Chapter 223 Mission Accomplished (3)
“From the looks of it, his strength is close to first-rate.” Elder Fei nodded. “This way, the cost of hiring Bodyguard Jing will increase. Our Fei family can’t treat others unfairly.”
“Yes.” The butler immediately nodded.

Outside the official brokerage.
Chang Yi and Zhang Kui bade each other farewell and boarded their respective carriages.
“Let’s go,” Qingyu said. The carriage driver drove, and Xu Jingming and the others followed as they left the official brokerage. As they traveled, the ordinary carriage occupied a relatively small area and turned into a relatively wide alley. “Miss Ziteng, if anyone is following us, force them into a retreat,” Qingyu ordered from the carriage.
“Alright.” Miss Ziteng nodded. As it was a remote alley, there weren’t many people.
Miss Ziteng arrived on the alley wall in a flash and casually threw out a flying needle, scaring the two scouts behind her until their faces turned pale. They didn’t dare proceed any further and watched helplessly as the carriage turned and disappeared from their vision.
Moments later.
At the end of a secluded alley.
Chang Yi and Qingyu got off the carriage and looked at the driver, Xu Jingming, Miss Ziteng, and Mr. Lu.
“Everyone,” Chang Yi said with a smile. “Although I hired you for three months, everything went well. Everything has been completed. Therefore, from today onward, your mission is over! Let’s part ways here.”
е
“It’s over?” Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Miss Ziteng were surprised and delighted.

“I just revived,” Mr. Lu said.
“It was also to prevent any accidents,” Chang Yi said with a smile.
“Then, we’ll take our leave.” Xu Jingming and Miss Ziteng disappeared into thin air and went offline.
“Young Master Chang is a man of his word. You’re welcome to contact me anytime if you have any missions in the future.” Mr. Lu also went offline.
“The three of us should split up.” Chang Yi glanced at Qingyu and the driver.
“Congratulations, and congratulations to Sister-in-law.” The driver smiled.
“You’ve really given quite a lot for Sister-in-law,” Qingyu said with a sigh. Chang Yi smiled. “We’ll meet again when you bring your sister-in-law.”
Then, the three of them went offline and disappeared, leaving the carriage alone at the end of the alley.

In reality, at Xu Jingming’s house on Earth.
Li Miaomiao’s stomach became more and more obvious.
“Jingming, you seem quite relaxed today.” Li Miaomiao looked at her husband sitting in the living room and watching the news.
“Haha, my mission in Blood Rain World has ended,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “The next mission I accept will only begin in about a month. I’m on leave now.”
“How did this mission feel?” Li Miaomiao asked.
“Not bad. It wasn’t difficult,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “I’m considered a Transcendent genius. I can only receive missions if I have enough strength. In Blood Rain World, the higher the combat bonus, the higher my strength. If I can reach the level of a first-rate expert, my income will be much higher.”
Xu Jingming looked at his wife. “The more I come into contact with the virtual world, I realize how poor I am.”
The further one went on the path of evolution, the more terrifying their lifeform statuses became. Toward the end, one’s personal strength could reach Star Destruction! Such a powerful body needed terrifying resources other than the realm and other aspects to be nurtured. Otherwise, one wouldn’t be able to reach Star Destruction just by absorbing light. “Moreover, I previously checked. Most cosmic citizens are groomed by external forces,” Xu Jingming said. “As for allowing planetary lifeforms to transform into cosmic lifeforms, the price of relying on external forces to groom them isn’t small either; it requires 100 million cosmic dollars.”
“100 million?” Li Miaomiao was surprised. “You said that a planet like Earth is only worth 100 billion cosmic dollars.”
“Yes, it’s about one-thousandth the value of an inhabited planet.” Xu Jingming nodded.
On a bustling tourist planet in a distant galaxy.
A man with white scales on his face was looking at a sleeping woman.
The sleeping woman had pale scales on her face, and there were many wrinkles on her face, making her appear old.
I’ve been in Blood Rain World for so many years, and I finally got the chance to meet the illegitimate son of the Chang family. I spent all my wealth and even took on debt just for this gamble. I’ve never liked gambling in my life, but I won this gamble. The man looked at the sleeping woman affectionately. Dora, my wife! I’ve waited 630 years for you.
The man gently tapped the projection.
“Make payment.”
“100 million cosmic dollars.”
The man tapped gently, and the 100 million cosmic dollars in his personal account—which had only been in his account for less than half a day-was deducted. His evolutionary talent wasn’t considered high; he found himself bottlenecked at Lv. 6 after more than 700 years! He was very proficient in techniques, yet he was only a second-rate expert in Blood Rain World.
He had tried many methods and worked in many industries! Finally, he reached his goal in Blood Rain World.
Soon, you’ll wake up, and we’ll be together. We still have a long life ahead of us, the man thought hopefully. We can travel the universe and visit many tourist planets.

In the virtual world.
Xu Jingming sat leisurely in the spaceship hall and examined the virtual worlds.
There’s still more than a month to the agreed time with the Fei family. In this month or so, I can also check out the other virtual worlds. Xu Jingming read up and gathered information.
The truly popular virtual worlds were those that didn’t require any entry fees.
