"Is something wrong, Wang Dong? Are you still thinking about what those people said to you?" Aisibei tilted her head, looked at Wang Dong's face, and reached out with her small, white, tender hand to touch it, saying, "Let me explain it to you."

"Eh?" Wang Dong was taken aback, looking at Aisibei and said, "Explain... what?"

"Aren't you wondering why these people so easily call you king?" Aisibei smiled gently and said, "Actually, the answer is very simple."

"From the information I've gathered on the internet over the past few days, it seems that your country has faced a significant crisis since the appearance of demon hunters in other countries."

"Because the appearance of demon hunters in other countries has brought interstellar technology to this backward planet, which is far beyond its time, just like the appearance of firearms among a group of barbarians, giving them an absolute advantage."

At this point, Aisibei looked at Wang Dong's expression and noticed that he wasn't angry about her calling Earthlings "barbarians."

"However, these people are not barbarians; they have some knowledge and are not willing to be gradually annexed!"

This wasn't an exaggeration by Aisibei, as the impact of interstellar technology on Earth was truly enormous, including water purification, new energy sources, more convenient transportation, and... portals.

"And you are the only demon hunter born in your country so far. I can assure you that your status is unshakable until the second demon hunter is born in your country."

"Because you are the only way for your country to obtain interstellar technology and the only hope for its rise."

Wang Dong nodded thoughtfully, then seemed to think of something and quickly asked Aisibei, "Do you think they might try to control me? Like poisoning... or cursing me?"

"Are you kidding?" Aisibei sneered disdainfully and said, "On this planet, which is so backward in both magic and technology, what methods do they have to control you?"

"Even if they really did control you, unless they prevent you from entering the interstellar realm, you can definitely break free from their control!"

"Whether they use science or magic to control you, there are far more advanced forces in the interstellar realm than on Earth, and any of them can easily remove the control from this planet."

"And what would be the point of preventing you from entering the interstellar realm? If they want to control you, it's to make you go to the interstellar realm and bring benefits to your country, right?"

"Thus, a contradiction arises. If they want to control you, as soon as you enter the interstellar realm, you can definitely break free from their control. A controlled and 'forced' you would surely harbor resentment, making it a lose-lose situation."

"And if they control you and prevent you from going to the interstellar realm, then controlling you would be meaningless, wasting a demon hunter who took so many years to be born."

"Moreover, once you enter the interstellar realm, you will realize how insignificant Earth is." Aisibei looked at Wang Dong and said slowly, "I told you, with my inheritance, your growth speed will be absolutely at the BUG level!"

"Question!" Wang Dong raised his hand like a primary school student and asked with a smile, "Can you tell me why my growth level is at the BUG level?"

"Very simple. When you enter the interstellar realm, you will start with six months of basic training at the Interstellar Academy. This training will only teach you the most basic things, and after six months, you will be kicked out."

"Ordinary demon hunters, after leaving the Interstellar Academy, not only have to train to strengthen their own forces but also have to study or learn new techniques. A new recruit almost never develops new techniques on their own, so learning techniques developed by predecessors is their only method."

"But you are different. You have my inheritance. As you grow, you will have corresponding skills to learn!"

Wang Dong slapped his forehead in realization and said, "In short, others have an empty skill tree and need to spend a lot of time building their skill tree, while my skill tree is already full and can be activated at the right level, right?"

"Very smart~" Aisibei chuckled and said, "Remember, Earth is not even a beginner village for you!"

"Um, why don't you take this opportunity to tell me more about the interstellar realm?" Wang Dong tilted his head and asked Aisibei, "So I can be mentally prepared."

"Sure." Aisibei nodded, adjusted her position in Wang Dong's arms, and thought for a moment, saying, "Where should I start..."

Wang Dong, while sniffing the fragrance from Aisibei's golden hair, said softly, "About the power structure? Or the composition?"

"Um, sure." Aisibei nodded and said, "The interstellar realm is a general term for the explored areas of the Interstellar Alliance, and its scope is constantly expanding."

