"This was originally the second Executive Officer's room, but since I only have one Executive Officer, and I thought about bringing you back this ti, it's been empty all along.
You'll stay here for the next few days." Zhao Chen carried his sister's luggage and pointed at the single-person Executive Officer's room before them.
"Not bad at all." Zhao Wan'er surveyed the room.
"How are you going to handle your Starship?" Zhao Chen asked.
Zhao Wan'er was a fourth-year student and had her own exclusive Starship.
"Senior Su Lan has a long-term rental berth at the Starport. She's going ho during the break, so I'll just park my Starship in her berth.
My crew are all academy students, and I've already given them leave." Zhao Wan'er said as she sat on the bed.
"If I rember correctly, your Starship is a T2 Fire Crow-class heavy Interstellar Battlecruiser." Zhao Chen recalled.
Zhao Wan'er nodded.
When Zhao Wan'er chose her fourth-year Starship, she faced the sa situation as Zhao Chen: no funds, so she could only pick from the academy's Starship warehouse.
But fortunately, because Zhao Wan'er was an honors student, the academy gave her special treatnt and prepared this T2 Fire Crow-class heavy Interstellar Battlecruiser, even though it was a second-hand ship with thirty years of service.
But it was definitely considered a top-tier product among T2 Starships.
Coupled with Zhao Wan'er's reputation as an honors student, students from other departnts naturally flocked to join her Starship, but considering salary and benefits, Zhao Wan'er only recruited civilian students.
"The T2 Fire Crow-class heavy Interstellar Battlecruiser is good, but it's an old ship. In the future, I'll get you a new one!" Zhao Chen muttered.
Zhao Wan'er rolled her eyes: "A new ship? Forget it. Don't think you can show off just because you squeezed 500,000 star coins out of Zhang Haoran.
500,000 star coins aren't even enough for a fraction of a T2 Starship."
Zhao Chen smiled without speaking. He didn't tell Zhao Wan'er that he had completed another deal by selling the Starship technology of the t1 wolf louse-class dium interstellar destroyer, netting him a full three million star coins!
Besides, he didn't plan to buy a Starship.
He had his own system with a ton of Starship technologies. Why not build one himself? Why buy one?
"Look at you, you have to trust ! Just tell what ship type you want, and I'll arrange it before the end of the year!" Zhao Chen waved his hand, acting casually.
Zhao Wan'er chuckled: "If you're so capable, get an Aircraft Carrier Starship."
The Aircraft Carrier Starship is the most expensive of all ship types, without exception!
Because it carries a large number of Interstellar Fighters and Interstellar Drones, and the combination of the two is extrely costly.
Zhao Chen curled his lips: You've hit the jackpot.
"No problem, it's just an Aircraft Carrier Starship. I'll arrange it for you! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" Zhao Chen said with a grin.
"You're just bragging." Zhao Wan'er naturally didn't believe Zhao Chen.
After all, even a light T2 Aircraft Carrier Starship costs no less than ten million star coins!
"Alright, after you tidy up, we'll go eat." Zhao Chen walked to the door.
After waiting a while for Zhao Wan'er, the two headed to the Starship ss Hall together.
When they reached the corridor outside the Starship ss Hall, Zhao Wan'er sniffed: "I think I sll sothing fragrant."
Zhao Chen smiled but said nothing.
"By the way, I noticed your Half-Beastman female crew mbers seem a bit different from before... but... I can't quite put my finger on it..." Zhao Wan'er looked at Zhao Chen suspiciously: "You haven't done anything to those Half-Beastman female crew mbers, have you?"
Zhao Chen tapped Zhao Wan'er on the head: "You little girl, what are you daydreaming about!"
Zhao Wan'er stuck out her tongue and blinked at Zhao Chen.
She realized that her relationship with Zhao Chen had changed a lot recently. The old Zhao Chen wouldn't dare touch her head and would always be restrained around her, as if she were the older sister and he the younger brother.
The two walked into the ss hall while chatting, and at that mont, Zhao Wan'er stopped in her tracks, staring in shock at the scene before her.
Steaming noodles, fragrant bread, fluffy white stead buns, and at pieces exuding rich aromas.
There was even a white, crescent-shaped food—the legendary dumplings!
"This is your Starship ss Hall?" Zhao Wan'er was dumbfounded.
"Of course. Co here and order." Zhao Chen pointed at Zhao Wan'er behind him and said to the cook at the counter: "Put hers on my tab."
"Captain... you don't need to swipe..." the cook said with a strange expression.
According to the rules Zhao Chen had set, he himself had a al standard when dining in the Starship ss Hall.
But because he was the captain, his al standard was three tis that of an ordinary female crew mber!
And so officer-level female crew mbers naturally had a higher al standard than ordinary ones.
This hierarchical division was also ant to motivate the female crew mbers; those who perford well could be promoted and enjoy better al standards.
It was a kind of incentive policy.
"Follow the rules." Zhao Chen then began to order: "I'll have the pork and cabbage dumplings."
More than half of the nu here was created by Zhao Chen, so quite a few Chinese dishes were available.
Dumplings, in fact, were quite famous in this world, rumored to be an ancient dish from a blue planet.
But due to the high cost of natural ingredients, this dish gradually beca a noble's delicacy and a legend in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Order quickly. There are people waiting in line behind you." Zhao Chen urged the stunned Zhao Wan'er.
Zhao Wan'er hastily glanced around and ordered a bowl of Yu Xiang Rou Si (Fish-Fragrant Shredded Pork) over rice.
Then a hovering robot scanned Zhao Chen's face.
That counted as 'paynt'.
"Please wait at your seat; a robot will deliver the food." the cook said.
Zhao Chen and Zhao Wan'er found an empty seat and sat down.
"What's going on? Are these all natural ingredients?" Zhao Wan'er asked, staring at Zhao Chen as soon as she sat down.
Zhao Chen nodded: "Yes."
Zhao Wan'er pointed at the holographic electronic nu on the counter: "Can ordinary crew mbers order those foods?"
"Everyone has their own al standard, as long as they don't exceed it or waste."
"What is the al standard for ordinary crew mbers?"
"0.3 star coins per day, no more than 10 star coins per month."
"10 star coins?" Zhao Wan'er shrieked, startling the people eating around her. She quickly lowered her voice and said, "Are you crazy! 10 star coins!
Even the noble guard fleets of our Starlight Empire don't have such a high al standard! I set my crew's al standard at only 0.05 star coins per day!"
"Just because they don't have it high doesn't an I can't set it high. This is my Starship, and I'll set it however I want." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Zhao Wan'er covered her face: "You... don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have those 500,000 star coins. If you keep this up, sothing will happen sooner or later."
"We'll deal with it when sothing happens." Zhao Chen shrugged.
At that mont, their als arrived.
Fragrant pork and cabbage dumplings and Yu Xiang Rou Si over rice.
Faced with the delicious food, Zhao Wan'er gave up arguing with Zhao Chen and ate, a look of happiness on her face.
After the al.
Just as Zhao Wan'er was about to continue 'educating' Zhao Chen,
her handheld terminal rang—a notification for a short ssage.
Zhao Wan'er opened it and her expression changed drastically.
"Oh no, sothing happened in the Owl Dragon Star System!"
The Owl Dragon Star System was Zhao Chen's territory.
"What happened?" Zhao Chen asked.
Zhao Wan'er projected the short ssage as a hologram: "This is from my sister's trusted contact in the Xiaolong Star."
'Soone in the Owl Dragon Star System is colluding with external enemies, plotting to assassinate the Zhao family! Second Young Master and Third Miss must not return!'
