Residential building 32, Water Moon Estate.
Underground training room.
"Now, there's no sense of oppression."
Rin Haruto sat cross-legged, his eyes deep, and thought to himself.
In the martial arts world, after he entered the Carefree Realm,
he felt an inexplicable pressure.
It was like a whale stranded, feeling uncomfortable all over.
But now, there was no such feeling.
"Is it because of the different world limits?"
Rin Haruto speculated in his heart.
The limit of the martial arts world was clearly much lower than that of the main world.
This could be seen from the huge difference in the flow of time.
Rin Haruto was in the unprecedented Carefree Realm,
which, for the martial arts world, might be nearing its true limit,
and thus he would be suppressed and rejected by the world.
But in the main world… even if it wasn't the starting point,
there was still a long way to go before reaching the true world limit.
At least, as far as Rin Haruto knew, those truly powerful evolutionaries in the Universal Human Alliance
could easily traverse the starry sky with their physical bodies and shatter stars with a flick of their fingers.
In the more than two million years of the Star Sea Era, human civilization was able to emerge from its home planet, sweep away alien races in all directions, and occupy vast and boundless star fields.
In addition to the unified coordination of the three ultimate intelligent goddesses,
extremely powerful individual evolutionaries also made indelible contributions.
After recovering his full strength, Rin Haruto adapted for a while, then connected his consciousness to the virtual world.
In the past few days, while refining the 'Advanced Nutrient Solution',
Rin Haruto would occasionally enter the virtual world to explore.
Canglan Star Virtual World, Living Area.
Rin Haruto's figure appeared on a street.
People passed by from time to time.
On the seats in the corners, a few figures would occasionally gather to chat and talk.
At a glance, there were at least dozens of figures on this living street.
Rin Haruto had long been accustomed to this.
Although ordinary people did not have permission to connect to the virtual world,
Canglan Star had a population base of 50 billion.
Even if one in 500,000 citizens became a second-level citizen, the total number of second-level citizens on Canglan Star would exceed 100,000.
In fact, generally, one in 200,000 to 300,000 people could become a second-level citizen, and the true number of second-level citizens on Canglan Star was already approaching 300,000.
This was just for second-level citizens; evolutionaries also had permission to connect to the virtual world.
And the number of evolutionaries was far greater than the number of second-level citizens.
After all, there were many ways to become an evolutionary: normal, abnormal, mutated, inherited, and so on.
Of course, the large number of evolutionaries was relative to second-level citizens.
Compared to normal citizens, evolutionaries were still extremely rare, with an average of one in several thousand people.
Rin Haruto casually walked into a bar in the living area, sat in a corner, and ordered a mixed drink.
"This sensation…"
Rin Haruto took a sip, his expression slightly amazed.
If he hadn't clearly perceived his physical body outside, Rin Haruto would have almost thought he had come to the real world.
"No wonder the Goddess of Wisdom restricts access to the virtual world."
"Such clear sensory simulation must be built on giant servers, and if everyone could connect, the cost would be terrifyingly high…"
Rin Haruto sat in the bar for a while, then exited the virtual world.
"Since my strength has recovered, I should go to the Evolutionary Association as soon as possible, register, and get my evolutionary certificate."
The Universal Human Alliance has extremely strict control over evolutionaries; even unranked evolutionaries must register as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Rin Haruto immediately contacted the Evolutionary Association in his city and booked an appointment for registration tomorrow.
For official organizations like the Evolutionary Association, it was best to make an appointment in advance.
The next day.
Rin Haruto went home.
In the past few days, Rin Haruto had not stayed at home, using the excuse that he had become an evolutionary and needed to undergo training at an official institution.
At the dinner table, his mother, Lu Qiong, seemed to remember something and said, "Rin, didn't you become an evolutionary? Old Lin loves to show off, so he told everyone in the family chat group."
"Several relatives heard about it and wanted to hold a family dinner for everyone to gather, celebrate, and see you."
"That family chat group…"
Rin Haruto glanced at his father, Rin Shoucheng.
In the interstellar era, the concept of clans had long faded, but human relationships still existed.
Rin Haruto becoming an evolutionary was a big deal, a class-crossing event, far more reliable than getting into some prestigious university.
Getting into a prestigious university didn't mean you would definitely make a name for yourself; millions of students graduated from prestigious universities every year, but how many of them actually found satisfactory jobs?
But an evolutionary was different; even an unranked evolutionary would be eagerly sought after by many companies and financial groups with high salaries.
If, by chance, he became a ranked evolutionary in the future, it would be like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
Originally, Rin Haruto's family was just an ordinary one, holding an insignificant position among relatives, but now that Rin Haruto had become an evolutionary, everything was different.
No one could guarantee that they wouldn't need Rin Haruto, this evolutionary, in the future.
Sometimes, asking for help wasn't embarrassing; what was embarrassing was not even being able to find someone to ask.
"Uncle Nian helped me before, and he wants everyone to get together. I couldn't refuse…"
Father Rin Shoucheng smiled bitterly.
He had only boasted a few words in the group, never expecting someone to actually step forward.
"It's fine, I'll be there for the family dinner."
Rin Haruto knew what his parents meant; they were simply worried that he would be busy and unable to attend.
If Rin Haruto, the main character, wasn't there, what would be the point of holding the family dinner?
"Family dinner?"
"What family dinner?"
"Will there be good food?"
His younger sister, Rin Yi, immediately perked up, her big eyes blinking as she asked.
After dinner, he left home.
Rin Haruto planned to go to the Evolutionary Association to get his certificate.
He hadn't walked far when Rin Haruto received a call.
"May I speak with Mr. Rin Haruto?"
A female voice on the other end of the phone asked cautiously.
"This is he."
Rin Haruto nodded.
"This is the Evolutionary Association. Mr. Rin Haruto applied to register today yesterday…"
"At the time, we weren't aware that Mr. Rin Haruto was a second-level citizen, so we didn't explain clearly. According to the association's regulations, any second-level citizen coming for business needs to be personally picked up."
The female voice on the other end of the phone was almost in tears.
The second-level citizens in Dongning City were few, and they all knew the president of the Evolutionary Association, so they would directly go through the president for their affairs.
As a small employee, she had never dealt with any second-level citizens.
Yesterday, when she received Rin Haruto's application, she was busy with other things and didn't pay much attention. It wasn't until she entered Rin Haruto's citizen ID number this morning that she suddenly discovered he was a second-level citizen.
Because of this, her superior even took notice, asking what this second-level citizen needed and to satisfy it as much as possible.
"It's okay."
Rin Haruto shook his head and said.
He hadn't lost anything.
"Then where is Mr. Rin now? I'll immediately send someone to pick you up…"
The female voice on the other end of the phone finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Rin Haruto were to complain about her service attitude, she would undoubtedly be fired the next day, and the reason would be written into her file.
At that point, no enterprise or group would be willing to hire her, as disrespecting a high-level citizen was crossing a line no matter where it happened.
"I'm currently at…"
Rin Haruto hesitated for a moment, then told her his current location.
Having someone pick him up was convenient and would also save him taxi fare.
After hanging up, Rin Haruto casually found a coffee shop by the roadside and waited.
However,
Not long after,
A voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Rin Haruto, why are you here?"
