We'll be having the essence gathering tonight at 8 pm!

"Mhm!" Ye Chong nodded.
"Haha, an applicant! Ah, I misunderstood, I misunderstood! "The middle-aged man rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
"What did you misunderstand?" Ye Chong asked.
"Haha." The middle-aged man looked even more embarrassed, and tried to cover it up with a laugh, but Ye Chong was still staring at him, and could only explain awkwardly, "I, I thought you were from the Sanctuary!"
"From the Sanctuary?" Ye Chong was curious.
"Mhm, usually people as young as you here are mostly from the Sanctuary. After so many years, this is the first time I've seen such a young applicant! "The middle-aged man showed great curiosity towards Ye Chong.
"Why are young people usually from the Sanctuary?" Ye Chong could not make a definite connection between youth and the Sanctuary.
"All the detainees here are applicants who passed the Level 3 Trial but not the Level 5 Trial. Usually, applicants of this standard are above 35 years old, with very few in their twenties. The common young people here are the elites of the Sanctuary. That's why I misunderstood just now! "The middle-aged man saw Ye Chong's confusion, and explained patiently.
"You don't like the Sanctuary?" Ye Chong asked straightforwardly. While he was ignorant of the ways of the world, he could still sense the hostility from the middle-aged man.
"Hmph, the Sanctuary? Who among the detainees here would like the Sanctuary? "The middle-aged man looked resentful.
Ye Chong could tell that this was not a good topic, so he tactfully changed the topic, "Then how did you recognize me as an applicant?"
"Hah, that's too easy, mainly because I didn't notice it at first, hehe, or else I would've seen it. That travel wristband on your hand, only us detainees have that. I've never seen the Sanctuary's ID badge before, but they never wear it. "The middle-aged man laughed heartily, looking rather pleased with himself.
"Besides, you don't even know what the Nine Gates point is, so you must be a first-time applicant. Hehe, this godforsaken place, unless you're an applicant or a member of the Sanctuary, no one can enter! "The middle-aged man spoke with certainty.
"I see!" Ye Chong understood.
He studied Ye Chong from head to toe and said, "Young man, you look like an honest man. Don't wander around here. The most likely place for you to go is Ancient Heaven Arrival City. You should honestly go back and prepare for the exam. Maybe if you can pass the third rank, you can still stay here. "
"Ancient Heaven Arrival City? What is that place? "Ye Chong asked.
"Heavens! Your guide is too irresponsible, isn't he? Why don't you know anything? Since when did the Sanctuary become so perfunctory about this? "The middle-aged man's face was full of disbelief.
"I just arrived today, just got off the ship," Ye Chong explained.
"No wonder, it turns out to be a little fellow who can't keep his cool! Hehe, then I will tell you. You'll have to start from the first level. If you don't even pass the first level, then you'll be punished by the Sanctuary. Hmm, as for what the punishment is, I don't know. If you pass the Level 1 Exam but fail the Level 3 Exam, you will be sent to the Ancient Heaven Destination City. If you pass the Level 3 Exam but fail the Level 5 Exam, you will be kept in Nine Gates City. Hehe, if you really pass the Level 5 Exam, then you will be allowed to leave the Orbits, and they will send a ship to send you out. Do you understand? Young man! "The middle-aged man explained in detail to Ye Chong.
"I see." Ye Chong began to understand. He asked again, "Then what are Nine Gates points?"
"Nine Gates points are your contribution points to Nine Gates City, and also the currency of Nine Gates City." The middle-aged man said, "For example, this Eden-IV you're looking at costs only 5 Nine Gates points."
"Hmm." Ye Chong nodded in understanding. This was not much different from what he had guessed.
Just then, the travel wristband on Ye Chong's left wrist suddenly buzzed. Seeing Ye Chong's confused expression, the middle-aged man quickly reminded Ye Chong, "Someone's calling you! Sigh, you don't even know how to use this and you're out here? I'm impressed! Look, that leaf over there is the button! "The middle-aged man pointed at a leaf carved with vines beside the holographic projection hole.
Ye Chong quickly pressed on the leaf pointed by the middle-aged man. Beep! A soft sound. Wei Xi's image immediately appeared above the holographic projection hole. Wei Xi's beautiful face was shrunk a few times, hovering above the holographic projection hole. At the same time, Wei Xi's gentle voice was heard, "Mr. Ye, please return immediately. There are some changes in the exam. Please return to the Sanctuary's examination base immediately. "Wei Xi's voice was gentle as usual, but there was an unquestionable tone.
"Erm, where's the Sanctuary's examination base?" Ye Chong asked.
Wei Xi then remembered that Ye Chong did not even know the location of the examination base. She was flustered, lowering her head to search quickly on the photon processor in front of her. Her demeanor from earlier was gone. The middle-aged man saw Wei Xi's flustered behavior in the holographic projection, and could not help but sympathize with her. Such a gentle young lady, to have such an applicant, how unfortunate.
