"Level 4 Member Badge, and member allowances..."

The next day, Gao Xuan received the Xiao Swordsmanship Association badge, along with the related benefits for a Level 4 Member.

Including allowances and such, Gao Xuan's identity level on Taurus was raised to Level 6.

The Taurus identity levels are divided into 10 levels, with Levels 1 to 3 being the lowest tier, having no access to the highest tier.

Levels 4 to 6 belong to the middle tier. They can move in and out of the top tier. If they have money, they can even reside in the top tier.

However, they have to bear a lot of taxes and corresponding obligations.

Only those above Level 7 are considered upper-class individuals. For example, renowned university professors, top technical experts, etc., these top elites of society can enter this class.

Due to the resource allocation, lower-class individuals find it hard to get enough educational resources. It's also difficult for them to grow and rise.

Only those with uniquely exceptional talents can pass through the narrow channel into the upper class.

The upper class also likes such new blood. Extraordinary talent represents excellent genes.

In this strictly hierarchical social class, a small channel is left to select the best genes from many lower-class individuals. This is actually a cold but effective screening mechanism.

Gao Xuan is well aware of the essence of the Alliance structure. He stands out and escapes the lower-class identity because he is excellent enough. This is how he step by step reached his current position.

Noble families will reject his identity, but they won't reject his excellent genes.

The upper echelon of the Alliance understands very well that the greatest wealth of the vast majority of lower-class humans is their genes.

For humans to keep evolving, the most important thing is also their genes.

Thus, in this highly developed intelligent mechanical interstellar era, the total amount of humans is still increasing. This is because the upper-class aristocracy needs more genetic samples, more variant genes.

By joining the Xiao Swordsmanship Association, Gao Xuan has essentially shed his lower-class identity. Although he doesn't really care about it, advanced status indeed brings all sorts of conveniences and benefits.

Gao Xuan caressed the small bronze badge, which actually contains complex encrypted electronic information. With this small badge, it would be easy to pawn it for tens of millions.

He curiously asked Xiao Wan, "Isn't there any pretty girl in your family who wants to marry me?"

Xiao Wan's face changed slightly, "Why do you ask that?"

"With my excellent genes, of course, many people want to pair with me."

Gao Xuan was confident about this, and he said, "But marriage is impossible. I am destined to be free and unrestrained in this lifetime..."

Modern medical technology is very advanced, yet it is difficult to fully extract excellent human genes.

Due to the cultivation of Source Power, human genes are extraordinarily complex. It's not as simple as drawing some blood or obtaining some saliva.

To obtain complete genes, one usually needs to extract various cells like spinal stem cells and brain nerve cells.

Even so, these mechanical methods cannot fully extract human genes.

Current genetic science holds that human Spiritual Power is crucial. The combination of Spiritual Power and genes is the most complete human gene.

However, Spiritual Power cannot be extracted. Therefore, the best method is to improve genes through reproducing the next generation.

Excellent individuals always have more opportunities to spread their genes.

Gao Xuan feels that as long as the Xiao Family people aren't foolish, they should consider matters of mating and producing offspring.

"You're feeling too good about yourself."

For some reason, Xiao Wan completely lost interest in the conversation, stood up, and left.

Before leaving the door, Xiao Wan reminded, "Stay home and don't run into trouble. Don't meet with Xiao Ting privately. And don't go on missions. If you need to go out, let me know."

After Xiao Wan left, Gao Xuan laughed.

Judging by Xiao Wan's reaction, she seems to be the one being sent for mating. Hahaha...

Actually, Xiao Wan is quite pretty, and she has a big chest. Just lacks a bit of femininity. Gao Xuan doesn't mind, they are so familiar, he can help with this favor. But he's not getting married...

After sending Xiao Wan off, Gao Xuan accessed the virtual reality of the Xiao Swordsmanship Association through the Celestial Net.

After verifying his identity information, Gao Xuan smoothly entered the archives and obtained the task list.

The Xiao Swordsmanship Association is a large organization with tens of thousands of members. Of course, the vast majority are low-level members. Gao Xuan, as a Level 4 Member, doesn't have a low status.

Most of the Association's tasks are relatively simple.

For example, completing service tasks, earning military merits, and getting military rank promotions can all earn corresponding points rewards.

Instead of calling these tasks, they are more like internal promotion rules of the Association. Following these rules naturally earns points and elevates membership levels.

The Xiao Family's influence is all in the military, so these tasks are closely related to the army.

Gao Xuan cannot do these tasks; he can't waste time on these trivial tasks.

There are indeed truly important tasks as well.

For example, capturing or killing the Golden Light Asura. Capturing the Golden Light Asura earns ten thousand points, and killing it earns eight thousand points.

Seeing this, Gao Xuan couldn't help but feel a burst of energy; this task seems to be something he could handle?

He then reviewed the Xiao Family's internal records on the Golden Light Asura and wisely gave up on this task.

Over the past hundred years, Golden Light Asura has killed seven members of the Xiao Family. Among them were two Level 9 Members, while the remaining five were also very important backbones of the Xiao Family at the time.

