Chapter‌ ‌4:‌ ‌Isn’t‌ ‌that‌ ‌love‌ ‌at‌ ‌first‌ ‌sight?‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌returned‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌communication‌ ‌array.‌ ‌Using‌ ‌the‌ ‌

components‌ ‌that‌ ‌he‌ ‌collected‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌garbage‌ ‌pile,‌ ‌he‌ ‌

assembled‌ ‌and‌ ‌fixed,‌ ‌spending‌ ‌an‌ ‌entire‌ ‌night‌ ‌to‌ ‌finally‌ ‌replace‌ ‌

all‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌broken‌ ‌installations‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌original‌ ‌communication‌ ‌array.‌ ‌



At‌ ‌this‌ ‌moment,‌ ‌the‌ ‌sky‌ ‌was‌ ‌bright.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌the‌ ‌trash‌ ‌planet‌ ‌

still‌ ‌remained‌ ‌enveloped‌ ‌by‌ ‌a‌ ‌grey‌ ‌fog.‌ ‌



“ZzhhZZzZhzzhhz.”‌ ‌



The‌ ‌communication‌ ‌array‌ ‌rebooted.‌ ‌Like‌ ‌an‌ ‌old‌ ‌ventilator,‌ ‌it‌ ‌

seemed‌ ‌like‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌about‌ ‌to‌ ‌lose‌ ‌connection‌ ‌at‌ ‌any‌ ‌time.‌ ‌



A‌ ‌drop‌ ‌of‌ ‌blood‌ ‌flowed‌ ‌out‌ ‌of‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌nose.‌ ‌His‌ ‌skin‌ ‌has‌ ‌

been‌ ‌exposed‌ ‌under‌ ‌the‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌for‌ ‌a‌ ‌long‌ ‌period‌ ‌of‌ ‌time‌ ‌

already‌ ‌and‌ ‌has‌ ‌started‌ ‌to‌ ‌peel.‌ ‌Later‌ ‌on,‌ ‌it’d‌ ‌start‌ ‌to‌ ‌fester.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌expressionlessly‌ ‌wiped‌ ‌away‌ ‌the‌ ‌blood‌ ‌from‌ ‌his‌ ‌

nose‌ ‌and‌ ‌continued‌ ‌to‌ ‌adjust‌ ‌the‌ ‌communication‌ ‌array,‌ ‌entering‌ ‌

in‌ ‌his‌ ‌battleship’s‌ ‌frequency‌ ‌signal.‌ ‌



His‌ ‌AI‌ ‌was‌ ‌damaged‌ ‌completely‌ ‌during‌ ‌the‌ ‌battle.‌ ‌Therefore,‌ ‌he‌ ‌

can‌ ‌only‌ ‌enter‌ ‌the‌ ‌frequency‌ ‌using‌ ‌the‌ ‌communication‌ ‌device.‌ ‌



The‌ ‌sound‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌electronic‌ ‌static‌ ‌was‌ ‌very‌ ‌ear-piercing.‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌

XiaoYun‌ ‌patiently‌ ‌waited,‌ ‌his‌ ‌handsome‌ ‌face‌ ‌continued‌ ‌to‌ ‌remain‌ ‌

calm‌ ‌and‌ ‌composed.‌ ‌



Finally,‌ ‌a‌ ‌dozen‌ ‌or‌ ‌more‌ ‌minutes‌ ‌later,‌ ‌he‌ ‌received‌ ‌a‌ ‌reply.‌ ‌



A‌ ‌familiar‌ ‌voice‌ ‌transmitted‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌uniquely‌ ‌installed‌ ‌

communication‌ ‌receiver.‌ ‌The‌ ‌voice‌ ‌carried‌ ‌a‌ ‌tone‌ ‌of‌ ‌exhaustion:‌ ‌

“We‌ ‌have‌ ‌acquired‌ ‌a‌ ‌portion‌ ‌of‌ ‌your‌ ‌signal.‌ ‌A‌ ‌search‌ ‌and‌ ‌rescue‌ ‌

team‌ ‌will‌ ‌analyze‌ ‌this‌ ‌signal‌ ‌and‌ ‌figure‌ ‌out‌ ‌your‌ ‌exact‌ ‌location.‌ ‌

Next‌ ‌time,‌ ‌I‌ ‌suggest‌ ‌you‌ ‌contact‌ ‌a‌ ‌nearby‌ ‌patrol‌ ‌ship.‌ ‌Our‌ ‌

battleship……”‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌interrupted‌ ‌him:‌ ‌“Vice-admiral‌ ‌Cheng.”‌ ‌ ‌



On‌ ‌the‌ ‌other‌ ‌side,‌ ‌it‌ ‌abruptly‌ ‌silenced‌ ‌for‌ ‌a‌ ‌moment.‌ ‌Then,‌ ‌

exhaustion‌ ‌swept‌ ‌away,‌ ‌the‌ ‌voice‌ ‌shouted‌ ‌excitedly:‌ ‌“Boss!”‌ ‌



Vice-admiral‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌was‌ ‌extremely‌ ‌emotional:‌ ‌“Boss,‌ ‌is‌ ‌it‌ ‌

really‌ ‌you?‌ ‌Where‌ ‌are‌ ‌you‌ ‌right‌ ‌now?‌ ‌Your‌ ‌signal‌ ‌is‌ ‌too‌ ‌weak!‌ ‌

