Section 37

He sighed in his heart.

As expected of someone who could become the President of the Galaxy Evolutionist Association.

His emotional intelligence… it was simply astounding!

He was still just Xia Lao’s Named Disciple, yet Song Yu had already started investing in him.

And he could even win Xia Lao's favor…

And for him, given his status, this matter wasn't even worth mentioning!

At almost no cost, he could simultaneously gain his goodwill and his teacher's slight favor, tsk tsk…

A shrewd person, an old fox!

As for asking him for help…

Even a fool would know he said that on purpose, to make his friendship with him seem less utilitarian.

He merely rephrased it, and the nature of the matter was redefined.

How could Xu Zi'an refuse such kindness?

Perhaps, this was the first benefit of becoming Xia Lao's Disciple?

Although Xia Lao would not openly help him unconditionally.

However, the intangible benefits… were equally unimaginable.

For example, Xu Zi'an had no reason to refuse the generous gift Song Yu sent.

You know, other ordinary Evolutionists, who wanted to apply to join the Evolutionist Association?

Sure, they could.

Through rigorous assessments.

He only needed to fill out an application, and the President of the Galaxy Association would personally approve it!

To obtain the qualification for the Registered Evolutionist assessment?

Sure!

He had to figure out a way himself!

And the real situation was…

A typical prospective Evolutionist, who wanted to obtain the qualification for the Registered Evolutionist assessment.

They would even have to spend money to bribe those starship captains, only then might they agree.

Under normal circumstances, even if you paid, a biological starship captain would very rarely agree to let someone with no Evolution experience perform Evolution on their starship!

Even if it was just the Evolution of parts, it would be impossible!

Compared to this…

The gap was too, too big.

This was the perfect interpretation of 'it's good to have connections in high places,' wasn't it?

Indeed, Xia Lao, hearing their conversation, turned and smiled slightly at Xu Zi'an.

Clearly, Xia Lao would not mind this kind of help.

Because this kind of help ultimately depended on Xu Zi'an's own true strength!

It was completely different from help like giving money or materials.

Besides Song Yu.

Xu Zi'an also added contact information with many others.

And their identities…

Made Xu Zi'an's forehead break out in a cold sweat.

Originally, he was a little worried about Xia Lao's safety during his subsequent travels, but when he learned their true identities…

Well, he felt he was purely worrying for nothing.

Three of them were biological Cruiser Captains.

Xia Lao himself, and Song Yu, their starship levels were even more terrifying!

Xu Zi'an didn't know Xia Lao's starship level.

Xu Zi'an didn't ask.

But he knew Song Yu's; Song Yu himself had said it.

A… Battleship!

A Battleship, one level higher than a Cruiser, reaching the sixth level!!!

Xu Zi'an also learned from them the real reason why they were attacked this time and why some people were injured.

Firstly, it was because the Human Traitor also brought a Battleship this time!

Secondly, they had known Xia Lao and his group's navigation information in advance.

They had started to set up early.

Various very high-end stealth devices covered that star area, hiding all the Human Traitor's starships, yet they were not discovered by Xia Lao and the others' starships.

Secondly, a large amount of ammunition was pre-buried in that star area.

The incident happened suddenly; even though Xia Lao and the others reacted immediately and blocked ninety-nine percent of the damage, the remaining zero point one percent damage still caused damage to many starships, and some even fell.

As for why Xia Lao and his group were traveling with an interstellar merchant fleet, what they were going to do, and where their destination was…

Xu Zi'an didn't know.

They didn't say.

Xu Zi'an didn't ask either.

He knew without thinking that it must be some confidential information.

Don't ask what shouldn't be asked.

Xu Zi'an understood this much.

After dinner.

Xu Zi'an quickly filled out the application form for the Evolutionist Association.

Song Yu's side approved it in seconds.

In just a blink of an eye.

The Evolutionist Association provisional member status that Xu Zi'an had always longed for but couldn't obtain was resolved so easily.

Once again, he deeply felt that having a backer was truly different!

And everything that happened today made him feel like he was dreaming.

The people he met today, one by one, were big figures he never dared to imagine before, yet today they all showed him the most friendly smiles.

Even… with a slight hint of flattery!

Indeed.

A gem will always shine.

As long as a person is constantly striving.

Then opportunity and success.

Will always—

Meet unexpectedly.

Chapter 33: Xia Lao Departs, Tier 2 reconnaissance ship!

Xia Lao and his group clearly had very important matters.

They originally planned to leave directly once the starship was repaired.

But after taking Xu Zi'an as a Named Disciple, they intentionally stayed for an extra day.

For the entire day.

Xia Lao was teaching Xu Zi'an various knowledge.

And Xu Zi'an treasured it, listening with rapt attention.

What was interesting was.

Because Xu Zi'an had undergone a year of System teaching.

Therefore, many theories he spoke of were even novel to Xia Lao.

And then Xia Lao would pull Xu Zi'an into a long conversation, and in the end, Xia Lao…

Even gained a lot himself.

For this.
