Zhuang Zhou curled up in the corner, not making a sound,
looking extremely pitiful. Gone was his previous smug and
pleased ex
Wen XiaoYun was practically certain that if he asked right now:
Are you that God of Wealth?
Forget 5 seconds. Within 3 seconds, Zhou Zhou might
immediately perform what's called "dying on the
Wen XiaoYun couldn't even bear exposi
He felt a bit exasperated and also a bit amused. Clearly, he
should be the one feeling shocked here?
Wen XiaoYun called him: "Zhou Zhou."
Zhuang Zhou hung his head, refusing to look up or make a
sound.
Wen XiaoYun gave a soundless sigh, saying: "What I wanted to
say was, he's not your dad, so he must be your gege right?"
The dejected little head slowly raised up. Zhuang Zhou's eyes
crossed with Wen
That expression almost seemed to be saying: My gege? Are you
certain you won't change your mind again?
Wen XiaoYun said completely seriously: "It must be Zhou Zhou's
gege."
Zhuang Zhou pressed his lips together, somewhat mistrustful of
Wen XiaoYun's wor
Wen XiaoYun picked up the Divine Image on his own and said
extremely seriously: "Just look at him. So young and
So good looking, just like Zhou Zhou. He must be very young in
age. Therefore, he can only be Zhou Zhou's gege."
Zhuang Zhou looked at the Divine image. Then he looked at Wen
XiaoYun. After a long while, he finally said slowly: "...... are you
serious?"
Wen XiaoYun asked back: "Do I look like I'm not serious?"
Zhuang Zhou: "......."
Wen XiaoYun then asked: "Is this not your gege? Then I really
can't figure out who this is."
Zhuang Zhou: "........"
Zhuang Zhou stared at Wen XiaoYun and looked at him for quite
a while. Seeing him looking like he's not joking at all, Zhuang
Zhou said slowly: "Then, you're the one who said this."
Wen XiaoYun: "Yes. I said this."
Zhuang Zhou: "Oh."
Wen XiaoYun didn't say anything after this. Zhuang Zhou also
didn't ask anything else.
They seemed to have subtly reached a silent a
However, before sleeping at night, an issue appeared
The man who once repeatedly said: 'Do you have to hug your
dad's statue to sleep?'-- he's changed!
As Zhuang Zhou placed his Divine Image on the head of the bed
at a snail's pace, Wen XiaoYun suddenly opened his
He said: "Zhou Zhou, why not just put the Divine Image in the
bed."
Zhuang Zhou: "?"
Wen XiaoYun: "Letting you…… your gege sleep alone on the head
of the bed is not very good."
Zhuang Zhou: "......."
What's not good about it? Hasn't it been like this all along?
Wen XiaoYun: "Are you tired of holding it? Why don't we switch
and I'll hold it?"
Zhuang Zhou: "........"
Zhuang Zhou looked at Wen XiaoYun, in an extremely

Zhuang Zhou moved forward with a flush, wanting to take the
Divine Image back: "Return it to me. I'll do it myself!"
Wen XiaoYun didn't fight with him. Instead he asked: "You really
don't want to?"
Zhuang Zhou answered without thinking: "It's not me!"
Wen XiaoYun followed along naturally: "That's right. I'm not
asking you. I'm asking your gege."
He lowered his head, like he was speaking to the Divine Image:
"Xiao-gege, do you really not want to?"
With an explosion, Zhuang Zhou's face flush
He snatched the divine image back and turned around, laying
with his back facing Wen XiaoYun. He said somewhat angrily:
"Time to sleep!"
Wen XiaoYun chucked, no longer teasing him. He said with a soft
voice: "Zhou Zhou, good night. Zhou Zhou's gege, also
goodnight."
Zhuang Zhou replied with a few short words: "Good night, good
night."
He paused, adding: "The second one I'm saying for my gege."
Wen XiaoYun almost laughed out loud, but he was worried about
the little friend's thin skin. If he really did laugh out loud, he was
probably going to be chased out of the room. Thus, he
suppressed it and touched the little friend's head, eyes full of
mirth. However, tonight was destined to be a sleepless

Before humans left earth, they brought along their culture and
beliefs. On the galactic net, it was still possible to search for
these legends.

