Chapter 465: What happened to my mom!

What!!!!

Human! You actually want to buy a new Ship Life!

No way! I disagree! I disagree!!

Xiao Jiu wailed on the spot; when she learned that Zhang Jie wanted to buy a new Ship Life, she felt like her world was collapsing.

That's a new Ship Life, which is basically like starting a fresh account!

This guy won't be like Qiong and Daitao; those two are essentially second-hand Ship Girls in a sense. Although Xiao Jiu isn't particularly special, relying on being a first-hand Ship Girl at least lets her maintain her position.

But if another one comes, especially if it's purchased through proper channels, then Xiao Jiu's position won't be secure!

After her bout of wailing, Xiao Jiu noticed that the three of them were staring at her strangely.

According to common sense, buying a Ship Life is indeed a good choice.

Qiong ignored Xiao Jiu and went on with her own analysis, while Daitao... this whole thing has nothing to do with her.

She's just a foolish Ship Girl who only knows how to use a fork; she doesn't understand anything about new partners.

This time I suggest you buy a research type—at least its body should be durable, so it can accompany you on your reckless experiments.

What Qiong said makes sense; as a battle-hardened veteran who's cold outside but warm inside, she's genuinely looking out for Zhang Jie.

I'll listen to you.

Zhang Jie also needs a research-type Ship Life; even though his brain has expanded a lot, having a Ship Life that can assist him is still very useful.

Um.... Xiao Jiu?

The puppy Ship Girl looked at him pitifully; Zhang Jie understood her worry, but he just gently patted Xiao Jiu's head.

Don't worry, little foolish Ship Girl—I won't abandon you.

This... this I definitely know!

But... but...

What Xiao Jiu is worried about isn't this...

She muttered those last words softly, and Zhang Jie seemed not to have heard.

Then I'll place the order.

By the way, can we customize the personality and appearance?

Believe me, you'd better not think about doing that.

Then that's fine.

In this regard, Zhang Jie still listens to advice.

Ship Life, research type, random model of a small warship—click to order!

OK! Although I don't know what personality, sex, or appearance this Ship Life will have.

But Zhang Jie is still very excited, after all this is his first purchase, it's through official channels, and it's a certified Ship Life!

Thus, his scavenger's grand undertaking can finally move forward a step further.

Your ordered Ship Life is currently being produced....

Please don't be impatient; creating a life is not something done casually....

Alright, having said that, Zhang Jie still thought the order would arrive in three days.

He was impatient, impatient.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jiu looked at the unfixed timeline and could only inwardly pray for it to be later, later....

Xiao Jiu was unhappy, pouting for several days, a scene Qiong naturally saw.

That petty little demeanor seemed to successfully awaken a certain hidden yearning deep inside her; she used to be like that, focusing all her gaze on her own helmsman.

She could understand that feeling quite well.

Xiao Jiu, so why don't you try to improve yourself?

Huh?

How... how can you say that?

Seeing how you care about Zhang Jie's appearance, you must be afraid the newcomer will replace your position.

Before that, why not try to make yourself a bit more useful?

I......

I don't know what to do....

You should think about it seriously, but I'm sure that whatever you do won't change anything.

Ah???

Xiao Jiu was left dazed by Qiong's remark—what does it mean that she can't change anything? Is Xiao Jiu destined to be abandoned?

Simply put, doing this would only ease your anxiety; it has no real substance.

Even if you're just a lazy good-for-nothing, Zhang Jie probably wouldn't abandon you; it just depends on whether you can live with yourself.

So that's how it is; Xiao Jiu fell silent—no wonder Qiong, with just one sentence, voiced Xiao Jiu's truest thoughts.

Thanks... I'll think it over carefully.

Xiao Jiu left, preoccupied; Qiong smiled satisfied, turned to look at Daitao nearby, saw her somewhat dazed expression, and Qiong, helpless, wanted to say something but held back.

What's up, Qiong sis?

.... Nothing, go play.

Oh....

At this moment, Zhang Jie was facing the fruit on the table, exerting force from a distance.

Damn it! You tricked me!

The nightmare in his mind immediately let out a strange cry.

I really don't have it, my brother! Psychic power isn't just a matter of brain region width!

So what good are you?

If you can't, then switch to another one!

No! Me! I'll do it!

Zhang Jie immediately felt a strange power surge from his mind, and the fruit before him miraculously rolled a bit.

It's done!

This left the nightmare in his mind half-dead exhausted; where did this psychic power come from... it was him trying to communicate with the nightmare substance and push it!

Although he could communicate with nightmare substance, unfortunately he still couldn't connect to the will of the nightmare disaster's G-tower style main brain.

Even after lingering in Zhang Jie's mind for a while, he actually felt a sense of ease!

Even the disaster's bloodlust is gradually fading! What's wrong with him!

No! He has fallen into depravity!

Although he repeatedly stressed that he was an unpredictable and inscrutable nightmare lord, having been separated from the disaster's will for too long, its mind really no longer had the initial ferocity.

Hmm, I've got it!

Zhang Jie casually pointed, and the fruit seemed to be bumped by something, leaving the nightmare dazed.

No! Wasn't that just me personally pushing it? How did you manage it?

Not a buddy? You're actually a human!

The nightmare also felt shocked by Zhang Jie's talent.

Just having hands is enough.

Zhang Jie arrogantly lifted his head, intending to say a couple more flirtatious lines, when the air around him suddenly flickered.

Then, a familiar holographic projection was cast out, and it turned out to be Zhang Jie's cheap uncle!

At this moment, he was covered in injuries, panting heavily, and the situation seemed grim.

Great nephew!

???

Ignoring Zhang Jie's bewildered expression, the other continued speaking.

Don't worry about how I appeared before you, and don't worry about how I am now!

This time! Your mother really has met with disaster!!!

Zhang Jie:!!!

What happened to my mother!

She is now approaching the border of the Intelligent Machine Star Alliance, not far from you; I've sent you the coordinates!

Bring her back...... I'm begging you....
