Chapter 11 Lu Na Duo's Apology

In his personal space, the starry sky outside the spaceship window was dim. Xu Jingming sat there, looking at the latest notification that had popped up.

“Lu Na Duo wants to see me?” Xu Jingming's eyes were cold.

In terms of animosity, his towards Lu Na Duo far exceeded that of the Black Moon civilization! But the other party was a member of the Yuan Star civilization’s royal family, a high-level cosmic civilization, and he had no way to deal with him.

Those who have nothing to lose are fearless.

Lu Na Duo was one of those! He didn't have much power, his influence was limited, and he had the identity of a royal family member as a protective charm. This royal family originated from the lineage of the dean of the Yuan Chu Research Institute.

"My influence within the Wu Hook Star Alliance can deter the Black Moon civilization, but I really have no way to deal with Lu Na Duo," Xu Jingming thought to himself.

Not to mention that he was only a ninth-order Origin lifeform, even a tenth-order Origin lifeform couldn't influence the Yuan Star civilization’s royal family.

"His visit is probably on the orders of his elder brother, Lu Na Xing," Xu Jingming thought to himself. "His elder brother, Lu Na Xing, values me quite a bit, congratulating me in advance and apologizing for his younger brother."

Lu Na Xing was only over three thousand years old this year and was already a tenth-order Origin lifeform.

He had a high probability of becoming a cosmic legend!

Plus, with his royal family status, Lu Na Xing received support from all sides. He was also good at making friends, and even congratulated Xu Jingming, a newly advanced genius Origin lifeform, and apologized for his brother.

"Lu Na Xing's future is limitless, and he indeed has a high probability of inheriting the throne of the Yuan Star civilization," Xu Jingming thought to himself. According to what he wanted to do, he should at least teach Lu Na Duo a good lesson.

But he couldn't threaten the other party; the other party's apology might have been forced by his elder brother.

"Buzz."

Xu Jingming tapped lightly and agreed to the other party's visit.

Immediately, a figure appeared from the void and came to his personal space. It was the magnificent Prince Lu Na Duo. Even when coming to apologize, Prince Lu Na Duo's attire was still very exquisite.

"Respected Mr. Xu Jingming," Prince Lu Na Duo said with a smile, maintaining the most standard royal etiquette, placing his right hand on his chest and bowing slightly, "Congratulations on becoming a great Origin lifeform. I have come today to apologize for my past foolishness."

Xu Jingming looked at him.

Lu Na Duo's expression remained unchanged, still smiling as he looked at Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming looked at him for several seconds before saying, "Sit."

"Thank you."

Lu Na Duo sat down gracefully and smiled, "Ever since I learned of Mr. Xu Jingming's true identity, I knew how foolish I was back then! How could someone like me be qualified to have Mr. Xu serve me? I overestimated myself. I am a joke!"

Xu Jingming looked at him and continued listening.

"Oh, this is my congratulatory gift." Lu Na Duo presented a delicate card, handing it to Xu Jingming with both hands.

Xu Jingming took the card and glanced at it.

Inside the card, in addition to some common congratulatory remarks, was the gift for this time, a full 10 trillion cosmic dollars.

"A very generous gift," Xu Jingming said. "I can't accept it." As he spoke, he was about to hand it back.

"Mr. Xu Jingming, you must accept it."

Lu Na Duo said quickly, "This is a congratulatory gift, but also an apology, an apology for my previous foolishness. If you don't accept it, you are not accepting my apology, and I will feel uneasy. My brother won't spare me either."

"It's too much," Xu Jingming said.

Lu Na Duo directly swiped his hand, displaying his personal asset panel for Xu Jingming to view: "Mr. Xu Jingming, please see, this is all my property! Even including the value of various property rights, this 10 trillion is already most of my property. So much cash… a lot of it was borrowed urgently to make up the whole number."

Lu Na Duo looked at Xu Jingming very sincerely: "Please understand my sincerity, Mr. Xu Jingming. As long as Mr. Xu Jingming accepts it, I will be at ease."

Xu Jingming looked at the displayed asset panel, somewhat surprised.

This Lu Na Duo was making all his property public for him to see?

This was the asset panel displayed by the virtual world network, including all assets. It was still difficult to escape the virtual world network's monitoring of assets.

"Please accept it," Lu Na Duo said very sincerely again.

Xu Jingming nodded slightly, "Alright." He didn't refuse any further, gently touched the gift list on the card, and chose to accept.

Buzz!

10 trillion cosmic dollars were transferred from Lu Na Duo's account to Xu Jingming's account.

At this moment, Lu Na Duo's heart was trembling, but on the surface, his smile had to be even brighter. He stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your generosity. Then I won't disturb you any further."

Xu Jingming also stood up to see him off, watching Lu Na Duo disappear.

He came quickly and left quickly, completing the process of apologizing.

"He must be very heartbroken by this kind of apology," Xu Jingming casually threw the greeting card on the nearby table, sat down alone, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank silently.

"In this world, there are many people I dislike very much, but I can't do anything about them," Xu Jingming shook his head. Even those as noble as the three Supreme beings had many troubles.

Even the three Supreme beings had once helplessly watched the territory of the entire human race be breached and watched other Supreme beings die.

In this world, how can everything go as one wishes?

"Brother, I have apologized to Xu Jingming. The apology was 10 trillion, and he accepted it." Lu Na Duo sent a message to his elder brother.

A response came a moment later, just one word—"Good."

Lu Na Duo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't afraid of Xu Jingming, but he was afraid of his brother!

Without his elder brother's support, he was nothing! He had no power within the royal family. He had had enough of those days, so he didn't dare to disobey his elder brother in the slightest.

