Chapter 135: Getting Married

Translator: CKtalon

This exchange list? Xu Jingming couldn’t help but hold his breath.

Lv. 10 legacy (choose any): 1,000 contribution points

X3 s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p (travel to Mars from Earth in less than an hour. Can reach any planet in the Solar System): 800 contribution points

Droplet Bioarmor (protective armor weighing 0.05 grams allows the user to move more than 30 times the speed of sound after wearing it. It can withstand the ground zero explosive might of 100 megatons of hydrogen bombs. It can block a B3 Laser Cannon at maximum.): 800 contribution points

…

Lv. 9 Legacy (choose any): 200 contribution points

B2 robot (strength comparable to a Lv. 6 expert wearing a Droplet Bioarmor; it’s the most loyal bodyguard): 200 contribution points

A1 Gene Repair Serum: 200 contribution points

…

Lv. 8 Legacy (choose any): 50 contribution points

…

Lv. 7 Legacy (choose any): 10 contribution points

Possessing a Lv. 10 powerhouse (choose any): 10 contribution points

Mind Tempering Weapon (choose any): 10 contribution points

…

Xu Jingming looked at the nearly 100 items available for exchange and was secretly dumbfounded.

“A s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p can be exchanged?” An expert in the meeting room exclaimed in surprise. “It can reach Mars in an hour?”

“This Droplet Bioarmor is ridiculous! My movement speed can exceed 30 times the speed of sound after wearing it? Even a hydrogen bomb doesn’t pose a threat to it? What’s a B3 Laser Cannon? Why haven’t I heard of such tech before?”

Many experts spoke.

Of the 12 officials in the virtual world, one from China said, “Even an ordinary person without cultivating the evolutionary method can reach at least 30 times the speed of sound after wearing the Droplet Bioarmor. Of course, an ordinary person’s reaction is too slow… It’s very difficult to unleash the full potential of the suit. The stronger one is, the more might they can unleash.”

The black middle-aged man also smiled and said, “The Earth Alliance has many resources. The exchange list is only a small portion. Only you guys have the right to exchange them.”

Some resources weren’t allowed for individual exchange.

The ten top experts present were a little stunned. Was this the strength of the Earth Alliance?

It should be as I guessed. The Earth Alliance has probably come into contact with other cosmic civilizations, Xu Jingming thought. The last time I possessed the cosmic legend, Xuan, it felt like I was connecting to the cosmic civilization’s network.

The technological strength the Earth Alliance has now far exceeds what it shows on the surface. Even a Lv. 6 expert wouldn’t be a threat to the Earth Alliance, much less a Lv. 4 expert, Xu Jingming thought.

After all, a B2 robot was comparable to a Lv. 6 expert wearing Droplet Bioarmor.

Just one exchange list… made the ten top experts present feel the might of the Earth Alliance! Individual evolution was much weaker in the face of the entire civilization.

However, the Earth Alliance still wants everyone to evolve. They paid a huge price for this, Xu Jingming thought. The Earth Alliance should be looking forward to an existence like Xuan, right?

Even before Xuan reached the speed of light, he could already destroy planets and even stars with a single move. Xu Jingming knew very well how powerful Xuan was.

The black middle-aged man looked at the ten top experts and smiled. “Everyone, you can carefully consider what resources to choose from when you return. If you have any questions, you can make an inquiry.”

“Our Earth Alliance looks forward to your future,” the black middle-aged man said. “After all, only by having powerful individuals can we form a truly powerful civilization.”

Only powerful individuals can form a truly powerful civilization? Xu Jingming and the others listened and fell into thought.

They had all received grooming in the past, so they had some guesses.

…

The meeting ended, and Xu Jingming returned to his personal s.p.a.ce.

“Why did the officials summon you?” Li Miaomiao asked curiously.

“Being first gained me 100 contribution points,” Xu Jingming explained simply. “They summoned us this time to give us an exchange list. We can choose what resources we can exchange for with contribution points.”

“Are those resources confidential?” Li Miaomiao asked.

“Yes, it’s confidential.” Xu Jingming nodded. “n.o.body is allowed to leak it.”

“Forget it then.” Li Miaomiao nodded.

“In short, it’s just some resources that help with evolution,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “It allows us to evolve faster and reach a higher level.”

