Big Shot

The vast universe is a place where danger and opportunity coexist.

However, danger accounts for the vast majority of the risks.

As for opportunities?

Compared to danger, it's naturally negligible.

It's like finding a needle in a haystack.

But this wasn't a problem in Su Yuan's eyes.

Through the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan was able to accurately identify every opportunity and safely avoid all risks.

"Pity."

Su Yuan gazed at the vast universe and the countless stars.

But they were willing but unable to.

Even though he knew that countless treasures were buried among the stars, he had no ability to retrieve them.

Starry Sky Lifeform below Level 10 cannot survive for long periods in the harsh cosmic environment, let alone traverse millions or tens of millions of light-years in search of treasure.

As for building starships? That's too slow, even though Su Yuan has the most advanced starship construction blueprints in the entire universe.

However, Blue Star's industrial infrastructure capabilities are far too low to be replicated. Even the most basic starship would take several years to build.

And to traverse millions or tens of millions of light-years with the most basic starships?

Even with the help of the Grey Mirror, which allowed them to avoid countless risks along the way, their speed was still too slow.

"Galactic Human Empire Virtual Network"

Su Primordial Spirit shifted slightly.

The so-called virtual network of the Galactic Human Empire is similar to the Blue Star Network.

However, the former covers the entire Galactic Human Empire.

In the vast universe, the Human Race has established thirty-six Galactic Human Empire.

Of these thirty-six Galactic Human Empire, twenty-three are Primary Galactic Human Empire, ten are Intermediate Galactic Human Empire, and three are advanced Galactic Human Empire.

The Primary Galactic Human Empire, the Intermediate Galactic Human Empire, and the Advanced Galactic Human Empire are also ranked from weakest to strongest.

Even the weakest Primary Galactic Human Empire is still far superior to the Blue Star. Its territory has a diameter of over 800 million light-years, covering 231,834 star systems and encompassing countless resource planets, life-bearing planets, and so on.

A wealth of information flashed through Su Yuan's mind; these were the intelligence he had obtained from questioning the Grey Mirror, revealing a corner of the mysterious universe.

The Intermediate Galactic Human Empire far surpass the Primary Galactic Human Empire in terms of strength and territory. As for the Galactic Human Empire, they are the pillars supporting the Human Race.

Over the long course of time, thirty-three primary and Intermediate Galactic Human Empire Primary Galactic Human Empire have experienced periods of rise and fall.

However, the Three Higher Galactic Human Empires have always existed.

"The virtual network of the Galactic Human Empire was created to facilitate the Human Race's rule over its vast territory."

"The Virtual Network of the Galactic Human Empire encompasses Thirty-Six Galactic Human Empires. Within its coverage, access to the virtual network enables instant communication."

"Even when separated by tens of millions or hundreds of millions of light-years, it remains the same."

Su Primordial Spirit calm. It was precisely the existence of the virtual network of the Galactic Human Empire that made the Human Race a dominant force in the universe.

By questioning the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan learned that the virtual network of the Galactic Human Empire was not just a simple network, but also involved in some kind of rule-based support.

Otherwise, they would have been overwhelmed by the powerful alien race long ago.

It should be noted that besides the Thirty-Six Galactic Human Empires, there are many other alien forces that are extremely covetous of the Galactic Human Empire' virtual network.

"Currently, the territory of Blue Star is located within the territory of the Canglan Empire, an Intermediate Galactic Human Empire. The Multi-Eye Race is a force within the Canglan Empire, and its strongest member is a peak-level Starry Sky Lifeform form."

Su Yuan's thoughts raced.

The Multi-Eye Race is the Alien Force that has set its sights on Blue Star. They rule over 197 inhabited planets and 336 resource planets, and their clan comprises 1,373 Starry Sky Lifeform forms.

"If we could access the virtual network of the Galactic Human Empire, it would be much more convenient, but..."

Su Yuan shook his head slightly. There are two ways to access the virtual network of the Galactic Human Empire. One is for a being at the pinnacle of Starry Sky Lifeform to use their immense mental power to detect the fluctuations in the virtual network of the universe and thus gain access.

Of course, this access method requires approval through soul fluctuations; only powerful human beings and those with authorized soul fluctuations can access it.

The second method involves using external aids, such as virtual reality pods, virtual reality headsets, and so on.

However, this type of external object requires a key material that does not exist on Blue Star.

Even with the "matter conversion" technology provided by the Grey Mirror, it would still take six or seven years to forcibly convert this material.

