Chapter 210: Is This Something I Can Consider?

After the storm, rainbows were everywhere.
Once Wang Ye and Xin Ran broke through that barrier, their relationship warmed immediately and they became much closer.
“Do you have any plans for the future?” Xin Ran lay obediently in Wang Ye’s arms.
“We were planning to go to the military camp,” Wang Ye said. “Tieshan mentioned that if powerless colony planet humans want to make a comeback, they have to rise and counterattack. Without a great talent or bloodline, entering the military camp is the best way.”
Xin Ran sat up straight and looked at Wang Ye. “But did he tell you what the death rate in the military camp is?”
“More than 90%, right?” Wang Ye laughed.
Xin Ran nodded. “A cosmic-level warrior is the lowest-level soldier in the military camp. The survival rate for three years is no more than 10%, and the survival rate for ten years is no more than 1%. This is especially true in the Ancient Battlefield Milky Way, where the demon race and devil race are fighting. Even the death rate of Dark Energy-level experts exceeds 80%. There is a price to pay to make a comeback. The human military camp is a death pyramid.”
Wang Ye nodded. He knew that this path was difficult, but was there a choice?
Do you have any good suggestions?” Wang Ye looked at Xin Ran.
“You can consider joining the eighteen top human factions.” Xin Ran’s beautiful eyes flashed. “There are also countless opportunities in factions like Yunlan Cosmic Logistics, Liuhe Private Bank, Starry Sky Communications, Jiutian Heavy Industry Company, and Huanyu Chamber of Commerce that spread across the vast human starfield.”
“But we have to start from the outermost circles and slowly work through it, don’t we?” Wang Ye said.
Xin Ran nodded. “But it’ll be more stable and safer. With your talent, as long as you improve your strength step by step, you’ll always have an opportunity.”
“Opportunity is not given by others. You have to create it yourself.” Wang Ye knew what Xin Ran meant.
She was more inclined to the traditional and gradual approach but he preferred to go straight to the point.
Her method was good, but it would take too long. Perhaps he would only get an opportunity after hundreds of years.
He could wait, but the Blue Planet might not be able to wait, and his female confidantes on the Blue Planet could not wait either.
Xin Ran was a very smart girl. She understood Wang Ye’s message and didn’t try to persuade him further. “Then have you considered the Supreme Human Academy or the Cosmic No.i Academy?”
Wang Ye couldn’t help but laugh. “Are they something I can consider?”
Those were colleges that were completely unrelated to strength and talent.
“You’re resourceful and smart. You can give it a try. What if you succeed?” Xin Ran’s beautiful eyes flickered.
“I’m far from it.” Wang Ye knew his limits. He looked at Xin Ran. “But you can give it a try.”
“Me?” A light flashed in Xin Rail’s eyes and she lowered her head. “I can’t.”
“Why not?” Wang Ye looked at her. “I remember that your dream is to enter the Supreme Human Academy, right?”
“Huh? How did you know?” Xin Ran was stunned.
He didn’t, but he learned about it when reading her mind, no?
“Why did you give up?” Wang Ye was curious.
“I didn’t give up,” Xin Ran shook her head immediately and said softly. “I’m just saving money. The annual tuition fee for the Supreme Human Academy is 100,000 star points. Even if 1 work part-time and disregard all other expenses, I’ll still need to pay 1 million star points for ten years of tuition fees after I enroll.”
“So you chose to be an assistant.” Wang Ye understood.
Xin Ran nodded lightly. “My family background is ordinary. The salary of an advanced assistant is 10,000 star points per year. In addition to some additional gains and subsidies from following the Colony Inspector, 1 get an average of 20,000 to 30,000 star points per year. Although it’s not as good as being a top-rank assistant, it’s enough.”
“If I use the money sparingly, I’ll be able to save up enough to apply for the Supreme Human Academy in about 30 years. It’s just as well that I can learn more knowledge during this period. By then, my chances of getting in will be higher…”
“Then wouldn’t you have no money to earn if you stay by my side?” Wang Ye laughed.
“It’s hard to achieve both dreams and a good life.” Xin Ran looked at Wang Ye. “If 1 can always be by your side and be a good wife like my mother, I’ll be content.”
“You’re thinking too far ahead. We’re still young.” Wang Ye smiled. “If you don’t do it now, when will you? You have to realize your dreams. Otherwise, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”
“Here, take this.” With that, he took out one cosmic dollar with the Cosmic Bank logo and placed it on Xin Ran’s snow-white palm. Feeling her delicate arm trembling uncontrollably, he gently held her fingers. “This is your advance payment. A cosmic-level being’s life span is 10,000 years, so you have to be my assistant for ten thousand years.”
Yes, yes.” Xin Ran kept nodding, her eyes full of tears. Looking at Wang Ye’s affectionate expression, her delicate body trembled as she tightly held the cosmic dollar in her hand. Her tears fell like rain. “I’m willing, I’m willing! I want to be your assistant for the rest of my life!”
After a second round, Wang Ye watched as Xin Ran fell asleep with tears on her face.
He had read Xin Rail’s heart and felt her affection, so he trusted her.
She was very smart and had awakened her ability early on. She was also very knowledgeable.
To be able to stand out from the three stages of screening and eliminate countless top secretaries to obtain the position of the Colony Inspector’s assistant, it was obvious that she was extraordinary.
1 cosmic dollar was a form of diversified investment.
If something really happened to him one day but Xin Ran had some achievements, she might be able to help him buy Blue Planet and achieve his goal.
From the looks of it, her chances of success were greater than his.
