“This exchange list?” Xu Jingming couldn't help but hold his breath.

…

Possess a Tenth-Order Expert (any selectable): 10 Contribution Points

Mind Refining Weapon (any selectable): 10 Contribution Points

…

Xu Jingming looked at nearly a hundred exchange items on the list and was secretly amazed.

"Spaceships can be exchanged?" An expert in the conference room exclaimed, "Reaching Firefly Star in an hour?"

"This Droplet Biosuit is outrageous! Movement speed exceeding thirty times the speed of sound after wearing it? Hydrogen bombs pose no threat to it, and what is a B3 level laser cannon? How come I've never heard of such technological equipment before?"

Many experts were talking.

One of the twelve officials from the virtual world, a Xia country native, said, "Even ordinary people who haven't cultivated the evolution method can reach at least thirty times the speed of sound after wearing the Droplet Biosuit. Of course, ordinary people's nerve reactions are too slow… making it difficult to exert the full power of the suit. The higher the strength, the greater the power of the biosuit that can be unleashed."

A black middle-aged man also smiled and said, "The Blue Star Alliance has many resources. The exchange list is only a small part of what you are authorized to exchange."

Some resources are not allowed for individual exchange.

The ten top experts present were somewhat shocked. Is this the strength of the Blue Star Alliance?

"It should be as I guessed, the Blue Star Alliance should have already contacted a cosmic civilization," Xu Jingming thought. "The last time I possessed the cosmic legend Xuan, I felt like I was connected to a cosmic civilization network."

"The technological strength that the Blue Star Alliance possesses now is far beyond what it outwardly displays. Not to mention fourth-order experts, even sixth-order experts wearing Droplet Biosuits have no ability to resist in front of the Blue Star Alliance," Xu Jingming thought.

After all, a B2 robot is comparable to a sixth-order expert wearing a Droplet Biosuit.

Just an exchange list… made the ten top experts present feel the power of the Blue Star Alliance! The evolution of an individual is still far too weak compared to an entire civilization.

"But the Blue Star Alliance still hopes for universal evolution. For this, they have paid a huge price," Xu Jingming thought. "What the Blue Star Alliance is looking forward to is the emergence of existences like Xuan, right?"

"Xuan, even if he didn't reach the speed of light, could still destroy planets and even stars with a flick of his hand." Xu Jingming was very clear about Xuan's power.

The black middle-aged man looked at the ten top experts and smiled, "Everyone can carefully consider what resources to choose after returning. If you have any confusion, you can contact the officials to inquire."

"Our Blue Star Alliance has great expectations for everyone's future," the black middle-aged man said. "After all, a truly powerful civilization can only be formed by powerful individuals."

"Powerful individuals forming a truly powerful civilization?" Xu Jingming and the others listened, lost in thought.

They had all been cultivated before, and they had some vague guesses in their hearts.

…

After the meeting, Xu Jingming returned to his personal space.

"What did the officials call you for?" Li Miaomiao asked curiously.

"Ranking first in total points can get 100 contribution points," Xu Jingming explained simply. "This time, they called us to give us an exchange list. It lists what resources can be exchanged for contribution points, and we can choose for ourselves."

"Are there any resources that need to be kept secret?" Li Miaomiao asked.

"It needs to be kept secret."

Xu Jingming nodded. "It's not allowed to be spread."

"Then forget it." Li Miaomiao nodded.

"In short, they're resources that help with evolution," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "Allowing us to evolve faster and to a higher level."

Li Miaomiao nodded slightly. "The Blue Star Alliance first made the evolution method public, and then gave everyone on the globe 'virtual helmets', allowing us to cultivate in the virtual world, starting universal evolution. Whether it's the early stage Tinder Cup Competition, Starry Sky Rankings, Global Confrontation, or the Martial Arts Hall total points ranking… all of this, on the one hand, is to guide a nationwide cultivation craze, and on the other hand, it is to cultivate top experts."

