Everyone's playing Red Giant? I, Black Hole, devour everything!

Two spots available!

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire class fell silent instantly, and even their breathing became heavier!

Many people have even started to fantasize.

But people quickly calmed down.

Because everyone knows that these two spots have nothing to do with them.

Only a handful of people are truly qualified to compete.

"The selection process is simple, yet brutal," Zhao Yan continued. "After you return and enter the observation chamber, you will officially awaken as observers! After a three-day growth period, you will directly enter the star sector competition!"

"And the qualification for admission is directly linked to the ranking in the first week of the Star Region Championship."

"Among all the newly awakened observers at Lancheng High School, the two with the highest star sector rankings will automatically receive guaranteed admission quotas."

As soon as Zhao Yan finished speaking, all eyes in the class turned to the three people.

Lin Tian, ​​Lu Xuejian, Wang Hao!

These three people are recognized as the strongest among the new Awakened Observers of Lancheng High School this year.

It could even be said that they are undoubtedly the three strongest people in the entire Lan City!

If anyone has a chance to get a guaranteed admission spot, it can only be these three people; no one else has a chance at all.

"Judging from this, it seems that Lu Xuejian has basically secured one spot."

"I think so too. Second in the whole school, with such a strong background, I even think she could go to Xinghua University without this spot!"

"I really don't know what kind of luck Lancheng has to have such a young lady in class with us."

Lu Xuejian, the school beauty of Lancheng High School, is the eldest daughter of the Lu's Star Mine Group.

The family controls dozens of complete star mine mining chains, and in terms of comprehensive evaluation, they rank among the top three in Lancheng and the entire Tiannan Province!

Regardless of their background or talent, they are all top-tier.

Unfortunately, despite her exceptional talent, Lu Xuejian has never won first place in the past three years, losing to the same person every time.

Lin Tian.

A boy who has nothing but good grades.

Nevertheless, people are almost certain.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lu Xuejian is almost certain to secure one of these guaranteed admission spots.

The remaining one will be decided between Lin Tian and Wang Hao.

Although Wang Hao is firmly in third place, his performance is still far behind that of Lin Tian and Lu Xuejian.

It all depends on whether Wang Hao has a stronger background or Lin Tian has greater strength.

……

Wang Hao's expression was not good, because his score was third out of the three!

In normal competition, he could not possibly beat Lin Tian and Lu Xuejian.

However, Project Star Seed was too important for him to give up!

As a member of the family, Wang Hao was well aware of the prestige of Xinghua University.

Although the Wang family controls two star mine chains and is considered a prominent family in Lancheng, that's only within Lancheng.

There are far too many families like this in the Great Xia Kingdom!

In terms of ranking, the Wang family can't even squeeze into the top 1,000 in the entire Great Xia Kingdom!

The best way to help the Wang family rise to prominence is for him to enter Xinghua University.

The connections and resources there are beyond the Wang family's imagination. Even if they only achieve a little success, the return to the family is extremely generous!

How many powerful families started their rise from Xinghua University?

Its high gold content is evident.

However, Xinghua University only has two spots available for guaranteed admission.

Lu Xuejian is determined to have one; no one can take her away.

Therefore, if Wang Hao wants to get a spot, he can only try to get it from Lin Tian.

Ring ring ring—

Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

Zhao Yan announced that school was over, and people began to leave in a sparse manner.

"Project Star Seed... Damn, two spots, I wouldn't even dare to dream of it."

"Lu Xuejian is definitely one of them, and the remaining one will be contested between Lin Tian and Wang Hao."

"To be honest, there's not much suspense, is there? Lin Tian beat Wang Hao like it was his own son in the simulation battle."

"That's true, but what's Wang Hao's family background? When it comes to competing for rankings, he'll have plenty of tricks up his sleeve."

"That's true. With the Wang family's resources piling up, who knows what will happen in the end?"

……

Hearing the discussions around him, Lin Tian didn't say anything. At this moment, he just wanted to get home as soon as possible and awaken his observer identity.

"Lin, you genius, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Just then, a voice rang out behind Lin Tian.

Lin Tian paused, turned around, and saw a figure.

It was Wang Hao.

