527 Voluntary Application (2)
In the reception room, Xu Jingming looked at the gray-robed man in front of him and determined at a glance that he was a Civilization-level AI! He was very similar to the Yellow-Shirted Envoy who had previously helped him.
AI lifeforms were absolutely loyal and wouldn’t be biased when it came to accepting spoils of war and determining credit.
“Lord Wu Ming, you contributed greatly to this operation.” The gray-robed man smiled and said, “Killing five h.e.l.lion Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms will be 500,000 credits.”
The Primordial Battle Armor’s records couldn’t be faked.
!!
“They’re all Lv. 9.” Xu Jingming waved his hand and took out five blood-colored horns. “All the spoils are inside. Please check them.”
The gray-robed man nodded and took the five blood-colored horns before beginning to examine them one by one. “Every h.e.l.lion blood horn is priced at ten trillion cosmic dollars. This saber was refined from the h.e.l.lion evolutionary method and can be priced at three trillion cosmic dollars. These eight small s.p.a.ceships are good at concealment and infiltration, and each can be priced at 3.5 trillion cosmic dollars…”
The precious items were tabulated individually; the ordinary items would be given as a list to Xu Jingming. For example, those small s.p.a.ceships used by h.e.l.lion Origin lifeforms to infiltrate and escape were sold at very high prices. 3.5 trillion cosmic dollars was the price the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute was willing to pay.
“Deducting the resources plundered from Dinichthyidae and Silkworm Wanderer, the total price of the spoils is 122.3 trillion cosmic dollars.” The gray-robed man smiled at Xu Jingming. “Lord Wu Ming, do you have any objections?”
“Right on the mark.” Xu Jingming nodded.
The gray-robed man nodded. “Then, I won’t disturb you any further.”
Taking the spoils of war with him, the gray-robed man bowed slightly and disappeared from Planet Jishui. At the same time, 122.3 trillion cosmic dollars were credited into Xu Jingming’s account.
Taxes were paid once a year.
It’s not easy for ordinary Origin lifeforms who partic.i.p.ate in wars to obtain spoils of war. Xu Jingming knew very well that killing alien Origin lifeforms to make a killing was something very few Origin lifeforms could do.
Xu Jingming didn’t feel smug. What he had earned was actually a gift from the dean. Without Nine, how could he kill those h.e.l.lion Origin lifeforms?
He had to let Nine live up to its full potential as a killing machine!
…
Xu Jingming sat at his desk and watched his battle with the h.e.l.lion Origin lifeforms on the projection.
When facing fewer than two enemies, I can exploit the little information the h.e.l.lions have on me. I can sneak an attack on one and then pursue the other. Xu Jingming thought to himself. “But once I face three enemies or more, things get troublesome. Nine, what do you think?”
“Master.” Nine’s voice echoed in the surroundings. “You’ve killed five h.e.l.lion Origin lifeforms, and you’ll kill more in the future. One of them… will definitely be revived.”
Xu Jingming nodded. He knew this—Paramount realm experts had revival abilities.
“After they’re revived, your moves will no longer be a secret, Master,” Nine said. “Moreover, the might of the Primordial Battle Armor’s threads is fixed! There are also limitations; you have to be extremely close to have a chance of penetration. Therefore, you need to develop new moves.”
Xu Jingming nodded. “What do you think is the strongest move I can grasp in a short period of time?”
“Master, do you plan on dealing with Lv. 9s or Lv. 10s?” Nine asked. “I have to remind you… In the short term, even with the uniqueness of Primordial Battle Armor #9, you can only injure Lv. 10s at best. You can’t kill them.”
“To deal with Lv. 9, of course,” Xu Jingming said. “To deal with Lv. 9s more efficiently!”
Lv. 10 was the most perfect lifeform in the universe. Cosmic legends only grasped stronger moves; their bodies were the same as Lv. 10s.
It was too difficult to kill such a powerful lifeform.
“Master, please take a look.” A projection appeared beside him, and a directory was displayed on it.
“s.p.a.cetime Travel (Cosmic Legend), Primordial Battle Armor’s Thread Infiltration (Peak Lv. 10), Infinite Domain (Lv. 10), Laser (Peak Lv. 9), Fire Seed (Peak Lv. 9), Spatial Lock (Peak Lv. 9), River of Time (Top Lv. 9)…”
Xu Jingming looked at the many abilities on it.
