Yuanzi Bro is really playing fast and loose now, rawr!

At this moment, three blessings interconnected, as if guided by the Matrix to form a brand-new structure, making Ji Jue's soul and body both step onto a new plateau; everything became completely different.

After spending four and a half months passing through the not-so-long Summoning Stage with terrifying speed akin to riding a rocket, Ji Jue entered the domain of the Transformation Stage.

Unfortunately, for the time being, he didn't have the energy to feel the changes brought by the Mechanical Descent and the effects of the new blessings.

Recalling the turmoil in Spring City, and even the endless mechanical monsters he had created with his own hands, Ji Jue couldn't help but sigh. The words of Jian Yuan once again surfaced in his mind.

In the end, what he excelled at was creating Hell...

What was that all about?

"Teacher..."

With a self-deprecating smile, Ji Jue said, "Perhaps I might actually be a bad guy."

"I don't believe it."

Turning a page of his newspaper, Ye Xian glanced up at him nonchalantly, still looking at him like he was an idiot, "How could a craftsman be mistaken about his own materials?"

And so, Ji Jue laughed.

He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Without any worries.

...

...

When Ji Jue recovered enough to barely move and returned to Cliff City more than a week later, lots had happened, and the numerous praises and compliments were enough to make a pig swell up and fly to the sky.

The number of drawn pies was too many to eat; the pretty words, if converted to cash, could embolden him to challenge the Tong family for the richest in Cliff City.

After a long period of busyness, he finally returned to his down-to-earth life.

However, occasionally when he looked down at his silent wristwatch, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Since the last operation of the Sky Rail, his favorite watch brother had fallen silent, with no response ever since; even the Spiritual Storage was completely locked, taking the CEO with it, once again disappeared without a trace.

All of this always made Ji Jue wonder if he had caused too much chaos in the bankruptcy of the company, blowing up the company after squandering its last bit of resources.

Dammit, he hadn't inadvertently become its legal person, had he?

But the matter was too troublesome and sensitive, even Professor Ye couldn't be bothered to listen, and he was even less inclined and certainly not about to go around asking everyone, "Do you know what happened to Sky Rail? You know, the one that went bankrupt over two hundred years ago..."

He could only wait in vain.

Every night, looking at his silent watch brother, he would involuntarily shed Little Pearls: Once, a sincere part-time job was in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. If given another chance, I... might also have to think it over.

But what about the CEO?

Nothing had happened to the CEO, right?

Until one day, when he woke up from bed without any forewarning, and saw the familiar, silly smiling face drooling above him, falling onto his face.

"CEO?"

With a look of surprise, Ji Jue stared, lifting it up to take a closer look, "Are you okay? Hm, why does it seem like you've lost so much fur? Where have you been all this time?"

The CEO jumped off the bed, squatted on the ground, and let out a whimpering sound, looking at him.

Noticing Ji Jue's perplexed face, the CEO lowered its head, opened its mouth, and pulled a large bag out of thin air, releasing the mouth, and a bunch of buttons fell out.

"The CEO, must leave."

It raised its paw and hurriedly pressed among the messy buttons: "Previously, violated rules, made mistakes, CEO, bad. Sky Rail, out of control, not good, CEO, work hard!"

...

Ji Jue's smile froze on his face, confused.

He felt he vaguely understood a bit, but most of it was lost on him. But hearing that the dog he had grown so used to was suddenly leaving, he was stunned.

"Leaving? Why!"

He couldn't smile anymore, his eyes wide with anger, "I risked my life for the company, how could you optimize me out? Are you even human? No, even if you're not... you…"

"Gift, for, good, employee."

"Employee, happy, not, sad."

The CEO approached, opened its mouth, and placed a box in his arms, smiling again with a wide grin, its ears perking up, "CEO, likes, you!"

...

Ji Jue was dazed, unconsciously clutching the box, watching the CEO bow its head to collect the buttons, ready to leave.

He had long been looking forward to the day when he and Sky Rail's life could be 'filled with dreams, each splendid on its own', fearing the giant problems lurking behind it and the sudden tasks it would throw his way, but at this moment, as he watched the lonely CEO hang its tail and walk away, he couldn't help but call out.

"Hey, President!"

The President turned around, looking at him.

"So, you're busy with work, and I know you've got a lot of troubles, what with the Sky Rail and all... I mean, I... am actually quite free."

Ji Jue hesitated for a long while, finally steeled himself, "Will you come to see me again?"

He bent down, pulled out a box he had prepared some time ago from under the bed, and displayed the ungiven gift: "I even bought you a new bell, it'd be a shame to waste it, right?"

"..."

In the silence, the President stared at him blankly.

Gradually, its eyes widened.

It couldn't speak, but its eyes lit up with countless sparks, more eloquent than any words, twinkling and dazzling.

All of a sudden, it leapt up.

It dove into his arms.

Licking his face eagerly with its tongue, nuzzling back and forth, its tail knocking over ornaments and pens from the table, creating complete chaos.

I love you this much!

.

The President eventually left.

Strutting with the brand new bell on its neck, wagging its tail, it disappeared from sight.

It didn't say when it would come back.

Like any leader, who draws up plans and then vanishes without a trace.

Leaving Ji Jue to gaze at the mess the President had joyously created, letting out a resigned sigh, his face still smeared with saliva, he looked down at the small box in his hand.

The bow was tied lopsided, one side bigger than the other.

A gift.

"What the heck?"

After opening it, Ji Jue peered inside at the queerly shaped key and couldn't help scratching his head: "What's this... a car key? What do I need a car for?!"

If Little Bull saw this, wouldn't it go on a fasting strike for a month or two in a huff?

After all, having left it behind for such a long time, it was already hard enough to please!

Forget about it?

He smiled wryly, twirling the key, but in a sudden flash, it transformed into a streaming light, plunging into the silent wristwatch.

Instantly, a crisp sound echoed.

On the watch face, intricate patterns and crests appeared out of nowhere, and the long-silent panel unfolded once more, but this time, all the error pop-ups were gone.

At the forefront of the panel, there was a new button, blank, with no label.

Out of subconscious curiosity or maybe just a twitchy hand.

Ji Jue pressed it.

And then, in the most literal sense, everything in front of him went dark...

As if an invisible door had opened before his eyes, his consciousness, led by the Spiritual Circuit in the watch, surged upwards, instantly traversing an immense distance.

Breaking through the confinement of the present world, it reached an unexpected void.

Beyond the brilliant flashes of the present world, in the infinite darkness akin to the universe, countless large and small Crack Realms orbited around, strands of silver light like a net covering everything, visible only for a moment.

And within Ji Jue's perception, a familiar silhouette emerged from a tiny corner of the vast darkness.

Once more, the grand whale song played from the eternal silence!

"Holy shit..."

In the swift change, everything before him was altered.

Ji Jue dazedly turned back, looking at the driver's seat in front of him, the damaged dashboard, the familiar array, the vast interior space and displays, along with the enthusiastically whirring engine, as if heartily welcoming him.

This was clearly the same Doomsday Special Train from before!

How did it suddenly just casually give this thing to me?!

In the waves of darkness that kept sweeping in front of him, Ji Jue's legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the torn cushion, unable to get up.

Damn!

Now even if he claimed he wasn't the legal person, no one would believe him, right...
