Chapter 6: The Road to the Ninth Order Chapter 26: Hunter Universe: No. 1 in Popularity
The universe is vast and there are many masters.
Many eighth-level extreme masters have focused on the peak battle for thousands of years, and their skills have reached an incredible level. After all, Xu Jingming's training time is a bit short, and it is indeed difficult for him to break into the top ten of the Hunter Universe.
The outstanding masters from different star alliances were like sledgehammers, constantly hammering and tempering Xu Jingming, the iron ingot, allowing him to absorb all kinds of nourishment.
As time passed, Xu Jingming broke through his own limits time and time again, and his combat system became more and more perfect.
…
"Manager, we will reach Blue Star Civilization in 10 minutes."
Inside a spaceship, the gentle voice of a female assistant woke up a man who was dozing off while reading a book.
“Woo.”
The man woke up with a start, threw aside the thick book covering his chest, and shook his head, "It's too difficult to improve my academic qualifications. With my brain, a mere sixth-level star life, it's really hard to understand all this knowledge. I often fall asleep from reading too much."
"The supervisor's hard work will surely pay off in the future," the female assistant said with a smile.
"Just read a little bit every day, and it will add up to a lot. If I don't improve my academic qualifications, it will be difficult for me to get promoted." The man stood up and walked to the front. He lightly tapped his fingers and the scene of the outside world appeared in front of him. Outside was a silent starry sky.
The female assistant said: "The spacecraft is still cooling down. After 10 minutes, it will make its final wormhole shuttle and arrive at the Blue Star civilization."
"I didn't expect that I would come to this remote and elementary civilization." The man tapped the light curtain with his finger, and a large amount of information appeared on the light curtain. "Blue Star Civilization, a primary civilization with only two planets with life. This is the result of the Chimeng Group branch stationed there for ten years. Without the Chimeng Group, it is estimated that it only has one planet with life."
"Without the Chimeng Group, perhaps this civilization would no longer exist." The female assistant said with a smile.
"yes."
The man smiled. "I have also seen the intelligence. Ten years ago, Xu Jingming, the first genius in the evolutionary path of Blue Star Civilization, offended His Highness Lunado of Yuan Star Civilization. Blue Star Civilization fell into trouble because of this. If it weren't for the intervention of Lord Tiyano, Blue Star Civilization might indeed cease to exist."
"I heard that Xu Jingming, this genius, cultivated to the seventh level early, but has not yet reached the eighth level." The man shook his head, "Eighth-level star life is much more difficult than seventh-level. This Xu Jingming easily reached the seventh level and really thought he was amazing. He even dared to offend His Highness Lu Naduo."
“People from weak civilizations are short-sighted. They don’t know how difficult it is to become an eighth-level cultivator,” said the female assistant.
"Although he can't become an eighth-rank cultivator, he is able to make friends with Lord Tiyano, who is willing to send a yellow-robed envoy to garrison the Blue Star Civilization. That's called ability." The man exclaimed, "In just ten years, as a base for the Chimeng Group branch, the Blue Star Civilization has made a lot of money and has also fully developed Yinghuo Mars into a second life planet."
"If this continues, in a thousand years, Blue Star civilization will probably be ranked among the top five in the Milky Way." The man sighed, "Which of the other civilizations in the Milky Way didn't spend a long time and generations of geniuses to achieve this? With the support will be able to catch up with the development of other civilizations in 100,000 years in a thousand years."
"They prospered because of Lord Tiyanno, but once Lord Tiyanno no longer favors them, they will decline," said the female assistant.
"Yes, relying on external forces won't last long." The man nodded, "Let's confirm the information again, and then we'll hand it over to the Chimeng Group."
"Yes." The female assistant nodded.
Soon, the spacecraft passed through the wormhole again and arrived at the solar system where the Blue Star civilization is located.
…
Xu Jingming, Li Miaomiao, and Xu Lixing, a family of three, were sitting in the courtyard eating fruit.
"Ah, Mom and Dad, I have something else to do, so I'll go online first." Xu Lixing glanced at the time and quickly went to the virtual room upstairs.
“Miaomiao.”
