Chapter 221 - 221: star Cosmic Citizen
He passed? How?
Wang Ye felt as if he dreaming.
“In other words, 1 got 447 points in the battle just now.” Wang Ye quickly understood.
He had only been one step away from passing the last stage.
If he had been better at leading his troops and his arrangements could’ve been more meticulous, he might have been able to survive till the reinforcements arrived.
He still lacked experience.
Otherwise, he might have been able to experience what kind of battle the legendary difficulty level 7 was.
That being said, his current abilities were enough for the assessment.
With 6006 points, he had exceeded the admission score!
“This time, the ranking appeared instantly, which means 1 must have been the last to complete the battle.” Wang Ye was very satisfied with his performance. He did his best and displayed his capability without any mishaps.
He didn’t pass the sixth stage simply because he wasn’t capable enough.
Following this, Wang Ye returned to the assessment hall.
The assessment of the Supreme Human Academy would only end after all examinees were done. Then, those who passed would enter the cosmic virtual world together and leave.
There were still some candidates who had not finished.
Wang Ye wasn’t in a hurry.
There was a lot of information in the hall from the Military Strategy
Department. A historical ranking of the examinees was showcased at the side.
The first place had 12000 points, and there was more than one of them!
Among the top 10,000 examinees, the last place had 11000 points, and quite a few were tied at that rank.
“The cosmic is huge.” Wang Ye sighed.
What did 12000 points mean?
It meant that those people got full marks for all four assessments, and all 20 rounds of their third assessment must have been passed with New Star-level strength!
It was simply inconceivable.
11000 points was equivalent to passing 20 difficulty levels in a row at the level of a low-grade Cosmic Lifeform in addition to passing all stages of the combat simulation assessment!
To these top cosmic geniuses, the competition wasn’t about getting full marks, but rather how to pass the 3rd trial’s 20 stages beautifully.
“Are they hoping that the examinees who passed the assessment won’t be arrogant and complacent by showing that there’s bound to be someone better?” Wang Ye smiled and then began to read through the materials of the Military Strategy Department.
Time flew by as he was immersed in the examples of military strategies and benefited a lot.
There was actually a very similar example to the battle where he was defeated just now.
The general’s strategy had been to break out of the encirclement with his troops’ superb abilities and meet up with the reinforcements, taking back the eight-star life planet in the end.
He didn’t do that because he wasn’t confident at all.
Of course, there was no textbook on military strategies. The battlefield was treacherous, and everything had to be improvised.
Then, a countdown suddenly appeared in front of Wang Ye and he was slightly taken aback.
Soon, the scene changed. He left the human virtual cosmic and found himself back in the virtual assessment room.
The shocked faces of the other examinees gave him a sense that it had been a lifetime since he had seen them. The frustrated expressions formed a never-ending scroll.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly, two rays of light descended.
They landed on Wang Ye and Xin Ran, instantly attracting the attention of those around them.
The surrounding crowd gasped in surprise. Many experienced examinees instantly reacted.
“Two were actually accepted in this batch?”
“Oh my god, this is the first time I’ve seen two white lights descend at the same time!”
“They seem to have come together. They’re really beauty and the beast!”
Emotions of envy, jealousy, and resentment overflowed.
Getting into the Supreme Human Academy represented the possibility of transcending the hierarchy.
Even if it was the most common specialization, after graduation, one could find a stable job and obtain a 1-star cosmic citizen status, completely remolding oneself.
Of course, with Wang Ye and Xin Ran’s current citizenship level, they became one-star cosmic citizens the minute they passed.
After graduation, they would become 2-star cosmic citizens.
“Wang Ye, you passed?” Xin Ran’s beautiful eyes were round as she covered her mouth in shock.
“Can your expression be any more exaggerated…” Wang Ye complained in his heart. “Who was the one who encouraged me to work hard and say that I’ll definitely get in?”
Women were indeed not to be trusted.
“6006.” Wang Ye gestured. “I barely passed the passing line. What about you?”
6312.” Xin Ran pursed her lips, her eyes full of surprise. “You got into the popular Military Strategy Department!”
There was a difference between different departments.
For example, Xin Ran’s Cosmic Department wasn’t very practical. After graduation, she would be more involved in things like research, compiling classics, or working as a civil servant in top factions.
However, it was completely different for the Military Strategy Department.
The acceptance rate was very low because it was very practical!
Every cosmic nation needed students from the Military Strategy Department.
As soon as Xin Ran finished speaking, some of the surrounding examinees immediately started chattering as they revealed shocked expressions.
Hello, may 1 ask which cosmic nation are you from?” A luxuriously dressed youth walked over and asked.
“Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation.” Wang Ye said.
“Is that so?” The young man revealed a regretful expression.
If the other party wasn’t from any cosmic nation, they could try to recruit them.
“Brother, have you joined any factions?” Another muscular man walked over and asked.
Not yet.” Wang Ye shook his head.
“Do you want to come and try?” The muscular man smiled. “Let me introduce myself. I’m the level 5 person in charge of a human secondary faction, Mianli Winery. We need talents like you. We can give you very good conditions.”
Why would a liquor seller like them need a student from the Military Strategy Department… To sell fake wine?
“I’ll consider it.” Wang Ye said politely.
“Please give me your contact information. 1’11 send you the information.” The muscular man laughed.
Sure.”
They were surrounded by layers of people.
Even though Wang Ye couldn’t be recruited by another cosmic nation, there were still many human secondary factions, which also extended offers to Xin Ran.
They were very popular.