Wait‌ ‌a‌ ‌second,‌ ‌I‌ ‌will‌ ‌strengthen‌ ‌the‌ ‌connection‌ ‌immediately!”‌ ‌



The‌ ‌connection‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌communication‌ ‌was‌ ‌increased.‌ ‌This‌ ‌faint‌ ‌

signal‌ ‌finally‌ ‌stabilized.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌waste‌ ‌his‌ ‌breath.‌ ‌After‌ ‌saying‌ ‌his‌ ‌location,‌ ‌he‌ ‌

reported‌ ‌the‌ ‌trash‌ ‌planet‌ ‌B-324’s‌ ‌coordinates:‌ ‌“The‌ ‌intergalactic‌ ‌

port‌ ‌has‌ ‌records‌ ‌of‌ ‌B-324’s‌ ‌location.‌ ‌You‌ ‌can‌ ‌find‌ ‌an‌ ‌old‌ ‌travel‌ ‌

route‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌intergalactic‌ ‌port.”‌ ‌



“Hurry‌ ‌up!!‌ ‌Verify‌ ‌B-324’s‌ ‌position‌ ‌immediately‌ ‌and‌ ‌set‌ ‌a‌ ‌new‌ ‌

navigation‌ ‌route!”‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌hastily‌ ‌delegated‌ ‌the‌ ‌task‌ ‌

downward.‌ ‌



When‌ ‌he‌ ‌returned‌ ‌again,‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue’s‌ ‌voice‌ ‌was‌ ‌choked‌ ‌with‌ ‌

emotion:‌ ‌“Boss,‌ ‌I‌ ‌can’t‌ ‌even‌ ‌believe‌ ‌it.‌ ‌It’s‌ ‌really‌ ‌you.‌ ‌How‌ ‌are‌ ‌

you‌ ‌right‌ ‌now?‌ ‌Are‌ ‌you‌ ‌injured?‌ ‌Is‌ ‌it‌ ‌bad?‌ ‌After‌ ‌your‌ ‌incident,‌ ‌

we’ve‌ ‌never‌ ‌given‌ ‌up‌ ‌searching‌ ‌for‌ ‌you.‌ ‌The‌ ‌military‌ ‌has‌ ‌been‌ ‌

suppressing‌ ‌the‌ ‌news‌ ‌this‌ ‌entire‌ ‌time‌ ‌as‌ ‌well.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌you‌ ‌

should‌ ‌know‌ ‌as‌ ‌well,‌ ‌this‌ ‌can’t‌ ‌be‌ ‌hidden‌ ‌for‌ ‌too‌ ‌long……”‌ ‌



During‌ ‌this‌ ‌battle‌ ‌with‌ ‌the‌ ‌Alien‌ ‌Insects,‌ ‌because‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌physical‌ ‌

appearance‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Alien‌ ‌Insects‌ ‌Empress,‌ ‌the‌ ‌Capital‌ ‌Planet,‌ ‌and‌ ‌

pretty‌ ‌much‌ ‌the‌ ‌entire‌ ‌Empire‌ ‌as‌ ‌well,‌ ‌were‌ ‌all‌ ‌paying‌ ‌close‌ ‌

attention‌ ‌to‌ ‌this‌ ‌military‌ ‌campaign.‌ ‌The‌ ‌news‌ ‌of‌ ‌Admiral‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌

XiaoYun‌ ‌and‌ ‌the‌ ‌Alien‌ ‌Insect‌ ‌Empress‌ ‌perishing‌ ‌together‌ ‌really‌ ‌

couldn’t‌ ‌be‌ ‌concealed.‌ ‌



All‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌citizens‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Empire‌ ‌were‌ ‌praying‌ ‌for‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌

over‌ ‌the‌ ‌internet,‌ ‌including‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌within‌ ‌the‌ ‌3rd‌ ‌legion‌ ‌that‌ ‌

was‌ ‌under‌ ‌the‌ ‌Admiral’s‌ ‌command.‌ ‌Everyone‌ ‌had‌ ‌a‌ ‌‘Not‌ ‌dead‌ ‌

unless‌ ‌we‌ ‌see‌ ‌a‌ ‌corpse’‌ ‌attitude.‌ ‌Unable‌ ‌to‌ ‌find‌ ‌the‌ ‌remains‌ ‌of‌ ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌mecha,‌ ‌they‌ ‌can‌ ‌comfort‌ ‌themselves‌ ‌by‌ ‌saying‌ ‌

the‌ ‌Admiral‌ ‌must‌ ‌still‌ ‌be‌ ‌alive.‌ ‌



However,‌ ‌8‌ ‌days‌ ‌has‌ ‌already‌ ‌passed.‌ ‌Hope‌ ‌was‌ ‌growing‌ ‌more‌ ‌

and‌ ‌more‌ ‌uncertain.‌ ‌There‌ ‌were‌ ‌even‌ ‌some‌ ‌other‌ ‌nations‌ ‌fanning‌ ‌

the‌ ‌flame‌ ‌with‌ ‌ill‌ ‌intent,‌ ‌posting‌ ‌declarations‌ ‌of‌ ‌grief‌ ‌for‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌

