Cosmic Professional Gladiator Chapter 341

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Xu Jingming picked up the call.

“Old Zhang, you should know that the company hasn't been able to launch its games and has a headcount of 200 to 300… The company has been burning cash, but there's no income! The company really can't keep it up anymore! Although I'm sorry, the boss has decided to close the company…” His superior's call brought him bad news.

Xu Jingming was stunned.

His investments had failed, and he was about to lose his job? This was Zhang Lei's life predicament?

Bam. 

Suddenly, his wife rushed out.

“What's wrong?” He gazed at his wife.

“Quick! My father got sent to the ER and needs immediate surgery. The surgery costs 80,000 yuan!” His wife was so anxious that her eyes were red. “Bring the cash! Let's go to the hospital now.”

Xu Jingming was stunned.

“You don't have money?” his wife immediately said. “Think of a way to raise the money first. You can pay it back when our endowment plan matures.”

The financial product was a failure, so how could he pay it back?

The mortgage for this month alone was more than 10,000! His job was also gone!

Xu Jingming didn't dare say a word and immediately rushed out with his wife.

Whoosh.

An illusory text finally appeared in the air in front of Xu Jingming—

First Step's Life Crisis:

Clearance Requirements: Solve the crisis Zhang Lei is facing, have Zhang Lei's family live in harmony, and possess ten million in assets within a year (martial arts are prohibited)

Xu Jingming didn't have a good solution when martial arts were prohibited.

He first pooled the money with his wife for the surgery. However, his father-in-law was hospitalized, and the hospital's fees were like a bottomless pit—it cost thousands a day! It left Zhang Lei and his wife stifled.

His wife also learned that he had lost his job. Xu Jingming tried to find a job, but it was difficult for him to find a new one on short notice.

His wife could only work alone.

The pressure on his wife from the medical bills and mortgage increased, and her temper worsened.

When the news of the bank's financial product had failed, his wife couldn't tolerate it any further! She broke down and proposed a divorce.

Once she proposed the divorce, the illusion dissipated!

I failed? Xu Jingming returned to the foot of the black pyramid and opened his personal interface to look at the time. I've been in the mental illusion for half a month, but only an hour has passed in reality?

With the minds and consciousness of cosmic lifeforms, they could easily withstand time acceleration that was several hundred times faster than normal. Moreover, while experiencing the life crisis, sleep passed in the blink of an eye.

How can I resolve this crisis if martial arts is prohibited? Xu Jingming also had a headache.

He had practiced martial arts since he was a child and joined the national team in university. His mind was focused on martial arts his entire life!

Now that he was banned from using martial arts, Xu Jingming was a little vexed with the resolution of Zhang Lei's life crisis. Although he had some ideas, he wasn't confident at all in getting Zhang Lei's family to live in harmony and have ten million in assets in just a year.

In the observation space.

After Xu Jingming entered Planet Number Six, Observer Chang naturally paid more attention. After all, the further Xu Jingming went, the more it signified his potential!

As for Xu Jingming, the probability of him joining the 17 top factions was very low. There was a high chance that he would accept Observer Chang's invitation. After all, they were all from the Oohook Star Alliance.

There are 100 kinds of life crises on Planet Number Six that require a high level of mental fortitude. Observer Chang watched. If he can overcome 100 kinds of life crises, then… No matter what kind of predicament he encounters in his life, it's unlikely that he will be defeated!

Only by not being troubled by life crises can one have a chance of becoming a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform, Observer Chang thought.

Of course, it was only a glimmer of hope. The difficulty of reaching Lv. 9 was too high!

Huh? Observer Chang was suddenly stunned. This was because Xu Jingming was expelled from the first step and fell under the pyramid.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

What? He can't even clear the first step? Observer Chang was a little surprised. He glanced at the short fatty beside him—the short fatty wasn't paying attention to Xu Jingming but to some explorers from his homeworld.

Observer Chang frowned slightly as he looked at Xu Jingming at the pyramid's base.

Could it be that this fellow man of mine has very little life experience? Otherwise, this shouldn't happen. Of the hundreds of life crises, the first step is only the beginning! It's only at the end that you can call it despair and horror. Observer Chang was puzzled.

