Chapter 151: Planet Aquamarine; New Astral Apostle (1)

“Planet Aquamarine… it really is pretty blue.”

Zhou Jing carefully read the drawings and data in the manual. If nothing went wrong, this would be his home for many years to come.

The current map of human civilization was distributed on a certain spur of a large galaxy. The actual coordinates were the Halo Star System – Golden Emperor Spur.

In the layers of star systems, human civilization was only a tiny speck of dust. Above the Halo Star System, there were still larger galaxies such as Star Clusters, Super Star Clusters, Super Star Cluster Complexes, even Galactic Filaments, and more.

The various colonial planets of the interplanetary system were distributed in dozens or hundreds of Star Systems. Most of them were single Star Systems, while a small number were double or triple Star Systems.

Apart from these Star Systems with colonial planets, many Star Systems were not suitable for living in. The people were used to calling them “empty galaxies.”

The Interstellar Government thus constantly was on the search for colonial planets—habitable planets from the surrounding Star Systems. If they could not find them, they could only let the spacecraft continue to sail to further Star Systems.

According to the location of these colonial planets, they would then be divided into administrative regions. With the mother planet as the center, the colonial planets would then be divided into many cone-shaped regions named “Star Sectors” in all directions. Generally, there were 8 to 22 colonial planets in each Star Sector.

As for the Planet Aquamarine, it was separated from the Silver Wind Planet by three Star Systems, which were empty galaxies. It was already considered very close, and they were all members of the same Star Sector.

Planet Aquamarine was a planet in a single Star System. It had a total area of 580 million square kilometers—36% land and 64% water. The climate was suitable, and the native beasts were all ordinary creatures. The planet’s rotation period was 24 interstellar conventions, 360 days on the Universal Calendar.

Under the coordination and consultation of the Interstellar Government alliance, Planet Aquamarine was currently under the management of ten countries. Out of the members of the Seven Pinnacle States, they occupied three seats, namely Hein, Weiss, and the Scarlet Nation that Zhou Jing was in… Among the countries that managed a colonial planet, there were generally no more than four members of the Seven Pinnacle States managing it.

After the initial construction and the development of the previous batches of immigrants, there was no shortage of infrastructure. The living supplies could be considered self-sufficient at this point. The ten governing countries had built a large city on Planet Aquamarine, and there were several medium-sized cities and resource collection points.

However, the entire area of development for each country was less than a province at the moment, and they were still in the midst of long-term construction.

With the engineering power of the various countries, it was not difficult to build a new city. However, there were not enough immigrants now, so building a city was not an urgent task. They could wait for the population to grow and slowly expand. If too many cities were built at once, there would be little room for appreciation of the land price. As governments, they had to plan for the future.

Zhou Jing saw in the introduction of the manual that Planet Aquamarine was one of the top five planets that had been discovered by human civilization recently.

“It’s still in the early stages of development. Even the earliest immigrant group has only reproduced for a generation. The total population is only about 100 million. It will be very promising in the future.” Zhang Xiao poked Zhou Jing’s kidney and said excitedly.

From this, he saw an immeasurable investment value. He felt that his choice to emigrate was correct.

Although there were not many people now and the market was relatively small, the Interstellar Government’s fertility welfare system was created to solve this problem of increasing the population. The future was promising!

Even if he had to stay in the Supers Academy for a year or two, there would still be a lot of opportunities after he came out.

It was unlike Silver Wind Planet, where employment was difficult, and jobs were scarce. There was intense competition everywhere… This was also a disadvantage of incentivizing the population to quickly grow. It could quickly transition into early development, but after it was formed, it would quickly become an internal problem.

Silver Wind Planet had only been developed for about 200 years. Some of the older planets had even more terrifying problems… Of course, the “Venomous Gu” that they raised through this process was also more ferocious.

In comparison, the Planet Aquamarine was simply heaven.

There was still more than a month before they set off. All the immigrants in his class had the hope of entering a new environment and starting a new life.