As long as she could get into the Supreme Human Academy, she would be able to become a 1-star cosmic citizen. If she successfully graduated, she would at least be a 2-star cosmic citizen.
After graduation, regardless of whether her occupation was in academia, research, technology, or something else, she would earn a lot of achievement points over time.
She could thus meet both of the requirements for purchasing a colony planet.
As for the rest, namely, the money needed to buy a colony planet, it might be a little difficult.
However, compared to the unknown ahead of him, there was at least a clear and precise path that she could take.
Studying was indeed the method with the highest success rate.

Whoosh!
A luxurious cosmic warp starship stopped on an asteroid in the Oort Cloud.
Having flown through multiple wormholes at a steady speed of light, it arrived at the location locked onto by the Hongqi Supernet in less than three cosmic days.
The cabin door opened.
The third team of the Munro Guards, led by Munro Ruiwen, disembarked.
It also had two sub-teams, but the 3rd team had 3 Dark Energy-level experts, and the number of cosmic-level 9 warriors far exceeded the ninth team.
In terms of overall combat prowess, they were ranked third among the Munro Guards.
“Tsk, tsk, it’s been demolished cleanly.” Munro Ruiwen scanned his surroundings.
Hongqi Supernet did not find anything valuable, only some starship wreckage.
“Captain, should we search the area?” Left Captain Munro Moulao was tall and mighty.
“No need.” Munro Ruiwen’s eyes were bright. “With Wang Ye’s personality, he wouldn’t hide. If he really wanted to, he would have done so a long time ago. There would’ve been no need for him to fight the Munro Guards then.”
“Then where would he go?” Right Captain Munro Mengju had dark skin, like a cheetah.
“There are four smaller galaxies outside Colony System 996. They are Colony Planet 994, 995, and 997 of the Munro family, and Colony System 1869 of the Chixie family. Where do you think Wang Ye will go?” Munro Ruiwen said calmly.
“Understood.” Munro Moulao nodded.
“Wang Ye’s goal is to travel through the wormhole of the Chixie family’s Colony System 1869 to the nearest five-star life planet, Xiapu Planet, three light years away. Let’s just go to the wormhole and wait,” Munro Ruiwen said.
“Alright!” Munro Moulao replied.
“Mengju, is the result from the application we’ve sent to Jiutian Heavy Industry Company out yet?” Munro asked.
“Not yet. Their efficiency has always been very low when it comes to such matters,” Munro Mengju said.
“It’s not that they’re inefficient but that we’re not qualified.” Munro Ruiwen smiled. He didn’t think much of it. “If it were the Chimeng family who asked for it, they could get the results in a cosmic day. If the seven supreme factions ask for it, they’d take the initiative to get it done in a heartbeat.”
“They’re looking down on us!” Munro Mengju spat.
“Aren’t we the same?” Munro Ruiwen returned to the starship. “It’s alright. Let’s head to the wormhole on Xiapu Planet. We’ll wait for them to deliver themselves to our door and give Wang Ye a great surprise.”
Hurricane.
“Xiapu Planet?” Wang Ye learned about the Hurricane Pirates’ next stop from Brother Jie.
“That’s right, Planet Xiapu is the territory of the Chimeng family, and it’s under the management of the Chixie family. The entire galaxy cluster around here belongs to the Chimeng family. Without Sister Min’s help, it wouldn’t have been easy for you to escape,” Tutu Jie said.
“They don’t care about the cosmic pirates?” Wang Ye was curious.
“There are so many cosmic pirates. Is the little Chimeng family so righteous?” Tutu Jie laughed. “We pirates only have two mortal enemies. One is the cosmic adventurers, and the other is the other pirate groups. As long as we don’t provoke the other factions and families too much, they basically turn a blind eye and ignore us. Otherwise, if the pirates take revenge, they won’t have a good ending either.”
Only cosmic adventurers were the natural enemies of cosmic pirates since they killed pirates to get the bounties.
“Why are we going to Xiapu Planet?” Wang Ye asked.
“To replenish energy and take a break.” Tutu Jie raised his eyebrows. “You have a woman, but the other brothers are having a hard time holding it all in. We pirates spend our money to our heart’s content. We don’t bring it with us when we’re born, and we don’t bring it with us when we die!”
“How long do you usually rest?” Wang Ye asked.
“Around ten cosmic days.” Tutu Jie stretched lazily. “It’s boring to stay in the starship all year round. Everyone likes to go to the bustling planets to have fun and rest.”
Wang Ye nodded.
He could take the chance to visit a 5-star life planet in the cosmic and accompany Xin Ran to the Supreme Human Academy to register while he was at it.
“Where are we headed to after that?” Wang Ye asked.
“To sweep the Ancient Battlefield where the battles are intense, of course. Why else would we come all the way here from Taishi Star Field?” Tutu Jie asked, raising his eyebrows. “We’re going to make a fortune from the war, brother!”
How could these guys sweep the battlefield? They were going to scavenge, huh?
Wang Ye didn’t point it out.
From the looks of it, the plan was not bad.
“The taste of the behemoth meat is amazing. Want a piece?” Tutu Jie took out a piece of marinated behemoth meat and handed it over.
Wang Ye took it and took a bite.
Hmm, the taste was very special, but it was indeed not bad.
“This seems to have just been marinated?” Wang Ye asked with a full mouth.
“That’s right. When we came to this star system, we happened to bump into a cargo starship of Yunlan Cosmic Logistics. We robbed it and snatched a few behemoths. Our luck was pretty good!” Tutu Jie said happily.
Yunlan Cosmic Logistics’ cargo starship?
Wang Ye gritted his teeth.
Damn pirates!
Where was his 40-light-year-long broadsword?
