Chapter 200: Xu Jingming and Pang Ze
Translator: CKtalon
Xu Jingming was surprised. He had seen Pang Ze in reality and vaguely felt that he was an important figure. He never expected him to be that impressive.
“The richest man on Earth,” Xu Jingming exclaimed.
“Educational pathways and evolutionary pathways are equally important,” Director Zhou said. “In the past 30 years on Earth, high-tech talents have come into contact with more advanced technology! We’ve groomed many tech talents, but the highest educational talent in the world is only Lv. 36.”
Xu Jingming said, “Scientific research takes a long time to produce results. It can’t be rushed.”
“Pang Ze, on the other hand,” Director Zhou said with a smile, “is an oddball.”
Xu Jingming listened.
“In addition to science and evolution, Earth has also been secretly screening investing talents,” Director Zhou said. “100 investors have been selected globally! They use a total of 20 VR chambers, and they can log into the virtual world for hours a day to be updated and make investment decisions. Earth
will ultimately invest based on their decisions.”
“go were eliminated over a ten-year screening, and ten investors were anointed,” Director Zhou said. “Pang Ze is one of them.”
“But in the ten years, Pang Ze invested and studied cosmic knowledge while applying for the educational examination,” Director Zhou said. “Planetary lifeforms can also take the educational examination on behalf of a cosmic civilization.”
“In the first year, Pang Ze reached Lv. 39 in his educational examination.”
“In the sixth year, Pang Ze reached Lv. 50. The Cosmic Human Alliance gave him resources to elevate him to a cosmic lifeform and provided him special virtual chambers and other resources.

Director Zhou sighed with emotion. “The reason why Pang Ze’s so fast is that he is good at humanities and not science.”
“Humanities?” Xu Jingming nodded slightly. “I’ve been informed that for humanities, even if one can get full marks in theory and practice, they’ll max out at only Lv. 60.”
“Pang Ze focuses on humanities and has also started researching science,” Director Zhou said. “He’s an extremely talented person in the humanities, just like those top strategists in ancient times. They devise strategies and calculate every move to determine victory remotely; it’s the same for Pang Ze.
They can see how the wheels spin and have a clear and accurate judgment of the future despite the complexities of humans, culture, and society, having great acumen. This is also why Pang Ze is good at investing.”
“I’s funny,” Director Zhou said. “Pang Ze mobilized a portion of Earth’s civilization’s wealth to invest, and the average annual yield is about 30%. It’s impressive, but he has also had investments fail. After all, there are more amazing investment experts in the universe—the huge Cosmic Investment Group.”
“Instead, it’s because of Pang Ze’s high educational level that people from large families are willing to hire him in the virtual world and get him to devise strategies.” Director Zhou sighed with emotion. “Pang Ze relied on his educational background to obtain a high income, thereby becoming Earth’s
richest man!”
Xu Jingming couldn’t help but be impressed.
“With his reputation, there were naturally many big shots in those big families who hired him. After all, it’s rare for someone to break through to Lv. 50 using humanities,” Director Zhou said.
It was common for those in science to break through to Lv. 50 because there was no limit to the scientific path! It was indeed special to do so with humanities.
“Devise strategies?” Xu Jingming finally understood that this was a strategist-like figure, and he was also a talent that the Cosmic Human Alliance gave a VR chamber and resources.
“In terms of evolution, your talent is the highest on Earth,” Director Zhou said. “Pang Ze is also willing to be your manager for the sake of the entire civilization. You can visit him at his residence later; he’s at Block 5 in this neighborhood.”
“Okay.” Xu Jingming nodded.
Xu Jingming quickly went offline and prepared some gifts before visiting his neighbors with his wife, Li Miaomiao.
“Master.” Pang Yun ran over and opened the door for them, looking at Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao excitedly.
“We just moved in today,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “What a coincidence. We’re neighbors.”
“It’s quite a coincidence.” Pang Yun was very excited as he turned his head and shouted, “Dad, Mom, my master and master matron are here.”
“Master matron?” Li Miaomiao blinked. This was the first time someone was calling her master matron.
Upon entering the courtyard, Xu Jingming and his wife quickly saw Pang Ze and his wife in the distance.
Moments later, Li Miaomiao chatted with Madam Pang and Pang Yun, while Xu Jingming and Pang Ze strolled in the courtyard.
