Chapter 469: Glasses Ship Girl, Hello Universe
Come on! It's the exciting unboxing time!
The Ship Life of a research model, with random personality, appearance, and gender, is something very much to look forward to.
Besides Qiong, who was still sleeping, all the other Ship Girls had already come here, waiting for Zhang Jie to unbox.
Dai Tao is simply curious, while Xiao Jiu keeps praying in her heart not to get another Ship Girl.
Snort...
As the silver-white shell was slowly opened, Xiao Jiu opened her eyes a slit, and her face immediately fell.
The silver-white big coffin, plus a pink little screen, Xiao Jiu could tell from her hair alone that this was another Ship Girl.
"Huh? Another Ship Girl?"
You know, custom-made Ship Life costs extra to confirm gender, so this way he's also getting a bargain.
"Five-fold identity verification activated...."
"First: please input sclera information...."
Zhang Jie began verifying the information on the side, and everyone eagerly anticipated the appearance of the Ship Life before them.
"Fifth: please input genetic information...."
The silver big box extended a small mechanical arm, and Zhang Jie placed a nail clipping on it.
"Ah? This works too?"
Dai Tao had already readied the blood-drawing needle, preparing to prick Zhang Jie.
But the fact is, Zhang Jie had passed verification and opened the hatch.
What came into view was a.... well, an ordinary Ship Girl.
The only difference might be that she has an eye.
"ZYT Science Ship, at your service."
Zhang Jie glanced at the sign beside her, which wrote her personality.
Rational, aloof, rigorous.
Eh, not bad.
Looks like his team is about to get a reliable guy.
"Hello, Zhang Jie."
"Overall, this is an extremely distinctive Ship Life. Unlike Xiao Jiu and Dai Tao, she didn't discard her designation; she insists you call her 7774."
"Researcher, secretary ship, these are roughly her duties; after understanding your situation, she handles your problems at great speed."
"Her professional skills are flawless; as a qualified nuclear-powered donkey, 7774 worked nonstop for two days without rest, her love of work even impressing Xiao Jiu."
"In just five days, she worked five days straight, directly arranging the personnel of the Scrap Recycling Station, allocating belongings, and transferring research materials—everything done. That means you can now return to the side of the human female."
"You're half‑believing, half‑doubting; you thought it would take at least a month to finish everything, yet 7774 just did it like that?"
"But the fact is, it's true—she really finished everything in five days, perfectly to an unbelievable degree."
"Moreover, I fully understand the subject you're researching and can cooperate with your research at any time."
"Extremely professional, it infinitely magnifies Xiao Jiu's inferiority complex, but she can't do anything about it—now her role isn't as big as before."
"Xiao Jiu doesn't speak; she just stays silent, still the same as usual—she doesn't seem more taciturn or more lively, and there feels like an invisible barrier between you, though you notice nothing...."
"Of course, this is a huge hidden danger; not noticing any problem isn't really your fault—it's because Xiao Jiu is a little mute, her inferiority complex making her unwilling to show any displeasure."
"Humans! When are we leaving?"
"Afternoon!"
Well, finally going back to be beside my own mother, Zhang Jie's mood is ecstatic.
The junkyard will stay here as the foundation of Zhang Jie's future development; someone has already taken care of it for him, and his dream of picking up trash in space is sure to come true.
But besides picking up trash in space, Zhang Jie is also a highly skilled mechanic, and he needs to absorb the most advanced technology and products of civilization!
By then, whether he's truly a genius will be clear at a glance.
"As far as I know, true geniuses in the universe can change the world with their casual research."
7774, this glasses-wearing girl, mercilessly shattered Zhang Jie's fantasy.
"According to the database, there is a neutral organization called HelloUniverse in the universe, dedicated to gathering the ultimate geniuses of all civilizations."
"With your current situation, you temporarily lack the ability to join."
Zhang Jie's mouth twitched; this organization is quite mysterious, and what's with 'Hello Universe'?
This is like what Zhang Jie saw in a game organization on the stellar internet—a place that gathers super geniuses.
"This is no small matter."
"That's because I grew up in Feitu; if I had been in a slightly higher civilization, I would have already gotten in."
The glasses-wearing Ship Girl gave Zhang Jie a cold glance, and he seemed to see a hint of disdain in her eyes....
"Mr. Zhang Jie, I am a research-type Ship Life; my logic and principle is to maintain rigor."
"Undeniably, you are indeed an outstanding mechanic, but it's not enough."
"Still far from enough."
No ideas....
Zhang Jie was speechless—do you have to be this heart‑wrenching....
"Alright, alright, I got it; I'll try hard."
"The universe never lacks geniuses, but you are both a genius and not a genius; you still have a long way to go."
"You took away four Ship Girls; Xiao Jiu is your inseparable companion, Qiong is now seriously injured because of you, and you certainly cannot abandon her."
"And Dai Tao, well, she barely counts as a Ship Girl; having one more or less doesn't matter, and she could even compete in the Iron Law Star Alliance."
"You have finally returned to the true home of the human female!"
Wow.... this is the power of a top-tier civilization?
Zhang Jie looked at the magnificent planet completely sheathed in steel, feeling only like a monkey that had fled a primordial forest.
Around the planet's equator outside, five steel rings encircled it; Zhang Jie at least knew what they were called—something like... a Ringworld!
A five-layer Ringworld—this is no longer something easily achieved; it's nothing short of a marvel of craftsmanship!
"Mr. Zhang Jie, please maintain your composure; this is merely the most ordinary Class I planet of the Iron Law Star Alliance. If you ever see a Class IX planet, it won't be too late to be so shocked."
"Is this even the lowest level?"
Zhang Jie was truly shocked—a Class IX planet, well, he simply couldn't imagine it.....
"Little Jie, have you arrived?"
