Lord of Source Laws, Team Invitation
Time is like water, passing quietly under the scale of the sea of stars.
One year has passed since I met with General Luger and finalized the matter of participating in Tiered Battlefield.
East Peak Mercenary Group did not stay away from "Ash Star Domain", but took it as a base, like a patient hunter, active in the relatively safe surrounding star field, accepting some second- and third-level mercenary tasks - clearing out the small group of Kunmo Race, escorting the supply fleet, etc.
The risks of these tasks are controllable, and they can not only maintain the operation of Mercenary Group, earn the necessary Star Crystal, but also continue to work together as a team.
On this day, North Wind, in the advanced training room where the source energy concentration far exceeded the outside world, Lin Yi had just finished a round of high-intensity virtual confrontation.
On the light screen in front of you, data scrolled rapidly:
[Simulated opponent: Kunmo Race standard elite combat team]
[Combat result: total annihilation.]
[Evaluation of killing efficiency: increased by 0.71%.]
[Source energy consumption assessment: reduced by 0.3%.]
[Proficiency in applying the power of rules: increased by 0.13%.]
Lin Yi stared at the data with calm eyes.
"The speed of improvement is still a bit slow." He thought to himself.
These details are the difference between life and death on a real battlefield.
According to the information revealed by General Luger, it will be less than three years before Tiered Battlefield is officially launched.
These three years are a precious window for improvement for Eastern Edge and himself, and there is no room for relaxation.
At this moment, the voice of Xuanji sounded.
[Received directed Information Flow from the Galactic Mercenary Alliance headquarters via Pan-Spirit Alliance Virtual Network ultra-encrypted channel.]
[Message title: Galactic Mercenary Alliance·"Star Core Level Elite Training Camp" opens notification and access permission.]
[Special Training Camp Mode: Pan-Spirit Alliance Super Dimension Virtual Network · Deep Immersion.]
[Duration: 50 years standard time.]
[Open frequency: once every 200 standard years.]
[Qualifications for participation: Current members of Star Core level whose potential level reaches Level 5 and above according to the alliance's internal core assessment, or specially recommended by the person in charge of each branch and above.]
[Remarks: This is the last virtual Special Training Camp in this millennium cycle. The next phase is the "Real Special Training Camp" that will be opened in "Initial Battlefield" 200 years later in standard time, lasting 100 standard years, and the competition will be more intense.]
[Your rating: Level 4. The access license has been activated, the exclusive access code has been generated, and can be connected through any Pan-Spirit Alliance virtual access cabin with advanced specifications and above.]
"It's finally here."
Lin Yi's eyes flashed.
He had heard about the Galactic Mercenary Alliance's Star Core level Special Training Camp in his previous life. After confirming to join Galactic Mercenary Alliance in this life, he learned more about Special Training Camp in detail.
This Special Training Camp game is an important cradle for cultivating core reserve forces within the alliance system. It is opened every two hundred years in Virtual Network, giving the selected geniuses a full fifty years to conduct systematic and high-intensity learning and training.
Because Pan-Spirit Alliance Virtual Network's simulation of rules and energy feedback has reached an advanced level.
In the training camp that Galactic Mercenary Alliance set up at a great expense, apart from being unable to truly improve source energy and physical strength, the training of Rule Comprehension, source energy control, and combat skills had the same effect as reality, but it was safer and more efficient countless times.
As for the remaining one hundred and fifty years, each genius uses it to digest and digest what he has learned.
Moreover, every thousand years, there will be a resource reward event that requires more investment and more cruel and direct competition Special Training Camp.
"Grade 4." Lin Yi looked at this evaluation and felt calm in his heart.
Galactic Mercenary Alliance, as a behemoth spanning countless star fields, has gathered as many talents as there are grains of sand in the Ganges. With the 4th grade of treatment, it has entered the key training sequence, and can obtain many high-quality resources that are difficult to achieve outside the world.
Although compared to Pan-Spirit Alliance Virtual Network Company's Xing Yi, the third-tier "Spirit Glory Level" treatment that was applied to recruit him was indeed lower in terms of resource inclination than the top 100 people.
