"Junior Brother Ye!"
Just as Ye Xuan finished reading the "Student Instructions" and was tidying up and cleaning his room, he suddenly heard Gongsun Sheng's shout coming from outside.
Stopping what he was doing, Ye Xuan walked out of the room, opened the door of the second-floor attic, and walked out. Seeing Gongsun Sheng standing on the second floor of his house, he could not help but smile and said, "Senior Brother, what's the matter?"
"Junior Brother Ye, you just joined our Elite Training Camp today. According to tradition, our brothers and sisters in the Elite Training Camp have prepared a welcome dinner for you tonight. Get ready. The time is eight o 'clock in the evening." Gongsun Sheng said with a smile after seeing Ye Xuan.
"Okay, Senior Brother, I got it." Ye Xuan nodded with a smile.
"Well, it's good that you remember. Go and do your work. I'll call you again at eight o 'clock!" Gongsun Sheng smiled, turned around and walked back, ending the conversation.
"Eight o 'clock?" Seeing Gongsun Sheng walk in, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows, turned back to his room, and continued to clean up.
After a while, after the room was cleaned up, Ye Xuan saw that it was only seven o 'clock, and there was still an hour before the banquet began.
"By the way, let's take a look first. I really forgot about it just now!" Sitting on the bed, Ye Xuan suddenly thought of something, patted his head, and then said to Xueyi, "Xueyi, what is my current luck value?"
"Master, the total luck value you have obtained in the Swallowing Star dream world is 0.000173329%." Xueyi's voice sounded in Ye Xuan's mind.
"It hasn't changed?" Hearing the luck value Xueyi reported, Ye Xuan could not help but raise his eyebrows. Originally, he thought that he could also get luck value by killing monsters in the trial room, but it seemed that this was not the case.
However, Ye Xuan did not care about this. He just thought of it for a while.
"By the way, Xueyi, I have a question to ask you," Ye Xuan suddenly said.
"Master, what do you want to ask?" Xueyi asked.
"What I want to ask is, when I used the consciousness sensor to enter the virtual space just now, would you be discovered by the controller behind the virtual space?" Ye Xuan asked.
"That won't happen, Master. The Dream Evolution System is the most advanced high-intelligence consciousness system in the entire universe. It has a special device that can shield other similar systems. Furthermore, according to the system's analysis, the virtual space you've entered belongs to a low-intelligence consciousness system. You won't be able to sense the system," Xueyi explained.
"What if it's a more advanced consciousness system?" Ye Xuan frowned and asked.
He knew that the virtual space in the elite training camp might be the only conscious system on Earth, but outside of Earth, there was a virtual universe that covered the entire universe. He knew a secret that not many people in this universe knew, and that was that behind the virtual universe, there was an ancestor that knew everything about the virtual universe.
Not only was the Dream Evolution System very useful to him, but it was also something that could allow him to return to the real world. He did not want this secret to be known by others.
Just as Ye Xuan was expecting an answer from Xueyi, he did not expect Xueyi to say this to him. "I'm sorry, Master. I don't have enough information to answer."
Ye Xuan was speechless. In the end, he could only shake his head. He could only temporarily keep this matter in mind and think about it when he could leave Earth one day.
At half past seven, Ye Xuan went to take a shower. After changing into a set of casual clothes, he followed Gongsun Sheng to attend his own banquet.
As the saying went, when people from the same hometown met, their eyes would be filled with tears!
Only when they left home and left the country would they understand the kindness and friendliness of their compatriots. Therefore, the Huaxia students in the elite training camp had a tradition, which was to hold a welcoming banquet for every student who entered.
The banquet was held on the second floor of the elite training camp's first cafeteria. A total of 23 elite students from various base cities in Huaxia gathered here and drank together.
"Seniors, juniors, seniors, juniors, thank you all for taking the time to attend this welcoming banquet. Today, we welcome another brother from Huaxia. He is Ye Xuan. Please welcome him!" As soon as Ye Xuan entered, he was brought to the front desk to show his face.
"Seniors, hello everyone. My name is Ye Xuan, and I come from Huaxia Base City!" Ye Xuan took a step forward and smiled at everyone.
Clap! Clap! Clap! — —
The people below were very respectful, and their palms suddenly clapped in unison.
"Alright, then, the banquet officially begins. Let's drink till we're drunk!" The student who hosted the banquet said with a smile.
"Hello, Ye Xuan. My name is Wei Canghao, and I come from Jiangnan Base City!"
"Hello, Ye Xuan. My name is Lin Mingyi, and I come from Huaxia Base City!"
"Hello, Ye Xuan. My name is Fan Wenyao, and I come from Jingdu Base City!"
