Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

"Rolando, how many points did you win this time?"

"Yes, how much did you win? Show us."

The two flew to Rolando with a smile, and looked over when they saw the light screen in front of him.

But when they saw the content on the light screen, their expressions changed drastically!

"Defeated!"

"This! How is it possible!"

The reason why the two were like this was because the light screen said that Rolando was defeated and lost 50 points!

One student was stunned by the content on the light screen and didn't know what to say for a while, "Rolando, you..."

"What's going on? Rolando! How could you lose so many points?"

Another student was very surprised. He didn't expect Rolando to bet so many points and lose!

"I lost! I lost convincingly!"

Rolando came back to his senses and said in a deep voice to the two people's questions: "The newcomer is a planetary genius that appears once every hundred years in the Star Training Camp!"

"What!"

"Planetary genius!"

The two were shocked and some couldn't believe it!

Planetary genius, what a dazzling genius, they actually met one.

This level of genius would be wooed by major forces in their medium-sized universe, and the high-ranking domain lords and realm lords might also recruit him personally!

Even in the Sand Sea Star Star Training Camp, which is full of geniuses, the last planetary genius appeared thousands of years ago.

A student asked: "Since he is a planetary genius, why would you bet with him, and bet so much?"

"Yes!"

Another student echoed: "50 points, equivalent to the reward of half a trial task."

"Alas..."

Rolando sighed: "At first, I didn't know he was a planetary genius.

"Seeing that he was at the eighth level of the planetary level, I thought he was a direct descendant of a large family, but I didn't expect..."

Speaking of this, he regretted it a little, "Originally I only planned to bet 20 points.

"But I didn't expect that the new guy had some tricks. He claimed that 20 points were too few, so he would bet 50 points, half of the initial points, and asked me if I dared.

"At that time, I thought that with my strength, I had a high chance of winning against a new guy, so I agreed.

"As you can see, I lost."

Rolando shook his head helplessly, "I didn't know he was a planetary genius, because we were both spiritualists, I wanted to defeat him quickly with the advantage of close combat.

"But as soon as I got close to him, he opened his field, and I was caught off guard and defeated in an instant! "

After listening to Rolando's words, the two students looked at each other after understanding the whole story. They could see sympathy in each other's eyes.

They thought that the ravaged Lark was unlucky enough, but they didn't expect Rolando to be even more unlucky!

Rolando coveted the newcomer's points, but he didn't expect that the other party was a planetary genius, and he was also coveting his points, and wanted more!

"I lost this time..."

A student was about to comfort Rolando, but saw a white light flashing in the corner of his eye.

He stopped talking and turned his head to see a black-haired boy with a somewhat immature face.

"So young?"

He looked at his companion in confusion, but he also had the same expression.

Now they understood why Rolando was tricked. The appearance of this newcomer was too deceptive!

Li Qi looked at the blue-haired young man Rolando and there were two people around him, so he asked, "Are you Rolando's friends?"

"Yes!"

Being questioned by the planetary genius, the two nodded subconsciously.

Li Qi had a humble look on his face, "I have something to talk to Rolando about, you guys..."

"Oh! We have something else to do."

"You guys chat!"

The two answered one after the other, and then turned into two white lights and left.

Rolando felt a little pain watching the two disappear quickly, "These two guys!"

Li Qi smiled, "Let's chat."

"I think we have nothing to talk about!"

Looking at the newcomer with a smile on his face, Rolando remembered the 50 points that left him.

Li Qi smiled as usual, "20 points."

"Hmm?"

Rolando was puzzled, "What 20 points?"

"I use 20 points to buy the information of the Star Training Camp."

"Why should I sell it to you?"    Rolando's expression changed slightly, "This new guy is really amazing. He actually knows to collect the information of the Star Training Camp now."

"20 points earned for free, I think many old students are willing to earn it."

Li Qi showed an indifferent expression, "I found you because we are face to face now. If you don't want to, I can buy it from someone else."

Rolando struggled internally. He had already lost 50 points. If he couldn't recover some of the losses, it would be a big loss.

Especially when he thought that this new guy used the 20 points that belonged to him to buy the information of other old students, he felt that he was losing a lot!

