Chapter 552: You are the worst student I've ever taught!

~7 min read 1,234 words

Humanity, do you still want to build another recycling space station?

In this part of the universe, it seems there are still many, many things undiscovered.

Hearing Xiao Jiu's words, Zhang Jie fell into deep thought; this part of the universe is really different from before.

Speaking of now, there is still a large group of pioneers constantly exploring the frontier of the universe; relics like this will surely be more.

Hmm... Indeed it's necessary.

Zhang Jie nodded, waiting for Yuan to figure out the Ship Life and the Alliance biological warship; setting up a recycling station wouldn't be easy, would it?

Hmm, not bad! Approved!

Dragging a planet back is indeed quite spectacular, and when the big brothers at the Alliance Research Institute heard that their big shot had brought back something strange again, they all got excited beyond measure.

Of course, the most shocked was Lin Ran; she couldn't understand how, in just half a day of her being away, Zhang Jie had managed to pull off such a big feat for her.

Looks like... Zhang Jie still isn't tired enough!

Lin Ran thought so, nodded silently, and decided to later squeeze Zhang Jie's ammunition hard.

The planet was placed not far from the Ring World, and ships have been shuttling back and forth from it continuously.

As soon as Zhang Jie got off the warship, he was embraced by the long-awaited Blue Sapphire, while Xiao Jiu could only fume helplessly behind him.

Get down!

Healing medicine!

Blue Sapphire perched on Zhang Jie's shoulder, making faces at Xiao Jiu, who jumped up angrily to grab her.

By the way, where's Weiniya?

Zhang Jie suddenly asked, recalling that this little guy Weiniya had come to the Alliance to break through in martial arts; where did she go now?

Weiniya Sister is in class!

Blue Sapphire answered eagerly, while Zhang Jie was completely bewildered.

Weiniya? Class? What class? Who's giving her class?

Uh... Teacher Yuan said, Weiniya Sister lacks culture, so she needs to be given lessons.

Zhang Jie: ……

Well, that's indeed not a problem; Yuan has loved being a teacher for more than a day or two, and besides, Weiniya really does lack a bit of culture.

No problem; it's perfect that Weiniya never went to school, making up for her childhood experience.

Oh right, by then we'll also bring over Weiniya's younger sister.

Whoa!

Xiao Jiu responded with a sound, gritted her teeth, reached out and pulled the cat clinging to Zhang Jie off him, then said to Zhang Jie with a smiling face.

Humanity, go get busy! Just leave Blue Sapphire to Xiao Jiu to take care of!

Then thanks for the trouble.

Zhang Jie chuckled, turned and walked toward the Alliance Research Institute, while Blue Sapphire struggled wildly in Xiao Jiu's embrace, but Xiao Jiu's arms were like pincers, and Blue Sapphire couldn't break free.

What are you doing! Let go of Blue Sapphire! Blue Sapphire wants to go find Knight Sir!

You go find the market!

Xiao Jiu grabbed Blue Sapphire's chubby cheeks and began to knead them.

Fix the cat, fix the cat; if you keep causing trouble, I'll badmouth you every day in front of humanity!

Blue Sapphire, upon hearing that, snorted and lifted its head disdainfully.

Hmph! I, Blue Sapphire, conduct myself properly; aren't you afraid of gossiping about me to Knight Sir?

Oh? Then you eating so much every day can't be fake, can it?

What's wrong with eating! I don't believe Knight Sir would despise me just because I eat a lot!

Well then...

On this side, Xiao Jiu was frantically coaxing Blue Sapphire, while on the other side Zhang Jie had already arrived at the makeshift small classroom inside the research institute.

Before even entering, he heard Weiniya's utterly miserable wail.

I don't know! I really don't know!

Huh? I'll ask you again! How many layers does this cell membrane have!

Accompanying it was Yuan's scolding voice, and Zhang Jie could already imagine a scene as harsh as Fierce Prison.

Two... two layers?

Wrong!

You are the worst student I've ever taught!

Well, that really wasn't wrong... When has Yuan ever taught a student who wasn't a dragon among men?

The students I used to teach! They mastered hand-building warship technology at age fifteen!

I ain't having it!!!

Weiniya shouted, her misery so great that even Zhang Jie felt pity, yet Zhang Jie still held back the urge to help Weiniya....

First, his brain isn't working well right now; losing face in front of Weiniya would be bad.

Second, let Weiniya read more.... Yuan's teaching level is still decent...

Well, to be honest, he's just cowardly.

Xiaoanchun... you'd better fend for yourself, Teacher can't help you...

Zhang Jie withdrew from the heart....

The following days were quite leisurely; Zhang Jie's daily task was just to check research progress, occasionally spark inspiration from the 'Extraterrestrial Entity', successfully restoring his condition to one-fifth of what it used to be.

This thing is useful for the whole Alliance, and after neural development it speeds up the efficiency of the entire research institute considerably.

For now, the specific effect of the 'Genius ProMax' entry hasn't been found; it's said to raise the upper limit, but it's obvious Zhang Jie can't yet reach that level.

And Weiniya? This poor Xiaoanchun, under Yuan's tutoring, has finally come to understand quite a bit of knowledge; at least she's no longer illiterate.

All this is thanks to Yuan's twelve hours of extra lessons every day, to the point that now Xiaoanchun feels utterly resentful whenever she sees him, like a female ghost.

Weiniya's younger sister was also forcibly brought over by the scheming Zhang Jie to accompany her older sister in attending the miserable class, so now the resentful gazes have increased from one to two.

Unfortunately, the leisurely life couldn't last long; the Alliance, which had just begun expanding its world, soon encountered its first enemy.

An unknown wandering civilization, for unknown reasons, suddenly attacked the Alliance's Flourishing Star; fortunately, Flourishing Star is one of the few mother worlds of the Alliance, and its surrounding planetary defenses are extremely strong, which prevented it from being blown apart.

However, this incident also provoked Lin Ran's fury; without a word she decided to lead a group to annihilate that wandering civilization, but after much persuasion Zhang Jie talked her down.

After Zhang Jie and others speculated and investigated, a major reason for the wandering civilization's attack on the Alliance is that planetary-scale spiritual energy generator.

The opponent's system remains unknown, but there is only one piece of information that can be confirmed.

The opponent is a chaotic-side civilization that cultivates natural disasters!

The chaotic-side civilization does all kinds of strange things: some are merely interstellar pirates, some are caused by ideological turmoil.

But this civilization that cultivates natural disasters is purely a black-market civilization that uses natural disasters to cause trouble.

For example, using natural disasters to wipe out indigenous civilizations and occupy planets, or using natural disasters to produce goods for sale.

In short, the 'pus' lodged on the spiritual energy generator is the natural disaster they are cultivating.

I'll find a way to deal with them; don't rush.

We have an ally who's good at handling this kind of thing, right?

(Stayed up all night finishing up... the ginseng is about to burn out, I'm going to sleep now).
