I Found A Planet

Chapter 444: Staying To Take Care Of Things

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Chen Jin voiced his purpose in a veiled manner.

Interests.

Huge interests.

A proportion of at least 30%... This was a scale of such proportions that one could never abandon it.

Of course, in actual fact, most of the assets included in the 30% were Chen Jin’s personal interests; but he needed people to help protect them.

Especially the portal to the alternate dimension.

Which included the whole universe that the planet of Haierfa resided in.

It was impossible for Chen Jin to give it up; he could not bear to do so.

Therefore, he would not leave Earth... even if all other human beings left and all the remaining occupants were the Protoss, he would still stay here.

The other universe that existed on the other side of the portal was something that he must protect.

It was likely to become his future home.

Surrendering the portal to the Protoss on a silver platter—that was out of the question.

But it was impossible to protect such an important secret by himself. In order to safeguard such a huge interest, he needed someone to provide assistance.

Of course, the people that he could trust in such a capacity were the Chen family members. They were his descendants.

Listening to Chen Jin’s words, the children of the family were very surprised, and they came to a sudden realization at the same time.

His daughter, Chen Xing Yue muttered, “So it’s like that. It’s no wonder that Dad also managed to come up with technologies like the curvature engine a few years ago. He easily provided many advanced technologies that were more than 20 or 30 years ahead of their time. This indicates that Dad has is supported by an extremely powerful technical team behind the scenes. They’ve come close to mastering the ultimate truth of matter, and the value is immeasurable!

“30% of the whole pie—this is indeed very significant. This is equivalent to dozens, even hundreds of high-value galaxies.

“With this, we could even fight with the Protoss on an equal footing, and make them fear the consequences of tangling with us. They would not dare to have any thoughts or make any moves against the Chen family, and they would show their respect and reverence.

“The Chen family has always stood above all the other first-class families, and we’ve always been expanding and getting stronger. The reason is because Dad might still hold some extremely powerful aces up his sleeve.”

No one knew what the actual aces were, or their actual value and specific numbers, but they could not be underestimated.

For example, the “knowledge bank.” All the knowledge of human beings was held within it. The integrity of the content was rumored to be even greater than the government’s very own backup.

In addition, they had Galaxy Era, a virtual game that had been running for nearly a hundred years, with a shockingly long life cycle. Not only had the game become unprofitable in recent times, but they nevertheless invested trillions in the game every year, just to keep it running. This was due to the game’s ridiculously high level of realism. It was said that all the advanced technologies in it could absolutely be put into use.

Infinitely close to reality.

This virtual game definitely contained an infinite amount of value.

There might be interests in other areas in addition to the Knowledge Bank and Galaxy Era, but Chen Xing Yue knew nothing more, and she would never guess it correctly anyway. Unless Chen Jin were to tell her personally, it would forever remain a secret.

But, in any case, they could not give up Earth, and could not abandon their interests on this planet.

Chen Jin immediately stated his request.

“I will silently acknowledge everyone who has come to participate in the family meeting today as the core children of the family. All of you have a certain level of capability.

“Yes, we can leave Earth to go to other galaxies and develop our interests there. All children of the official lineage and a majority of children from the concubine lineages have the right to choose this route of development.

He stretched out his palm. “Fifty people. I need fifty core children of the Chen family to stay on Earth and to defend our foundations here.

“I know that this is a difficult choice. The outside world is infinitely vast. You can randomly choose to develop any galaxy, and you will get endless benefits. Moreover, by leaving Earth, you will enjoy a life of freedom and ease.

“If you stay on the earth, you will face many variables and risks. You will be faced with the challenges imposed by the Protoss. Without sufficient courage, it is a life that will be difficult to endure.

“But I will also stay and work with the family members left behind. Together, we will tackle the heretofore unknown challenges.

“And in terms of interests, the people left behind will receive most of the assets of the family members who choose to leave. The resources under their control will increase by several times. In the later stages of development, even if we are faced with challenges presented by the Protoss, I will still strive to create as many benefits and interests as possible to strengthen our power.

“In short, whether you are staying or leaving, you can still embrace all-new opportunities and challenges.”

However, the opportunities that came with staying on Earth seemed to be smaller and the challenges bigger.

The immediate reaction of the Chen family’s descendants made Chen Jin feel a little sad.

“Honorable Ancestor, you are not leaving with us?”

“Honorable Ancestor, Earth is like a danger zone nowadays. There is no need to stay together to defend our interests.”

“We still need the Honorable Ancestor to lead us beyond the distant stars.”