Lin Tian's gaze remained calm as he slowly spoke, "What is it?"

Upon seeing this, Wang Hao smiled and said, "Of course something's up! You know what the Star Seed Project that Teacher Zhao mentioned is all about, right?"

"I know, so what?"

"Now that you know, that makes things easier. The two guaranteed admission spots will definitely be chosen from the three of us: you, me, and Lu Xuejian. Neither of us should touch Lu Xuejian's spot, and as for the remaining one..."

"Lin Tian, ​​I won't beat around the bush with you. Once the Star Sector Championship begins, it'll be a real battle for rankings, and I'm no match for you."

"But I must get into Xinghua University!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian immediately understood what Wang Hao was planning, but his expression remained unchanged: "And then?"

"Let's make a deal." Wang Hao held up one finger and said slowly, "Ten thousand star coins, for you to log in to the game again in three days. I can send the money right now, without wasting a minute."

Log in three days later—this condition doesn't seem too unreasonable.

It only gives up three days of development time, and it seems that there is still room to catch up later.

But the reality is not like that at all.

In Universe Online, every second counts!

The quality of your development in the first three days almost determines your future potential!

This is why there is a three-day protection period for newcomers; it is the will of the universe protecting every novice observer.

Otherwise, once many observers enter the competition, they will almost certainly be swallowed up by others, and the landscape of "Cosmos Online" will be fixed.

Even assuming it wasn't swallowed up by others, the total amount of nebula resources in the sector is still fixed.

Whoever gets there first gets to occupy a better area, and those who come later can only follow behind and eat their dust!

Moreover, Hengxing's growth has a strong snowball effect.

Once someone else starts snowballing your lead, it's almost impossible to catch up.

It's fair to say that the three-day beginner protection period is the lifeline for every observer!

However, Wang Hao wanted to spend 10,000 star coins to buy out his three days.

The loss is far more than just three days.

That's the ceiling of the entire future!

Lin Tian almost laughed in anger: "You call this a transaction?"

Wang Hao's smile faded slightly: "Not satisfied with the price? Then how about 20,000? 20,000 star coins, that'll be enough for you to live comfortably for several years."

"Fuck you!" Lin Tian said coldly, "Wang Hao, you think too highly of yourself to buy out my future with ten thousand star coins?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Wang Hao's face disappeared.

His gaze turned icy cold.

"Lin Tian, ​​I advise you not to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! You think you're all set just because you're good at simulation battles? Let me tell you, once we enter the Universe Online, not only will I be able to compete with you normally, I can also have someone devour your entire planet!"

"Are you going to pay for this spot or not?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to freeze.

In "Cosmos Online," observers compete in many ways: gravity, temperature, brightness, and even by crashing into each other's stars, exposing their cores, and using each other to strengthen themselves.

However, there is one method that is opposed by countless people—the star-devouring.

This is the cruelest revenge in the entire online universe!

Once your star is devoured by the other party, you will be directly expelled by the will of the universe and lose your status as an awakened one.

At that time, all resources, growth, and accumulation will be wiped out, leaving us with nothing!

Moreover, he will not be able to awaken again for ten years!

Their status and position plummeted, and they never had a chance to rise again!

Even if you survive for ten years and wait for the second awakening, this awakening will not have a protection period.

It's like sending an infant directly to the battlefield of World War II!

How can we compete with others like this?

It's practically a death sentence!

Countless geniuses perished because their stars were swallowed up, never to rise again.

This threat is undeniably vicious!

However, Lin Tian ignored him completely, even revealing a slight smile and a mocking expression: "Want to devour me? Fine, I'll wait three days and see how you devour me then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tian ignored Wang Hao and left.

Wang Hao's face instantly turned ashen.

He didn't expect that Lin Tian would not be intimidated by his threats at all!

It's important to understand that his threat wasn't unfounded.

Although his strength is not as good as Lin Tian's, with the Wang family's background, it would be too easy for him to find someone to devour a novice Star!

How dare Lin Tian refuse him?

"Fine...fine! Fuck your mother! Lin Tian, ​​you've got guts. Let's see if you can still laugh in three days!" Wang Hao said angrily, watching Lin Tian's departing figure.
