Chapter 410: Pervert!

Just like that, Xiao Jiu became your temporary companion; you were very curious about her sudden awakening, but Xiao Jiu seemed unwilling to say much about her own background.

'I'm nothing but a discarded piece of junk,' Xiao Jiu said after pondering for a long time; it seems her past wasn't pleasant.

As for you, although your shelter was destroyed and the organic synthesizer and water purifier you relied on can no longer be used, life must go on, so you now need to consider survival issues like everyone else.

On the wasteland, the most valuable things are food and water; these two precious resources can be stably obtained only in Feitu City, so you need to sell some useful items to exchange for them.

Compared with directly exchanging electricity for organic matter before, this method is extremely troublesome, and the food quality is surely not as good as before, but for the sake of living you have to silently endure this hardship, and you still have to wait for the human female to return.

However, compared to before, the only thing that makes you less miserable is the Xiao Jiu you picked up; she is far more fun than you imagined.

As a humanoid lifeform just turned four years old, Xiao Jiu exudes a weariness unique to office workers, along with a maturity completely unbecoming of her age.

But actually, these are merely her poor imitation of the word 'mature' based on her database; she seems to think only this way can she avoid being looked down upon and show she has value.

This is a very childish behavior, also matching her current mental capacity; she is like a small hedgehog with soft spines, afraid of hurting others and afraid of being hurt, which reminds Zhang Jie of himself when he used to interact with the human female.

However, Xiao Jiu really loves to slack off; she doesn't like to cause trouble for others, nor does she want others to bother her, as long as she has a place to lie down where the wind doesn't blow and the rain doesn't leak, that's perfect for her.

Of course she doesn't need to eat; for her, eating is possible but not necessary— that unknown source of strong radiation metal is enough for her daily loafing, and as for the food on the wasteland, in her words it just tastes like shit; she'd rather drop dead on the spot than eat it.

But as an organic creature, you can't do that; even if it's feces, to survive you have to swallow it, and moreover, if you spend a little more money you can still get quite a bit of tasty food, although it's all just technology and tough talk....

But for you, an extraterrestrial entity, this is nothing but a piece of crap; strong radiation doesn't affect you at all, let alone this.

Age fourteen: in your daily interactions with Xiao Jiu, you notice she always likes to sneak a glance at you when she's slacking off, and after you spot her she quickly averts her gaze, making you constantly feel a chill on your buttocks.

You protest to Xiao Jiu, but she always just pouts and says something like 'Who would want to look at your butt?' yet she continues to look anyway, unchanged, leaving you helpless but with no recourse.

The new shelter has been built, chosen by Zhang Jie in a more hidden spot, about two kilometers from the original shelter.

The new shelter is larger, safer, and sturdier than the old one, and Xiao Jiu's help is indispensable.

Although she truly loves to slack off, when building the shelter she would help Zhang Jie quite a bit on the pretext that she also needs a place to live.

Even the unfinished small spaceship in the workshop was pulled over by her....

As a humanoid lifeform, Zhang Jie might have once underestimated her combat ability; the current Xiao Jiu may look tiny, but in fact a single punch could turn Old Zhang into minced meat without any problem.

Do you understand? It's just that little Xiao Jiu, one person, personally dragging that huge warship two kilometers....

Zhang Jie was numb; he had previously heard the human female say how awesome humanoid lifeforms are— they can transform into warships, even merge warships into their bodies, making their single combat power invincible and such.

Now he believes it....

Xiao Jiu, do you want to eat something delicious?

Xiao Jiu, curled up in the soft blanket, poked her head out, looked at the cake made of technology and tough talk in Zhang Jie's hand, and lazily opened her mouth.

Eh, this bastard can't even be bothered to move his hand....

Zhang Jie felt helpless; ever since Xiao Jiu demanded a big bed of soft blankets as payment for helping build the shelter, she has become increasingly lazy.

Now she spends all day lounging on that bed, to the point that someone who doesn't know might think she's laying eggs.

Zhang Jie brought a bite of cake to Xiao Jiu's mouth; she sniffed it suspiciously like a little dog before finally putting it in her mouth.

Is it good?

So-so.

Xiao Jiu chewed and chewed, the inferior tech cream and the industrially sweet saccharine that tastes overly sugary.

On the wasteland, this counts as a rare luxury....

Xiao Jiu opened her mouth again, narrowed her eyes, and waited for Zhang Jie to feed her.

Saying she doesn't like it, yet her mouth honestly opened up— you little rascal, Xiao Jiu.

Zhang Jie kept feeding cake into the mouth of the insincere Xiao Jiu; finally, at the last bite, Old Zhang revealed his true intention.

"Xiao Jiu, after you finish the cake, you have to work."

While savoring the cake, Xiao Jiu suddenly froze, feeling that the cake in her mouth was no longer fragrant.

This human in front of her actually wants her to work!

Impossible!

Xiao Jiu immediately covered herself with the blanket, while Zhang Jie seemed to have anticipated this, hehehed with a smile, his big hand instantly slipped into the blanket, grabbed her feet, and thrust them sharply toward the center.

!!!

Xiao Jiu shot straight up, literally flying in the physical sense.

"Soul‑damn!!!"

"What are you doing?!"

Xiao Jiu fell back onto the bed, kicked Zhang Jie away with one foot, curled up with her little blanket in the corner of the wall, as if Zhang Jie were some terrifying monster.

"Pervert!"

Zhang Jie:?

"Where's the perversion?"

Xiao Jiu's brain crashed for a moment, frantically searching her database for something, then she angrily spat out another sentence.

"No matter! You're just a pervert!"

Zhang Jie was speechless; he pulled out another cake from behind him— this thing is expensive, requiring the sale of nearly two tons of scrap iron to obtain, considered a luxury only the upper class in the city can afford.

"Here, have another one; after you finish it, you have to help me work."

"Mmm......"

"Hmph!"

(Damn, everyone came to look today; yesterday I submitted for review, today I found out the reason for the review rejection was the appearance of the two characters 'nige', I really have no recourse).
