Chapter 10: Worship me, and you'll pick up money when you go
out
Wen XiaoYun returned to central command and sat there quietly
for a while.
What happened in his dream really did occur in real life as well.
Zhou HongYi's 63 pairs of socks, even the number was exact.
This made it very hard for Wen XiaoYun to not overthink.
A moment later, he sent a message on his personal terminal.
[Wen XiaoYun: If someone has a high psychic level, can they see
into dreams and foresee the future?]
[Wen XiaoYun: Or, is it possible, that some people, can control
other people’s dream worlds?]
Pausing for a few seconds, he deleted the two messages.
The person on the other side of the personal terminal replied very
quickly.
[Ge LuEn: ???]
[Ge LuEn: What did you take back just now?]
[Ge LuEn: So you still remember to send me messages. Here I
thought you died somewhere out there already.]
Wen XiaoYun replied calmly: [Didn’t manage to die. Sorry to
disappoint you.]
[Ge LuEn: Ha ha. How's my Wo Si?]
Ge LuEn is the Empire's most impressive mecha creator. The
mecha that he created 'Wo Si' is also one of the strongest in the
galaxy. Ge LuEn treasured this mecha very much.
[Wen XiaoYun: It's in pieces.]
[Ge LuEn: !!! Are you certain???]
[Wen XiaoYun: Certain.]
[Ge LuEn: You better not come back, cause you're a dead man!!]
Wen XiaoYun still wanted to reply, but he discovered that Master
Ge LuEn had already blacklisted him.
Wen XiaoYun put down his personal terminal and leaned back into
his chair. His lowered eyes carried a hint of exasperation.
After pondering for a while with furrowed brows, he raised his
hand and pulled up an examination report from the terminal.
This was the report from Zhuang Zhou's check up yesterday, the
result coming back on the same day. He didn't even let Doctor
White from the medical facility to see it. Keeping a copy, he
deleted the examination record.
Physical strength: F. No signs of radiation.
Psychic strength: Not tested.
Wen XiaoYu stared at these two lines, carefully reading them
repeatedly. Then he recalled the first day when he met Zhuang
Zhou. Zhuang Zhou had burned a piece of paper that created a
strange energy ripple.
The little friend seemed to carry quite a mystery.
Wen XiaoYun sighed. A moment later, he completely deleted this
copy of the report as well.
The battleship Wyvern has stopped on this abandoned planet,
B-324, for five days.
Wen XiaoYun went on the internet once and used his personal
account to send a message showing that he was safe and sound.
He also accepted an online interview from the government's
official news channel. Finally, the citizens of the Empire believed
that Wen XiaoYun was still alive.
In these five days, Wen XiaoYu has been extremely busy
everyday. He had many things to deal with.
Zhuang Zhou was also very busy.
He had learned the names and uses of all of the high tech
equipment on the battleship. Wen XiaoYun even provided him
with an AI computer. He used the AI to learn the galactic
language. Right now, there's basically not much that he didn't
understand.
He also finally realized that he did a very stupid thing.
So the galactic people used an interdimensional space. It's a
storage space that's been folded and compressed using quantum
mechanics.
To put it simply, it was pretty much the same as his own GanKun
pouch.
In other words, he must have looked like a real idiot, walking
around carrying his Divine Image!
"I must be the most embarrassing God of Wealth!"
Seeing that Zhuang Zhou was making good progress in his
studies, Wen XiaoYun allowed him to mess around himself.
Zhuang Zhou started by watching documentaries.
According to galactic history, Earth had already become
unsuitable for human existence due to large-scale environmental
damage about over 2000 years ago.
Because of this, Humankind searched for an escape route and
found a planet similar to Earth to survive.
After humankind settled down, they still yearned for their mother
planet and wanted to return to heal Earth's environment.
However, when they looked back, they unexpectedly discovered
that Earth had mysteriously disappeared from its coordinates in
space.
Zhuang Zhou watched from Earth’s disappearance, to
humankind’s exploration of the universe, to the subjugation of
humans by other alien civilizations, to the assimilation of other
alien cultures, to humans finally making a place for themselves in
the galaxy.
Despite carefully sorting out the intergalactic history, Zhuang
Zhou felt extremely uncertain.
"Earth disappeared mysteriously?"
If Earth disappeared mysteriously, what happened to the High
Gods and all the other gods?
There were several different theories over the internet regarding
the cause of Earth’s disappearance. Some say it had already
exploded. Some say that Earth was sucked in and shredded by a
black hole.
The latter theory received many people's endorsement, because
there's no way a planet that big would suddenly disappear. Only a
black hole can devour it quietly without anyone’s notice.
However, Zhuang Zhou didn't think so.
From his perspective, the High Gods had extraordinary divine
powers. Even though there were very few who believed in gods in
the 21 century, some Gods were still very powerful.
