The Best Thing Ever: The Shares Were Free, and I Got to Set the Terms

Looking at the string of question marks sent by Sun Temple Grandmaster and master, Tang Ping stroked his chin, looking completely bewildered.

What does this mean? Is it because he sent the email too hastily, or because he's pressuring me too much? Just as I was pondering this, the official email from the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way arrived, with two agreements attached.

Tang Ping clicked on it casually.

The first document, the "Agreement on the Transfer of 30% Equity Proceeds from the Solar System to the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way," clearly lists his name in the transferee section.

The second document is the "Agreement on Tang Ping Entrusting the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way to Manage the Solar System".

After glancing at the densely packed clauses, Tang Ping, too lazy to read them word by word, called out, "Little Love, come here and help me take a look at these two agreements." As soon as he finished speaking, a petite figure darted over.

It was his personal virtual Elf, the little one who always wore pigtails and transformed into Little Cat Girl. Just moments ago, it was happily bouncing around in the hall, but upon hearing there was work to be done, it immediately suppressed its playfulness, picked up the protocol screen, and began to examine it carefully and seriously.

The Smart Sprite of those big shots are all incredibly busy, analyzing a vast amount of virtual data every day.

Take those powerful King Rank venture into the Outer Battlefield as an example. Their Smart Sprite must keep an eye on the clues captured by the Detector at all times, analyze battlefield intelligence, the movements of the Hong Alliance, and the secrets of the Human Race. They dare not make the slightest oversight, because a seemingly insignificant piece of information might allow its master to escape a life-or-death crisis or gain immense wealth.

Even more so, some Smart Life also have to handle family affairs. Take Babata, for example. Back then, she had to devote most of her energy to managing all the affairs of the Luo Family, big and small, and could only steal a few moments to relax and play games.

But Little Love is different; she's genuinely free.

Besides automatically replying to official emails from Earth, her daily work mainly involves processing the purchasing lists for the hundred maids in the Platinum Temple.

When she was bored out of her mind, she would sit in front of the screen and devour all sorts of management books, such as "The 12 Basics of Work," "Lifelong Learning," and "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," until she knew them by heart. The rest of the time, she would spend almost all her time hanging around Tang Ping.

Sometimes they can hop and jump around all day, as if afraid that one day they will be abandoned by their owner and sold on a second-hand market because they are too idle and useless.

She had personally witnessed those Smart Sprite whose original owners' data had been erased, becoming dazed and helpless, left to be chosen by others. Just thinking about that scene sent chills down her spine and filled her with inexplicable terror.

After a moment, Little Love checked the contents of the agreement three times before looking up and explaining crisply, "Master, these two agreements don't play word games or contain any traps! The first one is an unconditional transfer of the 30% equity stake in the Solar System held by the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way to you!"

She paused, then pointed to the second agreement and said, "The second one is even simpler. For the safety of the Solar System, the Galaxy have drafted a trusteeship agreement. However, it states that the annual trusteeship fee is an unknown amount, and the trusteeship period is also an unknown time. It's just waiting for you to fill it out!"

Tang Ping was taken aback. "Unknown amount? Unknown time? What kind of operation is this?"

Little Love blinked and added, "Simply put, the official seal has already been affixed by the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way; the remaining figures are entirely up to you!"

Tang Ping stroked his chin, his eyes flickered slightly, and he instantly understood.

Brilliant!

In this way, Tang Ping could legitimately continue to avoid appearing under the guise of "seclusion," while King Anle could remain carefree in the Sun Temple. Otherwise, if the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way directly sold the rights to profits and security to Tang Ping, what reason would King Anle have to continue overseeing the Solar System?

When the Luo Family takes over management, given Luo Feng's current state of being nowhere to be found, Earth will likely be devoured and divided up by various forces through various means, just like those other forgotten secret realms, until not even a trace of bones remains.

Master and Grandmaster have truly gone to great lengths! They deserve a huge thumbs up!

Without hesitation, Tang Ping replied to his master and Grandmaster with two words: Loyalty.