"Take your time. Once that Interstellar Colony Ship arrives, everything will be fine."

Su Yuan collected his thoughts and looked towards the distant starry sky, where the Interstellar Colony Ship was located.

The arrival of the Interstellar Colony Ship two or three years later would be an unprecedented catastrophe for any life form on Blue Star.

Because along with this came a massacre that swept across the entire Blue Star.

But in Su Yuan's eyes, it was an opportunity, an opportunity that could help him smoothly integrate into the universe.

After familiarizing himself with the strength of Level 5 Lifeform, Su Yuan landed.

Villa 66, Jinshan Villa District, Magic City.

Su Yuan sat on the living room sofa, lost in thought.

"Xiao Lan, has the villa been cleaned up yet?" Su Yuan asked casually.

"Master, everything has been done as you instructed; all traces have been erased."

The voice of the Artificial Intelligence, Xiao Lan, immediately rang out.

"Um."

Su Yuan nodded.

The reason for cleaning this villa is that Professor Qin has returned to China and will arrive at the villa in twenty minutes.

Professor Qin, 73 years old, is a former professor at Magic City University, an expert in life sciences, and also a homeowner in the Jinshan Villa District.

Just two or three years ago, Professor Qin went to the other side of the ocean because of his son, and only returned to the Xia Kingdom today.

Professor Qin

Su Yuan's thoughts were in turmoil. Two or three years ago, he impersonated a student from Magic City University and used the method suggested by the Grey Mirror to successfully gain Professor Qing's favor and move into this Villa 66.

For Su Yuan at that time, having a stable, safe, and undisturbed place to live was still very important.

Professor Qin's Villa 66 was one of the most suitable residences for Su Yuan, as suggested by the Grey Mirror.

Now, two or three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Su Yuan has gone from a young man who would ask the Grey Mirror several times before doing anything to ensure that he would not leave any flaws.

He rose to become the ruler of the entire Blue Star.

Now, Su Yuan can live anywhere on Blue Star if he wants—the White House? The Forbidden City? He can move in right now if he wishes.

Time.

Su Yuan felt a deep sense of emotion.

Even if you can see the changes through the Grey Mirror, you'll still have a lot of thoughts when you actually experience it.

Nineteen minutes later.

Su Yuan stood up from the sofa and went to the villa gate to wait.

A moment later, the doorbell rang.

Su Yuan didn't need to look at the surveillance footage to know it was Professor Qin.

In fact, Professor Qin has a iris fingerprint authentication for the villa. As the true owner of the villa, Professor Qin could have easily entered directly.

He only rang the doorbell out of politeness and because he was worried about startling Su Yuan.

Su Yuan stepped forward, opened the door, and saw Professor Qin with his white hair.

Professor Qin looks much older now than he did two or three years ago.

Su Yuan knew that the main reason for this was Professor Qin's son.

Two or three years ago, Professor Qin traveled to the other side of the ocean in an attempt to persuade his son to return to the Xia Kingdom and serve the country.

But the result is obvious: Professor Qin's son's work and family are both on the other side of the ocean. In particular, his work is with the Roske Foundation, where his benefits, treatment, and status are considered top-notch on the other side of the ocean.

Most importantly, some jobs can't be quit at will; with confidentiality agreements signed, you're not in control of your own life.

"Professor Qin."

Su Yuan greeted Professor Qin immediately upon seeing him.

"Haichuan."

Professor Qin smiled. Even though two or three years had passed, he could still remember Su Yuan's pseudonym from back then, which showed that it left a deep impression on him.

"You haven't changed much in the past few years, but I've aged a lot."

Professor Qin glanced at Su Yuan a few times, deeply moved.

Over the past two years, he has tried every possible method to persuade his son, but to no avail. Now, Professor Qin feels disheartened.

Professor Qin eventually came to understand his son; after all, good jobs are hard to find.

I've changed a lot too.

Su Yuan told the truth.

Don't be fooled by the fact that your appearance hasn't changed much; your internal physical structure and so on are no longer the same species as you were two or three years ago.

"Hahaha, people change."

Professor Qin felt relieved.

After exchanging a few words, the two went to the living room.

"Haichuan, you've put your heart into this." Professor Qin glanced around and noticed that it was exactly the same as when he left, clearly due to the careful maintenance Su Yuan had done during her stay.

"Professor Qin, I've lived here for two and a half years, paying 50,000 yuan a month in rent, which I've already transferred to you," Su Yuan said.

