About the Genius Ranking, Sebastian had known about it. As the name implies, it refers to the ranking of geniuses. Generally, from the perspective of a powerful master, especially at Level 6, only after passing the planet advancement test and becoming a Level 2 master do they truly become regarded as geniuses; only then can they be seen by such masters. This ranking was a well-known list comparable to high school examinations, and its authority and accuracy were significantly higher.
"For every new student, there is this list," Clifford explained. "The ranking is based mainly on the planetary talent of each genius and their potential to build a race. This is different from before; the focus is on potential. Generally, all those who have made the list, without exception, are at least above Epic Level talent."
"So, you have a chance too?" Sebastian asked with a smile.
"How could I?" Clifford shook his head and said, "Epic Level talent is considered the top level in our school, but looking at the entire Federation, it can't even make a splash."
After hearing this, Sebastian nodded slightly. The Federation was vast; even the superlative forces were unknown. Besides the Super-Tier Academies, there were also powerful empires, clans, conglomerates, and so on. This ranking was about the entire Federation's talent, and the potential here referred to the possibility of becoming a Level 6 Master. The higher the possibility, the higher the ranking.
"Although the bottom of the ranking used to be Epic Level talent, almost all of those on the list are Mythic Level, with most of them at the Great Mythical Level," Clifford continued. "Sebastian, you will be on the list. Although the Federation is large, there aren't many that pass the Great Mythical Level difficulty."
"I haven't looked at this ranking myself yet," said Clifford, sending a link to the information. Instantly, a huge projection appeared in front of him. It was a ranking.
After seeing the number one person, Clifford couldn't help but say, "It is true, the Holy Son of the Sky Empire. Even before his advancement, there were already people comparing him to the Holy Son of the Holy Empire. The only difference is that the Holy Son failed to challenge the Eternal Level difficulty and has fallen long ago. The Sky Empire's Holy Son chose the Great Mythical Level and passed it with little doubt."
Slipping below, and as expected, Sebastian was on the list. His ranking shouldn't be too high, but this time they both guessed wrong! In the thousandth place, they couldn't believe they saw Sebastian's name. The leaderboard showed:
[ 988th Place: Sebastian.
Faction: Hope's Peak Academy.
Planet Talent: Great Mythical Level.
Planet Race: Musketeer. ]
There were comments below:
[ The master has created a brand new civilization race, Musketeer. It is very powerful in attack but weak in defense. If they could make up for this in the future, their prospects would be limitless. ]
"988th Place?" Clifford was surprised and said, "They are very optimistic about you. You must know that not many of the Super-Tier Academies can rank in the top thousand. They have a keen eye."
Sebastian smiled faintly. He was daring to place in a brand new race but was ranked so far ahead, which required more than ordinary people's vision.
After reading Sebastian's ranking, the rest of the list appeared smooth at a glance. There was no suspense; the total number of places was less than 8,000.
"The number of people on this list isn't fixed every year," Clifford explained. "In some years, there are more geniuses, and more people will be on the list. In years with fewer, there may be fewer than 5,000 people. This year is a big year."
"However, this ranking is just for reference; it has no practical significance," Sebastian said.
"Yeah," Clifford nodded and said, "The Genius Ranking exists every year, and it only makes one famous. If you can get on the Star Ranking, that's awesome!"
"Star Ranking?" Sebastian's gaze flickered slightly. That was the list of all Level 2 Masters. It wasn't yet something that Sebastian, a planet master who had just been promoted to Level 2, could attain.
"By the way, Sebastian, do you want to come to the planet auction?" Clifford asked, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"There is nothing else to do, so let's go together," Sebastian replied.
"Okay, come over to the spaceship area next to the school gate. I've arranged everything else," Clifford said happily before hanging up the phone.
After a little bit of preparation, Sebastian stepped out the door for the trip to the auction to see if there were any suitable strange creatures. With the 2 billion F.D. given by the school, along with the previous rewards of more than 1 billion, Sebastian was not short on money now. Of course, he still couldn't afford the expensive treasures.
He called a car and soon arrived at the airship area next to the entrance of the school. Inside the school, flying in the air wasn't permitted; these airships were mainly used for external rides.
When he arrived, Clifford was already waiting at the entrance of the airship area. Next to him stood Otwin and Terrell.
"Sebastian, over here," Clifford beckoned.
"You're all here," Sebastian greeted with a smile.
"For you, a genius in the top one thousand of the Genius Ranking, this fellow has specially chartered an airship," Otwin chuckled.
"That's too much," Sebastian smiled faintly.
"You don't have to worry. This guy's family is rich, so he will have to pay for everything," Otwin said, looking at Clifford and laughing.
Although these airships belonged to the school, they still cost money to ride, just cheaper than those outside.
"Don't talk nonsense, get on the airship quickly," Clifford said, glancing at Otwin. He beckoned Sebastian to step inside, and the airship quickly took off. It passed through the academy gate and headed to the outside world. This was also Sebastian's first trip outside the school after so many months.
The speed of the airship was extremely fast, and after less than two hours, it landed in an incomparably wide docking area. They had arrived at their destination.
