Chapter 125 Cooperation
The three people just stared at the divination results in silence.
After a long while, Zhou Jiu sat down in his chair and said slowly, "You have all seen the results of the divination."
"I won't talk about the inheritance relationship between New Blue Star and Ancient Blue Star anymore. I'll just talk about Ancient Blue Star. I won't beat around the bush with you. If this continues, your desire to cultivate immortality and attain enlightenment will never be fulfilled."
The other two looked at the chief engineer, still remaining silent.
Zhou's voice, devoid of emotion, continued: "That's all I have to say. You can think about it yourselves afterward."
"How confident are you in the success of your method?" The chief engineer pondered for a moment before making his decision.
"We can't guarantee it, but we have to try, right?" Zhou Jiu cast another divination, his gaze fixed on the divination result showing a slim chance of survival. At least there was still hope, wasn't there?
Zhou Jiu said, "For the final step, I need your help. Running it myself will consume my energy and blood."
"Moreover, I need books—all the books in this base about metaphysics, talismans, and divination." Zhou Jiu blinked, making his own selfish plans as if they were perfectly justified.
"How can this be?"
"I agree."
Two voices rang out simultaneously from the left and right sides. Zhou Jiu revealed a long-lost smile, stood up, and extended his hand: "Chief Engineer, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Zhou Jiu glanced at Zhou Yu, who disagreed, in a good mood.
"Come with us to the lab, but before that, Xiao Jiu, you need to undergo a series of physical examinations. Your blood and energy have been severely depleted after using the mystical arts. We need to assess your physical condition before making our plan," the chief engineer said solemnly.
Zhou Jiu didn't refuse this time, although she had a slight feeling that they weren't just after that, but as long as the goal was achieved, that was fine.
"Xiaoyu, you'll be working with Xiaojiu from now on. Help her get familiar with our environment," the chief engineer said after recording the divination results on the table and closing the document.
Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhou Jiu with a provocative expression: "Of course you can."
"Xiao Zhi, you are familiar with the storage of esoteric texts. Every morning at nine o'clock, after you finish your morning esoteric lessons with Xiao Jiu, go to the archives for further study. After lunch, we will continue to refine the talisman array you proposed and observe its feasibility. Xiao Zhi and Xiao Jiu, is this arrangement acceptable to you?"
It was meant as a suggestion, but the chief engineer was already preparing to leave as he spoke.
Zhou Jiu nodded in agreement: "Of course."
"Chief Architect, I have some more ideas." Zhou Jiu thought about her plans with Sun You and continued to talk about her next steps.
It had no disadvantages for the ancient blue planet, and the chief engineer quickly approved it.
After the chief engineer left, Zhou Zhi greeted the two men and quickly left as well.
Zhou Yu's expression gradually calmed down, his gaze sharpening: "You want to direct the Federation fleet here? Zhou Jiu, you'd better not try anything funny."
Zhou Jiu, unusually, did not explain and quietly packed his things.
"Go take care of important business."
Zhou Yu frowned. "Tell me first what you really want to do?"
"Please be polite to me. We're in a cooperative relationship now." Zhou Jiu adjusted her mindset. She would figure out the memory later; completing the plan was more important.
Zhou Yu shut her mouth, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Zhou Jiu is busy every day, with Zhou Yu always by his side.
Zhou Jiu knew that this was Ancient Blue Star's surveillance of her, but firstly, she had nothing to hide from anyone, and secondly, she no longer had any freedom in their territory.
All satellite communications are conducted openly and without much tacit agreement.
She should have realized long ago that there is no true freedom in the world; her utopia was simply because it was so wonderful back then.
However, once it begins, it cannot be stopped. New Blue Star and her teammates are still working hard for it. Even if she cannot find the place she truly wants, she will remain steadfast and responsible for her companions.
The final formation is nearing completion, and the path to the outside world will finally open. Zhou Jiu cannot predict the final outcome; she simply watches as each formation is illuminated, doing what she can.