XiaoYun‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌galactic‌ ‌internet,‌ ‌practically‌ ‌jinxing‌ ‌the‌ ‌battle‌ ‌god‌ ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌to‌ ‌die‌ ‌asap.‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌and‌ ‌the‌ ‌others‌ ‌almost‌ ‌

died‌ ‌of‌ ‌anger‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌maintained‌ ‌his‌ ‌usual‌ ‌calm,‌ ‌as‌ ‌if‌ ‌he‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌the‌ ‌one‌ ‌

being‌ ‌mourned‌ ‌by‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌online.‌ ‌He‌ ‌asked‌ ‌indifferently:‌ ‌

“How’s‌ ‌mother?”‌ ‌



Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“Madam‌ ‌is‌ ‌terribly‌ ‌sad.‌ ‌The‌ ‌guard‌ ‌transmitted‌ ‌

a‌ ‌message‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌Madam‌ ‌saying‌ ‌she‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌us‌ ‌to‌ ‌find‌ ‌you‌ ‌and‌ ‌

bring‌ ‌you‌ ‌back‌ ‌no‌ ‌matter‌ ‌what.”‌ ‌



Even‌ ‌if‌ ‌they‌ ‌had‌ ‌to‌ ‌bring‌ ‌back‌ ‌only‌ ‌remains.‌ ‌



Acknowledging‌ ‌with‌ ‌an‌ ‌‘en’,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌asked:‌ ‌“Do‌ ‌you‌ ‌have‌ ‌

the‌ ‌navigation‌ ‌route?”‌ ‌



Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌just‌ ‌happened‌ ‌to‌ ‌receive‌ ‌the‌ ‌map‌ ‌only‌ ‌a‌ ‌few‌ ‌

seconds‌ ‌after‌ ‌his‌ ‌Admiral‌ ‌asked‌ ‌the‌ ‌question.‌ ‌



Pausing‌ ‌briefly,‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌realized‌ ‌that‌ ‌the‌ ‌boss‌ ‌must‌ ‌have‌ ‌

been‌ ‌listening‌ ‌to‌ ‌his‌ ‌nonsense‌ ‌all‌ ‌this‌ ‌time,‌ ‌perhaps‌ ‌because‌ ‌he‌ ‌

was‌ ‌waiting‌ ‌for‌ ‌this‌ ‌navigation‌ ‌map……‌ ‌



Not‌ ‌because‌ ‌he‌ ‌had‌ ‌missed‌ ‌them‌ ‌very‌ ‌much.‌ ‌



Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌hastily‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“I‌ ‌just‌ ‌got‌ ‌it.‌ ‌Boss,‌ ‌I‌ ‌discovered‌ ‌that‌ ‌

the‌ ‌closest‌ ‌warp‌ ‌point‌ ‌to‌ ‌B-324‌ ‌is‌ ‌already‌ ‌closed‌ ‌down.‌ ‌We‌ ‌need‌ ‌

to‌ ‌warp‌ ‌to‌ ‌a‌ ‌nearby‌ ‌stop‌ ‌first‌ ‌and‌ ‌restart‌ ‌the‌ ‌warp‌ ‌point‌ ‌to‌ ‌reach‌ ‌

B-324.”‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌asked:‌ ‌“How‌ ‌many‌ ‌days?”‌ ‌



Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“Four‌ ‌days‌ ‌at‌ ‌least.”‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“En.”‌ ‌



Four‌ ‌days‌ ‌can’t‌ ‌be‌ ‌considered‌ ‌particularly‌ ‌long.‌ ‌The‌ ‌universe‌ ‌was‌ ‌

enormous.‌ ‌The‌ ‌distance‌ ‌between‌ ‌galaxies‌ ‌was‌ ‌huge.‌ ‌To‌ ‌reach‌ ‌

some‌ ‌planets‌ ‌that‌ ‌even‌ ‌had‌ ‌warp‌ ‌points,‌ ‌it’d‌ ‌still‌ ‌take‌ ‌half‌ ‌a‌ ‌

month.‌ ‌



Four‌ ‌days‌ ‌was‌ ‌already‌ ‌short.‌ ‌



In‌ ‌order‌ ‌to‌ ‌gain‌ ‌a‌ ‌more‌ ‌accurate‌ ‌pinpoint‌ ‌of‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌

location,‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌kept‌ ‌the‌ ‌connection‌ ‌open‌ ‌instead‌ ‌of‌ ‌

