Swallowing the Stars: Starting from the Endless Dungeon

Chapter 71 Apprentice Mercenary Assessment

"Then let's sign the contract!"

The two parties quickly drafted a contract and completed the transaction, totaling 3.74 billion spirit coins. It seems like a lot, but when converted to Qianwu coins, it's only 374 million Qianwu coins, which isn't much. Of course, this is also because the weapons he offered weren't high-level. If they were high-level, the price of one would be sky-high. Then, Su Jing chose a top-tier Tier 3 Force weapon. You should know that the Blood Shadow Blade he bought before was only a Tier 3 ordinary weapon. Among Tier 3 weapons, the highest price can be several hundred billion spirit coins, while the lowest is only a few billion spirit coins, a difference of a hundred times!

Previously, he hadn't bought anything too good because he was short of money. Now, he needed to choose a sufficiently good Force weapon. Anyway, he would hardly ever use it in reality, so there would be no wear and tear. He could sell it later. As for fourth-tier Force weapons, that was beyond his current reach. Even the worst fourth-tier psychic weapons cost tens of billions of Qianwu coins, and the good ones even cost trillions. After all, such weapons were for domain lords, so the price was naturally much higher.

After some selection, he chose a Tier 3 Star Shattering Blade, a top-tier Tier 3 Force weapon. In the hands of some powerful cosmic-level beings, it could even rival a Domain Lord. Otherwise, top-tier Tier 3 Force weapons wouldn't be so expensive. Generally, poorer Domain Lords use top-tier Tier 3 Force weapons. As for others, with the added combat power of their domains, their combat strength is still quite formidable. In addition, he also bought a Tier 3 Force Battle Suit, which cost him a total of 300 billion Spirit Coins. The money he had just received was instantly gone, leaving only a fraction of it. However, he didn't feel bad at all, since these items could all improve his strength. As long as he could clear the dungeon, he would have as many treasures as he wanted.

After the successful transaction, Su Jing left the Treasure Shop and exchanged his useless weapon for a higher-level weapon and armor. He was naturally very satisfied. With enough dungeons, he could proudly say that he was not short of money!

Even in special environments where only a small number of treasures can be obtained, as long as they are among the drops in a dungeon and the owner can kill the monster, they are considered as collectibles. The more times you run the dungeon, the more treasures you will accumulate.

Leaving the Treasure Shop, Su Jing headed towards the headquarters of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. He was going to register for the trainee mercenary assessment. There, he was certain he could create a dungeon. As for the fact that none of his opponents were as strong as him, that wasn't important. What he cared more about was the talent of these people. Just as he had expected, everyone who registered for the trainee mercenary assessment had some skills, and their talent was definitely not bad. After collecting all their talents, he could become an all-around genius. At that time, he wouldn't have to worry about talent no matter what he did. Therefore, this dungeon was very important. It might not bring him a leap in strength, but it could make his foundation more solid, turning him into a true genius, without any other unexpected events.

After walking for a short while, Su Jing arrived at a very lively small town, which was the base of the Cosmic Mercenary Federation.

As one of the five major powers, the layout and liveliness here are no less than other places.

A large number of people have entered the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, with more than 80% registering as adventurers!

After all, registering as an adventurer doesn't require anything else, just a person. This way, you can get some general information, which is great. If you can pass the trainee mercenary exam and become a trainee mercenary, you can also take on missions here to improve your strength. Most ordinary universe adventurers choose this path, looking for suitable teammates here to explore the universe together. After all, the universe is too big, and there are too many dangers and accidents. It's not uncommon for people to venture out alone, but those who dare to be lone wolves are either very strong or just reckless. Cooperation is naturally the most convenient option in the Mercenary Alliance. Su Jing is also queuing up here with people from various human races to register as an adventurer.

The process was quick and not complicated, except for the long queue. After about an hour, it was finally done. Su Jing registered as an adventurer and received an adventure card. He then took the adventure card to the side to apply for the apprentice mercenary assessment. There were far fewer people there, and most of those who came to participate in the apprentice mercenary assessment had already formed teams. After all, the apprentice mercenary assessment had a high mortality rate, and dying there really meant death. Although the assessments varied from place to place, they all had a certain level of difficulty. Even for apprentice mercenaries, a certain level of strength was required.

"Bro, I see you're all alone. How about we team up? It'll be much easier to pass the trainee mercenary assessment. It's too dangerous for you to be out there alone. Teaming up will significantly increase your chances of passing."

A muscular man approached and whispered, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm used to being alone and it's inconvenient for me to team up." Su Jing glanced at the man and his teammates behind him. Their cultivation levels were around the eighth or ninth rank of the Hengxing realm, making them a relatively strong team. As for inviting him, the reason was simply that they couldn't see through him. Even without deliberately hiding, his mastery of the "Return to the Void Concealment Technique" made him completely undetectable to ordinary Hengxing level cultivators. "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm used to being alone and it's inconvenient for me to team up."

Having received a clear rejection from Su Jing, the muscular man stopped arguing and turned to leave.

"How's Nathan doing? Got a beating, huh? I told you not to go. That guy doesn't look like someone to mess with, and our team isn't bad either. We're all at the Eternal Star level, there's no need to invite him."

The girl in the group whispered, "But my sixth sense tells me that guy is really strong. Even if all of us combined, we might not be able to beat him."

"How is that possible? They're all at the Hengxing level. Do you think they're some geniuses coming from somewhere for training?"

"Maybe I'm just imagining things—"

They walked and transmitted their voices, thinking that Su Jing couldn't hear them. However, Su Jing heard everything. After all, his mental power was no longer just for show. He only glanced at the muscular man named Nathan and didn't make any other unnecessary movements. His current strength was undeniable. He was just there to bluff his way into the trainee mercenary assessment. Among a group of constant-star level beings, he was truly invincible!

After all, there are only a handful of Eternal Stars like him who have mastered the laws, even in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, let alone someone you would encounter here.

After paying 10,000 spirit coins, Su Jing successfully applied and received the specific assessment task. He bought three maps along the way and headed towards the spaceship's docking point. As for Radiant Star, there was nothing left to attract him.
