Wang Ye filled in the information and verified his identity.
The examinations of the Supreme Human Academy were held in the virtual cosmic.
The examinees would be given an anonymous exam account to enter the virtual cosmic, forgoing the requirement of one having to be a 1-star cosmic citizen.
Of course, other than entering the examination hall of the Supreme Human Academy, they couldn’t use the other functions of the virtual cosmic with that account.
“Beep!”
The data was connected, and Wang Ye looked at the selection interface that appeared in front of him.
“Medical Department, Research Department, History Department, Cosmic Department…” These were the departments that one could register for, and one could choose any to take the assessment.
Every department had different assessment requirements. Other than the compulsory basic knowledge, there would also be an additional professional assessment.
“They’re all hard!” Wang Ye browsed through them one by one.
The knowledge of the Great Cosmic Era was vast.
Furthermore, cosmic humans had a long lifespan, so they had a very long time to learn.
No wonder the school fees were paid once a decade.
In the Supreme Human Academy, one would basically have to stay in school for more than a hundred years.
“War Department? Military Strategy Department?” Wang Ye found a department that he could barely get into among the hundreds of departments and looked at its introduction.
There were countless races in the cosmic, and humans weren’t the strongest.
This was especially severe as the human territories intersected with those of two other great races, namely the demons and the devils. All three parties were at war all year round, so the humans were very eager for war and military strategy talents.
The War Department was more focused on overall planning. One would stand in an overall position and use various methods to lead a war, a little like the emperors and civil officials in ancient times.
The Military Strategy Department focused more on the deployment of troops on the spot. One would lead an army to fight the enemy head-on, which made one more like a general and a strategist.
“Let’s try the Military Strategy Department.” Wang Ye made his choice.
The War Department also required a huge amount of knowledge.
In comparison, the Military Strategy Department focused more on direct combat, adaptability on the battlefield, and most importantly… it was more interesting!
Either way, he wasn’t taking the exam with the hope of getting into the Supreme Human Academy.
He was just accompanying Xin Ran for the exam, so he should just have fun while he was at it.
After a while, they were done with the registration.
The Supreme Human Academy had a unified assessment that would be held once every 10 cosmic days. The registration deadline was three days before the assessment.
“The assessment will be held in five cosmic days.” Wang Ye left the registration office.
“Which department did you apply for?” Xin Ran smiled at him.
“The Military Strategy Department.” Wang Ye said.
Xin Ran had an expression that said, “I knew it.”
She said, “In addition to the basic knowledge, the Military Strategy Department has three professional assessments, namely tactical attainment, personal battlefield strength, and actual combat simulation.”
“Yeah.” Wang Ye had already read about it in the introduction. “Which department did you apply for?”
“The Cosmic Department.” Xin Ran said.
Wang Ye nodded. He had already read the introduction.
The Cosmic Department was huge. It required a huge amount of knowledge and a considerable understanding of everything in the cosmic.
But it was indeed suitable for Xin Ran.
“Why do you like the Cosmic Department?” Wang Ye was very curious.
“I don’t really like it, it’s just that the Cosmic Department can broaden my horizons,” Xin Ran said. “This department looks difficult, but the difficulty of the exam is actually moderate. It doesn’t require too detailed and vast professional knowledge. It’s fine as long as one reads a lot, has a strong memory, and is interested in all aspects of affairs.”
“A springboard?” Wang Ye quickly understood.
Xin Ran hummed lightly. “After entering the Supreme Human Academy, I’ll be able to choose other subjects. I’ll lean towards the Finance Department and study the cosmic financial system. Even if I can’t get into the Class II Finance Department in a hundred years, I’ll at least be able to understand the ordinary cosmic finance.”
She was a very smart woman. She planned every step steadily while moving toward her goal, very similar to him.
After completing the registration, Xin Ran brought Wang Ye to roam the upper realm.
“What are we looking for?” Wang Ye asked.
“The factions of Taishi Starfield’s cosmic nations,” Xin Ran said.
Wang Ye was surprised. “Didn’t you say that the cosmic factions are dependent on the cosmic nations and that there won’t be a branch here?”
“That’s right,” Xin Ran said. “That being said, not having a branch doesn’t mean that they won’t come. The newly opened Milky Way Ancient Battlefield has attracted a large number of experts from Taishi Starfield. It’s not just family factions, but also cosmic factions, especially the neighboring Red River Cosmic Nation, End Mountain Cosmic Nation, Darning Cosmic Nation, and many others. Many of them are here to take a share.”
Wang Ye nodded. “To get an identity, right?”
Xin Ran hummed. “With the identity of a cosmic nation’s ordinary citizen, you can enter the virtual network of the cosmic nation and obtain a large amount of knowledge and cultivation techniques. At the same time, you can also register for a Cosmic Bank account and others that require real-name authentication. Although this may increase the risk of exposure, it will be more beneficial to you.”
Wang Ye nodded.
Without citizenship, it was difficult to do anything.
Many of the cosmic pirates in the Hurricane Pirates had no choice but to become bandits because they did not have citizenship.
Is it okay to be from a colony planet?” Wang Ye asked.
“As long as you have enough money, you can become a cosmic citizen even if you’re born a slave,” Xin Ran said. “Some small cosmic nations can even help you get a one-star cosmic citizenship.”
Wealth was divine!
“How much is it to get a 1-star cosmic citizenship?” Wang Ye wanted to enter the highest level of the human cosmic virtual network.
“Tens of thousands of cosmic dollars, depending on the difficulty. Basically, 100,000 cosmic dollars will definitely be enough,” Xin Ran said.
