“Haha, 100 billion cosmic dollars can buy an undeveloped habitable planet,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “I’m only a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform after all. Although I’m talented, I know my limits
 Nobody is willing to give me 100 billion cosmic dollars.”
“We are.” Captain Ennor stared at Xu Jingming.
“That’s because the Redmond Medal hinders your plans on Earth,” Xu Jingming responded.
Captain Ennor’s expression froze.
Yes, Xu Jingming had a very small number of shares in many of Earth’s core corporations. As a shareholder, he had to at least achieve the minimum fairness in the land reclamation contracts that the Black Moon civilization was about to impose on them.
That way, the Black Moon civilization would lose at least a trillion! It was because of this that they were willing to give him 100 billion! Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a need to pay such a huge price even when inviting Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms to migrate.
“Mr. Xu.” Xefani finally spoke and smiled. “As a human, what do you pursue? Is it your personal future or your family and friends? Our Black Moon civilization will give you a better future.”
“Gentlemen.” Xu Jingming said, “Earth is my homeworld! If a person betrays their homeworld, even if they can live a good life in another civilization
 they will only be a stray dog!”
“Stray dog?” The expressions of Xefani and Captain Ennor changed slightly.
“Captain Ennor is also a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform, so you should understand,” Xu Jingming said. “A cosmic lifeform should have faith! It’s a faith that goes beyond life. You have to keep the faith in order to ignite the light of the mind.”
Captain Ennor stared at him.
...
“Captain Ennor, I believe you understand my faith.” Xu Jingming’s eyes shone faintly—it was a belief that couldn’t be shaken even if the world collapsed.
“I understand.” Captain Ennor nodded. “It’s no wonder you became a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform in two years. Impressive!”
At this moment, Captain Ennor understood that it was useless no matter what he said.
Captain Ennor wouldn’t fall out with him either! On Earth, only Xu Jingming—who received the Redmond Medal—could make him maintain basic etiquette.

“Then, we’ll take our leave.” Captain Ennor got up, and so did Ambassador Xefani.
Soon, the two of them left.
Xu Jingming also walked them to the door.
“Jingming, how was the discussion?” Director Zhou walked over and asked. They didn’t dare to leave surveillance cameras in the reception hall.
“Director.” Xu Jingming tapped his wrist gently, and a video appeared on the screen—it was the conversation from before. “I’ll send you the video of the conversation. Watch it yourself.”
Director Zhou smiled and nodded when he heard that.
In fact, when the two leaders of the Black Moon civilization’s diplomatic mission left, Director Zhou could guess the outcome of the negotiations from their expressions.


In the virtual world.
Captain Ennor contacted his grandfather, Cipolla, again.
“Grandpa, this is the video of me meeting Xu Jingming.” Captain Ennor sent the video to his grandfather—his smart bot had naturally recorded the entire meeting.
As for Cipolla, he watched the video and nodded slightly. “Faith? There’s no need to attempt bribing him anymore. I’ll discuss it with my old friends and finally decide on a plan to reclaim Earth’s civilization.”
“Yes, Grandpa,” Captain Ennor replied.

At home.
“How was the negotiation?” Li Miaomiao asked.
“Thankfully, Tejano gave me the Redmond Medal,” Xu Jingming replied. “The ambassador from Black Moon civilization and Captain Ennor didn’t pressure me. They only thought of ways to bribe me.”
Xu Jingming understood that in the face of such a powerful civilization, he couldn’t stop them even if he was a peak Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform. What fended them off
 was the deterrence of the Redmond Group!
“Ambassador Tejano is a benefactor to us and Earth’s civilization,” Li Miaomiao said.
“Yeah.” Xu Jingming nodded. He was very touched that such a person would treat him as a friend.
“I’ll go to the virtual chamber first,” Xu Jingming said. “I have to make the best use of my time and explore the mysterious land.”
Soon, he entered the virtual chamber and went online again.
As long as he made his stance clear, he naturally didn’t need to interfere in the negotiations between Earth and Black Moon. What was most important to him now
 was to explore the mysterious land!
