The battleship, Wyvern.
Since Zhuang Zhou got on the battleship, his little face has been covered in a dazed and shell-shocked expression.
How the heck did he arrive in space?
He was just visiting the mortal realm. The destination talisman was even something given to him by the High God. It should have directly transported him to his work location.
How did he transmigrate into an intergalactic era over two thousand years later?
So the communication talisman wasn't actually lost. It was just impossible to be delivered.
The reason why the High God didn't take away his divine position, despite skipping work these last few days, most likely wasn't because the Eastern Region lacked Wealth Gods. Perhaps it's because it's something that couldn't be done……
Then will he be able to return?
Hanging his head low, Zhuang Zhou held the robot Xiao PoLan in one hand and his Divine Image in the other. He sat at the resting area that Wen XiaoYun had arranged for him, face completely scrunched up and brows furrowed.
He didn't notice that the people coming and going around him, were all pretending to be very busy while secretly examining him.
"I heard from someone in Zhang Feng's squad, that something happened to his spaceship. He just landed on B-324 not long ago."
"Then he really had quite the luck to run into Boss. Otherwise, with such severe radiation on B-324, he probably wouldn't have lived long."
"I also heard that Boss personally helped him get dressed! And treated him especially well!"
"He's very good-looking…… The statue he's holding in his hands looks really similar to him."
"Shh, Vice-admiral Cheng said that Boss told him, that's our little friend's dad. He probably passed away due to some kind of illness. You guys should talk quieter. Don't let the kid hear and feel sad."
Sure enough, everyone started to talk even quieter. Especially seeing the youth hugging 'his father's statue,' and sitting there all by his lonesome, everyone's hearts felt even more compassionate.
How can this kid be so well-behaved? He looked like he didn't want to trouble anyone or something. The admiral had told him to sit there, so he's been sitting there this entire time, not going anywhere.
Cheng JinXue came over twice. Seeing Zhuang Zhou still sitting there obediently, even he felt somewhat unable to bear it.
"Zhuang Zhou," Zheng JinXue called him tentatively: "Do you still remember me? I'm Cheng JinXue. We came back in the same car, however, that time I was wearing protective gear."
Zhuang Zhou looked at him briefly and nodded his head: "En…… I remember you."
Cheng JinXue said: "I told someone to clean out a room for you. Your robot and…… and your father, do you want to settle them first? I can help you carry them over."
Zhuang Zhou's face turned slightly red in embarrassment: "No need, thank you."
Right now, he didn't even know how to tell them that this Divine Image wasn't actually his dad.
Xiao PoLan also didn't want to part from Zhuang Zhou. When it heard Cheng JinXue wanted to carry it, it immediately hugged Zhuang Zhou's arm tightly with its mechanical arms.
"Huh?" Noticing Xiao PoLan's intelligence level, Cheng JinXue was somewhat surprised. "It can understand my words?"
Zhuang Zhou nodded his head, saying: "Wen XiaoYun made it. He's very amazing. Xiao PoLan is very smart."
Xiao PoLan proudly raised its head, and made a "di di di" noise, looking rather conceited.
"Boss made it? No way." Cheng JinXue said without even a second thought: "Boss's grades in the mecha field are not even as good as mine! How can he make something like this."
This little robot's intelligence was something unseen in all of the robots in the market right now.
It seemed to have its own ideas and thoughts, almost like it had its own consciousness.
Actually right now, many robots and mechas were already very intelligent, able to understand everything. They can respond to everything as well.
However, no matter how intelligent they were, it was still all programming. The system had already set up different replies and responses to certain questions for the robot to use accordingly.
Robots were also mass produced. Thus, no matter who asked the question, be it yourself or someone else, as long as it was the same question, the robots would all answer the same way.
Ultimately, it gave people a feeling like there was a bit of something lacking.
The little robot that Zhuang Zhou carried in his arms wasn't the same. Although it didn't seem to have a voice box and couldn't speak, its expression and movement were filled with human characteristics, giving it a strange sense of liveliness. It just gave a strange feeling like it wasn't the same as other robots.
With a guilty conscience, Zhuang Zhou hugged the little robot tighter and emphasized in a small voice: "He really did make it. You can go ask him."
Cheng JinXue couldn't believe it. Did the boss really keep him in the dark and secretly studied how to build a robot in private?
Cheng JinXue mumbled to himself: "Who would have imagined that Boss' skills were this impressive."
"En En." In order to throw off suspicions, Zhuang Zhou praised rather energetically: "He must have wanted to toil secretly and then give everyone a surprise.
Cheng JinXue: "......"
Cheng JinXue left with a complicated expression, completely speechless.
Inside the medical facility, Wen XiaoYun just finished his examination.
The battleship's doctor looked grave: "Admiral-daren, can you feel your current mental state right now?"
Wen XiaoYun said: "En, somewhat."
"Then do you also know about the decrease in your psychic level?. Right now, it's only SS. It dropped an entire level."
Wen XiaoYun's voice was calm and composed: "I know."
Under the high energy radiation of B-324, he was completely exposed for so long. It was impossible for his body to not be affected.
Energy radiation was not the same as other kinds of radiation.
Seeing Wen XiaoYun so calm, the doctor really didn't know what to say.
