233: Hibernation, immortality in disguise?

“Congratulations, Host, you have killed an interstellar hunter. Since this is your first time killing another interstellar hunter, you have received a reward of ten achievement points and ten thousand interstellar prestige. Your current interstellar prestige is: eleven thousand one hundred points.”

“At the same time, your interstellar prestige exclusive title ‘Interstellar Hunter’ has been upgraded to: ‘Interstellar Hunter (One-Star)’.”

“Congratulations, Host, because you killed the evil interstellar hunter invader, successfully protected your home planet’s civilization, and prevented billions of humans on your home planet from becoming slaves, you have received a reward of one million fame points. Your current accumulated fame points are: one million six hundred sixty-two thousand two hundred fifty points.”

“Congratulations, Host, because your fame points have reached one million, your fame points exclusive title has been upgraded from ‘Awe-Inspiring Throughout the Lands’ to: ‘Overlooking the Nine Provinces’.”

“Congratulations, Host, because you have obtained the title ‘Overlooking the Nine Provinces’ for the first time, you have received a reward of one achievement point and five blind box gift packs exclusive to the ‘Overlooking the Nine Provinces’ fame points title.”

“Note: This blind box gift pack can draw technological products up to Level 3 civilization.”

“Congratulations, Host, because you currently have some specific interesting titles, you have received an additional reward of one hundred eighty thousand national treasure value.”

“Congratulations, Host…”

The System directly broadcasted a series of reward notifications.

To be honest, the rewards were not particularly generous, but they also exceeded Lin Yang’s expectations.

Killing Aliens actually yielded rewards…

This was truly powerful!

After the System finished broadcasting all the reward notifications, Lin Yang frowned and said, “System, I remember there was a series of planet protection missions before, right? I killed Solo and stopped his invasion. Why didn’t I hear any notification about completing the planet protection mission this time?”

“Responding to Host, the Planet Protection series mission (Phase One) requires certain specific conditions to be met, which you have not yet fulfilled.”

“Huh? Specific conditions? What specific conditions?” Lin Yang was a bit puzzled. “I’ve already stopped Solo and his group from harming the humans of Blue Star. Doesn’t that count as fulfilling the conditions for protecting the planet?”

“Apologies, Host, this mission is a phased series mission, unlike the artifact repatriation circular series mission. It is not possible to receive mission rewards by completing a single small segment. You need to complete an entire phased series mission of anti-invasion.”

“…You don’t mean that resisting one invasion isn’t enough, and I need to successfully resist several more invasions from Alien civilizations, do you?” Lin Yang was a bit speechless.

“Respected Host, you can temporarily understand it that way, or you can also understand it as each successful resistance to an invasion accumulates progress for mission completion. You may still need to successfully resist some more Alien civilization invasions.”

“…Then how many more successful resistances to invasions are needed to complete this Phase One mission?” Lin Yang rolled his eyes.

“Apologies, Host, this phase mission does not have a fixed number of completions. Instead, it is determined by the degree and intensity of each Alien civilization invasion. If a powerful invasion is encountered, perhaps one time will be enough to meet the standard for mission completion.”

Lin Yang immediately widened his eyes: “You don’t mean to say that Solo and their invasion force were too weak, do you?”

“Responding to Host, you can think so.”

“….” Lin Yang was too exhausted to complain.

This power was still weak?

It was only because he was here; otherwise, just one attack ship from Solo’s fleet could have leveled Blue Star, couldn’t it?

But since the System judged it this way, he was too lazy to say more. He glanced at the twinkling starlight outside the Apocalypse and muttered, “It will take ten to twenty days to reach the Red Thunder Empire. It’s too boring to just stay on the Apocalypse like this.”

“Host, the Apocalypse has an entertainment room and can also provide you with some large games for your amusement,” the System suddenly interjected. “Furthermore, you can also choose to enter a state of hibernation, and the System will wake you when we arrive at the Red Thunder Empire.”

“Hibernation?” Lin Yang’s eyes lit up. “Is it like the hibernation pods in sci-fi blockbusters?”

“Yes, Host, the Apocalypse has advanced hibernation pods. Entering a hibernation pod allows you to enter a state of hibernation without affecting your physical health. Your physical functions will also be maintained at the state they were in when you entered the hibernation pod. Hibernation pods are also the most preferred and convenient choice for long-distance interstellar travel,” the System provided a detailed explanation.

“There really is such a function? So, if someone enters a hibernation pod when they are young, then as long as there are no accidents, they will still look young when they wake up after hundreds of years in the hibernation pod?”

Lin Yang’s gaze was burning.

Didn’t this equate to a form of immortality?

If he woke up to see the world hundreds of years later after each sufficient hibernation, and then continued to hibernate, couldn’t he live in a continuous cycle for thousands or even tens of thousands of years?

“Host, the kind of hibernation you are referring to requires specific environments and more advanced technological support. The hibernation pods of the Apocalypse only ensure that physical functions remain unchanged for a short period and cannot achieve the hundreds of years of hibernation you mentioned.”

The System seemed to have analyzed what Lin Yang was thinking. After making an initial explanation, it continued:

“Moreover, for the kind of hibernation lasting hundreds of years that you mentioned, after waking from hibernation, you cannot continue to hibernate again within a short period. There must be an interval of at least about ten years, otherwise, serious problems will occur with the body.”

“Furthermore, as the number of hibernation cycles increases, the time interval required before entering hibernation again after each awakening will also increase exponentially. There is also one point that Host needs to pay special attention to: the longer the single hibernation period, the longer the time interval required before wanting to hibernate again after awakening.”

“In addition, once the hibernation period is too long, the body will also be weaker after awakening, requiring professional rehabilitation exercises lasting at least several years before normal life can be resumed.”

After a long explanation, the System made a final summary: “Please Host be sure to know that attempting to use hibernation technology for a form of immortality is unrealistic. Unless a major unforeseen event occurs, the System strongly advises against entering a long-term hibernation state!”

“If you must enter long-term hibernation, the single hibernation period should preferably not exceed one hundred years. A single hibernation period exceeding one hundred years will cause great irreversible damage to the body! Please Host, be sure to remember!!”

“…Alright, it seems I was taking things too much for granted.” Lin Yang smacked his lips.

The System used a strong warning tone, indicating that the consequences of this matter were indeed very serious.

Lin Yang then dispelled his beautiful idea from just now and slowly said, “Then I’ll enter the hibernation pod first. Is hibernating for ten or twenty days fine?”

“Responding to Host, short-term hibernation, even up to several years, will not cause any impact on the body. Please rest assured.”

“Okay, then I’ll hibernate. Wake me up in advance when we’re close to arriving,” Lin Yang instructed.

“Okay, Host, the hibernation pod has been activated for you.”

“…”

At the same time, just as Lin Yang entered the hibernation pod, on a distant technological planet in the Galaxy.

Inside a towering palace-like building, a man who looked somewhat similar to Solo, but much more heroic than Solo, was listening to the report of a subordinate kneeling at his feet.

As the report progressed, a strong killing intent gradually appeared in the man’s eyes.

If Lin Yang were here, looking at the man’s appearance, he would immediately be able to determine that this person was Solo’s older brother—Soman!

Thank you to the beautiful sister from Zhoujin Road for the 1766 coin reward! Wishing the beautiful sister eternal youth and prosperity every year! Bowing to you!

Thank you to all brothers and sisters! Bowing to everyone!