His daughter, Chen Xing Yue, looked at him and said, “Dad, come with us. You are the backbone, The clan can’t be without you.”

Most of the children from the official lineage were worrying about his safety.

In fact, they had also spelled out their own attitude—all of them wanted to leave.

Those children from the concubine lineages who possessed only small amounts of resources did not immediately express their stance. But they nervously watched the children from the official lineage, and their expressions revealed their desire to ride on their coattails.

Chen Jin was a little irritated. He stood up and said, “Enough. I’ve seen and understood your filial piety. As for who is going to stay and who is going to leave, discuss among yourselves and make a decision. Fifty people—I just need fifty people to stay with me. Give me the list of fifty people in two hours!”

If there were no volunteers, then they could only be assigned to it. He would let them decide who should stay.

He strode out of the meeting room after giving his instructions.

...

More than two hours later, a list appeared in Chen Jin’s hands.

They successfully announced the fifty of the core children from the Chen family who had been arranged to stay on Earth to protect their interests.

Chen Jin quickly scanned the list.

Among the 50 people, there was only one from his official lineage. The remaining 49 were the children of his concubine lineages.

He did not know whether they chose to stay of their own free will or not, but most of them were probably unwilling... Chen Jin would not concern himself about the details, as long as there were people who stayed to help him.

“It is possible that the majority of those on the list may be pawns who have been abandoned. I estimate that there will not be many who are truly capable. Ah, moving toward what will be advantageous and beneficial while avoiding what is dangerous or risky—this kind of idealistic thinking is part of human nature. I can’t really say anything about this.”

However, for the next two days, Chen Jin heard plenty of remonstrations.

Most of them hoped that he would leave with them.

“Honorable Ancestor, the number of human beings living on the earth is now less than 3 billion. Most of them have emigrated. In the future, their remaining numbers may be reduced to less than 1 billion. They will be relegated to a minority group. This is very dangerous. You should not take this risk.”

“Leaving a few dozen of your descendants is more than enough. You are not young. If something goes wrong, the clan will be destabilized.”

“Let’s leave together, Honorable Ancestor!”

The above exhortations did not affect Chen Jin.

His wife, Su Yun, and their daughters Chen Xing Yue and Chen Xiao Yue also pleaded with him, hoping that he would sail with them to other planets on the same spaceship.

Faced with their beseeching expressions, Chen Jin still shook his head. “Although there may be another thousand or ten thousand years left in my lifespan, my roots are here, and I can’t go. If you really can’t bear to part, you can stay with me. If you want to make the same request of me that many others have done, then I can only apologize. I really can’t leave this place.”

Su Yun’s mouth opened and closed. Her words were all choked up.

However, she simply could not say that she wanted to stay together with him on Earth.

She could only gather tears in her eyes and glare at him harshly. “You heartless thing!”

...

After a while, the immigration activities of the Chen family began, one after another.

Interstellar spacecraft went back and forth.

The Chen family’s resources and clan members left the Earth with a trace of sadness and reluctance as they embarked into the deep unknown of the starry sky.

Gone.

One by one, they had all left.

In the end, only a small framework of the huge Chen family remained. They still stayed on Earth, with its upheavals, to take care of their interests.

The atmosphere gradually became cold and cheerless.

Even Chen Jin wavered slightly—was it necessary to stay?

In truth, after the Revival of the Magical Powers, the universe in which Earth resided had entered an era of high energy. The potential of all areas, including the evolution of individuals and the transformation of science and technology, was actually greater than that for their counterparts on Haierfa.

After a maximum of a hundred or two hundred years, Earth would emerge to become an extremely exciting and wonderful world.

There would be countless opportunities and unlimited potential. Earth would definitely be stronger than the universe in which Haierfa was located.

However, leaving Earth was tantamount to abandoning his “golden finger,” and was equivalent to giving up on being bound to Haierfa.

To live in ease, in exchange for everything in his past.

He really could not do it.

Fortunately, on this particular day, when he was a little indecisive and confused—Clack! The door opened. The identity of the old friend who came to visit stunned him.

“Guo Yan?”

He looked at the woman at the door in astonishment. “You didn’t leave with your son? Why are you here? Don’t tell me that you’ve also come to persuade me to leave?”

“No. I am old and I don’t want to leave.” Guo Yan shook her head. Suddenly, she gave an ironic smile and said, “Besides, nearly everyone is gone. From now on, you’ll probably belong to me alone?”

This...

Looking at her charming smile that carried a trace of shyness...

Even if years had passed...

Even if the memories of the past had been blurred...

At this very moment, Chen Jin was so touched that he could not speak.

