In the next few days, Old Homan was very busy and did not come to the manor again.
However, Amanda contacted Lin Yifei every day to ask if they were missing anything.
To be honest, there is really no shortage of anything in the manor, even three game cabins are prepared for Su Xiaofan and the others to use.
In the past few days, Maduge has transformed into an Internet-addicted teenager. After getting his ID, he didn't even sleep and spent all day in the game cabin.
Su Xiaofan and Lin Yifei also registered their own IDs, and all three of them played the game Star Wars.
In fact, in Purple Blood Civilization, this game is the most popular.
The revenue from this game alone accounts for more than 80% of the entire Purple Blood Civilization game output every year, and no other game can compare with it.
Interstellar War uses the technology of the second-level Purple Blood Civilization, which is immersive virtual technology.
This kind of technology was mentioned in some games when Su Xiaofan was on Earth.
After entering the game cabin, the device will be connected to the body and brain waves through the skin, projecting the most realistic situation of the person into the game.
If the user is weak, his physical condition will be restored to 90% in the game, and can only be adjusted upward by 10% at most.
However, for the strong, this game can significantly reduce the strength, because in some game training grounds, if the physical strength exceeds a certain limit, the training ground cannot be used.
When using the game cabin, both Mu Ge and Lin Yifei reduced their strength by nearly 80%.
Even so, when the two of them logged into the game for the first time, they were recommended by the game to take up the Mecha Master profession.
In addition to the mecha division profession, there are many other professions in interstellar war games, such as battleship command professions and war logistics professions, which are divided into seven or eight types.
As for Su Xiaofan, those electronic devices were unable to capture Su Xiaofan's true strength.
Basically, the strength shown by Su Xiaofan is slightly stronger than that of the Purple Blood Man.
However, Su Xiaofan's spiritual consciousness was so strong that even though it was not sensed by the device at all, when he logged into the game, he was still recommended to study in the Command Department.
Su Xiaofan had no interest in commanding battleships, and finally chose the mecha profession.
The game Star Wars does not mean that after you log in, you can drive a battleship or wear a mecha to kill everyone.
After logging in for the first time, the first thing to do is learn.
If you choose the Mecha Master profession, you must first learn the structure and basic operations of the Mecha.
Only after completing the study and passing the in-game assessment, the player will be awarded the title of trainee mecha master and will be eligible to operate mechas at this time.
Of course, the mecha models I first came into contact with were all the oldest mechas in the empire that had been eliminated. Apart from being in games, these mechas can only be seen in museums.
With this ancient mecha, players need to master the game for a certain period of time, or control the mecha to complete a practical assessment before they can enter the next stage of the game.
However, at this level, many players who choose Mecha Master will be eliminated.
Because wanting to control these ancient mechas requires very high physical requirements, those who don't have the strength and dream of becoming mecha masters will not be able to pass the test no matter what.
In the end, these people can only delete their accounts and choose a new career.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Ninety-nine percent of players have experienced it. Only the one percent can continue to play as mecha masters.
Of course, there are also some perseverant players who will stay at this level for several years or even more than ten years. If they want to be sincere, the golden stone will open.
But in the end, these people can only give up the Mecha Master profession in disappointment, because the Intelligent Brain has no emotions, and it will only make judgments based on the player's strength.
But for people with outstanding talents, the game console is very friendly.
Lin Yifei and Mu Ge passed this test almost an hour after getting hold of the antique mecha.
At that time, Su Xiaofan was not in a hurry to pass the level, but spent two full days playing on this level.
Antique mechas have the highest requirements for mecha masters to operate them.
Many actions of antique mechas even require the mecha master to use his own abilities to control the mecha, rather than feeding them back to the mecha's brain through nerve reflex elements.
Su Xiaofan discovered that his physical strength, which was slightly stronger than that of ordinary people, was not enough to break this level.
