Chapter 73 - Chapter 73 Rules of this Trial Mission

Rolando exclaimed, "The communicators of all students at the evacuation point are visible, doesn't that mean even criminals can see the evacuation point!"

He had also participated in planetary Hunting Missions and knew that if a student died at the hands of a criminal, it meant their communicator would fall into the criminal's hands.

And after obtaining the communicator, criminals could plan based on the student's mission, using the mission objective as a center to hunt students.

If there were only Stellar Rank criminals, students would mostly have an advantage against them, but what if the criminals included Universe Level…

Thinking of this, Rolando shuddered. Facing a trap set by a Universe Level criminal, Stellar Rank students would have little chance of survival!

"Of course! Otherwise, how could the death rate of the last planetary Hunting Mission have been nearly 80%!"

Ender sighed, "I'm not the only student who wants to get 100 extra points. There were two other students who also wanted to get 100 extra points, but neither of them made it to the evacuation point alive.

"Once discovered by that Universe Level criminal, it's very difficult to enter the evacuation point alive!"

Hearing this, Rolando fell silent. If he were facing the pursuit of a Universe Level expert, he probably wouldn't survive either.

"The Stellar Training Camp really dares to do this!"

He felt a sense of sorrow for his kind, realizing that the high-ranking officials of the Molten Rock Empire didn't care much about the lives of Stellar Training Camp students like them.

What Rolando didn't know was that, in the eyes of the high-ranking officials responsible for the Stellar Training Camp within the Molten Rock Empire, the deaths of all other students besides Ender in the last planetary Hunting Mission were insignificant.

All students entering the Stellar Training Camp were informed in advance that the Stellar Training Camp had a very high death rate, and they all signed a contract absolving the camp of responsibility for death.

Since they knew the death rate was high and signed a contract absolving responsibility for death, the Stellar Training Camp's high-ranking officials naturally pushed students to their limits, as long as the death rate did not exceed 50%.

And students who survived this intense training, apart from those who left after completing three trial missions, were all exceptionally strong. Many of them broke through to Universe Level, and a very small number even broke through to Domain Master and World Master.

Of course, most Stellar Training Camp students who broke through to the World Master Level had previously entered the Molten Rock Secret Realm and participated in the Pinnacle Genius Battle.

Just the significant probability of breaking through to Universe Level was enough to make many Families go to great lengths to send their clansmen in, not to mention the extremely small chance of Breaking Through to Domain Master.

This is why, despite the Stellar Training Camp's high death rate, Families continue to send their clansmen in!

"So, don't underestimate the Stellar Training Camp's ability to stir up trouble."

Ender first warned Rolando, then speculated, "I think this trial mission, the Stellar Training Camp will encourage student competition, and may even set rules that force students to fight."

Hearing this, Rolando frowned slightly, "I hope the best outcome is that the map showing the mission objectives is revealed, followed by not revealing the map but implicitly allowing student competition, and finally what you said."

Ender sighed, "I also hope I'm overthinking it, but until the Stellar Training Camp's new message arrives, I can only prepare for the worst."

Hearing this, Rolando also nodded in agreement, because Ender was right.

The two ended their conversation, agreeing to meet again when new news from the Stellar Training Camp arrived, then left the Virtual Universe to return to reality, Cultivating separately.

A few days later, the Stellar Training Camp sent new news, and the two met again at Number Three in the Virtual Universe.

"Ender, you really guessed it right." Rolando's expression was not good. "The Stellar Training Camp is indeed encouraging student competition, and has even set rules for it.

"The mission duration is two months. After the trial mission begins, a map will be dropped at irregular intervals each day. The map drop point will appear randomly on the mission planet. After the map is dropped, its coordinates will be announced. The map cannot be opened for one hour and can be seized, and the student who obtains the map will also have their coordinates announced every 10 minutes within that hour.

"To encourage student competition, the Stellar Training Camp is using a limited, random map drop method, allowing teams but prohibiting students from forwarding maps to others, and will also announce the coordinates of students who obtain maps."

He had been in the Stellar Training Camp for over ten years, participating in nearly ten trial missions, but this was the first time he had seen a trial mission that so strongly encouraged student competition.

Ender pondered for a moment and said, "The map shows the locations of all mission objectives. There are 132 students participating in this trial mission. Because some students are teaming up, the demand for maps is probably around forty. The remaining twenty days are enough to collect all mission objectives.

"To rank high in the time race, obtaining the map before others is crucial. Getting the map one day earlier gives you one more day of collection time than others, especially for those who get the map in the first few days, as they can ensure themselves and their teammates get high rankings.

"We must obtain a map within ten days, so that our ranking will not be low."

Rolando nodded, because he wasn't sure about the teaming situation of other students. If the students who obtained maps in the first few days had a large number of teammates, then their ranking would naturally not be high.

If the map was obtained after ten days, with bad luck, they might even rank low and be forced to deduct basic mission points.

Rolando's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then let's go and snatch maps from others. With our combined strength, getting a map in the first few days will definitely not be a problem!"

Ender instructed, "You can snatch maps, but it's best not to kill anyone."

"Hmm? That's exactly what I was going to say."

Rolando raised an eyebrow and smiled, "It seems we are both people of principle."

The precedent of killing for treasure should not be set lightly. Once it is, one will start thinking about this quick way to make money, and it will be difficult to turn back!

Many Star Pirates became Star Pirates this way. Money came too quickly; robbing a spaceship and selling it brought in a huge sum, an amount that would take years, even decades, of normal work to earn.

Rolando added, "If it's a criminal, I don't mind killing them for points, but these are all fellow Stellar Training Camp students. We are in a competitive relationship with them, but it's not to the point of needing to kill."

Ender nodded, "It's good that you think that way. This way, our thoughts are unified, and we won't have conflicts over killing in this trial mission."

Rolando shrugged, "Compared to worrying about me killing someone, you should worry about accidentally killing someone yourself."

Ender was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"You have a Second-Order Spiritual Weapon. Its power is much stronger than a First-Order Spiritual Weapon. If you don't hold back…"

Rolando didn't finish, but his meaning was clear.

"Heh." Ender chuckled softly, "I don't think there's any need to worry about that. Once we both unleash our Domain, will anyone still dare to come and snatch the map?"

Rolando was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but laugh…
