Chapter 463: Latent Electricity, the Person Who Can't Be Killed by 250 Points

Qiong's words left Zhang Jie silent; what she said was correct, and he didn't know how to rebut.

"Feeling bad for half a month?"

"........"

"At least there's still half a month left, right? At least I can still make you suffer a bit."

"Although saying that seems untimely, it's the only thing Zhang Jie could think of to ease the atmosphere."

"Under Qiong's murderous gaze, Zhang Jie finally lowered his head obediently."

"What you said is correct; I'll pay attention."

"Hopefully."

"Well, as expected of a veteran, his demeanor is different."

"Scolding Zhang Jie is like scolding a grandson....."

"Qiong didn't say more; soon Xiao Jiu brought over the food and sat to the side, tilting her head to watch Zhang Jie eat."

"You want some too?"

"Xiao Jiu shook her head, then lay on the table, her eyes vacant."

"Alright, this time I probably really scared Xiao Jiu...."

"From then on, it was the same: Xiao Jiu constantly followed him, whether he was reading, crafting parts, or doing anything else; no matter how he tried, he couldn't shake her off."

"Even when Zhang Jie was in the toilet, he could see through the semi‑transparent door a ghost‑like figure looming at the entrance."

"Zhang Jie had no idea what to do."

"Zhang Jie truly had no idea what to do....."

"But setting that aside, aside from that, when he learned his blank had been thrown into the reactor, he was beating his chest and stamping his feet."

"He still hasn't figured that thing out!"

"Still, it was the trend; fortunately, the later disaster investigators found nothing special, which kept Zhang Jie from being locked up."

"Then there was the prize money from the competition of the silly Ship Girl Dai Tao, and we still need to upgrade her ship."

"As for letting Xiao Jiu go help cheat, Zhang Jie couldn't pursue it either, since he really felt embarrassed to find fault with Xiao Jiu now."

"After a busy day, once the several intelligent AI bulldozers Zhang Jie bought arrived, the time to push garbage into the reactor became much faster."

"Sometimes I'm really glad that this planet can still operate normally."

"Well, it's actually normal; disasters often cause many high‑ranking people to die unexpectedly, here there are many promotion opportunities, so the planet never lacks fresh blood."

"The whole busy day passed with Xiao Jiu following him; her current state is much like when she used to peek at him from the trash heap—silent, but her gaze always on him."

"He really couldn't stand it, but whenever he spoke to Xiao Jiu, she'd look at him with those wet puppy eyes, rendering him speechless, so Zhang Jie had no recourse."

"Night fell, Zhang Jie could finally relax a bit—surely this little‑dog Ship Girl couldn't possibly still be staring at him, could she?"

"Just as he was about to pull up the blanket to ease the fatigue from being stared at all day, Xiao Jiu knocked, holding a blanket."

"........"

"Human, may I stay here?"

"....."

"Xiao Jiu, I really won't cause trouble anymore; please let me off, okay?"

"Then this little‑dog Ship Girl Xiao Jiu fell silent again...."

"Well, no idea, still no idea; Zhang Jie sighed and finally let Xiao Jiu into his room."

"At first it was fine; Xiao Jiu just lay on the sofa hugging her little blanket, Zhang Jie saw how obedient she was, relaxed, and prepared to sleep well."

"But just five minutes after lying down, Zhang Jie's super‑brain told him something was a bit off...."

"Zhang Jie snapped his eyes open; Xiao Jiu's gleaming eyes in the darkness stared at him, making his skin crawl."

"He closed his eyes, opened them again—well, this time they were finally gone."

"Well, Xiao Jiu also disappeared along with them."

"Zhang Jie, who hadn't sensed anything wrong, only realized something was off just as he closed his eyes."

"He jerked his eyes open; Xiao Jiu's face was pressed against the bed's edge like a ghost, her two glowing eyes still fixed on him, and Zhang Jie was so scared he leaked two drops of urine."

"What are you doing?!"

"Xiao Jiu..... can Xiao Jiu come up?"

"....."

"Can I say no?"

"Looking at Xiao Jiu's eyes, it's obvious—no."

"Alright, alright, just this once!"

"Xiao Jiu hummed and hawed as she climbed up; Zhang Jie's bed is against the wall, and with a roll she squeezed into the inner spot."

"Don't push your luck!"

"Hmph!"

"Xiao Jiu let out a cool snort, wrapped in the blanket, and stayed still."

"After a long while, Zhang Jie gradually drifted into sleep."

"And this time, he truly had a good dream."

"No Nightmare harassment, because those guys were beaten into submission by him and won't be bothering him for a while."

"Generally, after successfully resisting Nightmare erosion, a person gains resistance, just as experiencing something once gives you experience; next time this situation will also bring stronger mental resistance."

"So, with mental resistance, Nightmares will rarely bother with such thankless tasks, and those who have mental resistance will be excluded by them."

"But Zhang Jie, who beat them up right from the start, is necessarily special."

"If they were to corrupt Zhang Jie, then easily taking over a planet would be a sure thing."

But unfortunately, even a great general who showed up was knocked down by Zhang Jie; this isn't the first time Nightmare has lost face like this.

The night passed in silence; the next day, Zhang Jie slowly woke up, opening his eyes to an incredibly satisfying stretch.

"Ouch!"

It felt like something had fallen; what was it?

Oh, it turned out to be Xiao Jiu.

Even though she was sleeping in bed, Xiao Jiu still couldn't escape being kicked off; who asked her to be restless at night, shifting positions several times just to see Zhang Jie's face.

This time being kicked off is also understandable.

She stared at Zhang Jie with a dark face for a while, then Xiao Jiu ran out; Zhang Jie, after over twenty hours, finally got away from her for the first time.

While eating, Zhang Jie looked at the strange atmosphere on the table and couldn't help but get a headache.

Usually, Xiao Jiu and Sha Taozi fool around together, while he and Qiong chat about some cosmic trivia.

Now, Qiong doesn't want to mess with herself, Xiao Jiu is emo, and Sha Taozi, having no one to talk to, just stuffs her face; everyone has a bright future....

Cough cough, but Zhang Jie ultimately couldn't bear such an awkward silence, so he spoke up.

"Qiong, uh, I want to study Nightmare today; do you have any suggestions?"

"Suggestions? Heh...."

Qiong gave a dark, contemptuous look as if looking at trash; Zhang Jie has already been labeled by her as someone who disrespects his own life, which not only harms himself but also will harm Xiao Jiu.

So, she intends to give Zhang Jie a good dressing-down for a while.

"My advice is: you'd better not look at natural disasters with your conventional eyes, and don't try to use your seemingly powerful methods to deal with natural disasters."

"If you really won't listen, heh...."

"Then do as you wish; anyway, 220-volt electricity won't kill you, you a 250 person."
