Chapter 460: Damn it, what are you muttering about? Since you're here, don't leave!

Bio-integration technology refers to the technology of combining living organisms with machinery.

For example, the 'wetware' made from biological brains, and the 'brain-machine' that connects brains via machinery, are both kinds of bio-integration technology.

And Ship Life is astonishingly the pinnacle creation of this technology.

But what Zhang Jie seeks is not this technology capable of creating Ship Life, but a mechanical creation that can develop the brain and develop consciousness.

In the universe there is a kind of virtual game; the technology he uses consists of connecting the brain's electrical signals to a terminal and projecting consciousness into a server to play virtually.

Zhang Jie is thinking of this; he wants to catch the Nightmare! On the Nightmare's body, he saw excellent potential!

Since the Nightmare is a kind of mental virus, then its true form should, like a real-world virus, have a carrier.

Right, Zhang Jie wants to play catch with a natural disaster in his own brain; such a crazy move, even if his nominal uncle showed up, he'd have to curse it as suicidal.

'Blank' is a derivative of the Nightmare; essentially, what it was before infection is what it becomes after infection.

However, the molecular structure of silicon-based life is hard to change, which causes the infection time to lengthen.

Hmm... this thing should be available for purchase on the official website of the Intelligent Machine Star Alliance.

Damn? So expensive!

Knowledge is money; here it has become an extremely common consensus.

Zhang Jie also saw the intelligent-machine version and the carbon-based version....

Although the carbon-based version is not used, being electronic data, it is nevertheless fifty percent cheaper than the silicon-based version.

Well, as for why, because the silicon-based version is a damn crystal core that just needs to be plugged in to work, and it even comes with free shipping to the planet!

Zhang Jie truly regrets not becoming an intelligent machine!

If he became an intelligent machine, he wouldn't have to deal with all this nonsense, and wouldn't have to study on his own; carbon-based life truly is fucking damned!

Zhang Jie painfully bought this extremely expensive bio-integration knowledge, which directly wiped out half of his liquid funds.

After skimming through this knowledge, Zhang Jie estimated what he needed and discovered it was another huge sum of money.

I need a high-computing-power quantum crystal core—where can I buy this...?

Although his DIY skills are comparable to a printer's, after all this is a crystal core—let alone a quantum crystal core, even an ordinary crystal core isn't something a person can DIY.

Back on the first junk star, when he and a human female were building a spaceship, the crystal cores used were picked from electronic trash and taken apart; he never said he made them himself.

It's like pouring three cups of sixty-degree water onto a block and not getting one hundred eighty degrees, or ten human females not being able to produce a baby in a month—this involves the laws of physics.

Zhang Jie opened the communications equipment, watched Dull Peach's race, and kept busy DIYing stuff he would need later.

He finally spotted Silly Peach's silhouette—the ship Zhang Jie personally modified—now nimbly swimming like a dragon on the track.

This little gadget's technology is still pretty good, huh?

Zhang Jie's hands kept moving; as a popular racing event on this planet, he certainly hasn't watched it little.

But as he watched, he suddenly felt something was off.

How come there's a huge luck barreling straight ahead in front of her?

Zhang Jie narrowed his eyes to look closely.....

No way! That fucking is Xiao Jiu!

How did Xiao Jiu enter the race? With her huge-luck-like physique, she'll probably kill all the other competitors!

This Silly Peach isn't stupid either; she even knows to bribe Xiao Jiu to clear a path for herself. Besides, it's only right that the qualifiers have all sorts of divine beings—if she gets eliminated here, she'll only be able to come back and scrape garbage for half a year.

Zhang Jie silently placed a bet on Xiao Jiu's upcoming match, then focused on tinkering with the stuff in his hands.

This time he plans to use virtual gaming equipment paired with an ordinary processor to try to capture the Nightmare.

With his DIY skills maxed out, he quickly threw together a device with tangled wires, unnamed, but this thing can let him stay conscious while maintaining a sleep state.

Hearing some left-right brain combat, cough, in other words, this thing is just a high-tech brain-machine that can let Zhang Jie's brain simulate sleep while letting him consciously control external equipment.

Although it's very dangerous,....

Done!

Zhang Jie steeled himself, activated the device, faint bioelectric signals entered his brain, and Zhang Jie instantly fell asleep headfirst.

Black substance once again emerged from the void, seemingly for revenge; the last time the black substance was like fine threads, this time it was like rope.....

As soon as Zhang Jie entered, he saw something completely different.

A huge black monster sat enthroned on a throne, looking down at him, while countless Nightmares stared hungrily at his sides.

Not bro, can't afford to play with the big brother!

Zhang Jie felt he had fallen into a trap; with such a grand show, it seems likely to swallow him whole.

This matter probably won't be so easily resolved.

The figure on the throne slowly reached out, pointing at Zhang Jie, murmuring an incomprehensible frequency in its mouth.

It expected Zhang Jie to show fear, but he didn't.

He watched Zhang Jie's expression go from clueless to enlightened, then to madness.

Then it suddenly stiffened, looking at Zhang Jie in disbelief.

The external device suddenly sprang to life, the cooling fan whooshing, the black-substance rope outside being wrapped by the current and entering Zhang Jie's brain.

Damn it! What are you muttering about? Since you're here, don't leave!

The giant Nightmare fell silent—could this person really not be afraid of death?

We are natural disasters! Natural disasters!

A single Nightmare can take out over a hundred people; back then, seeing his strong will, they sent a dozen or so after him, but now it has personally descended, only to be trapped by this human inside his brain!

He really is a warrior....

Then no more words needed—just do it—and the next moment, a swarm of Nightmares surged toward Zhang Jie.....

On the other side....

The three Ship Girls still don't know Zhang Jie is courting death, and they haven't stopped.

"Yay! We won!"

"Silly Peach! As agreed, all the money we won from the bet is mine!"

Xiao Jiu's Great Luck Truck returned to the Jianghu, and in a flash chickens flew and dogs jumped; not even a single intact ship's rear could be found before Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu also saw that a Ship Life had been made to cry by her, and now it's still covering its butt, looking for its driver to ask for a hug.

"I'm really jealous of them...."

"Jealous? You'd better think about how to explain things to Zhang Jie later."

"By then, the one sniffling while covering their butt might just be you, Xiao Jiu."

Xiao Jiu's butt instantly felt a chill....

"Cough cough, doom... doomed!"

"Definitely doomed!"

"Wait a minute...."

Qiong suddenly furrowed their brows.

"I feel it.... a strong aura of heavenly disaster!!!"

"(There's still another chapter in the early morning; I, Lao Renshen, will go relax first....)"
