"System, can I recruit the Protoss' legendary ark ship 'Spear of Adun'?"
The system still made the same cold, mechanical, electronic sound without any emotion.
"The host does not have sufficient authority to recruit."
"Insufficient authority? Can you explain it in detail?" Chang Wei frowned and asked immediately.
The system quickly answered Chang Wei's question.
"Host authority represents the level of system functionality available. As host authority increases, more system features will gradually become available to the host. Currently, the host's authority level is Level 1. In addition to basic system functionality, it also provides 24-hour mission preparation time and the ability to recruit warships up to Level 4 civilization."
"The Protoss' legendary ark ship, the Spear of Adun, carries the spatial dimension conversion technology of a Level 5 civilization, as well as the time acceleration, deceleration, and freezing technology of a Level 6 civilization. Therefore, the host is deemed unrecruitable!"
So... is that so? The system can indeed recruit all sci-fi warships, but it requires upgrading its own permissions to do so.
It’s just like playing games and leveling up by killing monsters. If your level and attributes are not up to par, you can’t equip a legendary weapon even if you have one.
Thinking of this, Chang Wei continued to ask the system in his mind.
"System, how can I elevate my privileges?"
The system replied, "If the host wishes to upgrade his authority, in addition to continuing to complete the tasks issued by the system, he must also expand his fleet. Currently, the host only needs to recruit one more warship, bringing the total to four, to form the minimum fleet organization required. At that time, the host's Level 2 authority will be automatically activated."
"Level 2 authority: The host will have 48 hours to prepare for the mission and will be granted the right to name the fleet. At the same time, the system will enable a daily sign-in feature. After signing in, the host will receive a daily reward of 100 mission points. Signing in for 10 consecutive days will double the reward. Signing in for a month in a row will earn the host an additional 6,000 mission points as a perfect attendance bonus."
Chang Wei understood that the system also treated people differently. Simply put, the host's authority determined their own treatment.
You're just a squad leader in a unit, commanding only a handful of soldiers. And you expect to be treated the same as a division commander? You even want planes, tanks, and artillery? You're dreaming! A few extra grenades would be great! Do you think military funds just fall from the sky?
Chang Wei had also read about the system flow in online literature. Many of the systems in them were described as omnipotent, able to exchange for various extraordinary items or summon powerful NPCs. But if you look closely, you will find that almost all systems follow the same principle, that is, issuing tasks.
Why do we need to issue tasks? Why do we need to set permissions? Why do we need to put a price tag on it? Wouldn't it be better to just let the host take off invincibly?
There may be only one reason: the system can't do it!
Have you ever thought about this question: Are the items exchanged by the system not consumed? Where do the warships and NPCs that Chang Wei recruited come from?
Why did Matt Horner, Swann, Tosh, and the others feel like real people to him, rather than just NPCs?
Maybe...the system issues tasks in order to obtain something unknown, and this thing is the key to supporting the normal operation of the system.
In essence, I am just a worker who gets paid and whose fate is changed by the system.
It’s no wonder that Chang Wei thinks too much. The main reason is that there are too many conspiracy theories in the online literature, which makes him fall into reverie.
However, Chang Wei didn't care. At least not yet! Because, if it weren't for the system, he would probably still be suffering from cancer and have no hope for the future.
So, what is the truth? It doesn't really matter! Chang Wei just needs to be himself.
"System, my current authority only allows me to recruit warships from civilizations no higher than level 4. So, what exactly are the criteria for a level 4 civilization warship?"
The system replied mechanically.
"Currently, the Earth where the host is located is a Level 0.7 civilization. To break through the atmosphere and enter space, one needs to reach the second cosmic velocity, that is, at 11.2 kilometers per second, one can break free from the constraints of Earth's gravity. This means those man-made spacecraft!"
"A first-level civilization is called a planetary civilization. Their aircraft can freely enter and exit the planet where their civilization is located."
"Second-level civilizations are called stellar civilizations. Their spacecraft have achieved the ability to freely travel and mine within this star system."
"Level 3 civilizations are known as galactic civilizations. Their warships are capable of traveling at speeds close to the speed of light, allowing for simple travel within the galaxy."
"Level 4 civilizations are known as intergalactic civilizations. Their warships can easily navigate across galaxies."
"Level 5 civilizations are known as multidimensional space transformation civilizations. Their ships are able to transform and travel between various dimensions, allowing them to easily and quickly reach every corner of the universe."
"Level 6 civilizations are known as parallel world civilizations. Their ships can travel to other parallel universes, but these parallel universes are actually small bubbles on the super-membrane of the universe, essentially projections and refractions of a galaxy, a planet, or a city. These small bubbles drift and slide on the super-membrane of the universe, and whenever they intersect with other dimensions, both worlds can see each other as a mirage."
"Level 7 civilization is known as God-level civilization. The host does not have sufficient authority to know!"
Okay! Chang Wei finally understood.
In other words, the warships he had encountered in Starship Troopers and Titanfall 2 were, at best, Tier 3 civilization warships. And since his own Tier 4 civilization warship, the Hyperion, was no wonder fighting it was like fighting a rifle.
However, this also illustrates another point: his current fleet is not invincible. In the worlds he travels to in the future, he may encounter enemies with higher levels of civilization and more powerful fleets.
Such as: Warhammer 40K universe, Three-Body universe, EVE universe, Stellaris universe, etc.............
Indeed, a scholar must be broad-minded and resolute, as he has a heavy responsibility and a long way to go.
Otherwise, it would really be as that netizen said, being afraid of difficulties, and finally only being fit to play in low-end games.
Chang Wei continued to look through the warships that netizens had replied to, and after a period of careful screening, he finally determined the spot for another warship.
"It's decided to be you! From the supercarrier Infinity in the game 'Halo'!"
