110: Planet Communicator (Second Update)

“This Dead Fatty, he’s actually being sarcastic.”

Lin Yang cursed with a smile, but seeing as the Dead Fatty was willing to steal money just to treat him to a meal, he decided not to bother with him.

Then, he asked the System: “You just said I completed two targeted expectation missions, which is why I received the title of Dream Weaver. What do you mean by targeted expectation?”

He had been so busy communicating with the Great Science Academy that he almost forgot about this matter.

“Answering the Host: Targeted expectation refers to when the people of your country specifically expect you to manufacture a certain item or provide a certain technology. If you successfully provide the corresponding item or technology, it will be counted as successfully completing one targeted expectation mission.”

“However, please note that only when the expectation’s popularity value reaches a certain level will it be counted as an expectation mission.”

“Oh, so like the operating System before, and this time the mobile phone, both were things expected by the worldwide population, so they count as me completing targeted expectation missions?”

Lin Yang somewhat understood the meaning of targeted expectation.

“Yes, Host.”

“Then how is the popularity of this expectation calculated? What level does it need to reach?”

“Answering the Host: The popularity value of targeted expectation is comprehensively assessed by the System, but you can also refer to the topic popularity on major social media platforms. When the relevance of topics specifically expecting you to provide a certain technology or item exceeds 100 million, it is possible to trigger the completion of a targeted expectation mission.”

“But when I went to Sakura to cause trouble before, it was also a worldwide hot topic, so why wasn’t that counted?” Lin Yang wondered.

And it wasn’t just that time in Sakura; almost every time he created something afterward, it became a worldwide hot topic.

“Answering the Host: When you were causing trouble in Sakura, because your identity was not yet known to the general public, they only hoped that a miracle might appear, but that specific expectation was not directly fed back to you, so it is not counted as an expectation mission.”

“The triggering of a targeted expectation mission only happens when the people of your country have a specific and strong expectation of you. The same applies to other situations!”

“Oh…”

Lin Yang frowned slightly; this expectation mission was quite complicated.

Simply put, there must be a specific expected item, and this item must be specifically expected for him to complete, and this expectation value must also meet a certain standard to trigger the expectation mission and thus be counted towards the number of completed expectation missions.

He then stopped asking further questions. This was determined by the System, and his questions wouldn’t change anything.

Such special missions should be left to chance.

Of course, if there’s an opportunity, he could also guide a wave, going with the flow.

“Host, please note, the System has detected new progress in the aerospace technology of your current country. Moon landing may be initiated ahead of schedule. Please pay attention.”

Suddenly, the System issued a somewhat piercing warning sound.

Lin Yang’s expression immediately changed: “You mean, the aerospace technology of the Unpretty United States has made new breakthroughs?”

The country he was currently in was the Unpretty United States. The System said his current country, so it was the Unpretty United States.

“Yes, Host, so the System has temporarily adjusted its plan. After calculation, the System recommends that you go to the Moon as soon as possible for relevant preparations.”

“This… but my Most Wanted status hasn’t been canceled yet, and I was planning to cause some trouble in other countries.” Lin Yang was stunned.

“Host, don’t worry, your Most Wanted status will not be canceled in a short time, unless they catch you or completely lose hope of catching you, so you have plenty of time.”

“Alright then, should I go to the Moon immediately?”

“The System only provides suggestions; the final decision rests with you, the Host.”

“Okay, then I have a question. If I go to the Moon now, how do I maintain contact with Earth?”

Lin Yang had no resistance to going to the Moon; on the contrary, he was full of anticipation.

But his only concern was how to maintain contact with his country from the Moon.

“The Host can exchange for a super long-distance planetary communication device. Communication will not be affected.”

Lin Yang immediately opened the national treasure value mall to take a look.

“Planetary Communicator (Primary): Can communicate with nearby planets within the Solar System. Price: 10,000 national treasure value.”

“Planetary Communicator (Intermediate): Can communicate with nearby planets within the Galaxy. Price: 1,000,000 national treasure value.”

“Planetary Communicator (Advanced): Can communicate with planets across super distant galaxies. Price: 5,000,000 national treasure value.”

“Planetary Communicator (Quantum Level): Can communicate with planets within the known and detected universe. Price: 100,000,000 national treasure value.”

“My goodness, this is too exaggerated.”

Seeing the functions of these planetary communicators, Lin Yang couldn’t help but exclaim.

Especially the Quantum Level communicator, which could even facilitate communication across cosmic distances.

Excessively powerful.

However, this didn’t mean he could try to send messages to contact alien civilizations right now.

Because this planetary communicator had a limitation: it required two communicators of the same level to establish a connection for super long-distance communication.

This meant that if he wanted to communicate with an alien planet, he would first have to go to their planet and install a planetary communicator.

Therefore, it was not very realistic to use this planetary communicator to test for the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations.

Of course, it wasn’t entirely unrealistic.

Because, besides the Primary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Quantum levels, there was also one more…

“Planetary Communicator (Forced Invasion Level): Can unilaterally ignore galactic distances, perform communication signal retrieval, and lock onto the strongest communication signal of the nearest Galaxy outside of this Galaxy to forcefully initiate communication. Price: 10 billion national treasure value.”

“Note: Users please be aware that using the Forced Invasion Level Planetary Communicator for unilateral forced communication retrieval may attract the prying of unknown civilizations, which could be benevolent or lead to murderous intent. Please ensure your technological civilization has the strength to withstand the impact of unknown civilizations before use, otherwise, please use with caution.”

This item made Lin Yang’s pupils involuntarily constrict.

Forced invasion?!

It could unilaterally perform planetary communication retrieval and directly initiate communication!

This meant that using this item could test whether other extraterrestrial civilizations existed.

However, putting aside the System’s warning, just the 10 billion price tag was something he couldn’t afford at the moment.

At this moment, he deeply felt the sensation of being poor.

He still had to continue working hard to earn national treasure value.

“System, can I first go and retrieve all the cultural relics from other regions of the Unpretty United States and then go to the Moon? Is there enough time?” Lin Yang asked.

“Answering the Host, there is enough time, but the System does not recommend the Host do so. The System recommends you go to the Moon first.”

“Oh? Why?”

The System’s answer was a bit unexpected for Lin Yang.

“Answering the Host, going to the Moon can yield a large amount of resources and rewards, allowing you to build your country’s Sky Carrier or more advanced armed forces.”

“At that time, you can completely command a fleet of Sky Carriers to dominate worldwide, making them voluntarily hand over your country’s cultural relics. That way, you will receive even more rewards!”

“Huh? That’s also possible?”

Lin Yang was stunned.

The second update is here!
