The sky was clear and cloudless, the weather was still terribly hot, and the melodious chirping of various birds could be faintly heard all around.

On the lush branches, you can see all kinds of birds, big and small, chasing and playing, even showing affection.

There were also birds busily searching for nests, carrying various sponges, firewood, and miscellaneous items in their mouths—a thriving scene.

The survivors, accustomed to the tribe's laid-back and unrestrained lifestyle, suddenly felt somewhat out of place in this environment. It seemed everything was progressing in a positive direction, meaning the tribe might be on the verge of extinction?

Thinking about this, many survivors began to feel more unhappy than ever before, because once the tribe was gone, would everyone be busy again, facing many social problems, just like before the tribe came: buying a house, buying a car, desperately saving money, and only after saving enough money could they get married!

"Wow! The weather is nice today! Just from this weather, we can tell that the tribe is about to leave? A new world is about to arrive?" A long-haired young man and a group of former laborers were discussing this.

"A new world? My foot! Wasn't it the same not long ago? The weather was unpredictable, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and we've been stuck in the tribes for so long..." a balding middle-aged man said with great experience.

A group of gray people surrounded Xu Que, asking him to think of a way to persuade the special forces members and the captain to go with them on the flying saucer to the Blue Planet and meet their parents.

Xu Que was also helpless: "There's nothing I can do if they don't want to go!"

The tribal girl said coquettishly, "We all know that although they are special forces soldiers, they really want to go, but they are too embarrassed to go because of their pride. They just come with us because they are afraid that others will laugh at them! Since they chose to be soldiers, they can't let the country down, right? So they are just putting on a brave face and suffering for the sake of saving face!"

"Could you please put in a good word for me?" the gray man said, looking at Xu Que with a pleading expression.

"No! Are you taking them to Blue Planet and then bringing them back? Are you going to immigrate or just take them to meet your parents? You need to be clear!" Xu Que tried hard to suppress his laughter.

The members pondered for a moment: "If we go, we might not come back!"

"Alright! I'll go talk to them. If they're not willing to come with you, then there's nothing I can do! I'm making this clear first!" Xu Que said before heading off to find the special forces members and their captain.

Today, in the square not far from the village gate, there were dozens of people queuing in front of the office building where civil service exam registration is held, compared to the previous times.

Some of them were women, including young women, older women, and some who appeared to be minors.

Among the group of people registering for the civil service exam, a man and a woman particularly attracted attention: initially, the man had his arm around the woman's neck, seemingly whispering something, and the woman, looking disgusted, pushed him away… But less than a second later, the man grabbed her again, pulling and tugging at her, as if trying to prevent her from taking the civil service exam. The woman seemed to get angry this time! She slapped the man hard across the face… and then yelled, “Go to hell, you piece of trash, get out of here!!!”

The boy got angry and punched the girl. After a series of martial arts moves, the girl was left with a bruised and swollen face.

"Come home with me! I've always let you have your way, and now you've really gone too far!" The boy cursed as he dragged the girl along one of her legs toward the other side of the square after she fell to the ground.

A dozen minutes later, several more men looking for wives arrived at the square outside the office where the various tribes were registering for the civil service exam! They didn't want their wives to apply for the civil service exam, because they were afraid that if they succeeded, Pingyao and the tribe members would take them elsewhere. Another reason was that they didn't want to help Pingyao and the tribe members mine crystals, something a woman like them couldn't do! And most importantly, they said: "I've sacrificed so much for you, you can't just leave me like that!" That's why the woman from before was beaten!

The other women waiting in line to register saw their husbands arrive. Having learned from the previous incident, they were afraid of being beaten up again, so they went home with their husbands without saying a word!

Several men who were preparing to apply for civil service positions in Pingyao and their tribes sighed, "How can a man beat his wife? I've never even given her a hard time, yet she left me with some ridiculous excuse. It seems women are like walnuts—you have to crack them open to eat them?"

A middle-aged man at the back picked his nose, flicked two fingers outwards, and said, "This is a tribe now, not the peaceful era before the tribe came. Don't think that just because you're a woman, men won't dare to touch you. You're being unreasonable! Now you've been dragged back... There are plenty of women in the tribe. You still think you're as pretentious as before. Now you've been taught a lesson, haven't you?"

The second-to-last middle-aged man turned his head away and said, "I rejected several pretty girls a few days ago! At least a dozen! Because I'm getting older, and all my bodily functions are starting to decline, I thought the girls were still young and I couldn't let them down! That's why I came here to register for the civil service exam!"

"You have a male health condition? Hmm, you don't need to answer, we can tell just by looking at the top of your head! The civil service exam held by Pingyao and the tribe members is just a simple strength test. As long as you can dig sand and find crystals, you're good! There aren't many other requirements! It's perfect for bachelors like us who don't plan to have wives to live a carefree life! Most importantly, we have the protection of Pingyao and the tribe members!"

Xu Que was sitting on the green grass under a big tree, chatting with the special forces soldiers: "Those gray-clad ladies in your uniforms want you to come with them to Blue Planet to meet their parents, right? They're currently repairing and maintaining their flying saucer, and they'll take you all there after they've refueled in a couple of days! Have you prepared any gifts for your alien fathers-in-law yet? Hahaha, this is your first time meeting them, don't tell me you haven't prepared anything! That would be so embarrassing, I'm telling you!"

The Black Goose tribe member wanted to laugh but didn't, saying, "What's the point of preparing a gift? We'll just borrow our father-in-law's daughter, and soon there will be two of us. Isn't this grandson a gift? Won't our father-in-law be overjoyed?"

The other tribal special forces members scoffed: "You're the most shameless soldier I've ever seen! I despise you!"

The Black Goose tribe members retorted, "That's the truth! How am I shameless? Don't think about aliens with human minds, okay?! Those Grey ladies said that marrying us is a blessing they've earned over several lifetimes, an honor!"

"Ugh! My ears can't take it! I can't stand it! I've never seen such a narcissistic man, especially a soldier like him!"
