BXBX NOVEL Chapter 496 - 496 My Dad Is Wu Ming? (2)
Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing were nervous and puzzled. The representatives of the five countries of Earth’s civilization came visiting together? This has never happened before! What’s the reason?
“Xu Jingming should be at the headquarters of the Primordial Research Institute now,” Director Zhou explained.
“What’s the Primordial Research Institute?” Li Miaomiao asked.
She knew nothing about the 17 top factions.
“Well…” Director Zhou thought for a moment and said, “You know Lord Wu Ming from Battle of the Universe’s Apex, right?”
“Yes.” Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing nodded at the same time.
Xu Lixing said, “He’s an impressive figure. I heard that he’s about to become an Origin lifeform after cultivating the evolutionary method for a few decades. He’s also my idol.”
Director Zhou and the others laughed.
“Lord Wu Ming’s identity in reality is Earth’s Xu Jingming,” Director Zhou stated.
Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing were instantly flabbergasted.
“Xu Jingming became an Origin lifeform after 31 years of cultivation; he’s fastest among all cosmic humans in the current era!” another black representative said proudly. “The entire Oohook Star Alliance is delighted. They will send a team to Earth’s civilization to prepare a grand celebration with us to celebrate Xu Jingming’s accomplishment! When that happens, many envoys from many civilizations will attend the ceremony.”
“You’re saying that Jingming… has become an Origin lifeform?” Li Miaomiao couldn’t help but say, “But he’s been stuck at the limit of Lv. 7.”
“He actually became a peripheral member of the Primordial Research Institute a long time ago, but due to his extreme talent, he had to keep it a secret. That’s why he disguised himself as a peak Lv. 7. In fact, he became a Lv. 8 a long time ago,” Director Zhou said. “In the virtual world, he has always taken on the alias of Wu Ming.”
“My dad…” Xu Lixing also found everything unbelievable. “My dad is Wu Ming?”
“Yes, Wu Ming is only an alias! Every member of the Primordial Research Institute has one,” Director Zhou said. “Wu Ming’s true identity is Xu Jingming.”
“Director Zhou, is your information confirmed?” Li Miaomiao asked.
Her husband, who she slept on the same bed with, swore that he was stuck at the limit of Lv. 7 and was about to break through his bottleneck. Now, they were telling her that her husband had become an Origin lifeform?
“It comes from the official notice from Oohook Star Alliance and the document issued by the Primordial Research Institute,” Director Zhou said. “If the two of you don’t believe me, you can ask Xu Jingming yourself.”
“Alright.”
“We’ll ask him.” Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing were undergoing mental upheavals.
“Then, we’ll take our leave. We’ll visit again when Xu Jingming returns to Earth.” Director Zhou and his four companions were very polite and quickly left.
Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing quickly returned to their respective virtual chambers and logged into the virtual world to find their husband (dad).
…
Xu Jingming received an emergency call from his wife and daughter. Although he was with Secretary General Blacksky to take receipt of the spaceship, he still diverted his attention to connect to the virtual world via the Primordial Battle Armor.
As an Origin lifeform, he could maintain three clones in the virtual world while maintaining normal movement in reality.
In his personal space.
Xu Jingming watched his wife and daughter enter anxiously.
Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing looked at Xu Jingming.
“Jingming, you’ve become an Origin lifeform?” Li Miaomiao asked.
“Dad, you’re Wu Ming?” Xu Lixing asked.
Xu Jingming smiled and nodded.
“Wh—” Xu Lixing was a little stunned.
“We’ve shared a bed for so many years, but you showed nothing of it.” Li Miaomiao didn’t know what to say.
“My hands were tied. The peripheral members recruited by the Primordial Research Institute have to conceal this information. Once exposed, we will easily be attacked by cosmic aliens,” Xu Jingming explained. “I have to be careful not to leak the news to anyone else.”
“A cosmic alien attack?” Only then did Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing understand the gravity of the situation.
“The universe is vast, and it doesn’t only belong to the human race,” Xu Jingming said. “The alien races are perfectly fine with attacking geniuses. After all, geniuses are only cosmic lifeforms; it’s very easy to kill them.”
“But now that I’ve become an Origin lifeform, there’s no need to hide this information anymore.” Xu Jingming looked at his wife and daughter.
“My dad is an Origin lifeform? Wu Ming? It feels like a dream,” Xu Lixing whispered.
“You have to get used to it,” Xu Jingming said with a smile.
“Jingming, are you at the headquarters of the Primordial Research Institute now?” Li Miaomiao asked. “When are you coming back?”
“Probably three to five days,” he replied.
Xu Lixing suddenly said, “Dad, you’re Wu Ming? Then, aren’t you very rich?”
“Yeah.” Xu Jingming smiled and nodded. “Miaomiao, I’ll transfer you five trillion cosmic dollars first! The two of you should think hard about how to use this money.”
“There’s no need. That’s too much.” Li Miaomiao felt that it was too much. Five trillion cosmic dollars?
“You have to think about how to make this money more valuable and how to help Earth’s civilization more effectively,” Xu Jingming said. “This money is only a portion of my income from Battle of the Universe’s Apex over the years. There will be much more coming in in the future.”
This was only the beginning.
“Much more?” Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing’s hearts trembled.
“You’ll know soon.” Xu Jingming knew this very well. The Star Alliances were very willing to pay the price for poaching people, but what was five trillion compared to the price they would be paying? Earth’s civilization was really poor and weak now, so Xu Jingming naturally didn’t reject anyone. The more, the better.
And that Black Moon civilization. Although he had to act according to the Cosmic Human Alliance’s rules, he had to skin it alive even if he couldn’t kill it!
“It’s difficult to figure out how to spend money.” Li Miaomiao was under a lot of pressure.
“I’ll give you a suggestion. You can brainstorm with others, such as asking Mr. Pang,” Xu Jingming said. “Alright, I still have something to do at the Primordial Research Institute’s headquarters. Let’s have a good chat when I’m back.”
“Okay.” Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing nodded.
…
The mother and daughter sat in their living room, feeling like the ground was floating as they looked at each other.
“Why is your father so impressive?” she said softly. “I’m a little flustered.”
“Me too.” Xu Lixing nodded.
“How should we use these five trillion cosmic dollars?” she asked. “Dear, do you have any ideas?”
“Dad is right; we should brainstorm.” Xu Lixing’s eyes lit up. “Not only can I ask Mr. Pang and the others, but I can also go to the virtual world and put up a bounty for missions. I can get the experts of many civilizations to provide a solution.”
Li Miaomiao nodded. “Let’s think about it first. We’ll discuss and decide when your father returns.”