However, what Lin Yi values is not just resources, but the Mercenary Alliance platform, its mission system all over the star sea, and the opportunities contained therein, which is more in line with his goal of leading the overall rise of civilization.
Facts have proved that his choice was not wrong. Without the platform of the Galactic Mercenary Alliance, he would not have been able to bring the entire Mercenary Group into the military merit sequence of Tiered Battlefield.
"Xuanji, inform Ellie that I am about to enter the virtual Special Training Camp, which will last for 50 years. During this period, Mercenary Group will be fully responsible for all affairs. She will act according to the established plan, focusing on running the team and accumulating experience and resources. When Tiered Battlefield is activated and receives important tasks, you can contact me directly through emergency communication."
"The instruction has been confirmed and conveyed to Aurelia, deputy Commander. Deputy Commander replied: "Understood, good luck.""
After the explanation was completed, Lin Yi returned to the expensive advanced virtual access cabin in the training room, and then ordered:
"Connection target: Galactic Mercenary Alliance, Star Core Level Elite Training Camp, access code authentication."
In an instant, it was like walking through a strange tunnel woven by countless bright data streams, twisted starlight and threads of original rules, surrounded by a strange sense of time and space transformation.
When everything stabilized, Lin Yi appeared in a virtual space beyond the boundaries of ordinary imagination.
Under your feet is a square that seems to be paved with solid starry sky. The black base contains countless tiny flashes of light. Walking on it is like walking on the curtain of the universe.
As far as the eye can see, majestic buildings stand like miracles. There are giant rune towers that tower into the nebula, there are buildings that occupy an extremely large area and look like the ancient Roman Colosseum, and there are also strange cloud-like buildings that are constantly changing their shapes.
At this moment, thousands of figures have gathered in this magnificent starry sky square.
They have different shapes, most of them are Spirit Race, in addition, there are a few other races.
When Lin Yi glanced at it, in addition to Human Race, there were also "Spirit Scale Race" whose skin was covered with fine colored scales and whose pupils were erect like cat eyes, and "Spirit Scale Race" whose back had translucent light wings. "Holy Light Feather Race", "Shape-Shifting Race" which is made of liquid metal and can change its body shape at will, and even "Li Race" which is very petite but gives off a strange sense of power.
These are all Star Core level geniuses selected from races and friendly forces within the Galactic Mercenary Alliance's sphere of influence, or from races and friendly forces that have a deep cooperative relationship with the Galactic Mercenary Alliance.
Lin Yi deliberately restrained his aura and regular fluctuations, and looked like just an ordinary black-haired Human Race young man with a calm face.
He stood silently on the edge of the square, observing all this with calm eyes.
These geniuses from different races, some of whom were obviously of extraordinary origin, were in groups, talking to each other familiarly.
Some stand alone, exuding an atmosphere that no strangers should approach.
Others seemed to be newcomers as well, looking curiously at this magical virtual world and the legendary facilities.
"Hi! Are you new here too? Gear 4, man, you are awesome."
A voice with a somewhat cynical tone sounded nearby, breaking Lin Yi's observation.
Lin Yi turned around and saw a Human Race young man wearing a bright purple combat uniform with gold trim, looking at him with a smile.
This young man's short hair was dyed into a rainbow-like gradient color, and shimmered faintly as his head moved.
What's even more striking is that lying on his shoulder is a small creature that looks like a squirrel but has three purple eyes, looking at Lin Yi curiously.
"Introduce yourself."
The young man patted his chest and waved a few badges of unknown meaning on his combat uniform, "Kenkes, from Aurora Rainbow Star Sector, a romantic place that loves art. I am a newcomer in the fifth grade, please give me some advice."
"Lin Yi."
Lin Yi Answer in a concise and concise manner.
There is no point in hiding his name, because as far as he knows, this training camp has rankings, and they are all real-name.
Then, Lin Yi asked curiously, "You said you are a newcomer, so how do you know that I am a newcomer too?"
"Ha, that's right."
Kenkes blinked his eyes, which also had a bit of colorful luster, and explained with a smile:
"Because my brother was also in this training camp before, but he graduated in the last period. He compiled all the information about the training camp and told me. As you know, there are only a few thousand people in this training camp. If you stay for a long time, you will naturally understand everyone."