Xu Jingming looked at his daughter entering the virtual room with some confusion, "Our daughter seems to be acting strange recently. When she is with us, she logs online immediately after the time is up. What is more important than spending time with her parents? Miaomiao, is our daughter in love?"
"So what if she's in a relationship?" Li Miaomiao glanced at her husband. "My daughter is already 28 years old this year. Isn't it normal for her to be in a relationship?"
"Too."
Xu Jingming said, "But she didn't say anything. Who does she know in the virtual world? Who is she with? We, as parents, don't know anything."
When making friends in real life, there are still clues to trace.
Virtual world network?
There is no way to check it.
"She has not been in the Blood Rain World for very long recently." Li Miaomiao frowned slightly. "I thought before that maybe the Blood Rain World was too boring, so it was normal for her to go to other virtual worlds to play. Now that you say it... there really might be some secrets."
"Miao Miao, get closer to your daughter and find out what's going on." Xu Jingming said. His daughter was grown up and he couldn't take care of her anymore.
Of course, it is also because he spends most of his time focusing on the path of evolution and spends too little time with his daughter.
Li Miaomiao spends much more time with her daughter.
"I'll find a chance to talk to her alone." Li Miaomiao nodded after thinking for a while, "But you have to be mentally prepared."
"Yeah, as long as she's not a jerk, I'll let her be." Xu Jingming said with a smile. He was very open-minded.
"Then I'll go online first and investigate." Li Miaomiao thought for a while and couldn't help but go to the virtual room, leaving Xu Jingming alone in the courtyard.
Xu Jingming sat in the courtyard, thought for a while, smiled and shook his head: "My daughter is 28 years old now, it's normal for her to fall in love and get married. Time flies! I remember the first time I practiced the Evolution Method, I was only 29 years old."
Looking up, Xu Jingming, with the help of his Yuanchu battle suit, could clearly see the scene on the glowing planet.
Fluorescent Mars has been completely transformed into a life planet, and now tens of millions of Blue Star people have migrated there to live.
Throughout the solar system, there are spaceships parked on almost every planet, and even the asteroid belt is being mined.
"My scheduled fight with Mang Fei is almost over." Xu Jingming also stood up. "The rankings are getting higher and higher, and it's getting harder and harder to fight opponents of the same level. We have to schedule the fight in advance."
"Mang Fei... ranked 9th in the Hunter Universe!" Xu Jingming also had anticipation in his eyes, and immediately walked slowly towards his own training room.
…
Virtual world network, the world of life evolution.
When Xu Jingming's live broadcast room opened, a large number of viewers immediately poured in.
"The battle will start in ten minutes, and Wu Ming has just opened the live broadcast room. Isn't he in a hurry at all?"
"Wu Ming is the peerless genius of the entire human race in the universe. Mang Fei is just a small stone on his growth path."
“Mang Fei, that’s going to be a big shot in the source of life, it’s still very remarkable.”
Countless streams of information flow by.
Xu Jingming looked at the enthusiastic live broadcast room. The number of viewers in the live broadcast room soared rapidly, from hundreds of millions of viewers, quickly breaking through 1 billion, and continued to climb... After passing 3 billion, the growth rate slowed down.
"It's crazy! Although my strength is not yet the best in the Hunter Universe, my popularity is number one." Xu Jingming sighed.
"Brother Wu Ming, you are finally online!" A message was so dazzling that it appeared on all platforms in the entire world of life evolution.
"Brother Qu, you don't need advertising on all platforms, save some money." Xu Jingming said.
"Brother Wu Ming, you know, all I have left is money!" Another dazzling message continued to appear on all platforms.
Xu Jingming said nothing more.
He had shut down the reward system a long time ago.
But there are people who help him to carry out "full-platform advertising in the live broadcast room"!
"How popular is my junior brother Wu Ming?" Chi Tong said in the stands with a smile, "He's quite popular, right? His online audience has exceeded 10 billion at one time, and these viewers are all citizens of the universe."
Qi Xiao sat aside and nodded in amazement: "He is very popular, and many people help him advertise on all platforms."
"The Life Evolution World is the most popular virtual world." Akagi nodded, "At any given moment, there are countless people in the Life Evolution World. The advertising costs for an advertisement to be seen by everyone are very high."
