169: Interstellar war mongers, hell-bent on money!
Lin Yang hadn't heard the System's voice for a while.
Previously, when he was Overseas, he could hear the System's various voices almost every day.
But since returning to the country until now, the System had remained silent.
After not hearing it for a while, hearing it suddenly now made him miss it quite a bit.
The System ignored Lin Yang's emotions and directly broadcast the prompt.
"Congratulations, Host! Due to your first-time attack on another planet as an Alien, completing a show of force and plundering a large amount of resources, you have gained ten achievement points and unlocked a new achievement title: Interstellar War Profiteer!"
"Interstellar War Profiteer (Special): In the vast and cold Universe, whether it's the powerful, advanced civilization Universe Empire at the center of the Universe, or the remote small stars at the edge of the Universe, there are a large number of Interstellar War Profiteers who instigate Interstellar wars to profit from them."
"Some Interstellar War Profiteers claim to be righteous, fighting for justice (?), while some Interstellar War Profiteers are like rats crossing the street, hated by everyone. Wherever they go, the stars fall silent, and they become wanted targets of multiple Interstellar Universe Countries."
"The Host has initially developed the traits of an Interstellar War Profiteer. Please note, Host, with this title, every time you initiate an Interstellar war, whether successful or failed, you will gain an additional ten percent Interstellar Prestige."
"Please strive, Host, to become a renowned or dreaded Interstellar War Profiteer as soon as possible!"
...Lin Yang was speechless.
Interstellar War Profiteer, what in the world is that...
Although it sounded quite imposing, it didn't seem like a title a good person would have.
Especially, the System even put a question mark in the parentheses after the phrase 'fighting for justice'.
This was a bit strange.
And that phrase, 'become a renowned or dreaded Interstellar War Profiteer as soon as possible,' also had an indescribable oddity.
Whether it was renowned or dreaded, didn't they both mean famous? Why use two different terms specifically?
And that Interstellar Prestige, it was something new. It sounded very similar to Renown Value. He wondered if it was the same thing.
Then, he was about to ask.
But he heard the System's voice sound again.
"Congratulations, Host! You have gained Interstellar Prestige for the first time. You have gained ten achievement points."
"Interstellar Prestige: A product brought by Interstellar War Profiteers. Every time you initiate an Interstellar war, you will gain a certain amount of Interstellar Prestige."
"Please note, Host, Interstellar Prestige is different from Renown Value. Renown Value is entirely positive, used to evaluate your influence in certain societies, while Interstellar Prestige may bring some negative side effects. Your current Interstellar Prestige is one hundred points."
"Congratulations, Host! You have gained the primary exclusive title for Interstellar Prestige: Interstellar Hunter."
"Please strive, Host, to increase your Interstellar Prestige and be careful to hide yourself to avoid being hunted by higher-level Interstellar Hunters."
"Congratulations, Host! Due to your suppression of Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce and other countries on your home planet, you have gained the goodwill of the people of your home planet's country. You have gained five thousand Renown Value. As you possess the title 'Admired by Ten Thousand', you have gained an additional five hundred Renown Value. Your current Renown Value is forty-seven thousand six hundred fifty-one points."
"Congratulations, Host! Due to your excessive extortion of resources, you have become a greedy person who takes everything from the Western countries on your home planet. You have gained a limited-time humorous title: Money Grubbing."
"Note: This humorous title will exist for one month. During this period, every time you convert extorted resources into usable corresponding technological or armed forces, you will receive a random amount of additional national treasure value rewards."
Lin Yang: "..."
He was speechless.
Although he suddenly gained several different titles, none of them sounded good.
Did he look that much like a bad person?
Especially this last humorous title.
Money Grubbing!
So hard to bear.
It was truly too hard to bear.
This shouldn't be called a humorous title; it should be called a bad-taste title.
"Hey, System, why did you put a question mark after 'fighting for justice'? Could it be that Interstellar War Profiteers are all evil, just using the banner of justice to cover up their misdeeds?"
After confirming that the System's prompts had ended, Lin Yang asked.
He was quite curious about this question.
"Sorry, Host, this question cannot be answered for now. You can explore it yourself. Interstellar War Profiteers are a relatively special existence and a special group."
...I'm exploring what? We can't even get out of the Solar System right now.
Lin Yang was immediately speechless.
"Please cheer up, Host. The System believes that the Host will definitely become a great Interstellar War Profiteer, and your prestige will spread throughout the Universe."
Hearing this, Lin Yang's eyes flashed: "You have quite a lot of confidence in me. So, are there really other powerful technological civilizations in the Universe we are currently in? Have they detected the existence of Blue Star? How far is the nearest technological civilization from Blue Star?"
"Sorry, Host, this question cannot be answered for now. You can explore it yourself."
The System repeated a piece of useless information.
...Can't you be more helpful? You can't answer this, you can't answer that. What's the use of you?
Lin Yang was slightly displeased.
"Sorry, Host, for the inconvenience. Please understand."
"The way you speak, it's like that... you know?" Lin Yang frowned, "You're like a useless customer service agent on an online shopping mall; you only say that one sentence whenever there's a problem."
"Sorry, Host, for the inconvenience..."
"Shut up, thank you!"
Lin Yang couldn't help but interrupt the System.
He was truly tired of hearing that sentence.
"Okay, Host, I obey your will. You don't have to be polite. It is the System's honor to serve you. You can consult the System at any time with any questions, and the System will provide service for you at any time."
...No, are you sick?
Lin Yang gave up.
After not seeing it for a while, why did this dog System feel so strange?
"Thank you for your concern, Host. As an XX-level super XX-all-intelligent XX System, the System will not be infected with any human viruses."
Lin Yang: "..."
He was too lazy to say anything more to the System.
However, the System's words did reveal one piece of information: it seemed to be a very high-level existence.
It was just a pity that when it came to the crucial part, those key words were intentionally blocked by the System.
He didn't hear them.
He also didn't continue to press.
Since the System had blocked the key words from him, if he were to ask, the System's answer would definitely be 'this question cannot be disclosed for now'.
"Idol, Idol, are you there? My teacher is looking for you!"
Wang Guang's call suddenly sounded from outside the door.
Lin Yang pushed the door open: "What is it?"
"Huh? Haven't you seen the news?"
Wang Guang was stunned, then immediately said, "Sakura announced that they have developed the first-generation mecha, as well as a lighter powered exoskeleton device, and the mecha can be directly put into use by armed soldiers! The internet is in an uproar!"
"What? What did you say? What did Sakura develop?"
Lin Yang stopped in his tracks.
He didn't hear wrong, did he?
Sakura was severely weakened by him a while ago, what did they develop now?
Mecha?
Are you kidding me?
Thank you all for reading. Tomorrow is Xiao Hu's birthday, the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, hehe. Is there anyone who shares a birthday with Xiao Hu... Requesting votes.
