Chapter 339 - Reunion? Gift of Fruit
Emperor Might and Vulcan were good people. They were die-hard Earth loyalists, and were also trustworthy friends, so Ling Jiu was at ease at handing them the Tomes of Laws.
During the meal, the three chatted a lot.
They talked about the current situation of the earth.
They talked about the follow-up development of the earth.
They talked about the development of wormholes.
Additionally, they talked about the use of the old lairs of the four great divine pantheons.
...
After the meal, Ling Jiu drove the maglev car to Chang’an Base City. He had eaten a little too much just now, so he wanted to go for a drive.
"Leoux, what level of civilization you think Earth belongs to now?"
"The situation on your planet is a bit complicated."
"From the perspective of a cultivation civilization, with a supergalactic lifeform like you on Earth, it should have been a supergalactic civilization."
"But it’s a pity that the people on Earth are too weak as a whole, with ninety percent of the population only a Level One or Two Planetary Lifeform."
"So, at most, all of you can be regarded as an early supergalactic civilization."
"From the perspective of a technological civilization, China and America had cracked the Ayang-Braend spaceship and have developed the Elemental Mortification technology.
"In other words, Earthlings have mastered the Elemental Mortification technology at the most basic level, and in theory should belong to an early supergalactic civilization."
"But the overall technological level of the planet is still too low, and is still at the level of an advanced planetary civilization, and not even a stellar civilization yet."
Leoux summarized. "In general, Earth still belonged to an advanced planetary civilization, but is stronger than an advanced planetary civilization."
Ling Jiu nodded slightly.
"You have powerful supergalactic lifeforms, and mastered the Elemental Mortification technology, and Earth is connected to so many wormholes."
"This is a unique advantage Earthlings have."
"Powerful supergalactic lifeforms to protect it."
"Supergalactic technologies to research!"
"There are also the wormholes, a high-speed passageway to other star regions."
Leoux said. "In other words: as long as you people make good use of these resources, you will complete the leap from a planetary civilization to a supergalactic civilization in a very short time."
Ling Jiu nodded repeatedly. He also felt that people of Earth were like children sitting upon several gold mountains, and the only thing they needed to do was to digest these gold mountains and then quickly grow up.
But growth... requires time.
"Work hard. I look forward to the day when Earth becomes a supergalactic civilization."
After returning to Chang’an Base City, Ling Jiu stayed for another two days before deciding to go to White Hole 2. The night before leaving, he called his good friend, Li Kai out.
It was still only the two of them.
It was still that food stall by the side of the road.
It was still the same beer and barbecue meat.
After not seeing him for a long while, Li Kai had m.a.t.u.r.ed a lot. He was now a Level 8 Arcanist, and his position was Pangu’s deputy manager of the Chang’an Base City branch, and was one of the top four.
This kind of status was something he dared not imagine before, but now, Ling Jiu felt that his friend’s status is rather low.
"Ol’ Li, are you interested in working at the HQ?"
Ling Jiu took a gulg of beer and then chomped on a lamb skewer as he asked casually. "If you want, I can arrange it for you."
"Better not."
Li Kai smiled and refused. "I am very satisfied with my current life. Looking at the entire Chang’ang’an Base City, everyone has to give me some face."
"More importantly, my family is also in Chang’an Base City, so are my relatives and friends. I think this is great."
"Plus, my current status is not low. Of the many classmates we have back then, you are doing the best, and I’m number two."
"Heh, I’ll be honest, forget being jealous of me, they are complimenting me in the class groupchat every day now... I’m enjoying everything now."
"Okay, then."
Ling Jiu did not insist, and so he changed the subject. "Say, how are our classmates doing now?"
"Most of them died in Ares’ hand, killed when Lantian Base City was destroyed. The others are well, like that."
Li Kai shook his head. "They are all ordinary people. The life of ordinary people is nothing more than going to school, finding work, going to work, getting married, plain and simple."
"Yeah."
Ling Jiu nodded slightly.
"Beep~~"
Li Kai’s phone suddenly rang, and he chuckled as he took out the phone. "Ol’Ling, guess who called me?"
"Who?"
Ling Jiu took a bite of the food.
"Our class rep, Xu Gang!"
Li Kai smiled and said. "Speaking of which, we haven’t been in touch for a long time now, I wonder why is he calling me now."
"You’ll know if you pick up."
Ling Jiu sniggered. "Take the call."
"Yeah."
Li Kai took the phone and said teasingly. "Yo, class rep, why you suddenly remembered to call me? That’s super rare!"
"Hahaha! You’re an important person now, I wouldn’t dare to disturb you if there’s nothing going on."
Xu Gang smiled and said. "Since there’s nothing going on now, I dare to contact you."
"Now look whose talking!"
Li Kai laughed and asked. "What’s the matter?"
"It’s like this!"
Xu Gang said. "Two days ago, during the Arcana Aptitude Test, our class teacher, Yin Guoping’s son had awakened his Arcana. So he was so happy that he wanted to celebrate, and asked us students to gather at the same time."
"So the class teacher asked me to contact everyone, and have a get together when all have time."
"Is that so, wait a bit, let me ask my wife if she allows it or not?"
Li Kai smiled and said. "It’s not like you don’t know my wife, she hates me attending class reunions. So I have to ask her opinion for this kind of things."
"Haha, the same."
After hanging up the phone, Li Kai explained what was going on in the call, and then asked. "So, you going?"
"Nah."
Ling Jiu refused without even thinking about it. He could not be bothered to attend this kind of boring class reunion, it was pointless anyway.
"It’s okay if you don’t go, but I must attend."
Li Kai smiled wryly. "When I got married this year, the class teacher and many classmates attended it. This time they are using the class teacher’s son’s celebration as an excuse, so I cannot refuse."
"Go then."
Ling Jiu nodded, and then took out four Casmodor Fruit.
"Ol’ Li, I was not there when you got married, and I didn’t give you anything. These four fruits, take them as my wedding gift for you."
"Don’t! You of all people shouldn’t be saying that to me."
Li Kai declined. "Ol’ Ling, you’ve given me more than enough. Without you, where would I stand today?"
"But, I really do regret that you could not attend my wedding. You know, you’re my best friend."
"I too felt regretful."
Ling Jiu was little helpless and he pushed the four Casmodo Fruits over. "Fine, take them. Don’t be pushing around with me, it’s annoying."
Li Kai smiled wryly and put the fruits away, as he asked.
"With your current status, the things you take out must not be ordinary stuff. Tell me, what’s the specific use use these four fruits?"
"Nothing much really."
Ling Jiu said casually. "This is the fruit of the Sacred Casmodor Tree, eating one can at most make an ordinary person a stellar lifeform."
"You what, mate?"
Li Kai almost jumped out of his chair. Eating a piece of that would make an ordinary people a stellar lifeform?
A stellar lifeform?
At most?
Bloody hell!
