Lu Yin's eyes lit up when he accepted it. This should be a gift from Michelle and the others, but he actually got one as well. It was probably hush money or compensation.
Lu Yin was about to ask something, but the Rainmaster had already disappeared.
Rather disappointed, he inserted the chip into his gadget and looked at the screen with shining eyes. There was an introduction to star energy that clearly described its many transformations. Seeing this, Lu Yin finally knew what he should do next.
"Every student should have something like this," Lu Yin muttered to himself. Astral-10's education methods were indeed problematic.
According to the chip, star energy went from removing impurities to solidifying, and then to the realm of infinite transformations. This was a process that many cultivators needed to use natural crystals to display battle techniques, but as long as one's star energy reached the realm of infinite transformations, they could imitate natural phenomena.
Lu Yin raised his hand and condensed star energy in his palm. Without using the Sirius Art, his star energy could only form a trace of substance at most. He hadn't even touched upon the realm of solidification, let alone the realm of infinite transformations.
After the realm of infinite change, there was an even deeper realm, which was to strengthen one's own will and even form a power system that was unique to oneself. This kind of system was only mentioned once on the chip, and there was no specific explanation. However, the words "unique to oneself" firmly attracted Lu Yin's attention.
Star energy was the foundation of everything, and his control over it was still too crude. It was no wonder that all the students who had passed the exam had appeared at the Rain Observatory. Astral-10 had hoped that all students would start cultivating there, but everyone else had placed their focus elsewhere.
The screen disappeared and the chip shattered. Lu Yin looked up; he also wanted to cultivate at the Rain Observatory and let his star energy transform, but it would take too long. What he wanted the most right now was to obtain a batch of star crystals and roll his die. He was looking forward to the never-before-seen three pips and the six pips that had absorbed all his star energy without revealing its ability.
Determining the direction of the teleportation device, Lu Yin soared into the sky.
The Rainmaster watched from a distance, deep in thought, "Strange, I've never seen the seal on his body before. It's very complicated and definitely not something from the Outerverse. It's hard to find even in the Innerverse. Could it be …?"
Aside from the three main attractions, there was also a place called the Treasury, which was where Lu Yin was heading.
According to Big Pao's introduction, the Treasure Pavilion not only housed countless rare treasures, but also gave out training missions for students to obtain rewards. Lu Yin wanted to try his luck and obtain some star crystals.
The Treasure Pavilion was very big, and its exterior was dazzling with gold and jade. It really lived up to its name.
At this moment, Hui Daynight was about to leave the treasury when Lu Yin entered.
"Scram," Hui Daynight growled, shooting a disdainful glance at Lu Yin as he left.
A cold glint flashed across Lu Yin's eyes; this guy was asking for a beating.
"Oh, there's another newcomer. It's the seventh. What do you need?" Not far away, a thin and shriveled old man smiled strangely at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked over and was taken aback. The old man's mustache was quite unique, and his mustache moved along with his smile. His eyes were crafty and cunning, and it was obvious that he wasn't a good person. "You are?
A teacher of the Treasure Pavilion? "
The old man nodded and stroked his mustache. "Student, are you here to search for treasures or to complete a mission?"
"Can I go in and take a look?" Lu Yin asked.
The old man waved his hand and a screen appeared in front of him, displaying a dazzling array of items. "Everything in the Treasure Pavilion is here. You can take a look, but you can't enter."
Lu Yin stared at the screen in shock; there were many things on it, including armor, pills, books, weapons, and even spaceships.
The screen disappeared after a while, and the old man waved his hand again to bring up another screen. This time, it wasn't an item, but a mission. "You have to complete a mission to obtain the items in the Treasure Pavilion and exchange them with corresponding mission points. How about it, student? Interested?"
"They all seem to be Sentinel missions," Lu Yin was puzzled.
The old man stroked his mustache. "Those who dare to issue missions to Astral-10 are all huge organizations and financial groups. Their missions aren't simple, so don't even think about challenging those above your level. You'll be lucky if you can even complete a Sentinel mission. Take a look at the top."