"The place where this planet is auctioned is in a branch of the Planet Association. Look, there are many people coming this year," Clifford said as he led the way.
The group looked left and right. Indeed, the crowd was bustling, and the flow of people was very dense.
The auction was located on the 8th floor of the Association building. There was an entrance fee to get in, and it was very high, reaching as much as 100,000. Although this was nothing for people like Sebastian, for ordinary citizens of this world, that would be their salary for months.
Following the crowd, they walked forward. Soon, they arrived at the 8th floor where the auction was located. The auction hall was enormous; they kept looking and couldn't see the end.
"They used a certain treasure that can expand the space and can hold as many as several hundred million people!" Clifford introduced. "Of course, so many people can't come. Let's go sit over there."
Clifford led the group to a luxury box. The auction house didn't just have ordinary seats; there were also private boxes that cost extra.
"Hmm?" At this time, Sebastian suddenly saw two familiar figures appear at the entrance to the auction house. Edward, dressed in black, and the beautiful figure beside him, probably Lucy?
Following Sebastian's line of sight, Clifford glanced at Edward and Lucy and said in surprise, "So it's Teacher Edward from Celestina University."
"You know each other?" Sebastian asked with a smile.
"We met once before at a party," Clifford nodded and said. "This is where Celestina University is located, and they have the most attendees. Mr. Edward is probably here to prepare more treasures for his sister."
Sebastian had no doubts. Lucy wasn't like them; she was still a Level 1 Master and had to wait until the second batch to be promoted. She used to be the genius of Oakleaf School, but within just a few months, the gap between them had widened significantly. With Lucy's current planet diameter ceiling, she could pass the King Level difficulty.
Sebastian looked at her briefly and then withdrew his gaze to concentrate on the auction. It didn't take long before an elderly auctioneer walked onto the stage and announced that the auction was officially starting. Most of the items auctioned in the early part were not valuable, while the more precious ones would appear later.
Sebastian and the group watched while eating and drinking beverages, occasionally chatting a few words but feeling quite comfortable.
"It's worthy of being the largest auction of the year; there are many things I haven't even heard of," Clifford said with a smile.
Sebastian also opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"The following item up for auction is a Star Pearl, which can be used on a Level 2 Planet. Starting price: 100 million. Interested parties, please bid," the aged auctioneer announced.
"Pearl of the Stars?" Sebastian and the others couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
For a Level 2 Master, it was quite attractive, but Sebastian had already used one, so another one wouldn't be of much use to him. The concern was how much this pearl could be auctioned for.
The three of them hesitated for a moment and decided to give up; they did not want to participate in the competition. Creating an additional new terrain for the vast majority of Level 2 Masters was unnecessary. Everyone's supernatural races were monotonous; having only one was the most common situation.
In the end, the Star Pearl was auctioned off for over 300 million, and the auction continued onward. As it progressed, more treasures appeared, and the atmosphere in the auction hall also became intense.
Bids rose and fell, but Sebastian was not interested. He waited patiently.
Finally, after about an hour had passed, the auctioneer continued: "The following auction is for an Original Creature. Interested parties, please bid."
As he finished speaking, a sealing crystal appeared on the stage. Inside the crystal was an unknown creature, which varied in size.
"Original Creature? That's what the big guys are interested in," the group then lost interest.
Sebastian, however, sat up straight, watching with interest. In this batch of Original Creatures on the stage, there were more than 30 kinds in total. Because of their rarity, they were regarded as collectibles by those powerful masters. Like the Godzilla that Sebastian had obtained from the Mayor last time, it was the only one of its kind. As for the origin of the Original Creatures, no one could figure it out. Many powerful entities speculated that they were generated by the universe.
"Sebastian, are you interested in this?" Seeing Sebastian carefully examining these Original Creatures, Clifford couldn't help but ask.
"Somewhat interested," Sebastian laughed.
"This…" Clifford hesitated for a moment before reminding him, "Original Creatures are said to be born naturally, usually only one exists per type, and they have little supernatural energy. If you want to keep it as a pet, that's no problem. But trying to build a settlement on a planet with them? That's not going to happen."
"Has no one ever succeeded?" Sebastian asked.
"Of course not," Clifford replied, laughing. "There have been people who have tried, but without exception, they all failed. These creatures do not absorb supernatural energy; no one knows what they rely on."
"I get it," Sebastian thought back to his experience with Godzilla.
Other planets didn't have as many species; only Terra had them, along with its unique environment. Nonetheless, it still took several generations for them to thrive. If it were any other creatures, it might be estimated that they could survive on Terra, but the continuation of future generations would be unlikely.
There were more than 30 kinds of Original Creatures on the stage. The larger ones were bigger than Godzilla, while the smaller ones stood less than half a meter tall.
After observing them several times and finding no clues, Sebastian could only use the deduction system again.
"System, help me deduce which of these creatures are the most suitable to survive and reproduce on Terra?" A moment later, the result of the extrapolation appeared: [ Results: No. 9, No. 31, No. 36. ]
"Numbers 9, 31, 36?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows.
He immediately looked towards the three creatures indicated by the odd numbers. The first one that caught Sebastian's attention was Number 36, which was a very inconspicuous yellow-colored rat.
