Chapter 8: Space Adventurer! Chapter 24 Adventurer Assessment!
Golden Flame Star!
This is an extremely important commercial planet of the Blood Peak Empire. It is located at the junction of the six primary civilizations in the universe, including the Galactic Empire, the Shia Empire, and the Blue Face Empire. It is a strategic fortress for the Blood Peak Empire to deter the six primary civilizations in the universe.
In the dark starry sky, ripples suddenly appeared in space, and a silver-white flying saucer-shaped spaceship suddenly appeared.
"Is that the Golden Flame Star? So beautiful!"
Zenkavasa looked at the magnificent planet in the light curtain and couldn't help but exclaimed.
This planet has nine huge and brilliant star rings.
The outermost star ring is golden red in color, like a circle of burning golden red flame.
The other eight star rings are gold, red, blue, and so on.
From afar, the Golden Flame Star, surrounded by nine huge star rings, looks extremely spectacular.
“It’s spectacular!”
Chu Zhou, Long, and Thor also nodded.
It was the first time for them to see such a beautiful planet.
"According to the information found in the Mirror Universe Network, this Golden Flame Star is a planet of extremely important strategic importance to the Blood Peak Empire. It is a strategic fortress that intimidates the surrounding six empires, including the Galactic Empire. There is a Blood Peak Legion stationed on this planet."
Long said.
In conversation.
The Blood Peak spacecraft has approached the Golden Flame Star.
Chu Zhou and others were standing in the control room of the Xuefeng spacecraft. In front of them was a virtual exterior scene. They could clearly see the spacecraft approaching the Jinyan Star and was about to touch the atmosphere.
The atmosphere of Jinyan Star is very peculiar and can be clearly seen with the naked eye...air masses of various colors flow slowly, making the entire planet look extremely gorgeous from the outside.
"drop!"
"Towing signal received. The spacecraft will follow the towing signal and arrive at the planet's docking port."
A deep blue prompt appeared on the light screen.
When a spaceship arrives at a planet, it is absolutely impossible to let the spaceship fly around randomly. It must enter the docking port!
Of course...if you are strong enough, you can just use force.
For an advanced planet like Jinyan Star, it is estimated that only the Realm Master can ignore the traction signal and fly directly into the planet.
Of course, the Lord of the Realm will generally give Jin Yanxing some face!
after all……
The Golden Flame Star is the strategic fortress of the Blood Peak Empire, and the star lord of the Golden Flame Star is also a realm master-level powerhouse.
…
The Blood Peak spacecraft penetrated the atmosphere, and through the virtual exterior scene, Chu Zhou and others saw at a glance that there was an extremely vast docking port below.
There are a large number of spaceships in the harbor, some large and some small, with the small ones being only tens of meters or even dozens of meters in length.
The long ones are usually large transport ships, tens of thousands of meters long.
"call!"
The Blood Peak spacecraft slowly descended and finally landed.
The hatch opens.
Chu Zhou and others got off the spaceship.
"Dear sir, welcome to Jinyan Star. The parking fee for your Blood Peak X9981 spaceship is 500 Blood Peak coins per year! If it is less than a year, it will be charged at 500 Black Dragon coins. This is your parking card."
A human wearing gray and white work clothes and with two horns on his head ran over and spoke to Chu Zhou and others in the universal language of the universe.
He also handed a silver translucent card to Chu Zhou, which had an S logo on it.
"Can I pay with Galaxy Coin?" Chu Zhou asked.
"Sure, 500,000 Galaxy Coins!" said the staff.
Chu Zhou swiped the card directly and completed the payment.
Then they left the spacecraft's berth.
"That person just now should also have come to Jinyan Star to sign up for the Space Adventurer Assessment!"
"The Space Adventurer Assessment is about to begin...our Golden Flame Star is going to be lively again."
"However, every space adventurer assessment is extremely dangerous... I guess many of the people who come here to take the assessment will not survive."
The staff looked at Chu Zhou's leaving back and murmured softly.
…
After leaving the anchorage port, Chu Zhou and others immediately flew at full speed towards Jinyan City, the main city of Jinyan Star.
