Xu Jingming was surprised. In reality, he had met Pang Ze and vaguely felt that he was a big figure. He didn't expect him to be so remarkable.

"The richest man in the Blue Star civilization," Xu Jingming exclaimed in admiration.

"Both the academic route and the evolution route are very important," Director Zhou said. "In the last thirty years, our Blue Star civilization's high-tech talents have been exposed to more advanced technology! We have cultivated a lot of scientific and technological talents, but among the global scientific and technological talents, the highest academic level is only level 36."

Xu Jingming said, "Scientific research requires long-term study and accumulation. It can't be rushed."

"On the contrary, it's Pang Ze..." Director Zhou said with a smile, "He is an anomaly."

Xu Jingming listened attentively.

"In addition to science and evolution, our Blue Star civilization is also secretly screening and investing in talent," Director Zhou said. "We have selected one hundred investment talents globally! They share twenty virtual rooms and can log into the virtual world network for several hours every day to view information and make investment decisions. The Blue Star civilization ultimately invests."

"After ten years of screening, ninety people were eliminated, and ten investment talents were confirmed," Director Zhou said. "Pang Ze is one of them."

"But within ten years, while investing, Pang Ze also studied the knowledge of the universe and applied for academic exams." Director Zhou said, "Planetary life, under the name of a cosmic civilization, can also participate in academic exams."

"In the first year, Pang Ze's academic exam reached level 39."

"In the sixth year, Pang Ze reached level 50. The Cosmic Human Alliance granted resources to help Pang Ze advance to become a Starry Sky lifeform, and also granted him specially made virtual rooms and other resources."

Director Zhou sighed, "The reason it was so fast is because Pang Ze is good at humanities, not science."

"Humanities?" Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "I heard that in humanities, even if all the theoretical and practical subjects are full marks, it only reaches level 60."

"Pang Ze mainly focuses on humanities and is now starting to study science," Director Zhou said. "Talents who are extremely strong in humanities are like those top strategists in ancient times who could plan strategies and calculate with their fingers, winning battles from thousands of miles away. Pang Ze is the same. They can see the operating rules in the intertwined relationships of humans, culture, and society, and have clear and accurate judgments about the future. Their vision is very sharp. This is also why Pang Ze is good at investing."

"It's laughable," Director Zhou said. "Pang Ze mobilizes part of the Blue Star civilization's wealth for investment, and the average annual rate of return is about 30%, which is very impressive. But his investments will also fail and suffer losses. After all, there are more terrifying investment masters and huge cosmic investment group forces in the universe."

"On the contrary, Pang Ze himself is highly educated. In the virtual world, many big family figures from cosmic civilizations are willing to hire him to offer advice," Director Zhou said with emotion. "Pang Ze relies on his education to obtain a lot of high income! This made him the richest man in our Blue Star!"

Xu Jingming couldn't help but feel admiration.

"His reputation is out there, and naturally many big family figures invite him, after all, it is too rare for someone in the humanities to break through academic level 50," Director Zhou said.

It is more common for people to break through academic level 50 in science because the road of science has no limit! It is indeed special to break through level 50 in the humanities.

"Offer advice?" Xu Jingming finally understood that this was a strategist-like figure, and someone who the Cosmic Human Alliance sent virtual rooms and resources to.

"Regarding evolution, your talent is the highest in our Blue Star civilization," Director Zhou said. "Pang Ze is also considering the entire civilization and is willing to be your agent. Later, you can visit his residence. He is in residence number 5 in the community."

"Okay," Xu Jingming nodded.

...

Xu Jingming quickly logged off, prepared some gifts, and visited his neighbor with his wife, Li Miaomiao.

"Master."

Pang Yun rushed over, helped open the door, and looked at Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao excitedly.

"We just moved in today," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "It's a coincidence that you're our neighbor."

"It's very coincidental," Pang Yun said excitedly, turning his head and shouting, "Dad, Mom, my master and shimu are here."

"Shimu?"

Li Miaomiao blinked her eyes when she heard this. This was the first time someone had called her shimu.

Entering the mansion, the Xu Jingming couple quickly saw Pang Ze and his wife in the distance.

...

A moment later, Li Miaomiao chatted with Madam Pang and Pang Yun, while Xu Jingming and Pang Ze were walking in the yard.

