282: Chapter 279 Unspeakable Wonder 282: Chapter 279 Unspeakable Wonder “Is the rule really that simple?”
After listening to Hai Luoshuang’s explanation, Ye Zhen was utterly astounded.
He had thought that the only rule ntioned by Hai Luoshuang would be quite stringent, but to his surprise, it turned out like this.
“It’s just that simple!”
With a smiling face, Hai Luoshuang said, “As I’ve said, Stars Tower doesn’t have any rules that bind people.
As for this one, rather than calling it a rule, it’s more appropriate to say it’s a cooperation.”
“Cooperation, indeed!
Even without this rule, I would still go to Black Dragon Ancient City at the end of the year to compete for a place in the Black Dragon Ranking.
It’s just that I don’t quite understand; why must I stay at Stars Tower’s Main Building for half a month after making it into the Black Dragon Ranking?
Could there be so mystery to the rewards of the Black Dragon Ranking?” Ye Zhen asked.
Martial Artists under twenty-seven years of age can compete for a place in the Black Dragon Ranking.
Any Martial Artist in Stars Tower under twenty-seven must participate in the competition.
If they make it into the Black Dragon Ranking, they need to go to Stars Tower imdiately and stay for at least half a month.
Moreover, based on their ranking in the Black Dragon Ranking, those who made it will receive a substantial reward for each day they stay at Stars Tower.
As Hai Luoshuang put it, if soone’s ranking reaches a certain level, the daily rewards could make a Martial Artist at the Soul Sea Realm envious.
“The reward for making it into the Black Dragon Ranking?
I can only say, it’s indescribably brilliant!”
“Indescribably brilliant?”
“That’s right.
When the ti cos, if you manage to make it, you’ll know after experiencing it yourself.
To my knowledge, the opening of Black Dragon Ancient City every five years is the most intense competition and battle among young Martial Artists!”
“So, is this rule fine with you?” Hai Luoshuang asked Ye Zhen eagerly.
“No problem at all!”
“Please!”
After Ye Zhen readily agreed, Hai Luoshuang then brought him straight to Star Hall in the Picking Star Inn to complete the ceremony for Ye Zhen’s induction into Stars Tower.
Star Hall is where Stars Tower holds etings and office work.
It’s very imposing.
When Ye Zhen arrived, Vice Building Master Yan Kunshan, accompanied by more than a dozen Martial Artists, was already waiting there.
In fact, Stars Tower’s induction ceremony was not as complicated as Ye Zhen imagined.
On the contrary, it was very simple.
First, they registered in the Jade Book.
Then, Ye Zhen offered a drop of his Origin Essence Blood.
On the spot, Stars Tower Master Hai Luoshuang used a Secret Technique to refine an Identity Jade for Ye Zhen.
After that, Yan Kunshan explained a few of Stars Tower’s rules, and the ceremony was considered complete.
Very simple indeed.
It was as simple as if he were visiting soone’s ho.
However, in Ye Zhen’s view, for a loose organization like Stars Tower, if the induction ceremony were too solemn, it might backfire.
As for the few rules of Stars Tower, in Ye Zhen’s view, they were virtually non-existent; there were no constraints whatsoever.
First, the number one rule of Stars Tower took Ye Zhen by surprise: all mbers of Stars Tower, except for the Tower Master and Deputy Tower Master, were allowed to fight amongst themselves.
In other words, within Stars Tower, mbers could even fight to the death or rob and kill each other, and Stars Tower wouldn’t impose any restrictions whatsoever.
Second, the Tower Master and Deputy Tower Master of Stars Tower did not have the authority to issue orders to mbers.
mbers were also free to directly decline orders from the Tower Master and the Deputy Tower Master.
Even if the Tower Master wanted to give orders, they had to offer compensation to the mbers and even then, needed to get their consent.
However, once they accepted the compensation, they could not withdraw midway or violate the agreent.
Otherwise, they would face severe punishnt from within Stars Tower.
Third, Stars Tower possessed abundant resources and intelligence, but even the most minor piece of information required mbers to exchange silver points.
