Soon, the group reached the exit. The glass doors opened automatically and they stepped out of the admission department building.
As they walked through the campus, Mo Yuan casually looked around.
’Hmm, I wasn’t able to find any good talents in the admission department either.’
He had scanned quite a few people during the registration process but none of them had caught his attention. The two guards at the entrance were still the best talents he had found so far.
Looking around, he noticed that the campus was unusually quiet. There were barely any students in sight and most of the paths were completely empty.
’Are they on vacation? Is that why the campus is so empty?’
Unable to hold back his curiosity, he turned toward David.
"Senior, why is the campus so empty? I barely saw any students."
David smiled and explained, "It’s vacation time right now, so there are no regular classes. Most students are either resting in their dorms or training in the special cultivation rooms provided by the academy."
He then added, "And the only reason we’re allowed to enter the campus so easily is because of the vacation. During the academic session, visitors have to go through a lengthy process before they’re allowed inside."
Hearing this, Mo Yuan nodded.
’So that’s how it is.’
He then thought about the two talents he had discovered earlier.
’In that case, I should copy Jay’s Ultimate Grade Ice Talent and Exceptional Grade Cultivation Talent. Since I haven’t found anything better, these two are good choices.’
He wasn’t particularly disappointed with the results. An Exceptional Grade Cultivation Talent would still help improve his cultivation speed, while the Ultimate Grade Ice Talent would make it much easier for him to get the Ice Elemental Qi.
Each type of elemental Qi could provide a threefold increase in strength. The more elemental types he could cultivate, the greater his overall strength would become.
He had already planned to collect as many elemental talents as possible. This was simply another step toward that goal.
Soon, they reached the main entrance of the academy. The guards noticed their group and opened the gates for them.
As Mo Yuan stepped outside, he finally decided to use his Copy and Paste Talent.
’Let’s copy them first.’
Both talents copied successfully.
Would you like to paste them now?
Yes / No
’Not right now.’
He chose to delay pasting the talents and would paste them when he would reach the hotel.
Meanwhile, David led everyone back toward the bus stop they had used earlier.
"Alright, let’s buy everyone a phone."
He looked at the others before continuing, "Even if some of you don’t pass the Human Federation Academy entrance test, you can still apply to other academies. There’s no need to waste another year waiting for this one."
Hearing this, Mu Shaobei, Mu Qingying, Qin Wushang and Ming Yue nodded.
They weren’t completely confident about getting into the Human Federation Academy. After all, the competition here was on an entirely different level.
However, they were quite certain that Mo Yuan would pass.
David glanced down the road and noticed the approaching bus.
"There’s no need to think too much about it right now. The bus is here. Let’s go."
Everyone boarded the bus and it soon started moving.
David explained, "Since we’re currently in District Two, we’ll buy the phones here. After that, we’ll return to our hotel in District Twenty-Six and take some rest."
The others nodded in agreement.
About five minutes later, the bus stopped near a large commercial market. The group got off and followed David toward one of the biggest electronics stores in the area.
A large sign hung above its entrance.
H.F. Phones and Electronics.
The letters H.F. stood for Human Federation.
As soon as they entered, an employee approached them with a welcoming smile.
"Welcome! How may I help you?"
David explained that they wanted to purchase phones for everyone. The employee immediately led them toward the latest models.
After looking through several options, they settled on the H.F. 19, the latest model available.
It came with a powerful processor, 2 TB of storage, and all the basic features needed for communication and daily use.
Each phone cost fifty million yuan.
Mo Yuan glanced at the price and didn’t think much of it.
’Fifty million? That’s nothing.’
The currency used in the Holy Base had a different name but its value was pegged to the same amount as the yuan. There was no complicated exchange rate to worry about.
Mo Yuan had around 180 billion yuan with him, so buying a few phones was hardly a concern.
Before anyone could take out their money, he paid for all the phones himself.
"Buddy I’ll pay for mine," Mu Shaobei said.
Mo Yuan shook his head. "It’s fine. Just keep it."
He didn’t even give the others a chance to argue. Even David’s tired to pay for them but Mo Yuan denied.
After completing the purchase, the employees helped them set up their SIM cards. These SIM cards only worked within the Holy Base but that was enough for their current needs.
Once everything was ready, the group left the store.
"Alright, let’s return to District Twenty-Six. Once we’re back at the hotel, I’ll explain how to use these phones."
Everyone nodded and followed David.
They returned to the bus stop and soon boarded another bus. After reaching the nearby metro station, they entered the station and took the metro back toward District Twenty-Six.
The group found some empty seats and sat down.
Mo Yuan casually looked around the train.
There were people of different ages and appearances, some chatting with their companions while others were busy looking at their phones.
As usual, he didn’t waste the opportunity. His Copy and Paste Talent quietly spread through the train, scanning everyone within its range.
However, the results were just as disappointing as before.
He couldn’t find a single talent worth copying.
’Well, now that I have two new talents waiting to be pasted, I’ll think about later what to copy next. I still have some time before receiving my mission and I should be able to complete it and secure admission into the Human Federation Academy.’
He leaned back in his seat and relaxed.
The metro continued moving through the massive Holy Base, passing through several stations before finally reaching District Twenty-Six.
The group got off and left the station.
Their hotel was only a short walk away, so they didn’t need to take another bus.
With David leading the way, they soon arrived at the hotel where they would be staying.