… …
As soon as the banquet began, Ye Xuan became the focus of the banquet. All the young people who came to attend the banquet all walked towards Ye Xuan and toasted with Ye Xuan.
Those who could enter the elite training camp were all talented and intelligent people. They all understood that as long as they entered the elite training camp, unless they were eliminated, their future would be limitless. Befriending one more person meant that they would have an excellent partner in the future.
Therefore, even though many of these people had distinguished statuses in Huaxia, none of them put on airs. They all smiled and greeted Ye Xuan with their glasses of wine.
More than an hour later, after sending off one elite student after another, Ye Xuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He held a glass of wine and walked to the side alone.
Actually, Ye Xuan didn't really like this kind of banquet. However, Ye Xuan's personality was one that could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. If people respect me, I'll respect them even more. So even though he didn't like this kind of place, he wouldn't do anything that would dampen the mood.
"Hello, Ye Xuan. My name is Zhao Ruo, and I come from Jiang-Nan Base City!" Just as Ye Xuan was sitting on the side, he suddenly heard a crisp voice. He turned his head and saw a girl with short hair, a petite figure, and tanned skin looking at him brightly.
Zhao Ruo? He seemed to remember that there was such a person mentioned in novels. Luo Feng also came from Jiang-Nan Base City.
"Hello, Zhao Ruo!" Ye Xuan smiled and raised his glass towards her.
"Why are you hiding here by yourself? You're the star of the show tonight, so it's not good for you to be like this!" Even though Zhao Ruo wasn't a pretty girl, she had a very bright personality. She walked over to Ye Xuan and sat down as she giggled.
"Hehe, I drank quite a bit just now. Let's take a break!" Ye Xuan shook the glass in his hand as he laughed.
"Hehe, you're clearly slacking off. For people like us, we wouldn't get drunk even if we drank 5 liters of this kind of wine" Zhao Ruo giggled as she exposed his lie.
Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders as he heard this and smiled, tacitly agreeing.
Just as Zhao Ruo was about to continue chatting with Ye Xuan, a handsome young man wearing a suit suddenly walked over from the side. When Zhao Ruo saw him, she smiled as she stood up and said, "Senior Xuan!"
"Zhao Ruo!" that senior Xuan gracefully smiled towards Zhao Ruo.
"You're here to find Ye Xuan right? You guys chat!" Zhao Ruo was very tactful. After smiling, she turned around and left.
After seeing Zhao Ruo leave, that senior Xuan turned around and smiled at Ye Xuan, "Ye Xuan, nice to meet you. I'm Xuan Ze!"
"Hello, Senior Xuan!" Ye Xuan stood up and shook hands with Xuan Ze. At the same time, he remembered that Xuan Ze was in the top 100 of the Black Dragon Rankings.
"Ye Xuan ….." after shaking hands with Ye Xuan, Xuan Ze looked at the people around him and then said in a low voice, "I represent the Xuan family of China's 12 great families in the HR alliance to extend an invitation to you. Would you be interested in joining our Xuan family?"
"Xuan family?" Ye Xuan's eyebrows raised.
"Yes! Our Xuan family is one of the representatives of the HR alliance. We have a strong economy and strength. You should know the HR alliance. It's the richest alliance in the world. Even in the coldest places, there's an HR alliance base. As long as you join, no matter where you go in the future, you'll be able to get the best service there.
"Of course, for a top talent like you, our family definitely won't be stingy. As long as you agree to join, then for the five years you'll be in the training camp, our family will provide you with 6 billion Chinese dollars every year until you graduate. At that time, the stronger you are, the better your treatment will be! "
6 billion?
He hadn't even officially joined, and they were already providing 6 billion a year. 30 billion in five years? This Xuan family was pretty generous.
However, with Ye Xuan's eyes, let alone 6 billion, even if it was 60 billion, he wouldn't put it in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, senior brother Xuan. You see, I've just joined the training camp, so I don't have any plans to join any organizations yet. Thank you for your kind intentions." Ye Xuan smiled as he declined.
"Eh ….." he didn't think that Ye Xuan would directly decline. Xuan Ze was a bit surprised. However, Xuan Ze didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled, "Alright, since Ye Xuan already has a plan, then I won't force you. But if you have any problems in the future, you can come find me!"
"Alright, thank you!" Ye Xuan smiled faintly, and raised his glass to drink with Xuan Ze.
Xuan Ze didn't stay for long. After exchanging a few more words with Ye Xuan, he left.
However, after Xuan Ze left, a few more people came over to interact with Ye Xuan. These people came from all sorts of powers. Some were from China's military, some were like Xuan Ze, representatives of the HR alliance in China, and some were even bigger powers.
These people's goals were the same as Xuan Ze's; they were all here to recruit him.
However, Ye Xuan's family didn't have an answer, and all of them were rejected.
