BXBX NOVEL Chapter 507 - 507 Vote
Lunardo wants to meet me? Xu Jingming’s eyes were cold.
In terms of hostility, he was far more hostile to Lunardo than the Black Moon civilization! However, the other party was a scion of the Primestar royal family, an advanced cosmic civilization. He didn’t have a way to deal with him.
The down were not afraid of oppression.
Lunardo was considered down! He didn’t belong to any large faction, and his authority was limited. His other identity was a member of the royal family—a lineage originating from the Primordial Research Institute’s dean.
My influence in the Oohook Star Alliance can intimidate the Black Moon civilization, but I can’t do anything to Lunardo, Xu Jingming thought.
Not to mention that he was only a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform, even a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform couldn’t do a thing to the Primestar royal family.
He’s probably here on his brother’s orders, Xu Jingming thought to himself. His brother still thinks highly of me. He congratulated me in advance and apologized to me on his brother’s behalf.
Lunarstar was only 3,000 years old this year, but he was already a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform. There was a high chance of him becoming a cosmic legend!
Coupled with his identity as a member of the royal family, Lunarstar was supported by many. He was also good at making friends; he even took the initiative to congratulate Xu Jingming and apologize for his brother.
Lunarstar’s future is limitless. There’s indeed a high chance of him inheriting the throne of the Primestar civilization, Xu Jingming thought to himself. He had to at least teach Lunardo a lesson to his heart’s content, but he couldn’t threaten the other party. The other party’s apology might only be a result of pressure from his brother.
Buzz.
Xu Jingming tapped gently and agreed to the other party’s visit.
Immediately, a figure appeared from the void and arrived in his personal space—it was Prince Lunardo, who was dressed gorgeously. Even though he was here to apologize, Prince Lunardo still dressed very elegantly.
“Dear Mr. Xu.” Prince Lunardo smiled and maintained the most standard etiquette of the royal family. He placed his right hand in front of his chest and bowed slightly. “Congratulations on becoming a great Origin lifeform. I’m here today to apologize for my past stupidity.”
Xu Jingming looked at him.
Lunardo’s expression didn’t change as he continued smiling at Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming looked at him for a few seconds before saying, “Sit.”
“Thank you.” Lunardo sat down elegantly and smiled. “Ever since I found out your true identity, I realized how stupid I was back then! How can someone like me be qualified to make Mr. Xu work for me? I overestimated myself. I was a fool!”
Xu Jingming looked at him and continued listening.
“Oh, this is my congratulatory gift.” Lunardo handed over an exquisite envelope with both hands.
Xu Jingming received the envelope and read it.
Other than some use of template congratulations, the envelope contained gifts worth ten trillion cosmic dollars.
“That’s a huge gift,” Xu Jingming said. “I can’t accept it.”
He was about to hand it back as he spoke.
“Mr. Xu, you have to accept it.” Lunardo immediately said, “This is a congratulatory gift, but it’s also an apology for my stupidity. Not accepting it is akin to not accepting my apology. It’ll keep me up at night, and my brother won’t spare me.”
“It’s too much,” Xu Jingming said.
Lunardo reached out and swiped, displaying his personal asset interface to Xu Jingming. “Mr. Xu, please take a look. These are all my assets! Even if you include the value of all kinds of property rights, this ten trillion is already more than half of my assets. For this much cash… I had to make quick loans to make up the numbers.”
Lunardo gazed at him sincerely. “Mr. Xu, please understand my sincerity. I can only be at ease when you accept it.”
Xu Jingming was a little surprised when he saw the asset interface appear. Lunardo is showing me all his assets?
This was the asset interface displayed in the virtual world, containing all assets. It was very difficult to have an asset escape the virtual world’s surveillance.
“Please accept it,” Lunardo said sincerely again.
Xu Jingming nodded slightly. “Alright.”
He didn’t refuse and gently touched the gift list on the congratulatory letter, choosing to accept it.
Buzz!
10 trillion cosmic dollars went from Lunardo’s account to Xu Jingming’s.
Lunardo’s heart skipped a beat, but he had to smile even more brightly on the surface. He got up and said, “Thank you for your magnanimity, Mr. Xu. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Xu Jingming also got up to send him off and watched him disappear.
He came and left quickly, completing the apology process.
His heart must ache for such an apology. Xu Jingming casually threw the envelope to the table beside him and sat down alone. He then poured himself a glass of wine and drank silently.
There are many people in this world that I don’t like, but I can’t do anything to them. Xu Jingming shook his head. Even the noble ones like the three Paramount realm powerhouses had many worries.
Even the three of them stood powerless watching the breaching of human territory and the death of other Paramount realm powerhouses.
How could anything in the world go as one wished?
…
“Brother, I’ve apologized to Xu Jingming. I compensated him ten trillion, and he accepted it.” Lunardo sent a message to his brother.
A moment later, there was a response with just one word—”Good.”
Lunardo heaved a sigh of relief. He wasn’t afraid of Xu Jingming, but he was afraid of his brother!
Without his brother’s support, he was nothing! He didn’t have any authority in the royal family. He had had enough of those days, so he didn’t dare disobey his brother at all.