Moreover, within Stars Tower, one could only exchange for different resources or intelligence based on their level.
The levels of Stars Tower mbers that Ye Zhen was aware of ranged from ordinary mbers to teor, Assistant Star, Star Suppressing, and Main Star.
The resources and intelligence ranged from Level 1 to Level 9.
Level 1 was the most common, Level 9 the most precious.
Human Level Cultivation Techniques were considered Level 1 resources, which any ordinary mber could exchange for.
Lower-grade and Mid-grade Earth Rank Cultivation Technique Manuals were Level 2 resources and required a teor ranking to exchange.
The Heavenly Level Lower Grade Divine Power Martial Skill that Ye Zhen bid on at the auction yesterday was available in Stars Tower too.
However, Heavenly Level Lower Grade Divine Power Martial Skills were considered Level 4 resources and required the status of a Star Suppressing mber to exchange.
What shocked Ye Zhen even more was that Stars Tower also possessed Heavenly Level Middle Grade Divine Power Martial Skills.
To Ye Zhen’s knowledge, even a Great Sect like the Qiyun Sect did not possess Heavenly Level Middle Grade Divine Power Martial Skills.
This left him quite astonished.
Just how vast was Stars Tower?
In fact, the Spirit Storage Pill that Ye Zhen spent a fortune on at the auction was also available in Stars Tower as a Level 2 resource, which a teor mber could exchange for.
However, according to Hai Luoshuang, many precious items weren’t available in the Black Dragon Domain’s Stars Branch Building and had to be exchanged directly from Stars Tower’s Main Building, which was quite far from here, making exchanges extrely cumberso.
In the Black Dragon Domain Stars Tower, mbers generally accumulated one or two years’ worth of exchange demands before they exchanged with the Main Building in bulk.
Due to the great distance, a massive Teleportation Array had to be activated for the exchange, and the consumption of such an array was massive; each activation cost countless Spirit Crystals.
Consequently, although many rare items could be exchanged, one had to wait so ti.
Lastly, and most importantly, the ranks of mbers within Stars Tower were not determined by Cultivation level but by the total amount of stars points a mber had accumulated over ti.
To beco a teor from an ordinary mber, one needs at least ten thousand star points; to beco an Assistant Star, one needs at least five hundred thousand star points.
Moreover, there are distinctions within teors and Assistant Stars.
Within Stars Tower, among the teors, the seventy-two teors are the most prestigious.
Among mbers of the sa rank, they enjoy a high degree of priority when exchanging resources or intelligence.
For example, if an ordinary teor mber and a teor ranked seventieth within the seventy-two teors are exchanging the sa scarce cultivation resource simultaneously, the teor within the seventy-two teors will undoubtedly be given priority.
Similarly, within the Assistant Stars, the eighteen Auxiliary Stars are the most esteed, and among the Star Suppressing ranks, the top three are the most revered.
All of this has a very complex yet simple calculation thod within Stars Tower.
The ranking of the seventy-two teors is not rely about star points.
Apart from the contributions to Stars Tower and the amount of star points, there is also the ranking of strength.
It can be said that within Stars Tower, the titles that co with privileges, such as the seventy-two teors, eighteen Auxiliary Stars, and the Three Great Guardian Stars, are extrely precious.
There are no shortages of bloody incidents each year over these privileged titles.
In the words of Vice Building Master Yan Kunshan, only by becoming one of the seventy-two teors will you understand how valuable the privileges they enjoy are.
“Oh, Tower Master Yan, how can one beco one of the seventy-two teors?” Ye Zhen asked curiously.
“To beco one of the seventy-two teors, first, the star points must reach at least fifty thousand.
Of these fifty thousand star points, at least ten thousand must be obtained from completing missions within the building and not solely from exchanging Spirit Crystals.
Second, you need to have joined Stars Tower for at least one year to be eligible to beco one of the seventy-two teors.
The third requirent is cultivation; if you et the first two conditions and can defeat any one of the seventy-two teors, you can replace him as one of the seventy-two teors.”
