Yu Ling infiltrated the 'Giant Tree Chat Group' and became more adept at matching the trees in the links with those in reality, making her far superior to everyone else in terms of navigation skills.
As Jonathan passed the same tree for the third time, Yu Ling finally couldn't help but ask, "Captain, we've already passed this spot."
"Yeah?"
Jonathan stared at the tree beside him, which was completely different from the one before in both color and shape, and didn't even realize what was happening.
Yu Ling: "Why don't you turn on the locator and verify, Captain?"
Jonathan naturally carried a locator that recorded his movements. He listened to Yu Ling and assumed that he was naturally sensitive to direction. Without much suspicion, he took it out and checked it. He found that it was indeed as Yu Ling said, that the two of them had been going in circles.
So, all these spheres around us are actually alive? Although it sounds a bit strange, the idea that a plant can change its form like an animal is still hard to accept for a while.
“Since these trees that are everywhere aren’t ordinary either…you get some samples first, and I’ll remind the others,” Jonathan said.
The fact that Jonathan, whose team was in disarray, chose to contact other team members shows that these trees had a significant impact.
Only Yu Ling treated this place as her natural home ground, her nonchalant and relaxed attitude making everyone else subconsciously relax as well. For example, Jonathan, who was reminding the others not to get lost, was actively looking at the locator.
The consequence of relaxing is...
While Jonathan wasn't looking, Yu Ling had already grabbed a fruit from somewhere and started eating it...
Don't eat random things.
Despite saying that, Jonathan didn't actually take the fruit away. Seeing how much Yu Ling was enjoying it, he even had an urge to take it and try it himself.
Hmm? Impulsive?
Thinking about this, Jonathan, who was unmoved even by beautiful women, began to wonder why he would have such a craving. Would he actually eat something? Or even a fruit?
Yu Ling, who is immune to the temptations of Jupiter and has a body that is resistant to the Zerg, showed a genuine look of doubt and even considerately handed over the half-eaten fruit in her hand.
This fruit doesn't contain much energy; it's just a treat, and sharing half of it wouldn't be a problem.
Jonathan's face darkened: "I don't want things that other people have bitten."
He once again escaped disaster by resisting temptation.
"oh."
Yu Ling took it back and ate it herself.
Jonathan, his face darkening, continued searching for usable resources on Jupiter, taking samples of anything even slightly unusual.
This kind of thing isn't too difficult when the plants generally don't intend to attack, but it's really too troublesome on Jupiter, where there are many different kinds of plants.
Soon, their backpacks were full, but they had only collected a tiny fraction of the items. It seemed they would have to waste a lot of time here.
As the captain, why would Jonathan do something so troublesome?
Seeing that this place was not as threatening as Misty Star, he decisively assigned Xia Suo, who was responsible for checking for dangers, laying foundations, and even testing various data, to also collect samples.
He and Yuling only needed to collect samples.
After the data is uploaded, the smart brain of the citizen bracelet will record simple sample information, so at least everyone will not collect duplicate data.
However, Yu Ling and Jonathan could no longer fit any more samples. Even with space-saving technology, they couldn't fit any more samples in, so the two of them had to go back to the spaceship.
When Yu Ling and Jonathan returned, Xia Suo was fiddling with a device that was constantly emitting energy fluctuations, with an obvious look of joy on his face.
Jonathan first sent the samples into the spaceship's storage compartment before casually asking, "What did you find?"
Yu Ling's eyes were also full of curiosity.
Technology has always been his weakness, mainly because relying on objects is not as effective as strengthening himself. However, with the system, a technological product, he has never had to worry about it.
Xia Suo moved aside, displaying the instrument in its entirety before the two, and said, "Look, when the Kerkes rays pass through the Canoer magnetic field, the Banu quantity increases dramatically, and a Merton reaction occurs, and... "
Jonathan: "Speak like a human!"
Xia Suo then realized that he was the only one in the entire special forces team who could understand the instrument data, and his high spirits were immediately dampened.
He said, "Uh, it means there is spatial energy here, and Jupiter is actually a planet that can move on its own!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Ling exclaimed, "Wow! A planet I can run on? This skill would be so great for an insect planet! With such a natural ability, why would he bother stealing that broken warp drive?"
"Huh? Are there other planets that can move on their own?"
Xia Suo nodded and patiently explained to his illiterate friend from the garbage planet: "As everyone knows, in addition to rotation, planets also undergo other regular movements, but they are in a relatively static state when they move together with a reference point."
However, if a planet possesses the power of space, even without any life actively controlling it, it can create a wormhole to escape the constraints and thus…”
But by this time Jonathan was getting impatient. It felt like he was being hypnotized in class. He rudely interrupted, "Alright, this isn't kindergarten. There's no time for your stories."
Then, he forcibly dragged Yu Ling, who was listening intently, back onto the 'road of no return'.
On the surface, it seems that no one cares about the planet having spatial energy anymore. After all, the Empire will take care of everything after taking over, and it has nothing to do with them. Even Xia Suo thinks so.
—Except for Yu Ling.
The spatial energy that was delivered to his doorstep was something he would at least take back and study carefully. Besides, he was now a Zerg, so he could just swallow any similar energy he wanted. It's just that spatial energy doesn't have a fragrance, so he couldn't smell it. But if he was looking for the process with the answer in mind, wouldn't Yu Ling be able to find it with her soul power?
However, he forgot that he hadn't listened to Xia Suo's explanation completely, missing the most crucial point.
That is, spatial energy cannot be moved casually. It can be easily activated with a touch. Even the owner or controller cannot guarantee 100% where the final destination will be. The consequences of recklessly touching it are predictable.
However, Jonathan and everyone in the special forces took this for granted, and no one told Yu Ling, this clueless little bug, about it.
Captain Jonathan continued to lead the way, but his little follower Yu Ling was not so obedient. She would often get distracted and keep deviating from the direction, and seemed a bit disobedient.
Jonathan: I'm numb. Is it my destiny as captain that every team member turns into a troublemaker?
