Chapter 114 Communication Connectivity

"Jiujiu, come to class soon." Dada once again displayed his extremely responsible side as class monitor.

Zhou Jiu quickly tossed the communication device he had made into the pile of metal plates, pretending to be reviewing his lessons.

"Jiujiu, you didn't do well on the exam again, and you've missed your chance to go out again. I'm not bringing you any of this junk this time, no matter what. People keep staring at me on the street, it's really unseemly."

Zhou Jiu was speechless. Who knew why the exams were always so strange? She had never mentioned these questions in class, and she didn't know how these energy beings managed to get scores above 90.

Every three days, each energy creature has the opportunity to be taken out by a powerful energy creature to keep watch. Here, Zhou Jiu also learned that not all energy creatures are as powerful as the one she saw, but all energy creatures can be trained to control alien beasts through later mental training.

After enrolling for the first time, there was a perk: the opportunity to go out with the main group, though with a dedicated protector. Zhou Jiu couldn't help but admire the energy creatures' protectiveness of their young. However, it was during that time that Zhou Jiu discovered they rarely went far, and the places they did go were devoid of humans. Her immediate priority was still to find a way to establish contact with the central star system. The magnetic field of the ancient Blue Star was abnormal; if a starship got too close, it would be immediately pulled to the ground by the immense gravity and devoured by the surrounding alien beasts.

After so many days, she finally finished an old-fashioned device, but it was still in the experimental stage. Tomorrow, when they went out to keep watch, she prepared another connection test, hoping that this time she would succeed.

"Thank you, Dada. I really like this thing, and I find it very appealing."

“Alright, I can’t judge your aesthetic sense, but your transformation has already demonstrated it. Jiu Jiu, you look so thin and weak, that won’t make the beasts submit to you.” Dada sighed. “I might have to stay here to continue studying when I’m an adult.”

Yes, whether an energy being reaches adulthood still depends on changes in its strength.

"I'll learn it sooner or later," Zhou Jiu said with a smile. She was also very interested in what energy creatures were learning, as they opened up another layer of her understanding of mental power: manipulation.

The legend of puppetry appeared in ancient legends of the ancient planet Blue Star. Perhaps it is not just a legend, otherwise it would not be classified as a forbidden art in the category of mystical arts and forbidden techniques.

Zhou Jiu believes that the principles by which energy creatures are controlled may be somewhat similar to the principles by which puppeteers control puppets. She believes that by understanding energy creatures' spiritual power to control beasts from the perspective of metaphysics, she may be able to achieve a major breakthrough.

"Jiujiu, you must study hard. After the beginner level, there are intermediate and advanced levels. I've already reached the intermediate level, so I can't be your class monitor anymore. Don't miss me too much. If you miss me, study hard and pass the intermediate level exam to come see me."

"Dada, I will definitely try my best." Zhou Jiu sighed inwardly. She had to admit that Dada was extremely responsible for her. Even though he hated those metals and regarded them as garbage, he still risked other people's opinions and carried them back bit by bit when she wanted them.

Zhou Jiu continued to attend class attentively. She always had to go out. Even though she had made contact with the central star system, she still needed to search for any remaining humans on the ancient Blue Star.

The next day arrived quickly.

After several failed attempts to receive the signal, Zhou Jiu switched to a different signal this time.

After a series of muffled beeping sounds, a sign that the connection had been established, Zhou Jiu's eyes lit up. He quickly entered the message he wanted to input, and after finishing, he heard the noise of someone coming from outside. Zhou Jiu quickly turned off the device.

Ye Yang, who was on rotation at the grassroots level of the starship, received this strange signal. He quickly reported it to his superiors and at the same time made contact with Chu Ming.

"Chu Ming, come here. I received a strange message, it's like an ancient code from an alien civilization. Can you help me decipher this signal? The code is too ancient, and I don't have the key to crack it."

"...I'll come over after I finish what I'm doing."