It wasn't that he thought highly of himself, but that these people couldn't give him what he wanted!
The banquet ended around 11. After saying goodbye to Gongsun Sheng, Ye Xuan went straight back to his building.
After returning to his room, Ye Xuan put the banquet to the back of his mind. He turned on the computer given to him by the training camp, entered the House of Limits' internal website, verified it, and directly entered the House of Limits.
Name: Ye Xuan
Gender: Male
Address: China, Central China headquarter city, Yangshan District 232
Fighter ID: 6523658654002531600041
Level: Warrior (Beginner)
Contribution: 1 star
Balance: 0
The level shown on his profile was still at the Warrior Level. That was because even though Ye Xuan had hunted down many general-level monsters, he had never been certified. Warriors had to hunt monsters to be certified in order to be promoted, so his profile had always been labeled as a Beginner Warrior.
As for contribution, he had to sell the entire blood shadow panther to the Dojo of Limits to get that.
After taking a look at the information, Ye Xuan did not stop. Instead, he directly clicked into the Extreme Mall's page for the Ninefold Thunder Blade and started reading.
Before coming to the elite training camp, Ye Xuan had already mastered the fourth stage of the Nine Stage Thunder Blade. Each of his punches and kicks was 3.5 times faster than his normal speed.
However, the Nine Stage Thunder Blade manual he bought before was only up to the fourth stage. If he wanted to continue practicing the Nine Stage Thunder Blade, he would need to buy a new manual.
Nine Stage Thunder Blade, all nine stages, price: 100 billion Chinese dollars (full price), 50 billion Chinese dollars (half price), requirement: 4 star contribution points);
First eight stages of the Nine Stage Thunder Blade, price: 50 billion Chinese dollars (full price), 25 billion Chinese dollars (half price), requirement: 4 star contribution points);
First seven stages of the Nine Stage Thunder Blade, price: 20 billion Chinese dollars (full price), 10 billion Chinese dollars (half price), 3 star contribution points);
First six stages of the Nine Stage Thunder Blade, price: 8 billion Chinese dollars (full price), 4 billion Chinese dollars (half price), 3 star contribution points);
First five stages of the Nine Stage Thunder Blade, price: 2 billion Chinese dollars (full price), 1 billion Chinese dollars (half price), 2 star contribution points);
"The first four stages of the Nine Stage Thunder Blade cost only 500 million Chinese dollars. I didn't think that just one more stage would cost 2 billion Chinese dollars." Looking at the price, Ye Xuan could not help but raise his eyebrows and sigh. "These people really know how to do business. The full Nine Stage Thunder Blade is only 100 billion Chinese dollars, but if I buy it one stage at a time, it will add up to nearly 200 billion Chinese dollars."
He opened his bank account and saw that it was only slightly more than 500 million, not even enough to make up for it.
"Forget it, I won't buy it for now. I'll think about how to make money during this time." Shaking his head, he closed the webpage and browsed through some posts on the warrior forum. After that, Ye Xuan turned off the computer, turned off the light, and went to bed to cultivate.
The next morning, Ye Xuan had just woken up, washed up, and was about to do some boxing in the yard when he suddenly heard Gongsun Sheng's voice.
He opened the door and saw Gongsun Sheng standing in the yard in a loose black training suit.
"Senior brother, what's the matter?" Ye Xuan said with a smile.
"Junior brother, do you want to go exercise together? There are a lot of places to exercise in the training camp. I'll take you there! "Gongsun Sheng laughed.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, wait for me!"
After changing his clothes, Ye Xuan directly jumped down from the second floor.
"Let's go!" Gongsun Sheng smiled and then walked out of the yard with Ye Xuan …

Thanks to "Waterside Bookworm" and "80 Years of Migrant Workers" for their tips!
In the book review, some readers said that Tang Shui only copied the "Swallowing the Star" by changing the protagonist. Here, Tang Shui defended herself.
As it was the first time to adapt a novel, Tang Shui was indeed not familiar with it, and her writing technique was not mature. However, if someone looked carefully, they would find that most of what Tang Shui copied was the settings of the novel. It couldn't be helped, these settings had been fixed in the original novel, and there was no way to change it. Otherwise, it would end up in a mess.
As for the plot, Tang Shui was indeed influenced by the original novel, but most of it actually had her own considerations. These plots were mainly to achieve the protagonist's goal. With the protagonist's position, such a choice was actually more in line with his identity as a time traveler.
Also, for those who don't like this part, don't read it first, and continue to support Tang Shui when you see a movie or novel that you are interested in. Tang Shui will be very grateful!
However, no matter what, I still want to finish it according to my own ideas. After all, in order to write "Swallowing the Star", I spent more than a month reading this book. I can't let my hard work go to waste.
