Rise of the Zerg in the World of Gods

In the evening, sitting on the sofa at home, Xu Luo gazed through the window at the faint starlight visible between the gaps of towering buildings. His emotions were difficult to calm.

His family's apartment was already on a high floor. Previously, he didn't think his family's conditions were that good, only feeling that his parents, as interstellar explorers, worked very hard and often faced various dangers.

But now he knew that his conditions already surpassed 90% of people.

Even so, he could barely see the full sky. What about those on lower floors?

Especially those below the 50th floor, whose lives were entirely dependent on artificial lighting. Otherwise, they wouldn't see a bit of sunlight.

Often, they lived cautiously, somewhat like scavengers in the city.

Some even called themselves sewer rats.

Their lives had no sunlight. Cold, dark, and dirty was their entire existence.

Whenever he thought of this, Xu Luo would recall his former self.

Although after coming to this world, he had tried very hard to restrain himself from thinking about his past self.

But this incident of more than a dozen cities uniting deeply moved him.

It was precisely because he had experienced it that he could empathize more.

He wondered if his self in that world had died or simply disappeared, and how his elderly parents were living.

But with several siblings in the family, they shouldn't need to worry.

He also had some savings and a house, so his parents' future was secure, which was reassuring.

Compared to this world, that world was truly blessed. There wasn't so much oppression. As long as one was hardworking and willing, they could still find a job.

Great wealth and honor might be out of reach, but at least having a job to support oneself and one's family wasn't a problem.

Having enough to eat and meat with every meal wasn't an extravagance.

Feeling extremely frustrated, Xu Luo logged into the arena. When in a bad mood, why not vent on those alien races!

However, as soon as Xu Luo logged in, he was bombarded with various messages.

This was his oversight, not setting message rejection, resulting in many people sending him messages.

Xu Luo was very troubled and quickly had his assistant block messages according to his requirements. After blocking most of the random messages from fans wanting to get to know him or people advertising, there were only dozens of private messages left in the backend, which finally made Xu Luo feel relieved.

Seeing the pinned message in his private inbox about "Discussing the remittance plan for five billion star coins", Xu Luo raised an eyebrow. He had forgotten about this matter and didn't expect the other party to still remember it.

However, he didn't immediately deal with this private message, but instead opened the others.

Among the dozens of messages, most were trying to recruit him, some wanted to invest in him or cooperate with him, and there were also official messages from the backend. This official referred to the World of Gods - Arena official.

It was mainly about his match earnings in the arena.

When he fought with that Moloudo race before, many people placed bets. He had 4.5% of the betting earnings, which were now being transferred to him.

This was just the initial earnings. If people downloaded their battle video, the two of them would have subsequent ongoing earnings, settled at regular intervals.

Seeing the earnings, Xu Luo's face broke into a smile. It seemed that for a while, he wouldn't be short of money.

Money gives men courage. With money, one's confidence would be stronger.

As for subsequent income and such, Xu Luo didn't pay much attention. Who knows how much that would be? He'd deal with it when the time came.

At this point, he opened the first email.

There wasn't much content, just the other party hoping he could contact them to discuss the remittance matter, followed by a contact method.

This contact method was certified, proving it was the person who made the original bet, to prevent someone from impersonating and trying to deceive.

After some thought, Xu Luo still contacted the other party. If they were truly trustworthy, he had a use for that money.

"Sir, he's contacted us!" In the capital villa on the Origin Star, the middle-aged butler was very excited to see that Wild Slash Street, who hadn't been online for several days, had actively made contact.

Now Wild Slash Street was an absolute star among all civilizations in the universe. How could he not be excited?

The view count on that battle video was simply exploding!

"He contacted us, so he contacted us. What's the big fuss about!" The little old man was much calmer than him.

"Start a temporary session. This old man wants to listen in. You go contact him, hear what requirements he has!"

"Yes!" The middle-aged man quickly nodded and opened a temporary session from the arena.

This was a method of not leaving contact information, also a way to indicate that they had no intention of investigating the other party's real identity in reality.

"Hello, Wild Slash Street!" Seeing the familiar mantis, the middle-aged man quickly greeted.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Xu Qiang, representing my master to discuss the betting earnings with you."

"Hello!" Seeing the middle-aged man opposite, Xu Luo's voice sounded a bit muffled.

To him, who the other person was didn't matter. He just wanted to see if they would keep their word.

"It's like this, five billion is not a small sum, so we have five plans here to safely transfer the money to your designated account. During this process, we won't interfere. We won't know whose account it ultimately enters. The entire process will be handled by a third party, so you don't need to worry about your identity being leaked."

"No need!" Xu Luo spoke calmly.

He wouldn't leave himself any hidden dangers. Whether what the other party said was true or not, he wouldn't take their money.

As long as it was done, there would be traces left. When they search later, there would be clues to follow.

For him, this was too dangerous, so naturally, he couldn't take the risk.

five billion credit points indeed wasn't a small sum.

But there were many ways to make money, and it wasn't worth risking his life for.

If he wanted to in the future, he could easily exchange some faith power for large sums of credit points. Although five billion was huge, it could still be exchanged.

"No need?" Xu Qiang seemed a bit dumbfounded, thinking he had misheard.

"Sir, rest assured, there won't be any problems with this money, and no one will come to investigate its source. My master is the executive vice president of the Galaxy Group, Xu Xian. Money given out by the old man, no one will investigate, and this is legitimate earnings, the Business Department won't pursue it either."

"It's not about that!" Xu Luo shook his head.

