466 Most Popular in the Hunter Cosmic Sector (1)
The universe was vast, and there were many experts.
Many peak Lv. 8 experts had focused on apex battles for thousands of years, and their techniques had reached an unimaginable level. Xu Jingming hadn’t cultivated for long, so it was indeed difficult for him to enter the Hunter Cosmic Sector’s top ten.
The outstanding experts from different Star Alliances were like sledgehammers that constantly hammered and tempered Xu Jingming, allowing him to draw experience from them. As time passed, he broke through his limits time and time again, and his combat system became more and more perfect.

“Director, we will arrive on Earth in 10 minutes.” In a spaceship, the female assistant’s gentle voice woke up a man who was nodding off while reading.
Urgh.
The man jolted awake and threw the thick book covering his chest to the side. He shook his head and said, “It’s too difficult to improve one’s educational level. With my brain as a Lv. 6 cosmic lifeform, it’s too strenuous to understand this knowledge. I often fall asleep from fatigue while reading.”
“Director, your hard work will definitely pay off,” the female assistant said with a smile.
“I read a little every day; it adds up. If my educational level doesn’t improve, it will be difficult for me to rise up the ranks.” The man got up and walked forward. With a light tap of his finger, the outside world appeared in front of him—silent space.
The female assistant said, “The spaceship is still in cool-down. It will arrive on Earth after commencing its final warp in 10 minutes.”
“I never expected to come to this remote basic civilization.” The man tapped the projection, and a large amount of information appeared on it. “Earth, a basic civilization, only has two habitable planets, and this is the ten-year-efforts of the stationed Redmond Group branch. Without the Redmond Group, it will probably only have one habitable planet.”
“Without the Redmond Group, this civilization might not even exist,” the female assistant said with a smile.
“Yes.” The man chuckled. “I read about it. Ten years ago, the number one genius of Earth’s evolutionary path, Xu Jingming, offended Prince Lunardo of the Primestar civilization. Earth fell into a predicament because of this. If it weren’t for Lord Tejano, Earth might’ve indeed ceased to exist.”
“I heard that the genius, Xu Jingming, has long cultivated to Lv. 7, but he hasn’t reached Lv. 8 yet.” The man shook his head. “Becoming a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform is much harder than reaching Lv. 7. Xu Jingming easily reached Lv. 7, so he really thought himself impressive to dare offend Prince Lunardo.”
“People from weak civilizations are short-sighted. They don’t know how difficult it is to reach Lv. 8,” the female assistant commented.
“Although he can’t reach Lv. 8, he managed to befriend Lord Tejano, who was willing to send a Yellow-Shirted Envoy to guard Earth. That’s ability.” The man sighed. “In just ten years, as the Redmond Group’s branch office, Earth profited plenty from this. It even completely developed Mars into a second habitable planet.”
“At this rate, Earth’s civilization will probably be ranked in the top five of the Milky Way in a thousand years.” The man sighed. “Which other civilization in the Milky Way doesn’t require years with generations of geniuses working hard? Earth’s civilization can catch up to the other civilizations’ development in a hundred thousand years just by cozying up to Lord Tejano.”
“They prosper because of Lord Tejano, but once Lord Tejano stops bothering about them, they will decline,” the female assistant remarked.
“Yes, it can’t last if it’s only due to external forces.” The man nodded. “Let’s confirm the information again. The handover with the Redmond Group will begin in a while.”
“Yes.” The female assistant nodded.
Soon, the spaceship traversed another wormhole and arrived at the solar system where Earth’s civilization was located.
…
Xu Jingming, Li Miaomiao, and Xu Lixing’s family of three sat in the courtyard eating fruits.
“Oh, Dad, Mom, I have something on. I’ll go online first.” Xu Lixing looked at the time and flashed to the virtual chamber upstairs.
“Miaomiao.” Xu Jingming watched his daughter enter the virtual chamber in confusion. “Something doesn’t feel right with our daughter recently. While spending time with us, she goes online immediately once the time is up. What’s more important than spending time with our parents? Miaomiao, is our daughter in a relationship?”
“So what if she’s in a relationship?” She glared at her husband. “Our daughter is 28 this year. Isn’t it normal to be in a relationship?”
“That’s true.” Xu Jingming said, “But she hasn’t said anything. Who does she know in the virtual world? Who is she with? As parents, we don’t know anything.”
There were still clues if friends were made in reality.
The virtual world? There was no way to investigate at all.
“She hasn’t been in Blood Rain World for long either.” Li Miaomiao frowned slightly. “I previously thought that it might be because Blood Rain World was too boring, so it was normal for her to visit other virtual worlds. Now that you mention it… it’s possible that she has some secrets.”
“Miaomiao, get closer to our daughter and find out what’s going on,” Xu Jingming said. He couldn’t control his daughter now that she was all grown up.
Of course, it was also because he spent most of his time focused on the evolutionary path and didn’t spend much time with his daughter.
Li Miaomiao spent much more time with their daughter.
“I’ll find an opportunity to talk to her alone.” Li Miaomiao nodded after some thought. “But you have to be mentally prepared.”
“Right. As long as it’s not some scumbag, I’ll let her be,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. He was very open-minded.
