Hyperion

As soon as Kiana entered the Guild Channel, Liu Chuang noticed there was one more person.

"Xiao Jiu, who's this?" Liu Chuang sent a message. Ten minutes later—

Kiana: "I'm a Valkyrie, Kiana Kaslana."

Liu Chuang: "Heh, I'm the Nuoxing War God."

Kiana: "Who are you trying to fool? The Captain never said so."

Liu Chuang: "Captain..."

Liu Chuang thought about it. This Captain was probably Su Jiu. Just then, Su Jiu sent a message.

Su Jiu: "Chuang Zi, your Super Gene has activated. How did it happen?"

Liu Chuang: "No idea. I was sleeping just now, dreamed of some space where they said I was some Nuoxing War God, and then it activated."

Su Jiu: "Chuang Zi, come to my house. We're going to the Hyperion. Earth isn't safe now. I'll arrange everything that follows."

Liu Chuang: "Okay."

Su Jiu: "If anything happens on Earth in the future, the Hyperion can provide support at any time. We have too little intelligence right now."

Liu Chuang: "All right, I'm coming now."

After talking with Liu Chuang, Su Jiu took out a transparent panel twenty centimeters long and wide. He said, "Chi Yang, locate my current position. Start the Hyperion, activate stealth, block all information about the Hyperion on Earth, and come pick us up. We're preparing to board."

Chi Yang: "Captain's location acquired."

Chi Yang: "Hyperion activated."

Chi Yang: "Stealth function activated."

Chi Yang: "Flagship information has been blocked."

Chi Yang: "The Hyperion is expected to arrive in five minutes."

When Kiana heard that they could board the ship, she screamed excitedly.

Su Jiu could do nothing about this girl who was full of energy every day, so he simply let Kiana have her way.

After looking away from Kiana for only a moment, Su Jiu discovered that all the food, toys, sofa, comics, and game consoles in his house were gone. The corner of his eye twitched wildly.

There was no helping it. It was noon and he was hungry, so he told Kiana to take out the ingredients. Kiana thought he wanted her to return everything she had put away and stubbornly refused.

Su Jiu was exhausted. He promised to give all those things to Kiana and told her to take out the ingredients so he could cook.

The moment Kiana heard it was for cooking, all kinds of ingredients appeared before them in the blink of an eye.

Su Jiu wanted to curse. He wanted to beat this white-haired dumpling to death.

Just after Kiana and Su Jiu finished their delicious lunch, Liu Chuang arrived at Su Jiu's house.

One look at the house showed that everything was gone. He thought there had been a burglary, but then he saw Kiana and Su Jiu staring wide-eyed at each other across the table. The scene felt strangely out of place.

"Ahem."

Hearing the sound, Su Jiu came back to his senses and said, "Let's go to the roof." After that, they headed upstairs together.

On the roof, ripples spread through space. Su Jiu led the way inside, followed by Liu Chuang and Kiana.

After arriving aboard the warship, Kiana and Liu Chuang stood on the deck and looked down at the city below.

"Holy crap, it's so huge. I'm afraid of heights." Liu Chuang looked like a country bumpkin seeing the world for the first time.

Kiana knew about the Hyperion, but she had not expected it to be this large. "Captain, the Hyperion got bigger."

"Yeah. When you have nothing to do, you can come up to the deck, bask in the sun, grill some barbecue..."

"Really, Captain?" Kiana looked as though she was asking him not to lie to her.

Su Jiu gave her a look that said she had never seen the world. "I installed a simulated environment on the Hyperion's outer deck. We don't have many Energy Crystals right now, but we have enough for the time being. The Energy Shield stays active all day. Did you think you could stand here talking to me without the wind treating you like a kite?"

"Damn! Xiao Jiu, you really went all out!" Liu Chuang said in shock.

Su Jiu narrowed his eyes. "I originally wanted to settle down somewhere and live a good life. If I had one or two brothers with me, I would've been satisfied. But Chuang Zi, you know how things are."

"Yeah. Even if we want to protect Earth, the two of us alone won't be enough. We still need to work with the country."

"Hey, hey! What do you mean, the two of you? Am I not here? Besides, I'm really strong." Kiana puffed out her cheeks.

"Yes, yes. Kiana is the strongest." Su Jiu smiled.

Then Su Jiu took out two transparent panels and handed them to Liu Chuang and Kiana. "Take a look at the place we'll be living from now on."

The Hyperion was divided into six major areas.

① Living Area

② Medical Area

③ Training Area

④ Entertainment Area

⑤ Energy Area

⑥ Command Room

Su Jiu took Kiana and Liu Chuang around the Hyperion, letting them familiarize themselves with every area.

Liu Chuang looked at the ultra-modern rooms, filled with a strong high-tech atmosphere.

Kiana, on the other hand, made herself right at home and tried everything she could get her hands on.

In the end, Su Jiu directly called Chi Yang over to explain things.

Chi Yang was the Hyperion's intelligent butler. No matter where you were, you only had to call its name, and Chi Yang would appear to explain.

He also gave Liu Chuang and Kiana panels that could change into any form. Each panel linked directly to the Hyperion's terminal.

That white-haired dumpling Kiana turned her panel into a set of goggles, making it look like a Dragon Ball scouter. It was even a monocle, making her look like a full-blown chunibyo girl.

Liu Chuang's was much simpler: a watch, a highly technological-looking watch.

Once everyone had gone to find their own rooms,

Su Jiu headed straight to the Command Room to review the intelligence gathered over the past two months.

Before long, Kiana and Liu Chuang arrived at the Command Room.

Liu Chuang asked, "Xiao Jiu, what's the situation?"

Without even looking up from the documents, Su Jiu said, "With the Hyperion's current technology, it can be considered among the best in this universe. But dealing with Earth's situation will still be difficult."

Su Jiu looked up and continued, "At present, the civilizations we know of are the Taotie Civilization, De Nuo Civilization, Lieyang Civilization, Angel Civilization, and Demon Civilization."

"The Taotie Civilization is an invader. That much is confirmed. The De Nuo Civilization is currently on China's side. The Lieyang Civilization's situation is unknown. The Angel Civilization is probably the strongest civilization in this universe on the surface, and it's also unknown. As for the Demon Civilization... well, they're no good."

Liu Chuang and Kiana both sucked in a breath when they heard this information.

"Captain, with so many enemies, how are we supposed to fight? There are only three of us." After saying that, Kiana even counted them on her fingers.

Liu Chuang also looked worriedly at Su Jiu.

Su Jiu analyzed, "We definitely have to fight the Taotie Civilization. We can help the Xiong Bing Company on the battlefield."

"Then we'll use the Hyperion's advanced technology to hide ourselves, build up our strength, and wait."

"Wait for what?" Liu Chuang asked in confusion.

"That's right, wait for those civilizations to state their positions. Only then can we plan our next move." Su Jiu lounged lazily on the sofa.

Although Su Jiu knew how the plot would unfold, the universe of Super God Academy was so vast that no one could say for sure what would happen. This was not watching an anime anymore; it was real.

Su Jiu's greatest advantages right now were the system and his knowledge of the plot. He could make use of that—for example, by dragging someone aboard his pirate ship.

After hearing Su Jiu's analysis, Liu Chuang understood. None of those civilizations had declared their positions yet. Going out now would just be seeking death. Once the situation became clear, he would go up there and beat those bastards to death.

That white-haired dumpling Kiana was the kind of person whose brainpower went straight into the negatives whenever she had to think, so Su Jiu could not count on her.

He just hoped the lottery would let him draw someone intelligent when the time came.