“What about 2-star cosmic citizenship?” This was what Wang Ye wanted to know the most.
After all, it was one of the three conditions to purchase a colony planet.
“It’s very difficult because upon entering the human virtual cosmic, one needs to undergo verification. However, if you have enough money, it can be done too. It’ll cost at least millions of cosmic dollars. If you have 100 million cosmic dollars, which is 1 dark crystal, it should be enough.”
One dark crystal could buy more than ten colony planets…
“Wasn’t the End Mountain Cosmic Nation’s Majestic Group good?” Wang Ye asked.
“The price was too high,” Xin Ran said. “An ordinary citizen of the End Mountain Cosmic Nation isn’t worth 10 cosmic dollars. He might have seen the Radiant Star Blade scabbard on your waist.”
“I’ll put it away.” Wang Ye smiled bitterly.
There were pits everywhere.
“It’s not just this,” Xin Ran said. “I’ve checked. The Majestic Group is only a beginner cosmic faction. It’s very ordinary in the Queshan Cosmic Nation. It’s too risky to let them handle it.”
This was out of worry of being cheated.
Having a reliable wife made life easy.
Soon, they got in touch with a few other cosmic nations’ factions and Xin Ran asked for their contact information as backup.
“One cosmic dollar?” Xin Ran’s eyes lit up.
“Mmhmm. If it’s urgent, I’ll help you settle it with 1.5 cosmic dollars,” A handsome man smiled and said. “My name is Yunlai Aiyi. I’m here to discuss a business deal.”
“The Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation’s Yunlai Imperial Family?” Xin Ran was shocked.
“You’re well-informed, miss,” Yunlai Aiyi said with a smile.
“You shouldn’t be short of money, right?” Xin Ran was very cautious.
Yunlai Aiyi said, “The procedure is easy. Besides, who would complain about having too much money? The most important thing is… Wanted criminals of the Red River Cosmic Nation are the favorite citizens of the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation.”
Xin Ran nodded. She had forgotten about this.
There were 105 cosmic nations in Taishi Starfield, and many were mortal enemies. The Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation and the Red River Cosmic Nation were one of them, being constantly in conflict.
They didn’t discuss much before quickly making a decision.
“Thank you very much.” Wang Ye took out 3 cosmic dollars and handed it over.
Yunlai Aiyi smiled, and the female assistant next to him reached out to take it.
They exchanged contact details and left.
“Looks like our luck is pretty good.” Xin Ran smiled.
Wang Ye nodded.
To the royal family, arranging for an ordinary citizen status was as easy as drinking water.
Even if they asked for cosmic citizenship, the other party could do it even if they were just a branch of the royal family.
Because they were basically at the top of a cosmic nation’s pyramid.
The two of them found a place to eat.
Cosmic-level warriors no longer needed to rely on food to replenish their nutrients, but eating in itself was a very enjoyable thing.
The upper realm had many rare ingredients, fine wine, delicacies, and rare beasts that Wang Ye ate to his heart’s content. The deliciousness ignited his taste buds, and the wine fragrance was intoxicating.
Just as they finished eating, Xin Ran received a message from the previous female assistant.
Wang Ye and Nante’s identities were settled.
Originally, there were many procedures, but with the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation’s royal family status, it only took a short meal time.
The other party did not change their names. It was still Wang Ye and Randt.
However, their identities were already that of the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation’s ordinary citizens, including their territory of birth, age, and everything. Everything was done neatly and flawlessly from head to toe.
They even used synthetic images to simulate all the photos of Wang Ye from birth to the present.
A “real” identity.
“These 1.5 cosmic dollars are a great deal, especially since your identity was born in a five-star territory,” Xin Ran said emotionally. “With a complete life record, it will be very helpful for you to apply to become a one-star cosmic citizen in the future.”
“How?” Wang Ye asked curiously.
Xin Ran smiled. “The simplest way is to get into the Supreme Human Academy.
With this perfect identity, you can become a one-star cosmic citizen.”
“Again.” Wang Ye was helpless.
Xin Ran refused to give up, but unless the examiner was blind, he would not be able to pass the exam.
That being said… If he could really become a 1-star cosmic citizen and enter the human virtual cosmic, it would naturally be much better than only being able to enter the Azure Mountain Virtual Network.
But that was impossible.
With the identity of a cosmic nation’s ordinary citizen, many things could be done.
Wang Ye first went to the Cosmic Bank to apply for an ordinary card and bound it to his identity.
Then, he went to Starry Sky Communications to register an account so that others could contact him easily.
After that, he went to the Anonymous Trading Center to deal with the equipment.
This was the most famous second-hand market.
All transactions were anonymous.
There were two ways to trade. The first was to sell it off at the system’s valuation, which would usually be cheaper.
The other was to put it on the shelves and wait for buyers. The price was higher.
Wang Ye divided the equipment into portions.
Dark Energy-level equipment below level 2 was sold to the system directly while those above level 3 were sold at 10% lower than the system’s estimated price.
One cosmic day later.
“The level 4 Flame Jade Spirit Chains have been sold. I have 102 cosmic dollars in my card now.” Wang Ye took a look.
“We still haven’t sold the most expensive level 4 Fire Elemental Staff.” Xin Ran nodded.
“Should the price be lower?” Wang Ye asked.
“The system’s estimated price is 155 cosmic dollars. 140 cosmic dollars is already worth it. If you weren’t in urgent need of money,” Xin Ran said. “You could easily sell it for 150 cosmic dollars.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s not much different.” Wang Ye smiled and got up. “Let’s go. Accompany me to a place.”
“Where?” Xin Ran’s beautiful eyes flickered.
“The slave market..”