As he said that, he pointed to the light green halo at the feet of Lin Yi and said, "Especially those in level 4 or above, there are only a few hundred people. I noticed the unfamiliar faces outside your list at a glance, so they can only be newcomers."
Lin Yi was stunned upon hearing this.
He thought to himself, "This Kenkes seems to be out of the ordinary, but he didn't look for other newcomers. He came to me first. He must not be as simple as he seems. Besides, his brother has also been in the training camp. Judging from his appearance, he is probably the core child of a big family, and he is also Human Race. We can make friends with him."
Lin Yi knows very well that Special Training Camp is not only a place to study and practice, but also an important place to build connections and understand potential future opponents or allies.
People like Kenkes can provide a lot of convenience.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi smiled at Kenkes and said, "So that's it, then I'll have to ask you for advice more in the future."
"Haha, it's not like asking for advice." Kenkes waved his hand and came closer, lowering his voice as if sharing a secret, "Let me tell you, our Special Training Camp is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Have you seen that iceberg over there?"
He secretly gestured with his eyes to a silver-haired woman standing alone in the distance, exuding an aura of keeping strangers away from her.
The woman was tall and tall, with a face as delicate as an ice sculpture. She wore a plain white armor with snowflake patterns, and even her eyelashes seemed to be made of ice crystals.
She just stood there quietly, and the temperature around her seemed to drop a few degrees, causing people nearby to unconsciously move away.
"That's Lan Shuang." Kenkes said, "It is said that she comes from a very ancient bloodline family "Frost Silence Star Court" and is a level 3 boss. It is said that when she first broke through Star Core, there was a huge snowstorm on the entire planet!"
He pointed in another direction. It was a strong man with a height of more than ten meters. His muscles were carved like flowers Granite. His skin showed a deep rock color. Just standing there gave people a heavy and oppressive feeling like a mountain.
"Shi Man, from Giant Rock Race, is also the third gear. They are naturally physically strong and have amazing defense. It is said that they can tear apart small battleships with their hands as adults."
Kenkes is like a dedicated intelligence dealer, nonstop introducing those slightly famous geniuses with detailed information, including some innocuous rumors.
Lin Yi listened quietly and kept this information in mind one by one.
At this moment, the entire Virtual Starry Sky Plaza shook slightly without any warning.
A vast and unparalleled coercion, as if originating from the origin of the universe, descended out of thin air.
In an instant, all the conversations in the square stopped abruptly. At this moment, everyone felt their souls throbbing and held their breath involuntarily.
A blur of light and shadow appeared silently in the highest sky in the center of the square.
I couldn't see my face or my clothes clearly, I could only feel the powerful will as deep as the sea of stars.
"Welcome, the future Sharp Blade and Strong Shield of the Alliance."
A voice with supreme majesty sounded directly in Lin Yi's heart, "I am the host of virtual Special Training Camp, you can call me "Yan Huang"."
At this time, Lin Yi felt Kenkes next to him poke him fiercely, and at the same time, a low reminder sounded in his ears.
"What are you doing! Lower your head quickly, this is Lord of Source Laws, don't stare even if it's just a passing thought!"
Lin Yi was shocked, Lord of Source Laws, but he had touched the ultimate principle of the universe - the great existence of "Origin Law".
He quickly looked away and looked down at his toes.
And the voice continued.
"In the next fifty years, you will learn, fight, hone, and grow here. The rules are simple: do your best, acquire knowledge, hone yourself, stand out from the competition, and show your potential that is worthy of the resources poured into it."
"Now. Elite Special Training Camp is officially launched!"
The moment the words fell, the vast coercion that enveloped the entire audience receded like a tide.
At the same time, a highly personalized translucent virtual light curtain instantly popped up in front of everyone.
The light screen interface is simple and rich in information. The top is basic personal information, and the bottom column displays detailed course schedule, training facility permissions and reservations, initial resource points, and real-time Points ranking list.
"The existence above Lord of Source Laws. Eternal Divinity."