"The cultivation efforts toward us are indeed quite great," Xu Jingming nodded.

"The alliance will not do anything without a reason," Li Miaomiao said. "When all the countries of the entire Blue Star Alliance agree to do something together, then it represents… all countries are facing the same forced situation! I just don't know, what exactly is the situation?"

Xu Jingming, having more contact, could guess more.

Like when Xuan was about to die, the civilization where Xuan was located was so uneasy and fearful. The situation of the Blue Star Alliance might not be easy either.

"Don't think about those things. We'll be very busy tomorrow, getting our marriage certificate and holding our wedding," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "And tomorrow noon, there will be a banquet in reality."

"Yeah." Li Miaomiao couldn't help but feel delighted at the thought of getting married tomorrow.

******

At 9:18 AM on January 1, 2082, the time chosen by both parents, Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao submitted their marriage application in the virtual world at this time.

In the virtual world, the Civil Affairs Bureau, the person in charge of receiving Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao was also a virtual character.

Sitting obediently under a red background were Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao.

"Come, come, get a little closer."

"That's right, just like that, the man doesn't move, the woman leans slightly toward the man." The virtual character directed, holding a camera. "Okay, keep smiling, and make your smiles look natural."

Although Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao were very excited, they were also a little tired from keeping smiling.

With a flash of light.

"Alright, the photos are taken." The virtual character turned around and went to make the marriage certificate.

Soon—

"Ka! Ka!" The virtual character stamped both marriage certificates with steel seals, then smiled and handed them to Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao. "This is the virtual marriage certificate, which has legal effect. If you need a marriage certificate in reality, you can submit an application. The civil affairs department will express it to you."

Xu Jingming and the two nodded, somewhat excitedly taking the marriage certificate.

From now on, the two of them are a legally married couple.

"Husband," Li Miaomiao looked at Xu Jingming, her eyes curved with a smile.

"Wife," Xu Jingming was also delighted.

"Do you two need to take more photos?" The virtual character saw that the two hadn't left and continued, "Our Civil Affairs Bureau can give you eight more photos for free."

"That's enough."

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao immediately turned around and left.

"I heard that taking photos in reality is quite fast," Li Miaomiao said after leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau. "In the virtual Civil Affairs Bureau, this virtual character is too dedicated, adjusting the photo for several minutes to take one picture."

"Registering in reality requires queuing, so it naturally has to be faster. In the virtual world's Civil Affairs Bureau, you can get a certificate anytime, anywhere. The reception staff… have enough time to receive you." Xu Jingming sighed.

"Let's go, let's go, we need to quickly change our clothes. We still have to go to the hotel," Li Miaomiao urged.

The two soon woke up in reality, took off their virtual helmets, and began to change their clothes.

Although they had decided to hold the wedding in the virtual world.

But their parents, and some aunts, uncles, cousins, and some close friends in Mingyue City still felt that they had to gather in reality, so they had to entertain them at noon.

"Let's go."

The couple Xu Jingming took a smart electric car to the hotel.

Someone was already waiting at the hotel entrance.

"Senior Brother."

"Jingming."

"Miaomiao." Various enthusiastic voices.

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

"Master." Pang Yun rushed to the front and immediately offered a large red envelope, bowing and smiling, "Disciple Pang Yun, wishes Master and Mistress a happy wedding and may you soon have children."

Xu Jingming took the big red envelope and smiled, "Pang Yun, did you rush over from Binhai?"

"Master's wedding, even if it's at the ends of the earth, I have to rush over," Pang Yun immediately said.

"Maomao, Captain, congratulations on having children soon." Wang Yi also offered a large red envelope. Many relatives and friends, such as some closer ones like Liu Hai, Yang Qingshuo, Heng Fang, Liu Chongyuan, etc., even if they were far away, came over.

Everyone offered red envelopes and sent their blessings.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao were both wearing Chinese gifts and were also receiving relatives and friends.
