Chapter 9

Those who can open the seventh brain region through cultivation alone are already one in ten thousand, and Brian Carter not only opened the seventh brain region but also reached the Starlight Beginner level at the same time—this is simply genius.

You have to understand, opening the seventh brain region and cultivating to the Starlight level are two completely different concepts.

Many people, although they have opened the seventh brain region, spend their whole lives unable to reach the level of cultivation.

The three of Brodie Scott were full of praise for Brian Carter. Just then, Brian Carter suddenly heard someone secretly say, “Idiot!”

Brian Carter frowned and looked around. Apart from Brodie Scott, Benjamin Clark, and the lady with glasses, there was no one else here.

Who is cursing at me?

Chapter 0004 Starlight Beginner

Brian Carter sat leisurely on the top floor of the Earth Federation A-Class Citizen Administration, sipping coffee.

This was Brodie Scott’s director’s office. Brian Carter was waiting for headquarters to verify his status and for his certificate.

Just thinking about becoming a respected A-Class citizen and receiving a reward of 100,000 Federation credits made Brian Carter feel a bit proud.

“Mr. Brian Carter, sorry to keep you waiting.” Brodie Scott walked in quickly.

“This is your A-Class citizen passport. It already states that your level is Starlight Beginner. With this, you are a formally recognized citizen of the Pan-Human Alliance of the universe, and you can travel to every corner of the cosmos.” As Brodie Scott spoke, he placed a green passport on the table.

In fact, there is a big difference between ability users with a level and ordinary A-Class citizens. Even if ordinary A-Class citizens have enough money to travel to other planets, they will still be turned away. As for ordinary people, they shouldn’t even think about it.

“What? You haven’t even opened the seventh brain region? Space is so dangerous, you’d better hurry home.”

Brian Carter picked up the passport and examined it. The large golden letter “A” on it was very eye-catching—this was a symbol of status.

“Director Brodie Scott, I remember there’s supposed to be a special reward for A-Class citizens.” Brian Carter asked tentatively.

To him, a cash prize of 100,000 was a huge sum. In all his life, Brian Carter had never seen a six-figure amount of money.

“Heh, I’m really sorry. The special prize is only given to the first ten thousand applicants. You are number ten thousand and one, so…” Brodie Scott spread his hands, looking rather helpless.

“Damn!” Brian Carter almost fainted from anger. This was just too ridiculous—the first ten thousand get a reward, and he just happened to be number ten thousand and one.

Seeing Brian Carter’s disappointment, Brodie Scott added, “But we do have a reward for those who reach the Starlight level.”

Brian Carter’s eyes lit up, and he perked up to listen to Brodie Scott continue.

“The first ten thousand citizens to reach the Starlight level can receive a reward of 200,000 Federation credits. What’s your account number? I’ll have someone transfer it to you right away.”

“Two hundred thousand!” Brian Carter was overjoyed. “Here’s my bank card.”

Brian Carter took out the bank card he had prepared and handed it to Brodie Scott. Very soon, the balance changed from zero to two hundred thousand.

Director Brodie Scott personally escorted Brian Carter out of the office. “Keep working hard, young man. If you reach Starlight Intermediate, there will be another reward.”

In the lobby, the agents of those super corporations were still waiting anxiously. Benjamin Clark arranged a meeting room so that Brian Carter could negotiate with these companies in peace.

After hearing that Brian Carter had reached the Starlight Beginner level, these companies became extremely excited, and the contracts they offered became more and more generous.

The string of zeros on those contracts was enough to make anyone dizzy.

“Gentlemen, I still don’t understand why you are all so eager to have me work for your companies?” Brian Carter asked. “You know, my ability is speed. I don’t think that would be of much help to you.”

Benjamin Clark, who had been watching from the side, chuckled. “This is a new era. The sudden emergence of alien technology has left Earth’s businesses in shock. The Pan-Human Alliance is a world where strength is respected. Only citizens who have reached the Starlight Beginner level are qualified to visit other planets.”

Brian Carter thought for a moment, then smiled and said, “I get it. The reason they want me to join their companies isn’t because they value my ability, but because they want me to be their company’s representative, so they can use me to negotiate and cooperate with aliens.”

Benjamin Clark nodded subtly.

Although the representatives of the super corporations didn’t admit it, their eyes clearly confirmed this.

“Personally, I don’t mind acting as a business representative and running errands for you all, but I’m not in a hurry to decide right now. I’ve just been through a lot and plan to rest for a few days. Here’s my email address—send your contracts to my inbox, and after I’ve taken care of some things, I’ll get in touch with you.”

After saying this, Brian Carter wrote down his email address on a piece of paper, and the business representatives scrambled to copy it into their notebooks.

“Let’s go, I’ll see you out,” Benjamin Clark said.
