Chapter 438: On the Eve of Departure

What else is there that I don't know!

What right do you have! What right do you have to decide behind my back!

Iron Law Star Alliance, on a certain prosperous capital star, a human female is currently flying into a rage.

She eventually still found out what the other party had done; as the last person she trusted in this family, the human female found it hard to accept the other party's unilateral decision.

Tell him! Even if I were here, I would make the same decision as you!

What makes you think I would agree with your decision!

I thought I could see Zhang Jie, but instead I got my elder brother's unilateral sending away of him, causing the human female to become hysterical, constantly questioning him.

And a certain human male, while appearing calm and carefree on the surface, was actually already panicking inside.

He knew that his younger sister hadn't on the spot chopped him into minced meat, simply because he hadn't given Zhang Jie a hard time; otherwise....

Calm down!

Now the power structure of the Star Alliance is being reshuffled; your own identity is extremely sensitive—don't you know that?

You're already busy to the point of not having time to touch the ground, licking blood from the blade every day—think carefully whether you really have the ability to protect him!

When the last word fell, the atmosphere in the room gradually sank into silence, and the human female stood there dazed.

After a while, a muffled voice gradually sounded.

You're right....

I can't protect him......

I'm just....

She merely, upon learning that Zhang Jie was still alive—not only alive but doing very well—even gained a Ship Life that seemed to cling to him.

Such joy quickly overwhelmed her mind, and in the next moment, her elder brother's unilateral decision pulled her off a cliff, leaving her unable to accept it for a while.

And now, she has calmed down.

Moreover, I don't know what you're anxious about.

I gave him the technology for spatial folding and Force Field Shield, believing that with that child's intelligence, he will soon master them.

By then, besides him courting death, who could easily kill him?

That's exactly right; if Zhang Jie now deploys a Force Field Shield, even if Xiao Jiu went all out to slash him, it would be useless, let alone firearms.

Well, but if it's that kind of powerful civilization's weapon, then that's another matter.

I understand....

I will end all this as soon as possible.

You wait......

Without waiting for him to finish, the human female had already turned and left, as if she had made some kind of resolution.

Sigh.... This matter has become a mess.

But in the end the result is good, so he has nothing to worry about.

Well... when is that little guy leaving?

He thought of Zhang Jie again, recalling what he had investigated; the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he immediately took out his communication device to start browsing.

It's a shame that such a person of outstanding talent has such a background, unable to have a decent learning environment; otherwise....

Even human males think that Zhang Jie could have the ability to compete for leadership of the Star Sea.

Indeed, he really has talent.

I hope this little guy can make a name for himself....

On the other side, on Garbage Star, Zhang Jie is making the final preparations to leave this place.

Nothing else—just checking his luggage, checking Xiao Jiu, then bidding farewell to those he knows.

Among them, of course, is that old man; to thank this noble person, Zhang Jie specially prepared a Mecha design with a Position Shield, as long as that old man doesn't lose his mind, guaranteeing him a lifetime of fine food and drink is no problem.

Wow, this thing is awesome!

The little fox looking on was very satisfied with Zhang Jie's pre-departure gift.

Sigh, Grandpa, this departure might be forever.

Get lost! What are you thinking!

The old man gave him a pat and said cheerfully.

Grandpa me, I still have at least a hundred years left.

When you've made a name for yourself out there, just come back and take a look at me whenever you have time!

The old man laughed brightly; Zhang Jie's mouth twitched, thinking he had been worrying needlessly about him.

After seeing the old man off, not far away, a truck slowly approached, and in front of it was Xiao Jiu, this little Ship Girl.

Human!

The truck's headlights flickered, making Zhang Jie's eyes hurt.

I've got a truckload of cakes delivered; want to help me load them?

Zhang Jie looked at that huge truck, his mouth twitching; Xiao Jiu's meaning—could it be that she wants him to load that whole truckload of cakes onto it?

Xiao Jiu said, ignoring Zhang Jie's speechless expression, found an open space on her own, and then unfolded her ship body.

Come on, human!

Not you....

Zhang Jie had no recourse; relying on him alone, he wouldn't be able to move until the year of the monkey and horse month.

Or else hire some Wasteland Dwellers to help with the moving....

After a busy day, you finally loaded all of Xiao Jiu's rations into her hull; deep into the night, under the workshop's bright lights, you stared at Xiao Jiu's main body in a daze.

By the way, Xiao Jiu.

?

Xiao Jiu's projection appeared beside Zhang Jie, looking at him quizzically.

Don't you feel that your ship looks just like that big truck over there?

???

Xiao Jiu's projection glanced at her own hull, then turned to look at the big truck beside her.

Apart from the wings and engine she carries, she is practically identical to that big truck!!!

No, you're wrong; they're not alike at all.

Zhang Jie:...

He saw Xiao Jiu's stubbornness; this guy's eyes were almost rolling to the sky, and no matter what Zhang Jie said, she just stubbornly refused to admit it.

They clearly look alike....

Zhang Jie could already imagine Xiao Jiu churning out people like a big truck.

This was the second-to-last night they stayed here; the night was beautiful, with green belts around, and this tranquility made Zhang Jie feel at ease.

The planet they were headed to was a place whose environment closely resembled Luzhou's, lacking both the modern feel of a fully urbanized planet and the dilapidated air of a wasteland planet; everything felt just right.

So, the only thing to worry about was where he would go to scavenge trash when he got there....

As a veteran scavenger, picking up trash is both his job and his hobby, just like Xiao Jiu—who knows, he might someday find something good.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Zhang Jie looked at the lively, bouncing Xiao Jiu beside him, a faint smile curling his lips.

So it was decided.

He would remodel Xiao Jiu into the strongest Ship Girl!

Just like the massive ship that once came to the heavens and covered the whole sky!