cutting‌ ‌it‌ ‌off.‌ ‌



When‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌returned‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌escape‌ ‌pod,‌ ‌he‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌see‌ ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌the‌ ‌Divine‌ ‌Image‌ ‌was‌ ‌still‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌wall.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌gave‌ ‌a‌ ‌look‌ ‌at‌ ‌this‌ ‌statue.‌ ‌He‌ ‌had‌ ‌to‌ ‌say,‌ ‌this‌ ‌

statue‌ ‌really‌ ‌looked‌ ‌very‌ ‌similar‌ ‌to‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou.‌ ‌No‌ ‌one‌ ‌would‌ ‌

doubt‌ ‌these‌ ‌two‌ ‌were‌ ‌father‌ ‌and‌ ‌son.‌ ‌Some‌ ‌people‌ ‌might‌ ‌even‌ ‌

believe‌ ‌that‌ ‌this‌ ‌was‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌himself.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌and‌ ‌his‌ ‌war‌ ‌god‌ ‌father,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌Tian,‌ ‌also‌ ‌looked‌ ‌very‌ ‌

much‌ ‌alike.‌ ‌For‌ ‌a‌ ‌period‌ ‌just‌ ‌after‌ ‌his‌ ‌father‌ ‌died‌ ‌in‌ ‌battle,‌ ‌his‌ ‌

mother‌ ‌would‌ ‌always‌ ‌feel‌ ‌uncontrollable‌ ‌sadness‌ ‌whenever‌ ‌she‌ ‌

saw‌ ‌his‌ ‌face.‌ ‌It‌ ‌was‌ ‌so‌ ‌bad‌ ‌that‌ ‌around‌ ‌that‌ ‌time,‌ ‌he‌ ‌pretty‌ ‌much‌ ‌

didn’t‌ ‌dare‌ ‌to‌ ‌appear‌ ‌in‌ ‌front‌ ‌of‌ ‌his‌ ‌mother.‌ ‌



Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌was‌ ‌sleeping‌ ‌in‌ ‌his‌ ‌Divine‌ ‌Image.‌ ‌ ‌



After‌ ‌sensing‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌return,‌ ‌he‌ ‌woke‌ ‌up.‌ ‌



As‌ ‌soon‌ ‌as‌ ‌he‌ ‌opened‌ ‌his‌ ‌eyes,‌ ‌he‌ ‌saw‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌staring‌ ‌at‌ ‌

his‌ ‌Divine‌ ‌Image.‌ ‌ ‌



Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌became‌ ‌somewhat‌ ‌excited.‌ ‌



Is‌ ‌he‌ ‌about‌ ‌to‌ ‌worship‌ ‌me?‌ ‌



Worship‌ ‌me!‌ ‌I‌ ‌can‌ ‌make‌ ‌you‌ ‌rich!‌ ‌



Under‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou’s‌ ‌immense‌ ‌anticipation,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌made‌ ‌a‌ ‌

customary‌ ‌gesture‌ ‌that‌ ‌the‌ ‌galactic‌ ‌people‌ ‌used‌ ‌to‌ ‌mourn‌ ‌for‌ ‌

elders.‌ ‌Then‌ ‌he‌ ‌laid‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌makeshift‌ ‌bed‌ ‌and‌ ‌started‌ ‌to‌ ‌write.‌ ‌



Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou:‌ ‌“.......”‌ ‌



Why‌ ‌was‌ ‌it‌ ‌so‌ ‌hard‌ ‌to‌ ‌gain‌ ‌a‌ ‌follower!‌ ‌



He‌ ‌lowered‌ ‌his‌ ‌head‌ ‌and‌ ‌glanced‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌little‌ ‌round‌ ‌ball‌ ‌hanging‌ ‌

on‌ ‌his‌ ‌neck.‌ ‌



This‌ ‌little‌ ‌round,‌ ‌marble-like‌ ‌ball‌ ‌looked‌ ‌small,‌ ‌but‌ ‌it‌ ‌had‌ ‌an‌ ‌

enormous‌ ‌space‌ ‌inside.‌ ‌



This‌ ‌was‌ ‌a‌ ‌faith‌ ‌collection‌ ‌device.‌ ‌



During‌ ‌the‌ ‌training‌ ‌period,‌ ‌an‌ ‌intern‌ ‌God‌ ‌of‌ ‌Wealth‌ ‌needed‌ ‌to‌ ‌fill‌ ‌

up‌ ‌the‌ ‌faith‌ ‌collection‌ ‌device‌ ‌in‌ ‌order‌ ‌to‌ ‌become‌ ‌a‌ ‌proper‌ ‌god.‌ ‌



However,‌ ‌right‌ ‌now,‌ ‌his‌ ‌faith‌ ‌collection‌ ‌device‌ ‌was‌ ‌so‌ ‌empty,‌ ‌

there’s‌ ‌not‌ ‌even‌ ‌a‌ ‌piece‌ ‌of‌ ‌dust!‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌suddenly‌ ‌raised‌ ‌his‌ ‌head‌ ‌and‌ ‌looked‌ ‌directly‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌