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, and then focused on the light screen in front of him.
The first thing he noticed was his initial Points.
10,000 points.
This is the starting capital as a Tier 4 Genius.
He glanced at the Kenkes next to him. The initial Points of this fifth-level genius was shockingly only 1,000 points.
The ten-fold difference intuitively reflects the resource inclination obtained by different potential assessments.
The importance of Points is self-evident.
Pay course fees, reserve advanced practice facilities, redeem specific virtual enlightenment opportunities or assist in practice procedures.
More importantly, Lin Yi saw an option deep in Points's exchange list that made him excited: exchange for real resources!
Although the price is high and needs to be uniformly distributed by the alliance after each Special Training Camp is completed, rare items such as "Source Essence Pure Water (1000 Points)" and "Cambrian Stone (800 Points)" appear on the list.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes fell on the most eye-catching real-time Points ranking list.
At the top of the list, according to Kenkes, are three level 2 geniuses.
1st place: Longo·Xingtong, Points:39520101
No. 2: Youlan·Yingge, Points:30281020
3rd place: Xuan Zhong, Points:15212500
Their Points surprisingly exceeds 10 million.
Then there are more than forty third-level geniuses such as Shuang Lan, Shi Man, etc. Their Points ranges from 2 million to 5 million.
Further down, there is mainly the level 4 genius area, with hundreds of names densely packed.
Lin Yi quickly scanned down and quickly saw his name.
"Lin Yi" is at the very bottom of the list, ranked 3973, which is only better than the hundreds of new 5th-level geniuses whose initial Points is one thousand.
Points is precious, Lin Yi is not in a hurry to rank or blindly book popular courses.
He first carefully studied the course schedule, and then first checked <Introduction to the Essence of Rules> (Eternal Divinity "Qiong" lecturer, requiring 800 Points) and <Advanced Soul Weapon Application Techniques> (500 points).
The former can help him consolidate his basic understanding of the two major rules of gold and life, while the latter is directly related to the subsequent development and power improvement of his core weapon Nine Luminaries Thunder Bead.
Then, he chose <Biology and Weakness Analysis of Ten Thousand Races in the Star Sea> (requires 500 Points), which is crucial practical knowledge for him who is about to face Kunmo Race and his possible allies.
Finally, he made an appointment for Source Energy Control Room's mid-level pressure environment (50 Points per hour) and prepared to optimize the operating efficiency of <Star-Deriving Essence Tempering Art> first.
Just the preliminary planning consumed nearly 2550 Points, which was more than a quarter of his initial Points.
This made him deeply appreciate the preciousness and consumption speed of Points.
After doing this, the general Kenkes seemed to have finished planning and came together.
He first said with emotion, "My brother said that before the start of each issue, this fragment of the great Lord of Source Laws will appear. It is mainly to remind us of the new members. Lord of Source Laws. I didn't expect to actually see such a great existence. It can be regarded as a gain in knowledge."
But then, he looked at the white halo under his feet and lamented. "But, 1,000 points. What is this enough for? It's gone after listening to a lecture from the gods once, and I have to save up to 100,000 points before I can turn green. How long will it take to save up?"
Kenkes then glanced enviously at the green aperture at Lin Yi's feet, "Your 4th gear is better, the starting point is much higher."
In the training camp, perhaps to encourage competition, the colors of the virtual apertures at the feet of geniuses of different levels are different, clearly distinguishable and conspicuous.
And the more Points acquired at the current stage, the darker the color will be.
Like Lin Yi himself, there is a light green aperture under his feet.
If you want to change the halo color and improve your level, there are two main ways.
The first is to achieve results that exceed your own grade in the next Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle. For example, if a genius in grade 4 reaches the top 100, he will be directly promoted to grade 3.
The second is to achieve this by obtaining massive Points within this Special Training Camp.
To advance from level 5 white to level 4 green, you need to accumulate Points to reach 100,000 points. To advance from level 4 green to level 3 blue, you need to accumulate Points to reach one million points.
The second level from blue to purple requires tens of millions of Points.
The huge gap between the initial Points and the Points required for promotion means that everyone must work hard to learn, challenge, and complete tasks in order to obtain enough Points to improve themselves and obtain more resources.
