Chapter 550: On the flying ship, don't call anyone boss!
Zhang Jie rushed anxiously toward the Deep Space Giant Sword; regarding the entropy disaster, he now pretty much understood it.
Entropy disaster—he had experienced it in simulations before; Zhang Jie knew it absolutely could not be matched by current civilization.
Xiao Jiu was also forced to end her chat with close girlfriends, taking two giant beast warships toward the Deep Space Sword.
After learning that the ring world would become the Deep Space Knights' foothold, the Deep Space Giant Sword also shifted toward the Alliance's current position, so Zhang Jie got there quickly.
Behind the Deep Space Giant Sword hung a huge black substance that indeed resembled the indescribable material of sapphire.
But unlike sapphire's indescribable interior, which seemed to follow some pattern, this thing before them felt uncomfortable at first glance.
But.... it wasn't an entropy disaster.
"I said when I came that this thing doesn't belong to any natural disaster system."
"You wouldn't think the Deep Space Knights don't know about entropy disasters, would you?"
The teasing voice of "Auntie" came over, and Zhang Jie then realized, scratching his head sheepishly.
He almost forgot this matter, but why didn't "Auntie" remind him along the way?
"Hmm... let me take a close look."
As Zhang Jie approached the thing behind the Deep Space Giant Sword, a sense of connection came—it was his Nightmare Knights; they likewise felt him, and three meteor‑like objects flew out from the sword's hilt to his side.
They were Golden Vein, plus two other knights evolved from the Star‑Swallowing Insect Emperor and the Blood Disaster Living Star.
Upon seeing Zhang Jie, the knight evolved from the Blood Disaster Living Star opened his mouth and said:
"Boss!"
Zhang Jie:.....
Zhang Jie glanced at his own ship, then at the dark skin of Golden Vein beside him, and instantly felt something was wrong.
"Bu'er, who taught you to call me that?"
"Huh?"
"Hey, anyway, on the flying ship don't call others 'boss'—it's unlucky."
The three Dream‑Start Knights were bewildered, but still nodded obediently.
"Old... Jie brother, how did you suddenly come?"
"I heard you hunted a strange natural disaster, so I came to take a look."
The three knights exchanged glances again—what's there to study about this disaster? Isn't it just an ordinary disaster that grew a bit bigger?
This thing isn't even one of the five major mainstream disasters; it's just a minor offshoot, its power limited—killing it was purely to obtain the Star Sea Hall for money.
How to put it, the research value of this thing might even exceed the value of killing it outright....
Meanwhile, "Auntie" behind Zhang Jie broke into a sweat, fearing her inner little nine‑nine would be exposed, and hurriedly interrupted them.
"Cough cough, it's fine—I invited the Alliance here."
"After all, this 'distortion' is extremely valuable for research."
Hearing that, the three knights understood; since there was nothing wrong, they would go on training.
"Go on, go on, you may return."
Zhang Jie waved his hand, letting his underlings become a bit stronger so that handling things later would be easier.
But.... since "Auntie" already knows what this disaster is, why did she call me over?
Zhang Jie's head felt a bit muddled, his emotional intelligence comparable to a ripe banana.....
"Please come."
"Oh, okay."
"My teacher!"
Weiniya rushed back to the Alliance, finally managing to find its current coordinates.
Looking at the unfamiliar face leading the Alliance Research Institute, Weiniya felt a bit dazed.
That person was Yuan; she had now fully familiarized herself with the Alliance's technology and development, and as a genius she quickly became the foremost authority here.
Seeing Weiniya, her eyes lit up—this little guy was Zhang Jie's designated test subject!
Martial arts was something never seen in the previous era; this novelty held a deadly attraction for the biology master Yuan.
So, once she grasped the Alliance's current technology, she immediately had many radical ideas about it, and upon learning of Weiniya's existence she grew even more excited.
Thus she proposed to Zhang Jie that Weiniya serve as an experimental subject, and of course Zhang Jie readily agreed.
Poor Xiaoanchun, not even realizing she had already been sold by Lao Zhang.
"You must be Miss Weiniya—I've been waiting for you a long time."
"Your teacher went to inspect natural disasters with the Deep Space Knights' Emperor Knights, leaving me here to assist you."
"Also, let me introduce myself—I am Zhang Jie's teacher; just call me Yuan."
Weiniya froze—teacher's teacher? How should I address you?
"Probably Grandmaster?" Weiniya, having never attended school and thus being the least cultured, began to stutter upon seeing Yuan.
"This... that... Grandmaster?"
"Hmm, come lie down—yeah, right, take off your outer clothes."
"Huh?"
Weiniya suddenly felt a chill behind her—who asks someone to undress as soon as they get up!
Really, nobody else!
But Weiniya obediently lay down—her teacher wouldn't harm her!
Teacher's teacher.... probably wouldn't either.... right?
Elsewhere.
Zhang Jie listened to "Auntie" continually explaining the situation before him, even feeling a bit drowsy, and at this moment he finally realized something was off.
How come I feel like the other side keeps stalling for time? It seems like they're trying to find a topic with me, but it feels very stiff.
"Wait! Could she be planning something?"
Zhang Jie, whose EQ is on par with a ripe banana, sensed something off! And his oddness was also detected by Xiao Yi, who instantly felt resigned.
Actually, she just wanted to get closer to the other side's leader; she had no ill intentions, or perhaps not even any ulterior motives.
She's just not good at all this beating around the bush.
"Alright, I won't beat around the bush either; let's get to the point."
"I hope you can join me in eradicating a blood disaster."
"A very powerful natural disaster."
Well, that's a legitimate reason, but why does he have to go?
"It's to have the whole Alliance work together... we need help, except our relationship with the Alliance isn't that close yet."
"If we make a bold invitation now, it could easily affect our relationship."
"Is there any reason that must be eradicated?"
Saying this, Xiao Yi instantly became solemn.
"Of course, that place was once a main-sequence star of a psionic-system civilization."
"The psionic energy there is unimaginably abundant!"
Zhang Jie perked up; psionic energy, ah, is the system most easily forged into an invincible individual combat power—there might be some incredible technology there.
He took on this mission! He, who commands two giant beast warships, is completely unafraid!