Therefore, Wen XiaoYun spent this entire night researching
legends related to Gods on Old Earth.
He combed through all of the major and minor information on the
galactic net, and even used his own special authority to contact
and discuss at length with several professors that researched old
history. He learned that the more followers Zhou Zhou gained,
the stronger Zhou Zhou's powers became. Also there was a lot of
information related to the Divine Image and gold effigies.
As soon as Wen XiaoYun woke up the second day, he dispatched
someone to create another separate body for Zhou Zhou. As for
this Divine Image, the real body……
Wen XiaoYun said seriously: "Zhou Zhou, your gege must be very
bored staying inside the room by himself. How about I bring him
around with me from now on."
Zhuang Zhou: "????"
Zhuang Zhou: "Hold on, where are you bringing me…… my
gege?"
Wen XiaoYun: "Anywhere is fine. Anywhere is much better than
staying in the same room continuously."
After knowing that this was Zhou Zhou's true body, how can he
knowingly leave this Divine Image inside the room?
What if other people touched it?
Zhuang Zhou: "......it doesn't matter. He's pretty good by
himself."
Wen XiaoYun: "I can't bear watching him be lonely."
Zhuang Zhou: "......."
Wen XiaoYun rubbed him on the head: "Be good. Remember to
eat."
Saying this, he carried the Divine Image an
As soon as he left, Zhuang Zhou laid back in the bed, looking
straight at the ceiling in utter
"Wen XiaoYun…… how can he be like this!"
Not long afterwards, all of the crew of the 3rd Legion on
battleship Wyvern discovered that there was an addition of a 2
meters tall, gold statue inside the ba
The statue was carved in the appearance of a standard God of
Wealth.
No matter. Zhuang Zhou was the only god here.
When asked why this statue was built, the answer that the 3rd
Legion received was -- "Seeing you guys worship air everyday,
Zhou Zhou felt it must be very hard for you guys. Therefore, he
specifically asked the Admiral to create an honored image of the
God of Wealth so you guys can worship this gold effigy in the
future."
All of the 3rd Legion felt both touched and e
"QQQ, Madam is so thoughtful of us. Madam is so great!"
"Madam is so amazing. The Admiral does whatever he says! Who
would have thought, Admiral-daren is the whipped husband
type!"
"What's wrong with the whipped husband type? This is called
spoiling the wife! The Admiral dotes on his wife so much, he must
be a very assertive man! Joining the 3rd legion was the correct
decision, no doubt!"
"Wait a second, how come you guys are all directly calling him
Madam here? The Admiral still hasn't gotten together with Mister
Zhuang yet, I think?"
"Not officially yes, but didn't you see how much Admiral-daren
likes Zhou Zhou? Isn't getting together an eventual thing?"
"What? They still haven't gotten together? But they're so sweet
together, how are they not dating?!"
However, no matter how fervently everyone discussed how sweet
their CP was, in reality, Wen XiaoYun and Zhuang Zhou still
haven't gotten togeth
As a matter of fact, just as everyone increased their expectation
for their favored CP and their public displays of affection, they
abruptly discovered that their Admiral-daren suddenly
The Admiral-daren started to bring around a statue everywhere
he went, and it was the statue of the Madam's
The direction of this situation changed so fast that everyone
became bewildered.
Even Cheng JinXue couldn't resist cursing: "Boss, why the heck
are you carrying the statue of Zhou Zhou's dad around?"
As he said this, he looked towards Zhuang Zhou at the same
time: "Zhou Zhou, aren't you going to do anything about this?!"
Zhuang Zhou gave Wen XiaoYun a dar
He also wanted it back, but every time he went to take it back,
Wen XiaoYun would use all sorts of excuses and reasons to
muddl
Wen XiaoYun said with a calm expression: "This isn't Zhou Zhou's
father."
Cheng JinXue was shocked: "Not Zhou Zhou's father?"
Wen XiaoYun gave an 'en' as he looked at Zhuang Zhou. The little
friend met his gaze. Little face blushing, Zhuang Zhou guiltily
shifted his gaze.
Wen XiaoYun chuckled, his deep laugh carrying a sensual appeal
that created tingles: "It's his gege."
"Gege?!" Cheng JinXue was even more surprised: "Wasn't it
supposed to be his dad?"
Anxiously waiting for confirmation from Zhuang Zhou, Cheng
JinXue asked swiftly: "Zhou Zhou, is this really your gege?"
Zhuang Zhou vaguely made a noise of acknowl
Cheng JinXue: "How come you didn't say anything before? We all
thought this was your dad this entire time!"
Wen XiaoYun: "It's obvious to tell. The person in the statue is so
young, how can it be his father?"
Cheng JinXue: "????"
No way, boss. This is not what you said before!
Wen XiaoYun: "He's so good looking."
Zhuang Zhou blushed, remaining
Wen XiaoYun: "With bright and lively eyes."
Cheng JinXue: "???"
The little Wealth God: "...................."
Wen XiaoYun: "And a pure and kind hearted smile."
Cheng JinXue: "???"
The little Wealth God: "...................."
Wen XiaoYun: "A lot of people must like him."
"Wen XiaoYun!" The little Wealth God can't stand hearing