Su Xiaofan was not in a hurry. He just used his current physical strength to adapt to the mecha and became proficient in some control skills. It took him two days to pass the test.
At the next level, you are also controlling a mecha, but the model is a bit more advanced than the antique mecha, which was probably produced more than a hundred years ago.
The mechas at this level have a lot of technological elements added to them, and the physical requirements for the mecha masters have become much stronger.
In many mecha actions, if the body strength is not enough, it may even cause damage to the body.
Although it is just a game, the game device connected to neurons can really trigger pain in the body, so this level has discouraged many people who want to become mecha masters.
However, Su Xiaofan discovered that the so-called physical strength can actually be compensated for by using force-generating techniques.
Anyway, Su Xiaofan relied on extremely subtle operations to pass this level in two days.
After passing the third level, the title of trainee mecha master has been changed to junior mecha master, and the mecha at this time has also been replaced by the standard junior mecha in the empire.
A junior mecha master can choose his camp, which is divided into three camps, one is the Purple Blood Civilization, the other is the Human Civilization, and the third is the Pirate Group.
However, the current interstellar war game with human civilization has not yet been able to connect to the cosmic network. Human civilization and the pirate group are labeled as the villain camp in the game.
The vast majority of people naturally choose the purple-blood civilization camp, but there are also many who choose the two villain camps of the pirate group and human civilization. The interstellar war is fought between these three factions.
It took Su Xiaofan four or five days to get to the point of choosing a camp, while Lin Yifei and Mu Ge were already thriving in the game.
Mu Ge chose the pirate camp and trained with Amanda and the others for more than two months. Mu Ge also liked the characters of those pirates. The feeling of wandering in the starry sky all day made Mu Ge feel very good.
Lin Yifei chose the human camp. Although his purple-blooded bloodline had awakened, Lin Yifei had always regarded himself as human in the past few decades. Now that he had the opportunity to choose a camp, Lin Yifei naturally chose human.
Newcomers to the pirate camp are called rookie pirates after entering. The pirate group is a place where the weak and the strong prey on each other, and the game highlights this point.
A rookie pirate is qualified to challenge senior pirates with a higher title than him. The next level up is the pirate captain, and the highest level is the pirate leader, becoming the boss of a pirate group.
As for the human camp Lin Yifei chose, there were also levels when he first joined, such as private, corporal, sergeant, and staff sergeant.
The classification of the purple-blood civilization camp is similar to that of human civilization, and both refer to the classification system in the military.
However, unlike the pirate camp, in the human and purple-blood camps, there cannot be internal strife to challenge higher-level mecha masters.
Therefore, humans and the Purple Blood camp have a special point system. As long as the points are reached, you can automatically be promoted to military rank.
There are points for training and missions, but the reward with the highest points is for killing mecha masters from other camps, or destroying small battleships and players from other camps.
At this point in the game, almost all professions have appeared. As long as they are from non-camps, all of them can be killed. After killing, you can get different points depending on the target killed.
There is no charge to get started with Star Wars, but there are still many krypton gold projects in it.
For example, the more fashionable aircraft, the more dazzling clothes, and some eye-catching technological products can all dazzle people.
However, the game has a hard and fast rule, that is, krypton gold cannot be upgraded. At best, it can only enhance a little attribute, which will not destroy the balance of the game.
No matter what level of citizen you are, you are all equal in the game. Even if you are a member of the empire royal family who wants to play the game, you cannot change the game settings and can only follow the rules.
Su Xiaofan was more restrained in playing games and only entered the game cabin to play for a while every day. Fortunately, otherwise Old Homan and Amanda would not be able to land in the manor.
The assets of the Norman Empire are strongly protected by imperial laws. It is strictly forbidden to enter the private territory of others without their permission. Otherwise, they are qualified to kill them.
When Lin Yifei checked the manor's defense system a few days ago, he set the permission to enter the manor to only three of them. The rest of the people could not enter the manor without their consent.