Lu Yin looked at the mission description: "Obtain five consecutive victories in ported battles. Reward: Aurora spacecraft and 10,000 star crystals."
"Five consecutive victories?" Lu Yin was shocked.
The elder nodded. "Yes, it's a five-match winning streak, not a five-match winning streak. The difference in difficulty is like the difference between heaven and earth. Of course, the rewards are very generous. That brat from the Daynight clan went to challenge it."
Lu Yin laughed; it was difficult for them to even win five consecutive victories, so it was no wonder Hui Daynight's expression was so ugly. He scrolled down to see if there were any missions suitable for him.
"Search for the legendary Violet Orchid Sprouts."
"Complete a weave trial."
"Lockbreaking."
"Lockbreaking."
"Lockbreaking."
"Don't speak for a year."
"Lockbreaking."
"Help Iltoc Spacecraft Company decompose waste materials. Reward: one-third of the value of the decomposed materials."
…
There were all sorts of missions, and there was even a mission to not speak for a year. Lu Yin's horizons were broadened, "Mentor, what does lockbreaking mean?"
The old man glanced at him. "You've never heard of Lockbreakers?"
Lu Yin shook his head.
The old man was disdainful. "Youngsters these days don't know anything, not even about Lockbreakers. I can't be bothered to explain it to you, go find out for yourself."
Lu Yin didn't mind and pointed at a mission. "That's it."
The old man glanced at it. "Iltoc Spacecraft Company is an old friend of Astral-10. Don't embarrass Astral-10 or you'll be punished."
Lu Yin smiled. Embarrass?
What a joke. With the die, decomposing materials was too easy. He could easily decompose the company until they started doubting their own existence.
"I've already transferred the mission to you. The location is written on it, go on your own," the old man said.
Lu Yin looked at the location. The closest Iltoc Spacecraft Company was two days away from Astral-10, and he had to pass through a wormhole in between. He followed the mission's instructions and borrowed a personal spacecraft from the treasury.
"Return it when you're done, or pay for it if you don't," the old man said as he handed the spacecraft to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin entered his fingerprint and teleported to Astral-10's space station. There were no less than a hundred personal spacecraft, so he randomly picked one and entered it. Not long after, the spacecraft took off and rushed into space.
Astral-10 was hidden from view, and when Lu Yin appeared in the dark sky, he couldn't see Astral-10 at all.
The huge Astral-10 was completely hidden, as if it didn't exist. Lu Yin couldn't imagine how this was done.
Half a month later, Lu Yin finally left Astral-10. At this moment, he was traveling through the universe as a student of Astral-10.
Elsewhere, at the Sand Ocean's teleportation device, Coco looked at the boundless desert in fear. "Brother Little Pao, I don't like it here."
Little Pao laughed. "This is a good place to train, it can stimulate anyone's potential."
"I'm not in a hurry, really," Coco said hurriedly.
"Then I wish you victory in the upcoming freshmen competition," said Little Pao.
Coco was shocked. "New Student Competition?
What's that? "
"All new students will have a martial arts competition to determine their status in the academy. The strongest person will be rewarded handsomely."
Coco pursed her lips. "When will it be?"
Little Pao shrugged. "I'm not sure, maybe in a few days or a few months. It depends on the mentor's mood, but the last person will definitely be punished."
Coco was speechless. She thought back to all the new students and realized that she was probably the weakest. "How can that be?"
Little Pao laughed. "Go train."
Meteors streaked across the dark sky.
Two days later, a dark yellow planet appeared in front of Lu Yin. This was his destination, one of Iltol Corporation's garbage disposal planets.
This dark yellow planet was one of the most common planets. It was under the control of Iltoco, and everyone on it was Iltoco's people.
Lu Yin's spacecraft was confirmed to be allowed to land.
When he opened the door and walked out, he saw a slightly plump middle-aged man smiling at him.
"Welcome to Iltol Corporation, I'm Manager Ake," the man immediately greeted him politely.
Lu Yin nodded. "I'm Lu Yin."
