545: This is really good value for money...

"But that's not necessarily true," Bai Jun said at this point.

"Big Brother Chen, that star map of yours only shows an area of seven hundred light-years, right?"

"Then, once we have a Spacetime Jumpship, why can't we go further?"

"Moreover, this vermilion bird class spacetime jumpship is very easy to refuel; it only needs a little bit of your blood, Big Brother Chen."

"Besides, most of the time, it doesn't need refueling, only when the hull sustains extensive damage and needs repairs..."

Listening to Bai Jun, everyone felt that what he said made some sense.

"So, what exactly should we do?"

Luo Shuo scanned the group, his gaze finally resting on Chen Heng.

"Heh heh," Chen Heng grinned, lightly tapping the table with his finger.

"Only children make choices; I want it all!"

"Since we have everything, why should we set limits for ourselves?"

"Anyway, the transformation of Heavenly Demon Star will take at least two years. During these two years, we'll go out and scout ahead for Heavenly Demon Star."

"But Big Brother Chen," Bai Jun frowned upon hearing Chen Heng's words and turned to look.

"Once you leave the Heavenly Demon Galaxy, your powers of rules will become unusable, right?"

"What if..."

"There are no 'what ifs,'" Chen Heng waved his hand. The power of rules, to Chen Heng, was merely icing on the cake.

His foundation lay in his terrifying strength and his immortal Physical Body.

"So, it's settled then?" The others looked at Chen Heng with some anticipation.

They greatly missed their past days of adventuring with Chen Heng, and that enjoyable time was about to begin anew.

The vast, boundless star sea awaited their exploration... "Meet at the Central Factory at this time tomorrow. The few of us are enough for this exploration."

"Alright!"

...At dawn, Chen Heng opened his eyes.

He watched Wu Ming and Wu Yue exercising in the courtyard, greeted his family, then shattered the space beside him and appeared in the Central Factory.

Looking at the streamlined, fiery red warship beside him, Chen Heng gently touched it.

"It's magnificent..." Even Chen Heng, with his muscle-bound mind, had to admit that the exterior of this vermilion bird class spacetime jumpship was indeed handsome.

Although Liu Ye's mind was a bit abnormal, his aesthetic sense had always been on point.

However, Chen Heng still intended to slightly modify this warship, which was almost a work of art.

Of course, it was impossible for Chen Heng's muscle-bound mind to do it himself, but he had something no one else possessed.

That was the optimization system.

He certainly couldn't directly optimize the entire Heavenly Demon Star or the entire Heavenly Demon Star fleet; his limited Optimization counts couldn't handle it.

But a small vermilion bird class spacetime jumpship could still be optimized.

Looking at the vermilion bird class spacetime jumpship, which only required one Optimization count, Chen Heng couldn't help but exclaim how cost-effective it was.

The moment he became a Chaos Heavenly Demon, all his miscellaneous Bloodlines lit up with a button.

That was the long-unseen Fusion Optimization.

It was just that Chen Heng's current Optimization counts were temporarily insufficient for Fusion Optimization; it would likely require a significant number of Optimization counts.

It would definitely be above 60,000.

Chen Heng lightly clicked the optimization button for the vermilion bird class spacetime jumpship.

"Optimization successful, Optimization counts - 1"

"vermilion bird class spacetime jumpship -> Vermilion Bird Class Shuttle"

"Spacetime Jump Distance (15 light-years) -> Spacetime Shuttle (60 light-years)"

"Outer Defensive Armor Strength increased by 200%"

"Particle Beam Cannon -> High-Pressure Particle Beam Cannon (Power increased by 300%, can penetrate same-level armor, cooldown halved)"

"Travel speed increased by 100%"

"Damn, the cost-effectiveness is too high..."

Chen Heng couldn't help but complain. He had consumed a full sixty thousand Optimization counts to advance from Origin Heavenly Demon to Chaos Heavenly Demon.

That was enough to build a fleet of sixty thousand vermilion bird class spacetime jumpships... But after learning about Heavenly Demon Star's current production capacity, Chen Heng felt it was more realistic to use them on himself.

If these vermilion bird class spacetime jumpships were produced at full capacity, three thousand could be made in a single day.

They could be thrown around like firecrackers without a second thought.

If a fleet were to be assembled, at least a hundred thousand would be needed, and even exhausting Chen Heng wouldn't be enough for Optimization.

Not to mention, the vermilion bird class spacetime jumpship was only the first generation of Spacetime Jumpships put into use; it would definitely be updated and replaced later.

Investing a large number of Optimization counts in it was not very cost-effective.

Optimizing blueprints wasn't realistic either; the optimized blueprints, whether in Materials or technology, were at least two generations ahead of the current Heavenly Demon Star tech tree.

It would really be better to develop slowly on his own.

Taking out his authentication card, the vermilion bird class spacetime jumpship opened its hatch after authenticating Chen Heng's identity... Half an hour later, Bai Jun and the others also arrived at the Central Factory on time.

Led by the managing personnel, everyone saw the 237-meter-long Vermilion Bird Class warship.

"Magnificent..." Bai Jun and Luo Shuo's eyes nearly popped out.

Although they had only lived on the modernized Heavenly Demon Star for over three years and had seen many modern machines.

The crimson, streamlined spaceship before them still dazzled their eyes.
