BXBX NOVEL Chapter 465 - 465 Storm (2)
“From the intelligence I gathered, Earth’s Xu Jingming has some relationship with Tejano from the Redmond Group, but I never expected the Yellow-Shirted Envoy to appear.” Nock was extremely respectful. “Sir, what should I do?”
“You alone will temporarily abandon all your strongholds and head to a desolate planet nobody knows about to hide,” the shirted figure instructed. “You can return if the Redmond Group doesn’t attack in 20 years.”
“Twenty years? Alone?” Nock hesitated.
“Once the Redmond Group pursues the matter, staying in the lair will only result in death,” the purple-shirted figure said. “Get moving.”
“Yes.” Nock didn’t dare to hesitate.
The projection dissipated, and the transmission ended.
On the surface, he was the boss of the Squarestar Bandits, but his faction was able to expand so much because he had an Origin lifeform backing him! He still didn’t know the true identity of his benefactor.
However, the benefactor knew everything about him. If he was obedient, he would be the leader. If he was disobedient, he would probably die quickly.
I’ll put up with it for 20 years. Nock boarded a small spaceship that very day and silently left Rainsaepe. After leaving, he gave instructions to his subordinates to handle matters.
As long as he could remotely control his subordinates through the net, he was confident in keeping everything within his control even if he didn’t appear for decades. After all, his personal strength and his bioarmor were enough to deter those with ambitions.
Sigh, I’ll spend the next 20 years here. Nock’s small spaceship entered a cave inside the lifeless rock planet and lived here alone.
He couldn’t enter the virtual world either.
The simple virtual world—Oohook World—that the pirates logged into was much inferior in terms of pleasure. Nock could only put up with all of this.

The leader of those space pirates lived alone on a desolate planet.
At this moment, Prince Lunardo had arrived at a basic cosmic civilization and was enjoying its hospitality.
“Mmm.” Prince Lunardo wore a local costume and ate local fruits as he looked at the artwork they displayed.
“Not bad, not bad.” Prince Lunardo nodded in satisfaction. “Your Lampa civilization is average, but you are talented in painting.”
“These three are all treasures of our civilization. Since Your Highness likes them, please accept them. Only in the hands of someone with noble status will these treasures be more valuable,” the receptionist said warmly.
Prince Lunardo smiled and nodded, and his subordinates immediately helped him accept it.
“Your Highness.” The handsome, silver-haired butler walked forward and glanced around. Immediately, a maidservant stepped forward and ushered the Lampans out.
“What’s the matter?” Lunardo asked.
“Something big has happened on Earth,” the handsome, silver-haired butler whispered.
“Oh?” Prince Lunardo was a little expectant. “Spill it.”
“After Earth’s civilization was isolated, a space pirate squadron finally appeared,” the handsome, silver-haired butler said.
“These pirates naturally came when they smelled something.” Prince Lunardo scoffed. He knew the nature of these space pirates very well.
“But a Yellow-Shirted Envoy from the Redmond Group appeared. He publicly announced that he was under orders to protect Xu Jingming,” the silver-haired butler said. “He easily finished off those pirates.”
Bang!
The fruit plate beside Prince Lunardo’s hand was overturned and shattered.
“Damn it.” Prince Lunardo’s expression darkened. “You sent a Yellow-Shirted Envoy for a weak and lowly civilization?”
He had to admit that he didn’t even have a single Yellow-Shirted Envoy!
That was a Civilization-level smart bot after all, possessing the basic destructive power of a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform. Prince Lunardo couldn’t buy such a terrifying weapon… Of course, he couldn’t afford it either.
“Your Highness, what should we do next?” the handsome, silver-haired butler asked softly.
What should I do? Prince Lunardo shot him a glance. “What can I do? Would I dare do anything?”
The butler was stunned.
“That’s Tejano Redmond Xire. What can I do after hearing his name?” Prince Lunardo said. “The Black Moon civilization’s withdrawal of the garrison can be explained as… the Black Moon civilization’s way of expressing goodwill to me. It was the Black Moon civilization’s own decision. Now that the Yellow-Shirted Envoy has appeared, how am I to make a move? That would be falling out with Tejano.”
“Although he can’t do anything to me—a member of the royal family—there’s no need to go that far. This is a very tiny conflict; it’s in the past,” Prince Lunardo said with a smile. “Alright, let the Lampans continue. I want to see the other gift they prepared.”
“Yes,” the silver-haired butler replied.
Prince Lunardo smiled and didn’t seem angry at all. After all, before his brother rose to prominence, he had declined to the point where he was about to be stripped of his royal status. He had experienced too many days of being bullied and having to endure it.
Sometimes, things would pass simply from sucking it up.
If my brother becomes emperor… There were flames hidden in the depths of Lunardo’s eyes.
******
The appearance of the Yellow-Shirted Envoy on Earth caused a chain reaction.
The leader of the space pirates, Prince Lunardo, and many civilizations in the Oohook Star Alliance were very surprised! These civilizations had previously treated Earth’s civilization as a new civilization and had drawn a line. After all, when many civilizations drew a line between themselves and Earth, those civilizations that didn’t draw a line would be targeted by Lunardo.
But now?
“The Redmond Group is building a planetary branch on Earth?”
“The Redmond Group is a local power of the Hunter Cosmic Sector. We don’t dare to offend him. I believe Prince Lunardo will understand.”
Silently, the various civilizations of the Oohook Star Alliance were willing to deliver goods online. They no longer ostracized Earth.
How lively. Xu Jingming looked up at the moon in his courtyard.
With the Primordial Battle Armor, he could clearly see the large-scale construction on the moon.
The star port of the Redmond Group’s planetary branch was finally decided to be built on the moon. The moon was very close to Earth, and the cost of building it on land was much lower.
In the future, a large number of spaceships could be docked on the moon.
As for clients? They could be picked up and dropped off.
The trip from the moon to Earth could be completed in the time it took to make a conversation.
Not bad. With the Redmond Group’s branch, Earth can integrate into cosmic civilization more quickly. Xu Jingming also saw that many of Earth’s upper echelons were in high spirits. Everyone saw the hope of their civilization growing stronger.
Not long ago, the upper echelons of Earth’s civilization were still panicking and uneasy about the future. Many people even criticized Xu Jingming.
Now, they were starting to flatter him again.
It can’t be helped. This is how weak civilizations are! The hostility of an important figure makes weak civilizations tremble. The kindness of an important figure excites weak civilizations. Xu Jingming sighed inwardly.
This is the sorrow of weak civilizations. Only when a civilization is strong can it be more confident. It’ll remain calm even when entertaining important figures, Xu Jingming thought before getting up to head to the virtual chamber.
…
In the virtual world.
A mountain or person you rely on may collapse. If a civilization wants to be strong, one’s strength is the most important. Scientific progress needs time. As for the evolutionary path… It will be years before Earth produces another person with talent that can catch up to me. Xu Jingming knew this very well.
After all, most basic civilizations in the universe couldn’t produce a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform in history.
With such talent and strength, he naturally had to work harder.
If I became an Origin lifeform, I wouldn’t have to suffer Lunardo’s petty wrath! Xu Jingming opened the Battle of the Universe’s Apex interface—
Name: Wu Ming
Oohook Star Alliance Ranking: 2
Hunter Cosmic Sector Ranking: 362
Overall Universe Ranking: 10071
After the Lunardo incident, Xu Jingming’s desire to fight became stronger. The effects I get from Battle of the Universe’s Apex are clearly much better than the Demon Vanquishing World. Continue! Work hard to get into the Hunter Cosmic Sector’s top ten!