anymore and yelled: "Don't say anymore!"
Cheng JinXue shook off a full body of goosebumps: "Agreed. Give
us a break. Don't say something so sappy!"
People who didn't know the situation here might even believe that
Wen XiaoYun liked the statue itself!
"It's not only sappy, it's also……" Cheng JinXue wanted Zhuang
Zhou to complain with him. Looking back and seeing Zhaung
Zhou's flushed, however, he was stunned briefly and then asked
suspiciously: "Zhou Zhou, why's your face so red?!"
Zhuang Zhou gave Wen XiaoYun a secret
Wen XiaoYun had a smile on his face, his handsome countenance
also looking softer and
Before Zhaung Zhou could answer, Ge LuEn's voice traveled in
from outside. He came looking for Wen XiaoYun and from the
sound, it seemed pretty
Wen XiaoYun opened the control panel and allowed Ge LuEn
inside.
Seeing Zhuang Zhou and Cheng JinXue here as well, Ge LuEn
said: "Very good. You're all here. Saved me time to find you guys
individually."
Cheng JinXue asked: "Great master, what's the matter?"
Ge LuEn opened his personal comm and clicked on someone's
chat box. In the chat box, there was an
"Every year, our Empire conducts a big Mecha contest. Do you
guys remember this? The contest lasts about half a month from
start to finish. This year's mecha contest began a few da
Originally, I was invited to judge this contest."
However, because great master Ge LuEn came to the trash planet
to find Zhuang Zhou, he recommended his head disciple, Han
QingXiao, to the contest committee.
Han QingXiao was one of the contest's previous champions. In
addition, he had quite a reputation himself. Now with Ge LuEn's
recommendation, the committee agreed wholeheartedly for Han
QingXiao to become a
"Just now, my head disciple, QingXiao, sent me a blueprint for an
energy source installation system, saying that this was an
unexpected dark horse that appeared in the mecha contest. This
dark horse can create a system that completely blocks the
radiation from energy stones. QingXiao was very excited and sent
the blueprint to me. He said that he tested it already. After
installing an energy stone into this system, it really can block
energy radiation completely…… but the more I looked at it, the
more I felt something was fishy here. This energy source
installation system…… seems just like Xiao PoLan's?"
During this time, other than repairing Wo Si, Ge LuEn also
studied Xiao PoLan
Good thing Xiao PoLan liked to pretend to be well behaved in
front of Zhuang Zhou. When Zhuang Zhou was present, it'd
obediently allow Ge LuEn to examine it. As soon as Zhuang Zhou
left, it'd immediately start acting like a gran
Nevertheless, these intermittent sessions over the span of one
month was still enough time for Ge LuEn to examine most of Xiao
PoLan's installed
Therefore, when he saw the energy source installation system
that his disciple sent, he recognized it immediately. This was Xiao
PoLan's energy source
To say it more precisely, it was an energy source installation
system that was exactly the same as Xiao PoLan's
Zhuang Zhou leaned over to look: "Huh? This is the Xiao PoLan#1
that I created following Xiao PoLan's design. It's that robot that I
sold off."
Ge LuEn: "Unsurprising. When I heard you say you sold a robot
before, I had a hunch."
Cheng JinXue said: "So what you mean is, someone took the
robot that Zhou Zhou made and entered the mecha contest. Then
it became a dark horse, riding to victory from dust?"
Ge LuEn correctly: "It's not taking the robot that Zhou Zhou
made. It's dismantling the energy source installation system from
the robot and then placing it within a mecha."
Cheng JinXue became furious: "Isn't that the same thing! In any
case, Zhou Zhou was the one who made it!"
Wen XiaoYun asked Zhuang Zhou: "Your shop should still have
the receipt for the transaction right?"
"It should." Zhuang Zhou opened the online shop that he hasn't
entered for a long time to take a look. Then, he discovered a
whole bunch of messages sent by the buyer 'Wild Mecha" after
receiving the item.
Wild Mecha: Boss, still here? Are you still selling this robot you
made? I want to order 10 more!
Wild Mecha: I will give you 1 million!
Wild Mecha: Boss? Hello?
Wild Mecha: Are you thinking that 1 million is too little? Fine! 10
million! 10 million galactic coins, will you make them?!
Wild Mecha: ??? Boss??
Wild Mecha: Still too little? 50 million galactic coins! Give me your
account number, I'll transfer the money to you immediately! I'll
even pay first!
Wild Mecha: Boss!! Do you agree or not? At least say something!
Let me tell you. 50 million galactic coins is already very much. In
any other place, it's enough to order a customized high level
mecha!
Wild Mecha: How about this. Let's collaborate. You make it, I'll
help you sell it. I can sell it at an even higher price, 100 times
more than the few thousands you're selling the robots rig
Agree or not?
Wild Mecha: Don't even think you have more connections than
me. If you had any connections, you wouldn't have opened a
shop online. Let's collaborate together, alright?
Wild Mecha: Fine. Just ignore me. You go give it a try. No
Just take a look at what result you'