Divine‌ ‌Image.‌ ‌



Was‌ ‌it‌ ‌his‌ ‌misconception?‌ ‌



He‌ ‌faintly‌ ‌felt‌ ‌a‌ ‌pair‌ ‌of‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌watching‌ ‌him‌ ‌attentively.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌examined‌ ‌the‌ ‌Divine‌ ‌Image‌ ‌for‌ ‌a‌ ‌while.‌ ‌Not‌ ‌finding‌ ‌

any‌ ‌issues,‌ ‌he‌ ‌slowly‌ ‌withdrew‌ ‌his‌ ‌gaze‌ ‌and‌ ‌continued‌ ‌to‌ ‌take‌ ‌

notes.‌ ‌



Forcibly‌ ‌landing‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌trash‌ ‌planet‌ ‌B-324:‌ ‌Day‌ ‌9.‌ ‌



The‌ ‌communication‌ ‌array‌ ‌has‌ ‌already‌ ‌been‌ ‌fixed.‌ ‌Connection‌ ‌

established‌ ‌with‌ ‌the‌ ‌3rd‌ ‌legion‌ ‌vice-admiral,‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue.‌ ‌



Number‌ ‌of‌ ‌nutritional‌ ‌supplements‌ ‌remaining‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌escape‌ ‌pod:‌ ‌

3‌ ‌bottles.‌ ‌



Apparent‌ ‌physical‌ ‌symptoms‌ ‌have‌ ‌appeared‌ ‌due‌ ‌to‌ ‌radiation.‌ ‌



Ruled‌ ‌out‌ ‌the‌ ‌possibility‌ ‌of‌ ‌‘Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou’‌ ‌being‌ ‌a‌ ‌native‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌

trash‌ ‌planet‌ ‌B-324.‌ ‌



The‌ ‌likelihood‌ ‌of‌ ‌other‌ ‌natives‌ ‌existing‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌trash‌ ‌planet‌ ‌B-324:‌ ‌

Extremely‌ ‌low.‌ ‌



Suspicious‌ ‌point:‌ ‌‘Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou’‌ ‌is‌ ‌not‌ ‌affected‌ ‌by‌ ‌radiation.‌ ‌



Origins:‌ ‌?‌ ‌



Strength:‌ ‌?‌ ‌



Personality:‌ ‌Innocent‌ ‌and‌ ‌naive‌ ‌



Danger‌ ‌level:‌ ‌Extremely‌ ‌low.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌had‌ ‌written‌ ‌‘Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou’‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌galactic‌ ‌writing‌ ‌

according‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌youth’s‌ ‌pronunciation.‌ ‌



Done‌ ‌recording,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌was‌ ‌about‌ ‌to‌ ‌put‌ ‌away‌ ‌the‌ ‌journal‌ ‌

when‌ ‌he‌ ‌suddenly‌ ‌thought‌ ‌of‌ ‌something‌ ‌else.‌ ‌



If‌ ‌this‌ ‌little‌ ‌friend‌ ‌left‌ ‌B-324‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌future,‌ ‌he‌ ‌would‌ ‌attract‌ ‌a‌ ‌lot‌ ‌

of‌ ‌trouble‌ ‌if‌ ‌people‌ ‌found‌ ‌out‌ ‌that‌ ‌his‌ ‌body‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌affected‌ ‌by‌ ‌

radiation.‌ ‌



After‌ ‌hesitating‌ ‌for‌ ‌a‌ ‌moment,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌opened‌ ‌the‌ ‌journal‌ ‌

again‌ ‌and‌ ‌completely‌ ‌blocked‌ ‌over‌ ‌the‌ ‌words‌ ‌‘Zhang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌is‌ ‌not‌ ‌

affected‌ ‌by‌ ‌radiation’,‌ ‌covering‌ ‌it‌ ‌up‌ ‌completely.‌ ‌



Done‌ ‌recording,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun,‌ ‌who‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌sleep‌ ‌all‌ ‌night,‌ ‌laid‌ ‌

down‌ ‌to‌ ‌rest.‌ ‌After‌ ‌enduring‌ ‌the‌ ‌effect‌ ‌of‌ ‌high‌ ‌radiation,‌ ‌he‌ ‌

needed‌ ‌ample‌ ‌rest‌ ‌so‌ ‌his‌ ‌body‌ ‌doesn’t‌ ‌deteriorate‌ ‌as‌ ‌quickly.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌very‌ ‌quickly‌ ‌fell‌ ‌asleep.‌ ‌



In‌ ‌the‌ ‌midst‌ ‌of‌ ‌disorientation,‌ ‌a‌ ‌clean‌ ‌good-looking‌ ‌youth‌ ‌

suddenly‌ ‌appeared‌ ‌unwittingly‌ ‌in‌ ‌front‌ ‌of‌ ‌him‌ ‌again.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌composed‌ ‌himself.‌ ‌As‌ ‌the‌ ‌only‌ ‌person‌ ‌in‌ ‌Empire’s‌ ‌

history‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌SSS‌ ‌level‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌ability,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌only‌ ‌needed‌ ‌

a‌ ‌few‌ ‌seconds‌ ‌to‌ ‌figure‌ ‌out.‌ ‌



He‌ ‌seemed‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌dreaming‌ ‌again.‌ ‌



