Chapter 405: The True Value of Hong Mao, the Righteous Hero, Is Still Rising

Zhuan Yi Tian Zhang Zhang Jie suddenly burst into a loud laugh:

"Hahaha, San Shao's current experiences could easily be turned into a novel:

'Alone Guarding the Border for Ten Years, Only to Be Reviled by the Nation,'

'After I Gave Up Guarding the Border, the Whole Nation Regretted It.'"

Facing such an absurd remark, the Consuming Zhang Zhang Jie's face darkened:

"All you need to do right now is delete the 'Yang Shizi' app from your phone."

"Oh, right—there's no internet or smartphones in the Zhuan Yi Tian world you're in."

Zhuan Yi Tian Zhang Zhang Jie clenched his fist and snorted: "Hmph,

With the Consuming Fruit as a high-precision industrial base, I refuse to believe I can't build the internet!

One day, I'll definitely enjoy surfing the web in the Zhuan Yi Tian world!"

If you ask what's hardest after being reborn in an ancient world,

the first thing you face is the inconvenience of clothing, food, shelter, and transport; the second is spiritual emptiness.

Without even discussing depth, just in volume, a modern person's monthly internet browsing

equals the total information intake of an ancient person's entire lifetime.

"Exactly, exactly."

Zhang Zhang Jie from Tian Long and Zhang Zhang Jie from Water Margin, both having lived in ancient worlds for over twenty years, nodded in agreement.

Just as the saying goes, "I could have endured darkness had I never seen the light,"

having enjoyed the convenience of modern life, even though they now hold great power

and can do as they please, they still feel a certain sense of loss.

Now that there's a chance to recreate the convenience of the internet—benefiting themselves

while also advancing their world's technology and improving the people's lives—why not do it?

All three Zhang Jies turned beseeching eyes toward the Consuming Zhang Zhang Jie:

"Consuming, handle the tech data for us."

Though the Consuming Fruit matches the processing power of sci-fi printers, even a skilled housewife can't cook without rice—

without specific tech data, it can't replicate chips or other internet hardware.

This task falls solely to the Consuming Zhang Zhang Jie.

What about the Pirate World, which also has high tech?

Hmm… the Pirate World? The divide between the lower and upper classes is simply too vast.

They can build Peacekeepers—war machines rivaling generals—yet the common folk's tech remains stuck at walking for transport and hand-made entertainment.

Were it not for the Den Den Mushi—likely either a relic of the ancient Great Kingdom or a divine creature born from a Devil Fruit awakening—

even critical communication would still rely on shouting.

Can you believe ordinary Marine soldiers still wield smoothbore muskets?

"I'll handle this."

The Consuming Zhang Zhang Jie nodded, accepting the task.

Though Earth in the Consuming World, after the RR virus outbreak, the Great Evolution, and the utilization of gene energy,

took the path of martial arts where fists shatter mountains and feet tread sun and moon, it never abandoned technology.

With the aid of various interstellar ruins, its tech level continues to rise on a side branch.

When he previously visited the Mingyue Residential Area under the Extreme Martial Arts Gym,

he sensed the threat of hidden technological weapons embedded in the city walls.

Based on his later deductions, it's highly likely they conceal laser cannons modeled after interstellar civilization designs.

Only laser cannons firing at light speed can lock onto lords or even king-level monsters moving at multiple or dozens of times the speed of sound.

There have also been major breakthroughs in internet technology:

Though it doesn't reach the 100% immersive level of the Human Support Force's Virtual Universe Corporation,

they've developed the God Warrior Palace, accessible only to God Warriors and above—

far surpassing 21st-century internet, still stuck in text, images, and 3D.

Given his current relationship with the Extreme Martial Arts Gym, obtaining tech data from decades ago is merely a matter of saying a word.

With his personal interests settled, Zhang Zhang Jie returned to the previous topic.

Zhuan Yi Tian Zhang Zhang Jie raised a question:

"If the old San Shao and Jiangnan both fell into the water, what would you do?"

Pirate Zhang Zhang Jie answered without hesitation:

"If the old Jiangnan and San Shao both fell in, I'd electrify the water."

Zhuan Yi Tian Zhang Zhang Jie asked again: "What about now?"

Pirate Zhang Zhang Jie: "I must save San Shao! As for Jiangnan—after saving San Shao, I'll electrify the water!"

At this sudden shift from arrogance to deference, Water Margin Zhang Zhang Jie laughed heartily:

"This is precisely 'in times of national crisis, good generals are sought; in times of turmoil, loyal ministers are revealed.'"

