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

"The richest man in 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 a long period of study and accumulation. It can't be rushed."

"On the other hand, there's Pang Ze…" Director Zhou said with a smile, "He's an anomaly."

Xu Jingming listened attentively.

"In addition to science and evolution, our Blue Star Civilization is also secretly screening investment talents." 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 final investment is made by the Blue Star Civilization."

"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 in those ten years, while investing, Pang Ze also studied the knowledge of the universe and applied for academic examinations." Director Zhou said, "As a planetary lifeform, one can also participate in academic examinations under the name of a cosmic civilization."

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

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

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

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

"Pang Ze mainly focuses on humanities, and he is now starting to study science," Director Zhou said, "Talents who are extremely strong in humanities are like those brilliant strategists of ancient times, planning strategies, making calculations with their fingers, and winning battles from a thousand miles away. Pang Ze is also like this. They can see through the rules of operation in the intertwined relationships of humanity, culture, and society, and have clear and accurate judgments about the future. Their vision is very sharp. This is also the reason why Pang Ze is good at investment."

"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 he will also suffer losses. After all, there are more terrifying investment masters and huge cosmic investment group forces in the universe."

"On the contrary, because Pang Ze himself has a high academic level, many big family figures in the cosmic civilization are willing to hire him in the virtual world to ask him for advice." Director Zhou sighed, "Pang Ze relies on his academic qualifications to obtain a lot of high income! This has 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 to break through academic level 50 in science, after all, the road to science has no upper limit! It is indeed special to break through 50 in humanities.

"Advising and strategizing?" Xu Jingming finally understood that this was a strategist-like figure, and also a talent to whom the Cosmic Human Alliance sent virtual chambers to and gave him other resources.

"In terms of 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 flew over to help open the door, looking excitedly at Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao.

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

"It's a great coincidence." Pang Yun was very excited and shouted back, "Dad, Mom, my master and shimu (master's wife) are here."

"Shimu?"

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

Walking into the courtyard, Xu Jingming and his wife soon saw Pang Ze and his wife in the distance.

…

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

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

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

"No need."

Pang Ze walked along, smiling as he said, "A verbal agreement between you and me is enough! As for the income split, I don't need it either! 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, give you advice on your cultivation path, and make some plans."

"No agent commission?" Xu Jingming was stunned.

"Taking money and signing a contract is also a constraint on me," Pang Ze said, "Facing the countless knowledge of the vast cosmic civilization, I am also exploring. Less restraint is better! Just consider it help from a fellow villager."

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

"I know you are practicing the upper篇 (pian - section) of *Hua Guang* (Transformation of Light)." Pang Ze asked, "I remember that during the competition, your *Hua Guang Shi* (Transformation of Light Style) reached the 'Transcendent grade'. Now that you have become a Starry Sky lifeform, your brain is more developed, and your mind and consciousness are stronger! The other four ultimate moves should also have broken through to the Transcendent grade, right?"

It is much easier for a Starry Sky lifeform to go back and cultivate the ultimate moves of a Planetary lifeform.

"*Hua Guang Shi* (Transformation of Light Style) and *Shui Shi* (Water Style) are Transcendent grade, the other three styles have not yet reached it," Xu Jingming explained, "I should be able to break through after practicing for a while."

It was still too short of a time since he became a Starry Sky lifeform.

*Shui Shi* (Water Style) can be easily broken through because the 'flow of water' spear technique he comprehended makes the fastest progress in the *Shui Shi* (Water Style) aspect, even faster than *Hua Guang Shi* (Transformation of Light Style), which takes the most energy.

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

…

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 pointed 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 evolutionists! The model of the Life Evolution game world is still a bit inefficient. But the 5v5 battle has become a trend. Various peak battles also attract countless citizens from all over the universe to watch."

"But don't even think about it." Pang Ze said, "Those who can reach the big stage are at least teams competing with eighth-order powerhouses. They bear the expectations of their respective civilizations and the glory of their respective star alliances. They are stars in the Cosmic Human Alliance. Their mutual fighting and pursuit of the limit also increases their probability of breaking through to the 'ninth-order'."

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

Xu Jingming nodded.

"As for you now, what you need is to cultivate steadily, step by step." Pang Ze swiped lightly 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 take on tasks at the agency! Some big figures encounter trouble in the 'Blood Rain World' and will hire people to go in to help. If you accept the employment, you can go in without spending money. They also have to pay you an employment fee!"

Xu Jingming blinked his eyes and gained knowledge. For the first time, he could enter and make money without spending money?

"And the first time you go in, following those big figures… you can also familiarize yourself with the Blood Rain World faster." Pang Ze said, "This Blood Rain World is not well-known, but in fact, it has a very big background!"