However,‌ ‌this‌ ‌dream‌ ‌was‌ ‌very‌ ‌strange.‌ ‌Under‌ ‌normal‌ ‌

circumstances,‌ ‌people‌ ‌would‌ ‌only‌ ‌realize‌ ‌they‌ ‌were‌ ‌dreaming‌ ‌

after‌ ‌waking‌ ‌up.‌ ‌



Yet‌ ‌he‌ ‌had‌ ‌already‌ ‌discovered‌ ‌that‌ ‌he‌ ‌was‌ ‌dreaming‌ ‌while‌ ‌still‌ ‌in‌ ‌

the‌ ‌dream.‌ ‌



Mysteriously‌ ‌and‌ ‌inexplicably,‌ ‌he‌ ‌had‌ ‌a‌ ‌feeling‌ ‌that‌ ‌with‌ ‌his‌ ‌level‌ ‌

of‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌ability,‌ ‌he‌ ‌can‌ ‌even‌ ‌control‌ ‌this‌ ‌dream.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌stood‌ ‌where‌ ‌he‌ ‌was,‌ ‌unmoving‌ ‌and‌ ‌staring‌ ‌

unblinkingly‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌youth,‌ ‌wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌see‌ ‌what‌ ‌exactly‌ ‌the‌ ‌other‌ ‌

planned‌ ‌to‌ ‌do.‌ ‌



Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌called‌ ‌out‌ ‌to‌ ‌him:‌ ‌“Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun.”‌ ‌His‌ ‌voice‌ ‌was‌ ‌

sulky‌ ‌and‌ ‌aggrieved.‌ ‌



He‌ ‌used‌ ‌the‌ ‌pronunciation‌ ‌that‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌had‌ ‌taught‌ ‌him.‌ ‌



These‌ ‌words‌ ‌were‌ ‌also‌ ‌the‌ ‌only‌ ‌words‌ ‌that‌ ‌he‌ ‌said‌ ‌most‌ ‌

coherently.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌looked‌ ‌at‌ ‌him‌ ‌in‌ ‌silence.‌ ‌



Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌stammered;‌ ‌“You,‌ ‌you‌ ‌sit.”‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌was‌ ‌too‌ ‌tall.‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌needed‌ ‌to‌ ‌raise‌ ‌his‌ ‌head‌ ‌

to‌ ‌look‌ ‌at‌ ‌him‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌eyes.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌silently‌ ‌sat‌ ‌down.‌ ‌



Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌was‌ ‌still‌ ‌not‌ ‌too‌ ‌accustomed‌ ‌to‌ ‌use‌ ‌the‌ ‌galactic‌ ‌

language.‌ ‌Unconsciously,‌ ‌he‌ ‌started‌ ‌to‌ ‌use‌ ‌Mandarin‌ ‌again‌ ‌and‌ ‌

said‌ ‌sulkily:‌ ‌“How‌ ‌come‌ ‌you‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌worship‌ ‌me?”‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“Use‌ ‌the‌ ‌galactic‌ ‌language.”‌ ‌



Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌seem‌ ‌to‌ ‌hear‌ ‌him‌ ‌and‌ ‌continued‌ ‌to‌ ‌chatter:‌ ‌

“You‌ ‌gave‌ ‌me‌ ‌the‌ ‌beverage‌ ‌to‌ ‌drink.‌ ‌I‌ ‌already‌ ‌drank‌ ‌it……‌ ‌thank‌ ‌

you.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌you‌ ‌shouldn’t‌ ‌buy‌ ‌this‌ ‌beverage‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌future.‌ ‌It’s‌ ‌

not‌ ‌tasty……”‌ ‌



“Tomorrow‌ ‌after‌ ‌you‌ ‌wake‌ ‌up,‌ ‌you‌ ‌will‌ ‌forget‌ ‌everything‌ ‌about‌ ‌

how‌ ‌I‌ ‌burned‌ ‌the‌ ‌spiritual‌ ‌talisman.‌ ‌You’ll‌ ‌also‌ ‌forget‌ ‌how‌ ‌I‌ ‌had‌ ‌

made‌ ‌an‌ ‌offering…….”‌ ‌



“You……‌ ‌en.‌ ‌You’re‌ ‌a‌ ‌good‌ ‌person.‌ ‌The‌ ‌High‌ ‌God‌ ‌always‌ ‌says‌ ‌that‌ ‌

everyone‌ ‌has‌ ‌their‌ ‌own‌ ‌ambitions.‌ ‌Some‌ ‌people‌ ‌have‌ ‌ambitions‌ ‌

elsewhere.‌ ‌If‌ ‌you‌ ‌only‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌pick‌ ‌up‌ ‌garbage,‌ ‌then‌ ‌I…‌ ‌I‌ ‌will‌ ‌

