Cosmic Professional Gladiator Novel - Chapter 506
506 Three Guests
Earth, in Xu Jingming’s house.
“Jingming, more than 20 Origin lifeforms will participate in the celebration of your Origin lifeform breakthrough?” Li Miaomiao asked. “I’ve checked the virtual world. The celebrations for other Origin lifeforms are usually simple.”
“I can’t reject them if they wish to come.” Xu Jingming sat on the sofa and gazed at the projection. “Actually, including me, there are a total of 891 Origin lifeforms in the Oohook Star Alliance. Most of them only wrote a congratulatory letter or sent a congratulatory gift.”
“Origin lifeforms are busy, and many of them can’t leave their garrisons easily. It’s most common to write a congratulatory letter and send a congratulatory gift. Blame it on me being too awesome that all of them are eager to visit.” Xu Jingming smiled.
!!
Li Miaomiao asked curiously, “What did the Origin lifeforms send?”
“Almost all of them are 100 billion cosmic dollars,” Xu Jingming answered. “According to the market rate between Origin lifeforms when they give celebratory gifts, the congratulatory gift for a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform is usually ten billion cosmic dollars. It’s 100 billion cosmic dollars for becoming a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform. Clearly, the congratulatory gifts everyone is giving me are one level up.”
The level of a congratulatory gift represented the importance he held in their minds. Nobody would treat him as an ordinary Lv. 9 Origin lifeform.
“Congratulatory gifts each worth 100 billion from more than 800 people?” Li Miaomiao exclaimed in surprise.
“Origin lifeforms also have dealings with each other. I may receive some money this time, but I’ll have to spend it in the future,” Xu Jingming said. “Moreover, the congratulatory gifts aren’t just from the Oohook Star Alliance. Some factions in the Hunter Cosmic Sector and even some large factions in other cosmic sectors have sent congratulatory gifts. They aren’t large amounts, but it’s a way to show their goodwill. When I participated in Battle of the Universe’s Apex as Wu Ming, these factions had also advertised for me platform-wide.”
Li Miaomiao nodded in understanding. “Jingming, you have to give me these names. We have to pay attention to these when working with corporations in the future.”
“Miaomiao, you’ve really thought it through.” Xu Jingming smiled and nodded. He immediately swiped and sent a name list with the corresponding gifts to his wife.
Huh? Xu Jingming looked up into space beyond Earth.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m going out to welcome some guests.” Xu Jingming got up.
“You’re personally welcoming these guests?” Li Miaomiao was surprised.
Earth had recently been welcoming some guests who came to attend the congratulation bash. People of importance would meet him alone subsequently.
But taking the initiative to welcome guests? This was Xu Jingming’s first time!
…
Whoosh.
Xu Jingming appeared in space and stared at the spaceship that emerged from a distorted space in front of him. The spaceship then disappeared, and three figures appeared.
“Brother Wu Ming.” The three of them smiled at Xu Jingming.
“Welcome to Earth.” Xu Jingming greeted with a smile.
“We’ve only met in the virtual world previously, but this is the first time we’re meeting in reality.” The person who spoke was a jade-haired elder. His golden eyes were like two stars that converged their light, and his smile was amiable.
“I realize how old I am when I see Junior Brother Wu Ming,” a silver-haired woman remarked with a smile.
“Any Origin lifeform in the entire cosmic human race probably feels old when facing Brother Wu Ming,” the one-eyed man in plain black said with a smile.
Xu Jingming said, “Compared to the three of you, I’m still a rookie. To be honest, I’ve been studying the most basic spacetime wormhole model recently.”
“Ask me if you have any questions. I’m still capable of teaching you the basics,” the silver-haired woman said.
“I’d be happy to learn from you if you’re open to it, Senior Sister Vritz,” Xu Jingming replied.
Ms. Vritz was the scholar with the highest educational level in the Oohook Star Alliance—a Lv. 126 scholar! She was also a member of the Primordial Research Institute and had a very noble status.
