In the Governor's office, Lorenzo was handling official business.
"Hmm?"
Lorenzo looked up in confusion, towards the door, "Why is that little guy here?"
Although he was busy as the Governor of Kuka Planet, he had always been paying attention to Ender's skill improvement.
It was just that he had changed from checking the footage once a day to once every few days.
The last time Lorenzo checked the footage was a few days ago, when Ender's combat skills had just touched upon Perfection. He didn't think he could raise his skills to the Perfection Rank within a few days.
"Could he be thinking of giving up? From previous observations, he values his Family greatly, so it's impossible for him to give up!"
He went from suspicion to denial in an instant.
Ding!
The doorbell rang.
"Come in."
Ender pushed the door open and entered the room, "Governor."
"Ender Royce, is there something you need me for?"
Lorenzo asked first, then intended to provoke him further, "Do you think you can't fulfill my request, so you're admitting defeat?"
"No! I'm here to ask you, Governor, to honor your promise!"
Although Ender's demeanor was respectful, his words were sharp!
"Ask me to honor the promise? So, your combat skills have reached the Perfection Rank?"
Lorenzo smiled; he felt his efforts had not been in vain.
Ender shook his head, "No!"
"No?"
Lorenzo frowned slightly, a bit displeased, "Since it's not, then are you here to play a trick…"
Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened, somewhat incredulous!
The reflection in his eyes was covered by a green light.
Ender took a step forward, and an endless green light, centered on him, rapidly spread outwards!
In the blink of an eye, except for the desk where Lorenzo was, the rest of the room was enveloped by the vibrant Wood Gene Energy!
"Domain!"
Even Lorenzo couldn't help but show astonishment, "He actually comprehended a Domain!"
At this moment, Ender's voice came from the center of the Domain, "Governor, although I haven't raised my skills to the Perfection Rank, I have comprehended a Domain!"
"He had just touched upon the Perfection Rank, how could he directly comprehend a Domain! When did he comprehend the Artistic Conception?"
Lorenzo sighed in surprise; he had been paying attention to Ender, but he hadn't noticed any signs of him comprehending an Artistic Conception.
But soon, he felt relieved.
Indeed, someone who could make Frank, the Domain Master in charge of the Empire's Planet Management Department, pay special attention to him, must be a Genius watched by the great World Master Molten Rock.
And for such a Genius to possess such talent was normal.
Ender saw that Lorenzo had no reaction and spoke up to remind him. "Governor?"
"Very good!"
Lorenzo reacted, and to cover his gaffe, he praised without reservation: "Ender Royce! You are indeed a Genius favored by the Empire's higher-ups!"
Ender humbly said, "You flatter me, Governor."
Lorenzo waved his hand, "Alright, now you can retract your Domain, let's talk."
Hearing this, Ender retracted his Domain and listened quietly.
Collecting his scattered thoughts, Lorenzo slowly said, "To be honest, when we made the agreement, I thought it was possible for you to raise your skills to the Perfection Rank within a year!"
"But comprehending a Domain was impossible; adding that condition was merely to motivate you."
"But I didn't expect you to actually comprehend a Domain!"
Ender comprehending a Domain gave Lorenzo a headache; when he set the condition of comprehending a Domain, he never thought he could complete it.
But since he completed the agreement, as a Universe Level expert with status, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word.
So, Lorenzo said, "You have completed the agreement, so I will give you the Low Grade Second-Order Telekinesis Weapon, Blood Edge Blade, as a reward, as per the agreement."
"However, the Stellar Training Camp does not allow weapons and equipment, so I cannot guarantee that you can bring the Blood Edge Blade in."
Ender's expression froze, "What! The Stellar Training Camp prohibits bringing in weapons and equipment!"
If he couldn't bring it into the Stellar Training Camp, what use would the Blood Edge Blade be to him?
Leave it with the Family?
Kuka Planet had no dangers, so keeping the Blood Edge Blade would be useless.
