Chapter 545: You wouldn't want your second-in-command to have an accident, would you?

Lin Ran is still smart; facing unknown risks, she chose to let the indescribable blue sapphire take the lead.

Actually, even when the Alliance flagship was halfway through its jump, the Alliance had already regained control permission over the flagship; at that time Lin Ran originally did not intend to continue the jump, but unfortunately she saw the news of the God-Ascender AI.

Well, in short, they were some threatening words; after seeing them, Lin Ran came over eagerly.

For example: Alliance Empress, you wouldn't want your second-in-command to have an accident, would you?

"This thing... is it the blue sapphire? That humanoid creature suspected to be a heavenly disaster?"

"What heavenly disaster! No hat!"

The blue sapphire glanced at Yunxiao; this time she deliberately controlled her force, and didn't knock the Knight Sir flying.

"How come you're here too?"

Lin Ran didn't know when she had appeared beside Zhang Jie; first she pursed her lips at him, then she looked at Yunxiao with great hostility.

The other party shrugged and pointed at the black array planet constantly being pulled out.

"As you can see, that's the thing."

"A supercomputer that has existed in the black hole for countless years, and also Zhang Jie's creation; now it's broken, I've come to collect his remains."

"Correction: these are all gifts I gave my master, a cross-century high-tech product, an absolutely safe cosmic fortress; he just chose to send the high-tech product to you."

The little black ball beside Zhang Jie objected, Lin Ran listened bewildered, and could only direct her pleading gaze toward Zhang Jie.

"Here, look behind; that will be our base from now on."

Lin Ran gazed at the huge black hole ringworld; this thing truly exceeds her cognition. She had seen ringworlds, planetary ringworlds, gas giant ringworlds, but how was a black hole ringworld made?

To say how big the black hole ringworld is, it's roughly like stretching the Alliance flagship until it encircles the entire black hole horizon at a safe distance.

"Ah?"

Lin Ran opened her mouth wide; is this really the Alliance's?

Although the ringworld's mass is less than one hundred-billionth of the black hole's, it absolutely equals several hundred habitable planets.

"What about the Flourishing Star then?"

"Just keep it, as a means to confuse the outside world."

"Why doesn't brother give me such a good thing..."

Yunxiao's gloomy voice sounded from behind the two, like a ghost; Zhang Jie had no reaction, but Lin Ran was startled.

"What are you doing!"

Lin Ran snorted, while Zhang Jie reached out and tugged Yunxiao's cheek, speaking angrily.

"What talk, just making use of things; the Alliance excels in biotech, this thing isn't of much use to them."

"Besides, don't forget who made this thing."

Yunxiao pursed her lips, "Whatever, if not given then not given; anyway these will also be hers in the future! What Lin Ran, she'll only be able to bow at her feet!"

"By the way, Lin Ran, what about Xiao Jiu?"

"Waiting for you inside the flagship, what..."

"It's fine; this little thing wants to meet Xiao Jiu, so Lin Ran, you bring people to dock with this ringworld; I have things to busy myself with."

Lin Ran:.....

"Alright then."

Sometimes Lin Ran really feels she should step down; after fighting for the Alliance for three thousand years, there's not much she can do now.

She.... is actually an outdated old thing.

So Lin Ran wants to rest, wants to relax, wants to experience the daily life she once lost, but now it's indeed not the time.

'Hope that cosmic peace will come one day.'

"Come with me."

Lin Ran said to the little black ball hovering in midair; Xiao Jiu doesn't know why she didn't come down with her, but it doesn't matter; now it seems Xiao Jiu also poses no threat to her.

Because Lin Ran thought carefully for a while; logically, if Xiao Jiu really had that ability, the first person to be eaten wouldn't be her.

Obviously there were many opportunities; even when she was about to be eaten at that time, Xiao Jiu was timid, which is why she dispelled her suspicions about Xiao Jiu.

If she absolutely couldn't bear it! At least.... at least she'd have to sneak a few bites!

Well, at least it has to be like this!

Precisely for this reason, Lin Ran thinks Xiao Jiu seems less threatening than Yunxiao, but if she really thinks that, she'll end up suffering a loss.

However, for now Lin Ran didn't continue to dwell on this topic; she ordered someone to send the little black ball to Xiao Jiu's side, then began planning the work of docking with the ringworld.

When the big brothers of the Alliance Research Institute heard this thing was brought by Zhang Jie, their admiration was beyond words; anyway, it's just awesome!

The God-Ascendant AI also thoughtfully prepared a docking pier for the Alliance flagship; whether it was pre-designed or something else, the docking work went unusually smoothly.

And the little black ball formally met Xiao Jiu.

"Hey! How did you come here!"

"Jiu, are you happy to see me?"

"Of course!"

For Xiao Jiu, the God-Ascendant AI is her great benefactor, who brought her to the world countless years later; the second person Xiao Jiu wants to see is the God-Ascendant AI.

"You just came straight to find me like this, really no problem?"

"I mean, won't any uncontrollable things happen?"

"Rest assured, cause and effect have already closed the loop; my actions won't affect anything."

"By the way, Jiu, let me tell you something."

Xiao Jiu:?

"I have *********"

"What the God-Ascendant AI told Xiao Jiu, no one besides the two of them knows, not even Zhang Jie."

And at this moment, Zhang Jie had just returned to the Alliance's giant ship; he hadn't left here, the reason he said he had business was because of the simulator.

This simulation's rewards have been settled! Please claim them!

That's why he said he had business; the settlement of the simulation is definitely the main part.

But... what use are simulation points now?

Having the memory and experience from the previous simulation, much of the technology Zhang Jie had in the mall is no longer usable; so what can this thing do now?

Zhang Jie was pondering when a figure suddenly rushed out and knocked him hard.

It was Xiao Jiu.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, humanity! I have an emergency!

Xiao Jiu said that, then leapt up and rushed out, leaving Zhang Jie with a bewildered face.

Every one of them, why are they all in such a hurry?