Although she didn’t have much talent in the evolutionary path, the Cosmic Human Race officials helped her become an Origin lifeform at all costs.
“Let’s go to my place on Earth first,” Xu Jingming invited.
The three of them nodded happily.
Hu!
The four people disappeared into thin air and appeared in Xu Jingming’s courtyard on Earth.
“Five, prepare some fruits,” Xu Jingming instructed Five. At the same time, he personally took out the wine he had prepared and poured it for the three of them.
Li Miaomiao also noticed the guests in the courtyard.
“Miaomiao,” Xu Jingming shouted, “let me introduce you to some friends.”
Li Miaomiao walked out in confusion.
“Miaomiao.” Xu Jingming took the initiative to introduce the jade-haired elder. “This is Brother Shenshui. He’s an Executive Senator of our Oohook Star Alliance and is a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform.”
Li Miaomiao was stunned.
Executive Senator? Lv. 10 Origin lifeform? It had to be known that there were only three Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms in the entire Oohook Star Alliance!
“Greetings, Mr. Shenshui.” Li Miaomiao bowed slightly.
The jade-haired elder smiled and nodded.
“This is my Senior Sister Vritz, and she’s also from the Primordial Research Institute. Senior Sister Vritz is a scholar with the highest educational level in the entire Oohook Star Alliance. The spacetime wormhole model I’m working hard on is as simple as addition and subtraction for her.” Xu Jingming smiled and said, “Senior Sister Vritz is also an Executive Senator of the Oohook Star Alliance.”
“Senior Sister Vritz,” Li Miaomiao greeted with a bow.
“This is Brother Besa, an Executive Senator of our Oohook Star Alliance. He’s a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform and is also the current Grand Consul of the Oohook Star Alliance.” Xu Jingming introduced the one-eyed man in plain black.
“Mr. Besa.” Li Miaomiao immediately bowed.
Grand Consul? It meant that he was the highest official in the Oohook Star Alliance’s administration, and he was also a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform.
“Your wife sure is young.” Shenshui sighed. “This reminds me of my wife. My wife only had 3,000 years of life, and she has already left me for tens of thousands of years.”
Xu Jingming sighed with emotion.
This was also a common situation for powerful Origin lifeforms. Ordinary cosmic lifeforms usually only had a lifespan of 3,000 years (non-Lv. 8), but Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms had a lifespan of 100,000 years!
“Therefore, some talented Origin lifeforms would rather remain single,” Ms. Vritz said. “Even if they find a partner, they hope to find one among Origin lifeforms.”
“How many couples can be Origin lifeforms?” Besa shook his head. “There are always flaws in life. There’s no need to force it.”
Li Miaomiao listened.
Were 3,000 years of life short? She felt that it was a very long time and would be very satisfied.
“Miaomiao, I’ll be chatting with my three friends,” Xu Jingming said.
“Okay,” she said. “Then, I’ll take my leave.”
The three of them smiled and nodded as they watched her leave.
“Brother Wu Ming, Ancient Burial actually wanted to come, but he’s stationed at a fortress and has an important mission. He’s unable to leave,” the one-eyed Besa explained. “He also asked me to personally apologize to you.”
“The defense of the fortress is of great importance,” Xu Jingming commented.
Mr. Ancient Burial was another Lv. 10 Origin lifeform of the Oohook Star Alliance.
The three people in front of him and Mr. Ancient Burial were the four people with the highest status in the Oohook Star Alliance! They were also council members of the Cosmic Human Alliance.
There were only four council members in the entire Oohook Star Alliance for the time being.
“You’re the fastest person in the history of our Oohook Star Alliance to become an Origin lifeform, so the Oohook Star Alliance naturally has a reason to give you a reward matching your talent,” Besa said. “The council members held a meeting and passed the previous reward bill.”
Xu Jingming nodded.
