Ding-dong: Comrade Zhao Yun has come online.
Liu Chuang said, "Holy crap, Zhao Yun? General Zhao? For real?"
Baili Shouyue said, "Zhao Yun?"
Grey Wolf said, "Welcome, welcome."
Su Yi said, "Welcome, welcome. Mwah!"
Kiana said, "Ooh~ A new comrade. Welcome, welcome."
Su Jiu said, "All right, everyone. Chuang Zi, Baili, just treat Zhao Yun as a general."
With Su Jiu putting it that way, Liu Chuang and Baili Shouyue both understood.
Baili Shouyue said, "Welcome, General Zhao."
Liu Chuang said, "General Zhao, please look after us from now on."
Zhao Yun said, "We'll all be working together, so there's no need to be so polite. From now on, we're comrades-in-arms."
Kiana said, "Exactly! Why be so formal? General Zhao, if you get any good food in the future, remember to save some for me."
As expected of a general, with just a few words from Zhao Yun and Kiana's joking around, everyone quickly grew much closer.
Su Jiu sent another message at that moment.
Su Jiu said, "Everyone, listen to General Zhao's arrangements first. At the beginning, we were like headless flies with no real plan. Let's hear General Zhao out."
Kiana said, "Okay!"
Liu Chuang said, "General Zhao, just say the word. If it's something I, Liu Chuang, can handle, I'll get it done."
Baili Shouyue said, "We'll follow General Zhao's arrangements."
Zhao Yun said, "Thank you for your trust. Then I'll begin."
Zhao Yun said, "Liu Chuang, I heard about your situation from the captain. My arrangement is for you to enter the Super God Academy and pick a fight with any alien you find. There must be aliens inside the Super God Academy."
Liu Chuang said, "Understood."
Zhao Yun said, "Baili Shouyue, you can look for suitable candidates to join us."
Baili Shouyue said, "Understood."
Zhao Yun said, "As for Kiana, just be ready to support your comrades at any time."
Kiana said, "Okay, okay."
Zhao Yun said, "Mr. Grey Wolf, continue with your research."
Mr. Grey Wolf said, "Understood, General Zhao."
Zhao Yun said, "Su Yi, remain on standby at all times."
Su Yi said, "Okay, mwah!"
Su Jiu thought for a moment before sending a message. "Now that there are more of us, we should give our future home a name. Let's discuss it."
Everyone looked at Su Jiu's message.
Liu Chuang was the first to reply. "Yeah, we need a name everyone recognizes."
Kiana said, "How about we call it the Department Store? Department stores have all kinds of food inside."
Su Jiu said, "..."
Zhao Yun said, "..."
Baili Shouyue said, "Good idea."
Su Jiu said, "What the hell kind of good idea is that?"
Su Jiu said, "Does everyone have ideals?"
Kiana said, "Of course I do. Why wouldn't I?"
Baili Shouyue said, "Yes, ideals. How wonderful."
Zhao Yun said, "That's right! Ideals are wonderful."
Liu Chuang said, "But ideals are hard to achieve."
Su Yi said, "Where there's a will, there's a way. Keep it up (.)."
Mr. Grey Wolf said, "That's right."
Su Jiu said, "Then it's decided. From now on, we'll be called Utopia. Here, we'll help each other and build the most wonderful Utopia."
Kiana said, "Agreed! Raising my hand, agreed."
Baili Shouyue said, "Agreed."
Zhao Yun said, "Agreed."
Liu Chuang said, "Agreed."
Su Yi said, "Mwah!"
Mr. Grey Wolf said, "Agreed."
And just like that, the name was decided. All that remained was for Zhao Yun to make the arrangements.
After Zhao Yun laid everything out, everyone knew what they needed to do.
Su Jiu turned to Zhao Yun. "General Zhao, what should I do?"
"Uh, for now, my lord can take Zilong around and have a look at this world."
So I'm the unnecessary one here, Su Jiu thought.
With no other choice, Su Jiu took Zhao Yun to Tianhe City to wander around, looking here and buying things there. Still, Zhao Yun looked absolutely fantastic in a suit.
At noon the next day, Su Jiu suddenly felt inspired. "Zilong, do you want to see the highest place around?"
"My lord, Yun would be honored."
A wormhole opened. Su Jiu took the lead in stepping through it, with Zhao Yun following behind. They arrived at Tianhe City's tallest building, Angel Building.
Zhao Yun followed behind Su Jiu, always keeping half a body's distance from him. Su Jiu had discussed this with Zhao Yun many times, but Zhao Yun always rendered him speechless with the same answer: "My lord, the distinction between master and subordinate must be clear."
Later, Su Jiu simply let Zhao Yun have his way.
Standing atop Angel Building, Su Jiu looked down at the city below. "Zilong, do you think I can drive those aliens away?"
"You can."
"Why?"
"My lord said you would drive those aliens away, not that you would protect the people of Earth. Given my lord's character, you could never watch your fellow countrymen die miserably. That means you have the confidence, but you are not firm enough and need affirmation. Zilong can give my lord that affirmation, so Zilong says you can."
"Zilong, thank you."
At that moment, a meteor streaked across the sky and crashed toward Angel Building. "My lord, that appears to be an angel. Shall we make contact?"
"Mm, we can. Perhaps this is a nice encounter, isn't it?" Su Jiu said with a smile.
Zhao Yun and Su Jiu remained on the top floor, not disturbing the angel who had just crashed into Angel Building. About half an hour later, a beautiful angel flew before Su Jiu.
Su Jiu smiled at the beautiful angel before him. "You didn't come here just to stare at the two of us, did you? Neither of us is particularly handsome, right? Angel Yan."
"Hehe, you two are the ones with impressive methods. We angels can't read any information on either of you. Could it be that you came specifically to admire the perfect bodies of us angels today? Or perhaps you want to do something else?" Angel Yan flirted with Su Jiu and Zhao Yun just as she had in the original story.
Su Jiu did not care about Angel Yan's teasing. "Did you come to ask about Earth's stance? Or are you continuing your failed attempt to spread your faith?"
"Not at all. We don't spread faith on Earth, since we have already failed once. There is no need. This time, we merely came to see whether there are any demons around." Angel Yan put away her teasing tone and answered Su Jiu's question arrogantly.
Su Jiu looked at the haughty Angel Yan. "Our principles do not conflict. Meeting you today was merely a coincidence. This is the first time we've seen angels."
"May I take that as a gesture of goodwill toward the Angel Civilization? Or perhaps a test?" Angel Yan asked Su Jiu with a smile.
Su Jiu smiled. "Did you find anything?"
"No, or perhaps just a little. Tell me, am I right, Captain?" As expected of a top-tier civilization, the Angel Civilization had deduced a useful piece of information from the faintest traces.
Su Jiu was not surprised by Angel Yan's greeting. "You've looked, asked, and learned what you wanted to know. Angel Yan, we'll have opportunities to meet again." After saying that, Su Jiu turned and stepped into a wormhole. Zhao Yun gave Angel Yan an inscrutable smile before turning to follow him.
Angel Yan watched the two leave and spat. "Little brats. They may be young, but they're quite calculating. Still, I can report this matter to the Queen."
After arriving aboard the Hyperion, Su Jiu asked, "Zilong, what do you think?"
"My lord, we can cooperate with the angels. Judging from what was said just now, that angel should report our situation. We can wait and see how Angel Yan responds to us then."
"Sigh, talking like that is exhausting. In the future, you can handle matters like this. A seven-thousand-year-old monster is not easy to deal with."
Zhao Yun remained silent at the side. Su Jiu found that boring as well, waved his hand, and went to rest.
Before you continue
