Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

At the moment, Steve was hugging Lucy and Sofia. He had just defeated Lawrence and caused a huge loss to the Black Tiger Combat Unit, making him look like a true hero.

The journalists in the military base had already surrounded Steve and were taking pictures of him. They had never heard of any recruits that were as outstanding as Steve!

But, while the three of them were standing towards the front, there was one person who was hesitant to go forward. That person was Vivien.

Vivian looked at Steve, Lucy, and Sofia with envy in her eyes. She also wanted to be a woman who could stand proudly beside Steve. But, she didn't think that she deserved that honor.

Lucy and Sofia were the two most outstanding women among the recruits. They were even better than most of the men! In fact, all of the female recruits who worshipped them equaled in number to those who worshipped Steve!

On the contrary, Vivien paled in comparison. She was not as talented as they were, nor was she any more hard-working than either of them.

They were also both more delicate and beautiful in appearance than Viven. In Vivien's heart, she felt that she could never measure up to Lucy and Sofia in any aspect.

"Vivien, come over here!" Lucy saw Vivien and shouted.

Faced with Lucy's invitation, Vivien still shook her head. This was her inferiority complex rearing its ugly head again.

Right then, Steve suddenly came up to Vivien, took her hand, then kissed her on the back of her hand and said, "Thank you for your lucky kiss."

The unexpected happiness that surged into her heart stunned Vivien, whose face instantly flushed a bright red.

"I... I didn't do anything," Vivien said shyly.

"You helped me!" Steve nodded as he said. He was sure that it was Vivien's strange force that led to the failure of Lawrence's second stage of morphing.

"Look, Steve's on the personal strength ranking chart!" Just then, a cry of shock came from the crowd.

The crowd's attention was drawn over, and many people opened up the network to view the personal strength ranking chart of the Original Gravity Tower.

They immediately saw that Steve's name was ranked in the 4963rd place! He had just pushed Lawrence's name down lower on the list!

"He's really on the list!"

"The recruit who just entered the military base has already reached the top 5,000 in less than a week!"

"Is he lucky, or is he stronger than we thought?"

"It's a miracle!"

"Steve created a miracle!"

Cries of surprise rang out, as everyone was shocked to see Steve's name on the personal strength ranking chart. In the past, even though there had also been geniuses who had become original beings before they had entered the military base, no matter how strong those geniuses were, they could not reach a basic cell value of 380 points within a few days!

Although Steve's basic cell value had not reached 380, by virtue of his strength, he had personally defeated Lawrence, whose basic cell value was 386 points! This had launched Steve into the personal strength ranking chart in one shot! These achievements were beyond everyone's imagination, and people seemed to see the beginnings of the rise of a legendary figure.

"Mr. Steve, I'm sorry to have scolded you before." A fat man came forwards to apologize to Steve. Then, many others approached him as well...

"I... I apologize too."

"Fortunately, we didn't make a big mistake because of the darn Black Tiger Combat Unit!"

"We were too reckless, and we blamed you before knowing the truth."

Many soldiers from the online world apologized to Steve for their previous actions. Some people had even started an apology forum on the Internet, where many soldiers who had misunderstood Steve could issue their apology statements publicly.

"I accept your apologies, even though this incident has caused me a lot of trouble. But, we were all deceived, and you have not acted too aggressively. So, I hope that this will be the end of the matter," Steve said graciously.

Upon hearing that Steve had forgiven them, everyone breathed sighs of relief and started to smile again.

"Warner, Nathaniel, I remember that you both slandered Steve too. Now that the truth is clear, why don't I see you apologizing?" Jenna looked at them teasingly.

Warner's and Nathaniel's expressions changed, as neither of them wanted to admit their mistakes in front of all of these people. But, they also knew that they would not be seen as gentlemen if they didn't apologize.

"Haha, we'll make an apology statement online later," Warner laughed and said.

"Yes, there are too many apologists graveling before him now. There are forums on the Internet, so we will post our apology statements there. Besides, we were also deceived by the Black Tiger Combat Unit, which was why we misunderstood Steve," Nathaniel said awkwardly.

"I hope that you will really apologize later." Audrey smiled coldly.

Warner's and Nathaniel's faces changed once again. They had wanted to play it by ear, but now it seemed that not issuing an apology statement would really reflect poorly upon their reputations. Still, even the thought of apologizing to Steve made them feel an unspeakable awkwardness.

Audrey ignored Nathaniel's and Warner's reactions, as it didn't matter to her whether they apologized or not. She cared more about Steve now.

She looked at Steve in the distance, her gaze turning passionate. She looked like a woman who was looking at a bag that she would like to buy and who wanted it right away!

"He's so surprising! He was able to defeat Lawrence just five days after entering the military base! I can't imagine what his potential will be in the future." Audrey sighed.

"Hehe, I'm getting more and more interested in him now. Unfortunately, there are a lot of women always around this fellow. However, if he can perform better, I might still have feelings for him," Jenna stood next to Audrey and said with a small laugh. "Now I understand why you like him so much."

Audrey frowned and stared at her. "Don't drag me down with you just because you've got feelings for him. I'm just admiring his talent."

Jenna smiled knowingly and said, "Well, It wouldn't be surprising if you liked him..."

Audrey didn't take Jenna's words seriously, as she really had no romantic feelings for Steve at the moment. However, she was eager to get Steve, as she knew that Steve would become a legend among his generation.

After all, Steve had even beaten Lawrence, who was the captain of the Black Tiger Subunit two! Even though Steve's defeat of Lawrence seemed to have some element of luck, people still only looked at the results! Steve had won, so that was all they cared about!
