Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 476 Emptiness, loneliness, and being fat since childhood
Just as Ah Li was about to reveal the plan for a new life.

Zhang Ze suddenly raised his hand to interrupt, "Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" Ah Li asked.

Zhang Ze said, "My CD is ready. I'll go and send the information about the Earthsea to Xiangxiang and the others first, so that the CD doesn't just sit idle and waste time."

Ah Li, "So urgent?"

Zhang Ze said, "It's best to be careful. If you forget again, then all your fun will be for nothing."

As he spoke, Zhang Ze raised his hand and tapped his head, indicating that Ah Li should first transfer the observation data about the Earth Sea into his mind.

"Can you understand it?" Ah Li scrutinized Zhang Ze with a skeptical look.

"You have to trust my wisdom, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, as long as someone else does," Zhang Ze said.

Ah Li said, "There's no translation; it's all in my hometown dialect."

Zhang Ze said, "It's okay, at worst you can give me your kindergarten's preschool textbooks too."

Ah Li hesitated for a moment, then took a step back and smashed Zhang Ze's forehead with a rocket headbutt.

A massive amount of information flooded into Zhang Ze's mind in that instant.

Zhang Ze was completely filled with scribbles and symbols.

To avoid being overwhelmed by the sea of ​​knowledge, Zhang Ze sealed it away without even looking at it.

Even so, he was still knocked out of his dream because he was allergic to studying.

Opening his eyes, Zhang Ze carefully touched his brain, which had almost been contaminated by knowledge.

After a while, he removed his legs from Ah Li's belly, covered her stomach with a small blanket to keep it warm, and then ran out of the ancestral temple.

At this moment, only Xiaoyaozi, who had nothing to do, remained outside the temple; the others had all disappeared.

"Where did everyone go?" Zhang Ze asked after a moment of surprise.

Xiaoyaozi, "There's nothing to do here," fearful saint and giant returned to the Mountain and Sea to restore order and prevent further trouble.

"As for your friend, the one in black took a Tai Sui and left with them, saying he wanted to check if there were any Nine-Headed Serpents left behind, but..."

Xiaoyaozi paused for a moment, and finally spoke his mind.

"I think your friend just wants to go treasure hunting and find all the good stuff in these mountains and seas."

"Logically, I should have stopped him, but if we can leave, it doesn't really matter what happens to Shan Hai, so I'll just let him go."

Zhang Ze nodded, thinking to himself that Xiaoyaozi was really good at judging people.

After reassuring Xiaoyaozi that he would take them away, Zhang Ze sat down cross-legged, ready to play with his little ball.

The ancestral temple is located parallel to the mountains and the sea. You don't need to leave; you can also play with his little ball here to send messages outward.

Sacred Tree Department, Blessed City.

It hadn't been long since our last communication; at most, it had only been a day.

At this moment, in the room of a former substitute saintess, Xiangxiang was yawning and blowing cyber electronic bubbles.

In the room, there was only her, the former substitute saintess Miss Dejomara, and that rotten princess who had been promoted to a pet.

The former substitute saintess had by this time completely fallen and been corrupted into a plaything of the corrupt concubine.

Now, she has become a Fukushiro otaku who can't live a proper life without Fukihime.

It's completely rotten.

As for Chen Qin, she had just left.

He said he missed his bird and was going to Changzhou to find it, promising to return in half an hour.

To prevent Zhang Ze from contacting her suddenly, Xiangxiang was appointed by Chen Qin and promoted to the role of ambassador for watching the game, responsible for keeping the vibrating ball safe.

It's a very boring job.

After blowing bubbles for a while, Xiangxiang took advantage of the fact that Lao Di, who was playing tug-of-war with Fuji, wasn't paying attention to her, and used her silver liquid metal hand to pick up the small ball from the golden stone slab on the ground.

After confirming that no one was paying attention to her, Xiangxiang placed the ball into her projection.

She gently shook the ball with her hand.

After waiting for a while, Xiangxiang pouted angrily.

'Sigh, I don't feel anything.'

'emptiness.'