At this moment, he even believed that so-called “love” existed, just a little.

Because true love was not vows of undying devotion. It was to live an ordinary, carefree life with your lover and to silently grow old together.

Chen Jin opened his arms. With a wide smile, he said, “Welcome.”

And so, he had another permanent mistress of the house in his covert villa.

...

Two years later.

The number of Protoss on Earth had increased from one billion-plus to nearly 15 billion, occupying 90% of the living space.

The number of human beings had plummeted from about 3 billion to less than 1 billion.

On Earth, human beings—the original masters—had been reduced to a minority group.

Only half of the two billion people who had been lost in the past two years emigrated via the interstellar spaceships. The other half, a population of one billion, were burned to ashes by the furious Protoss, who attacked in the form of a terrible storm.

One billion human beings had died under the butchery of the Protoss.

It could be described as extremely tragic and brutal. It was enough to sentence countless Protoss with “crimes against humanity.”

However, there are very few reports about the incident in the social media of the human world, which seemed unduly reticent about it.

Chen Jin and his descendants who stayed on Earth found out about some insider information, but they did not plan to reveal the truth.

“In any case, it’s good that no one from the Chen family died in this massacre. On the contrary, I didn’t think that a simple “rape attack” assault would lead to the deaths of everyone of African heritage and the purge and banishment of many white people. As for the religious who were too poor to afford tickets to the ship, they’ve all been sent to heaven.

“Tsk, the Protoss are actually so decisive in their killings.”

There were two reasons why the remaining one billion were permitted to stay. In some regards, the Protoss did not dare to carry out the evil that such a massive culling would entail. Furthermore, most of the people left were yellow-skinned with black hair; In terms of appearance, they were 70% to 80% similar to the Protoss. The Protoss did not want to destroy people from a race they saw as similar to them. Hence, they did not make any brutal moves against them.

Chen Jin, his thousands of descendants, and the tens of millions of Z country citizens were not harmed because they were similar to the Protoss in many respects. Not only that, but they also received better treatment from the Protoss.

In particular, the Chen family were honored guests of the Protoss. They had maintained an extremely close cooperation with them for the past two years.

They were highly valued by the Protoss and were key partners.

The reason was very simple.

One was technology. The most advanced tech of the human world was controlled by the Chen family. There were many technologies that the Protoss had not yet mastered or had not thoroughly explored. Their technological standards in most fields still lagged behind those of the humans by at least 30 years.

Humans technology was the best when it came to many core components, such as chips, engines, and the like. The humans had a greater cumulative advantage.

Hence, there was a need for trade.

The Chen family had plenty of high-tech factories and advanced equipment here on Earth. Even if just for the sake of saving transportation costs, the Protoss were willing to go to the Chen family and sign purchase orders with them.

The second reason was content.

In particular, content produced in the cultural industry. The Chen family was practically the best producer of content and spiritual food.

For example, in the areas of TV dramas, movies, and animations, the Chen family’s Xing Hai Entertainment company accounted for more than 60% of the market share in the Protoss consumer market.

Seven out of ten blockbuster films specially created for the Protoss were produced by Xing Hai Entertainment.

Five to six out of every ten professional and well-known Protoss celebrities were signed with Xing Hai Entertainment.

In addition, when it came to the gaming industry seven or eight out of every ten popular games were developed by the Xing Hai Game company. These games had billions of Protoss players.

Of particular importance was the revised version of the online virtual game now called Galaxy Era 2.0. After the revision, the game was able to increase one’s level of understanding and perception in spiritual cultivation. Thus, it attracted more than 800 million Protoss players... With the participation of these players, the backend servers of Galaxy Era had figured out countless exercises and skills that could be employed in spiritual cultivation.

So long as some Protoss became addicted to the game, practically all of the spiritual cultivation exercises that were regarded by the Protoss as “top secret” landed in Nuwa’s backend database.

Hence, Chen Jin felt as if he had agreed to war.

The war was to rob them of the “brain” that gave birth to wisdom and intelligence. As long as he could take over the minds of the Protoss for himself, he could obtain that precious mental and spiritual wealth at will.

Therefore, in addition to their involvement in the industrial technology field for the two years, the Chen family’s descendants who had stayed behind also put their main energy into activity for the production of high-quality spiritual food.

Chen Jin also passed on the spiritual cultivation exercises and methods that they had collected through the quantum communicator so that the rest of the Chen family who had gone to other galaxies could develop them.

In this way, a large number of high-quality spiritual cultivation exercises and methods were used by descendants of the Chen family in other galaxies.
