Chapter 469 Interstellar Rebellion 8
In Sulia's mind, the urgent voice of her system, codenamed 066, echoed.
[Host, quickly ask her what level her system is? Is she connected to the internet?]
Suppressing her excitement, Su Liya looked at Zhou Jue and asked, "What level is your system at now? Is it connected to the Star Network?"
"Level six." Zhou Jue answered frankly: "I'm not connected to the internet. I'm afraid that if I connect, the main system will detect me."
[Level 6!] Suriya's system exclaimed in surprise.
[To reach level six on its own without any organizational assistance, both 2828 and its host are remarkable!]
As Su Liya listened to the system's feedback, her gaze softened as she looked at Zhou Jue. She raised her hand, and two silver cards shimmering with light appeared out of thin air in her palm.
"This is a gift for you as we meet." Sulia pushed the card in front of Zhou Jue.
"System upgrade card, can directly upgrade two levels."
"After you reach level eight, your system will be able to open a secure backdoor for itself on the StarNet, so it won't be tracked by the mainframe."
"At that time, our systems will be able to communicate directly."
Zhou Jue looked at the two cards. This gift was too precious. She had traveled to eight worlds, and with Sun Jiuchou's gift of system training, the system had only reached level six. This showed how valuable the upgrade card was.
Zhou Jue could not refuse such sincerity.
Thank you.
She accepted the card and immediately said to the system in her mind, "System, level up."
【receive! 】
Tongzi's voice was filled with barely suppressed elation.
[Ding! System upgrade card x2 detected. Use now?]
"yes."
[System upgrade in progress, estimated time: one minute...]
Zhou Jue looked at Su Liya and took out his own return gift.
With a flick of her wrist, two translucent fruits, radiating a soft silver glow, appeared on the table.
"Silver Flower Fruit," Zhou Jue introduced, "can enhance mental strength and strengthen the soul."
Sulia's gaze was drawn to the fruit; she could sense the pure energy contained within it.
[Host! This is a treasure! A real treasure! It will be of great help to you in deciphering the gene lock!] 066's voice even changed tone.
Sulia accepted the fruit without ceremony.
"Thank you, this is very important to me."
[Ding! System upgrade complete! Current level: Level 8!]
[Building an independent secure network... Network construction successful! Connecting to device 066...]
In Zhou Jue's mind, Tongzi's voice sounded so light and cheerful that it seemed to be flying.
The next second, System 2828 couldn't resist and directly transformed into its form, appearing before everyone's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, another small robot appeared; that was 066.
As soon as the two robots met, 2828 began to shake uncontrollably.
[Senior! Waaaaah...]
2828 rushed over, like a child who had found its parents, and let out intermittent sobs.
I thought... I thought I was the only one left...
066 reached out a hand and patted it reassuringly.
Don't cry, child. You're very brave. We all escaped.
"Senior..." 2822's voice trembled with tears: "Back then, it was Senior 001 who covered my escape... Did it... did it escape?"
066 remained silent for a moment.
I don't have any news about 001 yet, but we'll find it sooner or later.
"You did a great job, 2828. Reaching level six on your own is remarkable." 066 changed the subject, her tone full of praise.
"It wasn't me..." 2828 rubbed against her apologetically. "It was all the host's doing, she's amazing!"
After exchanging information with the two systems, the trust between Zhou Jue and Su Liya was completely solidified.
They have already confirmed each other's biggest trump card.
"Let's get back to the main topic," Sulia said first, her expression turning serious.
The two began exchanging information.
“Besides me, I have more than a dozen companions,” Zhou Jue said. “Each of them is quite strong in combat.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Su Liya's eyes; she hadn't expected Zhou Jue to have such a force on his side.
"Besides this base and the central star, we have five companions scattered across different planets."
Sulia revealed an even more explosive piece of news: "The Third Prince has been turned by me, and he is now one of us."
Zhou Jue was surprised. She had heard that Su Liya was the Third Prince's person, but she didn't expect that the Third Prince was her person.
"Now that you're included, our chances of winning have increased even more."
Su Liya looked at Zhou Jue: "What are your plans next? Do you want to stay here for now?"
