Chapter 459: Zhang Jie Found a Different Timeline

As the iron fist struck towards the opponent, Zhang Jie's young body gradually turned into his real-life appearance at some point, which is the materialization of his will and spirit.

The stronger Zhang Jie is in reality, the stronger he is in the spiritual world.

One punch sent the Wasteland Dweller's feces flying.

Then, with a shrill scream, more and more black substance filled this place, turning into neckless humanoid monsters.

They had well-proportioned bodies, their claws extraordinarily long, except for some pointed tips on their heads.

It seems they got angry, wanting to devour Zhang Jie by sheer numbers.

"Tui! Come on! Kill me!"

Zhang Jie was arrogant to the extreme; the Nightmares understood his provocation, the pointed-headed ones shrieked and charged at him.

The human female sat collapsed behind Zhang Jie, her eyes filled with terror as she stared at the scene before her, not understanding what had happened.

All that could be seen was Zhang Jie alone, relying on his fists, brutally fighting his way through the Nightmare horde.

They were completely unable to infect Zhang Jie with the mental virus; his spirit was like a thick tungsten plate, and the Nightmares could not affect this extremely lucid human at all.

They let out angry roars, but in the next moment the strong Old Zhang seized their necks.

For some reason, in this world he became unusually irritable, possibly because the human female was about to be harmed, or perhaps he had simply gone mad.

In short, every one of those pointy-headed Nightmares was smashed by Zhang Jie into mincemeat.

"Give him a good beating…"

"I suppose I've also fulfilled Qiong's request…"

"Little did they know, Qiong's 'give him a beating' was just an exaggeration; the real meaning was to have Zhang Jie properly prepare to be beaten."

"But Zhang Jie… really did give the Nightmares a beating…"

"Feeling the incredibly real sensation within his body, Zhang Jie looked around at everything."

"Incredibly real, incredibly familiar."

"What a miraculous place."

"Zhang Jie developed an intense interest in this place; if he could, he wanted to accomplish something great here!"

"But for now, he wants to relive the time spent with the human female."

"Even if she is false…. "

"Mom?"

"Afterward, in this Dream Realm, you built a warship with the human female, and before that warship arrived at your planet, you took the human female away from this Garbage Star."

"Everything, everything, has taken a completely different road, embarked on a road that could not have happened, and all this is because the future you returned, and you stepped onto a completely different timeline."

"You now understand why Xiao Jiu likes reading those rebirth stories that make her eyes glaze over; it's indeed interesting, being able to change all this is indeed a very captivating point."

"Later, you arrived at the junk star where Xiao Jiu first saw you arrive, except this time the human female accompanied you."

"You developed with incredible speed; soon you successfully reached the pinnacle of power in Luzhou, enjoying… cough, the garbage of the whole city!"

"And you calculated the days when little Xiao Jiu might arrive, returning to that radiation-filled Garbage Star to search, but found nothing at all."

"Whether in time, inside a Treasure Chest, or in someone else's Shelter, there is no trace of Xiao Jiu; she has vanished from this timeline, no matter how you inquire or search in her original birthplace, you cannot find any evidence she ever existed."

"This world truly has no Xiao Jiu; could this also be the Nightmares' script?"

"Angry you casually snatched a pointy-headed Nightmare from the nearby space, and those poised to attack were pulled out by you and given another beating."

"As the saying goes, in a dream, only those unaware they are dreaming can keep dreaming, while the lucid awaken quickly; this was proved next, as you anticipated the beautiful future, the whole wonderful dream came to an abrupt end."

"You woke up…"

Another morning, Zhang Jie slowly opened his eyes; with a moment of post-waking confusion, he gradually recalled what happened in the dream, and a feeling of lost longing spread through him. A dream without results easily makes one feel that way.

When Zhang Jie truly woke up, looking back at a group that began to blur, is this the nature of the Dream Realm?

He really ought to study this.

This time, he took good care of the human female, and she did not do anything she didn't want to.

But in this dream, there is no Xiao Jiu, and Zhang Jie doesn't know whether this dream counts as a good possibility.

Fortunately, reality is not the Dream Realm, and the Dream Realm is not reality. A sense of relief welled up again.

"Humans!!!"

Just as he thought of a certain little dog Ship Girl, she slammed the door with a thunderous bang, boom boom boom.

But without Zhang Jie needing to open the door for her, Xiao Jiu burst in flying, tackling him with a Mount Tai pressure; instantly, all regret, sorrow, and unreality vanished.

"Cough cough cough… what are you doing, Xiao Jiu…"

"That silly peach said she's going to compete today, and I and Qiong also want to go watch!"

Oh right, today Xiao Jiu and Qiong are supposed to accompany me picking up trash, but these two little rascals want to go out and play.

"No problem, go ahead."

Zhang Jie intends to build a fully automatic claw vehicle that dumps trash into the antimatter reactor; trash collectors can waste time picking up trash, but must not waste time hauling it.

So today, the entire junkyard has only him working.

"Great!"

"You're not going, human?"

"Well, I still have things to do."

"Then… that's fine."

"I made you breakfast, human!"

Xiao Jiu ran off happily, leaving only Qiong standing at the doorway, looking curiously at Zhang Jie.

"It seems you won in the dream."

"Yeah… I followed your request and personally gave them a beating."

Qiong:?

Qiong:???

"How did you beat them?"

"I just beat them with my hands, aren't they just those pointy-headed guys?"

"......"

"I... you... aren't..."

"Fine, you're impressive."

"You've passed."

"If you're truly ready to understand entropy disaster, you can come find me anytime."

"Good."

Watching Qiong leave, Zhang Jie's mouth curled up.

Of course he's not prepared! What he wants is definitely more than just this!

【The Intelligent Machine Star Alliance's bio-integration technology doesn't seem to be some secret technique.】

【They are even widely recruiting talents skilled in this technology; I should be able to get my hands on it.】

If Qiong were to come back at this moment and use mind-reading to probe Zhang Jie, she would surely shout:

"You lunatic!"

(It's a bit late, but it shouldn't be a big problem.)

(My adult ginseng absolutely must prove I sent a few! You're not allowed to say I can't!)

(You idiot!)