Brother is finally satisfied. Lunardo slumped on his throne, feeling a little tired. Brother, you made me fork out more than 70% of my assets to compensate him. You even made me show all my assets to Xu Jingming so that he can be satisfied.
But I’m not! Lunardo’s eyes were filled with tears. 10 trillion cosmic dollars. I only gathered some power from the royal family in recent years and saved up for years. Now, I have to give it all to this lucky person from a despicable civilization! How annoying!
How stingy was he?
He poached talents and painstakingly went to other cosmic sectors to find talents from weak civilizations.
He chose to get others to spend their money if he could instead of his!
He used all kinds of means to save up that little bit.
...
Now, more than half was gone!
How can I gain more in the future if I can’t bear to give up this little bit? As long as my brother is satisfied, it’s fine. In fact, Xu Jingming is only fast at becoming an Origin lifeform! His future achievements are still uncertain. Perhaps… it’s possible for him to remain a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform for the rest of his life, Lunardo thought.
Going from a cosmic lifeform to an Origin lifeform showcased one’s dazzling talent, but it was very normal for their talent to dwindle after becoming an Origin lifeform.
Xu Jingming did stand a chance of being a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform his entire life.
There are tens of thousands of Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms in the entire Cosmic Human Alliance! If Xu Jingming is only Lv. 10… he won’t be able to affect the throne of our Primestar civilization, Lunardo thought.
Hmph, hmph. Xu Jingming, you took more than half of my assets today. If you’re really impressive in the future, so be it—I’ll suck it up. But if your achievements in the future are ordinary, and my brother can inherit the throne, hmph! I’ll make you cough it up a thousand times over, Lunardo thought.
He was a petty person. He remembered the slightest of losses, much less the loss of more than half of his assets that he had to hand over with both hands. It was simply digging out his heart.
…
Two days later, Earth held a grand celebration.
“What a grand celebration!” The staff of the Redmond Group branch watched the celebration live.
“How enviable.”
...
“In the past, Earthlings were very respectful and humble when they saw us. Now, these Earthlings are much more confident.”
“I’ll also be confident if my homeworld’s civilization has an Origin lifeform like Lord Wu Ming.”
The staff chatted, and most of them were envious.
These staff members of the Redmond Group branch came from all kinds of civilizations. Although they were proud to be Redmond employees, they still looked up to an Origin lifeform like Lord Wu Ming.
“Look, there’s a group of Origin lifeforms participating in the celebration, as well as the two from the Black Moon civilization.”
“The Black Moon civilization offended Earth previously, but they managed to participate in the celebration and weren’t chased out?”
“They probably gave a huge sum of compensation.”
The Redmond Group employees chatted happily.
In the past, they had a high and mighty attitude on Earth! They felt that it was Earth’s great luck that the Redmond Group’s Star Zone branch was established on a weak civilization like Earth. It was only right for Earth to show them all kinds of respect.
But now, they no longer had that mentality. Especially when they knew that Lord Wu Ming lived on this planet, they didn’t even dare to go overboard when talking to Earthlings.
Whoosh.
A photo was taken at the celebration as a memento.
Xu Jingming and the Origin lifeforms who came to celebrate had a photo together. Black Moon civilization’s Merilun and Du Lingchen were among them, but they were at the side with brilliant smiles.
******
The second day of the celebration.
Virtual world network, Oohook Star Alliance, Senate!
A large number of people sat in the Senate, and eight people sat on the eight seats of honor at the highest point. They were also the eight people with the highest status in the entire Oohook Star Alliance—the eight Executive Senators.
“Everyone, we will now proceed with the special proposal for this meeting.” The one-eyed Senator Besa was also the Grand Consul of the Oohook Star Alliance. He said, “This proposal is jointly proposed by a total of eight Executive Senators—Senators Shenshui, Elder Vritz, Elder Besa, Elder Ancient Burial, Elder Craftsman Fish, Elder Iichi, Elder Whole Cavern, and Elder Faun. They propose that Wu Ming be the Senate’s ninth Executive Senator.”
“Now, let me read out the detailed information on the nominee, Wu Ming. His real name is Xu Jingming, and he’s an official member of the Primordial Research Institute from Oohook Star Alliance’s Earth civilization…” Elder Besa read Wu Ming’s information in detail according to procedure.
“Let’s begin the vote.”
“Those in favor of Wu Ming being the ninth Executive Senator of the Oohook Star Alliance, please raise your hands,” Elder Besa said as he raised his left hand.
Whoosh.
On and off the platform, many Origin lifeforms raised their left hands, forming a dense forest of hands.
“Of the 890 senator votes, 890 people are in favor of the motion.” Elder Besa smiled and stated, “The vote is unanimous! Let us welcome Senator Wu Ming.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
All the Origin lifeforms present got up and looked behind the Senate’s platform. A black-haired man walked out and walked to the ninth highest seat.
Xu Jingming bowed to the senators and sat down on the seat of honor at the highest point of the Senate, side by side with the other eight.
On this day, Senator Wu Ming officially entered the Senate of the Oohook Star Alliance and became one of the nine Executive Senators.
He had also become one of the undisputed top nine figures in the Oohook Star Alliance.
