Chapter 398: Recruitment and Rewards
Hearing they’d created a hundred billion Spiral Behemoths, Nash was dumbfounded.

It wasn’t difficult to create one, but the effort it required was no joke.

Furthermore, creating them over and over again was too monotonous. Even a month of continuous work would drive someone crazy, much less six months.

“How did you do it?” Nash asked in puzzlement.

He’d thought they would only manage to create one billion, or at least ten billion at most.

However, a hundred billion? He didn’t believe mere resources were enough to motivate everyone.

“Besides giving them a generous reward, we also made it a requirement for any team wanting to join the Star Alliance. We even awarded an entire resource point to the top producers.”

Perhaps among all their projects, the reward for building the Spiral Behemoth was the most cost-effective.

As a result, dozens of teams had advanced their shelters to level 4 without even joining the alliance.

Most were receptive about it, too, regarding the Behemoths as totems of hope, reminders of being saved before.

“You really are…” Nash trailed off, speechless.

From a generous salary to becoming a vital requirement for advancement, it’s no wonder they’d been so motivated.

“We had to do our best, Commander. If not for the lack of resources and time, we would’ve wanted to build more.”

Since no one was capable of building tier 4 and 5 war weapons from scratch, they could only look for alternatives.

The Spiral Behemoth wasn’t as strong, true. But with autonomous control from their Commander, it could become a force to be reckoned with.

The problem was whether Nash could even control such a large number of war weapons.

Thirty million tier 4 war weapons and a hundred billion Spiral Behemoths. Even with confidence in his ability, they still felt apprehensive.

“These are all the Spiral Behemoths and tier 4 war weapons, Commander.” They said, presenting him with a box of storage equipment.

That’s right, instead of just one storage equipment, he was given an entire box.

Looking at so many of them, Nash already had a headache.

Just uploading everything to the [Weapon Control Module System] was already a problem, much less the computational power he needed.

To control each Spiral Behemoth without any external intervention, he would need 10,000 computational power per unit.

Currently, he has only about a hundred billion soul power. Amplified by his runic space, it could reach a hundred trillion.

However, with a hundred billion Spiral Behemoths, he would need one quadrillion computational power.

That was already ten times what he currently had.

Unless he used the [Overlimit Module System], he couldn’t control all of them.

Coupled with the thirty million tier 4 war weapons that required one million computational power each, they’d basically created so much excess that it became a waste of resources.

Fortunately, while they couldn’t all be used simultaneously, the extra Spiral Behemoths could still serve as spares.

Nash could even be more aggressive to achieve higher efficiency and strength.

After collecting everything, Nash began asking about what developments the Star Alliance had made.

Their training, various buffs, armaments, livelihood, experimental results, resource storage, the list went on.

After talking for hours, they finally moved on to the next topic.

“In a few days, we’ll be leaving. Pack up everything you can and recruit everyone who wants to come.”

“Will the recruitment requirements still be the same as before? What about the rewards, Commander?”

Now, it wouldn’t just be a temporary recruitment but an indefinite one until the end of the competition.

Leaving their own teams to venture for their future, naturally, a reward of resources was no longer enough.

“The recruitment standard is the same as before, at least Void Venerate or a professional. As for the reward, we’ll ensure they have a high position in our team for the next advancement of the competition.”

There were two ways to pass the domain-level cosmic competition.

One: When the shelter reached level 4, they could quit, leaving the match early.

Two: Take the shelter to level 5 and advance with everyone, including their shelter.

For the former, although they technically passed the competition, they would lose their autonomy and shelter.

To move on to the next cosmic competition, they would need to rejoin other teams who’d passed with a level 5 shelter.

This process wouldn’t be up to them, but up to the teams that passed with their shelter intact.

Although they could reject the teams that wanted them, their veto power wasn’t particularly effective.

The only thing they could do was pass up the cosmic competition and hope for another chance in the future.

If one was lucky enough to join an open-minded team, then it was no problem. They could even develop greater strength with stronger backing.

However, typically, once someone joined another team, because of their different origin, all the dangerous and tiring work would be given to them.

It wasn’t that the teams were xenophobic, but simply because it was the ‘free labor’ they’d righteously earned.

Furthermore, why would they shoulder the difficult and dangerous tasks when there were others who could do it for them?

As for resisting or rebelling, it was certainly possible.

As long as one had enough strength, they could even occupy a team and make it their own.

This was also why, while top talents were sought after for recruitment, only the strongest teams really dared to touch them.

With the Star Alliance promising a good position for those who joined, it should be plenty enough to tempt them.

As long as their achievements were great enough, they could even become one of the leaders.

While their chances of promotion would be lower than those of the members of the Star Alliance, it would at least give everyone a chance.

“Then we’ll convey your intentions, Commander. We’ll make sure to have everyone join us.”

With over three thousand teams, even if they only attracted half of the Void Venerates, it would still be billions.

As for those Void Marshals, as long as all their hope of reaching a level 5 shelter was lost, they could only join to secure their future.
