Chapter 429: It's so sensitive, hey!

Ship Life is an extremely miraculous species; its interior not only has a precision system comparable to organic life, but also possesses incredibly strong self-repair capabilities and self-adaptability.

They can use space-folding technology to precisely convert each component of the ship into part of themselves, which is almost unimaginable.

Therefore, even the repair technology concerning Humanoid Lifeforms is an extremely difficult field of study; even you would need to study it for a long time.

Last time, you couldn't bear to disappoint Xiao Jiu, so you told her you had an idea, but this was merely a stopgap measure; you for the first time disassembled part of Xiao Jiu's body....

Wow....

Really amazing....

Zhang Jie was currently lying on Xiao Jiu's belly, carefully examining the creations inside.

Annoying....

Hurry up and look...

Cough cough....

It wasn't the imagined gutting; Xiao Jiu's little belly was like a window. Zhang Jie had tried to pry it open with his bare hands before, but aside from getting kicked by Xiao Jiu, nothing happened.

Now, Old Zhang, having mastered the correct method, finally opened Xiao Jiu's belly.

What came into view was a combination of various tiny mechanical organs and flesh, with a small stomach in the center.

Zhang Jie, out of curiosity, poked it twice with his hand, immediately eliciting a scream from Xiao Jiu.

Soul-less! What are you doing, human!!!

It's so sensitive!

Zhang Jie, face full of curiosity, reached out and poked twice again; only to see the small stomach twitch twice, then a stream of green mucus shot out, smearing his face.

Cough.... spit....

Xiao Jiu, why do you still have this function?

I said no touching!

Okay okay okay....

Zhang Jie felt helpless; who knew Xiao Jiu could control her little stomach to launch an attack on him.

By the way, I recall reading here that there is a method to shield the senses of Humanoid Lifeforms.

Zhang Jie kept flipping through the materials, but his hands were not honest, rummaging around in Xiao Jiu's belly, as if searching for some switch.

This really made Xiao Jiu suffer; in order to clearly know her internal problems, whether it was a warship-form Ship Life or a humanoid-form Ship Life, both could sense their internal conditions.

But Xiao Jiu, after all, is an incomplete little thing; the senses that ordinary Ship Lives can shut off at any time are impossible for her.

Human.... how are you still learning on the spot!

What you're doing makes me really scared!

Don't be afraid! It won't break.

Listening to Zhang Jie's wolfish words, Xiao Jiu could only helplessly roll her eyes, but the slippery, sticky, itchy sensation in her belly constantly made it hard for her to calm down.

Really......

Humans are so fussy, so sensitive!

Yah!!!

Zhang Jie didn't know what he had touched again that he shouldn't have; he only heard Xiao Jiu utter a 'ya', and before he could react, a small foot wearing a white sock slammed heavily onto his face.

Our Old Zhang was directly flung away from the spot.....

Human! Why are you grabbing my spine!!!

Human!

Human?

Xiao Jiu looked at her own foot; that kick just now was purely instinctual.

She wouldn't really have kicked Zhang Jie to death with one foot, would she?

Human waaaah!!!

It's a pity you weren't kicked to death by Xiao Jiu's foot, but you're not much better off; after resting half a day, you once again began researching Xiao Jiu's body.

I have to say, Humanoid Warship Life is truly miraculous, so miraculous that one can't even imagine it being a technological creation.

Compared to the imaginability of technological creations, the existence of Humanoid Life is more like a fantastical creature, a product that hardly seems like a technological creation.

But as the saying goes, the end of science is something even more magical; thinking this way, it's not hard to accept.

And the result afterward is also quite obvious: with your level, you basically couldn't fix Xiao Jiu; after fumbling around for half a day, you finally managed to get a rough grasp of her body, during which you certainly didn't get kicked a few times.

Cough, although you got kicked, it's undeniable that Xiao Jiu's feet are indeed soft and fragrant; you're not a pervert, this is just an honest thought!

Afterward, things are also quite clear: you need to continue studying this profound subject and constantly practice on Xiao Jiu; it looks like the days ahead for a certain little Ship Girl won't be easy.

One afternoon in Luzhou, you were as usual studying the repair technology of Ship Life......

Luzhou's sunlight slanted into a small workshop; Zhang Jie and Xiao Jiu lived here. Although the environment is a bit shabby, compared to Feitu above, it's already much better.

Moreover, Xiao Jiu can now easily buy tasty food; you should know she is capable of sleeping an entire year in a scrap heap as a Ship Life.

The two of them don't have Luzhou permanent residency permits, but it's essentially no different.

Not to mention Zhang Jie, even those Luzhou figures with a bit of status don't have permanent residency permits.

As for those truly important figures, some of them hold Stellar Citizen identities, which are not the same as these black households of theirs.

Zhang Jie looked at those dense tiny characters until his eyes blurred, then turned his head to glance at Xiao Jiu, who was happily eating cake with a blissful face, and gave her an indulgent smile.

Delicious, Xiao Jiu?

Mm! Good!

Zhang Jie put down the materials in his hand, took out two big bills from his pocket, and handed them to Xiao Jiu.

If it's good, buy some more and bring one for me to try.

Studying things inevitably consumes a lot of mental energy, and now his brain truly needs some high-calorie food to replenish.

Nice pinch!

Xiao Jiu happily took the banknote and vanished with a whoosh.

Zhang Jie shook his head, laughing helplessly; with such a little companion by his side, he probably wouldn't get tired no matter what he did.

For some reason, he again thought of the human female; back then, when she was looking at him, was she also thinking the same way?

He stopped reminiscing, and Zhang Jie continued examining the documents in his hand.

But what arrived afterward wasn't an enthusiastic Xiao Jiu—it was a utterly panicked Xiao Jiu.

With a blast that rang across the heavens, Xiao Jiu came running back, carrying two huge bags of cake.

Human!

We gotta run!

Heavenly disaster! It's a heavenly disaster!!

Heavenly disaster?

Zhang Jie didn't show fear like Xiao Jiu; instead, he felt a bit curious.

The only heavenly disaster he had ever seen before was the radiation beast that could be killed with ordinary earthen weapons.

Where? Let me have a look.

What are you looking at? Hurry up and run!!!

The next instant, with a crackle, a monster drenched in blood-red plummeted before his eyes.

That..... was an adult Blood Calamity!