Thinking of this, he frowned slightly, unsure of what to do for a moment.
"Heh."
Seeing Ender troubled, Lorenzo smiled slightly, "I will go and discuss with the person in charge of the Stellar Training Camp to see if you can bring the Blood Edge Blade into the Stellar Training Camp."
"Of course, if I cannot let you bring the Blood Edge Blade into the Stellar Training Camp, then I will not give you the Blood Edge Blade, but I will give you eight million molten rock coins as compensation."
"Thank you, Governor."
Ender had no Artistic Conception of how valuable eight million molten rock coins were, as Kuka Planet did not use molten rock coins.
But as an intermediate universe country, the Molten Rock Empire's currency should be roughly equivalent in value to the Black Dragon Mountain currency in the original work.
"Please wait a moment, I will go and consult with the person in charge of the Stellar Training Camp right now."
Lorenzo was very serious about this matter, as it concerned his credibility.
Ender nodded, "Yes!"
Connecting to the Virtual Universe Network, Lorenzo arrived at the Molten Rock Island in Ganwu Continent.
"Hmm, he's online."
Seeing that the person he was looking for was online in the communication bar, he sent a message.
Soon, a message came back, "Let's talk in person."
Through teleportation, Lorenzo arrived in a lavishly decorated room.
Before him, a man was already sitting at a table pouring wine.
Lorenzo called out, "Domain Master Betkos."
Domain Master Betkos placed a glass of fine wine opposite him, "Sit down."
After Lorenzo took his seat, he said, "I understand what you said."
"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty also pays attention to that little guy."
Lorenzo thought to himself, "As expected! Emperor Molten Rock is paying attention to Ender Royce."
Domain Master Betkos said, "If it were anyone else, I would never allow him to bring weapons into the Stellar Training Camp."
"But Your Majesty has high hopes for this little guy, and he has also comprehended a Domain, so I agree to let him bring the Blood Edge Blade into the Stellar Training Camp under my command."
"Thank you, Domain Master Betkos."
Domain Master Betkos raised his hand slightly, "Don't rush to thank me, I have conditions."
"First, he must enter the Stellar Training Camp under my command."
Lorenzo nodded, "That's natural."
"Second, this Blood Edge Blade will be issued as a special reward to that little guy."
Domain Master Betkos refilled his empty wine glass, paused, and said, "Of course, this reward will still be provided by you."
Lorenzo had no objection to this; eight million molten rock coins was a small sum!
"Third, the Blood Edge Blade will be issued after the second trial mission ends."
Domain Master Betkos stated the last condition.
Lorenzo had some doubts, "Issuing it after the second trial mission ends, wouldn't that…"
But before he could finish, Domain Master Betkos raised his hand to interrupt, "If he can't even pass two trial missions, then he's not worth Your Majesty's attention."
Lorenzo explained, "No, I was wondering if two trial missions might be too few?"
Domain Master Betkos's hand, which was pouring wine, paused slightly, "Two trial missions are enough, after all, this is just a Stellar Training Camp."
"I will arrange a spaceship to pick him up from your place. Let him cherish his time with his Family; he won't know how many years it will be before he returns next time."
Lorenzo nodded in agreement, then said, "Then I'll leave first; that little guy is still waiting for me."
Domain Master Betkos nodded, "Good."
Lorenzo left the Virtual Universe and returned to the real world.
Seeing Ender waiting quietly, Lorenzo said, "The person in charge of the Stellar Training Camp has agreed; the Blood Edge Blade will be issued as a special reward."
"Thank you, Governor."
Ender bowed respectfully; with the Blood Edge Blade, a Second-Order Telekinesis Weapon, his survival in the Stellar Training Camp would greatly increase.
"No need to thank me. Go back and prepare. A spaceship will take you home soon. Spend some good time with your Family before going to the Stellar Training Camp."
Hearing this, Ender was momentarily lost in thought, "That's right! I haven't been home for almost a year."
Thinking of home, the Family in the grassland valley appeared in his mind…
