Xueyi replied seriously:

"Because according to lifespan calculations, her lifespan is nearing its limit, and she could fall into demonic possession at any time."

Chu Ze shook his head:

"That's not right. My mom doesn't have a demonic body, so she doesn't need to return to the immortal ship."

"...Huh?"

This time, it was Xueyi's turn to be confused.

The puppet girl tilted her head slightly, revealing a cute, somewhat bewildered expression:

"Everyone on the Immortal Ship has to do this, so why doesn't she need to return? What does this mean?"

"That's what it means literally."

Chu Ze said quite naturally:

"She doesn't have a demonic body, so it's only natural that she doesn't need to return to the immortal ship."

Xueyi was still puzzled.

But it seemed as if the voice echoed in her mind again.

[She doesn't possess a demonic aura, so it's only natural that she doesn't need to return to the immortal ship.]

In an instant, some blocked thoughts suddenly cleared up.

Xueyi's expression suddenly dawned on her:

“I see. After I return, I will withdraw all proposals concerning your mother.”

"I said something strange just now, that was really inappropriate."

"It's okay, it's okay. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes."

Although I don't understand why Xueyi would question a well-known conclusion for so long.

But since she was a beautiful mechanical girl, Chu Ze ultimately didn't voice his criticism and instead skipped over the topic.

……

……

After finishing her business, Xueyi left directly.

After all, there is a time limit to resurrection, and she has other things to do, so she can't let Chu Ze be the only one to suffer.

After seeing Xueyi off, Chu Ze returned to his room.

He originally planned to check the star trails and formulate a plan to borrow food from the Bu Li people.

But Xueyi just mentioned her mother, and thinking about it carefully, it seems that it has been a long time since she had a live call with her mother.

So Chu Ze took out his phone and pressed the call request button for the contact labeled "Old Mother".

Fortunately, this time there was no "signal out of service" message. Instead, after a brief beep, the call was connected.

"Hello, Mom?"

Chu Ze exclaimed in surprise, "You really got through? So you weren't on a business trip?"

A familiar and gentle voice came from the other end:

"Son, what's up? Mom's busy with work, so I don't have much time for casual chats."

Chu Ze sat down on the sofa:

"It's nothing, I just called to check on you."

My mother's voice came through the receiver:

"Mom is fine. You need to take better care of yourself than I am."

"What I want to see most is you growing up healthy and strong!"

The undisguised words of concern touched Chu Ze's heart a little.

Being able to enjoy the love of family in the vast universe makes even the trivialities of life seem less tiring.

"By the way, Mom, how's work?" Chu Ze asked casually.

Suddenly, my mom's tone changed slightly:

"Son, what's up? Mom's busy with work, so I don't have much time for casual chats."

"?"

Chu Ze was slightly taken aback.

This sentence... seems familiar?

Without lingering on doubts, drawing on his past experience, he slightly narrowed his eyes:

"Mom, you're not trying to fool me with that automated reply system again, are you?"

Mom smiled slightly:

"Oh, how could that be? Mom misses you so much, how could she use a bot to lie to you?"

The voice was gentle, but Chu Ze remained unmoved: "Really not?"

Mom smiled slightly: "Oh, how could that be? Mom misses you so much, how could I use a bot to fool you?"

Chu Ze: "…………Human-machine interaction".

Mom: "Oh, how could that be? Mom misses you so much, how could I use a bot to lie to you?"

Chu Ze: "Transfer to manual labor."

Mom: "Oh, how could I? Mom misses you so much, how could I use a humanoid robot..."

Click!

Chu Ze decisively hung up the phone.

He took a deep breath, and a look of utter pain crossed his face.

"This is my biological mother...this is my biological mother..."

"Never complain, complaining means you've already lost..."

Chapter 32 Black Tower: Come to Azure Star, I want to see you

And so, time began to pass at an accelerated pace.

In the week leading up to the party, aside from necessary work...

For the rest of the time, Chu Ze piloted the Cosmic Superman, sweeping back and forth along the route set by Xiao Yi.

His targets were remote, abandoned planets inhabited by hostile forces.

These interstellar bandits usually plunder unlucky passersby, but when they encounter a large force of cloud cavalry, they flee in all directions, truly cunning.

But now, Chu Ze has arrived.

There were no obvious traces of a large force, and it also had an extremely high movement speed.

Thus, all the resources of these outposts were converted into fuel for the starships.

"These bandit strongholds are truly delightful!"

"With so much treasure looted, we won't have to worry about fuel for a while!"

In the main control room of the Superman spacecraft.

Chu Ze leaned back on the soft sofa, his mouth slightly open: "Ah—"

Immediately, a black tower doll fed them cut fruit.

On the other side, other puppets were massaging his shoulders and back, and relieving his thigh pain.

There was also a special atmosphere-building team standing by, constantly offering sincere praise: "Master Chu Ze is the most amazing! Master Chu Ze is the greatest!"

He was acting like a decadent, aristocratic lord.

[Ding~ Schedule reminder:]

The Xianzhou Arts Exchange Gala will be held tomorrow night. Please plan your time accordingly and return on time.

A projection of Xiao Yi with short hair appeared in front of him.

Chu Ze stretched out his arms, letting the puppet massage his muscles as he asked:

"How much have you made in the last few days?"

[Summary: In this operation, total expenses were 0.31 billion credits, total revenue was 2.62 billion credits, and net profit was 2.31 billion credits.]

[Xiao Yi's Commentary: Win!]

well.

It seems the Superman spacecraft is indeed highly efficient.

If there were more time, and all the bandits along the route around the Luofu Immortal Ship were completely wiped out, the profits would probably be even greater.

[Note: The master's fame has spread throughout the surrounding star systems, and the visibility of the Cosmic Superman has greatly increased.]

[When they encounter interstellar bandits later, they will probably flee at the mere sight of the Luofu army, just like they would flee at the mere sight of it.]

Yes, that's normal.

After all, interstellar bandits aren't NPCs; they can't just stand there and wait to die.

Therefore, instead of plundering everywhere, the master should perhaps use some more efficient methods.

[For example, you could use force to establish a puppet regime and levy taxes, or seize wealthy colonies to accumulate capital. You could also smuggle high-profit resources from the gray market, or even jump to a remote planet to become the savior leader of an extremist force...]

"Stop, stop, don't go any further."

Chu Ze quickly interrupted Xiao Yi:

“I’m not that short of money yet, so all these proposals are rejected… all shelved, to be used later.”

These plans are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and require a large force to operate effectively.

Moreover, rather than making money, his current priority is to get to the Black Tower Space Station and, according to Elio's script, board the Star Train.

As the saying goes, wherever the protagonist of a game goes, bloodshed and carnage are sure to follow.

Traveling with the train crew will definitely give you the opportunity to fight and battle with powerful figures from all sides, which is much more enjoyable than establishing colonies or plundering and taxing!

"If you really don't have any money, you can ask Silver Wolf for it, or borrow it from Black Tower."

"So let's put this time-consuming, labor-intensive, and massive plan on hold for now."

[Received. The plan has been temporarily sealed. The owner can access it at any time in the future.]

"As for now..."

Looking at the last remaining outpost on the star trail.

Chu Ze stood up from the sofa, grinning maliciously as he stretched his shoulders:

"Let's clean this area first, and then return to Luofu!"

A burst of power.

Launch control.

Chu Ze rose into the air from the starship, then plummeted downwards like a rapidly falling meteorite.

"Man!!!!!!!!!"

The interstellar bandits on the surface looked up and their expressions instantly changed drastically:

"Bu Hao! It's the Madman Chu Ze!"

"How did that guy end up here?"
