First place?
Did he get the first place just like that?
To be honest, when Huang Zirui got second place, Wang Ye already knew he was first.
After killing the awakened silver ring snake demon, Wang Ye estimated that he could enter the top three, but he didn't expect to jump to first place.
But the reward for the third place seemed much better!
"Oh, thank you," Wang Ye shook hands with Huang Zirui, then took the "Ace Rookie" badge from Chief Instructor Sun, which represented the highest honor in the rookie trial.
His eyes lit up.
Gold?
That was not bad.
He could sell it when he had no money.
"Well done!" Chief Instructor Sun said words of praise, which was rare, "Your noble character is very suitable for the camp's rescue team. Are you interested in staying in the Evolution Camp and joining the rescue team to save the homeless refugees in Huaxia?"
"Noble... Could this word actually be used on me? I wonder how the instructor would feel if he knew that I killed Yu Haitao..." Wang Ye retorted in his heart.
"I haven't decided yet."
It didn't look good to reject the chief instructor in person, so Wang Ye decided to stall.
The top three students of the rookie trial could freely choose the department they wanted to join.
"Come to the base defense division," Department Head Huang walked over with a smile, "You'll be an elite talent that the guardian department will focus on nurturing. We'll provide you with resources and I guarantee that you'll become an intermediate-rank Evolver within half a year. Plus, you'll obtain the title of deputy department head. Your future is bright."
"There's no 100% chance of breaking through the genetic shackles," Chief Instructor Sun said, "Even if one's physical fitness reaches the limit of 2000, the success rate of absorbing the intermediate-rank evolution fruit is only 50%."
"What if it's the awakening fruit?" Department Head Huang smiled.
Chief Instructor Sun asked, "Is Wang Ye that outstanding?"
"That depends on whether he works hard or not and how much talent he can show,"
Department Head Huang was still all smiles.
Chief Instructor Sun scoffed, "So you're just painting a big picture."
...
The students were envious and curious as they watched the two big shots fight.
If a big shot from the gene park joined, it would be even more exciting.
"Brother Wang Ye, what are your plans?" Huang Zirui smiled.
"Go back to the apartment to sleep," Wang Ye had just taken the Evolver market's cash voucher and equipment exchange coupon from Head Instructor Li.
"I'm not talking about that," Huang Zirui said.
"Don't we have three days to consider? I'll think about it carefully," Wang Ye was very familiar with the process.
"Are you interested in going to the base defense division together?" Huang Zirui invited him.
"Did he send you here as a lobbyist?"
Wang Ye had noticed Department Head Huang and Huang Zirui chatting happily early in the morning. Since they both had the surname "Huang", their relationship was self-evident. Even if they were not father and son, they were definitely relatives.
Huang Zirui shook his head, "The gene park focuses on research and the Evolution Camp focuses on responsibility. The base defense division is more down-to-earth. It won't delay cultivation, and the future development prospects will be better."
"The internal struggle is more intense," Wang Ye hit the nail on the head.
Huang Zirui smiled, "Intense competition will train people, no? Besides, wherever there are people, there will be competition. In that case, why not choose a place with the highest limit?"
"You've convinced me," Wang Ye could feel the same ambition under Huang Zirui's handsome appearance, "But I still want to think about it."
"I'll see you three days later."
After saying that, he said goodbye to Chief Instructor Sun, Head Instructor Li, Department Head Huang, and the others.
Then, he got into the West Camp's off-road vehicle and returned to the camp.

13:30, Evolver's apartment.
After eliminating the side effects of the Red Sun Evolution Technique, Wang Ye took a short afternoon nap, then made a video call.
"Big brother, did you succeed?" An oval-faced girl with two ponytails appeared in the video.
This was his younger sister, Wang Xinchen, who was 12 years old and had just started her first year of middle school.
"What else could it be? Could it be that it's a ghost who's talking to you?" Wang Ye smiled and asked, "Where's mom? Why didn't she pick up the video call?"
"She should be back soon," Wang Xinchen looked at the time.
"Did she go to work part-time again?" Wang Ye saw through his mother's whereabouts from his sister's expression, "Mom's health isn't good. Let her rest more. Tell her that I've already become an Evolver and that I'll support the family in the future."
"Okay! When are you coming back?" Wang Xinchen nodded and smiled happily, revealing two dimples.
"The night after tomorrow..."
The two of them chatted happily for a while before ending the call.
"My mother is the same. She just can't settle down," Shu Meng'ou said softly beside him, "They always do their best to give their children a better life."
"Mothers..." Wang Ye sighed.
If it wasn't for the catastrophe that happened five years ago and the disappearance of the original owner of this body's father, the family wouldn't have become so poor.
"In the future, with an ace rookie like you, your family will finally have a good life," Shu Meng'ou looked at Wang Ye with bright eyes.
When Wang Ye came back and told her about it, she had been completely stunned.
By the time she came back to her senses, her eyes were wet.
No one knew better than her how much Wang Ye had sacrificed behind the scenes. He was injured almost every day, but he had never retreated.
