*****
It was the first time Ye Chong witnessed the power of an alchemist. However, it was not a pleasant experience since the test subject was himself. While he did not suffer any losses or injuries from the beginning to the end, he was still frustrated. He did not like the feeling of not being in control of his own fate. What dissatisfied him the most was that his vigilance was so poor. If he could summon Shang at the last moment, the outcome would have been completely different. However, his confusion and hesitation at that time had caused him to lose the last chance to turn defeat into victory.
Ye Chong could not help but change his original plan. Ye Chong had planned to learn alchemy from Lunatic Guan, at least until he was a beginner. After that, he would go to the Sanctuary to apply for the test, and find a way to leave the Orbits. If he could not pass the test, he would have to think of another way. However, it was easy to enter the Orbits, but difficult to leave. All starships that entered the Orbits were turned over to the Sanctuary. Without starships, it would be wishful thinking to leave the Orbits. Even if Ye Chong went to the outermost planet of the Orbits, Planet Crimson Brilliance, the closest route to it had been abandoned for many years. Encountering a starship would be like waiting for death.
The situation had changed, and Ye Chong had to bring forward the test to the Sanctuary.
Lunatic Guan had destroyed all the information in the photon processor before she left. Ye Chong felt that it was a pity that the equipment and reagents used by alchemists were not very rare, but there were so many of them that even if they could be bought, they would still cost a lot of money. However, Ye Chong had never been rich.
Ye Chong returned to the old man and told him that Lunatic Guan had left. The old man sighed and said only one sentence, "What a tough life!" The old man seemed to know something, but Ye Chong was not curious enough to pry.
"This is the formula for the strengthening fluid." Ye Chong took out a chip.
The old man waved his hand and said, "Leave it to Hei Zi!" He turned back to his things.
Hei Zi was a poor learner. Ye Chong gave him the formula, but he did not know how to make it. Ye Chong had no choice but to teach him how to make the strengthening fluid.
In the night, Ye Chong took a deep look at the place that brought him warmth. Little Nan Nan should be asleep right now, and Blackie should be doing something. The old man should still be working hard in the underground studio. He had just placed the chip with some basic mech theories on the table. It was the only thing he could give Hei Zi that could help him. In front of little Nan Nan's bed, Ye Chong placed a red bone cap he made himself.
"Ye, are you sure you don't want to say goodbye to them?" Shang asked.
"Mhm, there's no need!" Ye Chong replied plainly, and ran into the night without looking back, towards the nearest sanctuary.
"Why?"
"…"
Yan Bingxuan lay on the bed, deep in thought. Recently, he had been very annoyed. A while ago, he was searching for a thief who allegedly stole from the Sanctuary, and the entire Orbits had been thrown into chaos. Furthermore, there were rumors circulating internally that this person had yet to be captured. It was said that a mech pilot had died in his hands! Ye Chong was speechless. What a remarkable person, to be able to steal from the Sanctuary, and judging from the reaction of the Sanctuary, it must be no small fry. However, as for the rumor of a mech pilot being killed in the Sanctuary, he did not quite believe it. Back then, he had tried so hard but still failed the pilot selection, and ended up as a patrol. Would a mech pilot from the Sanctuary be killed so easily? He thought disdainfully. The mech pilots of the Sanctuary were not like those trash from the outside.
However, he still had to thank that thief. If it was not for that search, he would not have known that that d * mned Old Ge had taken in a disciple. Yan Bingxuan thought of that young man. While he was a little scrawny, he was definitely made for being a skeleton carver. Who would have thought that the stubborn old man could still have such a good disciple at his age. Hehe, this young man was not bad. He actually gave me such a great gift. Ye Chong thought of the excited expressions on the upper echelons when they received the three mechs. I heard that they were personally tested by the famous ace, Lady Feng Su. What an honor! Old Ge said that these were only half-finished products. Who would have thought that this half-finished product would allow him to be promoted three times in a row, and make many jealous! He could not help but feel proud of himself. Neon Sheath Di Hui Si Mei captured the Panqinwei Hen, he must capture this old hen well. Thinking of his bright future, Yan Bingxuan felt like stars were flying before his eyes.
Damn it, it was a pity that he had used up all his luck recently. He had just been promoted to patrol, and now something happened in his district! A traitor from the Elite Squad had escaped into his district, escaped from the pursuit of an entire combat squad, and killed a mech pilot! Heavens, had the world really changed? How could there be a traitor in the Sanctuary? And it was from the noble Elite Squad. Was this guy crazy?
