Chapter 175: Grow big and strong! Create brilliance again! Crush the Alliance!

Seeing Lin Ran's excited look, Zhang Jie had no choice, after all Lin Ran wasn't a fool; she understood everything, and this sort of thing would eventually be noticed by her.

However, Zhang Jie had already prepared a countermeasure; he understood Lin Ran and knew what kind of talk would work on her.

"I admit, these two things are indeed related, but you've got the order backwards."

"It's because I first awakened my past-life memories that I could obtain this technology."

Zhang Jie gently patted Lin Ran's silly head and comforted her.

"So there's no need to worry so much."

However, Lin Ran wasn't so easily appeased; she kept questioning Zhang Jie for a long time, and finally, having no choice, Zhang Jie revealed a few secrets of the simulator to her and claimed they were left by a high-dimensional civilization.

Anyway, Zhang Jie had successfully persuaded Lin Ran, though he of course knew Lin Ran wasn't that easily reassured—she just didn't say so.

"Then it's settled."

Zhang Jie smirked, rubbing Lin Ran's hair from behind, wearing a shameless, clingy expression.

Lin Ran was worn down by him and finally relented.

"Well then..."

Lin Ran's cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke, trying to appear composed.

"Then let me handle the matter of buying the star."

"I'll take care of it; you just need to have those big brothers at the Alliance Research Institute prepare the prototype of the second warship."

Zhang Jie mysteriously showed Lin Ran his savings, and Lin Ran counted for a while before she figured it out.

"How......!"

"Forget it, I still won't ask..."

"Same as before, Zhang Jie—don't try to be a hero on your own, promise me, okay?"

"Hmm."

"I promise you."

Meanwhile, our Master Wei was trying to learn from Lin Ran to build his own power.

Her idea was simple: as long as she herself was strong enough, and her forces strong enough, she could rescue the teacher!

Now it seems that martial divine abilities combined with the previous prosthetic technology have potential! Weiniya plans to create her own power based on that.

Lately, she's been busy making money; she's eager to advance!

And Weiniya's recent rapid order‑brushing has also made many corrupt upper‑echelon people panic.

Originally, Weiniya wouldn't have taken on such jobs, but now she accepts any she sees, keeping the intelligence division working overtime, and they still don't know what kind of mischief their big sister is up to.

Naturally, Lin Ran noticed Weiniya's movements, but she didn't intervene—perhaps she thought Weiniya was being fanciful, or perhaps she had absolute confidence in her own strength.

One day, as Weiniya returned to the organization after completing an assassination mission, she unexpectedly discovered that Yu Xiaomo was also there.

"I heard you want to establish your own civilization‑based power."

"I can help you."

Weiniya looked at Yu Xiaomo suspiciously, for a moment unable to make heads or tails of it.

She knew this woman—she was likely the teacher's childhood sweetheart, one of the people who had once ruined her financially!

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Weiniya didn't know where this information came from, and she didn't trust Yu Xiaomo.

"Don't play dumb—I'll say it straight: that woman named Lin Ran is blocking me from seeing Zhang Jie, and I suppose you're the same."

"So why don't we two join forces, grow big and strong! Create brilliance again! Crush the Alliance! Save Zhang Jie!"

Yu Xiaomo grew more excited as she spoke, and suddenly she heard her own voice coming from Weiniya's phone.

"?"

Yu Xiaomo looked over in confusion, only to see that Weiniya's phone was playing back the very words she had just spoken, and this audio recording had been opened in Zhang Jie's chat window!

That is to say....

Weiniya had recorded her own voice and just sent it off like that to Zhang Jie?

"You!"

Yu Xiaomo was furious, exclaiming, "We shouldn't be on the same side!!"

Weiniya stared with a dazed, cute look, raised her hand, and swore.

"I am 100% loyal to the teacher!!!"

"Are you stupid!"

"I'm not stupid; I just don't want to deceive the teacher."

Seeing a question mark appear in Zhang Jie's chat box, Yu Xiaomo completely lost her composure, turned and stormed off—today she had lost face big time!

"Don't you regret it!"

Yu Xiaomo stormed off angrily, while Weiniya calmly took a sip of water; she and Yu Xiaomo were indeed on the same side, but only temporarily.

The organization she co‑founded would never truly be hers in the end; only something she built herself could put her at ease!

She, Weiniya, will never rely on others in her lifetime! This is true! The martial way is likewise!

Except the teacher!

"Cough...."

Weiniya glanced around guiltily, her face turning crimson, as if checking that no one was watching her about to do something bad.

Weiniya picked up her phone, pondered a moment, and sent a message to Zhang Jie.....

Meanwhile, Zhang Jie had already returned to his own company at this time.

He had three purposes for returning.

First, to check on his own mother and old man.

Second, relying on his father's connections, he went to buy two ownerless stars.

After all, his family's company made its fortune selling energy, and as a top-tier old-timer, his father certainly has plenty of connections.

Although he now has money, Zhang Jie still has to spend it all on the essentials.

For an interstellar civilization, money is the most worthless thing.

Third, he must find that leader of the foolish Bo Yi who always messes with his mindset and give him a beating to vent his anger.

If we can't beat the old man, can we still not lay a hand on you and me?

You don't understand a thing about human relations! The boss told you to discipline his son, and you actually went ahead and did it!

Then he wants you to go through a thesis defense—will you do it or not?

The more Zhang Jie thought about it, the angrier he got; now his fists were itching for a fight.

Just then, his phone vibrated—it was a message from Weiniya, the little quail.

Zhang Jie looked puzzled, opened the voice message, and the next moment Yu Xiaomo's arrogant voice came through.

"Expand and thrive! Create glory again! Crush the Alliance! Save Zhang Jie!"

Zhang Jie:?

Zhang Jie didn't believe it, so he picked up the phone again and put it to his ear to listen.

After a moment....

"Create glory again!!!"

Zhang Jie:??

Zhang Jie looked bewildered and sent a question mark to Weiniya.

Soon after, Weiniya suddenly sent a message; Zhang Jie thought it was an explanation, but the next moment he saw a sentence.

"Weizhen Tian (available for commissions): Teacher, can you lend me some money? ~"

"Weizhen Tian (available for commissions): (pathetic. jpg)"

Zhang Jie:???
