The average gains were low—and the risks were high.
Wang Dong, however, had an auxiliary system. His frequency of entering the Hyperspace Battlefield with the Battle Axe would be far greater than that of an ordinary Spark Warship.
A typical Spark Warship entered the Hyperspace Battlefield no more than twice a year on average, due to the difficulty of capturing Hyperspace signals.
Wang Dong was different.
By timing the one-month cooldown period of the Shipborne Fire Seed, Wang Dong could enter the Hyperspace Battlefield twelve times a year!
That was six times the average.
Such was the ruthless efficiency of having an auxiliary system.
Of course, this Hyperspace Battlefield run hadn't been perfect.
If not for the Battle Axe's paltry 25% Source Point conversion rate, the "Remaining Source Points" value should have been 7456!
Most of the Battle Axe's Source Points this time came from the elimination of Yatai Civilization members.
For every ten thousand civilians killed, 1 Source Point was granted.
Given the 25% conversion rate, gaining 1681 Source Points meant that Wang Dong had caused the deaths of around 70 million people in this resource-rich star system of over 10 billion inhabitants.
Not even 1% of the total population!
The main reason, of course, was that the Battle Axe didn't have any large-scale weapons of mass destruction, and its ammunition reserves were critically limited.
Even with such an "ultra-lucky" encounter, he couldn't fully capitalize on it.
Still, Wang Dong was satisfied overall.
Hardware limitations were just objective facts.
After all, who would have expected that his very first Hyperspace Battlefield after rebirth would land him such a huge jackpot?
No shame in missing out—Wang Dong let it go easily.
As long as he could stay alive and keep "grinding," Wang Dong didn't think he'd ever lack for Source Points in the future.
Besides, the Source Points he had planned to accumulate over several Hyperspace runs just to afford a name change fee—he had now earned all at once. That alone was a huge and unexpected bonus.
"Now, it's time to deal with the current problem."
Step one: change the name of the Battle Axe.
He linked to the Shipborne Fire Seed and selected the option to re-inscribe the Battleship name.
It went smoothly. The command was accepted.
"Please enter the new name for the Battleship."
"Dawn," Wang Dong said with ambition.
Dawn—it symbolized rebirth and hope.
"Sorry, the name you entered is already taken."
"Aurora," Wang Dong frowned slightly.
"Sorry, the name you entered exceeds the maximum length allowed for destroyer-class vessels."
Wang Dong: …
He had almost forgotten—destroyers, being the most basic class of Spark Warship, were indeed discriminated against in certain ways.
…
Seven or eight more names were rejected.
"Eagle!" Wang Dong snapped in frustration.
"Sorry, the name you entered is already taken."
…
After wracking his brain and trying more than ten names—
"White Crane…" Wang Dong mumbled in defeat.
"Sorry, the name you entered is already taken."
Wang Dong: "囧…"
Only now did Wang Dong realize why so many Spark Warships he'd encountered—like Yuan Shu's "Battle Axe" or the Jin Family's "Scimitar," "Dagger," "Longblade," "Broadsword"—all had such uninspired names.
This wasn't a novel. Background characters could have any name, but in reality, every Spark Warship was the treasure of its captain.
And someone capable of becoming a captain was never an average person.
Of course they'd put great care into choosing a name for their Battleship.
The reason so many ended up with names like "Battle Axe" and "Short Knife" was because all the good ones had already been taken by previous generations.
After tens of thousands of years, with countless Spark Warships built by human civilization, the pool of decent names was already exhausted.
Later generations could only lower their standards again and again. By the time it was Wang Dong's turn, even names like "Little Eagle" and "Gray Crane" were no longer available.
Wang Dong never expected that the name selection process would hold him up for more than an hour.
After countless attempts, his brain felt like mush. The words coming from his mouth were just subconscious mutterings now.
"Pond…" Wang Dong murmured weakly.
"Sorry, the name you entered is already taken."
"…Pond."
"Pond. Name not in use. Confirm?"
"Bathtub—wait, it's not taken?!"
Wang Dong suddenly snapped to attention.
"Bathtub. Name not in use. Confirm?"
"No no no."
Wang Dong rejected it immediately.
"Pond" was already bad enough—no way he'd name it "Bathtub"!
"…Pond."
Wang Dong repeated carefully.
"Pond. Name not in use. Confirm?"
"Confirm!"
Wang Dong had run out of patience.
Pond it is. At least it sounds one notch above "Bathtub."
"This operation will consume 1000 Source Points. Confirm?"
"Confirm."
He replied without hesitation.
"Dear Captain, the Battleship formerly known as Battle Axe has been successfully renamed to Pond. This change has been logged in the ship's navigation records. Any further name change will require 2000 Source Points."
"Phew, finally done."
Wang Dong pressed his palm to his forehead, deeply relieved.
