The airship hovered above the villa. The cabin door opened, and a fat man in black sportswear walked out.
This fatty was less than 1.7 meters tall, but his waist circumference was more than one meter. He was a typical short and plump man with a big round face and a mustache. His eyes were squinted into a line and he looked charmingly naive, like the Maitreya Buddha.
"Who is Ling Jiu?"
Fatty looked down at the Ling Jiu family standing on the rooftop of the villa.
"I am!"
Ling Jiu stepped forward.
The fat man glanced at Ling Jiu and smiled. "I am Niu Ben, the usher of the Ultimate Matriculation Camp. Come with me."
"Alright!"
Ling Jiu nodded slightly and then looked at his family. "Dad, Mom, Xiaotong, I'm leaving. Take care of yourselves at home!"
"Xiao Jiu, you have to take care of yourself and keep in touch with your family often!"
"Brother, remember to video call me!"
“OK！”
After saying goodbye to his family, Ling Jiu boarded Niu Ben's airship and flew toward the Ultimate Matriculation Camp.
The decoration of Niu Ben's airship was the same as Ling Jiu's airship. It was also a home model, with sofas, coffee tables, and other furniture in the spacious living room.
Niu Ben opened the refrigerator and asked with a smile, "Brother Ling, what do you want to drink? Coffee? Beer? Iced red tea? "
"Do you have beer?"
Ling Jiu said.
"Yes!"
Niu Ben took out two cans of beer, tossed one to Ling Jiu, and opened one for himself. He then sat on the sofa and took a sip.
"Brother Ling, I've seen your information. I heard that you're the strongest in this training camp?"
"Not bad!"
Ling Jiu smiled modestly.
"The training camp has gathered almost all the geniuses of the younger generation. To be able to become the strongest among them, Brother Ling, your talent is unquestionable, but I have to remind you that …"
Niu Ben took another sip of beer. "The ultimate matriculation camp is completely different from the training camp. Brother Ling, you'd better restrain yourself when you go there."
Ling Jiu cocked an eyebrow but remained humble. "Brother Niu, can you tell me about the Ultimate Matriculation Camp?"
"What do you want to know?"
Niu Ben asked with a smile.
"Where is the ultimate matriculation camp?"
"How many powerhouses are there in the ultimate matriculation camp?"
"How do the trainees of the ultimate matriculation camp train? What do we need to do every day?"
"…"
Ling Jiu fired off a barrage of questions.
"You will know where the ultimate matriculation camp is when you get there."
Niu Ben kept them in suspense, then narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"There were a total of 169 Arcanists in the Ultimate Matriculation Camp before. Including you and the other two who were recruited in advance this year, there are now 172."
"Who else besides me?"
Ling Jiu was surprised.
"One is called Bai Ya, and the other seems to be called Hao Shuai." Niu Ben smiled and said, "These two arrived at the Ultimate Matriculation Camp three days ago. You are the latest."
"Just as I expected!"
Ling Jiu nodded slightly. "Brother Niu, is the training in the Ultimate Matriculation Camp tough? What level do we usually reach before we can graduate and leave? "
"There's a saying in our Ultimate Matriculation Camp: It's hard to get in, and even harder to get out. Do you know what it means?"
Niu Mang said, "To enter the Ultimate Matriculation Camp... is very, very difficult."
"There are more than 10,000 genius Arcanists in all training camps around the world. Only the top ten genius Arcanists can enter the Ultimate Matriculation Camp.
"So, it is very difficult to enter the ultimate matriculation camp."
Ling Jiu nodded.
The normal recruitment of the Ultimate Matriculation Camp was after the graduation of the training camp, around December. At that time, only the most outstanding trainees were eligible to apply for entry into the Ultimate Matriculation Camp.
People like him, Bai Ya, and Hao Shuai who applied in advance, as well as him, Ai Yuhe, and Ling'er who were recommended were special cases.
Under normal circumstances, it was very difficult to enter the Ultimate Matriculation Camp.
"But compared to entering the Ultimate Matriculation Camp, graduating from the Ultimate Matriculation Camp is even harder."
Niu Ben shook the iced beer in his hand and sighed. "The Ultimate Matriculation Camp has recruited so many top geniuses, but less than three people can graduate from the Ultimate Matriculation Camp every year."
"Less than three?"
Ling Jiu was stunned. "Isn't that too little?"
"It is very little."
Niu Ben nodded. "So, geniuses who cannot graduate can only continue to stay in the Ultimate Matriculation Camp until they meet the conditions to leave.
This is also why the Ultimate Matriculation Camp recruits less than 10 people every year, but the number of people is as high as 169. This is accumulated year after year. "
"I see."
Ling Jiu suddenly understood.
"Bro Ling, do you know that some people have stayed in the Ultimate Matriculation Camp for more than 10 years?"
Niu Ben was a little disappointed. "But they could never leave successfully. They could only mix with the new trainees year after year. Sigh, it's lonely just thinking about it."
"10 years?"
Ling Jiu took a deep breath. "That long?"
"Of course."
Niu Ben nodded. "When you get to the Ultimate Matriculation Camp, you will know how difficult it is to leave."
"Bro Niu, how can I leave the Ultimate Matriculation Camp?" Ling Jiu asked.