Yes, Xu Jingming was only 31 years old! Compared to those cosmic lifeforms who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years, he had much less life experience. Moreover, he had never undergone training like experiencing life crises.

Xu Jingming temporarily exited the mysterious land and returned to his personal space in the virtual world.

Sitting on the sofa, Xu Jingming drank some water and ruminated.

How do I solve this life crisis? Xu Jingming tapped gently and began searching for information on the virtual world.

Even cosmic citizens encountered all kinds of difficulties in their lives, so Xu Jingming found plenty of similar information!

Solve life crises? This is considered humanities? Xu Jingming was stunned.

Humanities? Xu Jingming's heart stirred.

In the universe, educational examinations were divided into two categories! The first was science and technology. This was the main category, and there was no upper limit. It didn't stop at Lv. 100; it could even go to Lv. 120 and Lv. 130. For example, the cosmic legend Xu Jingming once learned of, Zhou Wu, had an educational background that exceeded Lv. 150. He was the person with the highest educational background among all humans during that era.

The second was the humanities category. Even if one's educational score in the humanities category was maxed out in theory and practice, it was capped at Lv. 60! However, the humanities category was still very important.

Being a separate category of the two major educational categories… Be it the continuation of civilization or the impact on an individual's life, humanities had a huge impact.

Humanities? A top talent in the humanities is someone who devises strategies and knows how to make predictions, Xu Jingming thought. Earth happens to have such a person. He's also my manager!

Soon—

Pang Ze was invited to Xu Jingming's personal space.

“Mr. Pang, I need your help,” Xu Jingming said.

“What's the matter?” Pang Ze asked. He was naturally willing to do his best to assist the most promising peerless genius on Earth.

“How do you solve a life crisis?” Xu Jingming asked.

“Can you elaborate?” Pang Ze asked.

Xu Jingming was stunned.

How was he to do so?

There was nothing to say! For example, one would encounter all kinds of problems in the first step's life crisis in a year.

“There might be a myriad of life crises,” Xu Jingming said. “What if you want to solve all these life crises?”

“Solve many life crises?” Pang Ze thought for a moment before replying, “I can help think of a solution to one or two of them, but to solve numerous crises? You need to grasp the knowledge yourself.”

“Grasp knowledge?” Xu Jingming asked.

“Humanities encompasses plenty of knowledge,” Pang Ze said. “Solving life's crises is only one of the branches.”

“Mr. Pang, please teach me,” Xu Jingming said. “I hope to master this skill as soon as possible.”

Pang Ze nodded slightly. As an existence that had almost maxed out in the humanities, he naturally knew how to teach the subject.

“These are the three books I think are most worth reading when solving life crises.” Pang Ze quickly bought three books. “Read the three books first! After you're done, I'll send you to the virtual world where you can study for half a month.”

“That's roughly enough. You just need some theory,” Pang Ze said. “Half a month of theoretical study followed by practice! Practice is the most important thing. Many people can theorycraft, but they will still fall into despair when they encounter life crises.”

“How much you can learn and comprehend depends on your potential,” Pang Ze said.

Back then, Pang Ze's learning environment was terrible. Back then, he used Earth's virtual chamber and could only log in for a few hours a day. He didn't have anyone to guide him and had to fumble through his studies. In just a few years, Pang Ze's humanities broke through to Lv. 50, and the Cosmic Human Alliance took the initiative to upgrade him to a cosmic lifeform.

Now, with his outstanding achievements in humanities, he could easily obtain a high income in the virtual world, making him Earth's richest man.

He had taken many wrong paths back then. Now, he could provide Xu Jingming with the fastest path.

“Alright.” Xu Jingming trusted the other party very much. As the two people with the highest achievements on Earth, the two of them had a mission. If Earth wanted to rise to prominence… the two of them naturally had to be united and help each other.

Xu Jingming sat down and immediately began reading the three books, beginning his humanities studies.

After half a month of theoretical study, I'll carry out the subsequent experiments on Planet Number Six, Xu Jingming thought to himself. He still yearned to enter Planet Number Seven.
