Chapter 608: Mission Board Module
As Torr, Tathia, and Julius put in various tasks they thought could help the Neon Star Alliance, a surge of them appeared on the Mission Board Module.
Looking at the tasks, the working-class people, the civilians, and idle laborers went into an uproar.
Scrolling through the dazzling list of tasks and rewards, they felt their time to get rich had come.
Filtering by planet, distance, strength, and ability requirement, they easily found work to do.
What surprised them was how intuitive the module was.
After accepting a task, it would guide them to the work, who to follow, and what to do.
As long as they had a little ability, were diligent, and honest, doing the tasks was a breeze.
The payment also came right in.
Once they finished a section of a road, they would be asked to scan their work and evaluate it.
If it passed, soul points would immediately deposit into their soul savings; if not, they would redo the entire thing and pay for the loss.
This quickly stopped those who took work just for the sake of money.
With strict and immediate evaluation, no one dared to be careless.
Whether it was as little as farming, pipe laying, electrical work, construction, or such, they would only pick tasks they were confident they could finish.
Besides taking a task, they also noticed they could post one.
Of course, as it was a private task, they would have to pay the reward themselves.
Based on the analyzed reward, they could increase it to gain more exposure.
Unable to pay, they could only take a task one after another, earn soul points, train, practice their skill, and take on more advanced tasks.

While the civilians were in a state of excitement, the cosmic elites were in a frenzy.
Previously, because it was too expensive to provide a buff to everyone, only the leaders and top talent had one.
Thus, when the buff module appeared, everyone cheered in delight.
Unfortunately, seeing the price to maintain it, they quickly wailed thereafter.
Fortunately, as cosmic elites, they had a bit of subsidy; coupled with their strength, they could still maintain 2–3 buffs that hastened their training.
Initially, they thought everything would stay the same.
However, with the appearance of the mission board, everyone saw hope.
If they worked hard enough, maintaining 7–10 buffs was possible.
As long as they didn’t raise a buff to level 3, it only cost a few billion soul points to maintain!
Looking at the dazzling list of tasks, they noticed something odd.
Besides the regular tasks where they needed to work and produce, there were also passive tasks that required only achieving something.
For every breakthrough of realm they would be rewarded.
For every skill they mastered, they would be rewarded.
For every child they had, they would be rewarded.
For every professional assessment passed, they would be rewarded.
Seeing all kinds of ways they could earn points, they felt emotional.
Their leaders really tried their best so they would not be short of money.

On the other side, at the edge of the Sun Star Void Area, those who hadn’t uploaded the runic system could only look with envy.
Because of the limited capacity of the runic system, it was later regulated.
The available spots could only be given to those who were more talented, stronger, higher in position, or who had made significant contributions.
Of course, to avoid a massive gap, those without the runic system were given a subsidy.
This subsidy was not only enough for them to live on, but also extra for their training.
Although less than what one could get with the convenience of the runic system, it was still a lot.
Furthermore, once they were eligible to upload the runic system, they would be given a lump sum of soul points based on time and their strength.
Meaning, if they received the runic system three years later, they would be given three years’ worth of soul points that could be extracted by their current realm.
Upon hearing this rule, those who had received the runic system in advance were filled with envy.
If they could have the runic system at tier 2 or 3, how much wealth could they save?
Of course, that was just what they had in mind; in reality, they wouldn’t exchange any wealth to have the runic system any later.
Wealth could be earned, but the opportunities it brought were priceless.
Just the training module and buff module could already push them higher than the money they might earn.

Soon, with everything proceeding in an orderly manner, peace returned to the Sun Star Void Area.
What’s different is that everyone was progressing at an accelerated pace.
From building, production, and training, everyone felt they had divine guidance.
With Atom vetting everyone in a micro manner, even the most insignificant individual was not left behind.
As a result, everyone was united like pieces of a cog in a machine.
While traveling in the wild void, the Neon Star Alliance also encountered other teams.
In this scenario, they had two choices: one was to drive off the enemy before they got close; the other was to invite them into the alliance.
If they were unstable with a lot of friction and hostility, they could only drive them away as far as possible.
However, if they were tamable and submissive, the Neon Star Alliance would welcome them with open arms.
Even if they were weak with only a tier 5 shelter, they held no discrimination.
Their goal wasn’t the powerhouse, the scientists, or the resources behind them, but the people.
The more people there are, the faster the growth of the power of will would be.
As for betrayal, after merging with the main shelter of the Neon Star Alliance, Tsuka, there were not many things they could do.
Furthermore, with Atom watching over the whole Sun Star Void Area through the virtual world and runic system, even an inconspicuous ant wouldn’t be able to stray off its track.
With such a guarantee, every rank 2 and 3 leader of the Neon Star Alliance went about recruiting various cosmic teams.
Whether they’re from the Chronos Empire or other cosmic territory, everyone is welcome.
As a result, in just a short few months, the number of teams in the Sun Star Void Area doubled.
