Chapter 439: Grow Big and Strong!

As a flying ship emblazoned with the words 'Stellar Logistics' arrived on this planet, an identification device recording your identity information fell into your hand.

By this point, you have fully obtained the status of a Stellar Citizen, but Xiao Jiu does not have this, nor does she need it.

Her position has always been that of an item, a private belonging owned by the Stellar Citizen named Zhang Jie; although you may not think so, this is a rule of the Star Alliance, and it also offers you convenience.

You dare not imagine; if Xiao Jiu also needed a Stellar Citizen's identity, you would have to obtain it in the distant future.

At the same time, you realized that Ship Life in this world has no human rights; they are merely property, and if they lose their pilot, they cannot move an inch in this universe.

For Stellar Citizens, especially those of the Iron Law Star Alliance, they can own two or three, even countless Ship Lives, but each Ship Life has and will have only one pilot.

But for this Small Ship Girl who has gradually become simple, these are not things she should consider.

Finally, on a day that looked promising, you and Xiao Jiu set off....

Get ready to board, human!

The imagined departure was not as grand or sentimental as expected; Xiao Jiu now is full of anticipation.

Looking at the Great Luck Ship Girl parked outside, Zhang Jie smiled helplessly; he still needed to prepare some other things.

For example, money.....

No matter where, money is always lacking....

But fortunately, this place belongs to the territory of the Iron Law Star Alliance, so there is still a certain exchange rate for universal currency, although not much....

These should be enough....

Zhang Jie finally glanced at this place that had accompanied him not long ago; this could be considered the most important transit station in his life.

However, there wasn't much to linger for; Zhang Jie merely wanted to wait a bit longer to see if a human female would appear.

The human female encountered trouble and couldn't come to find him; although that so-called uncle said so, Zhang Jie's heart still held a small expectation.

He looked forward to this unrelated old mother coming to see him, to see his own growth, and to introduce this adorable Small Ship Girl Xiao Jiu to her.

Originally, he was set to depart at that time, but for this unrealistic fantasy, he stubbornly delayed by a week.

Even until just before departure, this fantasy persisted, but in the end he still could not wait for the human female.

Hurry up, human!

Xiao Jiu could no longer wait to undertake her first warp voyage; the urging sounds came one after another.

Zhang Jie last gazed at the horizon, then boarded his own warship.

Are you ready! Driver Mister!

Xiao Jiu for the first time changed her usual address for Zhang Jie, switching to 'Driver Mister'; this is the common sense taught to her by the staff member responsible for her in the laboratory.

Namely: Ship Life should address its owner/manager/guardian/driver/rights holder as 'Driver Mister'.

Perhaps because they were not familiar, or maybe due to some tsundere, Xiao Jiu's address for Zhang Jie became 'human' from the start; later, perhaps because it was easy to say, she never changed it.

And now Xiao Jiu's sudden change of address indeed gave Zhang Jie a feeling of novelty.

Well... prepare to set sail!

Target! Intelligent Machine Star Alliance!

Okay, Driver Mister!

The engine of Great Luck Xiao Jiu burst forth with scorching flames; the entire warship slowly rose, taking off slowly above the Luzhou on this Garbage Star.

Not long after his departure, another warp-capable warship abruptly halted above this planet.

This is an advanced warship from the Iron Law Star Alliance, which ought not to have come to this tiny planet.

The person you are looking for left half an hour ago.

The person tasked with observing Zhang Jie sent her a message; upon hearing the news, she merely let out a faint sigh.

Or are you still late by a step?

Zhang Jie guessed correctly; the human female indeed came to see him, but once again she precisely missed him.

Should we chase after him?

Forget it; as long as he is safe and sound, that's fine.

This trip was originally just to take a distant glance at Zhang Jie; although the goal wasn't achieved, at least the human female is now reassured.

He really is capable...

She of course already knew what Zhang Jie had done, and sincerely felt proud of him.

After the competition for Star Sea hegemony ends, she will be able to bring Zhang Jie back.

That day surely won't be too far off; the only thing to worry about is that she might not be able to find Zhang Jie.

After all, his destination is another Star Alliance.

After experiencing two days of subjective time, with a real-time journey of half a year, you have arrived at the border of another Star Alliance.

Since the location of the scrap planet happens to be not far from the border of the Iron Law Star Alliance, the travel time to the destination used only half a year of real time, which is already relatively short for a voyage.

Warp flight is one of only two ways in the universe capable of breaking light speed, but compared to the transit of super-civilizations, it is still slower by more than a bit; however, for you now it is already sufficient.

Your identity information has been verified; you have successfully entered that planet.

Although this is called the Intelligent Machine Star Alliance, in reality it is still a world dominated by organic matter; it is only because intelligent machine technology is more prevalent, and there is also an alliance of mechanical life, that it is named the Intelligent Machine Alliance.

Are we almost there?

Yeah! Soon!

By the way, human, it is said that this Star Alliance is very fond of ship competitions!

How about it, do you want to go up and play?

Want!

The Small Ship Girl wants to do many things; she not only wants to create other warships, but also to create planets! Create catastrophes!

I don't know why, but after her main body was made into this sturdy appearance, she always wants to find something to create.

Great, I'll take you to play when the time comes.

But for now, you should think about how we can develop a bit on this planet.

Huh?

Xiao Jiu fell silent; to be honest, she's now basically a veteran scavenger, and at times her trash-picking frequency even exceeded Zhang Jie's.

The occasional thrill of scoring a find while scavenging scrap really gets her excited; Xiao Jiu sometimes wonders if she could find another Ship Girl again.

How about...

How about we open a scrap recycling station on this planet?

By then we'll expand big, cover the whole planet with garbage stations, and then open an interstellar recycling station—what do you think!

Zhang Jie:???

This little thing, how can its thinking be so erratic?

But... it actually does have some feasibility?