After a long while, Wei Xi finally lifted her head and said, her expression returning to her previous calm, "Erm, erm, Mr. Ye, this is the exact location of the Sanctuary's examination base!" Wei Xi sent over a holographic map of the examination base.
"Oh!" Ye Chong nodded, and began to browse through the holographic map.
The middle-aged man could not stand it anymore, and dragged Ye Chong to the door. The moment the middle-aged man approached Ye Chong, Ye Chong, who never liked people getting too close to him, instinctively wanted to move away, but he suddenly remembered that Wei Xi was still watching, and that would expose his strength. Besides, the middle-aged man should not be malicious. Ye Chong thought quickly, and suppressed his urge to move away, letting the middle-aged man grab him.
The middle-aged man's behavior also surprised Wei Xi in the holographic projection.
The middle-aged man who dragged Ye Chong to the door pointed at a building across the street and said to Ye Chong, "I'm speechless at the two of you. There, that's the examination base! It's so close, why would you need a map? "
Wei Xi in the holographic projection blushed, but Ye Chong did not feel anything. "Oh." The middle-aged man was defeated by Ye Chong's expression, and waved his hand, "Go!"
Ye Chong replied with a "Hmm" and left. He did not notice that the holographic communication device on his wrist was not turned off, and Wei Xi's holographic projection was swaying along with Ye Chong's left hand with a dull expression.
To avoid another embarrassment, Wei Xi came to the entrance of the building to welcome Ye Chong.
Ye Chong's room, according to Wei Xi, was under Ye Chong's control during the examination period.
Wei Xi spoke with a serious expression, "Mr. Ye, there were some special circumstances this time. The masters who hosted the examination had other tasks, so we decided to go with Plan No.5!"
"Oh." Ye Chong's expression was unmoved, and he was still expressionless. Seeing that Ye Chong was not surprised by the news, Wei Xi was impressed by his mental fortitude, and at the same time, seeing Ye Chong's speechless expression, Wei Xi felt a little angry.
Wei Xi was an elite non-combatant of the Sanctuary, and she quickly noticed her emotional fluctuations. She blamed herself, and her expression became more serious.
"Plan No.5 will be based on a free-living method. For every applicant, the Sanctuary will allocate a corresponding amount of starting capital according to his previous contributions to the Sanctuary. It is commonly known as Nine Gates points, and it is the currency of Nine Gates City. It is also a number that reflects your contribution to the Sanctuary. The objective of this test is that everyone has to earn 1,000 points within three months. In other words, the number of Nine Gates points in your personal account must be the amount of your startup capital plus 1,000 points.
Please note, it is forbidden to resell any items on the market to obtain Nine Gates points. Every transaction you make will be monitored by the Sanctuary. If anyone is found to be reselling items to obtain Nine Gates points, they will be disqualified from the examination and will be severely punished!
Your final examination result will be determined by the number of Nine Gates points you earn, and the value of your works during this period.
There are many ways to earn Nine Gates points. The most common way is to sell your works to the Sanctuary, and the Sanctuary will give you a number of Nine Gates points corresponding to the value of your works. Another way is to sell your works in the market, in exchange for corresponding Nine Gates points. This is the main way for non-combatants to earn Nine Gates points.
However, I would like to remind you that there is a huge difference in the price of your works, between ordinary works and creative works of high quality! Therefore, if possible, producing works of high quality is your best choice.
In addition, if you provide your unique formulas, ideas, and concepts to the Sanctuary, the Sanctuary will also give you corresponding Nine Gates points according to their value. The Sanctuary will give you a very high number of Nine Gates points in this area. If you have a unique theoretical system, you can submit it to the Sanctuary, and after being verified by the masters, not only will you receive an extremely high number of Nine Gates points, you will also pass this examination.
The difficulty of this examination is Level 3. If you are able to earn a thousand points in Nine Gates City within three months through your ability to participate in the examination, it means that you will be able to live a smooth life in Nine Gates City. The detainees in Nine Gates City are all applicants who have passed the Level 3 examination. There is no market for low quality items here, so if you wish to complete your goal, you must produce high quality items. Therefore, we have set its level at Level 3.
If you pass this examination, you will be able to participate in the lower examination. If you do not pass, depending on your performance during the examination, we will choose to send you to Ancient Terminus City, or give you a certain degree of punishment.
The photon processor in your room can be directly connected to the market, and you can purchase the materials you need from there. If it is not available, you can report it to the Sanctuary, and the Sanctuary will try their best to provide it to you, but the cost will be very high.
Hmm, since you have provided the Sanctuary with three special mechs, the Sanctuary will give you contribution points, which is the starting capital, as … "
Wei Xi lowered her head to look at the information. When she saw the number, her starry eyes showed a strong sense of disbelief.
"400 points!" The three words came out of Wei Xi's mouth with great difficulty.
400 points!
How could such a young man have such a high start-up capital?! This was unbelievable! What kind of mysterious occupation was the Skeleton Carver? What was so special about this expressionless guy? What kind of mechs were these three special mechs that were worth four hundred and nine Kai points?
Countless questions swirled in Wei Xi's mind!