Sure enough, a string of ellipses replied instantly, probably expressing satisfaction and delight at the apprentice's filial piety.

Tang Ping was in high spirits and no longer hesitated. With a wave of his hand, he signed his name on both agreements.

Buzz~

With a flash of golden light, the agreement officially took effect.

A smile appeared on Tang Ping's lips.

To be honest, while the gains from Earth are substantial in the long run, they are merely a drop in the ocean for him right now.

When he breaks through to the realm of the Universe Master in the future, this amount of money will be nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

But he insisted on taking back the shares, not because of the potential profits. His real motivation was that from this moment on, Earth would finally belong entirely to its own people!

From that time onward, the Earth truly achieved sovereignty and territorial integrity!

Yay!

The moment the agreement took effect, all relevant parties' terminals received a notification.

The Luo Family mansion.

Xu Xin frowned slightly, utterly puzzled, as she looked at the equity transfer notice sent by the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way. What Tiantian had Tang Ping displayed that could make the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way make such a huge sacrifice?

Although this 30% stake in Earth may not seem to be of top value now, everyone knows that Earth has only been developed for a few thousand years. In the foreseeable future, as those gifted new generations continue to grow, the value of Earth will inevitably rise.

Tens of thousands, even tens of millions of years from now, when those children grow into immortals, King Rank, or even Venerable Level, the value of Earth will be terrifying beyond imagination!

What kind of genius could make the Cosmic Galaxy Milky Way willingly transfer their shares for free? Could it be that Tang Ping, in less than ten thousand years, has already surpassed the benchmark of unparalleled human geniuses: the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain?

But we haven't heard a single word about it.

Xu Xin shook her head, quickly putting that question out of her mind.

Forget it, I can't be bothered with that.

Regardless of the circumstances, this is a tremendous good thing for Earth. At the very least, Tang Ping is also Earth Lineage; we're all on the same side. From now on, we can sit down and talk things over.

As for geniuses----

Xu Xin smiled confidently.

In this universe, even the most talented person could not compare to her Feng Ge.

No problem!

In the Mars office of the Solar System, Marquis Justice stared at the agreement notification that popped up on the screen. His pupils contracted first, and then his face was full of confusion.

Over the years, she followed her master like a rootless duckweed, drifting in every corner of the vast universe.

He always took on dirty and tiring jobs that others would avoid at all costs. He was either suppressing Alien Race or clearing out dangerous secret realms. He was so busy that he barely had time to rest and cultivate.

On countless nights after fierce battles, she would gaze at the starry sky and ask herself blankly: Was the philosophy she held so dear truly correct?

Those mocking voices would always inadvertently ring in my ears: Just like fish swimming in the ocean, countless creatures are eliminated by the law of natural selection every year. What's the point of you risking your life to save a handful?

But whenever she sees the grateful tears glistening in the eyes of those she has pulled back from the brink of despair, she grips her longsword tightly and rallies herself once more.

Yes, to the vast ocean, the life or death of a single fish may seem insignificant. But for the fish that was saved, everything she did was the entire meaning of her rebirth!

Human Race needs the torch of justice to be passed on! A single spark can start a prairie fire!

In the years that followed, only those few thousand years guarding the Solar System were the most peaceful time of her life.

No longer needing to lick blood from the edge of a knife and risk her life, her Security Department has won the highest performance award every year, and she herself is about to be rated as an outstanding employee and will receive Marquis Level resources and training.

It was only in these thousands of years that she truly realized that life was not just about fighting and wandering, but could also have such a sense of security and stability.

But this agreement----

Marquis Zhengyi's heart sank suddenly. Could it be said that the pattern of the solar system was about to change? She would also be transferred to other star fields and live a wandering and helpless life again?

The next moment, when he saw the words "entrusted custody", the Marquis Justice face that had been tense all along suddenly melted away.

Those eyes, which were always filled with a chilling murderous aura, softened a little, and a rare, radiant smile appeared on their faces.

Yay!
