In the moming, Xu Jingming ate breakfast with his wife and took a stroll around the district. On the way, he bumped into his neighbors, who were very excited. After all, Xu Jingming had just become world champion last night, so they shared in the pride.
“Thankfully, we live in the suburbs, and there aren’t many residents in the neighborhood. Otherwise, we would’ve attracted attention,” Li Miaomiao said with a sigh.
“My income a few years ago wasn’t as high as it is now. For detached houses, I could only afford one in the suburbs,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “From the looks of it, it was really a wise decision.”
For example, there were many residents in the estate where his parents lived.
“Oh right, aren’t you practicing the evolutionary method today?” Li Miaomiao asked.
“I don’t need to practice for the time being,” Xu Jingming said. “I’ve also become a Perfected planetary lifeform in reality. I can’t improve for the time being.”
“Impressive!” Li Miaomiao sighed. “I wonder when my evolutionary method will be Perfected.”
“Take it slow.” Xu Jingming looked at his watch. “Let’s go. The Earth Alliance will be having a gathering in a while; I have to attend.”
Li Miaomiao nodded.
The couple took their time. After all, they had a bun in the oven. They only entered the virtual world after returning home.
The invited experts arrived one after another in a huge meeting room.
There were name placards placed on the meeting room table. Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, and Tu Ling were on one side. Miyagawa Meishin, Halu Singh, Alan Emelianenko, and the other genius experts had arrived.
“Senior Brother Xu.” Tu Ling’s eyes lit up when she saw Xu Jingming, and she greeted him respectfully.
“Tu Ling.” Xu Jingming smiled at the girl. “You reached Lv. 5 at the age of 16. Impressive.”
“When we humans first landed on Mars and explored it, we later discovered civilization ruins on Mars,” Secretary General Angus said. “Accompanying the discovery, there was a stir to excavate Mars. Back then, the competition between countries was very intense, and they wanted to seize more of the
ancient civilization ruins.”
“Later on, we discovered the damaged spaceship. It had crashed more than a million years ago yet remained brand new,” Secretary General Angus said, and the projection of the broken spaceship appeared in front of him. “When we were exploring this spaceship, we discovered the VR room. During the
search, humans logged into the virtual world. It was also because of this that… the Cosmic Human Alliance discovered us and Earth’s civilization.”
Secretary General Angus said, “The universe is very vast, but there are very few inhabited planets. There are countless planets, and it’s rare for one to be suitable for human survival. Our homeworld, Earth, is too small in the universe. It has never been noticed; it has always been considered an ordinary,
uninhabited planet in the cosmic star map.”
“However, the moment we connected to the virtual world network, we were discovered.” Secretary General Angus sighed. “Thankfully, we had already stepped out of our own planet and started exploring other planets. We were recognized as a cosmic civilization. Although we are the most basic cosmic
civilization, we’re still protected by the entire Cosmic Human Alliance.”
“If we still hadn’t left our planet when Earth was discovered, we would’ve been categorized as a native civilization! We won’t be qualified to join the Cosmic Human Alliance. We will only be taken over by powerful cosmic civilizations and managed according to the rules and regulations of powerful
civilizations, Our fate would’ve been much more miserable.”
Xu Jingming and the others were stunned.
They were almost categorized as a native civilization? What would the world’s humans become if they were categorized as a native civilization?
“The Cosmic Human Alliance is the alliance of all human civilizations in the vast universe,” Secretary General Angus said. “There are also many human civilizations in the entire universe. Therefore, powerful civilizations are in charge of taking over and modifying those barbaric and backward native
planets. The Cosmic Human Alliance’s strength is limited, so it’s impossible to support every weak native civilization.”
“As an emerging cosmic civilization, Earth’s civilization is protected by the Cosmic Human Alliance for ten cosmic years! In Earth years, that’s about 32 years,” Secretary General Angus said.
“We officially joined the Cosmic Human Alliance in 2051 and started coming into contact with a lot of information and intelligence,” Secretary General Angus said.
“With enough information, we began holding the first World Martial Arts Tournament in 2052,” Secretary General Angus explained. “We began promoting martial arts in every aspect to prepare the soil of martial arts on Earth.”
“We only have 32 years of protection,” Secretary General Angus said. “Once the protection expires, we need to engage in normal trade and normal communication with other cosmic civilizations. This trade and communication are all done according to the Cosmic Human Alliance’s rules. Everything follows
the rules.”
“Although we are talking about the abiding by rules, everyone can guess the outcome of a weak civilization trading with a powerful civilization under the same rules.
“A powerful civilization will use the rules appropriately and squeeze weak civilizations dry,” Secretary General Angus said calmly. “A weak civilization will end up forever weak! They can only submissively provide resources and everything they can provide. As for a powerful civilization, they will leave the
scraps to weak civilizations…”
“To obtain true fairness; to not be squeezed dry—the only way is to be strong,” Secretary General Angus said. “Only by being strong enough will you not be bullied.”