Half an hour later, Chu Zhou and his companions entered Jinyan City.
"This Jinyan City is indeed not comparable to Beta City... There are so many domain master-level experts!"
Chu Zhou and others were standing on a street in Jinyan City. Everywhere they looked, they saw warriors above the Star Level.
Domain Lords, who are rarely seen on Beta Star, are very common here.
They also saw many adventurers wearing bloody medals appearing here.
The branch of the Cosmic Adventurers' League is an extremely spectacular blood-red building.
"Hello sir, how can I help you?" A beautiful green-haired staff member asked Chu Zhou with a smile.
"I want to take part in the Space Adventurer Assessment!" Chu Zhou said.
"Your strength has reached the third level of Domain Lord, and you are qualified to participate in the assessment of space adventurers... Please show me your ID card."
The green-haired beauty said.
Chu Zhou immediately took out his Galactic Empire citizen ID card.
"drop!"
The green-haired beauty took an instrument, swiped it against Chu Zhou's ID card, and quickly entered some information into a machine.
"Okay! I've completed your registration... The registration fee is 10,000 Blood Peak Coins!"
Chu Zhou used a credit card to pay 10,000 Blood Peak Coins, which is equivalent to 10 million Galaxy Coins.
At this time, the green-haired beauty smiled and said to Chu Zhou:
"It will take some time for the Space Adventurer Assessment to officially begin... no more than a month! I will inform you of the specific time and assessment tasks when the time comes."
"You can go back now and wait for notification!"
Before Chu Zhou came here, he also searched for information about the cosmic adventurer assessment on the mirror universe network.
You know, the content of the space adventurer assessment is different every time.
Sometimes, the assessment content will be made public in advance.
But sometimes, those taking the test will not be notified until just before the test.
There is no fixed form.
Therefore, after hearing the green-haired beauty asking him to go back and wait for notification, he immediately left the Space Adventurers' League with Long and others.
"Oh right... let's take this opportunity to go to the Universe, Galaxy, and open an account!"
Chu Zhou discovered that whether in the mirror universe or on advanced planets like Jinyan Star, the currency settlement unit is usually Blood Peak Coin or Zhenyang Coin.
Galaxy Coin is rarely used.
Although, the situation he is currently facing can also be settled using Galaxy Coin.
This is because the places where he spends money are all giant forces such as the Mirror Universe Company and the Universe Adventurers Alliance, which have influence throughout the universe.
These giants, whose influence spreads across all human cosmic countries, will naturally accept the currencies of all human cosmic countries.
But he also knew that there were many cosmic countries outside the Galactic Empire that did not accept Galactic Currency as settlement... unless he was willing to pay a higher price.
The money in the Universe Galaxy Bank account can be freely converted into the currency of any cosmic country. Its function in currency settlement is unparalleled in the entire universe.
Therefore, he decided to open an account at the Universe Galaxy Bank.
Chu Zhou and others left the Cosmic Adventurers Alliance and walked towards the location of the Universe Galaxy Bank branch.
However, Chu Zhou and others did not notice that there were two figures watching their backs near the entrance of the Space Adventurers Alliance.
"Kuro...what's wrong with that guy?"
When Elisa saw Kuro, she suddenly stopped at the door, staring at Chu Zhou's figure, and asked curiously.
Kuro clenched his fists at this moment, his face livid: "Elisa...we made a mistake on Beta Star that day. The murderer who killed Brook was right in front of us that day, but we missed it in vain."
"What? That man is the murderer who killed Brook? And... he was in the Star Lord's Mansion on Star Beta that day?"
The expressions on both of Elisa's faces changed at the same time.
Kuro nodded heavily. “Although I only used my divine sense to scan the Star Lord’s Mansion that day… that person was standing relatively close to Ulmers, so I remembered him!”
"Originally, I thought he was just a ninth-level Star Warrior, so I ignored him."
“But today, we see him here.”
"Obviously, he came here to sign up for the Space Adventurer Assessment... and we just happened to run into him."
