Chapter 437: You idiot!!! Meow!!!

Because of your little prank, a certain small ship girl got a bit riled up, Bang Bang gave you two punches, and you could only stay put and behave.

Actually, this method isn't difficult; while remodeling Xiao Jiu's hull, you also came into contact with her most core thing, namely her Logic Core.

You tinkered with it a bit, allowing you to manually control the tail sound of Xiao Jiu's speech and even make her let out a 'meow' on purpose; these are just trivial little tricks.

However, every time you do this to Xiao Jiu, although she appears shy and angry on the surface, you always feel she doesn't really reject your actions; looking at her, she seems to even enjoy it a bit....

Well, all this is just your speculation; you still have a lot to do, and your daily interactions with Xiao Jiu are merely a simple adjustment in life.

Now you already have the ability to leave the planet, but you still need to think more about the fuel issue.

Xiao Jiu?

Xiao Jiu was currently lying on the table, savoring her favorite cake, when a sudden thought made her blurt out a response.

What the hell, meow!

Xiao Jiu's face suddenly turned red, while Zhang Jie suddenly gave her a strange look.

Something's off!

He, Zhang Jie, clearly didn't press the button that represents a cat's meow, so why did Xiao Jiu let out a meow?

No way!

Look... look at what, meow!

It's all your doing!

Xiao Jiu stuck out her neck and chattered, looking stubborn, but she was actually completely flushed....

But... I didn't press it?

How would I know! Meow!

To match what she said, Xiao Jiu deliberately added a meow after her last word.

Now it's Zhang Jie's turn to be a bit at a loss.

Can't....

Zhang Jie looked at Xiao Jiu with utter confusion, repeatedly pressing a button that squeaked.

Could this thing actually be broken?

Meow meow meow!

You idiotic human!!! Don't press anymore!!!

Zhang Jie was struck on the thigh by Xiao Jiu's intentional heavy punch, instantly turning Old Zhang into an old sister-in-law, and the room erupted into chaos.

Xiao Jiu's size increased, her headlights grew larger, and her strength naturally increased as well; that punch could directly give Zhang Jie an internal eight, as Xiao Jiu chased him around, striking him with a punch and a meow each time, the scene was both chaotic and awkward.

The old man who came to deliver something to Zhang Jie also saw this scene and was quite surprised, shaking his head.

These youngsters nowadays really play fancy.

Whoa!!! Xiao Jiu! Stop hitting!

Zhang Jie approached the old man in an extremely awkward posture, while Xiao Jiu also stopped chasing his steps, puffing her cheeks as she looked at his back.

It's settled; the higher-ups should also know how ridiculous the conditions you proposed are, saying they'll reconsider, so the matter of Space Folding Technology can be put aside for now.

Zhang Jie nodded; if possible, he doesn't want to hand over the Space Folding Technology, not to mention its difficulty, just its value is far beyond what an ID card could compare to.

He wants to keep this technology until the very end, only attempting to hand it over when there's truly no other choice.

But as things stand now, those so-called higher-ups haven't reached that hopeless point, and the complete Space Folding Technology previously mentioned has become a Space Application Enlightenment Technology.

Simply put, as long as Zhang Jie makes a breakthrough in the intangible aspect of space, letting them truly grasp the concept of space, then Zhang Jie passes!

So....

So hey kid, the path truly belonging to you, the starry sky truly belonging to you, is finally about to unfold.

Looking at Zhang Jie beside him, the old man felt relief welling up; he was very grateful that he hadn't misjudged that day, finding a gem hidden among the junk.

Before you go, at least let me repay you, old man.

After all you've helped me, if you don't put forward some request, I couldn't rest easy.

Eh! Before you leave, just leave those few melons and dates you have on you.

Alright, then I'll earn a bit more when the time comes.

Zhang Jie smiled; this long-held wish of his finally came to rest at this moment, and he would soon, soon be able to truly roam the starry sky.

He wants to see black holes, examine that spacetime singularity's twist, look at neutron stars, see if the universe's top might suddenly flip, he also wants to look at gas giants, study white dwarfs, observe red giants; the universe is so vast, he fears he won't be able to see it all in his lifetime.

But it's fine; with Xiao Jiu this ship girl by his side, his journey will far from be lonely.

Zhang Jie full of anticipation, his finger involuntarily pressed the 'Xiao Jiu Meow Meow Remote' once more, and immediately a shocking, unexpected meow came from behind.

You idiot!!!! Meow!!!!

That final 'meow' was shouted with extra force; after all, it's still your own ship girl, this time you lost to her fists, helpless, you can only hand over this strange device.

'You really gave it to me, you human! No taking it back!' Xiao Jiu chattered with her small mouth, but you just firmly nodded, you really don't want to experience being struck hard on the outer thigh again.

In the last few months of planning your departure, you hand-cranked a small reactor to charge Xiao Jiu; although it leaked a bit, fortunately you and Xiao Jiu aren't afraid of radiation, and there are no humans around, so Xiao Jiu remained as you imagined, fully charged.

However, without Xiao Jiu's meow meow meow companionship, you always feel like you've lost a lot of motivation; cough, maybe you're getting a bit greedy, but you really do like this!

You and Xiao Jiu ultimately chose the Star Alliance, which appears the weakest and most unworldly, as your next stop; who knows if this time you'll still encounter a benefactor like that old man.

You and Xiao Jiu finally experienced everything related to Luzhou; Xiao Jiu also tasted a food completely unlike cake, and only then did you realize that the arrogant, proud Xiao Jiu could actually be knocked down by a plain ordinary cup of coffee.....

'Coffee attacked me!' Xiao Jiu said that, and you also came to know another of her traits: she detests bitterness, to the point that even a hint is unacceptable.

Pampering your own ship girl, you immediately bought a large crate of coffee to torment Xiao Jiu; but just a week before you planned to leave here, that distant female human from the horizon hastily learned of this and is now fuming.

(Exploding on the spot, I fell asleep halfway through writing, slept until the sun was high....)