The Elite Squad … Yan Bingxuan shuddered at the thought of the traitor being from the Elite Squad. That was a monster from the Elite Squad! He was just a small patrol, and he would not even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth! Yan Bingxuan may look rough, but he was actually very meticulous. Those who did not know the truth would be easily fooled by his appearance. When he saw the overwhelming number of Dawn mechs coming to support him, he protected himself even more carefully. Even with so many mechs, they could not even catch a single hair of the traitor. He was glad that he did not encounter that terrifying guy.
The Dawn mechs had finally retreated. His superior had given him an order to stay alert, and report to his superior if anything happened. Yan Bingxuan was well aware of this order. Although he appeared to be respectful when he was being lectured, he did not think much of it. He was not that stupid. His life was more important than anything else.
The storm was finally over, and he could have a good rest. He knew that he had been promoted too quickly, and there were too many people who were jealous of him. There were also too many people waiting to see him make a fool of himself. If he was not careful, he would fall just as quickly as he rose up.
Just when he thought that he could finally heave a sigh of relief, the comms device on his desk rang. His heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
"What?" He was shocked when he received the report from his subordinate!
It was the first time Ye Chong visited the local Sanctuary. The Sanctuary's building was not overly decorated. Like most of the houses in the Orbits, it was made of bricks and wood, but much bigger. The exterior was covered with a layer of unknown green vines, which added a sense of nature to the place.
He entered a large hall. There were four stone pillars in the center of the hall, and the green vines wrapped around them. There were not many people in the hall, and it looked spacious. Other than the comms device, Ye Chong did not see any other high-tech products. It seemed that the Sanctuary was against high-tech products! Ye Chong muttered to himself.
There was a counter in the hall, facing the door. A young man was lying on the counter, looking like he was asleep. Ye Chong's footsteps were light, and the young man did not notice him even when he reached the counter.
"What an unprofessional guy!" Shang commented in dissatisfaction.
Ye Chong reached out his finger and knocked on the table twice.
The young man finally woke up. He struggled to open his sleepy eyes, and looked around blankly. His unfocused eyes finally focused on Ye Chong. He suddenly remembered that he was on duty at the Sanctuary. The young man stood up hurriedly, and spoke incoherently, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry … Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" The young man was obviously new to the Sanctuary, and still had the courtesy to others.
The young man was curious. After all, people rarely came to the Sanctuary. Most of the visitors were mentalists or mech pilots, who usually came for official business. The person before him was obviously not one of them. While he had only been in the Sanctuary for a short time, he could still tell the difference between the two. Mentalists would only wear light green robes while mech pilots would wear neat mech uniforms with a proud look on their faces. The man in front of him looked calm and composed, which was similar to those old mentalists. However, the clothes he was wearing were not the light green robes he was wearing.
Besides, it was midnight. Why would he come to the Sanctuary in the middle of the night? The young man was curious.
"I would like to apply for the Sanctuary's Level 5 Trial!" Ye Chong said plainly.
"Ah!" The young man gasped, and panicked, "Ah … Please wait!" The young man stumbled to the comms and dialed the district chief's number. He stuttered as he reported everything that had happened.
Ye Chong's hearing was amazing. He could hear every word the young man said clearly. The young man's eyes darted at him from time to time, and Ye Chong found it interesting.
"What an impatient fellow!" Shang gave a very disdainful evaluation.
Yan Bingxuan piloted his mech and rushed towards the Sanctuary. He was just as surprised and curious as the young man on duty. Both of them did not know what the Sanctuary's Level 5 Trial meant, so they did not feel anything. Yan Bingxuan had been a patrol officer for more than a decade, and this was the first time he saw someone applying for the Sanctuary's Level 5 Trial. When the Sanctuary first introduced the Level 5 Trial, there was a flood of applicants. In the first year, only two passed. In the second year, only one passed. In the third year, it was even more ridiculous. Not a single one passed. Slowly, people came to know that it was extremely difficult to pass the Sanctuary's Level 5 Trial. It was impossible to pass without being the best in the field. This led to a sharp decline in the number of applicants for the Level 5 Trial.
Yan Bingxuan had been a patrol officer for more than a decade, and there were no applicants in the area. He did hear that a few years ago, there was a doctor from a district not far from here who applied, but was eliminated at the last stage.
Those who dared to apply for the Level 5 Trial were those who were extremely confident in their abilities. Yan Bingxuan was curious since he did not know about such a person in his district.