This was her man!
"If you keep looking at me like that, you'll have to bear the consequences," Wang Ye teased.
Doctor Shu was a little different from usual today. Perhaps, he should be able to unlock the uniform play?
"Come on then," Shu Meng'ou smiled charmingly.
...
Half an hour later.
"Huaxia Evolver Management Center."
Wang Ye turned on the camera on his laptop and ran facial recognition.
Verification passed!
He had just passed the rookie trial in the morning, and his identity information had already been recorded in the afternoon.
"It's quite efficient."
Wang Ye entered a new page that only true Evolvers were qualified to enter through bound IDs. There was only one ID per person.
The page consisted of three modules.
The rippling mirror that flickered with light looked like a 2D version of Moon Web.
Evolver information, Evolver market, Evolver forum.
He clicked on "Evolver information" and saw that there were many subcategories.
It included the introduction of genetic warriors and ability users, the distribution of monster types, as well as various training videos and experiences in the wild.
Basically, it could be considered an upgraded version of the Evolved Camp's intranet.
The most special thing about it was that there were real-time updates on the latest movements of the ten cosmic monsters!
Cosmic monsters were transcendental existences that appeared out of thin air in the year 2045 along with the red light.
They destroyed the world, wreaked havoc and terror, and wherever they went, lives were plunged into misery.
No Evolver could resist them.
The 10 cosmic monsters are scattered all over the world. They have destroyed countless countries and base cities with their strength.
Moreover, they were ten completely different types.
There was the beautiful Demon Princess with well-developed chest muscles.
There was the Sea King Merman, the king of the sea who had a human body and a fish's tail.
There was the Demon Baby whose hair had not even fully grown and whose laughter was terrifying.
There was the Giant Tree that was as tall as skyscrapers and bore strange fruits.
There was the Giant Turtle that was the size of an island and was of an unknown age.
The ten red dots of light were like ten death omens.
Up until now, not a single base city could escape the possibility of being destroyed by them.
"There are three closest to Huaxia," Wang Ye took a deep breath.
The nearest one was only 775 kilometers away from Huaxia, and less than 1000 kilometers away from the Eastern Base City!
Fortunately, it was the Giant Turtle that moved slowly, and it was across the ocean.
The other cosmic monster relatively near Huaxia was 1800 km away from the Northwest Base City, and another was 2700 km away from the South Base City. They were not a big threat for now.
That being said, if humans did not produce Evolvers who could match those cosmic monsters, the apocalypse would only get worse.
"I have to increase my strength. Otherwise, when the cosmic monsters attack the Eastern Base City, it will be difficult to even protect myself."
To Wang Ye, killing Yu Haitao was just removing a small thorn in his side.
The apocalypse was the real crisis. A crisis for all mankind!
He went to the Evolver market to take a look and realized that poverty had limited his imagination.
One bottle of HF1 healing potion, 10000 yuan.
The cheapest thin combat suit, made of fiber, was 35000 yuan.
The equipment exchange coupons awarded to the top ten in the rookie trial could only be exchanged for a combat suit with a defense that could barely be considered "standard".
Wang Ye scanned through the items one by one and soon discovered that the Flowing Light Combat Suit Yu Haitao was wearing was priced at 250000 yuan.
As for the one Huang Zirui was wearing... He couldn't find it.
The price of weapons was even higher than the combat suits.
Due to the difference in materials and the fact that weapons required more detailed design and tempering, the price was often double that of combat suits.
Wang Ye now understood how "expensive" his reward was.
He would get a set of personal equipment from the gene park's laboratory.
In his rough estimation, a complete combat suit plus weapons was probably worth more than 3 million... Or maybe even higher.
There was nothing much to see on the Evolver forum. It was a platform for Evolvers to communicate.
The Evolvers of the ten base cities chatted here, expressing their personal opinions and suggestions. There wasn't much useful information.
Wang Ye scanned through it, then turned off his computer and started cultivating.
Strength was the absolute truth!
The cosmic monsters around the world were wreaking havoc and humanity was being besieged, making him feel a strong sense of danger.
This was the real apocalypse!
...
Early in the morning, in the cultivation room.
Wang Ye ended an all-nighter of cultivation.
To him, working hard was something that had long been engraved in his DNA.
"It has increased."
Wang Ye looked at his interface.
After a day of training, he advanced from a level 1 genetic warrior (96%) to a level 2 genetic warrior (2%).
Only his body had improved. There weren't many other changes.
It wasn't a leap in his life level.
From levels 1 to 3, genetic warriors were considered beginner-rank Evolvers and would not have any bottlenecks.
"In other words, the perfection level Basic Red Sun Evolution Technique can increase one's physical fitness by about 20 points per day."
Wang Ye did some calculations.
It was very high.
Simply put, as long as he maintained his current cultivation speed, he would be able to break through and become a level 3 genetic warrior within a month!
As expected of the perfection level! It was a level that most Evolvers could not reach in their entire lives.
He was simply extremely talented!