Wang Ye naturally wouldn’t refuse.
He gave out his contact information to whoever extended an offer to him. These were all spare tires, no, connections.
The human secondary factions were much stronger than cosmic nations.
Although they were just small managers, he might need them someday.
Moreover, if the conditions moved him, joining a human secondary force was also an option.

At the Microscopic Tea House, the rich fragrance of tea permeated the air, and the elegant tea house had an antique feel to it.
“Happy cooperation.” Yunlai Aiyi stood up, smiled, and shook hands with the person in charge of the Han Millet Mining Company, a human sub-top faction. They had signed the contract and made the final deal to mine a mineral planet together.
After sending off the other party, Yunlai Aiyi took a sip of tea and smiled.
This trip to Xiapu Planet was very smooth.
“Work is over. Everyone, take a day off and have fun.” Yunlai Aiyi smiled at his subordinates, who cheered happily and scattered in all directions.
“Is there anything else?” Yunlai Aiyi looked at the female assistant who had yet to leave.
“Sir, you really have a discerning eye.” The female assistant said in admiration.
A question mark appeared in Yunlai Aiyi’s head.
Sir, the human Wang Ye that you’ve taken a liking to has been admitted to the Supreme Human Academy’s Military Strategy Department,” The female assistant said.
Wang Ye? Who was that?
Yunlai Aiyi was stunned.
Then, he came to his senses.
“That colony planet human? The Military Strategy Department?” Yunlai Aiyi could not help but laugh.
What a pleasant surprise.
The Military Strategy Department wasn’t that easy to get into. Even many of his carefully trained followers couldn’t get in.
This time, it was just a good thing that he did it unintentionally, but it turned out to be a blessing.
“Should we recruit him, my lord?” The female assistant asked.
Yunlai Aiyi smiled and shook his head. “No need. Just send a message to congratulate him. Also, raise his citizenship status to medium-class citizen.”
“Yes, sir.” The female assistant replied.
“I remember he has two companions, right?” Yunlai Aiyi thought for a moment.
“Yes, my lord.”
“Upgrade their citizenship while you’re at it.”
“Alright. Is there really no need to recruit him, sir?” The female assistant asked again.
Yunlai Aiyi shook his head. “Someone like him was born for freedom. Once he has protection and loses the pressure, it is easy for him to lose himself and stop moving forward. Let him try his luck and help him out in the dark. Besides, we can only use him after he graduates from the Military Strategy Department.”
“Yes, Milord.”
The two of them left the assessment site together.
Wang Ye looked at Xin Ran’s hesitant expression and couldn’t help but smile. “What do you want to ask? Go ahead.”
“You… Will you go to the Supreme Human Academy?” Xin Ran looked at Wang Ye and asked softly.
“I won’t go now, but 1 can’t say for sure in the future,” Wang Ye said.
“Why?” Xin Ran didn’t understand. “As long as you graduate successfully, you’ll be a two-star cosmic citizen!”
“That’s too long. It’ll take a hundred years,” Wang Ye said. “1 can’t wait.”
By the time he graduated, his wives would have become old ladies.
Besides, it was just graduation.
First, he would have no achievement points. Second, he would have no money. How could he buy Blue Planet?
Just for face?
This was not a suitable path for him, or rather, it was not suitable for him at this stage.
“I see…” Xin Ran was very smart and nodded.
After being together for three years, she knew Wang Ye’s personality. He was a man of his word and would not budge just because of her words.
“Besides, aren’t you going?” Wang Ye laughed. “Didn’t you also say you were looking forward to the Cosmic Finance Department? Isn’t this just me dispersing my investments and avoiding risks?”
“Nonsense. So you plan to keep your student status?” Xin Ran laughed and looked at Wang Ye.
Wang Ye nodded. “The student status can be kept for ten years. During this period, I can take some online lessons in the Military Strategy Department if 1 have time. It’s not too bad to just listen and learn.”
“But after 10 years, your 1-star cosmic citizen status will be evoked,” Xin Ran said worriedly.
“Can’t 1 just take the assessment again?” Wang Ye was very relaxed.
If he could get in this time, what about ten years later?
Even getting 7000 points would not be a problem.
Moreover, ten years was enough to do a lot of things. He would have probably already obtained a permanent 1-star cosmic citizen status by then.
They returned to the Star Traveller Inn.
When the others heard that Wang Ye had entered the Supreme Human Academy, the two of them were dumbfounded.
Nante, in particular, looked at Wang Ye as if he was looking at a monster.
He was indeed a bad student, but he had thought that Wang Ye was his companion.
Had it only been his imagination? Was he the only one who was bad at studying?
“No wonder my citizenship changed all of a sudden. I went from an ordinary citizen to a medium-class citizen.” Lingling sat on the bed, swaying her fair and flawless feet.
Her citizenship changed?
Wang Ye was slightly surprised. He entered the Azure Mountain Virtual World to take a look.
As expected, his citizenship had changed as well. He was now a medium-class citizen of the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation, which made his authority in the virtual world even greater.
“Yunlai Aiyi’s female assistant just sent me a message, congratulating you on getting into the Military Strategy Department. He must have secretly helped you upgrade your citizenship,” Xin Ran said.
“Thank him for me.” Wang Ye nodded.
Although he no longer needed the identity, he would remember the favor.
He took the holographic helmet and put it on.
Upon entering the Supreme Human Academy, his identity had been verified, and he was now a 1-star cosmic citizen.
He now had the qualifications to enter the human virtual cosmic!
