Shangjing Safety Zone.
Ninety-three people were teleported from the base.
Last time.
After the plot ended, the new recruits from Daxiacountry on Blue Star were all brought back to the base by Qin Feng.
They joined the base and their strength improved rapidly.
However, a small number of combat personnel suffered casualties during their routine hunting missions.
Seven were killed.
This level of attrition was entirely within expectations.
Qin Feng had never promised to guarantee the absolute safety of all base personnel.
Zero casualties meant no pressure, no difficulty.
How could there be growth?
In comparison.
Losing only seven people was already very low among adventurers from various countries.
At this moment.
The system notification sounded.
[The plots of "Rampage Beast" and "Extreme Cold" have ended, and rankings are being prepared for announcement.]
[Global Team First Place, Divine Punishment Team, 999 points.]
The members of Team One remained expressionless.
If they weren't first globally, who else could it be?
This time.
The team's total score reached 999 points, a height never before achieved.
Why?
Because the number and quality of mutated creatures killed in this plot were unprecedented.
Qin Feng himself had eliminated more than ten of the strongest Level 9 mutated creatures.
As for the total number...
The giant crocodile led millions of sea creatures to attack the base.
All of them were wiped out!
What did millions of kills mean?
[Corresponding country is Daxiacountry, Starship Hull Blueprint awarded.]
"What does that mean?"
Zhou Haiyang was a little confused. "They used to reward technology, but this time... why only a blueprint?"
"This blueprint is more important than all the previous technologies combined," Qin Feng smiled.
A complete starship design!
The plot of "The Day After Tomorrow" rewarded controllable nuclear fusion.
Corresponding to endless energy.
"Legion of the Living Dead" rewarded Team One with new material technology and Team Two with particle weapon technology.
New material technology was the foundation for building interstellar warships.
Without materials.
Everything else was futile.
As for particle weapons...
Although the technological level was very high, such weapons were not yet qualified to be the main armament of a starship.
In the "2012" plot, two rewards were also obtained.
One was starship propulsion technology.
In essence, it was the engine.
The second was energy conversion technology.
For example.
Directly converting energy into food.
This was an essential capability for starships undertaking long-distance, interstellar voyages.
With the above.
Could a starship be built?
No!
Far from enough!
Energy.
Materials.
Engines.
It seemed that core technologies were involved.
However, with Blue Star's current technological level, there was no concept of a starship, and a design blueprint... might not be created in a thousand years!
Design blueprints involved flight control, aerodynamic layout, electronics, and more.
A combination of technologies in many aspects.
It could be said.
The design blueprint was the most difficult hurdle.
Now, it had been obtained!
At this moment.
Everyone present became excited.
Not just them?
On Blue Star, hundreds of millions of netizens in the live broadcast room went crazy, releasing countless fireworks effects.
If.
Propulsion technology, represented by the engine, was a key to setting sail among the stars.
Then, the starship hull blueprint was the most crucial and core step towards visible entry into the interstellar era!
"It has nothing to do with me anyway."
Zheng Rui's face drooped, and he wasn't happy at all.
This was Team One's reward.
What about him?
A team only had ten spots.
Qin Feng, Xiao Ruoruo, Zhou Haiyang, Bird Master, Han Ling, Han Xiao, He Dong, Liu Pi, Tang Xiaoying, An Ling.
Exactly ten people.
Although Tongtong had a personal terminal, she was assigned to Team Two.
No choice.
There were only so many spots.
Therefore, when Zheng Rui joined the base, he could only be assigned to Team Two.
Even though his strength was outstanding in Team One.
But there was no room in Team One.
He couldn't demote other team members, right?
In fact.
Zheng Rui didn't care whether he was in Team One or Team Two.
What he cared about was that Team One won first place globally, but it had nothing to do with him.
But everyone understood.
When the giant crocodile led millions of sea creatures to attack, and the base faced a life-or-death situation, he played a crucial role.
This way.
He felt unhappy.
Clearly, I made a great contribution, so why don't I get any rewards?
Unfair!
Thus...
He felt bullied.
Negative emotions began to subtly arise.
[Global Team Second Place, Heaven-Slaying Team, 930 points.]
[Corresponding country is Daxiacountry, Death Ray Weapon Offense and Defense Technology awarded.]
What?!
Everyone was stunned.
Team One taking first place globally was entirely expected.
Team Two taking second place globally was also normal.
But this score...
Before.
The score gap between Team Two and Team One was very large.
This time, the difference was almost negligible, with both scoring over 900 points.
"If it weren't for Zheng Rui, Team Two would only have four or five hundred points," Qin Feng said with a faint smile.
Swish!
Everyone looked at Zheng Rui.
"Captain, this..." Zheng Rui felt a little embarrassed.
Just moments ago, due to unfairness, those slight negative emotions had vanished in an instant.
I'm proud!
I'm proud!
But don't look at me like that, I'll get shy.
"The highest scoring part this time was the segment where the sea creatures landed, and Zheng Rui made an indispensable contribution," Qin Feng praised without reservation.
Due to various reasons, even after pledging allegiance, Zheng Rui still had a dark seed in his heart.
For such a person...
Sufficient praise and recognition must be given.
Only then can the darkness within be dispelled.
"So he was placed in Team Two?"
Tang Xiaoying was surprised, then nodded. "I understand! He is in Team Two so that he can greatly increase Team Two's total score!"
The quality of the reward was not judged by ranking, but by score.
If the first place team had only three or four hundred points, the reward would also be very ordinary.
Similarly.
Even if Team Two only got second place.
But as long as the score was high enough, they could also receive excellent rewards.
Damn it!
Zheng Rui felt sweeter than eating honey.
See?
Even though I didn't make it into Team One, I pulled up the entire Team Two, which is even more awesome than other Team One members!
Apart from the captain, who else in Team One has the ability to single-handedly raise Team Two by hundreds of points?
None of you can do it!
I can!
"What is Death Ray Weapon Offense and Defense Technology?" Zhou Haiyang asked hurriedly.
"The weapon-grade technology previously rewarded was only particle weapons," Qin Feng explained.
Particle weapons were very powerful.
Far exceeding the current military industrial technology level of Blue Star.
However, strength was relative.
For a starship, particle weapons were not sufficient, and could only be used as secondary weapons at best.
Not only that.
Particle weapons could only be used for attack.
What about defense?
Death Ray Weapon Offense and Defense Technology!
It could serve as the main offensive weapon for starship-class carriers, possessing world-destroying power.
Crucially, it could also be used for defense, forming a death ray energy shield.
With this shield.
It could withstand asteroid-level impacts!
"Holy crap!"
Zhou Haiyang was dumbfounded. "Endless energy, engine propulsion technology, overall design blueprints, energy conversion, and offense/defense weapons... So, it seems almost all the technologies needed for a starship are complete?"
Qin Feng nodded.
In theory, as long as these technologies were transformed into reality, Daxiacountry could immediately build a starship!