"The Interstellar Alliance, well, can be considered a cross-universe mercenary organization! Every demon hunter is a mercenary."

"The founders of the Interstellar Alliance include the Immortal Realm, Heavenly Realm, Divine Realm, Nether Realm, Demon Realm, Monster Realm, and so on. The controllers of these forces are all five-star demon hunters."

"These forces directly control only a very small part of the interstellar realm, almost only 3-4% of the area, but the regions they control are all the best."

"Then, some four-star demon hunters will attach themselves to the forces of these five-star demon hunters, becoming their subordinate forces and controlling a certain area."

"Many people will post tasks in the Interstellar Alliance, such as collecting materials, and demon hunters can take on these tasks, complete them, and receive rewards. This is quite easy to understand, right?"

"Uh-huh, I know!" Wang Dong nodded quickly. Demon hunters are essentially high-level mercenaries!

"Demon hunters have five levels, from the lowest one-star to the highest five-star. You are not yet a demon hunter. After you complete the six months of training, you can be called a 'one-star demon hunter.'"

"Um, other things are still too far away for you. I'll tell you when you need to know!" Aisibei thought for a moment and realized that telling Wang Dong about other things would be meaningless, so she decisively ended this "lesson."

"Um, I thought demon hunters were a very powerful profession... turns out they're just space mercenaries!?" Wang Dong leaned back on the pillow behind him, a bit disappointed, and muttered, "What a joke, the eighth king..."

"Ha ha, after all, Earth is not even a beginner village for you, at most a beginner tutorial level." Aisibei laughed and said, "For a game with a maximum level of 400, a beginner tutorial area with a maximum level of 10 has no reference value at all!"

Wang Dong nodded a bit helplessly. Aisibei was right. For the Interstellar Alliance, demon hunters are probably as common as living people in 21st-century China, where you could throw a brick and hit two or three of them! But for Earth, they are super rare beings, with only eight on the entire planet.

"Why do I feel like I'm a monkey claiming to be king in a mountain without tigers?" Wang Dong covered his face with a look of frustration, and the excitement of becoming a "king" disappeared completely.

"Idiot!" Aisibei used her head to push Wang Dong's chin hard, and then, amidst his cries of pain, muttered, "Don't forget, you have my inheritance! For you, a four-star demon hunter is within reach! You are not a monkey! If we have to compare, you are at least a Super Saiyan!"

"But isn't that still a monkey!" Wang Dong said with a blank face, then suddenly paused and said, "Wait, Super Saiyan... isn't that an ape?"

"Eh!? A monkey!" Aisibei was taken aback and then said, "Don't you remember! King Frieza once said, 'Those damn monkeys'!"

"But, don't you remember, on a full moon night, Saiyans transform into great apes when they look at the moon?" Wang Dong looked at Aisibei with a conflicted expression.

"..." A moment of silence. The two looked at each other and then quietly opened Baidu.

After getting the answer they wanted, Aisibei rubbed against Wang Dong and said with a smile, "How about it, do you want to go out and play?"

Wang Dong tilted his head and looked at Aisibei hesitantly, saying, "If we go out to play, will you hide in the shadows or come with me?"

"Eh!?" Aisibei didn't expect Wang Dong to ask this question, was taken aback for a moment, and then her eyes narrowed into small crescents as she said, "So, do you want me to hide in the shadows or come with you?"

"Um, it's a tough choice." Wang Dong clutched his head in pain, "If you come with me, ah, such a cute lolita would surely attract a crowd, but I don't want you to hide in the shadows..."

"Kaka~" Aisibei laughed happily, wrapped her arms around Wang Dong's neck, and said with a grin, "Don't worry, there is a spell to make others not notice you~"

_(:3J<)_, in any case, I've explained some of the settings. You should understand now that Earth is not the place where the story unfolds. Earth's maximum level is 10, and you can be invincible on Earth at level 20, but the maximum level in the interstellar realm is 400...

It's a metaphor, but you can see →→ that the real story will only unfold after you reach the interstellar realm!