"Only those who have reached the Domain Lord level are eligible to participate in the Universe Adventurer Assessment."
"There is no doubt that he is the murderer of Brooke."
"It's obvious that we didn't find out that he was a domain master that day. It's very likely that he used some secret method to cover it up."
"You know... in the universe, there are many such secret methods to hide one's strength. After being activated, they can be hidden from the detection of auxiliary optical computers."
"Damn it... I see!" Elisa was furious when she heard this. "We failed our last mission and were scolded by the clan leader and teacher."
"This little thief caused us to be scolded by the clan leader and teacher. I will not forgive him!"
As she spoke, her two mouths full of sharp teeth revealed a ferocious look.
"Of course we won't let him go!" Kuro laughed grimly. "He also took part in the adventurer assessment this time and is in the same batch as us. We can take this opportunity to kill him!"
Chu Zhou didn't know that someone was planning to kill him. He, Long and others soon arrived at the branch of Universe Galaxy Bank on Jinyan Star.
Chu Zhou, Long, Thor, Chankaposa and other four people all opened an account in the Universe Galaxy Bank.
They also transferred all their deposits in the Galactic Empire Bank to the newly opened account.
Chu Zhou also converted all of his Galaxy coins into Blood Peak coins.
"Assets: 583.158 million Blood Peak Coins!"
This is the asset in his new account.
After opening an account at Universe Galaxy Bank, Chu Zhou and his three companions found a hotel in Jinyan City and stayed there.
While Chu Zhou was waiting for news about the adventurer's assessment in the hotel, he was practicing in the 'Killing Space' and 'Decisive Battle Space' of the mirror universe.
10 days later!
Chu Zhou suddenly received a message from the Cosmic Adventurers Alliance:
"Hello, Mr. Chu Zhou. The Space Adventurer Assessment will begin tomorrow. Please gather at the square of the Space Adventurer Alliance (Golden Flame Star Branch) before 10 o'clock tomorrow, show your ID card to the staff, and then take the assessment-only spaceship, leave Golden Flame Star, and head to the assessment location."
"The news finally came."
Chu Zhou immediately told the news to Long and the other three.
"Originally, I was thinking that since the location of your adventurer assessment this time is public, I would wait nearby for you to complete the assessment."
"It seems that the location and tasks of this adventurer assessment are all kept secret. We can't accompany you!"
Long said with a wry smile.
"We can't accompany you... You should be careful. Although we believe that with your strength, it should not be difficult to pass the one-star adventurer assessment... But you'd better be cautious and make sure to come back alive."
Thor patted Chu Zhou on the shoulder.
"Come on!" Zenkaposa also encouraged.
"Don't worry. It's just a one-star adventurer assessment. I will definitely succeed!" Chu Zhou said with a smile.
…
the next day!
Around 9:30.
When Chu Zhou arrived at the Square of the Cosmic Adventurers' League (Golden Flame Star Branch), he discovered that an enormous black spaceship was floating above the square.
The square was also full of people.
"So many people... there must be at least 30,000 people here!"
Chu Zhou glanced at the densely packed people in the square and secretly clicked his tongue.
However, to his surprise, he found many adventurers wearing bloody medals among the crowd.
"Brother, isn't this the new adventurer assessment? Why are there so many official adventurers here?"
Chu Zhou asked, pulling a blond young man with two sickle-shaped purple stripes on his face.
The blond young man was not angry with Chu Zhou. Instead, he enthusiastically explained to Chu Zhou: "Generally speaking, the assessment for new adventurers is separate from the star-raising assessment for formal adventurers."
"But there are exceptions occasionally. Sometimes, the workload of the assessment is large enough to satisfy both the rookie assessment and the star-up assessment for formal adventurers, so they will be combined together."
"There's no doubt that this is what happened to us this time! Damn, our luck is so bad."
The blond young man looked gloomy at the end of his speech.
"Is there any difference between separate assessments and combined assessments?" Chu Zhou asked with a frown.
