364: Star Storage Hall 364: Star Storage Hall “Star Storage Hall…”
Su Yuan followed the map in the Black Card to the Star Storage Hall.
The Star Storage Hall was a place that stored Star Devices, Star Cards, and various precious items. It was located on the east side of the Sky Patrol Department.
From Vermilion Bird Imperial to the Star Storage Hall, Su Yuan headed directly north at a rapid pace. Soon enough, he arrived in front of the Star Storage Hall as shown on the map.
“Truly magnificent and awe-inspiring…”
Even though the map inside the Black Card had 3D models, seeing this Star Storage Hall with his own eyes still left Su Yuan quite shocked.
The Star Storage Hall was immense and uniquely shaped.
It had a multilayered square structure, which was narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. A spiral pathway connected it upwards to a super large transparent celestial sphere above.
Inside the celestial sphere, countless stars of various colors moved slowly as the sphere rotated.
Upon closer inspection, those stars were none other than Star Cards emitting a faint glow!
At a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of Star Cards, mostly blue and purple, with a few golden ones faintly visible among them!
Not to mention anything else, just setting up the barrier of this Star Storage Hall required Grandmaster-level skill.
It might even need multiple Barrier Masters to design and set up together.
“Newcomer?”
Just as Su Yuan was marveling at the grandeur of the Star Storage Hall, a voice suddenly came from beside him.
Su Yuan’s eyes twitched slightly. Turning his head, he saw someone had unknowingly walked up next to him.
Although he was somewhat shocked by the Star Storage Hall, this person managed to approach him without his noticing. They must be quite remarkable.
Su Yuan carefully observed the person, noting their short purple hair and silver combat uniform.
Since members of the Sky Patrol Department often needed to go on assignments, wearing uniforms was not mandatory except for gatherings.
As for Su Yuan’s uniform… According to the “Entry-level Guide,” people from the comprehensive department would deliver several suitable sets based on the registered size later.
Furthermore, this person had a fresh-looking scar on the left side of their face.
Su Yuan found it quite surprising. Normally, for someone at the Shining Star Level, ordinary scars should not be difficult to heal unless it involved serious injuries like losing a limb.
“Vermilion Bird Imperial, Su Yuan,” Su Yuan introduced himself.
The purple-haired youth also glanced at Su Yuan a few times before responding, “Vermilion Bird Imperial, Yan Changming.”
After speaking, the person walked straight into the Star Storage Hall.
“Yan Changming…”
Su Yuan watched the back of the other person, deep in thought, then followed inside the Star Storage Hall.
The square grand hall at the bottom of the Star Storage Hall had four levels, each filled with numerous crystal-like booklets densely arranged throughout the hall.
“Special Envoy Yan? You’re back! It’s been a while!” exclaimed a handsome young man sitting at the entrance, smiling as he greeted Yan Changming.
“Just returned recently.” Yan Changming glanced at the young man indifferently while swiping his Black Card on the pillar at the entrance, then proceeded inside.
Su Yuan, who came in afterward, mimicked this action by swiping his Black Card on the pillar. He nodded at the handsome young man on duty and prepared to go inside.
The handsome young man smiled and asked, “Are you the new Special Envoy?”
Su Yuan nodded and replied, “Vermilion Bird Imperial, Su Yuan. I just joined today.”
“My name is Jiang Lang. Since it’s your first time here, I assume you’re here to claim the entry reward Purple Card?”
“That’s right.”
“I thought so,” Jiang Lang smiled, then reminded, “With your authority, you can go up to the second floor. However, even on the second floor, not every Purple Card can be exchanged.”
Su Yuan pondered for a moment and smiled, “Special Envoy Jiang, please enlighten me.”
Jiang Lang explained, “Epic Purple Cards also vary in level and rarity, so their values differ. This should be known to Su Envoy.
Generally, Sky Patrol Envoys exchange treasures from the Star Storage Hall using their accumulated ‘Battle Merits.’
However, the Purple Card awarded to new envoys upon joining is distributed based on the rating of the entry task with one-time ‘Temporary Battle Merit’:
Qualified: 1,000 points of Temporary Battle Merit.
Good: 2,000 points of Temporary Battle Merit.
Excellent: 3,000 points of Temporary Battle Merit.
Transcendent… The difficulty of the entry task is limited, so a Transcendent rating is impossible.
The higher the rating, the more Purple Cards you can exchange. Which Purple Cards are available, Su Envoy can check the Star Catalogue to find out.”
The Star Catalogue referred to those crystal booklets on display.
Su Yuan sensed his Black Card with his spiritual power, indeed finding an additional 3,000 points of Temporary Battle Merit.
Su Yuan asked in surprise, “Special Envoy Jiang, is there really a 1,000-point difference in Temporary Battle Merit for each rating?”
Jiang Lang chuckled, “It’s normal. Getting a ‘Good’ or ‘Excellent’ task rating is several times more difficult! And this is just Temporary Battle Merit, which can only be consumed once without other planning.”
Su Yuan thought for a moment, then smiled, “Thank you, Special Envoy Jiang, for the reminder.”
