Cosmic Professional Gladiator

498 Lunardo (2)

“Next is the most important matter for every official member’s visit to the headquarters—to accept the complete legacy.” Secretary General Blacksky brought Xu Jingming to a seemingly ordinary building.

“Some of the early parts of the legacy can be carried out in the virtual world, but the most important portion has to be accepted at the Primordial Research Institute headquarters,” Blacksky said. “This is also to prevent accidents.”

“Isn’t the virtual world absolutely safe?” Xu Jingming asked.

“The entire cosmic human race has ever fallen into the dark ages, where we suffered a loss of history. What do you think is absolutely safe?” Blacksky smiled and said, “Of course, if something goes wrong in the virtual world, it spells immense trouble for the entire cosmic human race. That’s something left to the dean and the others. Alright, head on in.”

Xu Jingming nodded and walked in.

A desolate rocky planet that was clearly not suitable for life.

A small spaceship was hidden inside this seemingly ordinary rocky planet that was one of the countless ones in the universe.

These days are really tough! The pirate leader, Nock, sat in a spaceship and poured himself a glass of wine. He wallowed in misery as he drank. It’s fine if I can’t log into the virtual world as a pirate, but now, I have to hide on this uninhabited planet for 20 years. I’ve endured 11 years; there are nine years left.

Nock was originally a figure who commandeered many space pirates and did whatever he wanted on a native habitable planet, but now, he lived an aggrieved life.

Nine years. Bear with it.

Nock looked up and finished his wine before logging into the simple virtual world, Oohook World. Although his enjoyment was very ordinary, it was much better than being imprisoned on an uninhabited planet.

Just as he logged into Oohook—

Buzz.

An invisible fluctuation spread across the planet and also over Nock, causing his body to crumble into its most basic structure. Silently, his body dissipated and turned into pure Cosmic Force.

He died without feeling anything.

In outer space of this rocky cosmos.

A blurry purple-robed man looked at the rocky planet from afar.

Unfortunately, having a pirate faction that is beyond the law is sometimes very useful, the purple-robed man thought to himself. However, Nock foolishly attacked Earth’s civilization and offended Xu Jingming. Then, I can only kill Nock and wipe all traces of his relation to me.

I suffered a huge loss by giving up the space pirate faction I’ve been managing for so long, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Be it the Cosmic Human Alliance’s laws or Xu Jingming, they pose a huge threat. Moreover, I have to prepare a gift for Xu Jingming’s celebration, the purple-robed man thought before disappearing.

Prince Lunardo had great ambition. Ever since his brother rose to prominence, he had begun planning for the future. In order to save money, he headed to weak civilizations to recruit talents.

Another Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform has been recruited. Prince Lunardo sat comfortably in a chair in his spaceship when he suddenly received a message.

Lunardo immediately jolted. A message from my brother.

His contacts were also divided into different priority levels. He ensured that messages sent by his brother… would force a projection to appear for his immediate attention regardless of what he was occupied with.

He knew very well that his future depended on his brother.

What message did my brother send? Lunardo read it carefully. The Primordial Research Institute has announced Wu Ming’s identity?

Wu Ming is… Lunardo couldn’t help but tremble as he looked at the name in the document. He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look.

There was no mistake about it! His name was written clearly—Earth’s Xu Jingming!

“Xu Jingming?” Prince Lunardo murmured. “How is this possible? How did this happen… The 34 cosmic sectors are virtually infinite, and I’ve only encountered a few talents. How did I happen to encounter Wu Ming?”

If it were an ordinary Origin lifeform, Lunardo wouldn’t have panicked and would even curse.

“How can he be Wu Ming? I worked hard to save money and gather talents from all kinds of weak civilizations to prepare myself for a successful career. How did I offend Wu Ming at this time?” Lunardo was a little stunned.

He was ambitious.

He wanted to have a successful career and wield great authority, but he also knew that his brother hadn’t inherited the throne! He couldn’t offend someone too powerful.

Buzz.

A man appeared on the projection.

“Brother.” Lunardo stood up with a pale face and said obsequiously, “I never expected Xu Jingming to be Wu Ming. You know me—I never offend truly powerful figures.”

The man on the projection had an ordinary appearance and restrained eyes as he stared at Lunardo. “Apologize to Xu Jingming and return to the Primestar civilization. Don’t cause me any more trouble.”

“Yes, Brother,” Lunardo replied immediately. “I really had no intention. You know me.”

“Wu Ming’s achievements aren’t inferior to mine. In the Primordial Research Institute, his future status might even be above mine.” On the projection, Lunarstar said calmly, “The Primordial Research Institute has a lot of say in the throne of the Primestar civilization’s emperor.”

“I know, I know everything. I never wanted to offend Wu Ming,” Lunardo said immediately.

“Even if I can’t inherit the throne, the Primestar civilization and the Primordial Research Institute have a mutual influence on each other. Xu Jingming will have a very long-term impact on the Primestar civilization in the future,” Lunarstar said. “He will be my best friend, so you know what to do.”
