Chapter 189: 135 The Entire Civilization’s Foster Father_2
The Mirror World had completely blocked all Alien Demon Invasions, ensuring that during this period, Planet Blue Star had not seen a single Abyss monster attack.
People thought the monsters had been thoroughly dealt with.
Unexpectedly, the real disaster had been growing all along, it was just being held back by the high rank mecha pilots!
Destructive crises, fragile civilization…
This information awoke many people from the “false peace.”
They became aware of the sacrifices made by the high rank mecha pilots, understood the Alliance’s urgent intentions, and naturally stopped making foolish remarks.
As for those who already knew the situation and were still spouting nonsense…
The Alliance simply made an offline arrest.
Hmm.
The reputation of Li Xiao as the Symbol of the Alliance wasn’t just for show; it was earned through relentless fighting.
Planet Blue Star’s years of peace were not due to any reasonable rules…
but due to real deterrence.
And so, in a short time.
The slight upheaval caused by the accelerated pace of Planet Blue Star’s civilization was completely nipped in the bud.
During this process, Jiang Chen accepted Li Xiao’s invitation.
As an award presenter, he attended the ceremony for the Genius Competition of the entire Planet Blue Star.
This should be considered Jiang Chen’s first true public appearance.
Merely by showing up, he completely electrified the entire audience!
Whether it was the new and old mecha pilots attending the ceremony or the online audience watching the events, everyone became excited.
The number of comments on the live stream increased by several hundred times in an instant, flooding the screen.
This momentum was even more exaggerated than when Li Xiao appeared!
When you think about it, it makes sense.
While Li Xiao, as the Symbol of the Alliance, had fans all over the world, he also had some detractors—
after all, although the Alliance was strong over the past decade, it had not achieved true unification, and different organizations still existed on Planet Blue Star.
People from different countries and organizations naturally brought different voices.
Not everyone was impressed with the Symbol of the Alliance.
Jiang Chen was different, though.
He had no blemishes!
He was like a comet falling from the sky, a meteoric rise that pierced through the Abyss difficulty level and ushered in a new era for Planet Blue Star.
After that, he showcased an impressive amount of grinding.
With his own strength, he grinded down hundreds of thousands of mecha pilots!
Before attending the award ceremony, he spent six days grinding six hundred Abyss Level 2s.
Even now, 2nd Rank mecha pilots are struggling in Abyss Level 2, with an exploration rate of less than 15%.
And the Supercharge Modules, once numbered just a few on Planet Blue Star.
He casually grinded out nearly a thousand of them to sponsor and host the Genius Competition of the entire Planet Blue Star.
A young, handsome, powerful, wealthy, almost perfect genius of the new era, he is the true hope of Planet Blue Star, the object of envy and admiration for countless people.
Especially those who had injected the super ability gene serum.
Upon seeing Jiang Chen, they felt an innate closeness and fondness that stemmed from the depths of their genes, like a catalyst that intensified their admiration.
The champion of the Genius Competition of Planet Blue Star was a red-haired woman from a remote area, named Parvin.
Her mecha pilot talent came with a ninefold increase in base strength bonus, capable of random quality growth.
She was a genius mecha pilot with the potential of a hopeful!
Her past life experiences, combined with her performance in the competition, where she relied on her talent to steamroll over her peers of the same rank, had made her somewhat arrogant.
Even though she had long heard of Jiang Chen’s experiences, admired his abilities, respected his contributions, and even saw him as a target, believing she would surpass him sooner or later,
However…
When Parvin saw Jiang Chen descending from the sky, from the moment she saw his figure,
The kinship born from the depths of her genes awakened her instincts.
Seeing his broad and upright silhouette seemed to overlap with the most admired shadow in her memory…
“Daddy…”
The feeling of admiration unconsciously escalated.
When Parvin saw Jiang Chen approaching with the box, her fair cheeks blushed slightly, and her eyes were filled with admiration.
As she took the box, hesitating for just a moment, she couldn’t help but ask,
“Dad… Sir, can you hug me?”
Her voice carried only admiration and closeness, and a hint of fear that shouldn’t be there.
It was as if she feared she would defile the man in front of her who seemed enshrouded by a sacred halo.
Not until he surprised her by speaking did she react, his voice like the music of the heavens decreed.
“Of course you may.”
A simple hug.
Parvin’s body trembled slightly, and she almost fainted.
He really hugged her, how wonderful!!
It wasn’t just Parvin.
Every genius mecha pilot at the scene had been injected with the super ability gene serum.
Add to that their already favorable impression of Jiang Chen, filled with admiration and respect.
When they came into contact with Jiang Chen, the kinship derived deep from their genes, or perhaps from their bloodlines, further catalyzed these emotions.
It was as if babies are born with an innate closeness to their parents.
Their liking for Jiang Chen surged in a straight line.
In fact.
Jiang Chen himself had also noticed the situation.
Upon closer proximity, he could faintly feel a slight blood connection emanating from these mecha pilots.
Combined with the adoration and reverence in their eyes, along with the slip-ups some of them made.
He instantly understood what had happened.
Was this a natural fondness for the gene prototype born from bloodline after undergoing genetic enhancement?
“The original super ability gene technology didn’t have this problem, right…”
“Is it because of me, or because of the technology reset?”
Fortunately, Jiang Chen had considered that the super ability gene serum might pose slight ethical issues, so he did not let Father Jiang and Mother Jiang inject it.
Otherwise, this would truly have turned into a mutual parent-child relationship.
After the award ceremony was completed.
Jiang Chen found Li Xiao, the big shot, and talked to him about the matter.
The latter was not at all surprised and patted his shoulder.
“The original super ability gene technology involved mutation and regeneration of genes…”
“If it were popularized on a large scale, it could affect the genes of humans on Planet Blue Star, posing future reproductive issues, which would be counterproductive.”
“Hence, I asked them to slightly refine the technology, incorporating a bit of magic.”
“The current super ability gene serum only strengthens the human body through special enhancement and does not completely transform the genetic chain.”
“People’s genetic information will not change because of this, it won’t affect the continuation of civilization and race.”
“However, under these circumstances, your super ability gene will also accumulate slightly within their bodies…”
“Creating a sense of a bloodline connection is quite normal.”
“If the other person doesn’t have a good impression of you, or doesn’t care about bloodline kinship, it won’t have any effect.”
“So it’s just an insignificant side effect.”
Li Xiao paused, then said with a smile.
“Moreover…”
“You are the one who has expanded civilization’s potential, brought forward the heritage of civilization, and provided various precious items…”
“Aren’t you essentially the foster father of Planet Blue Star’s civilization?”
“People’s worship of you is only natural.”
“Do you expect them to hate you instead?”
“…”
It has to be said that this is indeed the truth.
Jiang Chen held competitions and advocated for civilization potential…
Not only for the partial benefits but also stemming from the word “compatriots.”
After all, humans are a social species; Planet Blue Star is his home.
If one were to support the growth of their homeland and face disdain and ridicule in return, even Jiang Chen would feel chilled at heart.
Li Xiao clearly understood this.
Thus, he shouldered all the internal issues and public opinions in the name of the alliance.
Jiang Chen didn’t have to carry anything too heavy nor deal with a few troubles.
He just needed to be the radiant beacon of hope, leading the way and advancing triumphantly.
Realizing Li Xiao’s efforts, Jiang Chen said,
“Boss, thank you.”
Li Xiao shook his head with a chuckled.
“That’s something I should be saying to you.”