'sorrow.'

But just as she was feeling empty and preparing to secretly log off to go back to Qianji Pavilion to organize files and relieve her boredom, Zhang Ze's little ball suddenly started vibrating on its own.

Seeing this, Xiangxiang quickly stuffed the small ball into the little rotten girl's brain.

However, this time, the little rotten princess did not give a speech with her hands behind her back as she did last time; instead, she trembled slightly.

It seems the information sent back this time is somewhat different.

Fu Ji didn't speak, but instead waved to Xiang Xiang.

Is yours there?

Xiangxiang, "Which one?"

Fuji pouted and thought for a moment, then gestured, "It's that square one, the one you always carry with you."

After hearing what Fu Ji said, Xiang Xiang understood what Fu Ji meant.

She wants her own mobile terminal.

Although Xiangxiang didn't understand why, she still handed over her terminal.

Fu Ji took the terminal, fiddled with it for a bit, and conjured up a large virtual screen filled with spiritual energy.

Taking a deep breath, Fuhime popped out twenty or thirty tentacles from beneath her.

Then, she began typing furiously on that aura-filled virtual screen.

This was the method of transmitting information that Zhang Ze had come up with.

Although he couldn't understand those untranslated languages, his mind, being at the Nascent Soul stage, was undeniable; he could be considered a walking supercomputer.

So, Zhang Ze did a simple mental scan, translating the information about the Earthsea into a series of images.

JPG format.

These images are composed of individual black and white pixels.

Zhang Ze and Fu Ji had agreed beforehand that 0 would represent a white pixel and 1 would represent a black pixel.

A short oscillation of the ball represents 1, while a long oscillation represents 0.

Under Fu Ji's ultimate storm of input, one image after another was transferred to Xiang Xiang's terminal through her manual typing.

As the very end of this intelligent conveyor belt, Xiangxiang faced some difficulties.

The first image that was transmitted was something that looked like a spelling sheet.

Xiangxiang glanced through it and found it to be a very concise language.

With her unparalleled wisdom, Xiangxiang felt that she had understood and had initially mastered the language.

But soon, several more equations were transmitted.

Although Xiangxiang watched it twice this time, she thought it was alright.

The formulas and calculation methods are strange, but... they are not difficult to understand.

As Xiangxiang waited with doubt and anticipation for Zhang Ze's new information, Fuji's typing speed suddenly increased.

More than twenty tentacles flicked out afterimages, and Zhang Ze's JPGs, like diarrhea, were transmitted to Xiangxiang's terminal.

Xiangxiang, “(.)”

'What are all these things?'

At first she tried to understand, but Xiangxiang soon decided to give up.

She could only barely make out that these somewhat profound things were related to the Earthsea, but... by the second line she couldn't understand them at all.

Even if she knew every single word, she still wouldn't understand it, let alone the fact that she didn't know any of them at all.

However, combining the spelling sheet and formula that Zhang Ze initially sent back, Xiangxiang still roughly understood what Zhang Ze meant.

'Is he planning to have me translate these records that he's somehow acquired?'

But what to say...

Xiangxiang felt that Zhang Ze was just playing around, and she didn't know if he trusted her too much or if he didn't treat her like a human being at all.

Although I am indeed no longer human.

Zhang Ze's behavior is no different from teaching you one plus one and then asking you to prove Goldbach's conjecture.

They're not even human.

However, just as Xiangxiang was about to overload, Fuji let out a cry.

She pressed the last button, inserting the last picture into Xiangxiang's 'brain'.

Transmission complete.

Xiangxiang felt her 'brain' was a bit blocked, as if it had been filled up.

I really want to shut down and restart my computer.

Just as Xiangxiang was feeling dizzy and about to log off, she heard Fuji speak. This time, she was relaying a message from Zhang Ze.

"Is Xiangxiang here? Listen to me. The things I sent you are very important. Even if you don't understand them now, it doesn't matter. Save them carefully and make several backups."

"These are observation and research records related to the Earth Sea, which document the processes by which the Earth Sea alters matter."

