Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 163 Registration Successful, Departure for Canglan Star

After queuing for an hour, Jiang Lan finally arrived at the adventurer registration window.

He showed his identification and quickly received a plain black card.

This is an adventure card.

With this item, Jiang Lan is now officially an adventurer in the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

After looking around, his gaze settled on the registration point for the trainee mercenary assessment.

At the registration point, the line was much shorter than the one he was in, but it still looked like he would have to wait at least half an hour.

Jiang Lan twitched the corner of her mouth.

What can you do if you have to wait in line? Just wait in line.

He walked to the end of the registration line and followed the flow of people forward little by little.

To Jiang Lan's surprise, the registration office was quite efficient; it only took twenty minutes before there was no one in front of her.

"Hello, I'm here to register."

Inside the registration area sat a blue-skinned man.

"Adventure Card"

Jiang Lan handed over the adventure card.

The man took the card and swiped it on the machine in front of him. Jiang Lan's information appeared on the virtual screen in front of him.

After glancing at the screen, the man handling the transaction looked up at Jiang Lan with some surprise.

The light screen clearly stated that Jiang Lan's strength was only at the first level of the Hengxing realm.

With that kind of skill, without help, it would be almost impossible to pass the test.

There's even a high probability that they might die during the assessment.

"Star Rank 1, meets the requirements for the assessment registration." The man paused, "I'm just giving you a personal reminder, with your strength, participating in the assessment is practically suicide. So think it over before you decide."

Jiang Lan smiled upon hearing this.

I didn't realize this person was such a nice guy.

However, he had already made up his mind, and of course he would not change his mind because of a single sentence from the man in front of him.

"I'm sure."

Upon hearing this, the man handling the transaction gave Jiang Lan a deep look, but said nothing more.

Since this little guy is courting death, he doesn't need to stop him, does he?

"Okay, if you confirm, then pay the registration fee of 10,000 Black Dragon Coins."

As he spoke, the man took out something that looked like a black metal plate.

This thing is the most commonly used POS machine in the universe, basically covering all banks.

Jiang Lan was familiar with the process; she unleashed her mental power and scanned the metal plate.

"Beep—Transaction successful, received 10 Qianwu Coins!"

Inside the window, the man was taken aback.

Qianwu currency?

There's only one possibility for getting Qianwu Coins directly.

That is, the young man in front of us doesn't have any Black Dragon Coins in his account.

It seems he misjudged the situation.

This young man is probably from some powerful family. When he takes the exam, he will definitely have a large group of bodyguards at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm.

The man smiled and handed Jiang Lan a piece of paper, saying:

"This is the content of this year's trainee mercenary assessment."

Jiang Lan took the paper the man handed her and glanced at it.

A few lines of text were written on the paper in a universal language.

"Enter the main world of Canglan Star Realm, obtain three Windhorn Stones and a horn from a Unicorn Iron Rhinoceros. Then hand them over to the staff of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance guarding the exit of the main world."

A one-horned iron rhinoceros?

Jiang Lan blinked.

This name sounds like the name of a monster.

It seems Babata was right. This world of the Realm Lords will likely allow his strength to surge dramatically!

Thank you.

Jiang Lan said something and then left the window.

Right now, it's time to head to Canglan Star to participate in the assessment.

Whether or not there's an assessment, it's not that important.

The most important thing is to improve our strength.

He's the man who's going to stand at the pinnacle of the universe!

Before Jiang Lan could take a few steps, a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Hey buddy, wanna buy a map?"

"Um?"

Jiang Lan looked in the direction from which the sound came.

There stood a middle-aged man with gray skin who looked rather honest, holding a stack of maps in his hand.

"What map?"

"Young man, this is a map of the main world of Canglan Star Realm. It marks all the dangerous locations and contains countless summaries of experience from those who came before. Buying this map will at least double your chances of succeeding in the assessment!"

Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"How much?"

If the map is really as this person says, then buying a copy wouldn't be a bad idea.

Although his main purpose was not to pass the assessment, being able to avoid relatively dangerous places in advance would provide more security for the assessment trip.

"One hundred Black Dragon Coins."

The man smiled.

Jiang Lan flicked her finger, and a coin traced an arc in the air before landing precisely in the man's arms.

The man was taken aback. He was about to say something, but when he looked down, he saw the Dry Witch Coin symbol on the coin.

"This...this...sir, I don't have change."

"You don't need to look for it, I'll give you the extra."

Jiang Lan took two steps forward, snatched a map from the man's hand, and turned to leave.

……

……

Moments later, the Dragon Star spaceship docked at the port.

Jiang Lan sat in the spaceship's cockpit and asked Babata:

"How long will it take to get to Canglan Star?"

"The distance between Canglan Star and Qiulong Star is about 6.3 light-years. It will take the spaceship about two days to reach them."

Jiang Lan was pleasantly surprised; she hadn't expected it to be so close.

The trainee mercenary assessment is not something that everyone enters at the same time; rather, it takes place over a period of time.

Anyone participating in the assessment can enter during this period.

Now, there is still almost a month before the entrance closes.

"Then let's get going!"

Jiang Lan spoke with considerable excitement.

"OK."

As Babata fell a year later, the spaceship trembled slightly before rising into the sky.

"Turn on the outdoor simulation; the realism is 100%."

The scenery around Jiang Lan began to become transparent, and then the colorful sky of Qiulong Star came into his view.

The spaceship was extremely fast, and in an instant it broke through the atmosphere and entered space.

After gazing at the starry sky for a while, Jiang Lan began to feel a bit bored.

There was no other way, since he had spent almost all of his recent time in space.

What initially amazed him about the universe and galaxies, after a while, turned out to be nothing special.

After a while, Jiang Lan stood up from the driver's seat and said to Babata:

"I'm going to rest for a while. Don't forget to wake me up later."

"Go ahead without worry."

Jiang Lan yawned.

During the previous nine days on the road, he had been in the virtual universe, accompanying Yaorao.

Although sleeping is no longer necessary once you reach the stars, going too long without rest can still negatively impact your condition.

The assessment is coming up, and before that, Jiang Lan needs to get some rest and get herself into the best mental state.

sleep!