Li Miaomiao nodded slightly. “The Earth Alliance first publicized the evolutionary method and gave everyone in the world a VR headset, allowing us to cultivate in the virtual world and begin universal evolution. Be it the Firestarter Cup in the early stages, the Cosmos Ranking, Global Crossfire, or the Martial Arts Center’s overall ranking… All of this is to steer everyone toward cultivation and to groom top experts.”

“They have put in quite a lot of effort into grooming us.” Xu Jingming nodded.

“The alliance won’t do something for no reason,” Li Miaomiao said. “When all the countries in the Earth Alliance agree to do something together, it means that… all the countries are facing the same situation! I wonder what the situation is?”

Being more involved, Xu Jingming had better guesses.

For example, when Xuan was about to die, the civilization he was in was uneasy and terrified. The Earth Alliance probably wasn’t having it easy either.

“Don’t think about that. We’ll be very busy tomorrow; we have to register our marriage and hold a wedding,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “Moreover, there’s a banquet in reality at noon tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Li Miaomiao couldn’t help but feel delighted at the thought of getting married tomorrow.

******

At 9:18 a.m. on January 1, 2082—a time the parents from both sides chose—Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao submitted their marriage application in the virtual world.

In the virtual world, Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao’s solemnizer at the Civil Affairs Bureau was also a virtual figure.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao sat obediently against the red background.

“Come on, move closer.”

“Yes, that’s it. Sir, please don’t move. Madam, please lean your head slightly against him.” The virtual character held the camera and instructed, “Alright, maintain your smile. Smile more naturally.”

Although Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao were quite excited, it was a little tough for them to maintain their smiles.

With a flash of light—

“Alright, it’s done.” The virtual character turned around and prepared the marriage certificate.

Soon—

Chop! Chop!

The virtual character imprinted a seal on both marriage certificates and handed them to Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao with a smile. “This is a virtual marriage certificate that has a legal effect. If you need a marriage certificate in reality, you can apply for it. The Civil Affairs Bureau will deliver it to you.”

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao nodded and accepted the marriage certificate excitedly.

From now on, the two of them were legally married.

“Hubby.” Li Miaomiao gazed at her husband and smiled until her eyes curved.

“Honey.” Xu Jingming was delighted.

“Do the two of you need to take some more photos?” The virtual figure saw that the two of them hadn’t left and continued, “Our Civil Affairs Bureau can take eight more photos for free.”

“It’s enough.”

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao immediately turned and left.

“I heard that it’s quite fast if you take the photo in reality,” Li Miaomiao said after leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau. “This virtual character is too professional. He took a few minutes of adjustments just to snap one photo.”

“There’s a queue in reality, so they naturally have to be fast. We can register our marriage anywhere in the virtual world’s Civil Affairs Bureau. The solemnizers… have plenty of time to attend to each couple,” Xu Jingming sighed with emotion.

“Let’s go. Let’s quickly get changed; we still have to get to the hotel,” Li Miaomiao urged.

The two quickly woke up in reality, took off their VR headsets, and started changing.

Although the wedding was scheduled in the virtual world, his parents, his aunts, uncles, and other relatives—as well as some of his good friends in Mingyue City—still felt a gathering in reality was in order. Therefore, they had to entertain them at noon.

“Let’s go.”

Xu Jingming and his wife headed to the hotel in a smart electric car.

There were already people waiting outside the hotel.

“Senior Brother.”

“Jingming.”

“Miaomiao.” All kinds of enthusiastic voices sounded.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao got out of the car and saw many relatives and friends.

“Master.” Pang Yun was the first to rush forward. He immediately handed over a large red packet. Then, he bowed and smiled. “Wis.h.i.+ng the both of you a happy marriage and a child soon.”

Xu Jingming took the red packet and smiled. “Pang Yun, you rushed over from Binhai?”

“I have to make it for my master’s wedding even if it’s held at the end of the world,” Pang Yun immediately said.

“Cat, Captain, I hope you have a child soon.” w.a.n.g Yi also handed him a large red packet.

Many relatives and friends—such as Liu Hai, Yang Qingshuo, Heng Fang, Liu Chongyuan, and others who were relatively close—made the trip over even if they lived far away. They also handed over red packets and their blessings.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao wore Chinese ceremonial clothes and entertained their relatives and friends..
