Interstellar Farming: I Make Potions and Climb to the Top

The possibility of graduating early was a huge temptation for many students from average families who were eager to find jobs and earn money.

As for whether the early-stage teamwork model would be unfair to students with strong individual Combat Power but no backing, the official response stated that students with great personal strength would have more options. They could find trustworthy classmates or powerful teams to join. As long as they had real strength, they would be welcome anywhere.

The Federation Government’s explanation sparked further discussion on the Star Network.

For students with strong individual Combat Power but lacking a background, while they might not have the ready-made resources and team support of those from prominent families, it did not mean they had no chance. In fact, many squads and organizations were actively seeking such talent.

Just as the officials said, these students could absolutely join a powerful squad or form their own team with like-minded classmates through their own strength and effort.

In response to the doubts online, the military stepped forward to explain that the early adoption of a team-based format was to cope with the dangerous environment on the New Star Body.

The New Star Body was currently overrun with viruses and rampant Exotic Beasts. With its ecosystem destroyed, natural disasters occurred frequently. In such an environment, fighting alone was extremely dangerous. Teamwork could effectively address crises and increase the survival rate.

When facing powerful Exotic Beasts, teams could maximize each member’s strengths through tactical coordination and a division of labor. This model tested not only individual abilities but also a team’s cohesion and execution. After graduation, most of these students would join the military or Mercenary Corps, where they would be part of a collective rather than fighting alone. Working closely with teammates, possessing team spirit, the ability to handle crises, and strong leadership skills were all indispensable qualities for the future interstellar battlefield.

On the future interstellar battlefield, both the military and Mercenary Corps needed soldiers and commanders who could operate within a group. Therefore, this joint examination was not just a test of individual ability, but also a preview of whether students could function effectively in a collective in the future.

Although discussions on the Star Network continued, the rules were set, and all students who wanted to participate in the joint examination had to follow them.

For those students with genuine strength, this joint examination was undoubtedly a perfect opportunity to showcase and prove themselves.

As for the voices of doubt and concern, the Federation Government stated that it would continue to monitor the progress of the joint examination, ensure the fairness and safety of the assessment, and make adjustments and optimizations based on the actual situation.

Ning Xuan had just undergone a spiritual power test a few days ago, and her personal information had been updated.

Next was the Contractor information. For Chen Nan, there was little change aside from an increase in his Spiritual Power Value. Lin Mo’s spiritual power had also risen, and a Spiritual Link Channel had been established. There were no changes for Yu Mingche and Ying Yaoshi. Only Yun Han was different: his page had turned red, his status had changed from Contractor to Contracted Slave, the entries for his father and mother had been deleted, and his Spiritual Link Channel was now listed as ’Established’.

Ning Xuan looked at her Spiritual Power Value. ’Even without relying on spiritual power to enhance my medicine, I can reach S-Class spiritual power through my own Cultivation before the joint examination begins.’

In less than a year since awakening, her Spiritual Power Level was about to jump from D-level to S-Class. This was unprecedented in the Federation’s history. If Ning Xuan had not already become a force to be reckoned with, with connections to multiple factions and heavy protection around her, she would have likely been captured and controlled long ago.

In reality, she did not dare leave Central Star carelessly now, afraid she might fall victim to someone’s scheme.

Yun Han had been in the Training Institute for a month. The institute sent daily feedback on his progress, mostly in the form of video files.

The last time Lin Mo and Chen Nan went to the Controller Protection Association to receive their punishment, the president had shown Ning Xuan the booklet on the standardized management of Contractors. Its contents had been an eye-opener, and after reading it, she decided against sending Chen Nan and Lin Mo for that "education." This time, after sending Yun Han, the Training Institute sent her a detailed breakdown of the training regimen. Staring at the thick booklet, Ning Xuan was dumbfounded. The training for a Contracted Slave was far more extreme than that for a Contractor. Although Ning Xuan had anticipated this, seeing the detailed articles with her own eyes still made her feel a wave of discomfort.

The Contracted Slave training curriculum involved not only training in physical etiquette but also a great deal of psychological control and conditioning, and even included some body modification procedures.

Ning Xuan had felt that since Yun Han came from a high-status background, had achieved fame at a young age, and was used to holding great power, she was afraid he would try to boss her around. She had hoped he would quickly recognize his new status to avoid any unpleasantness later on.

But she had never intended for Yun Han to endure such extreme methods. She vaguely regretted sending him away, but since it was already done, she could not just go back on her word so quickly.

Fortunately, the Contractor held the final say on how the training was conducted. Yun Han was Ning Xuan’s Contracted Slave, so while the Training Institute was responsible for his discipline, the training content had to be sent to Ning Xuan for approval beforehand.

Ning Xuan had the Tutor show the complete training booklet to Yun Han. Then, she went through the plan and crossed out all items that would cause physical harm or have lasting effects, used drugs, involved implanting foreign objects, or consisted of body modification.

She only permitted the basic training.

Ning Xuan knew Yun Han’s strength. She had saved him with her own power and hoped he would become a partner who fought by her side, not someone transformed into a plaything with no dignity.

Ning Xuan opened the video she had just received. In it, Yun Han was kneeling inside a golden cage, dressed in a simple white robe. The body beneath the robe was exquisite. A red silk ribbon was tied over Yun Han’s eyes. His head was tilted back, his pink tongue extended as he tried his best to suckle and lick the honey hanging from the top of the cage.