"One of two conditions must be met to leave," Niu Ben said. "First, become an Ultimate Arcanist. In other words, you must be at least a Level 9 Arcanist."
"What about the second?"
Ling Jiu asked.
"Second, have more than a million points on the scoreboard," Niu Ben said.
"The Ultimate Matriculation Camp has a scoreboard that records the points of each trainee.
Only those who are at least a Level 9 Arcanist and have more than a million points on the scoreboard can leave. "
"A Level 9 Arcanist."
"A million points."
Ling Jiu's eyes flashed. "Bro Niu, what are the criteria to become a Level 9 Arcanist?"
"Combat power, of course," Niu Ben said.
"As long as your combat power reaches Level 9, you will be a Level 9 Arcanist."
"I see."
Ling Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. His physique was comparable to a Level 9 Arcanist, and his combat power was comparable to a Level 9 Arcanist. This meant that he had met the first condition. The problem now was the second condition.
"Bro Niu, how do I get points?"
Ling Jiu asked again.
"There are three ways to get points in the Ultimate Matriculation Camp." Niu Ben smiled. "First, planting trees."
"Planting trees?"
Ling Jiu was taken aback.
"Yes, planting trees," Niu Ben said meaningfully.
"The Ultimate Matriculation Camp is located on a very desolate planet, but it is very close to Earth. You can say it is close at hand."
"So.
Our top human leaders have issued a death order to transform this planet into a habitable planet. This is also one of the purposes of the Ultimate Matriculation Camp being stationed on this planet. "
A very close planet?
And very desolate?
Transformation?
Could it be Mars?
Ling Jiu frowned. "Bro Niu, the planet where the Ultimate Matriculation Camp is located is Mars, right? But isn't it unrealistic to plant trees on Mars? What kind of trees can survive in the extreme environment of Mars? "
"You will know when you get there."
Niu Ben let out a strange smile. "You will get one point for planting one tree. That is to say, you need to plant at least a million trees to get a million points. "
"A million trees?"
Niu Ben shook his head. "That will take forever."
"What about the second way to get points?"
Ling Jiu asked.
"The second way is to hunt monsters."
Niu Ben had a strange look in his eyes. "You should know that there are many dimensional rifts on Earth.
The stable ones are wormholes that lead to many planets, while the unstable dimensional rifts can emit Gene Arcana for Arcanists to practice self-cultivation. "
Ling Jiu nodded.
"In fact, the planet where our Ultimate Matriculation Camp is located also has wormholes, and there are dozens of them."
Niu Ben sighed. "So, monsters often pour out of the wormholes and invade that planet. In order to protect that planet, we have to fight the monsters.
So, hunting monsters can also get you points. Killing a Class 7 monster will get you one point, a Class 8 monster will get you ten points, and a Class 9 monster will get you 100 points.
"If you want to earn points purely by killing monsters, you'll have to kill one million Class 7 monsters, or 100,000 Class 8 monsters, or 10,000 Class 9 monsters!"
You can imagine how difficult it is to earn a million points. "
"It does sound a little difficult."
Ling Jiu nodded silently.
A million Class 7 monsters.
100,000 Class 8 monsters.
10,000 Class 9 monsters.
Difficult.
"It would be fine if that was all." Niu Ben sighed. "The key is that there are not many monsters on that planet.
Every time they invade, there will be no more than a hundred monsters, and there are more than a hundred Arcanists in the Ultimate Matriculation Camp. There are too many wolves and not enough meat. You can't kill as many as you want. "
Ling Jiu frowned.
A million Class 7 monsters, 100,000 Class 8 monsters, and 10,000 Class 9 monsters might seem like a lot, but as long as there were enough monsters, Ling Jiu was confident that he could hunt them down.
But there were not enough monsters.
This was the hardest part. No matter how powerful you were, how could you kill them if there were not enough monsters? You could not kill them even if you wanted to.
"This is difficult."
Ling Jiu sighed. "Brother Niu, what is the reward system of the Ultimate Matriculation Camp?"
"Reward? What reward? "
Niu Ben smiled bitterly. "The Ultimate Matriculation Camp is different from the training camp. There are no rewards.
The only reward is that as long as you successfully graduate from the Ultimate Matriculation Camp, you will get the Ultimate Suit. Other than that, we will not get any rewards while we are in the Ultimate Matriculation Camp. "
"No rewards?"
Ling Jiu was speechless. "Then how does everyone cultivate?"
"Although there are dimensional rifts on that planet, the Gene Arcana in the air is very thin, so the cultivation conditions on that planet are very difficult."
Niu Ben smiled bitterly. "If you want to cultivate, you can only plant trees."
"Plant trees?"
Ling Jiu frowned again.
"The trees we planted are a very magical plant. Not only can they produce oxygen, but they can also produce a very magical energy!"
Niu Ben exclaimed. "This energy is not Gene Arcana, but it has all the characteristics of Gene Arcana, and the effect is even more amazing than Gene Arcana."
At this point, Niu Ben's face lit up. "Do you know, Brother Ling, absorbing this energy can increase the power of our Arcana by five times?"
"Five times!"
"So, all the trainees in the Ultimate Matriculation Camp are desperately planting trees, so everyone has their own forest to obtain this mysterious energy."
