of that roaming fleet…”
69 light-years away from the solar system.
In a star system with nine planets, the space observatory department chose to report immediately after discovering the situation.
“There were two planets in this star system that exploded almost at the same time…”
“We can be sure that this was definitely not a natural explosion, but the work of intelligent beings…”
“Why would they blow up their own planets?!”
“We don’t know, it could be civil strife, or perhaps those two planets were ill-fated…”
“Is it possible that those two planets weren’t destroyed by them but by foreign powers?!”
“You’re saying, an alien invasion?!”
“This… finally we see another civilization, and instead of thinking about communication, they’re thinking about destruction. Is that possible?” “Let’s not talk about this. The simultaneous explosion of these two planets at least tells us one thing…”
“What’s that?!”
“In this universe, we are not alone. There definitely are other civilizations somewhere!”
The people present were somewhat excited and decided to announce this good news to the public as soon as they left.
After the explosions of Pluto and Neptune within the solar system, several civilizations within a radius of 1000 light-years from the solar system, with the solar system as the center, discovered this situation.
At the same time, Zhao Yu, who was on the mothership, noticed changes in the reputation system again.
[Current number of civilizations with reputation progress bar open: 22]
[Modou Civilization (Level 3): 0.0000001%]
[Glenn Civilization (Level 2): 0.000001%]
[Fire Fury Civilization (Level 2): 0.000001%]
[…]
[Boat Paper Civilization (Level 1): 0.00001%]
[Mihui Civilization (Level 1): 0.00001%]
“What…”
Looking at the list of civilizations refreshed in the reputation system, Zhao Yu was stunned.
“What’s going on?!”
They hadn’t done anything, so why had so many civilizations suddenly found out about them?!
“Could it be… what the Moro fleet said was true, they really have a Universal
Federation?!”
“Did the Moro fleet tell their Universal Federation about us after they ran away?!”
Zhao Yu was slightly taken aback, but he also found it impossible. If the
Universal Federation really existed, why would the Moro fleet want to destroy them?!
But no matter what, this situation must have something to do with the Moro fleet.
950 light-years away from the solar system, inside a giant black hole, a hidden paradise houses dozens of galaxies.
On one of the planets, some people were discussing the explosion of two planets in the solar system.
“We can’t go. The space-time ripple caused by the simultaneous explosion of two planets would at least affect 1000 light-years…”
“If it was just a normal roaming fleet destroying a native civilization, that would be one thing. But I’m afraid it’s a trap set by a higher civilization, trying to lure us there…”
“In our star domain, it’s been a long time since someone was bold enough to destroy two or more planets at once, right?!”
“Assuming this is indeed a trap set by a higher civilization, their boldness in staging this feast shows that they are confident they can conquer all civilizations within a range of 1000 light-years…”
“Hmph, our Modou civilization isn’t weak. How about dominating within a 1000 light-years radius?!”
“The one who set the trap, at best, can only deceive Level 2 civilizations…”
“So, it’s most likely destroyed by a roaming fleet…”
“Regardless, let’s first send a legion to observe from close range within a 10 light-years radius of the target system…”
“If we encounter other fleets coming to check the situation, we can follow them…”
A civilization within a star system 366 light-years away from the solar system was also discussing this matter.
“We can’t go. If the phenomena were caused by a roaming fleet destroying a native civilization, that would be fine. But what if it’s a trap?”
“Even if it’s not a trap, such a big movement will likely alert all civilizations in this star domain. If we go there, we might be caught by other higher civilizations, and that could lead to trouble here…”
“Yes, the information obtained from the last neutrino observation showed that there is a Level 3 civilization in this region. We better keep a low profile…” “But should we just let it go?!”
“Self-preservation is the key. There are always civilizations that aren’t afraid of death and will go to investigate. We can just watch…”
“Right, living longer is the most important thing. Fighting and killing are just temporary…”
This star domain is usually very quiet, like a place without life.
On this day, two explosions completely lit up the universe, startling all hunters hiding in the darkness.
Just as Zhao Yu’s reputation system indicated, within a 1000 light-years radius with the solar system as the center, there were as many as 22 civilizations of Level 1 and above. All of them found out about the explosions of two planets in the solar system.
Some civilizations, confident in their strength, chose to send legions to take action.
Some civilizations were worried about a trap and chose not to take risks, turning a deaf ear.
Some Level 1 civilizations, regretting that their spaceship speed was not fast enough to go to the solar system for a friendly contact with alien civilizations, could only send electromagnetic signals, hoping for a response.
At the same time, Zhao Yu’s mind once again heard the mission issued by the system..