Just then, a voice came from the side:
"This friend is Lin Yi?"
Lin Yi turned around and saw a Human Race young man walking over with a green halo under his feet and wearing an elegant silver combat uniform. Behind him were two companions with the same green halo.
"I am Deputy Captain, Xing Yu from Star Radiance Squad." The young man in silver clothes introduced himself with a smile.
He glanced at the aperture at Lin Yi's feet, "Looking at my friends, this is your first time participating in Special Training Camp, right? Our Star Radiance is mainly composed of 4th gear and some top 5th gear members, and the captain is a strong player in the 3rd gear."
"Special Training Camp has many high-reward group missions and simulated battles. Fighting alone is not only inefficient, but also difficult to get high ratings. I wonder if any of your friends are interested in joining us?"
Almost at the same time, two people walked over from the other side. There was an extremely rich white halo under their feet. They were obviously the best among the 5th gear.
The leader was a short-haired woman with a strong figure and sharp eyes.
"Lin Yi?" Her voice was crisp, "I am the captain of White Fang Squad, Qing Feng. Although our team currently has a white badge, the members are all practical and good at collaboration. Instead of joining the "green badge" team, why not come to us? Our team will soon be promoted to the green badge, and the distribution will be absolutely fair."
The two groups of people represent different choices and paths.
"Star Radiance" represented by Xing Yu is a mature and old 4-tier team with many resources and a high starting point, but it may be hierarchical internally.
"White Fang" represented by Qin Feng is a potential stock that pays more attention to practicality and fairness, but its starting point is low.
Lin Yi understood the situation instantly.
The group mission of Special Training Camp has rich rewards, and strong teammates are the key to quickly obtain Points.
Therefore, a new high-level student like him will naturally become the target of wooing by all parties.
Lin Yi glanced at Xing Yu, then at Qing Feng, and said with a smile, "Thank you both for your kindness, but I have no idea of joining the team for the time being."
Both of them seemed a little surprised.
"That's right."
Others warmly invited Lin Yi, so Lin Yi would naturally not reject it without any reason. Moreover, they were all potential stocks of Human Race, and they were all mixed up in the Mercenary Alliance. There was no need to offend others for nothing, so he added:
"You may have heard that our Human Race has been having some friction with Kunmo Race recently. I have been wandering around the border during this period, and I have promised Star Realm Army to join the battlefield. Therefore, I may leave Virtual Network at any time to go on a mission."
Lin Yi showed an apologetic smile, "Therefore, in order not to affect the team's actions, I can only reluctantly refuse the two of them. I guess I will either be a lone ranger in the future, or I will form a small team where I can formulate an action plan. I will just mess around like this for now."
"So that's how it is."
Xing Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Border killing enemies, well done. When it's convenient for you, our Star Radiance door will be open for you at any time."
After speaking, he greeted Lin Yi before leaving with his companions.
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows and took a deep look at Lin Yi: "If you are brave, I hope to see you at the top of the Points list."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Kenkes looked on at the side dumbfounded. He waited for the others to leave before he came over and whispered, "I'm going to the border battlefield! I can't tell, but you are actually a fierce man. It's a pity. Star Radiance and White Fang are both good teams, especially Star Radiance. I heard that their captain is almost a million Points."
Lin Yi shook his head. His explanation just now was not a shirk. Although he could obtain Points faster by joining an existing team, he might also be constrained by team tasks and lose some of his autonomy. After all, his focus was still on Tiered Battlefield.
Moreover, Lin Yi knows very well where its biggest advantage is.
Gear 4 is just his starting point. He can build his own team and choose teammates he feels are suitable.
For example, maybe you can check out Hakes, who seems to be a chatty person, but is well-informed and seems to have a good background, or see if you can meet other suitable candidates.
In this way, he can take charge of the designated plan, not only can Tiered Battlefield be taken into account, but the training camp will not be left behind.
After all, in the Points rules, in addition to individual rankings, there are also team rankings.
Create your own team that can hit the top of the team rankings, and the resources and Points rewards you can obtain are far more than simply joining a certain team.