As he introduced these rules, Yan Kunshan still wore his deadpan expression, and his gaze towards Ye Zhen was icy cold, as if harboring a grudge.
Listening to Vice Building Master Yan Kunshan up to this point, Ye Zhen felt a sudden urge.
He rembered that Hai Luoshuang had promised him that as long as he joined Stars Tower, he would have the status of one of the seventy-two teors.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhen’s gaze turned towards Hai Luoshuang.
Without waiting for Ye Zhen to look her way, Hai Luoshuang spoke first.
“Vice Building Master Yan, now that Zheng Fuyun has joined Stars Tower, his internal rank should be determined.”
“Internal rank?”
Yan Kun’s expression suddenly turned cold.
“He just joined Stars Tower today.
Other than an ordinary mber, what rank does he want?”
“Could it be that Master Hai wants to vouch for him, allowing him to advance directly to a teor?”
“Indeed, I want to vouch for him, but not just for any ordinary teor position, but directly within the seventy-two teors, ranked sixty-seventh!”
Yan Kun’s expression suddenly froze, and not just his, but even so of the mbers who had co to witness the occasion seed to be wearing odd expressions.
After his face stiffened, Yan Kunshan sneered with false laughter, “Master Hai, are you disregarding the rules of Stars Tower?
Even if backed by a Tower Master, one can’t just directly advance to the seventy-two teors, can they?
Besides, Master Hai, the issue of you handing out the Fragrant Pill King’s invitation against the rules has not been resolved yet, and now you want to let a newcor directly advance to the seventy-two teors?
If you don’t have a reasonable explanation, I may have to make contact with the Main Building.”
“Feel free, I, Hai Luoshuang, do everything in accordance with the rules of the building.
If you feel dissatisfied, go ahead and report it to the Main Building.”
“Everything in accordance with the building’s rules, what a joke!
Do you even have any regard for the rules of Stars Tower?”
“Vice Building Master Yan, you can eat ssily, but you can’t just say whatever you want.
I, Hai Luoshuang, have always prioritized the rules of the building in my actions.
Which part did not follow the building’s rules?” Hai Luoshuang’s face was covered in frost.
“Let’s not talk about now, what about the day before yesterday’s matter with the Fragrant Pill King’s invitation?
You owe an explanation.
Soone in the building offered five million taels of gold for the Fragrant Pill King’s invitation, yet you silently gave it away, disregarding the rules of Stars Tower,” Yan Kunshan accused.
The arguing between the two clarified the situation for Ye Zhen; it seed the trouble all started because of him.
“Vice Building Master Yan, the one who wanted to buy the Fragrant Pill King’s invitation was none other than you, wasn’t it?
Why hide it?”
“So what if it was ?
In the end, you casually handed out the Fragrant Pill King’s invitation to others, breaking the rules of the Tower.”
“Who said I casually gave it away?
The Fragrant Pill King’s invitation was clearly bought by soone!”
“Bought?
Sothing that I, the Deputy Tower Master, was interested in was actually snapped up by soone else?
Then what is the point of my priority in rank within Stars Tower?
This is not breaking the rules…”
“Vice Building Master Yan, don’t forget that my priority as Tower Master is higher than yours.”
Hearing this, Yan Kun’s expression suddenly froze, “You bought it?
How co I was not aware?”
“Do I need to report my actions to you?”
“No need to report, but how do we know that you really bought it?”
Hai Luoshuang glanced sideways with her phoenix eyes towards an elder beside her, who imdiately stepped forward and said, “Vice Building Master Yan, there indeed was a transaction from Master Hai the day before yesterday for five million taels of gold, and it has been recorded.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen also froze, realizing that was how he got the Fragrant Pill King’s invitation.
This favor, indeed, was a large debt.
“This….” Yan Kunshan’s expression instantly beca stiff.
“Even if there were no broken rules with the invitation, what about today’s matter?
You actually let a brand new mber who just joined the building directly beco one of the seventy-two teors.
Isn’t that breaking the rules?” After a mont of surprise, Yan Kunshan again raised an objection.
