RNP Chapter 1 Prospective Citizens
Chapter 1 Prospective Citizens
The vast and boundless universe, the Jialan Empire.
Among the many subordinate intermediate civilizations of the Liuyun Universe Kingdom, one of the 1008 advanced civilizations of humankind, this is an inconspicuous one.
Moon River Star is designated as X371728 among the more than 10,000 star systems directly controlled by the Jialan Empire.
"Child, you've grown up now, it's time to learn how to cultivate yourself."
A man and a woman, whose appearance was almost indistinguishable from normal humans except for their wine-red eyes, spoke earnestly to their son.
"Now that you've become stronger, you won't be easily bullied anymore, and it'll be easier for you to find a job." The tall, beautiful woman patted his head.
Dressed in all black, with a slightly thin build, white hair, red eyes, and an exquisitely handsome face, the boy lowered his head, seemingly listening obediently, but his mind was racing.
He, Suk, is 16 years old and a time traveler.
I was reincarnated 16 years ago, and I only just woke up to my memories of my past life yesterday.
Because he was knocked unconscious yesterday.
I can still clearly recall the scene. It was an apprentice-level battle that took place in an open-air square. Both sides were about the same age and both were at the ninth level of apprentice. It was a fair one-on-one situation.
His two best friends lost first, and then he went up against all odds, only to lose the most miserably. He was hit on the head by the opponent's telekinetic weapon and knocked unconscious.
If the other party hadn't shown leniency at the last moment out of consideration for planetary laws, his skull, no matter how hard, might have been shattered by that million-kilogram impact.
After all, they are all "prospective citizens," and if they really kill someone, they will be punished by planetary law.
Ordinary people on a typical planet cannot obtain citizenship unless they reach the "planetary level." The prerequisite for obtaining citizenship is that one must reach the "planetary level."
Non-citizens are not protected by the Empire when entering certain planets.
Suk's parents are citizens and residents of this planet; they are both planetary-level beings. Although their child has not yet reached planetary level, he is protected by the status of a "prospective citizen."
Once you reach the planetary level, you can be promoted to a full-fledged employee immediately!
Moon River Star, although it is an insignificant planet among the tens of thousands of star systems and hundreds of millions of planets in the Jialan Empire, probably not even ranking in the top million, and has no important value, it is just an ordinary life-bearing planet. However, it has nearly 10 billion permanent residents, the vast majority of whom are planetary-level.
As long as there are no problems, the descendants of the planet's inhabitants can generally cultivate to the planetary level.
It will take a few years, a dozen years, or even several decades for some to complete.
The cultivation civilization here is very prosperous, and resources are abundant. Ordinary citizens mostly drink low-level cultivation resources like "Purple Light Dew" as beverages.
So even though Su Ke's aptitude wasn't great, he still managed to reach the ninth level of apprenticeship at the age of 16!
This is considered normal among people of the same age on the planet.
However, leaping from the apprentice level to the planetary level is a leap in life, which is a bit troublesome. It requires a longer period of accumulation and even the cultivation of some breakthrough methods. If that doesn't work, if you have money, you can spend some resources to help you break through.
Like Mu Ya Jing, if a ninth-level apprentice takes one bite, no matter how useless they are, they will break through 100%.
However, the Muya Crystal is a luxury item, and its price is too high for Su Ke's family. They couldn't afford to buy even one, even if they sold everything they owned.
The price of a single Wood Crystal could buy countless planetary-level slaves!
Suk's family was only at the bottom of the social ladder, barely making ends meet. A single Wood Crystal was something his parents couldn't afford even if they worked hard for a thousand years until they died.
In conclusion, breaking through to the planetary level is not difficult for most people.
"From now on, don't provoke An Tai and his group anymore. And your two best friends, you better behave yourselves and don't fight with others so easily. You're still children. The most important thing for you now is to focus on your cultivation." Su Ke's father, Su Kai, a tall and burly white-haired man wearing a black uniform from a spaceship company, looked down at his young child and spoke in a deep voice.
He was furious that his only son had been beaten like this.
After learning about what happened, he was even more terrified, fearing that if anything went wrong, his son would be gone.
But he couldn't get justice for his child; the other party only offered some compensation and didn't even apologize.
From the perspective of planetary law, this is not a big deal. Since both parties voluntarily engaged in the duel, it is impossible to hold the other party accountable, and in the end, the matter can only be left unresolved.
He was angry, yet helpless. He couldn't afford to offend the other party's background either, as this planet also had a strict hierarchy.
The only saving grace was that his child was unharmed.
"I understand." Suk, who had just regained his memories as a transmigrator, lowered his head obediently.
"Your father and I are leaving on a long trip tomorrow. You should stay home and cultivate yourself well," the mother said with concern.
Father Su Kai and Mother Alice are both of a common race on the planet, with white hair and red eyes. They are of the same race and are both over two hundred years old, which is very young for a planetary planet. They work together at a long-distance trading spaceship company on Moon River Star. Their job is to accompany the spaceship to transport goods to other planets, and it is normal for them not to return for a year or two.
For most of the past, young Suk was raised and cared for by intelligent robots.
The planet Moon River has a total of nine cities, each of which is enormous and houses more than 99% of the planet's inhabitants. However, the truly wealthy people live in huge manors or even castles built outside the cities.
Those without money can only live in cities that appear prosperous but are actually crowded.
A skyscraper with 800 floors that almost reaches into the clouds, with the Suk family's residence on the 578th floor.
"Mom and Dad have gone out." Suk sat at a dining table in the lobby, surrounded by delicious food. His home was actually quite large, nearly 100 square meters.
"I'm going to have to eat alone again," Suk sighed.
In fact, his parents, having reached the planetary level, no longer needed to eat; it was simply a source of enjoyment in their lives.
But Suk himself still needs to eat.
Despite his seemingly thin physique, his movement speed is soaring beyond the limits of a sonic boom, and a single punch from him could destroy a tank on Earth.
A blonde beauty who looks exactly like a human, with the intelligent robot "Lala" dressed in a maid outfit standing beside him, serving him with utmost care.
"Young master, your two masters have instructed me to supervise your cultivation." The blonde beauty smiled, her sapphire blue eyes glowing and projecting a small, luminous screen. "The specific schedule is as follows."
"I understand." Suk did not show any resistance.
Suk's original self was not lazy, but his talent was rather mediocre. His parents are working hard now because they want to give their child a better environment to grow up in.
Although he regained his memories from his previous life, his feelings for his parents in this life remained strong and deep.
"I'm going to live a more exciting life this time." Suk clenched his fist, his heart pounding with excitement, and walked towards his private room with the robot by his side, full of dreams.
......
Day and night alternated, and soon it was nighttime on the planet.
"Ugh, I'm so tired."
After a long day of training under the strict supervision of the robot, Suk took a tired shower, changed into his pajamas, and lay down on the soft, airy bed. A three-dimensional environment was automatically generated around him, and the entire room's furnishings disappeared, turning into a vast blue sea, a white sand beach, and fluffy white clouds in the distance. It could even simulate the sea breeze and the smell of the wind blowing over.
And warm sunlight shines down from above.
It felt so good. Suk's whole body relaxed, and he felt like his soul was floating.
"bite."
"You have an email."
