The capital's national parliament in Saudi is now as chaotic as a chicken-and-dog fight, first laying out issues for countries around the world to discuss on the global stage, then the empire's alliance having further deliberations after that, followed by internal discussions of their own.

Now, the vast chamber with hundreds of square meters is filled to capacity... The political bigwigs have been greatly troubled by the Blade Warrior's suggestions, and the intense deliberations always revolve around one question: Is a space city feasible?

Compared to the Federation, Saudi only has one potentially terraformable Earth-like planet. Without the light from a constant star, their satellites can't provide heat actively, and can only rely on the self-sustaining heat circulation of active planets. This means that Saudi must give up all of its barely habitable planets.

At this juncture, the bigwigs all thought of one person at the same time—Kexiao.

Where has he gone? Not many people are in close contact with Kexiao on a regular basis. Jiu Ling is one, and soon after, it was known from the Jiu Ling's family faction that Kexiao had gone to Maraca's Freedom Port. The originally chaotic meeting hall was greatly inspired by this news—there is hope for the world, there is hope for Saudi.

At least hearing the name Kexiao gives the bigwigs an inexplicable trust. He has created countless miracles, and it is believed that Kexiao's purpose in going to Maraca Freedom Port must be closely related to this matter.

Listening to the bursts of cheering from inside and outside the hall, Jiu Ling's gaze revealed an indistinct sense of melancholy. Why do these incompetent parties only think of others when they are desperate, and why do they repeatedly pin their hopes on Kexiao, who has retired to a rural life, but they want to enjoy the fruits of victory without working for it.

Kexiao once told her that selfishness is humanity's greatest sin. He would no longer be involved in any political disputes. This is the deeper sadness of Saudi...

She took out her Heavenly Communication device, and sent the news to Maraca Freedom Port via Star Domain Broadcast.

Kexiao had just arrived at Maraca Freedom Port when he immediately received a text message from Jiu Ling...

Looking at the content of the message, there was an indescribable amusement in Kexiao's eyes. He had just run away from home, to take a sightseeing trip to Maraca, and unexpectedly, he had saved Saudi, and even the world. How utterly ironic.

With a helpless shake of his head, Kexiao responded briefly, stating that his arrival in Maraca had no connection with this matter. Then he stepped forward, admiring the lonely city as he walked towards the road leading to the Combat Power Tester company...

After much searching, he could not find the Combat Power Tester company. The original plot of land had been dug out a large chunk. It looks like... with his thoughts turning, Kexiao looked up slightly and gazed into the distant sky... With his vision, he could barely make out a space city faintly visible, hanging in the far reaches of the clouds...

"Hmm, if I'm not wrong, that might be the Sky Garden. But how am I supposed to get up there?" Kexiao couldn't calculate the distance from the ground, and if he moved through the Blank Paper Realm void-space, the slightest miscalculation in distance could result in death in the vacuum of space.

"Hey, handsome, are you alone?" Right at this moment, a charming and slender silhouette appeared before Kexiao, addressing him with a soft and gentle tone.

"Uh, are you talking to me?" It seems he was actually being hit on. Kexiao replied with an uncertain tone, wondering if girls here were so forthcoming. His disguise didn't seem particularly attractive to girls...

"Yes, besides you and me, who else is around?" the girl said, looking to her left and then to her right.

"Uh... are you sure you're looking for me and not mistaking me for someone else?"

"Yes, I'm sure it's you I'm looking for."

"I doubt it. I'm just a bystander, a member of the crowd. You don't need to concern yourself with me." Kexiao replied with a tone that suggested he couldn't be bothered to chat.

"Well, what difference does it make? You're a bystander, and I'm not the female lead, right? As the saying goes, what's the need for acquaintances when we meet? We are just strangers meeting by chance."

"Alright... let's not discuss whether or not we are strangers just yet. What is it you want with me?"

"Of course, I have something. Who would be looking for you otherwise?"

"I don't think so. Your business, his business, what's it to me? No matter who you are, your business is none of my concern."

The woman replied with a touch of surprise, lightly covering her lips, "I haven't even told you what I need you for, and you've already dismissed me so readily. Do you really have nothing?"

"Of course I have my own business. Otherwise, why would I come here? But my business is not your business."

"No, your business might also be my business."

"I don't think so. You can't help me. If there's nothing else, please don't bother me."

"I told you I have something for you, that's why I came..." The girl emphasized she had business with Kexiao, and he had already said, if there was nothing else, not to bother him further, but it's clear the woman had business with him.

Kexiao said: "I still have my own matters, and I don't want to hear about your business."

The girl countered: "But how can you be so sure that your business isn't of interest to me?"

"Of course I can't be sure, but I have no interest in knowing why you're seeking me out. Is that explanation satisfactory now?"

"So the point is, I bet you'll change your mind once you know why I'm here."

"Are you sure you want to bet with me?"

"Absolutely. Once said, not even ten thousand horses could bring the words back."

"Alright, but what are you going to wager?" Kexiao shrugged.

"Let's just bet a condition. If you lose, you have to agree to a condition of mine."

"I can agree to your request, but the condition must be within my power and I must be willing."

"You really are straightforward. Then let's get started."

"Hold on." Kexiao quickly raised his hand to signal a pause.

"Just after saying how straightforward you are, how come you're hesitating now? What else is there?"

"The problem is obvious, isn't it? I did agree to your term, but you haven't mentioned what's in it for me."

"My term...?" The woman looked slightly confused.

"Right. If I lose, I will agree to do something for you, but what if you lose? What then?"

"That's easy. I can agree to do something for you as well. As for the condition, it can be the same as yours."

"Okay then, please start your performance—ahem, no, I mean tell me what you're here for."

"It's simple. I'm here for the same reason you are."

"How do you know what I'm here for?"

"That's of course a secret. Since it's a secret, it must be kept, but since we've made a bet, I'll tell you frankly. You're here to decide on finding someone, right?"

"Yes." Kexiao nodded slightly. "If that's your only answer, it can't be considered a proper answer, and you've lost the bet. You can leave now. Oh, and I only have one request: try to stay as far away from me as possible." Kexiao let out a deep sigh, with a huge exclamation mark popping out above his head.

"But what I said is correct. You are indeed looking for someone. You should be the one who has lost."

"What you say isn't wrong, but you didn't answer exactly whom I'm looking for. Doesn't that mean you've lost?"

"Of course it doesn't mean I've lost. You cut me off before I could finish."

Kexiao thought for a moment, noticing that this person's talent for stubborn argumentation was quite something. As he was about to turn away, his movement paused. He decided to let the girl finish her sentence. "You can continue. This time I won't interrupt you. If you can't specifically identify the person I'm looking for, then you lose."

"Alright then, I'll say it."

Several black lines inexplicably appeared on Kexiao's face, and he said with forced patience, "I'd like to hear the details."

"Your purpose here is to go to the Combat Power Tester company and find Blade Warrior, isn't it."

"I'm looking for Blade Warrior." For a moment, Kexiao's mind went blank, as he inadvertently repeated the question.

"Yep, that's right." The girl nodded seriously, as if silently asking, did I say something wrong?

"This... you actually got it right. I really lost."

"See, I told you."

"So what's your request for me—wait, that's not the point. How do you know I'm looking for Blade Warrior."

"I suggest you exercise a little more patience in the future. As for how I know, just follow me for now."