Tian Long Zhang Zhang Jie covered his face: "Before birth, San Shao was the greatest birth;

after birth, San Shao became the leader of the righteous path."

Pirate Zhang Zhang Jie, half-laughing, half-sighing, gave his evaluation of San Shao:

"The Heavenly Court picked a demon and brought him into heaven, then gave him power to exterminate all demon sects."

Consuming Zhang Zhang Jie stroked his chin and analyzed: "It's not that extreme—San Shao is merely Xu San from Shanghai.

He responded to the Heavenly Court's call and deleted his own 'yellow' content—not his own decision.

After revisions, novels like 'The Bodyguard of the School Beauty' are fine;

the true, mysterious essence of the original can't be changed, so it just died outright.

As for 'The Dead Wife's Douluo,' to be harsh, it's like picking your nose on the street—hardly even a red-light violation."

Water Margin Zhang Zhang Jie agreed: "Net-cleaning up to the eighth transformation is normal; the tenth transformation is a supreme killing technique of heavenly beings.

The tenth transformation isn't something San Shao alone could decide or accomplish—it's a top-tier decision.

Just like Hu Zongxian told Hai Rui in 'The Ming Dynasty':

'You shake the court only because someone in the court wants it shaken.'

Of course, he never expected Hai Rui's 'Memorial on State Stability' would ignite the entire Ming court."

He added, barely holding back:

"But I must say, the ending of 'The Qin Emperor' is truly… uniquely bizarre."

The final boss of San Shao's 'The Qin Emperor' was actually cooked to death—utterly beyond imagination,

making one wonder: Can a carbon-based lifeform even conceive such a textual combination?

Is he really not hiding anything at all?

Zhuan Yi Tian Zhang Zhang Jie posed a soul-stirring question: "If San Shao emerges, defeats Jinjiang, how should we treat him?"

Pirate Zhang Zhang Jie wore a premeditated smile:

"Of course—we don't let him leave after winning. We'll throw him a grand victory banquet."

Tian Long Zhang Zhang Jie smirked: "Not a Hongmen Banquet?"

"Of course not!"

Pirate Zhang Zhang Jie answered solemnly: "We Zhang Jies are respectable people who care about face—

how could we harm a guest and hero at a victory banquet?"

After speaking, a sly smile crept onto his face:

"Of course, once the banquet ends, as hosts, we naturally must see San Shao off."

The victory banquet ended. San Shao was about to leave.

"Hey hey hey, San Shao, don't go! The banquet has just begun!"

As I spoke, I raised my right fist high, quickening my steps,

finally catching up: "Raising my hand isn't an apology—it's my Five-Finger Palm Sword."

We're different—we let him kill Jinjiang, then we kill him!

As I spoke, I raised my right fist high and quickened my steps,

Finally, Pirate Zhang Zhang Jie grinned sheepishly: "After Green River is eliminated, kill the Internet Ban Demon Lord immediately!"

Facing Pirate Zhang Zhang Jie's plan to dismantle the bridge after crossing, Water Margin Zhang Zhang Jie couldn't help mocking:

"What a fine plan—after the Seven Swords unite, kill Ma Hu Sanniang immediately.

The true value of Hong Mao, the genuine righteous leader, is still rising."

Pirate Zhang Zhang Jie, lost in ecstasy: "San Shao and Jinjiang fight to the death,

Jinjiang dies violently, poisoning San Shao in his final moments—how perfectly poetic!"

Tian Long Zhang Zhang Jie smiled and asked: "Not a single word changed?"

Pirate Zhang Zhang Jie, full of righteous indignation: "Historians record truthfully—word for word, unchanged!"

Jinjiang died suddenly, and before death, he poisoned the Third Young Master—how fitting!

Zhang Zhang Jie of the Heavenly Dragon smiled and asked: "Not a single word changed?"

Zhang Zhang Jie of the Pirates wore a look of righteous indignation: "The Shi family records history truthfully—not a single word changed!"

Summarizing Zhang Zhang Jie's consumption: "The Young Master is the source, and antisocial novels are fate parasites,

everyone wishes the fate parasite would disappear, but no one wants the source to survive."

【101】 After consuming Zhang Zhang Jie, it summarized: "San Shao is Yuanzi; anti-society novels are Fate Cysts,

【102】 everyone wishes the Fate Cyst would vanish, but none wish Yuanzi to survive."