"I think there might be a way to turn you back inside."

'Change back!'

Upon hearing this, Xiangxiang immediately woke up.

With the liquid cooling activated, intelligence regained its dominance, and the now-energetic Xiangxiang began to use her privileges to browse the rosters of the Six Sects, the Thousand Machine Pavilion, and the Demon Clan's True Winter Merchant Guild.

She planned to gather all the clever idlers and have them help her study this inexplicable book.

'I can turn back now, hee hee, slurp.'

Fu Ji had no idea what Xiang Xiang was thinking; she was still relaying Zhang Ze's message.

"Well, nothing else for now. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be out soon."

"Oh, and remember to give Fu Hime some extra nutrition. Thank you for your help this time."

After saying that, the little ball rolled out of Fu Ji's mind, and Fu Ji melted into a puddle with a splash.

This message is a challenge for everyone involved.

"What... what should we do?" Looking at the rotten princess turned into a puddle, Lao Di, who had been sitting quietly to the side since the beginning, was starting to panic.

"Don't panic. Put the rotten princess in a bowl, grind the Five Poison Pill into powder and mix it with a cup of Apa tea. Put another Tai Sui in the bowl and let it soak for half a day to recover."

Xiangxiang answered absentmindedly.

"Oh, good, good."

While Lao Di was busy tidying up, his junior sister happened to walk in with her bird.

Taking off her small round sunglasses, the junior sister asked curiously.

"What's going on? Has Senior Brother made some new news? Let me see!"

"You want to see?" Xiangxiang asked happily, her face sparkling with pink bubbles.

“Look, why don’t you look?” The junior sister nodded.

Having received someone's confident approval, Xiangxiang immediately controlled her little silver hand and slapped her junior sister across the face.

A massive amount of pictures and information were thus poured into the junior sister's mind.

After a while, the junior sister let out a cry and collapsed to the ground with her bird, as if she were dead.

I'm dizzy from all this knowledge.

Before being crushed, Little Phoenix Fluffy flew up. Like a dog, it scratched its head with its paws, looked around, and finally, it brought a clean watering can from somewhere and began to water its junior sister, just like Lao Di did.

For a moment, the room was quite harmonious.

Amidst the hissing sound of the flowing water, Little Fuji was the first to wake up. She blinked and took a sip of Apa tea.

And blinking her big eyes, she watched as Xiangxiang used the knowledge Zhang Ze had brought back to torment Lao Di.

Little Fuji yawned. She thought to herself that she seemed to recognize some of the things Zhang Ze had sent back, and could understand a small part of them.

If you don't understand, just ask her; don't torture her toys.

However, because of ingesting Apacha, Little Fuji is currently feeling dizzy.

Yawning again, Little Rosamund Knot closed her eyes and seven or eight mouths, and very mischievously hugged Zhang Ze's little ball into her arms as well.

"Going to sleep, going to sleep, I'm so sleepy. Whatever it is, we'll talk after I've had a good sleep."

Ancestral temple.

After delivering the message, Zhang Ze returned to the ancestral temple.

This time, instead of lying on the ground, he took out a large bed from his magic bag, lay down comfortably, and then embraced Ah Li as they entered that shared dream.

Upon opening his eyes, Zhang Ze saw a long strip.

Ah Li manifested its long, thin form, flying around in the air, sometimes stretching into a straight line, sometimes twisting into a figure eight.

So unhappy.

Zhang Ze watched for a while, then suddenly shouted in a cheeky tone.

"Hey! Your tail's off track!"

A-Li was startled by Zhang Ze's voice and quickly turned to look at her tail. After realizing that she had been tricked by Zhang Ze, she angrily charged down with a pig-like leap.

Zhang Ze lightly leaped up and landed on Ah Li's head.

"You really are that square locomotive," Zhang Ze exclaimed in amazement.

The so-called 'remains' that came with them to the ancestral temple was Ah Li's former body, or something that possessed her.

Ah Li angrily tried to shake off Zhang Ze, but after a few attempts, she couldn't break free and could only sigh helplessly.

