I have an all-knowing mirror

Chapter 95 A Big Shot (4000 words)
In the vast universe, danger and opportunity coexist.

However, danger accounts for the vast majority of the risks.

As for opportunities?

Compared to danger, it is naturally very rare.

It's like finding a needle in a haystack.

But this was not a problem in Su Yuan's eyes.

Through the gray mirror, Su Yuan was able to accurately identify every opportunity and safely avoid all risks.

"pity."

Su Yuan gazed at the vast universe and the countless stars.

But they were willing but unable to do so.

Even though he knew that countless treasures were buried among the stars, he had no ability to retrieve them.

Life forms below level 10 cannot survive for long periods in the harsh cosmic environment, let alone travel millions or tens of millions of light-years to search for treasure.

As for building starships? The efficiency is too slow, even if Su Yuan has the most advanced starship construction blueprints in the entire universe.

However, Earth's industrial infrastructure capabilities are far too low to be replicated. Even the most basic starship would take several years to build.

And yet, with the most basic starships, one can traverse millions or tens of millions of light-years?
Even with the help of the gray mirror, which allowed them to avoid countless risks along the way, the speed was still too slow.

"The Virtual Network of the Cosmic Human Empire"

Su Yuan's expression shifted slightly.

The so-called virtual network of the Cosmic Human Empire is similar to the Blue Star Network.

However, the former covers the entire human empire of the universe.

In the vast universe, the human race has established thirty-six cosmic human empires.

Of these thirty-six cosmic human empires, twenty-three are primary cosmic human empires, ten are intermediate cosmic human empires, and three are advanced cosmic human empires.

The Elementary Universe Human Empire, the Intermediate Universe Human Empire, and the Advanced Universe Human Empire are also ranked from weakest to strongest.

Even the weakest primordial human empire in the universe is still far superior to the Blue Star. Its territory has a diameter of over 800 million light-years, covering 231834 star systems and encompassing countless resource planets, life-bearing planets, and so on.

A wealth of information flashed through Su Yuan's mind. This was all the intelligence he had obtained from questioning the gray mirror, revealing a corner of the mysterious universe.

The human empires of the intermediate universe far surpass the human empires of the primary universe in terms of strength and territory. As for the human empires of the advanced universe, they are the pillars supporting the human race.

Over the long course of time, thirty-three primary and intermediate human empires in the universe have experienced periods of rise and fall.

However, the three advanced human empires in the universe have always existed.

"The virtual network of the Cosmic Human Empire was created to facilitate the human race's rule over its vast territory."

"The Virtual Network of the Cosmic Human Empires covers thirty-six major cosmic human empires. Within its coverage, accessing the virtual network enables instant communication."

"Even if they are separated by tens of millions or hundreds of millions of light-years, it is still the same."

Su Yuan remained calm. It was the existence of the virtual network of the Cosmic Human Empire that made the human race a dominant force in the universe.

By questioning the gray mirror, Su Yuan learned that the virtual network of the Cosmic Human Empire was not just a simple network, but involved a certain set of rules.

Otherwise, they would have been defeated by the powerful alien race long ago.

It should be noted that besides the thirty-six major cosmic human empires, there are many alien forces that covet the virtual network of the cosmic human empires.

"Currently, the territory of Blue Star is located within the territory of the Canglan Empire, a human empire in the middle universe. The Multi-Eyed Clan is a force within the Canglan Empire, and its strongest member is a peak-level star life form."

Su Yuan's thoughts raced.

The Multi-Eyed Clan is the alien force that has set its sights on Blue Star. They rule over 197 inhabited planets and 336 resource planets, and their clan comprises 1,373 extraterrestrial life forms.

"If we could access the virtual network of the Cosmic Human Empire, it would be much more convenient, but..."

Su Yuan shook his head slightly. There are two ways to access the virtual network of the Cosmic Human Empire. One is for a being at the pinnacle of cosmic life to use their immense mental power to detect the fluctuations in the virtual network of the universe and thus gain access.

Of course, this access method requires approval through soul fluctuations; only powerful human beings and those with authorized soul fluctuations can access it.

The second method involves using external aids, such as virtual reality pods, virtual reality headsets, and so on.

However, this type of external object requires a key material that does not exist on Earth.

Even with the 'matter conversion' technology provided by the gray mirror, it would still take six or seven years to forcibly convert this material.

"Take it slow. Once that interstellar colony ship arrives, everything will be ready."