Rolando, who couldn't bear his own loss, agreed, "20 points! I'll sell you the information!"

"Then let's go to another place."

Li Qi said, and issued a 20-point gambling invitation.

The light screen popped up, Rolando clicked to accept, and the two turned into white light and disappeared.

...

Battle space

The sky was blue with white clouds.

The ground was green with endless grassland.

Li Qi slowly descended from the sky and sat cross-legged on the grass.

On the other side, Rolando flew over quickly and flew over after seeing Li Qi on the ground.

He landed in front of Li Qi and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will break my promise?"

Li Qi smiled and said: "After all, he is a genius who has entered the stellar training camp. 20 points is not enough."

Although he was a little unhappy with the newcomer, Rolando had to think that he was right. He would not break his promise to offend a planet-level genius for nothing just for 20 points.

The information on the Stellar Training Camp is very precious to newcomers, but common to veteran students. Selling it for 20 points is a good deal.

Rolando asked: "What information do you want to know?"

Li Qi replied: "Let's start with the trial mission."

"As for trial tasks, there are three types."

Rolando told the information, "The simplest is the collection mission, which is mainly to collect medicinal materials, minerals and ferocious beast materials.

"This type of task is relatively simple. You only need to collect according to the task requirements. After collecting enough materials for the basic task, you can get basic points. If you want to get more points, you need to complete additional collection tasks."

"Because this type of task has no other restrictions except time, and the collection of materials is not highly repetitive, the students are relatively peaceful and rarely fight, so the safety is very high."

After talking about the collection tasks, Rolando continued: "The slightly more difficult ones are patrol tasks, which are smuggling inspections, border patrols and fixed-point guarding within the empire.

"Of these tasks, fixed-point guarding is the safest, but it takes a long time. The minimum task time limit is one year, the point rewards are not high, and there are few additional rewards."

Rolando paused and said: "Border patrols and smuggling inspections are more dangerous, but with a cosmic-level expert as the captain, safety is guaranteed as long as we don't act rashly.

"However, the two missions can sometimes be very dangerous. When encountering a stubborn and powerful smuggling ship, people will die if they are not careful.

"I heard that decades ago, stellar field geniuses in two other stellar training camps died during border patrol missions. For this reason, the empire eliminated the domain lord family behind the smuggling ship."

Hearing this, Li Qi felt a chill in his heart and asked aloud: "What was the name of the genius in the stellar field who died in battle decades ago?"

"I'm not sure what the name is either."

Rolando was a little unsure, "It seems to be called Ro...Ron."

Li Qi's heart sank, "It is indeed the second father."

He remembered that the elders in the family said that his second father, Ron Royce, died during a trial mission in the Stellar Training Camp.

Abandoned by his trusted friends, he faced the cosmic-level slave trader leader alone. He was later killed when his wife came to the rescue and chose to die in battle, otherwise he could have escaped with his strength.

And the person who betrayed his second father also died in a subsequent trial mission.

Rolando asked in confusion: "Why do you ask this?"

"Nothing, just asking casually."

Li Qi shook his head, "You continue."

Rolando was a little suspicious, but didn't ask further.

After sorting out his mood, he said in a deep voice: "The third type of trial mission is extremely dangerous. It is the type of trial mission with the highest mortality rate. It is called the hunting mission!"

Li Qi frowned and asked, "How high is the mortality rate?"

Rolando replied with an ugly expression: "I have only participated in one hunting mission. The mortality rate in that trial mission was more than 20%, which is considered low."

"A mortality rate of more than 20% is considered low, but the 47% mortality rate in the Stellar Training Camp is true!"

Li Qi's heart sank and he asked: "What are the conditions needed to leave the Star Training Camp?"

"Generally, students can leave after completing the first three trial missions within five years. If they choose to stay, they must complete the hunting mission before leaving."

Rolando replied: "Students who have signed a special agreement and those born on the planet cultivated by the Lava Empire need to complete ten trial missions, which means they must participate in two to three hunting missions before they can leave."

Finally, Rolando added: "There is another way to leave the stellar training camp..."

If things get better tomorrow, I should be able to update two chapters.