"I don't need so much money. Leave it for those who need it."

"Are you sure you want to do this?" When he heard this, Xu Qiang thought he had misheard. This was five billion!

Whether this person was considering safety or truly felt this money should be given to those in need, truly viewing money as dirt, this was five billion! How many people, when faced with so much money, could calmly say they didn't need it?

At least, Xu Qiang knew very clearly that he couldn't be so calm.

"This is five billion credit points!"

"Mm!" Xu Luo nodded. Although five billion credit points was a lot, it would be too hot to handle!

Moreover, this was just an unexpected gain.

Compared to money, his own safety was more important.

The online world and reality must be kept separate.

"Then do you have any plans for handling this money?" Xu Qiang was a qualified butler. Coming from three generations of butlers, he understood very well what should be asked and what shouldn't.

At times like this, it was necessary to ask clearly. If others had any handling opinions, naturally, they would follow instructions. If not, how to handle it would be discussed with the old master before deciding.

"There are still many schools that don't have basic Divine Domain facilities built. Use this money to commission you to carry out related construction." Xu Luo spoke calmly. He could only hope the other party was trustworthy. Otherwise, he had no way to supervise them. Even if they didn't do it, he couldn't do anything to them.

However, Xu Luo felt they probably wouldn't do that. Otherwise, they could have just taken the money and left. Saying they would share with him earlier was just words, without any contract. It was the other party who actively sought him out, which showed this was a trustworthy person.

"Alright, I will inform the master that this is your decision."

Xu Qiang looked deeply at the mantis before him, not knowing what face was behind it, but one thing was certain: this was a young person.

And now, without batting an eye, he used five billion for educational construction.

"Good lad, you've got guts. This old man will follow your lead and be extravagant for once. It's unexpected wealth anyway, so let's use this ten billion to build Divine Domain facilities for schools, to enhance students' strength."

An old but hearty voice came through.

"At the same time, I'll put my face on the line and go begging from those people, specifically setting up a fund to handle facility construction matters. You just wait for my good news!"

"Old sir is truly magnanimous!" Hearing this voice, Xu Luo knew this should be the original person who made the bet!

"I don't have much money either. Since you're establishing a fund, let's invest my battle video income into it!" Xu Luo thought that his battle video wouldn't make much money anyway, so he might as well contribute a little bit more. After all, his current savings were already enough.

"Invest your battle video income?" Xu Xian was surprised.

"Little fellow, are you serious?"

"Yeah, contribute my modest effort. If it can build one more facility, that's good!" The day's events had deeply affected Xu Luo.

If there were enough funds to build facilities, how could they have made such choices?

He couldn't help much, so he might as well contribute a little bit!

"Great spirit!" Xu Xian couldn't help but give a thumbs up!

"This old man has been in the military for most of his life, and there aren't many people I admire. Little fellow, you're one of them. I don't know whose child you are, but you're stronger than those grandsons of mine!"

"Rest assured, I'll definitely handle this matter seriously. Just watch! Wait for my good news!"

After discussing some details, the temporary session between the three ended.

"Among young people, I've never admired anyone, but today's person, I can't help but admire. Not to mention his powerful strength, this kind of spirit is truly beyond many people!"

Xu Qiang sighed with emotion.

"That kid, he's a sly one!" The little old man-like Xu Xian was very admiring at first, but being old and experienced, as the initial emotion gradually subsided, he realized it wasn't quite like that!

"That five billion, he didn't dare to take it, afraid his real-world identity would be exposed. This is understandable. But after seeing me, he promptly increased his investment, adding his battle video income. This shows he truly values the construction of battle facilities very much, indicating this child has suffered!"

"Now many schools indeed lack various facilities. I've heard many students can't even conduct basic training. Many students in small cities don't even know what avatar battle is, only blindly developing units. Even for units, related facilities are insufficient. Many people in the whole school queue up to use them, maybe not even getting a turn in a month."

Xu Qiang sighed.

"Yes! So using this five billion to build facilities can alleviate part of the Education Department's difficulties!"

Xu Xian's eyes opened and closed.

"After all, it helps solve a headache problem for the Education Department. If I'm going to fundraise, they should show some gesture too. Go establish a fund specifically to handle this matter. However, although ten billion is not a small amount, it's unrealistic to build for all human planets. After all, this is that kid's money, so let's start from the Ancestral Star. We can't eat an elephant in one bite, let's take it step by step!"

"Old sir, I'm afraid it's not just ten billion anymore!" Xu Qiang reminded.

"You're right, that kid is rich." Xu Xian realized.

"By the way, do you think that kid knows how much his battle video income is?"

"I don't think he knows!" Xu Qiang started laughing.

"Now that battle video is spreading like wildfire across the universe. Countless people are watching it. The click income and download income are astronomical figures."

"I also think he probably doesn't know. Otherwise, facing an unexpected windfall of five billion that he didn't dare to take, so he could generously donate it. But to directly give away his own legal income as well, I don't quite believe it!"

Xu Xian laughed unkindly.

"I really want to see his expression when he learns the truth! I wonder whose child he is!"

"Old sir, our Xu family's children aren't bad either!" Xu Qiang smiled.

"The fourth young master killed a High God recently!"

"Don't mention that rascal to me!" Hearing this name, Xu Xian puffed up his mustache and glared.

"Oh, say one word about him and he gets upset. This old man is on an alien planet, and he hasn't brought my grandson back to see me for so many years. Why did he come by himself? He even said I don't like him. I don't like him my ass! Next time he comes alone, let him crawl here!"
