Chapter 562: Not exhausted! I've become a bad cat!

You.... what did you do to me!

Lin Ran drooled, looking somewhat resentfully at Zhang Jie, but her body was in a Ge You slump, lying on the chair.

It seemed like not much time had passed, but in fact a whole day had gone by.

You got dazed?

Zhang Jie waved his hand in front of Lin Ran's eyes, but her gaze didn't change at all, staring straight ahead; yet upon closer look, one could see her eyes were unfocused.

Hey, you stupid donkey, you have your day too.

Zhang Jie felt great; indeed, psychic energy is correct! Relying on the power of idealism, Zhang Jie's bullets are almost limitless!

As long as Zhang Jie believes he can defeat Lin Ran, he will be influenced by the power of idealism, although this will consume a lot of psychic energy....

But so what! Psychic energy is the last thing Zhang Jie lacks; the psychic energy in those 'Ancestral Relics' is virtually limitless, and as soon as his psychic energy runs out, it can be replenished instantly.

Lin Ran has utterly lost this time.

"Ugh... damn... hateful..."

Yeh? You're awake, then let's go another round!

Lin Ran, who had just barely come to, finally realized what she had said that she shouldn't have, and looked at Zhang Jie with a frightened expression.

You bring the medicine over!!

Didn't you say you could drink it plain? Now it looks like you have to go to the kids' table.

I... won't admit defeat!!!

Ugh!

At this moment, a little cat was outside; Blue Sapphire had a dazed expression, as if the cosmos had evolved behind its head.

What happened, meow....

Ugh, how weird, meow!

Blue Sapphire knocked on the door with a bang, and the sound inside suddenly stopped.

Actually, Sir! No eating alone! I want some too!!!

Zhang Jie didn't respond; after a moment, a hand reached out and grabbed Blue Sapphire's collar.

Meow? Knight Sir, what are you doing?

Zhang Jie squeezed out from the door behind him, quickly shut it, and Blue Sapphire sniffed twice, looking puzzled.

However, the next moment she had no need to wonder, for Zhang Jie began displaying an extraordinary cat-petting technique, rubbing her belly, behind the ears, and chin, and he went in circles!

Meow~

Blue Sapphire's silky fur was tousled from the rubbing, Zhang Jie's hand speed kept increasing, and at this moment Blue Sapphire finally sensed something was wrong.

Wait! Wait a minute, Knight Sir!

A bit... a bit too...

As everyone knows, if you pet a cat too quickly and make it feel good, it will bite you and then run away.

Zhang Jie exploited this, giving Blue Sapphire no chance to catch its breath, his hand moving so fast it left an afterimage.

Finally, under Zhang Jie's fierce attack on Blue Sapphire's cat ears, she couldn't hold back her instinct, she grabbed Zhang Jie's arm and gave a sharp bite.

It wasn't really a bite, more like the feeling of suddenly lunging to nibble during play; it hurt a bit but left no wound.

Afterward, Blue Sapphire did a bunny kick and ran off on all fours.

Phew, finally got rid of her.

Zhang Jie rubbed his numb wrist, gave a weird geigei laugh, and went back into the room behind him.

How did you come back again!!!

From inside came Lin Ran's voice, breaking through....

In the little nest Zhang Jie prepared for Blue Sapphire, she was like a wind-up toy, hugging a pillow and kicking it hard while biting, very much in line with feline traits.

This winding-up behavior lasted several minutes; the poor little pillow ended its rough consciousness, and Blue Sapphire likewise kicked out her fatigue, her reason slowly returning.

The scene just now gradually surfaced in her mind, and Blue Sapphire finally realized what she had done.

Wuwu! How did I bite Knight Sir!

I'm not just a luxury cat....

Oh no, I won't become a stray cat, will I?

Blue Sapphire pouted and began to reflect on herself; she knew that bad cats are a species despised by humans.

As a luxury cat, she disdains associating with bad cats!

But now, having nibbled Zhang Jie, her luxury-cat status is not guaranteed...

I won't be trampled by Knight Sir in war, will I?

Pah! Knight Sir is a good person; he certainly wouldn't treat me like that!

Blue Sapphire sank into endless contemplation.

(Promise ginseng, medicine exchange for software okay! I know this is hard but it's an order!!!)

By the way... Old Zhang, how did you suddenly become so strong?

Could you be taking drugs?

Get lost, what are you thinking? Do you think I've been avoiding you lately to do something? I'm going to improve myself!

Lin Ran gave a white-eye, reached out to rub her stomach; good thing her body is flexible, otherwise....

Although not obvious, if you look closely you'll see Lin Ran's stomach is actually a bit swollen.

A belly full of white liquor, Lin Ran felt she wouldn't need to eat for at least three days.

How so, finally honest?

"You're so soulless...."

"However, why don't you go look at that little cat?"

"She, huh."

"Zhang Jie didn't mind too much; he'd just overdone the petting. He'd probably come back after a while—he'd even done that much petting in the simulation before."

"Well, but this time it's a lesson; next time when doing something shady, I really need to find a place nobody knows."

"Hmm... where's Xiao Jiu? I haven't seen her in several days."

"The Small Ship Girl and her close friend went out with the No. 2 Battleship; there's nothing to be done, her close friend really wants to go out and have a look."

"After saying that, half a day passed with no reply; Zhang Jie turned and saw that Lin Ran had already fallen asleep."

"Well.... whether she died in her sleep or something else, Zhang Jie couldn't really say."

"Ah, forget it, I won't bother her."

"Zhang Jie picked up Lin Ran, settled her, then decided to do some proper work—for instance, handle diplomacy, conduct research. In short, since the Original Cognition is 'leading the Alliance to the peak,' we ought to do something concrete."

"Moreover, the third stage of spiritual power—'Synapse Awakening'—is also closely related to the Original Cognition."

"'Xiao Yi's' realm is not far from what Zhang Jie guessed; it is exactly the third realm, 'Synapse Awakening,' and the meaning of 'Synapse Awakening' lies in practicing the content of the Original Cognition."

"The Original Cognition can even be considered a kind of spiritual inheritance, just like the Emperor Knights of the Deep Space Knights; each Emperor Knight left behind their own precepts."

"Moreover, anything that regards you as a leader, or is related to your Original Cognition, will make you stronger and stronger."

"In short, idealism is hard to explain, but according to Zhang Jie's understanding, the more people in the Alliance think he's awesome, the more awesome he becomes."

"That's roughly the meaning, and moreover, in the future when someone can take the leader's position, they should also be able to obtain some of Zhang Jie's power; otherwise, Zhang Jie wouldn't have much to say."

"Let's see how the progress is going over there in the Abyss."

"Zhang Jie dressed neatly and headed toward the Alliance Research Institute."
