Chapter 933 - 481: The 500th Great Xia Warrior Is Born (Part 3)
Three minutes later.
The family boarded the smart car.
Erin was comforting their slightly uncomfortable daughter beside her, while Ha Xiaofu turned on the front screen, starting to browse local videos of Madaga Island, getting to know the local customs.
Having just watched one video, a pop-up suddenly appeared in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Ha Xiaofu took just a glance and immediately cursed: "Damn!"
Because the pop-up contained one line: "The Central Administrative Center and Sirius Life Technology Group will hold a major press conference in half an hour, signaling the arrival of a new era of human evolution!"
Ha Xiaofu had never heard of Sirius Life Technology Group, but the Central Administrative Center personally endorsing it suggested the company had impressive clout.
"Major," "new era of human evolution," these words indicated this was a significant event.
Erin turned and saw the pop-up information, also very surprised, but mostly sighing: "I feel like there’s something big happening every day now."
Ha Xiaofu agreed: "Indeed."
Suddenly Erin speculated whimsically: "Honey, I have a feeling that this Sirius Company might be related to Celestial Star Agriculture?"
Ha Xiaofu was taken aback: "Really?"
Erin even provided a reason: "Sirius and Celestial Star differ by only one character. The name Sirius Company includes the words ’Life Technology,’ and Celestial Star Agriculture’s cultivation of crops could be considered life technology too. I don’t think it’s a coincidence."
After thinking about it, Ha Xiaofu was convinced by his wife: "It’s possible that Sirius Company is indeed Chairman Yang’s new venture!"
Twenty minutes later.
The couple arrived at their spotless new home and met the renowned Xue Wu Robot.
The new home was a three-bedroom two-living-room apartment, with an indoor area of over 90 square meters. Although located on the underground fourth level, it had an excellent ventilation and lighting system with not a hint of darkness or dampness.
Since the Age of Calamity, newly constructed residences in the Great Xia typically had a structure of six levels above and below ground.
If dangerous situations occur, the underground portion serves as an immediate shelter, allowing for extended survival with sufficient food.
These residences are known as "Xia-style Safe Residences."
As the influence of Great Xia grows, various countries are racing to imitate the construction of Xia-style Safe Residences.
"Welcome home, Mr. Ha and Miss Erin!"
Xue Wu Robot greeted them at the door with a soft, endearing female voice.
Its body was covered with soft white materials, and its two round electronic eyes smiled like crescents, it looked quite adorable.
Xue Wu immediately introduced its responsibilities: "I am your family caretaker, responsible for cleaning, cooking, laundry and storage, taking care of the baby, as well as any other tasks you command.
"But I must state in advance, for orders that involve crimes or violate public norms, I will refuse to execute them."
Erin asked: "What kind of requests violate public norms?"
Ha Xiaofu interjected: "Those are the vulgar and shameful acts."
Erin was still a bit confused; she couldn’t imagine someone wanting a robot to perform humiliating indecent acts.
Ha Xiaofu cited an example: "I saw online, someone once ordered the Xue Wu Robot to do ’that kind of thing’ for him."
When saying "that kind of thing," he gestured with an "up and down" motion.
Erin immediately understood.
Ha Xiaofu continued: "The Xue Wu Robot refused the request, yet the guy shamelessly complained to the manufacturer that the Xue Wu Robot didn’t follow his orders.
"The manufacturer was very angry, directly contacted the police, and after investigation, charged the guy with disrupting public order, and detained him for three days.
"The manufacturer then activated the user’s agreement recovery clause, reclaimed the Xue Wu Robot, and permanently blacklisted the guy."
Erin remarked: "Oddball indeed!"
Five minutes later.
The couple sat on the sofa, waiting for the press conference to start while sipping hot tea.
Xue Wu Robot unfolded the waist tray, specifically designed for toddlers to place the baby on the tray.
Its left hand held a small pinwheel, making the baby giggle, while its right hand efficiently organized the clothes in the suitcase.
Ordinary humans can’t achieve all this with one hand, yet Xue Wu does it swiftly.
Ittook a folded shirt with its right hand shook it open, then effortlessly grabbed a hanger, and in a move too quick for the human eye to follow, hung the shirt neatly.
Erin watched for a moment, then sighed: "Compared to Xue Wu, I’m practically useless."
Xue Wu immediately turned back: "The meaning of being human is not confined to endless chores. My mission is to relieve you of those trivial tasks so you can focus on more meaningful activities in life."
Ha Xiaofu followed with a sigh: "Xue Wu’s emotional intelligence is so high, compared to Xue Wu, I’m just an inarticulate person."
Afternoon Four o’clock.
Great Xia Time Ten o’clock.
The conference began promptly.
On the television screen, one could see the venue of more than 1,000 square meters already filled with reporters armed with cameras of all shapes and sizes.
Ha Xiaofu expressed astonishment: "There must have been over a thousand people here, right?"
Erin thought otherwise: "I think it’s more than 2,000."
She took a sip of tea and continued: "Anyway, Great Xia is the core of human civilization, so it’s normal for so many reporters to attend a major press conference."
Just as she finished speaking.
A man’s voice unexpectedly emerged from the TV speakers: "Welcome to the live broadcast of the press conference, to witness this historic moment together."
The camera then focused on the host of the conference.
This host was seen before in the key lab of Celestial Star Agriculture—the Senior Official, Minister Liang.
Minister Liang smiled and said: "Before officially starting, I have an announcement."
He deliberately paused, then slowly stated: "Just half an hour ago, Great Xia’s 500th Warrior successfully ascended!"
"Boom!"
The venue erupted.
"Damn!"
Ha Xiaofu instinctively cursed.
The debate over the number of Warriors in Great Xia always invoked fierce arguments online.
Although Great Xia was undeniably the strongest in the Supernatural Domain, it was certain the number of Warriors wasn’t many, with credible estimates not exceeding 15.
The whole world never expected Great Xia would quietly drop a Heping Bullet, suddenly announcing the birth of its 500th Warrior.

Simultaneously.
Primordial World.
Yang Fan quietly entered the Sobbing Green Sea, confronting a gigantic creature he encountered last time.
This was an Insect Monster of High Rank Knight Level.