bless‌ ‌you‌ ‌to‌ ‌become‌ ‌the‌ ‌leader‌ ‌of‌ ‌this‌ ‌garbage‌ ‌dump……”‌ ‌



“There’s‌ ‌so‌ ‌much‌ ‌garbage‌ ‌here.‌ ‌If‌ ‌you‌ ‌become‌ ‌the‌ ‌leader‌ ‌of‌ ‌this‌ ‌

facility,‌ ‌you‌ ‌can‌ ‌also‌ ‌get‌ ‌rich.”‌ ‌



“Alright,‌ ‌you‌ ‌can‌ ‌go‌ ‌back‌ ‌to‌ ‌sleep.”‌ ‌Saying‌ ‌this,‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌

patted‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌shoulder.‌ ‌His‌ ‌palm‌ ‌was‌ ‌so‌ ‌soft‌ ‌that‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌

XiaoYun‌ ‌couldn’t‌ ‌feel‌ ‌a‌ ‌hint‌ ‌of‌ ‌force‌ ‌at‌ ‌all.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌suddenly‌ ‌reached‌ ‌out‌ ‌and‌ ‌grabbed‌ ‌that‌ ‌delicate‌ ‌and‌ ‌

fragile‌ ‌looking‌ ‌wrist.‌ ‌



Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌jumped‌ ‌in‌ ‌fright‌ ‌and‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌to‌ ‌pull‌ ‌back‌ ‌his‌ ‌hand:‌ ‌

“What,‌ ‌what’s‌ ‌the‌ ‌matter?”‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌released‌ ‌his‌ ‌hand‌ ‌and‌ ‌faintly‌ ‌furrowed‌ ‌his‌ ‌brows.‌ ‌

The‌ ‌sensation‌ ‌he‌ ‌felt‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌touch‌ ‌was‌ ‌so‌ ‌real‌ ‌it‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌seem‌ ‌

like‌ ‌a‌ ‌dream.‌ ‌



After‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌was‌ ‌released,‌ ‌he‌ ‌gave‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌a‌ ‌strange‌ ‌

look.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌say‌ ‌anything‌ ‌other‌ ‌than‌ ‌

goodbye‌ ‌before‌ ‌pulling‌ ‌out‌ ‌of‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌dream.‌ ‌



He‌ ‌had‌ ‌bestowed‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌a‌ ‌dream‌ ‌just‌ ‌for‌ ‌the‌ ‌sake‌ ‌of‌ ‌

making‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌forget‌ ‌what‌ ‌he‌ ‌had‌ ‌done‌ ‌previously.‌ ‌At‌ ‌the‌ ‌

same‌ ‌time,‌ ‌he‌ ‌also‌ ‌gave‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌a‌ ‌mental‌ ‌suggestion‌ ‌so‌ ‌

that‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌can‌ ‌start‌ ‌worshipping‌ ‌him‌ ‌soon.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌can‌ ‌even‌ ‌invite‌ ‌his‌ ‌Divine‌ ‌Wealth‌ ‌God‌ ‌Image‌ ‌into‌ ‌

his‌ ‌home‌ ‌and‌ ‌enshrine‌ ‌it!‌ ‌



In‌ ‌anycase,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌would‌ ‌completely‌ ‌forget‌ ‌the‌ ‌content‌ ‌of‌ ‌

his‌ ‌dream‌ ‌after‌ ‌waking‌ ‌up‌ ‌anyways.‌ ‌At‌ ‌the‌ ‌same‌ ‌time,‌ ‌the‌ ‌

mental‌ ‌suggestion‌ ‌that‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌left‌ ‌would‌ ‌take‌ ‌effect.‌ ‌What‌ ‌

should‌ ‌be‌ ‌forgotten‌ ‌will‌ ‌be‌ ‌forgotten.‌ ‌It‌ ‌was‌ ‌impossible‌ ‌for‌ ‌him‌ ‌to‌ ‌

remember‌ ‌seeing‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌in‌ ‌his‌ ‌dream!‌ ‌



However,‌ ‌what‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌know‌ ‌was‌ ‌that‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌

wasn’t‌ ‌an‌ ‌average‌ ‌person.‌ ‌He,‌ ‌who‌ ‌possessed‌ ‌an‌ ‌extremely‌ ‌high‌ ‌

psychic‌ ‌ability,‌ ‌wouldn’t‌ ‌be‌ ‌affected‌ ‌by‌ ‌this‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌mental‌ ‌

suggestion‌ ‌at‌ ‌all.‌ ‌



Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou’s‌ ‌dream‌ ‌this‌ ‌time‌ ‌was‌ ‌destined‌ ‌to‌ ‌fail,‌ ‌just‌ ‌like‌ ‌the‌ ‌

first‌ ‌dream‌ ‌he‌ ‌had‌ ‌bestowed‌ ‌upon‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun.‌ ‌



With‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou’s‌ ‌exit,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌immediately‌ ‌woke‌ ‌up‌ ‌

from‌ ‌his‌ ‌dream.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌looked‌ ‌around‌ ‌in‌ ‌his‌ ‌surroundings.‌ ‌He‌ ‌was‌ ‌still‌ ‌

inside‌ ‌the‌ ‌escape‌ ‌pod.‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌anywhere‌ ‌nearby.‌ ‌

Sure‌ ‌enough,‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌only‌ ‌another‌ ‌dream.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌pressed‌ ‌his‌ ‌lips‌ ‌together‌ ‌and‌ ‌looked‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌time.‌ ‌He‌ ‌

slept‌ ‌four‌ ‌hours.‌ ‌



Getting‌ ‌up‌ ‌and‌ ‌leaving‌ ‌the‌ ‌escape‌ ‌pod,‌ ‌he‌ ‌returned‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌

communication‌ ‌array.‌ ‌



In‌ ‌order‌ ‌to‌ ‌continuously‌ ‌locate‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌position,‌ ‌the‌ ‌signal‌ ‌

to‌ ‌the‌ ‌3rd‌ ‌Legion’s‌ ‌battleship,‌ ‌Wyvern,‌ ‌was‌ ‌never‌ ‌disconnected.‌ ‌



Hearing‌ ‌the‌ ‌sound‌ ‌of‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌return,‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌

immediately‌ ‌opened‌ ‌his‌ ‌mouth‌ ‌and‌ ‌asked:‌ ‌“Boss,‌ ‌how‌ ‌was‌ ‌your‌ ‌

rest?‌ ‌I‌ ‌already‌ ‌sent‌ ‌people‌ ‌to‌ ‌report‌ ‌news‌ ‌of‌ ‌your‌ ‌survival‌ ‌to‌ ‌

Madam.‌ ‌If‌ ‌B-324’s‌ ‌signal‌ ‌weren’t‌ ‌so‌ ‌weak,‌ ‌I‌ ‌would‌ ‌have‌ ‌

transmitted‌ ‌your‌ ‌frequency‌ ‌directly‌ ‌to‌ ‌Madam.‌ ‌She‌ ‌is‌ ‌very‌ ‌

worried‌ ‌about‌ ‌your‌ ‌health……”‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌said‌ ‌nonchalantly:‌ ‌“It’s‌ ‌not‌ ‌bad,‌ ‌just‌ ‌some‌ ‌

side-effects‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌radiation.”‌ ‌



Hearing‌ ‌this,‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌felt‌ ‌even‌ ‌more‌ ‌worried.‌ ‌The‌ ‌side‌ ‌

effects‌ ‌of‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌body‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌any‌ ‌trivial‌ ‌matter!‌ ‌



He‌ ‌still‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌to‌ ‌ask‌ ‌something‌ ‌when‌ ‌he‌ ‌heard‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌

inquire:‌ ‌“Under‌ ‌what‌ ‌situation,‌ ‌would‌ ‌someone‌ ‌dream‌ ‌about‌ ‌the‌ ‌

same‌ ‌person‌ ‌continuously‌ ‌for‌ ‌two‌ ‌nights‌ ‌straight?‌ ‌A‌ ‌person‌ ‌they‌ ‌

just‌ ‌met.”‌ ‌



Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌froze‌ ‌and‌ ‌said‌ ‌reflexively:‌ ‌“Ah?‌ ‌Boss,‌ ‌you‌ ‌saw‌ ‌them‌ ‌

in‌ ‌your‌ ‌dreams?‌ ‌A‌ ‌person‌ ‌you‌ ‌just‌ ‌met?‌ ‌Isn’t‌ ‌that‌ ‌love‌ ‌at‌ ‌first‌ ‌

sight?”‌ ‌



Saying‌ ‌this,‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌thought‌ ‌of‌ ‌something‌ ‌and‌ ‌abruptly‌ ‌

closed‌ ‌his‌ ‌mouth.‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun:‌ ‌“.......”‌ ‌



There‌ ‌was‌ ‌an‌ ‌entire‌ ‌10‌ ‌seconds‌ ‌of‌ ‌silence‌ ‌that‌ ‌fell‌ ‌between‌ ‌them.‌ ‌



Finally,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌expressionlessly‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“How‌ ‌can‌ ‌that‌ ‌be.”‌ ‌



Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌hastily‌ ‌agreed:‌ ‌“Exactly.‌ ‌That’s‌ ‌impossible!”‌ ‌



The‌ ‌Admiral’s‌ ‌wife.‌ ‌Is.‌ ‌Only.‌ ‌His.‌ ‌Mecha!‌ ‌

The‌ ‌author‌ ‌has‌ ‌something‌ ‌to‌ ‌say--‌ ‌ps‌ ‌



Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou:‌ ‌I‌ ‌will‌ ‌bless‌ ‌you‌ ‌to‌ ‌become‌ ‌the‌ ‌leader‌ ‌of‌ ‌this‌ ‌

garbage‌ ‌dump!‌ ‌



Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun:‌ ‌……‌ ‌I‌ ‌thank‌ ‌you.‌ ‌