There were a variety of Gods. However, just picking from ones
that Zhuang Zhou knew, there were already several High Gods
that were extremely powerful. How could they let Earth be
devoured by a black hole?
Zhuang Zhou couldn't figure it out.
Seeing Zhuang Zhou looking at the Earth inside the screen in a
daze, Wen XiaoYun asked: "You like Earth a lot?"
Hearing these words, Zhuang Zhou raised his head and looked at
Wen XiaoYun, meeting his calm and warm gaze.
Zhuang Zhou unconsciously nodded: "It's very beautiful."
Wen XiaoYun said softly: "All humans hold a special feeling
towards the mother planet. This is not strange."
Zhuang Zhou blinked, observing Wen XiaoYun: "Do you also like
it?"
Wen XiaoYun said: "As you said, it's very beautiful."
Zhuang Zhou's eyes shined brightly.
Wen XiaoYun's lips curved upward in a faint smile: "Beautiful
things always garner appreciation."
Zhuang Zhou understood this as Wen XiaoYun liked it. With a
smile, he said: "You're also very beautiful!"
Wen XiaoYun raised his brows faintly. Not saying anything in
response, he just pressed down briefly on the tuft of hair sticking
out on Zhuang Zhou's head.
Zhuang Zhou suddenly remembered something and asked: "I
also saw an investigation just now. Pretty much every eight
years, a planet would become abandoned due to excessively high
energy radiation. Is this true?"
Wen XiaoYun said: "Yes. The most headache-inducing matter to
intergalactic people currently is how to reduce radiation from
energy sources to the lowest."
Intergalactic people relied on power from energy stones.
However, there was no existing method to remove the radiation
pollution inside energy stones.
Therefore, humankind lived under long-term radiation as a result.
Over time, their body starts to fail. Their psychic power starts to
decrease. Their reproduction rate decreases. This issue exists
throughout the galaxy.
Living under this manageable amount of radiation pollution,
people eventually got used to it.
When radiation pollution accuments and exceeds manageable
limits, however, a planet will no longer be suitable for human life.
Then it’d be abandoned directly, just like B-324.
Zhuang Zhou understood this very well.
Just take modern society for example.
Computers, phonse, and all sorts of household electronics all
have radiation.
However, the radiation amount in these items is all very little,
within a manageable range. That's why everyone wouldn't
consider this to be an issue.
People’s bodies would only be affected under high radiation.
For example, doing CT scans a few times a year was still
relatively safe.
But if someone had to endure the x-ray radiation of CT scans
everyday, they might find issues appearing in their bodies.
This was the issue that intergalactic people faced.
Everyday, they needed to use energy, yet there was no way to
completely shield from the radiation of energy stones.
“This is also something I wanted to mention to you just now.”
Wen XiaoYun said slowly: “I want to take Xiao PoLan for an
examination.”
Xiao PoLan was currently nested next to Zhuang Zhou’s foot,
watching a projected cartoon. When it heard its name, it
immediately lifted its mechanical eyes in alarm.
Examination?
What kind of Examination?
If they discovered that it was a demon, would they forcibly scrap
it?!
Xiao PoLan immediately grabbed onto Zhuang Zhou’s thigh
tightly, taking a ‘no one can separate it from Zhuang Zhou’
stance.
Zhuang Zhou was also a bit nervous: “An examination?”
Seeing how nervous this person and robot were, Wen XiaoYun felt
somewhat helpless and exasperated.
Clearly, he was the one who had built this robot. Yet Xiao PoLan
seemed to have acknowledged the youth as its master instead,
eating and living together with him everyday.
This was also the reason why Wen XiaoYun asked Zhuang Zhou
for approval.
Wen XiaoYun explained: “The radiation from the energy stone in
its body is completely shielded.”
If this kind of technique to completely shield the radiation from
energy stones can be figured out and announced, it would
definitely shock the entire universe.
Zhuang Zhou understood.
Intergalactic people relied on energy stones, just like how people
on Earth relied on electricity.
Electricity was energy for people on earth. Energy stones were
energy for intergalactic people.
Mechas, battleships, spaceships, no matter what it was, it all
used an energy system. The radiation created from the energy
system was unavoidable. The only thing that changed was the
amount of radiation.
However, it was very likely that… the reason for the shielding of
radiation from Xiao PoLan’s energy stone…… was because of his
Divine power……
Zhuang Zhou lowered his head. Occasionally, he’d raised it to
look at Wen XiaoYun, like he really wanted to say something.
However, he’d lower his head again afterwards and mumble
quietly, hesitating.
Wen XiaoYun asked him: “Is there something you want to tell
me?”
Zhuang Zhou nodded silently.
Wen XiaoYun said: “But you’re afraid to say it. Because it’d
expose your secret?”