"An advertisement across all platforms, which appears once and then disappears, costs 100 million universe coins." Chi Tong said, "And my junior brother's live broadcast has at least dozens of advertisements across all platforms every day."
"The advertising fee is divided between Life Evolution Game and the anchor." Qi Xiao said, "So with dozens of ads promoted across all platforms, it would cost at least tens of billions of Universe Coins every day?"
"Um."
Chi Tong nodded, "Wu Ming's identity is a secret to ordinary people. But in fact, when my junior brother participated in the selection of the mysterious place, the 352 hunter universe forces all knew about it. At that time, my junior brother had been practicing the evolution method for less than two years."
"So, it's easy to guess that my Junior Brother Wu Ming has only been practicing for 30 years." Chi Tong said, "After only 30 years of practice, he is already ranked 11th in the overall ranking of the Hunter Universe."
"You know, the top ten hunters in the universe are almost certain to become source life."
Akame said, "To be ranked among the hundreds or thousands, one's mental power may still be flawed, but one's actual combat skills are extremely talented. But to be in the top ten in a universe, one's skills and mind must be perfect."
"My junior brother, everyone knows that you are very close to the source life. Ten years is enough." Chi Tong shook his head, "Practice for about forty years and you can become a source life? It's really scary."
"Practice for about forty years and become a source of life?" Qi Xiao's heart trembled when he heard it.
For normal eighth-level starry sky creatures, becoming a source of life is out of reach.
Even for the most extraordinary geniuses, it would be amazing if they could achieve a breakthrough within a thousand years.
Can they break through within a hundred years? In the universe, the human race is a great figure of extraordinary talent.
In about forty years, anyone who understands the meaning will know what a terrifying existence the genius 'Wu Ming' will become.
"Look, that one's called Qu Fang." Chi Tong pointed at a list in the entire live broadcast room. Because Xu Jingming had closed the reward, only advertisements for the live broadcast room would have a chance to be on the list.
Ranked first are the two words "Qufang".
"He started claiming to be a fanatical fan of Junior Brother Wu Ming three years ago, and helped with advertising on all platforms at least ten times a day, without missing a single time. My Junior Brother might not broadcast live occasionally due to things in real life, but whenever there is a live broadcast... Qu Fang will definitely appear and help with advertising. Sometimes my Junior Brother is very good in combat, and he will advertise more often." Chi Tong said, "Just him alone has spent nearly 2 trillion Universe Coins on advertising ."
Qi Xiao exclaimed: "Because of him alone, if your junior brother gets half, he can get nearly 1 trillion?"
"He's not the only one helping with the advertising."
"Many forces in the Hunter Universe, and even some forces in other universes, have come to help with advertising, to make themselves known to the public." Chi Tong said, "My junior brother's share of the advertising fees should have exceeded 9 trillion. Of course, he still has to pay taxes."
"It's so easy to make money." Although Qi Xiao came from an extraordinary family, he was still shocked by the number.
This amount of wealth has surpassed the wealth of some weak civilizations.
"What kind of person is my junior brother? He will be able to become a source of life in about forty years. This little money is just a gift." Chi Tong said, "But that Qu Fang is so diligent every day and can spend so much money. He must be quite famous in real life."
For the Blue Star civilization, spending 2 trillion cosmic coins may require exhausting all of its liquid funds.
But to some big names in the universe, it's just a gift.
…
Xu Jingming used the name "Wu Ming" and didn't care about those people guessing that he was an external member of the "Yuanchu Research Institute".
"I didn't expect that even though I had closed the reward system, they would still help me advertise." Xu Jingming sighed secretly. At that time, Xu Jingming also accepted the friend requests of the most diligent people.
Brother Qu Fang, according to his own words, was a poor man who was kicked out of his home and took some money to make his own way.
"As the eldest son of a king in the ancient river civilization, it is indeed pitiful that he only got less than 100% of the family property." Xu Jingming knew a lot of information about the other party.
“Buzz.”
The scene before my eyes changes.
"The opponent is online." Xu Jingming immediately understood that this time his opponent 'Mang Fei' was online, two minutes later than scheduled.
This is also normal. The top masters in the universe are almost certain to become source lives, and they all have various things to do. It is understandable that the appointment time is a few minutes late.