"It's different, of course it's different!" The blond youth gritted his teeth and said, "If we have separate assessments, considering the strength of the newcomers, the Cosmic Adventurer Alliance will carefully control the difficulty of the assessment tasks... Although the elimination rate is shockingly high, in general, the risks are controllable, and the danger will not exceed the limit that a third-level Domain Lord warrior can bear too much!"
"But if we combine the assessments, it will be different. This kind of assessment task for both newcomers and veterans will be much more complicated in terms of both the situation and the environment, and the risks will be completely uncontrollable... For newcomers, the risks are much greater."
"Moreover, in such a large-scale mission, newcomers are likely to be used as cannon fodder by those official adventurers."
"You will understand if you think about it carefully. If a two-star adventurer of the sixth-level Territory Lord suddenly encounters a dangerous place during an assessment mission, will he force some people to go and explore the way for him?"
After Chu Zhou heard what the blond young man said, his expression suddenly changed.
He was sure that if the situation described by the blond young man really happened, the newcomer would definitely be used as cannon fodder.
"Well... this combined assessment method is indeed more dangerous than the separate assessment method."
Chu Zhou said with emotion: "Brother, do you want to give up this assessment? The assessment hasn't started yet, so you should be able to give up."
"Give up? Why give up?" The blond young man said, with a hint of excitement in his eyes: "This kind of combined assessment is indeed much more dangerous..."
"...But this is also a great opportunity. Crisis is crisis, and where there is crisis there is opportunity...Based on past experience, every time a combined assessment occurs, it often also means an opportunity to obtain a large number of treasures..."
"In the past, there were some newcomers who encountered this situation when they took the adventurer assessment for the first time. As a result, they gained huge wealth in the assessment and rose rapidly from then on."
"I don't want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune."
Chu Zhou was slightly stunned when he heard this.
I didn't expect that there would be such a situation.
Suddenly, his eyes sparkled.
He is poor now!
Moreover, there are basically no resources for cultivation.
He also wants to get rich quickly!
It would be even better if there was a chance to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources in a short period of time!
"My name is Adkins, what's yours?" the blond young man said his name.
"Chu Zhou!" Chu Zhou said.
"Chu Zhou, why don't we work together? This time the risk of the assessment is much greater than taking it separately... If we work together, we have a greater chance of survival and a greater chance of obtaining treasures!"
Adkins said to Chu Zhou.
"Okay!" Chu Zhou pondered for a moment and agreed to this cooperation.
There is no question of trust.
Just try it, nothing to lose.
"Hello everyone, I am Imogen, the person in charge of this assessment. Everyone, take out your ID cards and start identity verification. Once the verification is passed, board the spacecraft immediately!"
An old man in silver suddenly appeared above the square and glanced at everyone majestically.
The old man in silver clothes said wow, and all the warriors in the square took out their ID cards.
One by one, the staff members took the instruments and began to quickly check the ID cards.
After passing the identity verification, the warriors flew into the black spaceship in the sky one after another.
Chu Zhou and Adkins also passed the identity verification and entered the spacecraft.
Chu Zhou's expression changed slightly as soon as he sat down in a seat.
“It’s them!”
Chu Zhou saw two familiar figures in the spaceship.
These two people were Kuro and Elisa whom he had met in the main residence of Beta Star.
Chu Zhou didn't expect that he would actually take part in the adventurer assessment with these two people.
"What happened to Chu Zhou?"
Adkins saw that Chu Zhou looked a little strange and couldn't help asking.
"It's nothing, I just met two 'acquaintances'!" Chu Zhou smiled calmly.
His emotions have calmed down.
If he had met these two people before being promoted to Domain Lord, he would have to be extremely careful and must not let the other party know that he was the murderer of Brooke, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
But now... he is a third-level domain lord, and has mastered many space mysteries such as space jump and space shield.
So what if it’s exposed?
These two people may not be his opponents.
At this time, Kuro and Elisa, who were sitting in two seats more than ten meters apart, seemed to have sensed something and turned around to look at Chu Zhou.
The gazes of both parties vaguely collided in the void, but neither of them showed an expression that showed that they had already known each other.
It's as if we are strangers to each other.
