Ninth class citizen

Chapter 398 Gambling
This time, Nan Rong spent three whole days in the library, memorizing almost all the books that interested her.

This also includes the two books, "Elementary Secret Texts" and "Intermediate Secret Texts".

As for "Advanced Secret Texts," she actually found it; it was placed on the top floor of the library, alongside hundreds of books shimmering with golden light.

However, "The Origin of the Universe" was not among those books. This book was never even kept in the library.

However, they also have something in common with "The Origin of the Universe," and even if you open them and see them, you can't remember them, let alone understand their meaning.

If the Great Demon King hadn't directly imprinted the book into Nan Rong's mind, even with her high comprehension, she wouldn't have been able to fully understand and master it within just a few months.

Just like these books in front of me, they lie there quietly. You can look at them and touch them, but you just can't learn from them or take them away.

There was nothing the jelly dumplings could do about this situation.

In fact, after entering the Cosmic Heritage Academy, Jelly Dumpling became timid and hesitant.

Each student has their own domain spirit partner; a newly formed domain spirit has no advantage here.

It can stir up trouble in smaller planes and delve into the Star Network to collect massive amounts of knowledge, but in the library of the Plane Heritage Academy, it can only remain as quiet as a chicken and can do nothing.

Numerous restrictions have been placed here, and all knowledge is only available to students; spirits are not qualified to learn from it.

The librarian was still drinking tea and reading, nodding and swaying his head, looking completely relaxed.

Upon hearing Nan Rong's request, his hand trembled slightly, spilling a few drops of tea.

"The top floor?" He shook his head. "The books there, you can borrow if you can take them with you. If you can't take them, no one can help you."

This was the rule of the college library. Nan Rong gave up the idea of ​​asking Professor Zhou for help.

She had a hunch that he himself was probably still studying one of the books, and that he had only scratched the surface.

This intuition came suddenly, without any basis, but Nan Rong knew in her heart that it was very close to the truth.

She had verified this intuition many times, and each time it was accurate.

This is probably the bonus that comes with mastering the latter half of "The Theory of the Origin of the Universe" and understanding all the principles.

The time was almost up, and Nan Rong returned to the small plane through the White Jade Gate, just in time for the Advanced Gene Optimizer Certification Exam.

There can be no room for error in awakening Melissa, so it can only be done after the certification exam is over.

The certification of advanced gene optimizers at level six and above is no longer just a matter within the Federation. In addition to the evaluation by the central AI, it must also undergo joint review and evaluation by advanced gene optimizers before the certification results can have authoritative validity and become a recognized result across the entire interplanet.

She stayed in the core space of the universe for three days. According to the time flow ratio of 1:5, half a month had passed in the smaller dimension.

In just the past two weeks, more than 100,000 fifth-tier gene optimizers from the Delin Federation, the Mio Empire, and the Kungu Empire flocked to the planet, filling all the hotels, big and small, on Repniel to capacity.

This is a triennial grand event exclusively for intermediate and advanced gene optimization specialists.

Not only them, but also over a hundred Tier 6 gene optimizers, eager to advance, arrived on Sleipnir. But the ones who deserved the most attention were the high-ranking Tier 7 gene optimizers.

Since Master Porter's passing, for more than a decade, no one in the entire intergalactic world has been able to advance to the level of an eighth-order gene optimization master.

This time, twelve of the sixteen surviving seventh-tier gene optimization masters actually came to Sleipnir.

This includes His Excellency Kim Campbell, who is considered the frontrunner for promotion. If he successfully advances, his title will be changed to "Your Majesty," a title reserved for first-class citizens of the Union, in a very short time.

Before the certification process even began, betting schemes had already been set up on the StarNet.

The information of every certified gene optimizer was made public, and a list of popular candidates for promotion at each level was also compiled.

The transition from level five to level six is ​​the most brutal, representing a watershed moment in the career of a genetic optimization specialist.

Of the more than 100,000 Tier 5 gene optimizers, no more than ten will ultimately succeed in advancing to the next level, a probability of less than one in ten thousand.

The probability of advancing from level six to level seven is one percent. Of the level six gene optimizers who came to participate in the certification this time, only one or two will be able to achieve their wish.

However, advancing from the seventh to the eighth tier involves more than just passing tests. Beyond individual drug synthesis capabilities, the most crucial factor is one's contribution to the entire gene optimization endeavor.

It has passed the review of the central AI and has been recognized by more than half of the high-level gene optimization specialists.

This "half" refers not only to the gene optimizers on Sleipnir, but to all gene optimizers of rank six and above in the interstellar space, who have the right to vote remotely.

Of course, the surviving seventh-order gene optimizers have a much greater weight in the review process than sixth-order ones.

Nan Rong returned in the early morning of the day of the Five to Six Test, before the gambling game ended.

"Master, Master, you're one of the hottest contenders for the top five to top six this time!" Jelly Dumpling blinked her big eyes and said, "A lot of people have placed their bets on you. Especially your students, they all bet on you to pass with a high score. And Wendy, the teaching assistant you specially brought back, has bet her last Cowen on it, and every day besides teaching, she just hangs around in Fang Yinzi eating and drinking for free."

It fawned over Nan Rong by sending her the "betting slips from acquaintances" that it had recorded.

Nan Rong glanced at it and noticed that Wendy's bet amount was indeed different from others and could easily attract attention: 2031057 Cowen, with a small amount added.

Her lips unconsciously curved into a smile. This roommate really trusted herself too much; she didn't even leave a single penny for herself.

"Master, here is the information and odds table for the other popular candidates." Jelly Dumpling did her job very meticulously.

Besides Nan Rong, there are nearly a hundred other outstanding fifth-tier gene optimizers. They are either exceptionally talented and promising young people, or they are well-known and experienced. In short, each of them has a colorful past and is much more reliable than Nan Rong's thin page.

Therefore, her odds are the highest among all the popular players.

1:1.3.

The top spot on the list of favorites for advancing from five to six has odds of only 1 to 1.01.

That was a face that Nan Rong seemed to recognize.

"Lord Sibio. The second son of Prince Sippon of the Mio Empire, currently twenty-seven years old."