"My brother is satisfied," Lu Na Duo slumped on the throne, feeling somewhat tired. "My brother is something else, making me take out more than 70% of my assets to compensate, and even making me show my assets to Xu Jingming, just to make Xu Jingming feel better."

"But I don't feel good!"

Lu Na Duo's eyes were filled with tears. "10 trillion cosmic dollars! I only obtained a little power within the royal family in recent years, and I worked hard for so many years to save up. Now I have to give it all to this lucky guy from a lowly civilization! It's really unpleasant!"

What a stingy person he was!

When poaching talent, he painstakingly ran to other cosmic domains to find talent in some weak civilizations.

If he could avoid spending his own money, he would have others spend it!

He tried all sorts of ways to accumulate wealth, and only managed to save up so little.

And now, more than half of it was gone in one go!

"If I'm unwilling to part with this little bit, how can I have more benefits in the future?" Lu Na Duo said silently. "As long as my brother is satisfied…"

"Actually, this Xu Jingming is just fast at becoming an Origin lifeform! His future achievements are still uncertain. Perhaps… he will remain a tenth-order Origin lifeform for the rest of his life. That's possible," Lu Na Duo thought.

From the Star lifeform to the Origin lifeform stage, his talent was dazzling. After becoming an Origin lifeform, it was normal for the level of talent to decline.

Xu Jingming did indeed have a certain probability of being just a tenth-order Origin lifeform for his entire life.

"In the entire Cosmic Human Alliance, there are tens of thousands of tenth-order Origin lifeforms! If Xu Jingming is just a tenth-order… he won't be able to influence our Yuan Star civilization's throne at all," Lu Na Duo thought to himself.

"Hmph."

"Xu Jingming, oh Xu Jingming, you swallowed most of my property today."

"If you really become remarkable in the future, then so be it, I will endure it."

"But if your future achievements are just average, and my brother can inherit the throne, hmph, I will make you spit it out a hundredfold, a thousandfold," Lu Na Duo thought to himself.

He was a petty person.

He would remember even the slightest loss, let alone this time, when he had to offer up most of his family property with both hands, it was like digging out his heart.

Two days later, the Blue Star civilization held a grand celebration.

"What a grand celebration!" The staff of the Red Moon Group branch were also watching the celebration through live broadcast.

"I'm so envious." "In the past, when the Blue Star people saw us, they were respectful and humble. Now, these Blue Star people are much more confident."

"If my hometown civilization had an Origin lifeform like Wu Ming, I would also be confident."

The staff chatted idly, mostly with envy.

These staff members of the Red Moon Group branch came from various civilizations. Although they were proud of their identity as Red Moon Company employees, they still looked up to Origin lifeforms like Wu Ming.

"Quick, look, a group of Origin lifeforms attending the celebration, and those two from the Black Moon civilization."

"The Black Moon civilization offended the Blue Star civilization before. How can they participate in the celebration this time without being kicked out?"

"Probably they offered a large gift of compensation."

The Red Moon Group employees chatted happily.

In the past, they had a superior attitude on Blue Star! They felt that their dignified Red Moon Group's star region-level branch being established in a weak civilization like the Blue Star civilization was a great fortune for the Blue Star civilization. It was only natural for the Blue Star civilization to be respectful to them.

But now, they no longer had that kind of mentality.

Especially after knowing that Wu Ming lived on this planet, they didn't even dare to be too excessive when talking to the Blue Star people.

"Swish—"

At the celebration, a group photo was taken.

A group photo of Xu Jingming and a group of Origin lifeforms who came to celebrate, including Mo Lilun and Du Lingshen of the Black Moon civilization, but they were on the very edge, and their smiles were very bright.

The next day after the celebration.

Virtual World Network, Wu Hook Star Alliance, the Senate!

Inside the Senate, a large number of people were densely seated, and on the eight thrones at the highest point sat eight people, who were also the eight people with the highest status in the entire Wu Hook Star Alliance—the eight Executive Senators.

"Everyone, we will now vote on the special proposal for this meeting." The one-eyed Senator Bessa, who was also the highest executive officer of the Wu Hook Star Alliance, said, "This proposal was jointly proposed by eight Executive Senators: Senator Shenshui, Senator Frey, Senator Bessa, Senator Zanggu, Senator Jiangyu, Senator Yi, Senator Quanku, and Senator Famu. They propose that Wu Ming serve as the ninth Executive Senator of the Senate."

"Now I will read the detailed information of the nominee, Wu Ming. Wu Ming, whose real name is Xu Jingming, comes from the Blue Star civilization of the Wu Hook Star Alliance, a formal member of the Yuan Chu Research Institute…" Senator Bessa read Wu Ming's information in detail according to procedure.

"Now we begin the vote."

"Those who agree to Wu Ming serving as the ninth Executive Senator of the Wu Hook Star Alliance, please raise your hand." As Senator Bessa spoke, he raised his left hand.

Swish.

On and off the stage, many Origin lifeforms raised their left hands, densely packed like a forest.

"890 Senators voted, 890 people agreed." Senator Bessa smiled. "The vote has passed unanimously! Let us welcome Senator Wu Ming."

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~

All the Origin lifeforms in the audience stood up and looked towards the back of the entire Senate. A black-haired man walked out from there and headed towards the ninth highest seat.

Xu Jingming saluted the Senators, then took his seat, sitting on the throne at the highest point of the Senate, on par with the other eight.

On this day, Senator Wu Ming officially entered the Wu Hook Star Alliance Senate and became one of the nine Executive Senators.

He also became one of the undisputed top nine figures in the Wu Hook Star Alliance.
