Yes , with plenty to spare.
And 300 ?
Also , you can even buy the complete education course and still have enough but I would refrain from big acquisitions for a while after that one.
Ok Da’grass if you would do the honours and buy it in the name of the state.
It’s done Alex .
These are 300 tier 2 city cores , this is preposterous !
They are used as capitals for high standing societies and you spread them like cabbage!
“A tier 3 city can only buy tier 2 city cores anything less is not up to standard” said Da’grass against El’Anor .
“Is it the same with the complete education course ?” asked Alex .
Unlike the name suggests it is not complete but it covers the education well within the interstellar age and yes the education package is tier 3.
“So professors and scientists may be going back to school just to satisfy their curiosity alone” Alex thought out loud.
That might just well be the case , young master .
You know , most people wouldn’t have parted with their credits like you did .
Things are cheaper if you just buy it for yourself instead of government owned except in cases like technological schematics for example.
That was a mighty good deed you did , you gave your people the gift of free knowledge and a place to call home here in the Nexus.
“He is right you know” said El’Anor , I never met anyone that donated to the state on that scale.
Most people would keep their credits in their own account and spend it on themself or their children.
“Yeah , you rock” said Cathy and continued browsing the government core.
She reminds me of a typical internet addict thought Alex and smiled.
What are you smiling about asked El’Anor.
Oh nothing special , I just realized that we’ll be getting along just fine .
Let’s talk a bit of what I expect you guy’s to do and about your future plans here.
After talking for hours with El’Anor , Cathy and Da’grass interjecting sometimes Alex realized it was going to be a steep learning curve for maximizing the worth of credits.
The same products could have different prices depending on the way they were obtained and the most common were trough the Nexus , trade and natural way.
If an inhabitant uploaded a scan to the Nexus, it would be state-owned. However, the government would only earn the full amount if the uploader was dead.
As long as the person was alive, they would earn with every transaction on a universal scale, and the state would receive a 25 percent tax on their income.
But the state could only trade , while it would be cheaper than buying from the Nexus it was more of a hassle with all the travel and negotiating and you couldn’t sell to other species what you bought yourself.
And if you dared to give up on your location you could even trade in reality but it was always a risk for receiving a war fleet determined to conquer you instead of the intended merchant fleet.

Luckily only the head of state could give up the location because it would become garbled the moment Nexus detected it.
Inhabitants couldn’t sell state owned items unless they were a government licensed company and they had a standard contract that deposited a fixed percentage to the state .
The city planning was going to take a while but the government core had tools to help them with that , after the city was designed the actual purchase would be happening.
But they had to first look over the available buildings and options before starting to design it.
Cathy insisted that there would be several game developer studios for her people including bars and restaurants.
El’Anor asked if her people could be in charge of wildlife and nature activities if they wished so , otherwise they were content with the same job opportunities as the rest of us.
I learned that they still had their account and credits but that they were hoping on buying lifetime residences with it once the building started.
A residence also had a core were you could buy at the mall , login to your favourite game , listen to music , etc.
If you wanted to do that without a residence you needed to buy an option that was visualized as a bracelet on your wrist but for that you needed a core .
And a core was a basic setting that you could upgrade
This was all new to me and I had to adapt , I was young and flexible but feared for the old.
Helena and Sam would love to be a part of this all if they knew.
Thinking about them he decided to log out.
See you later , remember that the priority is New Eden so for the moment no spending money on state owned games Cathy !
El’Anor I entrust you with the city , get the help you need that goes for you too Cathy.
And Alex was gone.
“What do you think of him?” asked El’Anor
He’s a good guy and friendly , a little naïve spending his credits like that but it should give his species a good start in the Nexus.
They’ll have to adapt drastically and won’t do it without a fight but that’s seen on many planets.
Their wildlife here is primary primordial , it suggests a dangerous planet but according the data I found the most dangerous being on their planet should be humans themselves.
Maybe that’s the reason why he got a tier 3 Capital city core ?
Either way don’t expect the rest of the humans to be like him , most would have picked a monarchy instead of a technocracy or worse…
The 4 vr games are a good pick to develop a technologically challenged society and releasing frustration but there are many good games out there… bad ones too.
To bad he forbade me to pick up a few good ones , I’ve seen their collection of games they won’t know what is happening to them when they see the possibilities.
What do you think about him and his species ? said Cathy to El’Anor.
The moment you said that this was a tier 3 city it was like a was looking in the eyes of a monster.
And when his assistant spoke the ground beneath me gave away.
But I think your right , we hit the jackpot being adopted by this species to bad they are not as advanced as it should be.
This city makes it worth though , looking at the buildings available.
And there is plenty of room to expand while the other cities will be at least tier 2 .
Credits wise we’ll be good to construct a beautiful and fully functional Capital city if these taxes come in for a few more day’s .
He must have uploaded a planets worth of data in the Nexus , if they got more this must be a rich planet for their technological era .
Introductions
Alex woke up hearing the birds singing outside his window.
How long was I inside Da’grass ?
A little less than 9 hours real time and a bit short of 2 day’s inside , Alex .
Why don’t I feel tired ?
You were sleeping and thanks to being optimized you can go longer without sleep , if you let me you can even go without sleep at all .
I can cleanse the toxins out of your brain and repair damage caused by intensive activities without breaking a sweat.
You’ll only feel tired if your continuous moving around without resting your body.
Can you do the same to Helena and Sam ?
You’ve got a level 3 clearance so yes but I can’t control the nanites if they are not in close proximity of me , you are my priority !
Can they enter the Nexus with me ?
Yes but only if they are near you .
You think it would be wise to share my existence with them ?
I want them to have a head start and to share this world of possibilities with them they are my best friends , I know them since kindergarten.
If I can’t trust them who can I trust …
And I don’t want to do this alone.
How long would it take to develop the plans I got as my welcome package from the Nexus ?
It depends on your plans , do you wish to start your own company so you can earn money out of it or do you wish to gift it to a company ?
You also can apply for a patent and earn a lot of money while they do the work but your name will be known to all.
It sounds like a lot of work to manage a company and I’ve got you to earn me money on the stock market.
I also want to keep a low profile and don’t want to answer all the questions they would have…
So let’s say I gift it to all companies who are capable of producing this , how long would it take ?
