Chapter 482: You're not a genius at all

According to the previous agreement, you participated in Yuan's topic, the supercomputer that anchors the future's direction, which sounds pretty badass.

Xiao Jiu hasn't returned to the Star Alliance, but you can't stay here waiting for her now; the location of this topic isn't in the Iron Law Star Alliance, but on a stellar space station where the Star Alliance has no control and no civilization resides.

The reason for choosing this topic in the first place was simply because of the entropy disaster.

Because of its uncertainty, we need a computer capable of collapsing reality particles via quantum influence to achieve the effect of anchoring the future.

In short, just understand it as a means to deal with the entropy disaster.

Zhang Jie scratched his head, meaning, this thing can change the future in some sense?

What are you thinking? I'm just explaining the original intention of this topic to you; who knows what it will become in the end?

Um, no, teacher, I'm asking, aren't you going aboard the ship?

The Ship Life that will become the hull is Daitao; this Small Ship Girl says she's come back for revenge, her face full of red light, she must have given the opponent a hard slap.

Although Zhang Jie doesn't know whether there's any hidden story behind the other party's abandonment of Daitao back then, it's none of his business.

Going up? No, when you get there you'll naturally see me; this body will stay here to teach these little guys.

Hurry up, time waits for no one.

Alright, they have several bodies; speaking of which, can he learn this kind of brain-splitting technique?

Oh right, my armed fleet will escort you; don't worry about anything else.

Just like that, see you later.

Yuan left, but Zhang Jie knew she had switched accounts....

Fine.

As Daitao's hull launched, Zhang Jie realized this guy is a competition ship that's finished upgrading!

Go slower!!

After a bout of upheaval, you set off on a journey; this time it will be an even longer journey, possibly not seeing Xiao Jiu and human females for a long time.

Before this, you had already properly said goodbye to human females, but Xiao Jiu..... you still haven't said farewell to her.

Since the last time you had a video call with her, the Small Ship Girl has already embarked on her return journey, but unfortunately, the region affected by natural disaster cannot make the fastest jump, only able to make a time-delayed curvature voyage.

This leads to Xiao Jiu needing.... a not short amount of time to come back.

You cannot say goodbye to her....

Of course, the situation isn't that bad; it's not a life-and-death separation, so there's no need to be so sentimental.

And this time you're going, it's not just simply agreeing to Yuan's request, but.... stealing teachings.

Although you initially indeed wanted to learn more outside your field, but after learning the true topic, your thinking is no longer just pure study.

Anchoring the direction of things—this kind of thing, you must master it!

This is a strategic 'weapon'; regardless of whether the project's essence is to benefit humanity, you must learn how to make this thing; at least having it will prevent such incidents from happening again.

From now on, your purpose in acquiring technology is no longer driven by curiosity, but for weapons, powerful weapons, weapons capable of blasting stars with a single shot!

In a sense, your purpose coincidentally matches that of your childhood self—both wanting to blast something into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, you arrived at that mysterious place; of course, you saw Yuan again.

You came?

She looks the same as the Yuan in the Iron Law Star Alliance—same appearance, same tone, only the clothing differs.

Get ready; tomorrow we'll officially begin the research, and you'll be my assistant.

Okay.

You're really looking forward to the subsequent research......

Two weeks later.....

Hmm..... this assistant of yours has more talent than I imagined.

Whether this is flattery or sincere praise, Yuan still appears indifferent; she glanced at the data and shook her head.

As my student, it's still not enough.

The other party choked, looked at Zhang Jie with some doubt, then glanced at Yuan.

Hiss... uh....

Yuan, your assistant increased each server's computing power by 50% through his own effort; isn't that talent?

Talent?

Yuan looked at the data, tossed out a line, 'Wait,' then turned and left, leaving Zhang Jie with a clueless expression.

What did she go do?

Um.... I don't know; Yuan teacher has always been like this.

Forget it, don't bother with her.

The other party smiled, looked at Zhang Jie, and extended a hand.

Earlier I was rushed, didn't have time to introduce myself.

Let's get acquainted; I am Zhelege, of the Insect Clan, the initiator of the project.

Zhang Jie:?

Looking at the other party's completely human appearance, Zhang Jie's mind filled with doubt, you're telling me this thing is an insect disaster?

Don't look at me like that; you also know that because of the entropy disaster, public acceptance of the insect disaster image isn't high.

Well, as someone from the place where the world's most capable people gather, I naturally have to pay attention a bit.

Alright, I was presumptuous.

It's fine; also, don't be discouraged, with your ability joining us isn't impossible.

Zhang Jie raised his eyebrows; speaking of which, Zhelege's status should be about the same as Yuan's, right?

Could this praise also be considered recognition from high‑value individuals?

Hmm, then couldn't I also call myself a genius?

And half a day later...

He then saw Yuan arrive here with a component that boosts computing power by 5000%, and he looked at him with a "just like that" gaze.

Alright, I'm being honest—this time I'm truly honest. It seems what the Insect disaster said yesterday was just polite talk.

"Honest?"

"Honest…."

"Hmm~ go research, you're still not bad."

"What a fucking genius! Hahahaha!"

"Shut up!"

Nightmare mercilessly mocked him in his mind, and Zhang Jie now just wanted to beat him up badly.

And Yuan watched Zhang Jie's retreating back, a clear smile curving his lips.

"Yuan… is this okay?"

"What do you know, you insect brain?"

"Come on… what has become of the equipment your little assistant is using? It's so crude."

"Do you even know what this concept is? It's like letting you chisel a curvature engine with a stone chisel!"

"Can you do this yourself?"

"Hmm, I know, I can't do it."

"But I'd rather he keep trying to surpass his limits; if I praise him a bit more, he'll go straight to heaven seeking death—do you believe that?"

"You know what crazy things he's done?"

"?"

"What?"

"This little thing actively summoned Nightmare, trying to implant them in his own brain."

"..."

"Madman, how has he managed to survive?"

Yuan looked at the other person with a half‑smile, shaking his head in disdain.

"What you should be concerned about isn't how he's survived."

"But rather, why he succeeded in this."