Despite being the only person in the galaxy with a SSS lvl psychic strength, Wen XiaoYun was still affected by contamination from energy radiation, causing his psychic level to drop!
If this news got out, it would cause a huge uproar!
Doctor White shook his head and sighed: "At least your physical state is pretty good. You have a good constitution and can recover easily in the healing chamber. Your psychic level might not be so easy to recover. Not to mention, your psychic world has already been contaminated by energy radiation. From now on, I'm afraid…… it will continue to drop."
A SS level was also very outstanding, however, it wasn't one of a kind.
Plus, after becoming contaminated by energy radiation, the level would continue to decrease. Dropping to S level would be extremely detrimental to Wen XiaoYun.
Wen XiaoYun came out of the healing chamber, put on his clothes, and said nonchalantly: "It's fine. Is the examination complete?
"All complete. This is the result of the inspection."
Wen XiaoYun accepted the report to take a look. It was pretty much the same as what he had expected previously. Therefore, he wasn't too surprised.
He put away the report: "A little friend came back with me. In a bit, you can help examine him as well."
Doctor White's eyes lit up: "Is this the one Vice-Admiral Cheng was talking about, the little friend that was discovered on B-324?"
Giving an 'en,' Wen XiaoYun opened the newly paired AI computer on his wrist to send a message to Cheng JinXue, telling him to bring Zhuang Zhou over.
The message wasn't even sent yet, Cheng JinXue's voice can already be heard outside.
"Boss, are you done with your check up?"
Wen XiaoYun put away his AI and went to open the door.
As soon as Cheng JinXue entered, he asked impatiently: "How is it? Doctor White, is the boss' health alright?"
Doctor White gave Wen XiaoYun a glance.
Wen XiaoYun said calmly: "Pretty good, no major issues."
Cheng JinXue let out a breath of relief: "That's good, that's good. You stayed on B-324 for so long. We were all afraid you……"
Wen XiaoYun interrupted him and asked: "Where's Zhuang Zhou?"
"He's still waiting for you in the resting area. I offered to take him to his room, but he said he's waiting for you to return before going there."
Hearing this, Wen XiaoYun felt faintly touched: "I will go fetch him."
Cheng JinXue followed behind Wen XiaoYun. Hesitating for a bit, he inevitably asked: "Boss, the little robot that Zhuang Zhou was holding……. Was it really made by you?"
"Xiao PoLan? En, it was me."
"Really?! My god, boss, when did your skills become so impressive?!"
Was it really like what Zhuang Zhou had said? Boss wanted to toil secretly and then give everyone a surprise?
Footsteps halting, Wen XiaoYun gave him a somewhat unimpressed look: "Aren't you perfectly aware of my skill level?"
The two people went to the same military school.
Cheng JinXue said: "It's because I know. That's why I feel so astonished!"
Wen XiaoYun said: "I feel strange about this too. Do you think a robot can upgrade itself?"
Cheng JinXue said: "I'd rather believe that you had this skill."
Wen XiaoYun: "......."
He was disinclined to converse with Cheng JinXue any further and returned to the resting area.
Seeing Wen XiaoYun come back, Zhuang Zhou's eyes lit up: "Wen XiaoYun, you're back."
"En." Wen XiaoYun's voice lowered somewhat: "Sorry, the examination took a bit too long."
"It's fine. Is your body alright?" Zhuang Zhou was very concerned.
"Not too bad." Wen XiaoYun's voice was calm and composed: "What were you doing just now?"
Zhuang Zhou said in a small voice: "Think about some things."
Wen XiaoYun asked: "What things?"
Zhuang Zhou thought briefly. Here, he was most familiar with Wen XiaoYun. Therefore, pressing his lips together briefly, he said dejectedly: "I might not be able to return home."
Wen XiaoYun froze for a second. He took a glance at the statue in Zhuang Zhou's hand.
Perhaps it wasn't being unable to return home, but rather having no home to return to.
After all, his closest relative was currently in his hand right now.
Wen XiaoYun didn't really want to ask Zhuang Zhou: what about your mother?
He was afraid to make the youth recall more unpleasant memories.
Rubbing Zhuang Zhou on the head, Wen XiaoYun said: "Then just think of here as your home. Your home can be wherever you are currently."
This sentence made Zhuang Zhou see the light.
That's right. His workplace can be wherever he was currently.
The High God said before, when a god received a lot of Faith, their divine powers can transcend the heavens!
If he gained the faith of a lot of people, he might acquire extraordinary divine powers to help him return home!
As if relieved from a heavy burden, Zhuang Zhou gave Wen XiaoYun a smile: "Wen XiaoYun, thank you! You're right!"
Seeing his smiling face, Wen XiaoYun's thin lips raised faintly.
That night.
Wen XiaoYun finally didn't have any dreams.
He, who had dreamt of the youth continuously for four nights straight already, finally didn't dream about Zhuang Zhou again tonight.
Yet Wen XiaoYun wasn't actually happy about this.
Because after he woke up, he discovered that 2/3 of the people on the battleship all had a dream.
Furthermore, they seemed…… to have…… all dreamt about the same person?
Wen XiaoYun looked expressionlessly at Cheng JinXue: "Repeat yourself again. Who did you see in your dream?"