Su Yuan collected his thoughts and looked towards the distant starry sky, where the interstellar colony ship was located.

The arrival of the interstellar colony ships two or three years later would be an unprecedented catastrophe for any life on Earth.

Because along with this came a massacre that swept across the entire planet Earth.

But in Su Yuan's eyes, it was an opportunity, an opportunity that could help him smoothly integrate into the universe.

After familiarizing himself with the strength of a Level 5 life form, Su Yuan landed.

Villa No. 66, Jinshan Villa District, Shanghai.

Su Yuan sat on the living room sofa, lost in thought.

"Xiao Lan, has the villa been cleaned up yet?" Su Yuan asked casually.

"Master, everything has been done as you instructed, and all traces have been erased."

The voice of the AI ​​Xiao Lan immediately rang out.

"Ah."

Su Yuan nodded.

The reason for cleaning up this villa is that Professor Qin has returned to China and will arrive at the villa in twenty minutes.

Professor Qin, 73 years old, is a former professor at Shanghai University, an expert in life sciences, and also a homeowner in the Jinshan villa area.

Just two or three years ago, Professor Qin went to the other side of the ocean because of his son, and only returned to China today.

Professor Qin

Su Yuan's thoughts were in turmoil. Two or three years ago, he impersonated a student of Shanghai University and used the method given by the gray mirror to successfully gain Professor Qing's favor and move into this villa number 66.

For Su Yuan at that time, having a stable, safe, and undisturbed place to live was still very important.

Professor Qin's villa No. 66 was one of the most suitable residences for Su Yuan, as suggested by Gray Mirror.

Now, two or three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Su Yuan has gone from being a young man who would ask the gray mirror several times before doing anything to ensure that he would not leave any flaws.

He rose to become the ruler of the entire planet Earth.

Now, Su Yuan can live anywhere on Earth if he wants—the White House? The Forbidden City? He can move in right now if he wants.

Time

Su Yuan was filled with emotion.

Even though you can see the changes through the gray mirror, you still have many thoughts when you actually experience it.

Nineteen minutes later.

Su Yuan stood up from the sofa and went to the villa gate to wait.

A moment later, the doorbell rang.

Su Yuan didn't need to look at the surveillance footage to know it was Professor Qin.

In fact, Professor Qin has a iris fingerprint authentication for the villa. As the true owner of the villa, Professor Qin could have entered directly.

He only rang the doorbell out of politeness and because he was worried about startling Su Yuan. Su Yuan went forward, opened the door, and saw Professor Qin with his white hair.

Professor Qin looks much older now than he did two or three years ago.

Su Yuan knew that the main reason for this was Professor Qin's son.

Two or three years ago, Professor Qin traveled to the other side of the ocean in an attempt to persuade his son to return to Xia and serve the country.

But the result is obvious: Professor Qin's son works and lives on the other side of the ocean. His work, in particular, is with the Roosevelt Foundation, where his benefits, treatment, and status are considered top-notch on the other side of the ocean.

Most importantly, some jobs can't be quit at will; once a confidentiality agreement is signed, you're not in control of your own life.

"Professor Qin."

Su Yuan greeted Professor Qin immediately upon seeing him.

"Haichuan."

Professor Qin smiled. Even though two or three years had passed, he could still remember Su Yuan's pseudonym, which showed that it left a deep impression on him.

“You haven’t changed much in the past few years, but I have aged a lot.”

Professor Qin looked Su Yuan over a few times, filled with emotion.

Over the past two years, he has tried every possible method to persuade his son, but to no avail. Now, Professor Qin feels disheartened.

Professor Qin eventually came to understand his son, after all, good jobs are not easy to find.

"I've changed a lot too."

Su Yuan told the truth.

Don't be fooled by the fact that your appearance hasn't changed much. Your internal physical structure and so on are no longer the same species as you were two or three years ago.

"Hahaha, people change."

Professor Qin was relieved.

After exchanging a few words, the two went to the living room.

"Haichuan, you've put your heart into this." Professor Qin glanced around and found that everything looked exactly the same as when he left, clearly due to the careful maintenance Su Yuan had done during her stay.

“Professor Qin, I’ve lived here for two and a half years, paying 50,000 yuan a month in rent, which I’ve already transferred to you,” Su Yuan said.

"Never mind, never mind." Professor Qin immediately shook his head.

