Chapter 441: I Want to Pick Up Trash!

Intelligent Machine Star Alliance, a faction leaning toward neutrality and extremely easygoing.

Iron Law Star Alliance demands joint cooperation, to control the Star Sea and resist natural disasters.

They agreed, and said they would not compete for the Star Sea Commander, would fully cooperate with the other side, but only on the condition of not interfering in their internal thought trends.

As for their internal thought trends, naturally they advocate competition, entertainment, peace, and such things.

Zhang Jie didn't understand these either; he only knew that the intelligent machine fighting competition and ship competition here were quite sophisticated, and at least the people here seemed to enjoy watching them.

So, this competition, similar to violent warships, named the Free Ship Speed Race, is where Xiao Jiu can show her skills and also where he earns his first pot of gold.

The competition does not prohibit Ship Life from participating, but generally no one does that.

After all, Ship Life is a technology of the Iron Law Star Alliance, which is not available here; each Ship Life is a precious little thing, and if it were sent to compete and got damaged, what would we do?

But Zhang Jie isn't afraid; Xiao Jiu has the Force Field Shield he installed for her, its defensive power is already excellent, and moreover that thin Force Field Shield has been deliberately reinforced by Zhang Jie several times, now it's surely hard enough.

With such protection on her, how could Xiao Jiu possibly have any trouble?

Zhang Jie specifically inquired about the configuration of the competition's flying ship; in the remote star region's small locality, the configuration is not very good.

But Xiao Jiu became quite nervous; while she seemed indifferent when registering for the competition, on the eve of the match she was so nervous she couldn't even read novels.

Despite Zhang Jie repeatedly comforting her, Xiao Jiu just couldn't calm down, always afraid someone would drive a ship and ram her.

Just thinking about that makes her butt hurt.

So.....

So when the race came, Xiao Jiu simply took off with an ejection start, directly turning into a Red Big Transport, and forcibly carved out a wide path on the racecourse....

Xiao Jiu was driving the ship with her eyes closed, and the other drivers were also driving with their eyes closed....

A series of collision sounds rang out on the scene, gunfire surged, countless ship parts scattered across the sky, and a big transport ship broke through completely.

After one lap, there was not a single ship left on the entire track; who could have thought that a good, exciting violent warship race would actually be completely flown over by a big transport?

It wasn't that these racers didn't resist; many ran bombings on Xiao Jiu's hull, and aside from causing her a few screams, nothing happened—instead it made her speed even more terrifying.

"Cough.... Xiao Jiu, stop driving, the race is over."

"?"

"Ah?"

The big transport ship slowly came to a stop; around there were no other ships left, and in the distance the spectator stands floating in the air burst into waves of cheers, after which Xiao Jiu finally came to her senses.

"Did I win?"

"Otherwise, look at what you've smashed into other ships."

Xiao Jiu looked down and saw the ground of the track littered with countless ships, and many tiny figures repairing those ships; those resentful gazes made a chill run down Xiao Jiu's back.

"Then... then can we get paid?"

"Right, not only can we get paid, I also had people place bets."

"Great!"

"The race was an upset, and this competition isn't some minor event; it's this week's group selection trial. You and Xiao Jiu earned a fair amount of money, and with money Xiao Jiu's pocket money also increased, which also made her start to get excited."

"With money you can buy more novels and comics, eat more good things, Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up, and she clamored to participate in the second race."

"You had originally planned to stop here, after all the startup funds are already enough, but you can't resist the Small Ship Girl wanting more pocket money, so you can only continue to compete."

"And Xiao Jiu in the second race is completely different from before; from the first time's cute Small Ship Girl, she has totally turned into an Ultimate Big Transport, chasing and biting other ships like a mad dog."

"As expected, you also won the second race; aside from Xiao Jiu, no one else advanced...."

"You've never seen Xiao Jiu laugh so perversely; she seems to have awakened some extraordinary attribute...."

"I estimate that in the future the Small Ship Girl's self-introduction could be written like this: My name is Xiao Jiu, I love desserts, novels, comics, and also creating people!"

"Then....."

"Then you were persuaded to withdraw by the organizers, who said the reason was excessive violence, causing the race to have no highlights, disrupting the race's rhythm; they had no choice but to clear you out, and gave you a generous compensation."

"Upon hearing this news, Xiao Jiu immediately bared her teeth and loudly cursed the dark dealings and unfairness, but after learning her pocket money had doubled she directly did an on-the-spot face change, and then happily went to read her little comics."

"Helplessly, the fact that your own Ship Girl seems to have turned 'yellow' is so helpless for you; it looks like you need to find time to throw away all her yellow novels! No matter how this Small Ship Girl cries and fusses, you won't go soft."

"But now is not the time to talk about that; the most important thing is that you already have the first startup fund, and you can finally open the scrap recycling station you imagined!"

"After pulling strings, you successfully took over a scrap recycling station that was being transferred, and the reason for this station's transfer is actually that the original owner didn't want to continue."

"Saying they really couldn't tolerate their own job, nor want to deal with scrap anymore, having saved enough money, they said they wanted to welcome a new life."

"Upon hearing this news, you somewhat dumbfoundedly laughed, which reminded you of a joke told by a human female earlier."

"You remember the content clearly: it said there was a street interview, asking a man what he would do if given two hundred thousand."

"The man said he wanted to open a garbage dump...."

"Saying give him five hundred thousand, what would he do? He said he'd save the money, put away three hundred thousand, and then...."

"Open a garbage dump..."

"Finally they asked him what he would do if given one million."

"The man said, travel and enjoy, eat drink play, spending only twenty thousand left, and then...."

"Open a garbage dump..."

"This makes you inevitably feel that the person in that joke is like you.... You've put in such great effort, building flying ships, seeking Stellar Citizen status, and in the end you're just changing planets to continue picking up trash...."

"You are quite speechless, suddenly feeling your choice might not be that good.... When Xiao Jiu found out, the mischievous Small Ship Girl mercilessly mocked you."

"Then you pressed her and together you picked up trash...."

"However, in short, the scrap recycling station is considered fully opened; next you need to develop gradually, but you also have a pretty good future plan!"

"You need to develop to picking up trash on the natural disaster battlefield!"