Because of this, after he finished reading the buyer's messages
and entered his online shop, sure enough, the shop had already

Zhuang Zhou: "......."
Cheng JinXue became furious: "Do you think it was this person
who took the energy source installation system and entered the
contest?! Fck! To even report you, how shameless!"
Ge LuEn was somewhat worried: "But what about the energy
source installation system? Can Zhou Zhou prove that he made
it?"
When Zhuang Zhou made Xiao PoLan#1, he just copied Xiao
PoLan. Thus, it should be said that this system was actually made
by Wen XiaoYun who put it together using some simple garbage
components.
So simple, anyone can m
"He can." Wen XiaoYun said calmly: "The robot that Zhou Zhou
sold was delivered by my subordinate. I know who he is and can
contact him directly."
This easily assembled system can really be built by

Hearing what Wen XiaoYun said, Ge LuEn said somewhat
surprised: "What you mean is…… you plan to return to the Capital
planet? But didn't Grand Admiral Huo want you to……"
Now that Wen XiaoYun was contaminated from energy radiation,

His mecha, Wo Si, was also
There were really too many people within the military who
wanted to get their hands on the 3rd Legion. It was because of
this reason that Grand Admiral Huo wanted him to remain on the

It wasn't just to lie low from the limelight, but also to give Wen
XiaoYun enough time to prepare for the upcoming
Returning now wasn't actually a good
Wen XiaoYun didn't answer. He only asked Zhuang Zhou: "Zhou
Zhou, do you want to go to the Capital Planet?"
Zhuang Zhou didn't actually care that the robot he made was
entered into a contest by someone. What he was concerned with
was: "Are there a lot of people in the Capital Planet?"
Wen XiaoYun: "A lot. It has the most people in the entire
Empire."
Zhuang Zhou's eyes
All customers!
He said with restraint: "Then, then if you need to go, I'll go
also….."
It's not cause he wanted to go himself, alright?!
Wen XiaoYun smiled and said: "Okay. I'll take you."
Turning around, he instructed Cheng JinXue: "Leave behind two
spaceships to continue mining. Tomorrow, we will set out and
return to the Capital Planet."
Cheng JinXue naturally wanted to return to the Capitol Planet as
well, but he was somewhat uncertain: "Returning right away
tomorrow?"
Wen XiaoYun said: "Just in time to bring Zhou Zhou, en, and
Zhou Zhou's gege to see just how the Capital Planet looks. Are
you looking forward to it?"
Eyes bright, Zhuang Zhou answered loudly: "Extremely!"
Wen XiaoYun asked: "And your gege?"
Blushing, Zhuang Zhou toned it down and said in a small voice:
"Also, also looking forward, probably……"
Wen XiaoYun: "Then I feel relieved."
Cheng JinXue: "???"
The more Cheng JinXue listened, the more he couldn't
understand.
He pulled Wen XiaoYun to the corner and asked through gritted
teeth: "Dear old Wen, what's going on with you. Who do you care
about exactly? Why are you bringing up Zhou Zhou's gege into
every sentence? Aren't you afraid that Zhou Zhou would
misunderstand, you…… actually care about his gege instead?"
He said it very quietly, but Zhuang Zhou still heard it. He secretly
perked his e
Taking a glance at Zhuang Zhou, Wen XiaoYun chuckled softly
and said: "I'm not afraid of him misunderstanding. I'm more
afraid of him not misunderstanding."
If he didn't misunderstand, how would he know that the like that
Wen XiaoYun felt towards him, wasn't simply the usual kind of
like.
