"Haha, 100 billion cosmic dollars can buy an undeveloped habitable planet," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "I'm only a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform after all. Although I'm talented, I know my limits… Nobody is willing to give me 100 billion cosmic dollars."

"We are." Captain Ennor stared at Xu Jingming.

"That's because the Redmond Medal hinders your plans on Earth," Xu Jingming responded.

Yes, Xu Jingming had a very small number of shares in many of Earth's core corporations. As a shareholder, he had to at least achieve the minimum fairness in the land reclamation contracts that the Black Moon civilization was about to impose on them.

That way, the Black Moon civilization would lose at least a trillion! It was because of this that they were willing to give him 100 billion! Otherwise, there wouldn't be a need to pay such a huge price even when inviting Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms to migrate.
