Chapter 92.2 (Extra 1)
Editor: Jodi
The Bai Group Energy Company became a household name across the Empire, and hundreds of energy masters and stone gambling masters came to apply, including many at intermediate and advanced levels.
Especially those from humble beginnings—they’d had enough of the aristocratic families’ disdain and exploitative contracts. As soon as their agreements expired, they flocked to the Bai Group Energy Company.
Bai Jing selected over twenty individuals who were hardworking, reliable, and deeply passionate about their craft carefully. Because only those with pure dedication and love for their work could sustain their enthusiasm day after day, and he was committed to giving them the resources they needed to thrive.
The Bai Group Energy Company’s growth skyrocketed, and with Bai Jing’s reputation and the Gu Conglomerate’s backing, the company’s fame soared.
A year later, the Bai Group Energy Company boasted: one grand master-level energy master (Bai Jing), three advanced-level masters, twenty-four intermediate-level masters, and twelve junior-level masters.
They also had one Divine Stone Gambler Master (Bai Jing), two advanced-level masters, and five intermediate-level ones.
Over 70% of their staff were intermediate-level or above in both stone gambling and energy extraction!
This was something no other energy company could come close to achieving.
And the most shocking part, was that no matter how many starcoins or perks were offered, the Bai Group Energy Company’s people couldn’t be poached. This left the rival aristocratic families stomping their feet in frustration.
At the same price, the Bai Group Energy Company’s energy fluid was purer and had fewer impurities, so of course, people chose the Bai Group Energy Company!
And for some reason, the Bai Group Energy Company’s masters seemed to have endless mental power. Their monthly output was insane—one master could do the work of five!
It was unbelievable.
Now, almost all of the Gu Conglomerate’s energy came from the Bai Group Energy Company. Even the military had formed a deep partnership with them. Energy fluids of Grade 7 and above—especially Grade 9—were completely monopolized by the Bai Group Energy Company. You couldn’t get your hands on them even if you tried!
Some people even thought of sabotaging the Bai Group Energy Company, but with the Empire’s top family, the Gu Conglomerate, backing them, the military offering protection, and even the Imperial Family praising Bai Jing openly, any plans to act against them were crushed before they even began.
All they could do was watch as the Bai Group Energy Company grew bigger and stronger. Ten years later, the Bai Group officially replaced the Yuan family as the Empire’s fifth great family!
From then on, the line between commoners and aristocratic families became even blurrier. The Bai Group, the Empire’s fifth great family, was proudly known as the ‘Commoner Family’.
On Bai Jing’s 20th birthday, he was dragged to the marriage registration office first thing in the morning by a certain man.
In the interstellar era, almost everything could be done online, but marriage registration required both parties to be physically present.
The staff members were clearly cp fans, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Bai Jing and Gu Yuanzhao, occasionally covering their mouth to suppress giggles.
As soon as Young Master Gu’s wish was fulfilled, he shared their marriage certificate on Starnet immediately.
[Major General Gu Yuanzhao: “I’ve waited 586 days, and today it has finally happened! I’ll love Ah Jing forever, and Ah Jing will always be mine. @Stone Gambling Master Bai Jing.]
As soon as this post went live, Starnet exploded, and countless fans of the couple declared their lives complete.
[Wuwuwu, my ‘Zhaoyun CP’ is married!]
[I’ve been shipping this couple for a year and a half, and today they finally made it official.]
[Congrats to God Yun and Young Master Gu!]
[Aaaaah, I’m crying tears of joy!!]
[I have to celebrate today. I’m so happy!]
Some fans noticed something unusual.
[If I’m not mistaken, today happens to be God Yun’s 20th birthday. Lights a cigarette.]
[He just hit the marriage age and already went to register. Aww, this is so sweet, so, so sweet—]
[Heh, this old man sure is in a hurry.]
[Look at that last line: ‘Ah Jing will always belong to me.’ Could he make his claim any more obvious? Rolls eyes.jpg]
[Sisters, check the time Young Master Gu posted his message—9:20 AM. The marriage office opens at 9. Think about it. Really think about it.]
[!!! Just how impatient is he?!]
The corners of Gu Yuanzhao’s lips couldn’t help but rise as he read the messages.
That’s right, he was that impatient. He wanted the entire Empire to know that Bai Jing was his and his alone.
Bai Jing didn’t like elaborate weddings, so the handsome, mature man, leaning close to the delicate-featured teenager, kissed the fingers adorned with his ring gently, his gaze tender as he said, “Ah Jing, let’s go on vacation—just the two of us.”
Bai Jing: “Okay.”
Gu Yuanzhao had already taken care of all his responsibilities, applying for a two-month leave from the military, and Bai Jing’s energy company was also running smoothly, so they both had plenty of time.
The two boarded a private spaceship and traveled to various planets.
They went to the best spots to watch meteor showers, to the poles to see auroras, through wormholes to witness supernova explosions, to ice fields, tropical islands, and even deserted planets.
It was a vast and magnificent universe, filled with sights Bai Jing had never seen before.
And while passing through a wormhole, Bai Jing seemed to catch a glimpse of the zombie-ravaged planet—his homeworld, Earth.
He suddenly wondered, if wormholes could connect two points in space, then why couldn’t they connect to the past?
It seemed that in the interstellar era, wormholes could only connect spaces, not timelines.
However before he could voice his thoughts, a violent tremor struck. Then cosmic radiation surged in an instant, and the last thing he saw before losing consciousness was Gu Yuanzhao holding him tightly in his arms.