"Director Zhou told you, right?" Pang Ze said with a slight smile.

"Yes," Xu Jingming nodded. "I was very surprised to learn that Mr. Pang is willing to be my agent. Mr. Pang, you can just look at the brokerage contract and draft it."

"No need."

Pang Ze walked while smiling and said, "You and I can just make a verbal agreement! As for the income split, I don't need it! Because my time is very precious, and I have a lot of work to do. I can only help you in my spare time... help you, offer advice for your cultivation path, and formulate some plans."

"No brokerage split?" Xu Jingming was stunned.

"Taking money and signing contracts is also a restraint for me," Pang Ze said. "Faced with the countless knowledge of the vast cosmic civilization, I am also exploring. It is better to have less restraint! Just consider it help from a fellow villager."

Xu Jingming understood and was very grateful: "Thank you, Mr. Pang."

"I know you are cultivating the upper chapter of *Hua Guang* (Transformation of Light)," Pang Ze asked, "The five ultimate techniques of a planetary life in the upper chapter of *Hua Guang*, I remember during the competition, your Transformation of Light style reached the 'Transcendent' level. Now that you have become a Starry Sky lifeform, with a more developed brain and a stronger mind and consciousness! The other four ultimate techniques should have also broken through to the Transcendent level, right?"

It is much easier for a Starry Sky lifeform to go back and cultivate the ultimate techniques of a planetary life.

"The Transformation of Light style and the Water style are at the Transcendent level, and the other three styles are not yet," Xu Jingming explained. "After cultivating for a while, I should be able to break through."

It has only been too short a time since he became a Starry Sky lifeform.

The Water style could be easily broken through because the 'flow of water' spear technique he comprehended made the fastest progress in the Water style, even faster than the Transformation of Light style, which took the most effort.

"Let's talk about your shield technique..." Pang Ze chatted with Xu Jingming while strolling.

...

Late at night.

Virtual World Network, Xu Jingming's personal space, Pang Ze came to visit.

"The Virtual World Network has countless worlds," Pang Ze said, pointing to the countless miniature worlds that appeared. "In terms of evolution, the most famous is the 'Life Evolution' game world. In fact, our Blue Star's 'Life Evolution' game is a simplified version. The 'Life Evolution' game world used by cosmic citizens is much more complicated. As the oldest game world, although it is the most popular, many designs are actually a bit outdated."

"Outdated?" Xu Jingming asked in confusion.

"Yes."

Pang Ze nodded, "There can be better models for cultivating evolutionaries! The 'Life Evolution' game world's model is still less efficient. But the five-versus-five battle has become a trend. Various peak battles also attract countless citizens from all over the universe to watch."

"But you shouldn't think about it," Pang Ze said, "Those who can step onto the big stage are at least teams of eighth-order powerhouses competing, bearing the expectations of their respective civilizations and the glory of their respective star alliances. They are stars in the Cosmic Human Alliance, and they fight each other, pursuing the limit. This kind of limit fighting also increases their probability of breaking through to the 'ninth order.'"

"Every time a player breaks through to the ninth order during a competition, it will cause jubilation," Pang Ze said. "As for ninth-order powerhouses? Ninth-order powerhouses have a noble status, and it is already rare to have a one-on-one battle. It is unlikely that five will team up to compete."

Xu Jingming nodded.

"As for you now, what you need is to cultivate steadily, taking every step solidly," Pang Ze gently swiped, and quickly clicked on a virtual world, "This 'Blood Rain World' is a world that is very suitable for you."

Xu Jingming clicked lightly.

Blood Rain World, entry fee: 100,000 cosmic coins.

"No need to pay," Pang Ze shook his head. "You are a Transcendent-level genius, you can go to the agency to take on tasks! Some big shots encounter trouble in the 'Blood Rain World' and will hire people to help. If you take on the hire, you can enter without spending money. They also have to pay you a hiring fee!"

Xu Jingming blinked his eyes, gaining experience. This was the first time he entered without spending money and could also earn money?

"And the first time you go in, following those big shots... you can also familiarize yourself with the Blood Rain World faster," Pang Ze said, "This Blood Rain World has an inconspicuous reputation, but in reality, it has a very big background!"
