Seeing that they had succeeded, Lin Yao said, "Let’s hurry up and rush over."
Both of them were quite bold, and they even started running on the wooden bridge, startling the onlookers.
When they reached the opposite cliff, they repeated a similar maneuver. One pulled with a vine while the other sprayed poison, their coordination flawless.
The poisonous spray took down the Gu Diao, and Lin Yao casually picked the Mu Cha.
As Meng Xingchen had said, among the leaves on the tree, only a few dozen were different. The true Mu Cha leaves were thicker and had a vibrant color, while the others were just ordinary leaves.
After they finished picking the tea and returned to the shore, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers. Some even wanted to lift the two of them up and toss them into the air in celebration.
Lin Yao quickly stopped their excitement, saying, "We’ve already wasted too much time; we need to focus on completing the exam first."
Yao Beiluo stepped in to help diffuse the situation as well. "Let’s hurry up and set off; we can celebrate after the exam is over."
For the next three days, there were no further incidents, and everyone was determined to make progress.
Finally, on the afternoon of the fifteenth day, most people gradually arrived at the exam's endpoint at Lin Tai Mountain.
By five o'clock in the evening, the supervising officials announced that the practical exam had officially concluded.
The starship designated for picking up the exam candidates landed shortly after, with those waiting already prepared to board under command.
Those who had exceeded their time without completing the exam were singled out by hidden examiners and also taken onto the starship.
After fifteen consecutive days of outdoor survival exams, both physical and mental exhaustion weighed heavily on everyone. Once inside the safe starship, fatigue washed over them quickly.
There was no time for further conversation; everyone hurried into their assigned dormitories to wash up and sleep.
The star's location was somewhat remote, at least two days of travel from the nearest habitable star.
Lin Yao slept for about ten hours before waking up again; she couldn’t lie still any longer and thought about heading to the cafeteria for something to eat.
To her surprise, she ran into Yao Beiluo, who seemed to have recovered just as quickly as she did.
She wondered how he managed it since she had trained in battlefields for a long time.
"Captain Lin, you’re awake so early too?" he asked.
"Yeah," she replied. "I’m not too tired after those last three days. What’s there to eat in the cafeteria? I’m hungry."
"The fried rice here is pretty good, and the beef is decent too," he said. "But it’s all ordinary ingredients."
In interstellar cuisine, there are two types of food: ordinary food and energy food.
Energy food is made from exotic plants and beasts, and consuming it over a long period can enhance physical abilities, supernatural powers, and improve one's constitution. Ordinary food, on the other hand, merely fills the stomach.
Upon boarding the examination starship, everything provided is free, including food, which cannot possibly be energy food. It's fine; after eating barbecued meat and nutritional supplements for over ten days, a change in flavor would be nice. Have you tried it yet, Captain Yao?
I just had some.
Lin Yao chatted casually with Yao Beiluo while eating. By the way, I wanted to ask you something. Since we obtained the Pure Source Fruit, can we privately purchase one?
During the examination process, they acquired exotic plants and beasts. Aside from the examination tasks that need to be reported, they could choose to handle the rest themselves or exchange them for credits. However, since the Pure Source Fruit and Eye Tea were obtained from the exam site, they needed to be allocated based on contribution points, which meant they couldn't handle it themselves. They could only choose to report it and let the invigilators help calculate their contribution points before proceeding with the allocation.
I'm not too sure about that either. How about I accompany you to ask the chief examiner?
The chief examiner was an older man who looked slightly worn out. Upon hearing their intent, he frowned as if trying to squash a fly. Lin Yao thought it might not be possible and was pondering when she heard the chief examiner exclaim in frustration: Speaking of this makes my heart ache. That’s Pure Source Fruit! How could you waste it like this? You picked it before it was ripe! Don’t you know how much less effective it is when unripe? The purification effect is minuscule!
Sir, wasn’t it you who set up this examination obstacle for us? If we didn’t drive away the giant python, how could we cross the river? Yao Beiluo calmly countered without caring about the chief examiner's anger.
We did set up the giant python as an obstacle to increase the difficulty of the exam, but we had no idea there was Pure Source Fruit there! At this point, even the invigilator felt he had lost some ground but still struggled to contain his anger. Tell me this: when you discovered the level five giant python, you knew to report it; why didn’t you report finding the Pure Source Fruit?
Hearing this, Yao Beiluo glanced at Lin Yao as if asking her why she hadn’t chosen to report it at that time instead of going through such a complicated plan to pick unripe Pure Source Fruit.
Sir, would you really be willing to part with something like that? Lin Yao’s words struck deeper than Yao Beiluo’s. But at a critical moment, she quickly added: Besides, while it's a pity that we picked unripe Pure Source Fruit, it's not entirely beyond saving.
Saving it? You’ve already picked it; how can it be saved? The chief examiner glared at her.
With wood-type energy manipulation, we can activate the fruit's energy. The maturity level remains unchanged, but its effectiveness increases significantly.
This is an enhancement method.
If I hadn’t known about this method beforehand, I wouldn’t have chosen to pick unripe fruit. However, she hadn’t anticipated that such methods didn’t exist in the Yunmeng Star System.
“How do you stimulate it?” The examiner looked skeptical.
“Do you have any immature fruit? I can demonstrate it for you,” Lin Yao replied.
The examiner immediately rummaged through his spatial pouch and pulled out a half-ripe, ordinary exotic fruit.
Lin Yao took it, holding it seriously in her hands. “With wood-type abilities, we can locate the energy source of the fruit. Once found, we infuse wood energy into it to enhance that energy source. However, when infusing energy, be careful not to exceed the limit; otherwise, it might explode.”
The examiner, also a wood-type ability user, watched as Lin Yao completed the stimulation process. He took the fruit and used his wood energy to probe it, discovering that its energy was full and comparable to that of an immature fruit.
He pulled out another fruit to test it himself. After confirming its viability, he nodded.
“Alright then. In light of your contribution with this method, I’ll give you a pure source fruit for free!”
Lin Yao was immensely grateful. “Thank you, teacher!”
“Don’t mention it; you’ve earned this. Your method for stimulating growth is worth this much,” he replied.
This method was something Lin Yao had specially researched back in the Guangxing System when she had no other options. She wasn’t sure how much it was worth, but she knew that by signing in to stimulate the pure source fruit and turning it into a purification potion for sale, she could easily multiply its value several times over.
With this, she estimated she wouldn’t have to worry about her living and cultivation expenses for a long time and could focus on improving her strength with peace of mind.