"Never mind, never mind." Professor Qin immediately shook his head.

In reality, when he initially rented the villa to Su Yuan for 50,000 yuan a month, it was just a token gesture. Now that he sees how well the house is protected, why would he charge rent again?

Professor Qin valued Su Yuan more than the rent.

"This can't be left unresolved." Su Yuan shook his head and asked, "Professor Qin, how did things go during your trip abroad?"

"That brat absolutely refuses to come back."

Professor Qin shook his head helplessly. "But that makes sense. Given his situation, forcibly resigning and returning to China would require paying an exorbitant fine and being banned from working in his field for life. The cost is too high."

"I see."

Su Yuan nodded slightly.

In fact, he had already learned about Professor Qin and his son's specific situation from the Grey Mirror.

"Professor Qin, do you want your son to return to China?" Su Yuan asked casually.

"Let's forget about it." Professor Qin shook his head, deciding not to think about it any further.

Over the past two or three years, he has traveled to many places across the ocean and visited many friends, but to no avail.

The Roske Foundation is too domineering in its control over its employees and has deep connections in the local area. Not to mention Xia Kingdom like Professor Qin, even members of parliament and high-ranking officials wouldn't dare to offend the owner of the Roske Foundation.

"Okay, your son can return to China tomorrow," Su Yuan said after thinking for a moment.

Professor Qin's son works for the Roske Foundation, which was founded by a four-eye level member of the Truth Society. The fate of its employees is entirely up to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan had a good impression of Professor Qin and wouldn't mind offering him some help as long as it didn't affect her own interests.

"Haichuan, this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't even think about getting involved," Professor Qin said, shaking his head.

The Roske Foundation is not something he or "Lin Haichuan" can handle.

The two chatted for a few more minutes.

Su Yuan then got up, said goodbye, and left.

Professor Qin escorted Su Yuan all the way to the door.

Only after Su Yuan disappeared did Professor Qin slap his forehead. "I forgot to ask Hai Chuan where he's doing his master's degree now."

Two or three years have passed. In Professor Qin's eyes, Su Yuan should have graduated with a bachelor's degree by now. Given the talent and learning Su Yuan displayed back then, he should definitely continue to pursue a master's degree or even a doctorate.

Just as Professor Qin was considering whether to make a phone call to inquire...

The phone rang again.

"Is it a son?"

Professor Qin glanced at the caller ID and answered the call.

Professor Qin originally thought that his son, Qin Lu, was calling him at this time to inquire about his safety or something.

As soon as he answered the phone, he heard his son Qin Lu's incredulous voice.

"Dad, who did you call? The foundation's boss just called me personally and asked me to come back to China to be the head of the Great Xia branch."

Qin Lu was utterly shocked.

"What?" Professor Qin was also somewhat bewildered.

Qin Lu, the son, is just a low-level employee at the Roske Foundation. To send him to another city as a manager? That's a lucrative position; countless people are eyeing it.

After all, being a high-ranking official in charge of a region is glamorous, offering both status and wealth.

But now.

This is a lucrative position.

So it fell on his own son's shoulders?

"I didn't."

Professor Qin was about to say that he hadn't contacted anyone, but then he remembered his conversation with Su Yuan, especially the latter's comment, "Your son will be able to return to China tomorrow."

At the time, Professor Qin thought Su Yuan was joking and didn't take it seriously.

But the phone call from his son that followed, and the content of that call, made it hard for Professor Qin not to think in that direction.

"This is unbelievable! I've never seen my boss talk to me like that before," Qin Lu, the son, exclaimed in amazement.

The owner of the Roske Foundation is known for his iron-fisted and ruthless nature; countless employees have been so berated by him that they couldn't lift their heads for months.

But just now, the boss's tone on the phone was so "gentle," and he even arranged everything for him over the phone, including booking his plane ticket for tonight.

In addition, all the special treatment they would receive upon arriving in Great Xia was arranged, which was extremely thoughtful.

"What kind of person do you think would make your boss do that?"

Professor Qin remained silent for a moment, then couldn't help but ask.

"He's definitely a big shot," Qin Lu, the son, rolled his eyes. "At least in our country, he'd be considered an absolute big shot, maybe even in the top 20, maybe even the top 50!"

Qin Lu, the son, had once seen footage of the foundation owner talking to a local state legislator. The former's attitude towards the latter was just so-so, not as nice as it had been to him earlier.

"A big shot."

Professor Qin's mind was filled with the scene of his conversation with Su Yuan, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