Hearing this, Zhuang Zhou’s face immediately turned red. His
head lowered even more.
The youth couldn’t hide his thoughts at all, so pure that Wen
XiaoYun felt unwilling to destroy this.
Wen XiaoYun touched Zhuang Zhou’s head briefly and said:
“Then just don’t say it. It is fine this way. Just like how I know
you don’t suffer the effects of radiation. I won’t tell anyone about
this. You also shouldn’t tell anyone else.”
Zhuang Zhou raised his head to look at Wen XiaoYun, stunned.
So he had already revealed so much?
Yet Wen XiaoYun still treated him so well!
Zhuang Zhou hesitated for a little while. Then he suddenly said in
a small voice: “Can you give me a piece of energy stone?”
Wen XiaoYun didn’t even ask why and said directly: “I can.”
He sent someone to the energy storage room to fetch a piece of
energy stone over. Before activation, the energy stone is very
pretty, like a crystal.
As soon as it’s utilized, it would produce an unavoidable radiation,
like a slow acting poison.
After Zhuang Zhou obtained the energy stone, he left, not even
saying what he planned to do with it.
Half an hour later.
Wen XiaoYun and Cheng JinXue were discussing the last planned
patrol inspection inside the central command.
Zhuang Zhou peeked a head out from behind the unlocked door.
“Wen XiaoYun, can I come in?”
Wen XiaoYun said: “Of course you can.”
Zhuang Zhou walked inside very slowly. He glanced at Cheng
JinXue briefly and then returned his gaze back on Wen XiaoYun,
saying: “I just…… en, when I went to the bathroom, I picked up a
rock. It seems to be an energy stone.”
Wen XiaoYun’s lips curved into a faint smile: “Really? You’re so
lucky.”
Cheng JinXue, however, jumped in fright: “Ai! Little friend,
energy stones aren’t casual toys. If the energy leaks out
accidentally, there’d be radiation contamination…… huh?”
Cheng JinXue suddenly discovered something: “Why does this
energy stone look activated? Impossible. How can an activated
energy stone have no radiation contamination at all?”
Cheng JinXue was gobsmacked: “Boss! Look, quick! This energy
stone really looks like it’s been activated!”
But the radiation didn’t leak out at all!
How can this be?
Who had the ability to completely shield off the radiation from
energy stones?
Wen XiaoYun said: “really?”
“Really!”
Cheng JinXue immediately looked towards Zhuang Zhou: “Did
you really pick up this energy stone while going to the bathroom?
I don’t believe it. Tell the truth. Where exactly did you find this.”
Zhuang Zhou felt a bit guilty. Glancing at Wen XiaoYun, however,
made him feel like he found someone to support him.
Zhuang Zhou straightened his back and said loudly in a
confidently and firm tone: “I really did pick it up! I worshipped
God beforehand. So I have very good luck.”
Cheng JinXue still didn’t believe it: “Can you please not act so
superstitious. What worshipped God. Who would bring this kind of
energy stone into a bathroom?!”
Zhuang Zhou mumbled in a small voice: “If you don’t believe it,
you can make an offering and give it a try also. Just light three
incense right here and kowtow. Then you can become rich as
soon as you go out.”
Cheng JinXue: “Boss, do you see how he……”
Wen XiaoYun’s voice was calm: “I believe him.”
Cheng JinXue’s eyes widened. He never would have imagined that
in such a few short days, Zhuang Zhou’s position in the Boss’
heart would surpass the comrades he went through life and death
with!
Feeling hurt, Cheng JinXue gritted his teeth and said: “Fine, then!
I’ll worship! If superstition was really so reliable and powerful,
and allowed me to pick up energy stones as soon as I go out, I’ll
fcking call you grandpa!”
Hearing this, Zhuang Zhou’s eyes lit up. He hastily took out his
incense burner and incense for Cheng JinXue. Looking completely
expectant, he said: “Then, then go ahead and kowtow……”
He was the only god here.
He can absorb all of the incense!
Already forced to this point, Cheng JinXue couldn’t stop midway.
Holding his breath in, he kowtowed.
That afternoon.
Cheng JinXue led the elite little squad to conduct their last patrol
inspection.
Not long after leaving, Cheng JinXue sent back a signal for help.
“Bo, boss!” Cheng JinXue’s voice was extremely terrified: “I
fcking fell into an ore mine full of energy stones!”
Wen XiaoYun: “......”
To the side, Zhuang Zhou heard this and exclaimed: “See. I told
you worshipping God was useful. He found ores as soon as he
left. How lucky and blessed!”
Wen XiaoYun: “.....................???”

The author has something to say: PS--
Wen XiaoYun: “..........???”
Wasn’t this just your excuse? Why did he really pick up money?
Zhuang Zhou: /frantically absorbing the incense~~