"What could we do? The warehouse leaked, and if we hadn't plugged it immediately, half of the starship's supplies would have been gone."

"There weren't enough people available at the time, and there wasn't enough time to repair it, so they just put me, who had just been born, in there."

"Later, that starship was scrapped, and its warehouse was moved directly to Orbiter One."

“Star Track One is the train you saw. From then on, I was both the warehouse manager and the warehouse itself.”

Although it sounded pitiful, Zhang Ze couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the prehistoric era, when a square locomotive that looked somewhat like a pig roamed the world, swallowing everything in its path and killing whoever it caught, and even calling itself a dragon.

But Zhang Ze is a professional; he can hold back when he needs to.

But as he was holding it in, Zhang Ze suddenly remembered something else.

If, as Ah Li said, it was appointed as the warehouse manager right after it was born and couldn't even crawl, then doesn't that mean it never had a proper long, thin form?

Zhang Ze remembered that what he summoned from the stone was not Iron Egg Train Hero, nor Mighty Square Pig, but the round and plump Ah Li.

Does that mean that the round shape is likely the same shape Ah Li had when she was first born, before she was trapped in the warehouse?

so
Is Ah Li chubby since she was little? And will she always be chubby?

Zhang Ze clearly remembered seeing two types of amber dragons in his dream: one was long and thin, and the other had a large stomach.
'Well'

But in the end, Zhang Ze still didn't voice his guess that it would definitely make Ah Li Hong Wen.

Listening to Ah Li's boasting, he quietly lay on its head and flew with it to the end of the primordial wilderness.

This is a dream, and Ah Li has the final say.

Their first stop in their dreams was the North.

At this time, the four continents didn't even have an atmosphere; they were just bare rocky spheres, so the North was no different from other places.

The earth was scorched black, covered with lava.

As Ah Li flew, Zhang Ze soon spotted a 'giant tree'.

No, to be precise, it wasn't a giant tree, but a starship that pierced the scorched earth. Judging from its shape, it somewhat resembled the flagship of the exiled fleet.

"What are they doing?" Zhang Ze asked curiously.

"If we want to be reborn, the first step is naturally to reshape the planet's ecological environment," A-Li said calmly.

As Ari spoke, the semi-biological starship continued to slowly penetrate deeper into the earth. The outer amber crystals dissolved, and pale blue liquid flowed out from the wound-like hangar opening, cooling the surrounding magma.

The stern of the warship cracked open, and a torrent of clear light shot into the sky.

Zhang Ze: "Is this how you usually reshape planets?"

Ah Li shook her head.

"No, in the past, at its most glorious, we had a specialized device called the Ring of Stars to do this kind of work."

"That thing is not difficult to operate; even a child can easily operate it by following the instructions."

"However, almost 80 percent of the Star Rings perished along with the Empire."

Zhang Ze: "Weren't there any in the escape fleet? I remember you originally planned to colonize this place."

Ah Li: "Yes, but it's gone now."

"The Star Rings they carried were all removed in the early stages of their escape and used as parts to repair the fleet."

"In the later stages, as the sea continued to rise, the fundamental rules of the universe began to change, and much of our knowledge and equipment blueprints became worthless."

"Therefore, we can only use this one-time, clumsy method."

The dream was accelerated by Ah Li.

At this point, apart from a few starships still hovering over the four continents, almost all of the rest had crashed to the ground and pierced into various parts of the four continents.

These amber dragons, integrated with the starship, nourish the planet at their own expense, accelerating what should have been an incredibly long ecological recovery.

For a moment, Zhang Ze couldn't tell whether they were tombstones or beacons pointing to the future.

"So the problem lies in this process?" Zhang Ze asked.

Ah Li shook her head. "No, the first step of the new student program went quite smoothly. The problem wasn't with us."

Zhang Ze: "Whose fault is that?"

"It can't be said to be the fault of anyone," Ah Li sighed. "The reason why the plan failed lies with the Four Continents themselves."

"He developed consciousness at some point, without me even realizing it."
