Wang Ye slept very soundly because the simulation had been too long and he was exhausted.

When he woke up the next morning, he was in great spirits!

First, he washed up, then he washed Xiao Jiu’s feathers, ground its claws, and carefully cleaned it up. After that, he let the white python out and washed it as well before feeding it.

“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu flapped its wings and flew to the front of Wang Ye with its head to the front as if saying “Get on, let’s go!”

“You’re still so little. If you want to carry me, I’m afraid it’s a tad too early,” Wang Ye glanced at it.

The green sparrow was a small bird-type pet.

After a few months of growth, compared to its previous appearance which was barely more than ten centimeters, it could only be said that there was but a small difference in its size.

It was unrealistic for the green sparrow to carry people, though carrying the white python was plausible.

They arrived at the headquarters of the Investigation Corps and headed towards the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb secret realm via flying by riding on Commander Lin’s blazing sky falcon.

A faint layer of energy barrier rose around the blazing sky falcon’s wings, blocking out the hurricanes and cold currents of the high altitude.

Apart from Commander Lin Rou herself, there was also Tang Xiong and three other trainee investigators.

“How are your preparations going?” Tang Xiong’s expression was serious, “The official investigator assessment is very difficult. You will, after all, often have to face all kinds of powerful fierce beasts, power of strangeness, and even enter the dark fog to carry out missions. Before the assessment, prepare yourselves mentally. The Sealed Demon Sword Tomb is a very special medium secret realm. There are vicious fierce beasts roaming about and all kinds of complicated and strange terrains. It’s extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, your life might even be in danger. If you can’t pass the test in your heart before the assessment, you can choose to quit beforehand. No one will blame you if you choose to be a reserve investigator.”

The investigators looked at each other, and no one said a word.

“Not bad!” Tang Xiong nodded, “Your basic qualities are not bad. You have to remember that being an investigator has both dangers and opportunities. Perhaps it is far from being comfortable compared to working in the city, in schools, or in enterprises, but you may also encounter opportunities that you can not imagine. Opportunities that would allow the ordinary you to break through your upper limits. That being said, at the same time, when you become an investigator, you have to fulfill your obligations and responsibilities. This assessment is a chance to test you. Next, let’s briefly talk about the contents and requirements of the assessment…”

The journey was not far.

With the blazing sky falcon’s steady speed, Tang Xiong had finished saying all that he had to say in half an hour, and after he had finished speaking, they had almost arrived at the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb.

It was a desolate space about 100 kilometers away from Yaoguang City.

In fact, it was huge. Its real area was comparable to a small county like Anping County.

From the outside, the secret realm couldn’t be seen.

One had to pass through a layer of spatial membrane before they could enter.

Therefore, before they entered, most of the investigators were looking forward to it.

“This time, there will be a total of dozens of trainee investigators participating. They’re from the surrounding counties with Yaoguang City as the center. The assessment is divided into three stages. As long as you can pass the first stage, you will become an official investigator. According to the previous elimination rate, it would be around 50%. Considering that the assessment this time is located in the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb, the difficulty will be even higher, so I suppose the elimination rate should be around 70%. Your goal is just to pass the first stage. The contents of the first stage are very simple. Around the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb, there are three cycles. The first cycle is called the God Burial Mausoleum where there are countless corpses and many level-one and level-two fierce beasts around. It’s very dangerous. You just need to find the specific materials and kill a certain number of fierce beasts to pass,” Tang Xiong only said the contents of the first stage.

He was not interested to say anything about the rest.

His meaning was, as such, very clear. It was enough for them to just pass the first stage.

“By the way, the more materials you find, the better. After the assessment, those materials that you don’t need will be yours. You can send them for value estimations and exchange them for money. The assessment will last for three days. As for the other specific requirements of the assessment, you can figure them out yourself later. Now, go to the camp in front and register.”

Jumping down from the blazing sky falcon, there was a camp in front of the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb.

It was the headquarters of the assessment and was surrounded by all kinds of powerful pet guards. There were also military pet commandment eagles patrolling in the air.

After entering the camp, they just needed to show their investigator badges to register, then wait for the secret realm to open.

However, after entering the camp, Wang Ye saw an acquaintance.

Ming Zhu.

Probably noticing Wang Ye as well, Ming Zhu smiled and waved.

“Instructor Tang, Young Miss Ming Zhu is also participating in the assessment?” Wang Ye asked casually.

“She’s the sponsor of the assessment,” Tang Xiong said with a smile, “Do you think that holding such an assessment is free? Every time a medium secret realm is opened, it requires a lot of beastmasters and pets as escorts. At the same time, you can sell to them the materials that you have collected in the secret realm that won’t be needed for the assessment. Mingguang Enterprise can be considered a conscientious enterprise in Xinghai Province. They’ll buy the materials at a price higher than the market price. There are also the assessment rewards that will be distributed to you. Do you really think that a mere county Investigation Corps can have that much money? A portion of those is sponsored by Mingguang Enterprise.”

“Is Mingguang Enterprises that rich?” An investigator couldn’t help but ask, “It’s just a small enterprise though…”

“It is a small enterprise, but an industrial enterprise that is supported by the state,” Lin Rou walked over and looked at the few young investigators, “They might not be able to earn much money, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have money. Let’s put it this way. They don’t get a high annual net profit out of their main business, but the annual revenue they generate is at least tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, or even more… Though most of it is spent as expenses.”