“Director Zhou has spoken to you, right?” Pang Ze smiled.
“Yes.” Xu Jingming nodded. “I’m also pleasantly surprised to learn that you’re willing to be my manager. I’ll leave it to you to decide on the terms and conditions of the management contract.”
“There’s no need.” As Pang Ze walked, he smiled and said, “Just a verbal agreement will do! As for the income share, I don’t need it! This is because my time is very precious, and I still have a lot of work to do. I can only help you… devise a strategy for your cultivation path in my spare time.”
“There won’t be any income sharing?” Xu Jingming was stunned.
“Being paid and signing a contract binds me as well,” Pang Ze said. “I’m also in the midst of figuring out the infinite knowledge of the vast cosmic civilizations. It’s better not to be bound! Treat it as help from a fellow Earthling.”
Xu Jingming came to a realization and was quite grateful. “Thank you, Mr. Pang.”
“Iknow you cultivate the first volume of Beam Transformation,” Pang Ze said. “I remember that your Beam Transformation reached Transcendent in the competition when you used the five planetary lifeform ultimate moves in the first volume. Now that you’ve become a cosmic lifeform, your brain is
more developed, and your mind and consciousness are stronger! The other four ultimate moves should’ve broken through to Transcendent, right?”
It was much easier for cosmic lifeforms to revisit and cultivate their planetary lifeform ultimate moves.
“Beam Transformation and Water Style are at Transcendent, not the other three,” Xu Jingming explained. “I should be able to break through after cultivating for a few days.”
It hadn’t been long since he became a cosmic lifeform.
The reason why Water Style could easily break through was that he had figured out the fluidity of water. He improved the fastest with Water Style, and it was even faster than Beam Transformation, which consumed the most energy.
“Let’s talk about your shield techniques next…” Pang Ze chatted with Xu Jingming as he strolled.
Late at night.
In Xu Jingming’s personal space in the virtual world, Pang Ze came to visit.
“There are countless worlds in the virtual world.” Pang Ze pointed at the countless miniature worlds that appeared. “In terms of evolution, ‘Life Evolution’ is most famous. Actually, Earth’s Life Evolution is a simplified version. The Life Evolution used by cosmic citizens is much more complicated. As the
oldest game world in history, although it’s the most popular, many of its designs are actually a little outdated.”
“Outdated?” Xu Jingming was puzzled.
“Yeah.” Pang Ze nodded. “There are better ways to groom evolvers! Life Evolution’s ways are still a little inefficient, but 5v5 battles have become a trend. All kinds of apex battles attract countless citizens in the universe.”
“However, don’t even think about it,” Pang Ze said. “Those who can step onto the main stage are at least in team competitions between Lv. 8 experts. They shoulder the expectations of their respective civilizations and the glory of their respective Star Alliances. They are the celebrities of the Cosmic Human
Alliance. They fight each other in pursuit of their limits, and this kind of extreme combat also increases their chances of breaking through to Lv. 9.”
“Every time a contestant breaks through to Lv. 9 in a competition, it will cause a euphoria,” Pang Ze said. “As for Lv. 9 experts? Lv. 9 experts have esteemed statuses. It’s already rare for them to fight 1v1 battles, so it’s unlikely that they’ll fight 5v5 team battles.”
Xu Jingming nodded.
“As for you, what you need to do now is take cultivation slow and steady. Every step you take needs to be grounded.” Pang Ze swiped gently and quickly tapped on a virtual world. “This Blood Rain World is a world that’s very suitable for you.”
Xu Jingming tapped gently.
Entry fee for Blood Rain World: 100,000 cosmic dollars.
“There’s no need to pay.” Pang Ze shook his head. “You’re a Transcendent genius, so you can accept missions from an intermediary! Some big shots will hire people to help when they encounter trouble in the Blood Rain World. By accepting missions, you can enter without spending any money. The
employer will also have to pay you a commissioning fee!”
Xu Jingming blinked, having broadened his horizons. He could enter free on his first entry and still ear money?
“Moreover, with this being your first time, entering with those big shots… helps you familiarize yourself with the Blood Rain World faster,” Pang Ze said.. “This Blood Rain World isn’t famous, but it has a very impressive background!”
