Chapter 362: You wouldn't have done something weird with the teacher's body, would you?

Zhang Jie:???

"What the heck? My corpse chunk?"

Lin Ran realized she had misspoken, and with a pah she covered her mouth; her habit of misspeaking still acts up from time to time.

"Cough cough, it's your corpse... body, crystallized."

Lin Ran gave a dry cough twice, smiling foolishly, her cute look not far off from that of the catgirl Lan Baoshi.

And at that moment, a prompt suddenly popped up before Zhang Jie's eyes, leaving him stunned.

"Detected special item: Holy Relic of the Noble Knight"

"Introduction: A noble one's final gift left to the world, gathering spirit energy that could benefit the entire planet, and also the main cause of a certain unfortunate interstellar company's bankruptcy; originally it could never reach a certain person's hands, but now it has deviated from fate's track, and now it has unexpected effects."

Zhang Jie:......

"Hey buddy, are you sure this thing is mine?"

【Definitely, meow! (^ω^)】

Lan Baoshi nodded vigorously, but when she looked at Zhang Jie, her gaze suddenly went blank.

【Not... (thinking)】

【Why are there two Knight Sirs here? (the kitten puzzled)】

"?"

"Ah?"

Zhang Jie was somewhat dazed by her remarks, while Lan Baoshi had already started acting foolish to the point of drooling, and even the back of her head began to faintly show a starry sky....

【This... this is Knight Sir... (drooling)】

【That... that is also Knight Sir... (the kitten thinking)】

【So which of these two is actually Knight Sir?】

Lan Baoshi's left and right brains began to clash, her gaze wandering back and forth between Zhang Jie and his corpse chunk, as if her CPU were about to burn out.

Lan Baoshi is actually still in a rather confused state, after all she's been a disaster for so long; being able to communicate normally now is rare.

"That... Lan Baoshi?"

Seeing Lan Baoshi's head about to overheat, Zhang Jie tried to wake her, but the next moment her action almost electrocuted the two of them.

Only saw Lan Baoshi's round, moist cat pupils rise, she unhesitatingly chose Zhang Jie's corpse chunk between him and it, then swiftly shoved it into her mouth and instantly refined it!

Zhang Jie:!!!

Lin Ran:!!!

"Oi! Stupid cat! You can't eat that!"

Lin Ran anxiously grabbed Lan Baoshi's mouth, constantly digging out, while Zhang Jie, also pretty shocked, hurriedly reached to pull his corpse chunk out.

This is a bad thing disguising as Knight Sir! ((▼ dish ▼)

【Lan Baoshi is going to eat it!!!】

"Ahhh! Zhang Jie! She bit me!"

(Strong chewing sounds....)

In the end, the two still couldn't stop this greedy little cat; Lin Ran watched helplessly as Lan Baoshi swallowed the spirit energy crystal, the kitten's neck stretching out two li.

Fortunately, Zhang Jie reacted quickly, collecting all the corpse chunks before Lan Baoshi could take another bite.

【Ow!】

【You bastard! Where did you run off to!】

【Don't let Lan Baoshi find you again!】

Zhang Jie broke into a sweat, this cat is kinda stupid....

"Lin Ran, after she finishes her meal later, take her to get her intelligence checked...."

"Mm-hmm, I also think...."

Afterwards, after the little cat was completely worn out from eating, Zhang Jie then took her by the neck to the Alliance Research Institute.

Although Lan Baoshi was extremely reluctant, under Zhang Jie's coaxing and deceit she was still obediently brought to the research institute for a physical check.

And when Zhang Jie finally had some alone time, he took out his corpse chunk.... no, the spirit energy crystal formed from his own body.

"If I remember correctly, the previous special item should have been the coin Xiao Mo gave me."

"I still haven't figured out what the last one did, and now here comes... uh, a Knight's relic?"

Zhang Jie examined its description again, and the line "also the main cause of a certain unfortunate interstellar company's bankruptcy" caught his particular attention.

"Simulator, what is this? Explain, explain."

Zhang Jie recalled that there was such a description in the Interstellar Era History.

That is, when that whatever company was doing experiments, it almost went bankrupt.

Could this be related to him?

"Explanation: Matter and energy are conserved; while you observe the precepts, that is the moment you absorb spirit energy."

"And due to the nature of spirit energy transmission, they can only control the total amount emitted, not the amount dispensed per world, which is why they've always maintained spirit energy output at high cost."

"But the main reason is that, because of you, an extremely terrifying disaster has been brought about; this is the main cause."

"Cough cough.... So that's how it is."

"Spirit energy really is amazing."

"So what's the use of this thing, exactly?"

"Answer: As an item left over from your previous simulation, it usually has some miraculous effects; I can't disclose exactly what they are, but you could try absorbing the spirit energy inside—maybe you'll get a different harvest."

"Absorb?"

Zhang Jie pondered for a moment; he actually doesn't know much about spirit energy, but there are plenty of civilizations in the Star Sea that use spirit energy technology, so he could ask them.

As for absorbing.... it's mainly because Zhang Jie simply can't absorb spiritual energy, ah; in the previous simulation, his spiritual energy just popped out of nowhere, it was all given by the precepts—how would he know anything about absorbing?

Moreover, spiritual energy also has a certain corrosive nature; if used rashly, Zhang Jie might end up turning into a pile of corpses....

By then, the one crying won't just be himself....

"Well.... I can just ask Weiniya."

"By the way, if the items passed down from each simulation always have mysterious effects, then Lin Ran's spear should have one too, right?"

"Also, Weiniya, ask her if she knows where my corpse is; earlier I heard her say she became an assassin just to revive me."

Saying it, doing it, Zhang Jie directly sent a message to Weiniya.

Weizhen Tian (moving bricks, working....): You finally paid attention to me, teacher!

Weizhen Tian (moving bricks, working....): You haven't messaged me for twelve hours already!

Zhang Jie:......

"This kid, let's take her out to play another day."

"Look at how the kid is holding it in."

Afterwards, Zhang Jie asked Weiniya to handle matters concerning the spiritual energy civilization, and she readily agreed.

However, when Zhang Jie inquired about the whereabouts of his corpse, Weiniya suddenly started to hem and haw.

Meanwhile, Weiniya, looking at the message Zhang Jie sent, panicked inwardly.

Back when she cremated Zhang Jie's body, she never thought about all that, ah!

Who would've thought the main person himself would come asking for his own corpse, ah!

Zhang Jie:?

Zhang Jie: Little Weiniya, you wouldn't have done something weird with the teacher's body, would you?

(Ginseng's beep: Don't forget there's also the little aunt~)
