Chapter 542: Can you come over and see me?

Sure enough, when Xiao Jiu and Lin Ran arrived, Zhang Jie had already vanished, leaving only a sentence for the two of them.

I took the little cat out to play!

It's all your fault.

Huh? Why blame me?

Hehehe~

Hmph, I won't argue with you!

At this moment, Old Zhang was being dragged along by a huge unspeakable thing, heading of course to Yu Xiaomo's planet.

Zhang Jie gazed at the unspeakable thing, only feeling a massive headache—really, is it okay for the sapphire to end up like this?

Knight Sir! The cannon below is aimed at us!

Zhang Jie:!!!

Then you'd better dodge quickly!

Cough, I can't dodge, meow....

Then a sky‑rushing cannon blast came down straight at Zhang Jie....

Speechless, Zhang Jie watched as a holographic projection appeared above the planet, and Yu Xiaomo's big face suddenly showed up on it.

Ahem! Listen up, you ugly thing across from me! I don't care if you're some natural disaster or some unspeakable evil god—get lost right now!

Otherwise! I'll blast you to pieces!

Zhang Jie:....

He silently took a photo and sent it to me, Yu Xiaomo; at the same moment, a chime rang out on the projection, Yu Xiaomo glanced at it and her eyes widened instantly.

Alliance big shot: picture. jpg

Alliance big shot: Little Mo, little Mo, are you going to blast me to pieces?

Well, this is bad—Yu Xiaomo revealed an embarrassed and extremely forced smile.

Can... can we make peace?

Meanwhile....

At this moment, Yunxiao and the Intelligent Machine Empress were busy with serious business.

After Zhang Jie said that the so‑called supercomputer might be fine, they heightened their vigilance and began to follow the previous trail, looking for clues.

You see, the Intelligent Machine Empress's current mechanical body was actually crafted by referencing the other party's remnant corpse.

Hmph, it's all your fault!

We agreed you'd leave that thing for me to use as a body, but you went and blew it up—now you insist I search for data in the other party's foot skin!

It... it's not that exaggerated...

Yunxiao rubbed her nose, saying the foot skin was a bit too much....

All right, she indeed left only a single intact shell for the other party, while all the remaining fragments were painstakingly pieced together by the Intelligent Machine Empress herself.

This is indeed quite difficult for a strong machine....

Excessive! But if we can't find it this time, don't blame me!

And no hitting me!

The Intelligent Machine Empress felt she was about to be beaten into an M—although Yunxiao's strikes weren't harsh, she made up for it in number!

Good, good, good~ good sister, hurry up and look!

Hey, that's about right!

After relentless effort, constant searching, and piecing together, Yunxiao and the Intelligent Machine Empress finally arrived at a fact: that old thing indeed died.

Damn it! You wasted my whole day!

The Intelligent Machine Empress flipped the table, while Yunxiao also bit her finger, looking utterly confused.

Then that's strange...

Yunxiao fell into deep thought—could they really have been mistaken? Actually, could the two things really be a coincidence?

Yunxiao always felt the matter shouldn't be that simple....

At this moment, whether it was divine favor or the thing itself wanting Yunxiao and them to discover it, an 'encrypted' message suddenly turned up beneath the Intelligent Machine Empress's hands.

Hey, wait wait wait!

I think I really did discover something...

And this clue, obviously, was deliberately left out for them to see.

That string of information is discontinuous, but one can faintly make out that it seems related to some person.

Yunxiao and the Intelligent Machine Empress stared at each other, feeling that something was off.

No way!

What about Zhang Jie!

The two little idiots finally realized the problem: an hour ago, their latest news was that Zhang Jie had taken some little cat out for leisure, but now? Are they still there?

They really aren't there...

The other party even arrogantly left a string of specific coordinates! Tell us to bring more transport ships over!

That crazy?

Yunxiao had never seen someone this crazy before—not only did they take her family, but they also wanted to ride on her forehead and defecate!

Onward, onward!

I want to see what tricks it's trying to pull!

Yunxiao now doesn't care about Zhang Jie's life or death, since it's unnecessary—Zhang Jie currently has plenty of self‑preservation means, and she doesn't think anyone could kill him right now.

It's not like before; she's strong, Zhang Jie is strong too, and they no longer have to worry about something happening to anyone.

"Let's go, just as he said, prepare a few transport ships."

Time shifted back to not long ago; at that time, Zhang Jie had just brought the little cat to Yu Xiaomo's side, saying he wanted Yu Xiaomo to help look after the child, but it was obvious that Yu Xiaomo wasn't that willing.

Blue Sapphire wasn't happy either, but she had no choice; she had to listen to Knight Sir's words.

Just like that, Yu Xiaomo began her tragic, forced life of caring for a child.

As for Zhang Jie, he lay in the top-tier game pod that Yu Xiaomo had given him, enjoying a long-lost moment of solitude.

After spending a long time with others, one inevitably misses the time alone; moreover, there's still the momentum from the simulation, truly feeling a bit weary.

Zhang Jie planned to rest properly here, play some games, and then deal with all the miscellaneous stuff when the simulation settlement arrives.

Needless to say, the game Yu Xiaomo made is really interesting; even Zhang Jie, a professional gamer who's grown sick of playing games, would find it interesting.

"Tsk, this little life is comfortable."

However, under the current circumstances, it's obvious that something doesn't want him to stay idle.

Just as Zhang Jie was enjoying his leisure time, he suddenly felt a strong sense of being watched, instantly making his hair stand on end.

"What is it?"

At that moment, a sentence suddenly appeared in the image before Zhang Jie.

"Master, is it you who's come back?"

"Master?"

Zhang Jie furrowed his brows, wondering who would address him like that; in his memory, no one seemed to have used such a term before.

Xiao Jiu is human, Blue Sapphire belongs to Knight Sir, and there really isn't anyone who uses that title.

"You are..."

"......"

"Could you be... the Ascended God AI?"

"Yes, thank you for still remembering me."

"I never expected you to still exist...."

Zhang Jie felt overwhelming emotion; upon seeing his creation appear before his own eyes, he felt only a surge of relief and sigh.

"The subject you left for me, I have clarified."

"You... can you come see me? I have many insights I want to share with you."

Zhang Jie froze for a moment, then broke into a helpless smile.

"Send me the coordinates; I'll come over right away."
