Chapter 399: Chapter 321: “Who the Hell Treats the Void Clan as Trash Mobs to Grind?!” (8k Word Mega Chapter)
After a long while,
the Snow Sea Project Team finally gave him a response. This was the first time he had activated Requesting the Mandate of Heaven, and it had taken so long for a reply. The Snow Sea Project Team usually provided him with answers quickly.

The effect of the Skill “Requesting the Mandate of Heaven” was to communicate directly with the Snow Sea Project Team.
He only needed to spend Points to get answers to most questions.
It was essentially paid consultation.
“You were lucky to have succeeded with the wager last time. We do not know the specific requirements to complete the Monument; we can only guess. Even if you annihilate the entire Void Clan, it might not trigger the Monument’s prerequisite conditions.”
...
“After all, it’s only the destruction of one Race. It’s a bit unrealistic to expect that to trigger the Monument; it has nothing to do with the strength of the Void Clan.”
“If you fail to seize the Monument and the wager is lost, you will have to pay a significant amount of Points—a very large sum.”
“What can be done for me to go to I’m Really Fucking Awesome Starfield?”
There was silence on the other end once more, before they finally spoke up after a moment.
“The Snow Sea Project Team can send you there. It’s unrelated to leveling up in the game; it’s a private maneuver by the Snow Sea Project Team. We will bear the cost, and in return, we need something from you.”
“What do you need?”
“A favor. In the future, when we need your help, we hope you can assist us with all your might.”
Chen Yi’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as he pondered for a moment before responding, “Alright, I agree.”
“Give me the specifics on the number of people and the timing; I will grant you access.”
…
Meanwhile,
above Blue Star, in a massive office where the words “Snow Sea Project Team” were embedded on a wall, all the staff stood up at their stations with complicated expressions, looking towards the man in front.
“Sigh!”
After an indeterminable time, Jin Buhuan, the person in charge of the Snow Sea Project Team, who was sitting with his feet crossed on the desk, hands in his pockets, sighed lightly as he looked at the reply on the large screen in front of him and shook his head with a sense of helplessness.
“What are you looking at me for? Go process the application, clock it in.”
“Last time, Chen Yi earned two Monuments, which awarded us with two S-grade complimentary free passes, didn’t it?”
“Let’s use one of those now for Chen Yi.”
“Let him go out first.”
“But…”
At that moment, a staff member couldn’t hold back anymore, stepped forward, stood in front of Jin Buhuan, and whispered with a quivering voice, “But if we keep these two S-grade free passes, when Blue Star elevates to a Threefold planet,”
“We can leave the Project Team’s ranks, and all our clan members become regular players again.”
“We won’t have to live this inhuman existence anymore, and won’t have to pay off that astronomical debt.”
“These are S-grade free passes we’re talking about. Without these, when will we be able to revive our Race? Is exchanging one for a favor from Chen Yi really worth it?”
“Alright, alright.”
Jin Buhuan, feeling somewhat irritable, waved his hand saying, “Of course I know that we want to free ourselves from the debt and revive our Race sooner; I want to revive our Race more than any of you. But have you ever considered, that even if we help Blue Star advance to a Threefold Planet and our Race is revived, with our Race having fallen behind for so long, can we really establish ourselves well in the upgraded game?”
“We can’t!”
“To put it bluntly, it’s possible that we might be revived only to be annihilated again immediately afterward!”
“But if we use this chance with the S-grade pass to gain a favor from Chen Yi, when our Race is revived in the future, with Chen Yi watching over us, we will recover our strength quicker, won’t we?”
“That’s when we’ll truly be revived!”
“And it’s just one S-grade pass being used; there’s still another one, right? One is enough. We’d only have to wait another three or four years. We’ve waited this long already; what’s a few more years?”
“Stop looking so gloomy. Since I’m the person in charge, you’ll listen to me; go process Chen Yi’s approval and don’t keep him waiting anxiously.”
“Did everyone get that?”
The employees exchanged looks, understanding yet still begrudgingly muttered in unison with obvious reluctance.
“Understood.”
S-grade free passes.
These were extremely valuable items, only available to the Project Team when a player serving as the runner-up won a Monument in the game’s upgrade. This illustrated just how precious the pass really was.
How many people in the entire upgrade game could capture a Monument?
Even the Annihilation Starfield hadn’t received this privilege, it was only available to the Project Teams.
And now, this privilege was being used for Chen Yi.
While the forces of players during the Newbie Protection Period were generally not very high, the rules of the Protection Period were exceptionally robust, designed to shield new players better or, to put it another way, to make competition among new players more equitable.
Many of the rules during the Novice Period were top-grade permissions.
For example, the bounty for exterminating a race obtained by Chen Yi in the Annihilation Starfield could not be activated to this day because new players cannot receive any offerings from the outside world.
These rules were strict.
And new players cannot leave their initial Starfield, another rule just as strict, so high that except in special cases, specific special methods must be used.
…
Soon, Chen Yi received the information.
After carefully protecting and packing away the two larvae, he called over Jiaye and the others, announcing preparations for an interstellar journey, ready to take them to see worlds unlike any other.