In fact, Golden Light Asura has also killed many important figures from other noble families. To s-u$pp^o+rt^ our wor%k, pl$ease- re$a.d on *@.+

Both the Lan Family and the Yu Family harbor a deep hatred for the Golden Light Asura. However, these major noble families are well aware of how dangerous the Golden Light Asura is.

They don't dare to make a grand show of looking for the Golden Light Asura and can only secretly offer a reward within the family, proceeding with caution.

The key issue is that these families have been searching for decades with little to show for it.

If he were to easily find the Golden Light Asura, it would surely arouse suspicion. As for killing the Golden Light Asura to claim the reward, that would be even more suspicious.

Just based on him alone as a Tenth-level Swordsman, could he really kill the top assassin, Golden Light Asura?

Moreover, the name Golden Light Asura is quite useful!

Blood Shadow can't be used anymore; operating under the alias of Golden Light Asura makes things much easier.

But without the Undying Golden Cicada, it's not easy to advance to Silver, nor is it easy to kill the Golden Light Asura.

After going in circles, ultimately, he still needs to upgrade his membership first.

There's another task on the list, investigating the spatial anomaly in the Tiansha River Asteroid Belt.

The Xiao Family has already lost two battleships there, which belong to the Xiao Family's private fleet, a significant loss. For this reason, the Xiao Family conducted various investigations but found no cause.

Gao Xuan suspects it's the doing of the Eight-winged Void Flying Fish. The spatial anomaly likely caused the disappearance of the two flying ships.

Looking back now, Nuwa has really taken care of him. All the tasks she's given him are related to the Xiao Family.

However, this task is not easy to undertake. He can't just run over and say he knows what the problem is and that he's going to solve it...

As a lowly Tenth-level Swordsman, why would others trust him?

However, it's worth trying just for those four thousand points.

Gao Xuan believes convincing Xiao Wan won't be a problem. Solving the issue with the Eight-winged Void Flying Fish will also allow him to earn points from Nuwa. That's too worthwhile.

Just as Gao Xuan was thinking of contacting Xiao Wan, he heard someone knocking on the door.

With a shift of his mind, the two people outside the door appeared in his mind's eye.

It was Xiao Ting and Xiao Jun, and Xiao Ting was carrying a delicate gift box.

Gao Xuan instructed the robot to open the door and went out to greet them.

"Mr. Gao, apologies for the sudden visit," Xiao Ting said.

Her voice was gentle, her demeanor polite and courteous, devoid of the typical arrogance and conceit of noble youth.

Xiao Jun, who had been full of arrogance yesterday, now stood behind Xiao Ting, trying her best to appear courteous and polite.

Yet her lively eyes frequently met Gao Xuan's, filled with undisguised curiosity and inquiry.

Although Xiao Wan had advised against privately interacting with the Xiao Ting sisters, Gao Xuan wouldn't turn guests away.

These two obviously had something to discuss, and he was genuinely curious. Besides, Xiao Wan's words were merely a suggestion; he could choose to heed them or not.

Gao Xuan invited Xiao Ting and Xiao Jun to sit down and smiled, "Ladies, is there something I can do for you?"

Xiao Jun was about to speak, but Xiao Ting stopped her with a glance.

Xiao Ting placed the gift box on the coffee table, "This is the Blood Dragon Fruit from Purple Dragon Star, not very common, but tastes quite nice. Mr. Gao, have a taste."

This fruit can improve one's constitution and enhance Spiritual Power, making it an incredibly precious fruit that can't be bought on the market.

Gao Xuan wasn't shy. "With Sister Ting's kind thought, I won't stand on ceremony."

Hearing Gao Xuan's familiar address, Xiao Ting laughed. She had feared Gao Xuan would be brash and confront them head-on, making conversation impossible.

With Gao Xuan's sunny and bright personality, he had a special charm. One would never expect such a bright young man to be capable of such ruthless violence.

Xiao Ting said, "You've joined the association, so we're like family now."

She paused before continuing, "I won't beat around the bush. I need your help with something."

Gao Xuan was curious, "I wonder what I might be able to help with?"

Xiao Ting explained, "I'm serving on Purple Dragon Star, where a Sword Assembly is held every three years. The winner receives great rewards. The three-yearly assembly is just days away, and I'd like you to participate on my behalf."

"Purple Dragon Star, it's too far. Sorry," Gao Xuan declined immediately upon hearing it was an off-world task.

If it were quick money, he might consider it for extra income. However, a trip to Purple Dragon Star couldn't be hidden from Xiao Wan, and besides, his time was precious, and he couldn't afford to run around.

Xiao Jun was a bit unhappy hearing Gao Xuan's straightforward refusal, but Xiao Ting held her little hand tightly, stopping her from speaking out.

Xiao Ting addressed Gao Xuan earnestly, "The terms are negotiable."

Gao Xuan shook his head, prompting Xiao Ting to add, "Three thousand points."

Gao Xuan hesitated, "It's not that I don't want to help, Sister Wan wouldn't agree..."

Xiao Ting gritted her teeth, "Five thousand points."

Gao Xuan immediately put on an enthusiastic face, "We're all family. How could I sit back and not help Sister Ting in her hour of need? Sister Wan is sure to understand!"

Xiao Jun's mouth twisted; this guy is so greedy! Yet, despite his avarice, he still looks so handsome...