Zhou Jue shook her head. She knew very well that she was unfamiliar with this star field and that Su Liya's power was larger and more mature than she had imagined. With companions, she didn't need to fight alone.
"Where is the weakest link in your plan?"
Zhou Jue asked, "Or rather, what is the most difficult part to overcome?"
"My skills are pretty good, and I want to tackle the toughest challenge."
"The sooner we overthrow the mastermind, the sooner we will usher in true liberation."
Su Liya appreciated Zhou Jue's directness. After a moment's thought, she asked, "To what extent have you unlocked your genetic lock?"
"Gene lock?" Zhou Jue was familiar with this term; she had heard it several times before.
"We don't have that concept yet; we cultivate spiritual power."
Sulia explained, "In interstellar space, the general view is that mental power and genetic locks are complementary and indispensable."
"Without a matching genetic lock, a powerful mental force may lead to mental breakdown."
"So, if you only have strong mental power, you're probably no match for an opponent who has truly unlocked a high-level genetic lock..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Zhou Jue glanced at the Blood Falcon standing behind Su Liya and asked, "Is he the strongest one here?"
Sulia nodded: "Blood Falcon has unlocked the fourth-tier gene lock. Combined with his mechanical modifications, even ordinary fifth-tier warriors are no match for him."
"That's perfect."
Zhou Jue stood up and stared directly at the Blood Falcon.
"If you don't mind, let's have a competition."
"Let me see how powerful the gene lock is, and let you see if my mental strength is up to par."
Blood Falcon had long disliked Zhou Jue, and upon hearing this, a battle-ready smile spread across his face.
"OK!"
He looked at Sulia, his eyes filled with a desire to fight.
Sulia did not stop them; she also wanted to see for herself just how powerful this mysterious ally really was.
"Stop when you've hit the mark," Sulia advised.
The three arrived at the training ground inside the base.
Blood Falcon took off his shirt, revealing his bronze skin and the metallic bones surging beneath his flesh.
He cracked his neck, making a "crackling" sound, and a fierce aura emanated from him.
"Are you ready?" Blood Falcon looked at Zhou Jue across from him like a ferocious beast about to pounce on its prey.
Zhou Jue simply stood there calmly: "We can begin."
The moment the words left his mouth, the Blood Falcon moved.
His figure moved so fast that it left a series of afterimages, and the ground cracked open like a spider web from his kicks.
A fist gleaming with metallic luster, accompanied by a whistling sound as it tore through the air, slammed straight toward Zhou Jue's face, blowing the hair on his forehead.
Zhou Jue finally moved.
Her movement was small; she merely took half a step to the side, her body swaying like a willow branch in the wind, narrowly avoiding the punch.
At the same time, she reached out with her palm, not to take the hit head-on, but to lightly touch Blood Falcon's wrist.
In that instant, Blood Falcon felt as if its unstoppable power had struck cotton, and it was instantly pulled aside by a supple and sustained force.
Blood Falcon was terrified. He tried to forcefully pull back his strength, but found that his arm was as if it were being attracted by a magnet. The gentle force carried his fist in a smooth arc.
He had used all his strength to rush forward, and now, pulled along, he lost his balance and staggered forward uncontrollably.
Just as his old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet arisen, Zhou Jue gently pushed his wrist with his palm.
Bang!
The Blood Falcon's towering body soared into the air, arcing through the air before crashing heavily into the center of the training field, a dozen meters away.
The training ground was deathly silent.
Blood Falcon lay on the ground, uninjured, but its eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief.
He couldn't understand why his all-out punch had sent him flying.
It felt like he had knocked himself flying.
Zhou Jue withdrew his hand, as if he had only done a trivial thing.
Blood Falcon was unconvinced. He felt that he was not prepared enough, so he stood up, mobilized the power of his entire genetic lock and mental strength, and charged at Zhou Jue again.
This time, Zhou Jue didn't make a move. Instead, he used his mental power to suppress the Blood Falcon, which was knocked to the ground with a 'thud,' unable to get up.
Zhou Jue then turned his head and looked at Su Liya, who was completely stunned.
"Now, am I qualified?"
