The next morning, Alex opened his eyes at eight o'clock on time.

"Bick, who has been here while I was away?" Alex asked casually during breakfast.

Next to Alex's seat, a "tin bucket" robot was struggling to fry an egg. Hearing this, it flashed its electronic eyes and replied: "Sir, within three months, seven days and nine hours after you left, there were a total of sixteen Requesting message information, do you want to accept it?”

"take over."

"Yes, sir. Mr. Ross Beard, the president of the college, called to inform you that you will take the explorer assessment in one month. At that time, you will take the college's Apollo spacecraft to the nearest steel spiral galaxy. Please prepare in advance.

Six students from the 1760th class of Klein College have applied to you for a competition. It has been confirmed that all six of them are now at Klein College.

In addition, nine tourists who visited Klein College left communication messages, hoping to get the opportunity to visit the owner of the villa. "

"Reject all visits from irrelevant people. In addition, when replying to the competition request, just say that I agree to their competition. As for the principal..." Alex paused, and then said, "Just say I understand."

Hearing Alex's answer, Bic's electronic eyes flashed, and in less than ten seconds, everything was done.

"Sir, the competition request has been responded to. They are very happy that you accepted the competition application. The specific time and battle sequence have been sent to your communication terminal, please check it."

Alex nodded and continued enjoying his hearty breakfast.

…

The extremely cold air spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, forming a path of ice that spread rapidly towards Alex.

Alex's body was like lightning, and he easily avoided the freezing air.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Five white freezing air masses flew towards him, with extremely precise landing points, faintly covering Alex's movement route.

"Admit defeat!" A confident shout came from the other side.

Alex's eyes flashed, and the lightsaber in his hand blurred, hitting the frozen air mass at an almost impossible speed.

"Bang!" A frozen halo exploded on the field, and white ice crystal powder filled the air.

"That's okay!" The person shouting was a young man wearing black sunglasses and with his hair standing on end. Seeing this scene, he even dropped the electronic cigar from his mouth. He didn't have time to think about it. His rich combat experience made him immediately Change position.

The jet under his feet sprinted and spun around rapidly, and the ice energy gun in his hand that could amplify his own superpowers shot out beams of freezing air, "There!"

Alex sprinted straight over, but the opponent only had time to shoot two beams of freezing energy, but he knocked them away one by one.

The plasma beam turned into a bolt of lightning, easily breaking through the opponent's last resistance, and placed it on the neck.

"You lost." Alex said calmly.

Feeling the slight itching sensation on his neck stimulated by the lightsaber, the young man in sunglasses raised his hands obediently, "Oh, you're right, I lost."

Only then did the students watching the battle on the stage react and burst into sporadic applause. There were not many students watching the battle. There were only about twenty people in the wide field, but it was the largest crowd in months.

Compared with the tens of thousands of students in other colleges, the number of formal students in the Explorer Academy does not exceed one hundred. Even students in the same college have very few opportunities to see each other - all explorers are Cultivation maniac, research maniac, fighting maniac... all kinds of weird personalities.

"Won again!"

"Awesome! This is the sixth battle. It takes less than five minutes to defeat the opponent each time."

"As expected of this year's top student..."

The students watching in the crowd were talking a lot. In the audience, Alex put away his lightsaber and walked towards the stage regardless of the sunglasses young man's invitation to fight again.

"Your strength has improved again." When passing by the alloy aisle, a sharp voice sounded from the side.

"Is that you?" Alex called out and saw a handsome woman in military uniform with beautiful long golden hair tied into a ponytail and a high-spirited brow.

The woman in military uniform raised her eyebrows and said, "I just came back from the army and I heard that someone accepted the challenge of six students in one go. I watched your game from beginning to end. It was very exciting."

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

"Thank you," Alex said.

This woman's name is Joanna, the daughter of Academy President Rose Beard. She is a student in the same class as him and is only inferior to him in strength in the academy. The two have always been in a competitive relationship before.

But before that, I heard that she had joined the federal army, but I didn't expect that she would come back.

"I joined the army just to gain experience on the battlefield." Perhaps sensing Alex's thoughts, the woman took the initiative and said.

Alex nodded. No wonder she had not seen her for several months. Her temperament was even sharper, like an unsheathed titanium alloy sword, extremely sharp.

Joanna leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, "Don't think you are the only one who has made progress. Also, Rocky wants me to tell you that he will surpass you in this explorer assessment."

Rocky is also a student of this year's Explorer Academy. He, Alex, and Joanna have been among the top three "top students" in this class from the beginning of the school year until now. Of course, Alex, as the chief student, has always been the target of challenges between the two.

Alex shook his head, "He is no match for me."

"Hmph! Arrogant guy." Joanna felt annoyed when she saw his calm look. She couldn't help but sarcastically said, looked at Alex deeply, and turned around to leave.

Alex shrugged his shoulders. No one believed the truth these days. Rocky wanted to defeat him unless he could also open the "inner universe" and break through the essence of life.