In fact, when he rented the villa to Su Yuan for 50,000 yuan a month, it was just a token gesture. Now that he sees how well the house is protected, why would he charge rent?
Compared to the rent, Professor Qin valued Su Yuan more as a person.

“This can’t be left unresolved.” Su Yuan shook his head and asked, “Professor Qin, how did things go during your trip abroad?”

"That brat absolutely refuses to come back."

Professor Qin shook his head helplessly: "But that makes sense. Given his situation, forcibly resigning and returning to China would require paying an exorbitant fine and being barred from working in his field for life. The cost is too high."

"I see."

Su Yuan nodded slightly.

In fact, he had already learned about Professor Qin and his son's specific situation from the gray mirror.

"Professor Qin, do you want your son to return to China?" Su Yuan asked casually.

"Let's forget about it." Professor Qin shook his head, deciding not to think about it any further.

Over the past two or three years, he has traveled to many places across the ocean and visited many friends, but to no avail.

The Roscoe Foundation is too domineering in its control over its employees and has deep connections in the local area. Not to mention a Chinese like Professor Qin, even members of parliament and high-ranking officials would not dare to offend the owner of the Roscoe Foundation.

“Okay, your son can return to China tomorrow,” Su Yuan said after thinking for a moment.

Professor Qin's son works for the Rosk Foundation, which was founded by a four-eye level member of the Truth Society. The fate of its employees is entirely up to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan had a good impression of Professor Qin and wouldn't mind offering him some help as long as it didn't affect her own interests.

"Haichuan, this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't even think about getting involved," Professor Qin said, shaking his head.

The Roscoe Foundation is not something he or 'Lin Haichuan' can handle.

The two chatted for a few more minutes.

Su Yuan then got up, said goodbye, and left.

Professor Qin escorted Su Yuan all the way to the door.

Only after Su Yuan disappeared did Professor Qin slap his forehead: "I forgot to ask Hai Chuan where he's doing his master's degree now."

Two or three years have passed. In Professor Qin's eyes, Su Yuan should have graduated with a bachelor's degree by now. Given the talent and learning Su Yuan showed back then, he should definitely continue to pursue a master's degree or even a doctorate.

Just as Professor Qin was considering whether to make a phone call to inquire...

The phone rang again.

"Is it a son?"

Professor Qin glanced at the caller ID and answered the call.

Professor Qin originally thought that his son Qin Lu was calling him at this time to inquire about his safety or something.

As soon as he answered the phone, he heard his son Qin Lu's incredulous voice.

"Dad, who did you call? The foundation's boss just called me personally and asked me to come back to China to be the head of the Great Xia branch."

Qin Lu was utterly shocked.

"What?" Professor Qin was also a little confused.

Qin Lu, the son, is just a low-level employee at the Rosk Foundation. To send him to another city as a manager? That's a lucrative position; countless people are eyeing it.

After all, being a high-ranking official in charge of a region is very prestigious, with both status and wealth.

But now.

This is a lucrative job.

So it fell on his own son's shoulders?

"I didn't."

Professor Qin was about to say that he hadn't contacted anyone, but then he remembered his conversation with Su Yuan, and the latter's words, "Your son can return to China tomorrow."

At the time, Professor Qin thought Su Yuan was joking and didn't take it seriously.

But the phone call from his son that followed, and the content of that call, made it hard for Professor Qin not to think in that direction.

"This is unbelievable! I've never seen my boss talk to me like that before," Qin Lu, the son, exclaimed in amazement.

The owner of the Roosevelt Foundation is known for his iron-fisted and ruthless nature; countless employees have been so berated by him that they couldn't lift their heads for months.

But just now, the boss's tone on the phone was so 'gentle,' and he even arranged everything for him over the phone, including booking his plane ticket for tonight.

In addition, many benefits for them after arriving in Daxia were also arranged, which was extremely thoughtful.

"What kind of person do you think would make your boss do that?"

Professor Qin remained silent for a moment, then couldn't help but ask.

“He must be a big shot,” Qin Lu, the son, rolled his eyes. “At least in our country, he’s an absolute big shot, maybe in the top fifty? Or even the top twenty!”

Qin Lu, the son, had once seen footage of the foundation owner talking to a local state legislator. The former's attitude towards the latter was just so-so, not as good as it had been towards him earlier.

"A big shot."

Professor Qin's mind was filled with the scene of his conversation with Su Yuan, and he was unable to calm down for a long time.
