Star Citizen Online: Isekai Edition

Chapter 34: Usage of Wealth



Obscurus, Master Chambers.

After he finished training with his newly obtained Psyker Ability, Arcturus was rather tired from the entire endeavor. Even though it went well, Dimensioon Emyprean was, in the end, Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability, so even this bit of training left a great strain on his mind.

Something that he couldn't really ignore. Thus, he decided to rest in his personal chambers for the time being. During the time he was at the Starfort Lycurgos, Red Queen Alice already replenished the goods on the ship.

Now, he had several kinds of alcohol and cigars, together with some luxurious foods, which could be easily bought with Universal Credits. Obviously, these were just ordinary products with no added value, or else they wouldn't cost almost anything.

"Alice, how would Obscurus be classified as a spaceship across the universe?"

Arcturus sat down on the leather sofa as he poured himself a local alcoholic drink that he had bought at the Lycurgos Starfort. It was rather reminiscing of him of the scotch in the consistency, color, and taste a bit.

<According to my calculations, in its current state, the Obscurus could be considered a ship with peak Type 2 technology, even though some parts of it are built with Type 3 technology. The main problem is that the ship is largely incomplete, and many secondary and auxiliary systems are missing partially or some in their entirety.>

He was aware that there were certain problematic aspects with the Obscurus, because the ship was incomplete as he was unfortunately unable to finish the ship within the game.

"What are you suggesting we should start with... with the budget of, let's say, half a million Universal Credits, the remaining half I plan to invest into my own evolution and progress."

Arcturus didn't really plan to hoard money right now because he needed to invest as much as possible into himself to upgrade his strength. The stronger he got, the more dangerous and better-paid missions he could undertake or go after high-profile bounties.

And in turn, he would once again obtain more and more money. He was aware that this reality was dangerous as shit, there were people with superpowers capable to obliterating entire planets apparently according to what was on the Extranet and Imperial Netshpehere.

He could only pray to his lucky star that he appeared in a region where there were not many powerful people residing, or else, he would probably be killed, or even something worse than death could have happened to him.

<I would suggest upgrading to the newest model of the Void Shield Generators. The current Void Shield Generators are far inferior to the standards we have for the weapon armaments that are already on the Type 3 technology level.>

Hearing this, his head almost hurt because this would be expensive. When he was playing Star Citizen Online and building the spaceship, he preferred to have the offensive power as high as possible, so he a bit neglected the defensive capabilities of the starship.

"The Void Shield Generators should take priority above everything else; while the hull of the ship is thick enough to withstand the firepower of our own weapons, the shields would crumble upon more advanced weaponry of Type 3 technological tree... anything else?"

<Aside from that, the ship needs an Advanced Navigation System, Power Plant Station, Advanced Sensor Systems, and some materials for the adjustments to build a proper Mining Station and Processing Station within the ship so we can mine and process minerals, spaceships, or anything that is of any value.>

And the other things that the Red Queen was putting forth, were not even a bit cheaper, but all of it was currently missing. Right now, Obscurus had only some basic technologies for these things, while Red Queen was basically doing what she could to push them to the maximum.

<Right now, a lot of my computing capabilities are filled with doing the work for the inferior equipment on the Obscurus. If more advanced Navigation Systems and Sensor Systems are installed onto the ship, together with some upgrades on the Central Mainframe, my computing capabilities would be freed and enhanced by approximately 56%.>

This was a tremendous number, considering the current computing capabilities of the Red Queen, but unfortunately, she was forced to work with inferior hardware and make up for the deficiencies in some of the systems...

"Would the half million Universal Credits be enough to buy the things that we need?"

Arcturus wanted to save the other 500,000 Universe Credits for different purposes, mainly to buy things to enhance his physique, to advance his Psyker Grade a bit, or to expand properly the Psionic Energy Realm of the Dimension Empyrean.

This would obviously cost a tremendous fortune because these things were not exactly cheap. He wanted to get his hands on the high-end gene-enhancing serums, which cost tens of thousands of Universal Credits even for the lowest grade of them.

<Most probably... I have calculated everything very well, though there is a certain probability of the materials costing more depending on the current state of the market.>

He took that into consideration, though he hoped to obtain the gene-enhancing gene serums at a good price, possibly using some channels of the Imperium for the Asuryani Highborne.

"We will solve this when we return back to the Lycurgos."

He decided to procure the materials when he was back in the Imperial Territory, perhaps betting on his identity as the Asuryani Highborne to obtain them at the chapter rate. He predicted that they would be soon enough arriving back at the Imperial Space.

<As you wish, master... approximate time of the arrival at the Lycurgos is several days; I have noticed that are some spatial disturbances along the calculated way...>

Arcturus knew what the spatial disturbances meant; it seemed that his way home would take longer.

The spatial disturbances could have several reasons; it was nigh impossible to tell beforehand for them right now, though right now, he could only hope that it wouldn't be something disastrous.