Although Klein College is a school that cultivates explorers, not every student will eventually become an explorer.

Even if a genius, with a lot of resources and the best education since childhood, wants to become a formal explorer, it will take time and opportunity.

In ancient times, real explorers could be said to be gods. They possessed incredible power and were the most important group in human StarCraft.

Alex, who has broken through the level of life, has undoubtedly stepped onto the threshold of an explorer.

According to the rules for classifying explorer extraordinary levels, he is now at the LV6 "Black Iron" hero level.

There is a huge gap in the strength of each of the four heroic levels of black iron, bronze, silver, and gold. Even the lowest black iron level can easily destroy a fully armed fifty-man interstellar elite guard.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Alex did not show his true power in the competition just now. He still focused on the level of current manipulation. He practiced diligently in secret to consolidate the magnetic field rotation power that he had just broken through.

However, practicing hard will not improve much in the short term, and Alex took advantage of this period to complete some preparations.

One day half a month later, in the underground laboratory of the seaside villa, Alex looked at the test tube in his hand with a look of joy.

"Success!"

The green viscous liquid exuding a pungent smell, what was in the test tube was the genetically encoded information of the spiny snake. During this period, Alex used the equipment in the laboratory and consulted many professionals, but failed during this period. After several attempts, the code was finally successfully cracked.

"I heard that explorers have the ability to decipher most genetic codes in a short time, but I don't know if this is true."

Shaking his head and putting aside the messy thoughts, Alex looked solemnly and took out a dusty leather bag - it was the void bag.

"Success or failure depends on this time." Carefully pour a drop of green liquid containing genetic code onto the skin bag, and then nervously observe the changes.

The effect was immediate, and the surface of the skin undulated like water waves. After a while, drops of green liquid exuding a pungent odor seeped out from the inside, gathering into clumps and flowing down the edge.

"Chi!" The alloy tabletop came into contact with the green liquid, and pits were immediately corroded.

Alex was not surprised but overjoyed. He stretched out his hand and wiped the surface of the void bag. He saw that the dusty surface of the void bag had taken on a new look, revealing the original complex and bright leather texture.

This is the true face of the void bag. Although the thorny snake deliberately disguised it for some reason, it all belongs to Alex now.

"Very well, here is the coded message implanted into me."

Alex was in a good mood. After taking a short rest, he sat quietly and meditated, pushing the magnetic field to turn the power and pouring it into the void bag.

Unlike the genetic information that determines the future class of the Zerg when they are born into the mother's body, Alex obtained the power of magnetic field rotation through subsequent training.

The force field fluctuations unique to the rotation of the magnetic field are the coded messages he is about to implant.

This implantation took a day and a night. After it was finally successful, Alex didn't even have time to take a look at the harvest inside. The first thing he did was lie down on the bed and fall asleep, making up for the energy he had spent during this period.

At noon on the second day, Alex opened the void bag feeling refreshed.

"This is..." Alex stared blankly at the pile of transparent crystals piled up in the void bag.

"Psionic Crystal!"

The appearance is characterized by a transparent crystal whose surface looks like a burning flame. Although it is only the lowest green unit, there are as many as 5,000 units.

Although I have never owned one, this crystal is too familiar, because its status in the interstellar era is equivalent to the strategic value of gold to various countries in Alex's previous life.

Nether energy crystal is known as the most important pure energy in the interstellar era. The environment required for its generation is very harsh and takes a very long time. Even in the vast universe, only a handful of resource stars can produce this mineral.

Currently, in the entire known star field, there are a total of 926 mineral planets discovered by various races. Around these resource stars, various civilized races have fought countless wars for decades. The battlefield spans hundreds of thousands of light-years. Trillions of troops were committed.

Once a site is conquered, heavy troops will be sent to garrison it immediately and they will mine as much as they can. The almost predatory collection is because of the special strategic value of the psionic crystals.

It was also an important currency for explorers.

Once you enter the explorer realm, the general currency loses its role. If you want to buy special materials and evolution potions, you mostly use psionic crystals as the equivalent of transactions.

At the same time, because the psionic crystal contains pure energy, it can also be used as a catalyst for practice or promotion, and is very popular among explorers of all races.

"I made a fortune this time." With Alex's calmness, he couldn't help but feel like he was wrapped in happiness.

He had just broken through the Black Iron rank and was worrying about being penniless when he unexpectedly received such a huge sum of money. Thinking of this, his expression was a bit strange, and the ferocious-looking Spiny Snake in his impression seemed to have changed. Gotta be a little cute.

After gathering his mood, Alex carefully searched for other items, which were all the flesh and bones of some unknown creatures - they should be the food of the hydralisk. He frowned and cleaned them all away.

"It's an unexpected surprise to have such a harvest. It's not good to be too greedy." Alex thought about this and took out a standard unit of psionic crystal with great interest: "It is said that this thing can assist cultivation. It's just a good time to try it. How is the trial effect..."
