In Medicine King Valley, Gu Ding and Anthony had a very smooth conversation.

Anthony’s request was simple. The Newcomer’s Ranking Competition would start in three months. If Gu Ding got into the top fifty in the competition, the Hermean Alliance of Skyriver’s division would issue a prize worth one hundred million Star Credits. If he could get into the top ten, the prize would be raised to be worth one billion Star Credits.

Naturally, Gu Ding would not refuse a win-win situation like this. Even if he could not make the top 50, it would make no difference to him. After all, all he needed to do was to wear a tag with Skyriver Sector’s name on it when he participated in the competition that he already planned to join. Therefore, both sides were able to reach a consensus quickly.

After he finished the discussion with Anthony, Gu Ding strolled around a bit. Little did he know, he had managed to gather a large crowd because of his video that had been broadcasted in the public district. Naturally, the pharmacologists and temporary residents in Medicine King Valley knew of him; Even people who have never entered Medicine King Valley before were aware of him.

Out of desperation, Gu Ding had no choice but to log out of the system.

As he sat in the cockpit and stared out the window at the endless abyss of space, Gu Ding asked, “Neptune, any news today?”

“No major events,” Neptune also seemed a little bored. “I just received the news that Cain also changed course. This time, he’s returning to the Cosmic Sea. Kohld Blood’s Punishers are also said to be rushing toward a new course. The opening of new routes has the Interstellar Pirates from Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation all excited, many of whom who were initially on their way to other cosmic nations now changing courses to head to the new route.”

3“I think it’s good that it’s going to get lively soon,” Gu Ding grinned. He was the type of person that liked to be amongst the crowd. He really enjoyed working in Rose Tavern for all those years, with one of the main reasons being that he could meet all sorts of people. The stories he heard were the things that gave birth to his idea of being an Interstellar Pirate.

1When he thought about Cain and Kohld Blood, Gu Ding realized that these guys who had hundreds of millions of Star Credits worth of bounty on their head were super strong and valiant. He had seen how Cain fought. His movements were so quick that his naked eyes were not able to see it. Kohld Blood’s bounty was close to Cain’s, and so was his strength.

“You really need to improve your strength quickly. If you enter the new route at your current level, you’ll be eaten alive,” Neptune gave his opinions without holding back.

“I understand. It’s a new route, so there’ll be many powerhouses as strong as Uncle Cain. Perhaps even stronger,” Gu Ding nodded. He chose to take the new route not because he was naive and did not know any better. In truth, he did not overestimate his strength. He was well aware of what he could and could not do.

1“Connect me to the Virtual Arena! First, I’ll practice all the moves that can be learned with 100 points of Cell Index. That way, when my body strength is enough, I’ll be able to use the moves the moment I’m familiar with them. It’ll save me a lot of time practicing the moves,” Gu Ding planned to enter the Virtual Arena to continue his practice of the Ultimate Arts.

“This is just a temporary solution. However, it seems that this is the only way for now,” Neptune could not do much about Gu Ding’s stats and immediately connected Gu Ding to the arena.

After Gu Ding entered the arena, he saw his latest information:
