Chapter 475: The Frontier of Science!

"......"

"So, Ms. Yuan bought you off with just 20 Ship Lives?"

"Uh.... It seems like that...."

".... This matter... is my fault...."

"The human female rubbed her forehead; this matter is her fault, she didn't let Zhang Jie realize his own position...."

"Growing up on Scrap Star from childhood, naturally, if one had a Ship Life there, it could completely change a person's life."

"But.... this is the core planet of the Iron Law Star Alliance...."

"Don't you see that Ship Lives are everywhere here!!!"

"Little Jie, although I can't describe my position in the Iron Law Star Alliance to you, I can guarantee."

"We don't need to cater to anyone, we don't need to fear anyone, even the Star Sea Leader cannot make you do what you don't want to do."

"Everything is decided by your own will."

"When the human female said this, her proud expression couldn't be hidden."

"From a pawn, step by step turning into a player, the bitterness here only she knows, and all of this she actually did for Zhang Jie."

"If it weren't for that little creature that fell from the sky to her side, she would have lived alone on Scrap Star for her whole life."

"So, Mom, how many Ship Lives does our family actually have?"

"I want to go open a scrap yard."

"Human female:......"

"This damn kid!"

"How should I put it? The Ship Lives I can mobilize are steadily around tens of millions."

"Planet‑class Ship Lives number about 17."

"Zhang Jie:......"

"Damn!!!"

"I should have asked for more earlier!"

"The human female looked at him speechlessly, but in the end still sighed and rubbed Zhang Jie's head."

"It's fine; Ms. Yuan is a scholar at the forefront of the whole world. As her student, you won't lose out."

"But how did she know what you like?"

"Probably just a little trick of a genius."

"Zhang Jie shrugged; the nightmare in his mind was truly unreliable, easily discovered by others."

"Anyone a bit extreme would have already sliced Zhang Jie's brains."

"Meanwhile, in the next room, 7774 was thinking about something."

"As a secretary ship and research ship, she's been idle for too long."

"7774, you really aren't coming along?"

"Daitao gazed at the bespectacled ship girl lost in thought and asked foolishly."

"Today was the fifth time Xiao Jiu and the others invited her to go play at the Ship Life Activity Center, but she still refused."

"Her pilot was taken as a student by the inventor of Ship Lives, Ms. Yuan; so could she also, under the banner of assisting Zhang Jie, secretly learn something?"

"I won't waste my precious life on pleasure."

"7774's words were somewhat heartless, and this sentence successfully left Xiao Jiu, who was packing her small backpack, stunned in place."

"......."

"Qiong saw Xiao Jiu's silence and dejection all in her eyes; as a veteran of the Star Alliance, she instantly saw what Xiao Jiu was thinking."

"But she wouldn't try to persuade Xiao Jiu; she just frowned and looked at 7774."

"7774, I need to correct you: our current behavior is not pleasure, but rather, in the form of a game, simulating a real battlefield to improve ourselves."

"Furthermore, whether it's pleasure or not is not up to you; we invite you as companions' invitation, you don't need to judge others with your own meager experience."

"That's all I have to say."

"Qiong pulled Xiao Jiu away, while Daitao scratched his head foolishly and followed them out."

"Meanless excuses."

"7774 completely didn't take those people's words to heart; as a newly born Ship Life, 7774 is like a human youth—confident, arrogant, and dismissive of opposing views."

"Study, research, scientific work—this is her entire life; everything else is unimportant."

"Young ship girls always want to show off their martial prowess, want to display their wisdom, want to prove their wisdom."

"But soon she will suffer a heavy blow to her overconfidence and conceit."

"But for now, she still explained the situation to Zhang Jie and naturally got his agreement."

"He didn't know that this newcomer little creature and Qiong's group had friction; you just felt that Xiao Jiu's mood was a bit off."

"After all, you could tell from Xiao Jiu's appearance and the ahoge on her head."

"Well, although ahoge doesn't exist in reality, that thing was made by Zhang Jie; Xiao Jiu never took it off, and it coexists nicely with her."

"Xiao Jiu?"

"What! What's wrong with humanity!"

"You look a bit unhappy, come, let's rub your head."

"Xiao Jiu received a head rub from Zhang Jie ×1....."

"Are you happy now?"

"...."

"Not enough? Then again!"

Xiao Jiu received head pats ×10 from Zhang Jie!!!

Xiao Jiu got a lot happier!

Alright, go play.

Mm!

Their interaction was noticed by 7774; she tried not to pay attention to what was happening there, but she couldn't help looking at the two of them.

Watching Xiao Jiu gradually become more cheerful, 7774 felt a strange sensation from her core spreading throughout her body.

Have fun, I'm heading out first.

Since you are now truly Yuan's student, you already have her contact information, and she agreed to your request to bring Ship Life into the classroom.

Not everyone here is human; there are also some Ship Life. 7774 is inconspicuous here; she has started her first class, which is also her first step in proving herself.

Soon, faced with knowledge far beyond her database's comprehension, she became dazed and confused, and her proud learning ability was useless here.

Looking at yourself, after surviving the previous devastation, you now handle things with ease, leaving 7774 feeling silent.

But she is not quick to admit defeat; she once said your IQ is only one notch above average, and she believes that if you can achieve this level, she certainly can too!

Three weeks later, the news that you aced all 21 courses spread like a wave here; if anyone previously thought you were a clown, they are now truly convinced by you.

After the semester ended, you completed all courses with outstanding grades, and this time the record‑breaking legend truly came to fruition.

7774 did not take the exam, but she has seen the questions; if she were to do them, her performance would be horrendous....

And you, having passed all 21 courses, have also fulfilled Yuan's requirement, becoming her true student!

From this moment on, you will stand on the shoulders of giants and touch the frontier of this world's science!