“Master, you’re a newly advanced Lv. 9 Origin lifeform. If you want to have extraordinary strength, you have to temporarily use moves with me as the core. s.p.a.cetime Travel is used for traveling, while the most powerful killing method is using the Primordial Battle Armor’s threads for penetration. It has many restrictions. h.e.l.lion Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms have powerful bodies. The threads formed by the Primordial Battle Armor can only injure them.”
“I suggest Master to focus on the two paths of Infinite Domain and Laser. On the one hand, you cultivate the Primordial Star Conjecture’s Light Rays volume, allowing you to improve faster on these two paths.
“Secondly, Infinite Domain can suppress the enemy, making it difficult for them to escape.
“Although the might of Laser is inferior, it can reach the speed of light, allowing faster interception of the enemy. You only need to understand the higher-level ‘laser construction model’ before I can draw on sufficient amounts of the Force to unleash stronger lasers.”
Xu Jingming nodded. “Just these two moves?”
“I suggest you spend most of your time every day on the six main models and visualization method! This is because it’s most important for you to reach Lv. 10 faster. When you reach Lv. 10, together with me, you will be virtually invincible below cosmic legends. Life Evolution… is the fastest way to increase your strength.”
Xu Jingming nodded.
Yes. When he reached Lv. 10 and mobilized Nine, a casual strike of his would far exceed the battle armor threads.
“Master, you don’t have much spare time. Focusing on Infinite Domain and Laser is sufficient,” Nine said.
“To increase the might of Infinite Domain and Laser, this is what needs to be learned.” Nine immediately took the initiative to reveal the data.
Xu Jingming took a look.
The improvement of Infinite Domain required a lot of knowledge. The improvement of Laser was relatively simple.
“Humans have discovered 1,039 types of Laser Force structural models. I recommend that you learn the Coldfall Aurora Model. Its might is ranked third among all the models, and its difficulty is only considered average among all the laser models. With your talent, I believe you will master it within a hundred years,” Nine recommended.
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
It was said that teleportation was fast, but teleportation required relatively stable s.p.a.cetime. It was easy to be interfered with in combat.
Light-speed Laser attacks had miraculous effects at close range.
“Nine, I think that with my speed of s.p.a.cetime travel… The five neighboring Star Alliances of the Ansu Star Alliance are only 2.1 billion light-years away from me, so I should be able to arrive at most places in 20 seconds, with the maximum being 30 seconds,” Xu Jingming said. “Should I suggest to the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute to include the five neighboring Star Alliances in my defense range?”
He wanted to do more having seen what had happened to Dinichthyidae and Silkworm Wanderer.
“I think it’s an excellent idea,” Nine replied. “Master, the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute gave you a relatively easy mission because you had just become a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform and wanted to ensure that you remain fine mentally. They didn’t even deploy you to be in the area where the h.e.l.lions’ plundering is most serious.”
Xu Jingming nodded.
Nine was Primordial Battle Armor #9’s AI after all. It had experienced much more than its master. Since it believed that it was an excellent idea, there shouldn’t be a problem.
Whoosh.
Xu Jingming wrote an application letter with a thought and sent it to the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute.
In just a few seconds, he received the reply!
The Primordial Research Inst.i.tute has agreed. They will immediately inform me if there is any plundering in the six Star Alliances, including the Ansu Star Alliance. Xu Jingming smiled and began studying the Force model.
…
Time pa.s.sed.
Xu Jingming’s days guarding the six Star Alliances were actually very simple. Most of the time, he absorbed knowledge like a sponge and constantly grew. Only when news from the research inst.i.tute arrived did he drop everything and head over to intercept the aliens as quickly as possible.
Perhaps the Origin lifeforms he had killed hadn’t been revived, so his Primordial Battle Armor thread infiltration method hadn’t been exposed. Xu Jingming succeeded time and time again.
But the more he experienced, the crazier he devoted himself to his studies when he saw life destroyed on the planets.
In the blink of an eye, three years had pa.s.sed since his defensive mission began.
