Chapter 538

As Zhang Jie's evil claw violently shoved the room door open, the imagined embarrassed figure of Xiao Jiu did not appear; standing before him was a Ship Girl leaning on the window, gazing into the Star Sea.

What's up, Driver?

Xiao Jiu gave Zhang Jie a perfectly polite smile, but the more perfect it was, the more Zhang Jie felt something was off.

Back then, Xiao Jiu was not only clingy but also liked to get jealous; she was completely a childish little brat.

It seems she, too, has gone through a lot....

"Xiao Jiu, come with me to the Alliance later."

"All right, Driver Mister."

Zhang Jie closed the door, and Xiao Jiu watched his retreating back, lightly patting her own chest.

"Almost exposed...."

Thinking that, Xiao Jiu pulled out a small snack from behind herself and shoved it into her mouth.

"There's one more thing!"

Zhang Jie violently shoved the door open again, instantly locking eyes with Xiao Jiu; her small hand remained poised at the edge of her mouth.

"Hmm, Xiao Jiu?"

"......"

"What are you up to, Driver...."

Zhang Jie could clearly see the fleeting embarrassment on Xiao Jiu's face, but, as if recalling some reliance, she suddenly became bold and self-assured.

She probably figured that since Zhang Jie didn't remember her anyway, she might as well just give up—at least that's what Zhang Jie thought.

However, seeing Xiao Jiu like this, Zhang Jie felt much more relieved, at least confirming that the little Ship Girl's nature remained.

"It's fine; I didn't expect you to have this side."

"I've transferred twenty million to you; if you like snacks, go buy something good to eat."

"Hmm.... hmm."

Zhang Jie closed the door again; he did it on purpose, since Xiao Jiu had previously sneaked a look at those little picture books, and Zhang Jie had caught her the same way.

I don't know if she's familiar with this kind of format.

However, we still need to consider how to start this reunion; Zhang Jie felt that Xiao Jiu being here must mean there's a problem.

"Hiss.... not honoring!"

"Since the last simulation was in some past century, where did my God Ascendant go?"

"Or perhaps my God Ascendant has become some 'mysterious existence'?"

Zhang Jie recalled that in past simulations, whenever a life was remarkably exciting, at the ending some mysterious entity would pop out and say a couple of lines to him.

This time, however, there was none....

"By the way, this round's reward is definitely abundant!"

Zhang Jie felt some anticipation; this time he really struck luck! Relying on the God Ascendant, he ascended to godhood on the spot—though brief, it was indeed the peak of his simulations.

Starting from a trash collector, he altered the cosmic layout; although he still ended up on a path similar to the Star Sea Leader, this time he was fairly satisfied.

However, as he guessed, the 'Star Sea Leader' entry indeed has a high chance of going awry; even without the 'Curve Salvation' entry, problems would still arise.

"Hmm.... God Ascendant thing... please ask the Intelligent Machine Empress to look into it."

When dealing with matters, we must deal with people; for tasks like finding things, especially searching the universe for things, the Intelligent Machine is certainly the most suitable.

Although whether the God Ascendant is still alive now remains to be debated.

However, after this simulation, Zhang Jie has confidence to raise the Alliance's technology countless floors higher!

Being a genius for so long in the simulation wasn't for nothing! Although his brain isn't as sharp as in the simulation, his knowledge he remembers crystal clear.

He plans to show off his skills in the Alliance!

On another note, the Intelligent Machine Empress looked at the message Zhang Jie sent, and beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Alliance Big Shot: I once created a super quantum computer capable of affecting reality; it might still exist in this universe—can you help me find it?

？：？？？

Looking at the communication equipment, she felt that what this guy Zhang Jie was saying was so familiar!!!

Why does it resemble so much the computer they killed several centuries ago?

Bu er.....

The indecisive Intelligent Machine Empress sent the message to Yunxiao, and the reply from the other side was likewise three question marks.

"Are you sure what Zhang Jie said is the thing we killed?"

"Not certain, but I feel it's probably nine out of ten...."

Yunxiao began to think; as everyone knows, Zhang Jie periodically awakens some strange memories, so perhaps this thing really was created by Zhang Jie.

By this point, Yunxiao only felt a headache coming on; know that the supercomputer they killed was the chief culprit behind her and Zhang Jie's separation!

Although he's now called Zhang Jie, not Chi Hong, without that computer there wouldn't be all these matters.

"..... "

"Tell Brother.... him, we don't need to hide anything."

"However, we still need to tell him the full story...."

The Intelligent Machine Empress is here, and Yunxiao still wants to save face, so she didn't feel comfortable directly calling him brother.

Who knows how the Intelligent Machine Empress will look at her once that term is spoken.

"Okay, I got it."

The Intelligent Machine Empress sent all the details to Zhang Jie.

Alliance big shot:......

Alliance big shot: Bu Er, you two sure?

? ：Otherwise, that thing is the culprit of the tragedy between you and Yunxiao, and you're telling me you made it?

? ：Then aren't you just lifting a stone to drop on your own foot?

Zhang Jie was dazed; Yunxiao hadn't mentioned this to him, but if that's the case, the timing doesn't match.

If that thing had been killed countless years ago, then Xiao Jiu definitely wasn't brought by the deity-ascent seeker; so where did Xiao Jiu come from?

You can't possibly be saying the simulator did it, right?

Zhang Jie felt his pig brain was about to overload....

Hiss, either the simulator's brain works better, or I should first lubricate my own brain.

But.... his time now isn't solely his own!

Lin Ran: Old Zhang? Where are you?

Lin Ran: Missing the first day with Old Zhang and Big A~

Seeing this message, Zhang Jie broke into a cold sweat instantly—this Lin Ran is just too terrifying!

Although each time he's whipped by Big A until he kneels and begs for mercy, the next day he's full of vigor, Zhang Jie suspects she's just pretending!

But he really does have important business now; the main point is that even if his gene lock is at stage twenty, Big A's bullets can't withstand such use!

First, steady... first, steady...

Wait until Zhang Jie uses the simulator's technology to boost himself a bit, adds some accessories to Big A, and then we'll fight the League Empress!

Alliance bigwig: Sorry, Lin Ran, we have important business.

Lin Ran: Well then....

Lin Ran: Wait! No exchange!!!