"Homan, it seems that you are very satisfied with this harvest."
Su Xiaofan welcomed Homan and his son into the living room, and at the same time used his spiritual thoughts to awaken Lin Yifei, who was still in the game. After all, he was the nominal owner here.
"It's all thanks to Mr. Tosu."
The smile on Old Homan's face has never faded since he entered the manor.
"Amanda, are you here?"
Lin Yifei came in from the game cabin, "Where's Tina? Haven't you come out of the maintenance shop yet?"
Lin Yifei knew that the matter between himself and Tina could not be hidden from the two people in front of him, so he did not hide it and asked directly.
"That spaceship needs major modifications. It's estimated that Tina will have to stay there for a few months."
In addition to the need for overhaul of the power system, old Homann and Oguba also reached some private deals.
During the previous pursuit of pirates, there was a problem with the electromagnetic gun on a battleship stationed by the Empire on Mouton Planet. A small-scale explosion occurred, causing the electromagnetic gun to be completely destroyed.
The damaged electromagnetic gun will be installed on Old Hohmann's spaceship in a few days, which will take the spaceship's strength to a higher level.
"Can we go to the maintenance shop if we have nothing to do?"
Lin Yifei made a request casually, but in fact it was just his own request.
Su Xiaofan was not interested in going to the repair shop. After all, he had not even started to learn basic knowledge, and he could not understand anything when he went there.
As for Mu Ge, he is now a completely addicted teenager. Even Su Xiaofan has a hard time pulling him out of the game cabin.
"this……"
Hearing Lin Yifei's request, Amanda looked at her father with some embarrassment.
The spacecraft repair shop is one of the very important bases of the Amanda family and will not be open to the public at all.
In order to prevent the secrets of the spacecraft from being leaked, even most of the Amanda family cannot enter there.
"Okay, just ask Amanda to accompany you when you go."
Old Homan did not hide anything, he nodded and agreed directly.
In a sense, Lin Yifei is now a grasshopper in the same boat as the Amanda family.
If something happens to Amanda's family, Lin Yifei will definitely be implicated.
After all, Lin Yifei's transformation from citizenship to military merit to obtaining a title was basically handled by old Homan, and he had already imprinted the imprint of the Amanda family on him.
"No problem, I can do it anytime."
Amanda is very satisfied with her prospective brother-in-law, because Lin Yifei's status in the empire has surpassed him.
"You can't go now, Lin, I'm here to deliver something to you!"
Old Homan said: "I haven't been here for the past few days. Do you know where I have been?"
"have no idea."
Lin Yifei shook his head and asked cooperatively, "You didn't leave Mouton Star, did you?"
"That's right, I'm leaving Mouton."
Old Homan pointed to his chest proudly, "Haven't you seen it yet? This is a knighthood medal!"
Looking along where Old Homan pointed, Su Xiaofan and Lin Yifei found that Old Homan was wearing a medal on his chest.
However, Old Homan's showoff was obviously playing to the truth. Su Xiaofan and Lin Yifei had no idea what this medal was and what it represented in the Norman Empire.
"This is the Viscount Medal, which means that my father is now a true Imperial Viscount!"
Amanda couldn't stand the unfavorable behavior of Su Xiaofan and Lin Yifei.
You must know that the title of Viscount will most likely be passed on to him in the future, but now he is just wearing it on his father.
According to the regulations of the empire, the title of viscount can be passed down to three generations.
If no one in three generations has made contributions to the empire, the title of viscount after three generations will become a baron.
After three generations of barons, they will automatically be reduced to first-class citizens, so the imperial title is not static.
While the title provides great convenience to the nobles of the empire, it also urges them to contribute to the empire, otherwise they will be deprived of the title sooner or later.
As for the baronetcy obtained by Lin Yifei, it can also be passed down to three generations.
However, if no one from the Lin family can make new contributions among the three generations, they will be demoted to citizens.