Zhou Jing was also overwhelmed with emotions as he memorized the information about the new planet.

...

In the next few days, Zhou Jing and the other two accompanied Zhang Xiao to the Supers Bureau for observation. At the same time, they attended the pre-immigration training class every day.

Because Li Xiaoyin had an extroverted personality and many of her fellow villagers deliberately tried to curry favor with her, she quickly became familiar with her fellow classmates.

Zhou Jing and the other two had benefited from her and became familiar with their classmates as well.

Zhou Jing was also silently observing these future “classmates.”

Other than Zhao He and Huang Wei, who had Class A potential, he was more concerned about two other people—a ten-year-old child named Shi Qing and a young man named Wang Cheng.

Shi Qing was still a child. He was timid, introverted, and shy. He was unwilling to leave his hometown, but his parents were determined to bring him along to emigrate and seek opportunities.

Under the request of his parents, his assistant spot was also given to his father, Shi Chenhai. To the outside world, his father was the one in charge of socializing, akin to being his manager.

Zhou Jing and the other three didn’t like the slick and sociable Shi Chenhai. Instead, they liked to tease Shi Qing. Among the group of adults, there was only this cute child. Everyone treated him as a group pet.

The other person he paid attention to, Wang Cheng, was silent and basically did not participate in socializing. He ignored Li Xiaoyin, Zhao He, and Huang Wei. He was also a new Awakened with Class B potential and was quite a loner.

When Li Xiaoyin went over to chat out of curiosity, Wang Cheng replied in a cold and indifferent way. This made the usually talkative Li Xiaoyin freeze. Only then did Zhou Jing notice him.

Other than these few people, there was nothing special about the other people for the time being. Zhou Jing only remembered these few pieces of information.

… There was no choice. Li Xiaoyin lacked the scheming gene and was too careless. Therefore, she could only leave the job of examining others to him, her “assistant.”

As for Xu Lingyun and Zhang Xiao, they had been completely immersed in a “Loser vs Loser” fighting match these few days and could not be counted on at all.

Previously, Xu Lingyun did not have a suitable training partner. If he looked for Zhou Jing, he would be tortured. If he looked for Li Xiaoyin, he would be sent to heaven.

Now that Zhang Xiao had been genetically enhanced, the two of them immediately looked at each other— Finally, a worthy opponent!

Both of their standards were about the same, so they were the best training targets.

In the past few days, whenever the two of them were free, they would stay in the training room and wrestle. Zhou Jing watched at first, but later on, he felt that it was disgusting, so he didn’t anymore.

Soon, three days passed in a flash. Zhang Xiao finally passed the observation period and was allowed to leave the Supernatural Bureau. The immigration procedures for the four of them were also completed by the Supers Bureau. There were no twists and turns, as they respected their wishes.

With the Supers Bureau handling it, the process was much simpler. As long as they gathered at the West Sea City’s Super Branch at the appointed time, they could all take a vehicle and head to the immigration spacecraft together.

After leaving the Supers Bureau, the four of them gathered for a meal before temporarily dispersing and returning to their respective homes.

...

After returning to the rented apartment, Zhou Jing changed into casual clothes and sat by the bed to check the interface.

In the past three days, he did not travel frequently. He mainly placed Jason in the Imperial Hunter Base to slowly develop.

About three months passed in the Mutant World. Jason’s life was calm and peaceful. He established himself in the Imperial Hunter community, completed a few courses, mastered three new Hunter Breathing Techniques, and began to learn other things. His progress was not bad.

“Jason is on the right track. I’ll just let him develop. After I practice a few more breathing techniques and after a certain interval, I’ll enhance him once again depending on the situation… In the meantime, I’ve saved up a lot of Astral Points. I feel like I can start a new apostle.”

Zhou Jing made up his mind. Seeing that the cooldown time was over, he entered the preparation space.

Swoosh—

His consciousness returned to the space of familiar stars, and a huge interface floated in front of him.

Zhou Jing looked at the new apostle’s characteristics and could not help but blink in confusion.

“Huh??”
