Rolando said, "There's another way to leave the Stellar Training Camp, and that is to enter the Molten Rock Secret Realm!"
"The Molten Rock Secret Realm is the Molten Rock Empire's strongest Genius cultivation base, having cultivated many Geniuses who participated in the Pinnacle Genius Battle, and even super Geniuses who ranked among the top ten thousand in the Universe!"
"To enter the Molten Rock Secret Realm, one must pass through the Stellar Training Camp, even if it's just a formality. This is why the Molten Rock Empire and the families from more than a dozen intermediate Universe countries around it are so keen on having their Family members enter the Stellar Training Camp."
At this point, Rolando looked at Ender and said, "Didn't your Family send you to the Stellar Training Camp precisely so you could enter the Molten Rock Secret Realm?"
"A Planetary-Level Domain Genius like you is bound to enter the Molten Rock Secret Realm, as long as you don't die during the Stellar Training Camp's trial missions!"
"This Rolando thinks I'm a member of some large Family?"
Ender raised an eyebrow, "If one could enter the Molten Rock Secret Realm, I don't think anyone would refuse."
Rolando shrugged noncommittally, "Of course."
"Continue, finish explaining the final Hunting Mission."
Ender moved past the topic of the Molten Rock Secret Realm and prompted Rolando to continue explaining the Hunting Mission.
"Hunting Missions are divided into three categories."
Rolando said, "They are: Eliminating Star Pirates, Apprehending Fugitives, and Planetary Hunting."
"From their names, you can tell that the difficulty of these three types of missions is not small, because the enemies faced in all three are ruthless individuals with blood on their hands!"
"Eliminating Star Pirates."
He explained in detail, "This trial mission requires cooperation with the Imperial Army to attack the Star Pirates' lairs. Students act as the vanguard assault team, and the death rate is very high. However, due to the limited number of Star Pirates, these types of missions are rare."
"Apprehending Fugitives: The death rate for this type of mission is the lowest among Hunting Missions. Students complete it alone or in teams depending on the number of fugitives. The Empire only provides intelligence support, but due to intelligence issues, many students still fail and die."
"The final Planetary Hunting is the most common type of Hunting Mission. The Empire will put criminals with heavy sentences or even death sentences on a planet, and then let students enter this planet to hunt the criminals."
"It looks like students are hunting criminals, but in reality, criminals are also hunting students, because they will receive a reduced sentence for every student they kill. What's more troublesome is that they can form teams of up to four people."
"These criminals might not be strong individually, but they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals! Sometimes they even use severely wounded companions as bait, even if that companion will be killed by a student!"
Rolando said, "My previous Hunting Mission was Planetary Hunting. Many students were hunted by criminals because they acted alone."
Ender frowned in thought, "Among the three trial missions, the most dangerous and highest death rate is the Hunting Mission, and the Hunting Mission takes place in the third trial."
"The opponents in Hunting Missions are all people. Whether they are Star Pirates or criminals, if they can be designated as targets by the Stellar Training Camp, they must possess a certain level of strength and means."
"Especially in Planetary Hunting Missions, unscrupulous criminals are the most troublesome, because they have no bottom line!"
Then, his brows relaxed considerably, "Planetary-Level Domain Geniuses still receive preferential treatment. The Blood Edge Blade is issued after the second trial mission. This is to allow me to enhance my strength before the Hunting Mission to improve my survival and combat capabilities."
"What else do you want to ask?"
Seeing the change in Ender's expression, Rolando understood his feelings. He had felt much the same when he first learned about the Hunting Mission.
"My life Gene Energy level is 32 times, allowing me to fight across four Ranks at the same Realm. Enhancing my strength and increasing my Gene Energy Rank is a good method."
Thinking of this, Ender asked, "Can points be exchanged for Nutrient Solution to strengthen?"
"Of course, they can."
Rolando replied, "It only takes 10 points to advance from Planetary Level to Planetary Level Rank Nine, but for Stellar Rank, the initial advancement cost is 20 points, and the points required double for each subsequent Rank advancement."
"That is, advancing from Stellar Rank One to Rank Two requires 20 points, from Rank Two to Rank Three requires 40 points, and so on, up to Stellar Rank Eight to Rank Nine requiring 2560 points!"
"Also, because the points required for strength advancement vary greatly, students entering the Stellar Training Camp are required not to exceed Stellar Rank Five in strength."
After speaking, Rolando couldn't help but ask, "May I ask you a question?"
Ender was slightly taken aback, "Go ahead."
"Why are you a Planetary-Level Domain Genius, but you are only Planetary Level Rank Eight?"
This was what Rolando really wanted to know, because if Ender were Planetary Level Rank Nine, he wouldn't have bet such a large amount as 50 points!
Ender produced his prepared explanation, "Because I wasn't a Planetary-Level Domain Genius before. I only comprehended the Domain on my way to the Stellar Training Camp."
"So that's how it is..."
Rolando was a bit speechless; he felt truly unlucky to encounter such a thing.
After mocking himself, he shook his head and asked, "Is there anything else you want to know?"
Ender thought for a moment and asked, "Can Secret Manuals be exchanged for points in the Stellar Training Camp? If so, what is the quality of the Secret Manuals?"
"Secret Manuals can be exchanged for points."
Rolando replied, "However, most Secret Manuals are of average quality and are common Secret Manuals in the surrounding Universe Countries. Domain Master Families with slightly stronger foundations generally possess them."
"Secret Manuals of average quality? This means profound Secret Manuals are in the Molten Rock Secret Realm."
Ender nodded, indicating he understood, "I have nothing else to ask. If you have nothing more to say, I'll concede."
Looking at Ender's somewhat youthful face, Rolando decided to offer a reminder, considering it a way to build good relations.
"You don't have many points since you just entered the Stellar Training Camp. I suggest you exchange for a Rank One Force Armor to enhance your survival capabilities, and exchange for some B-grade metal throwing knives to use as a Spirit Weapon."
"I don't have many points, but adding one more Rank One Spirit Weapon shouldn't be a problem."
Ender muttered to himself. He smiled at Rolando's kind reminder and said, "Thank you for your suggestion."
After speaking, with a thought, a light screen appeared before him, displaying a question asking if he wished to concede.
Ender tapped 'confirm' with his finger and disappeared from the grassland as a white light.
As Ender left, a light screen popped up in front of Rolando, stating that he had won the gamble and gained 20 points.
Looking at the light screen before him, Rolando murmured, "Domain! How I envy him!"
He had long since achieved Perfection in his techniques, but without comprehending the Artistic Conception, he was ultimately destined to be without a Domain.
Don't let the large number of students in the Stellar Training Camp deceive you; a single Stellar Training Camp has two to three thousand people, but the number of students who have comprehended a Domain is very small, at most only one percent!
Even if a Genius of this Rank doesn't enter the Molten Rock Secret Realm, they won't have to worry about finding a place after leaving the Stellar Training Camp, as they will be highly sought after by many forces!
After Ender conceded and exited the combat space, he went offline and left the Virtual Universe...