"Lin, this is your knighthood medal!"
Old Homan solemnly took out a very delicate box from the box in his hand. After opening it, there was a medal made of unknown metal inside.
"Originally, this medal was supposed to be awarded to you by the chief executive of Mouton Star, but I took over the job."
Old Homan personally put the medal on Lin Yifei.
In fact, the medal is just a symbol, and the title has already appeared in Lin Yifei's personal intellectual data.
In the future, when Lin Yifei goes out to use the brain, others will naturally know his identity, and Lin Yifei can automatically enjoy the privileges corresponding to the baron.
Old Homan also meant to protect Lin Yifei by doing this.
Because he knew Lin Yifei's origins and didn't understand many of the empire's rules. If he appeared in front of the planet's commander, some flaws might be revealed.
As for Old Homan himself, the day before yesterday, he went to the planet where the imperial royal family was located, and was awarded the title of viscount by a prince of the empire himself.
The emperor of the empire has not been involved in politics for thirty years. It is said that he embarked on martial arts and wanted to seek a higher realm for the body-building skills of the purple-blooded people.
Fortunately, the empire's system is perfect. There is a parliament and a parliament. Many things can be carried out according to the system. The presence or absence of the emperor does not have a great impact on the empire.
"Congratulations, Viscount Lin Yifei!"
After putting the Baron Medal on Lin Yifei's head, he looked down at his Viscount Medal. Old Homan couldn't help laughing.
"Congratulations to Baron Hohmann!" Lin Yifei was very supportive this time and also complimented old Hohmann.
In fact, Lin Yifei and Su Xiaofan had similar ideas. They didn't care about this title at all. It was just a cover for their status in the Norman Empire.
"Lin, this is your business approval document!"
Old Homan took out another document bag, which contained several paper documents.
"With this trading company approval, you can engage in interstellar trade in the Norman Empire."
Old Homan handed the document bag to Lin Yifei, "But the space merchant ship still has personnel, you have to take care of it yourself. I can't support the crew for you at the moment."
After becoming a baron, Lin Yifei was automatically upgraded to a nobleman of the Norman Empire. He was qualified to engage in interstellar trade. It was not difficult to obtain the approval document.
But to set up a space trading company, you can't start trading just by getting approval.
First, Lin Yifei must have a space merchant ship that can engage in space voyages, and then he must have the crew and maintenance personnel to drive the merchant ship.
Secondly, Lin Yifei also needs to submit to the empire the type of trade he wants to engage in. Firstly, doing so will facilitate imperial supervision.
Secondly, after submitting the trade submission, the empire will list the goods it wants to trade on the interstellar bulk cargo trading platform.
In this way, Lin Yifei's space merchant ship does not need to contact the cargo owner in advance. After he arrives at the planet where he is going to trade, merchants from the planet will naturally contact Lin Yifei to conduct transactions.
Most of the trade transactions of the Purple Blood Civilization use this method. Such transactions are transparent and fair, and can prevent many ugly things.
"By the way, Lin, I can give you a hint."
Old Homan said: "With the title of baronet, you are eligible for a loan from the Imperial Bank. The Norman coins you can get from the loan should be enough for you to buy a space merchant ship."
It makes sense why everyone in the Norman Empire wanted to obtain a title. Becoming a noble with a title would naturally make you a privileged class.
For citizens, it is almost impossible to get a space merchant ship. Even a pirate family like Old Homan only has such a space ship to its name.
But as long as he became a noble, Old Homan could immediately expand his business territory.
With the guarantee of title, the Amanda family can now walk on two legs.
On the other hand, Old Homan continues to lead the gang of pirate boys and engage in piracy, a profession with ideals, beliefs and financial prospects.
On the other hand, Old Homan planned to form a real space merchant ship to conduct regular interstellar trade.
So this is also the reason why Old Homan cannot support Lin Yifei, because he is still trying to recruit crew members.
