They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 44: The Three-Hundred-Year Trial, The Five-Hundred-Year Simulation (Seeking recommendations and further reading)

Jing Yuan agreed to Dan Lei's request to exchange the light cone for the flying sword almost without hesitation. However, as always, Dan Lei had to pass an assessment to obtain the qualification to use the flying sword.

After all, members of the Cloud Cavalry must undergo training and assessment before they can control flying swords; that's the rule.

Dan Lei had no objection to this, because if he couldn't pass the test quickly with his own mental strength, then controlling the flying sword would be too difficult and would not be a regular weapon for Luofu.

After discussing the light cone and flying sword, Dan Lei and Jing Yuan's communication came to a successful conclusion. Jing Yuan summoned Han Ya, completed the formal registration, and then let Dan Lei leave.

Of course, under Han Ya's glare that seemed to say, "So you're the one who doesn't want me to retire?", Dan Lei practically fled in panic, fearing that if he lingered even a moment longer, Han Ya would find another reason to detain him in the Dark Prison.

After leaving the prison, Dan Lei returned to Jinren Alley and went straight to Chenji Shop, shouting to the shopkeeper, Lian Yan.
"Boss Lian, I'm looking for the chairman!"

As a resident of Jinren Alley, and given that Jinren Alley relies entirely on Danlei's shop for attracting new customers, Danlei naturally enjoys VIP treatment in Jinren Alley, and can see the chairman whenever he wants.

After all, the chairman of the Golden Man Alley was a suspected mechanical head of a Golden Man from the First Imperial War, who could do nothing but see and speak.

So, before Lian Yan could answer, a mechanical sound came from Chen Jipu.
"Mr. Dan, just come in if you want me to."

Dan Lei didn't stand on ceremony and walked straight into Chen Ji Shop, pointing at the golden mechanical head displayed in the window, which resembled a product.
"President, I need your help to look up some information."

President Jin was not surprised at all. Dan Lei, being such a homebody, wouldn't suddenly contact him unless there was a specific reason. So he replied...

"Do you want me to look up some information? Is the information you need very ancient?"

Dan Lei, while fiddling with the old jade tablet in the shop, replied...
"It's not exactly ancient, but it's quite obscure. I need to practice with past exam questions for reference."

Upon hearing that it concerned the training pass, the Golden Man President's mechanical voice visibly relaxed slightly as he replied...

"That's a rather obscure topic, and there isn't much related data stored in my jade tablet."

However, Mr. Dan, if you simply want to leave Luofu and explore other planets, applying for a business travel permit and a study permit will be much simpler.

In response to this question, Dan Lei answered directly...
"Neither of those two things meet my needs. I need a certificate that allows me to have a high degree of freedom and to go on adventures in relatively dangerous places."

Moreover, both of these certificates require reporting and applying to Luofu if you deviate from the planned route or go anywhere else, which is too troublesome.

After hearing Dan Lei's explanation, the Golden Man Guild Leader understood and directly gave Dan Lei the answer he wanted.

"The old book of Sanyu Bookstore in Changletian should have an old copy of the Jade Book titled 'Three Hundred Years of Examination, Five Hundred Years of Simulation,' which contains the information you want."

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei thanked him and immediately bought two older models of jade tablets before heading straight to the Sanyu Bookstore in Changletian.

Then, after searching diligently for an hour, Yin Shu finally pulled out an old jade book and complained to Dan Lei.

"I said, Danlei, where did you hear that my family has this thing? I'm just a shop assistant, it's too much trouble to search through the old book warehouse. Besides, what kind of weird book is this? 'Three Hundred Years of Assessment, Five Hundred Years of Simulation'. A fox-human's life is only a little over three hundred years. And why can't the data in it be downloaded? It can only be viewed on this super old model of Jade Emperor."

To this question, Danlei could only answer...
"I heard that this book is a collection of all the previously published exam questions from Luofu, as well as corresponding mock test questions."

However, the professional title assessments have been simplified now, mainly assessing practical skills, while the written test portion has been continuously reduced, so this thing has been phased out.” After hearing Dan Lei’s explanation, Yin Shu sighed with emotion, realizing how tough it must have been for the people of Xianzhou in the past, and went back to the shop to read.

As for Danlei, he naturally had to muster the energy he would for the college entrance examination and hurry back to prepare.

As far as I know, the most troublesome part of obtaining the entry and exit permit is the theoretical exam, because those who dare to apply for this permit are generally quite skilled and not the kind of people who are completely incompetent.

However, Xianzhou was very worried that these people who had trained their muscles into their brains would be deceived, so it gave a lot of test questions, requiring applicants to know the names and characteristics of most of the forces outside, and also asking questions such as how to deal with encountering XX force doing XX things.

Anyway, the difficulty is comparable to Danlei taking the civil service exam in China in his previous life.

So, after receiving the test questions, Dan Lei immediately went home and secluded himself to study them intensively. He also downloaded a large amount of information about various forces in the universe into his jade tablet.

After all, the information he had from his past lives was not enough to pass this test. He knew about the Yepera Brotherhood, but he didn't know the names of its wanted leaders.

Of course, Dan Lei, who was diligently studying the information on various forces in the universe, did not forget to customize his own flying sword.

With Jing Yuan's approval, he easily met Gongshu Liang (Gongshu Master's real name) and then directly handed over the Sun Wheel Heavy Sword to him for modification.

Dan Lei had a clear idea of ​​what was going on. Without Demon Slayer, the Sun Wheel Greatsword was just an ordinary greatsword. Unless there were vampire-like creatures in the next world that were afraid of stellar radiation, it would be basically useless.

However, it can be transformed into a concept art. If it can be modified and placed in the Holy Grail Space, then Danlei would say he's hit the jackpot, as he can now directly cosplay as a sword immortal in other worlds.

If not, I won't lose anything, since things created in the Star Iron Universe can't be taken with me when I travel through time anyway.

Jing Yuan is quite reliable; he never kept Dan Lei waiting, whether it was for the flying sword or the training pass.

Master Gongshu completed the forging of the flying sword in just one week.

According to Master Gongshu, the special minerals inside the Sun Wheel Heavy Sword that Danlei originally gave it were quite interesting.

Therefore, he added a large amount of metal that can absorb stellar radiation, and combined it with nanotechnology to complete this flying sword that can directly absorb the surrounding imaginary energy or stellar energy and directly burst out with high heat.

After obtaining the sword, Dan Lei went directly to the sword-testing area of ​​the Bureau of Works. With just a slight activation, the high-temperature blade sliced ​​through a golden target figure in one stroke.

Danlei was very satisfied with the power of the metal and praised Master Gongshu's skill. He then bought a lot of metal for repair.

Then came the time to test his entry and exit permit skills. Dan Lei passed the written test with ease. After all, he had gone all the way to university in his previous life, although it was only a second-tier university. But when it came to answering questions, he still had some experience.

However, during the practical assessment, when Dan Lei saw the person approaching from the other side, he began to curse Jing Yuan in his heart.

"Damn Jingyuan, no wonder everything went so smoothly up before, it turns out he had a trap set for me here."

"For a mere entry/exit permit assessment, why did you have to make Yanqing my opponent?"
