Chapter 99 - 95: Certification Quota

Jiang Ye had never heard of it.

Even registration can fail?

"The Star Sea Divine Path is controlled by a certain Cross-Star Consortium."

Zhao Qingli said, "Although the Federation can forcibly allocate it, most of the time it is governed by the consortium, so the review channel is quite narrow."

"Cross-Star Consortium?" Jiang Ye’s expression changed slightly; it was the first time he had heard of it.

Zhao Qingli continued, "As far as I know, unless you are a very strong prodigy, you must get a recommendation to participate in the Star Sea Divine Path."

"This is somewhat similar to the Preparatory Star Profession assessment."

"However, the recommendation for the Preparatory Star Profession assessment can be made by high school teachers."

"Whereas the recommendation for the Star Sea Divine Path may not even be qualified for university teachers," Zhao Qingli gently shook her head.

"University teachers don’t have the qualification?" Jiang Ye was a bit surprised.

Zhao Qingli nodded, "The Star Sea Divine Path is backed by the Cross-Star Consortium; to get a recommendation, you must find someone from that consortium."

At this point, she looked at Jiang Ye.

"If you have just entered the First Break and have no reputation, applying for registration like this will surely be rejected."

"After all, every time the Star Sea Divine Path is opened, it incurs countless costs."

"Therefore, without a recommendation, the Star Sea Divine Path only opens to true prodigies," Zhao Qingli patiently explained.

Jiang Ye’s expression changed upon hearing this.

"Every time it opens, it consumes a lot? Is there even a registration fee?"

"No, that’s not necessary," Zhao Qingli shook her head, "Strength certification doesn’t require a fee; that’s a Federation regulation."

"However, the recommendation quota can be transferred, which might involve enormous monetary transactions."

"It’s also kind of like paying a registration fee indirectly," Zhao Qingli said.

"Wow," Jiang Ye finally understood it thoroughly.

So the so-called recommendation quota was created by the Cross-Star Consortium to exploit the Federation’s rules?

You don’t let me set a registration fee.

Then I’ll set a recommendation restriction.

You have to pay to buy a recommendation quota in order to get strength certification.

"So, I can only enter by recommendation?" Jiang Ye frowned.

How does he know anyone from the consortium?

He doesn’t even know where to buy a recommendation quota.

The force controlling the ’Star Sea Divine Path’ is definitely unimaginably colossal.

It’s likely one of the most dominant tyrants in the Blue Star Federation.

"Is there no other way except recommendation?" Jiang Ye asked.

Zhao Qingli shook her head, "If you can get into the top ten prestigious universities, you naturally don’t need a recommendation."

"Simply this identity is enough for the Star Sea Divine Path to open its doors for you," she said seriously.

"..." Jiang Ye was helpless.

This is like saying nothing.

If he could enter the top ten prestigious universities, would he still need to go for Star Sea Divine Path certification?

Jiang Ye couldn’t help but frown, "Director Zhang didn’t tell me I needed a recommendation."

"These are insider secrets my mother told me," Zhao Qingli sniffed, "It’s normal for Director Zhang not to know."

Alright, alright.

Having a Star Professional mother is really something.

Jiang Ye sighed, it looks like he can only go to Director Zhang to discuss a strategy.

At this moment, Zhao Qingli saw his worried expression.

Tilted her head and thought for a while.

"Do you really want to participate in the Star Sea Divine Path?" she looked at Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye nodded.

"I have a way," Zhao Qingli supported her chin with her small hand, "But I’m not sure it will definitely work."

Jiang Ye’s eyes brightened.

"Really? If it works, I’ll take you out to dinner," he blurted out instinctively.

But he quickly realized, given the class president’s family background, she doesn’t need him to treat her.

Zhao Qingli, however, lightly smiled, "Just wait for my news."

She then turned around with pride, her white legs stepping away.

Jiang Ye watched her back and let out a long breath.

"Hopefully, it can succeed."

He did not immediately report the matter to Zhang Jianwu, who may not necessarily have a solution.

Let’s see if Zhao Qingli’s side works out first.

Jiang Ye sat back down and closed his eyes to cultivate.

...

On the other side.

Zhao Qingli walked to the stairs, took out her phone, hesitated for a while.

Then she dialed a number.

"Beep..."

The call connected.

"Qingli." A cold female voice came from the phone: "What’s up?"

The voice was like winter’s cold wind, freezing to the bone.

However, Zhao Qingli was not affected at all.

"Sister."

She held the phone, a trace of warmth appeared on her cold and proud face: "Long time no see, let’s meet."

There was silence for a while on the other end.

"Beep!" A projection appeared.

A girl in a snowy long dress, carrying a long sword on her back, stood gracefully.

The girl was about twenty years old, resembling Zhao Qingli, stunning like the bright moon.

Under the swan neck, there was a massive scale not inferior to Zhao Qingli’s, with slender snow-white waist, and a pair of snow-white long legs vaguely visible.

Absolutely captivating.

Her face was as icy as frost, exuding an aura that keeps people at arm’s length.

She was Zhao Qingli’s sister, Zhao Jingxue.

"Qingli." Zhao Jingxue’s voice was cold, "If you have anything, say it quickly, I need to cultivate."

Zhao Qingli knew she always spoke in this tone.

She didn’t mind.

"Sister." Zhao Qingli said slightly coquettishly, "I just miss you."

Zhao Jingxue looked at her helplessly, coldly said, "I’m about to participate in the Nine Refinements, time is tight."

"Nine Refinements?" Zhao Qingli was taken aback.

She knew this was one of the most important things in Zhao Jingxue’s university.

Immediately, she didn’t delay any further and directly said, "Sister, don’t you have a few recommendation quotas for Star Sea Divine Path? Can you transfer them to me?"

Zhao Jingxue was surprised and looked at her, "Are you preparing to participate in Star Sea Divine Path certification?"

"Not me."

Zhao Qingli confessed, "It’s a classmate of mine."

"Your classmate?" Zhao Jingxue raised her brows, asked coldly, "The Star Sea Divine Path quota was given by my teacher, Elder Chen, how can it be transferred casually?"

Zhao Qingli was a bit disappointed, "You said you could transfer it to me last time."

"You are my sister, transferring to you is barely acceptable."

"But, your classmate is an outsider," Zhao Jingxue said coldly.

Zhao Qingli’s expression showed disappointment.

Her cold and proud face looked a bit frustrated.

"Sigh, I shouldn’t have told him." Zhao Qingli pouted.

Zhao Jingxue looked at her, then suddenly asked, "Who is he to you?"

"I already said he’s my classmate."

"Classmate?" Zhao Jingxue laughed softly, "What’s his score on the monthly test, what’s his family’s condition?"

Zhao Qingli looked at her sister cautiously, "Why are you asking this like it’s an interrogation?"

Even though she said that.

She still honestly said, "He’s second in our school, scored 839, from an ordinary family."

Upon hearing.

Zhao Jingxue shook her head, her voice cold, "With such scores, even if you give him a quota, it would be a waste."

She looked at her sister, said coldly, "Qingli, do not associate with such people, it’s a mismatch for our Zhao family’s standards, not just anyone can have contact."

"Sis!"

Zhao Qingli frowned, a bit irritated, "What are you saying? He’s a Level Two Preparatory Star Positioner!"
