Chapter 548: Aunt's Visit

A good night's dream, this is a beautiful night.

But for our Old Zhang, it wasn't so friendly.

Zhang Jie had been holding a breath in his heart; after this simulation he still hasn't developed! Wait for him to develop! Wait for his later stage!

Lin Ran had fun, what about him?

Cough cough, he also had fun, hehe~

Zhang Jie gave a dry cough twice, stopping the thoughts in his head; he's quite busy today.

Yesterday, Xiao Jiu brought Yuan back; although we don't know how they came to the present world, it's definitely related to the God-Ascender AI.

Could this be the surprise the God-Ascender AI spoke of? Probably, after all, the size of those two giant beast warships is comparable to half an Alliance warship, and there's Yuan, an expert on Ship Life.

Zhang Jie tidied his clothes and slowly walked into the pre-arranged cabin.

What came into view was Yuan, wearing glasses and examining data.

On the other side were three Ship Girls chattering together; this scene instantly evoked his memories.

"Yo, you came?"

"Don't just stand there, come catch up."

Yuan first spotted Zhang Jie, smiling and greeting him; this sparse, ordinary feeling made it seem as if they had only just parted briefly, as if they hadn't been separated for countless ages.

"Mm, I came!"

Communication between scholars is always highly efficient; given the current situation, Zhang Jie only needed a few words, and Yuan almost fully understood.

And Yuan's situation is a bit complicated.

Since Xiao Jiu disappeared, the most explosive thing has been her; although Xiao Jiu isn't very smart, she at least could share some of the burden, an absolutely trusted helper.

But once Xiao Jiu disappeared, well, Yuan nearly became a spinning top from busyness, nearly collapsed from exhaustion; even dozens of bodies wouldn't be enough.

So, the first thing she did when she had free time was to thoroughly investigate the truth behind Xiao Jiu's disappearance!

So, with her genius-level wisdom, she actually traced it to the God-Ascender AI.

After they assessed whether Yuan was trustworthy, they slowly revealed the truth of the matter; even Yuan found this theory unbelievable.

Do organisms truly possess souls? Yuan believes they do, but after countless years, relying on the free movement of particles to piece together an identical person—is that really realistic?

The God-Ascender AI sent an invitation to Yuan; in fact, if it wishes, it can send everyone in this universe to the next century with 100% certainty.

Go or not go? This question began to wander in Yuan's heart.

She has nothing left to hold onto in this world; according to Chen's words, she's actually an old thing that should have been buried long ago.

As for Huang Luo, after everything was settled, he just couldn't wait to pass away; I don't know why he was so anxious. In short, Yuan is now truly a lone one.

Originally she still wanted to contribute more talent to the world through her own efforts, but after a series of events involving the upper echelons of the Iron Law Star Alliance, she also lost interest in continuing to contribute to this civilization.

She has already contributed enough.

"Well, that's about the situation; I finally came over and, as a side note, retrieved those two little things."

Zhang Jie's mouth twitched twice, Yuan teacher you...

"You did a great job!"

Zhang Jie gave a thumbs up.

"In short, as the saying goes, since you're here, just settle down and stay."

"This is the Alliance! The Zhengyuan Alliance! Yuan teacher, this place will definitely give you a different experience!"

Yuan smiled and nodded; she had learned about this before she came, and she really likes the atmosphere here.

However, there is still one most important matter.

"Well, what is it? In your universe, or rather the current universe, the physical rules have become different..."

"Simply put, the technology from that century isn't very usable anymore."

"Physical rules???"

Zhang Jie froze; as expected of a top scholar, he immediately sensed something was off.

"Well, all in all, many things in this world are not the same; I need time to adapt."

"As for Ship Life, I believe you have more experience starting from zero than I do."

That's settled! But now Zhang Jie's brain isn't working well....

"Cough cough, Yuan teacher, shall we first discuss the Extraterrestrial Entity plan?"

"To be honest, my brain... isn't as good as before; I also need to recover....."

"This really is a pretty good era..."

Dai Tao felt deeply moved; this wondrous world, this wondrous power, this place truly is where she has dreamed of being.

Most crucially! This civilization actually also has an existence similar to Ship Life!

"Hmph! That's right! This is a human civilization!"

The reason Yuan brought those two guys along is also because she only knows those two; she doesn't know anyone else!

"Let me tell you! The humans in this universe are really awesome!"

"Do you know the predecessor of this civilization?"

Xiao Jiu started bragging, though it's not really bragging, after all these things have real prototypes.

But she just added a little bit extra....

In short, she gave Dai Tao and Qiong a confusing runaround; the three little ones just chatted like that, and before they knew it, a day had passed.

Although they were chatting last night as well, poor Xiao Jiu didn't know that Lin Ran had to eat again.

However, the current peace still needs to be maintained; we don't know when the entropy disaster will occur, but Zhang Jie will definitely make preparations.

However, what's strange to Zhang Jie is that the entropy disaster in the previous simulation didn't seem as oppressive as he imagined; could it be because the technology in that simulation was strong?

That remains unknown for now.

The Alliance's docking with the ring world is perfect, all departments have already stationed in their corresponding regions, and they are continually expanding the unknown areas of the ring world.

Moreover, the remnants of the ascended at Yunxiao have also been put to maximum use; although most of them are already damaged, after all this is Star Alliance-level technology, the Intelligent Machine Empress still managed to dismantle the more useful parts.

Nowadays, the Intelligent Machine Empress's computing power has already reached one-thousandth of the level of the previous ascended, which is already quite good.

At least Zhang Jie thinks so.

Furthermore, with Yuan's addition, the Alliance Research Institute has begun rapid development; speaking of that extraterrestrial entity, Yuan already has a clue, and indeed there's no need for Zhang Jie to spend research points.

Having settled the Alliance's affairs, Zhang Jie finally can take up his previous work, namely the matter concerning the Deep Space Knight.

But he didn't expect that Xiao Yi would actually find Zhang Jie first.

(Didi! Dear godfathers, gathering inspiration for the next simulation!)
