[Congratulations to the Daxia Empire for becoming the first force to explore other galaxies! 】

As soon as this announcement came out, the chat channel exploded!

"Daxia is awesome! This speed is too fast."

"It's so funny, who said before that he would be the fastest? Are you being slapped in the face now?"

"It turns out the system still remembers us. I didn't know but I thought we were playing solo."

"666666, this one named Daxia is fine. I've never seen him make a fuss before. He just opened up the galaxy without making any noise."

"I'm envious. I can only eat lemons. I just hope this big guy won't be next to me, otherwise I will definitely be dead."

.........

Messages keep scrolling.

A man looked at the chat channel and sighed, "Unfortunately, it's still a step too slow."

"But this person's galaxy is actually so rich? Can't even keep up with me?"

In the huge palace, he sat on the throne, with two rows of knights standing below, guarding this man as loyally as in the Middle Ages.

Logan, the ruler of the Dragon Castle Empire, is also the one who everyone calls the dragon in the galaxy.

The galaxy he is in is a binary star system, with two stars pulling each other in the middle.

Not far from the main star, a giant dragon is sleeping in space. It hangs in space like a satellite.

At the beginning, he was indeed a little uneasy. The giant dragon was almost 1 kilometer in size, and there was a high probability that it could not be defeated by his five frigates alone.

But surprisingly, the dragon had no ill intentions towards his development, and just slept silently. Logan also tried sending a ship to scan, but received unclear information, so he could only give up temporarily.

What is surprising is that there are a lot of mineral deposits on the colonized planet. Logan received an income of 2,000 minerals at the beginning. If he continues to mine, he will get a lot of minerals.

"If your guess is correct, this planet should be related to that giant dragon."

Through exploration, Logan learned that there are many murals about dragons on the main planet. Perhaps when technology develops to a certain extent, communication with the giant dragon may be possible.

"Daxia will definitely be a strong enemy in the future. I must hurry up and expand the galaxy."

Logan looked at his star map interface. With sufficient resources, he had already built two exploration ships to explore nearby galaxies.

This speed is considered fast enough, but I didn't expect anyone to be faster than him.

Two hours after the system first announced it.

Logan's engineering ship finally established star bases in other galaxies.

Subsequently, the system announcement was issued again.

[Congratulations to the Dragon Castle Empire for becoming the second force to explore other galaxies! 】

[Reputation +500, plus a fifty-day daily resource output reward]

Even though the Dragon Castle Empire was rich in resources, Logan was inevitably excited when he saw the rewards.

Although many resources are only a dozen points a day, the output of minerals from his main star has reached 160 units, which is a profit of 8,000 in these fifty days.

How not to make him excited.

While Logan was excited, he also began to check out the new reputation system.

And just the next minute the second system announcement was issued.

Another announcement came out.

[Congratulations to the Hawke Empire for becoming the third force to explore other galaxies! 】

If there are no accidents, the system announcement will only be issued to the top three, and there will probably not be any more in the future.

But many people are still amazed and envious of these top empires, and the number of messages in the chat channel has skyrocketed again.

They all lamented the gap between them.

But Hawke didn't think so.

On the main planet of the Hawke Empire.

The cities here also look advanced in the future, but there is always lingering smog in the sky.

"Damn it, I asked you to speed up the progress. It doesn't matter if I'm not the first one to open up the galaxy. I actually gave up the second place to someone else?!"

The man looked at the Star Governor in front of him with evil eyes, and there was some resentment in his tone.

The Star Governor of the Hawke Empire is a bespectacled man in a suit named Gilt. He dare not make a sound at this moment, and a little cold sweat is flowing down his forehead.

"Speak! Are you mute!!?"

Hawke shouted angrily again, and Gilt shook his body and said helplessly: "We have worked very hard to speed up the progress."

"It's just that during this period, excessive working hours have added to many problems. Our consumer goods cannot be supplied, and various facilities have stopped operating from time to time."

"Long-term overtime work in the mining area makes workers miserable, but corresponding benefits cannot be provided due to the stagnation of production facilities."

Gilt put in another piece of data.

"Our resource returns have been swinging between positive and negative because of the massive expansion plans up front."

"If this continues, I'm afraid the stability will fall below 60%..."

Hawke raised his hand to interrupt him.

"You don't need to talk to me about these issues. What I want is the result. In this situation, I really don't know how you became the Star Governor."

"If you can't improve the stability next time, you might as well stop doing it!"

Gilt fell silent for a moment and sighed helplessly.

Hawke snorted and closed the communication interface directly.

"A bunch of losers, how can they stand firm in the interstellar world if they don't do this?"

After looking at various data in the empire, Hawke said unhappily: "After all, they are still too idle. According to me, they should be allowed to work 12 hours a day, so that they have no time to think and make noises all day long."

The third place reward is twenty days of resource gains, which is not much, and the reputation is only 200.

Hawke opened the reputation system and began to study the use of this thing.

Within the Daxia galaxy.

Chu Hua is also learning about the reputation system.

He also glanced at the second and third place announcements about the rapid progress in opening up the galaxy, once again lamented everyone's speed, and once again reminded himself not to relax.

After finishing the project arrangements in one go, he had time to check out the new reputation system.

Five minutes later, Chu Hua finally understood the use of the reputation system.

simply put.

The reputation system represents the empire's reputation in the interstellar world, and can also be said to be good or evil.

Behavior in future diplomacy determines the gain and loss of reputation.

And there are different rewards and penalties for high and low reputation.

In the simplest terms, empires with high reputation can enjoy the benefit of reduced handling fees by using the Galaxy Market.

On the contrary, if the reputation is negative, it will increase the handling fee, and the lower the reputation, the higher the handling fee.

When Chu Hua opened the Galaxy Market, he could see that his handling fee was only 15%, which was a 5% reduction from the previous 20%.

In large order transactions, it is a relatively large reduction.

This is also the reason why Chu Hua has never used the Galaxy Market. In addition to his own sufficient resources, the handling fees are also very distressing.

"What's even more embarrassing is that there are still two-way charges. I'm crazy to use this market."

Chu Hua shook his head and closed the Galaxy Market in disgust.

40% less after one visit.

If there were really people running the Galaxy Market, there wouldn't be enough street lights in the Galaxy.