“According to our previous agreement, we will migrate the other civilizations in the Milky Way,” Besa explained. “When that happens, other than Earth’s stellar system, the other dominions in the Milky Way will be awarded to you personally. You will have all its ownership.”
“At the same time, we will equip all the habitable planets in the Milky Way that don’t have a virtual mainframe with one,” Besa said. “Moreover, we will leave enough smart bots to ensure that every habitable planet is perfectly handed over to you.”
“Also, if Earth’s humans want to migrate to these planets, we will arrange for spaceships to aid in that process,” Besa said. “In short, everything will be handed over perfectly.”
“Sorry to trouble you,” Xu Jingming said.
A galaxy like the Milky Way—which had been managed for a long time—was very valuable.
“This went through the official books of the Oohook Star Alliance.” The green-haired elder beside him smiled and said, “Plenty is spent on grooming talents to begin with. As the most outstanding talent in history, you naturally have to be sufficiently rewarded. Otherwise, it will be the greatest loss for our Oohook Star Alliance if a talent like you runs away.”
“About the civilizations that will be relocated from the Milky Way…” Xu Jingming uttered.
“Don’t worry. We’ll ensure their rights and interests aren’t affected,” Besa replied. “We negotiate with every civilization individually and provide them with good enough conditions for migration. They will migrate to other galaxies. They will have new habitable planets and will receive a certain amount of compensation.”
“Countless other civilizations in the Oohook Star Alliance will be watching the migration. The execution has to be fair,” Ms. Vritz said. “Otherwise, it will disappoint many civilizations, and many senators will object.”
Xu Jingming nodded.
No matter how fair it was or how much compensation was given, the other civilizations in the Milky Way had to undergo a major migration.
However… it couldn’t be helped since Earth’s civilization needed development.
The competition between cosmic human civilizations was cruel. Perhaps the three Paramount realm experts wanted such competition to exist! Only with enough competition could more human experts be honed to resist foreign enemies.
If Xu Jingming had a very comfortable environment without any impending dangers when he first integrated into the cosmic civilization, he probably wouldn’t have worked so hard.
“After your celebration, we will nominate you to be an Executive Senator, and you will be the ninth Senator of the Oohook Star Alliance,” Besa said. “All the members of the Senate will vote on this. With your achievements, I believe it will be passed easily.”
“It will pass with a two-thirds majority; I believe few will object.” Ms. Vritz smiled.
Indeed, with every senator writing him a congratulatory letter, the probability of any objections was very low.
“Being an Executive Senator fills me with fear and trepidation. After all, I don’t have any experience,” Xu Jingming said. “However, I’ll put in the effort.”
“Experience is accumulated slowly.”
Mr. Shenshui, Ms. Vritz, and Mr. Besa had very strong influence in the Oohook Star Alliance. At this moment, they were very willing to pull Xu Jingming into their circle.
They also believed that Xu Jingming would be the fifth council member of the Cosmic Human Alliance in the near future.
******
Prince Lunardo sat on his spaceship’s throne, and the spaceship was still on the way to the Primestar civilization. After all, it was a long journey across many cosmic sectors, and it would take a long time.
Xu Jingming’s celebration is in two days.
If I want to send a congratulatory gift, it has to be before the celebration. Lunardo hesitated.
It’s fine if I’m to sincerely apologize and admit my mistake, but compensation? How much should I pay? If I compensate too little, it will offend Xu Jingming even more. If I compensate too much? I don’t have that much money. Lunardo felt aggrieved.
I can put on airs in front of those weak basic cosmic civilizations, but I’m not even an Origin lifeform. My wealth is only thanks to my brother’s relationship after my status in the royal family rose. How can Xu Jingming take my wealth seriously?
Lunardo knew very well that he was a poor man compared to the current Xu Jingming! However, apologizing was his brother’s order!
Regardless, I have to show my sincerity.
Forget it. I’ll give it my all! Lunardo gritted his teeth and immediately connected to the virtual world. He then contacted Xu Jingming and requested a visit!
