Chapter 1059: Chapter 488: Go Bigger

Multi-layered Universe.

Jade Capital, Breath Soil High School.

Dormitory.

“Clang——”

Amid a series of noises, the chain was completely unfastened.

Snap.

The chain abruptly transformed into a damaged chip.

But the gemstone continued to glow with a soft light.

“Wahaha, who would’ve thought that as a Truth-grade longsword, I could be this powerful!”

The Bone Blade reverted to the Big Skeleton and grabbed the gemstone and the chip from the table.

It eagerly turned around to look for Shen Ye.

“Huh? Wait a minute…”

The door connecting to the real world had already been closed and disappeared.

Shen Ye was the Gatekeeper.

He was on the other side of the barrier.

It couldn’t get through itself.

“What now?”

The Big Skeleton scratched its head, suddenly remembering something, and snapped its fingers.

——There was another Shen Ye in this world!

After all, they were both Shen Ye.

Giving it to either Shen Ye would have the same result!

The Big Skeleton silently connected to the Contract.

One breath.

Two breaths.

A door opened.

Younger Shen Ye entered the dormitory.

“What’s up?”

He asked while swiftly handling something on his phone without looking up.

The Big Skeleton handed over the gemstone and the damaged chip, explaining everything in detail.

“Got it.”

Shen Ye continued tapping on his phone, gesturing for the Big Skeleton to place the gemstone and chip on the table nearby.

Without raising his head, he said:

“This gemstone holds many secrets but also contains some extremely advanced energy, which is hard to handle.”

The Big Skeleton was startled: “That amazing?”

Shen Ye picked up his phone and answered a call. After the other party finished speaking, he instructed, “Keep the bidding going.”

The call ended.

“You’re so busy, do you need me to fight? I’m always ready for action,” the Big Skeleton said proudly.

Now it could transform into a dragon and a Truth-grade weapon, radiating unprecedented confidence.

“It’s not about fighting.”

Shen Ye continued as he glanced at his phone.

On his screen, there were rapidly climbing numbers, resembling a sales backend.

“What the heck is this?” the Big Skeleton asked, feeling puzzled.

“I’m running a Double 11 promo, selling sacrificial slots. Business is booming, can’t step away,” Shen Ye explained.

His phone rang again, forcing him to look down and handle it quickly.

“Weren’t you sending out Gold? How did you end up selling sacrificial slots?”

The Big Skeleton folded its arms and asked.

“Selling ads and traffic—it’s already more than paid off. But it requires me to personally oversee operations,” Shen Ye explained without lifting his head.

“Should I deliver it for you?” the Big Skeleton offered.

“Yes, the other me has the ‘Final Eternal Life Chip.’ He’s better suited to handle these two items,” Shen Ye replied.

The items ended up back in the Big Skeleton’s hands.

“So I’m off now?”

The Big Skeleton asked.

“Wait, help me deliver a message to the other me,” Younger Shen Ye said.

“You can easily communicate with yourself—why do you need me to pass on a message?” the Big Skeleton asked.

Then, noticing Shen Ye’s expression, it quickly added:

“Fine, I’ll deliver the message for you.”

New information kept popping up on Younger Shen Ye’s phone.

But he no longer looked at it.

He put down his phone, gazed seriously at the Big Skeleton, and said:

“Tell the other me this——”

“Charlotte is still fighting the Chaos Ship’s puppets and hasn’t returned yet.”

The Big Skeleton nodded and said:

“Got it, I’ll relay the message word for word.”

Shen Ye reached out and opened a door.

The Big Skeleton immediately stepped through.

On the other side.

Older Shen Ye sat in a nanny van, wearing an eye mask, resting.

Suddenly.

A voice came from nearby:

“You’re right.”

It was the voice of the investigator.

The investigator continued: “There are already many people online searching for my information. If this continues, it will affect the entire investigation.”

“This has already severely deviated from the mission objectives laid out by the Galaxy Revolutionary Army.”

“I’ve suggested canceling this mission.”

Xiao Yurong panicked upon hearing this:

“This was a mission we worked so hard to get approved—how can you cancel it just like that?”

Her phone suddenly vibrated slightly.

When she opened it, she saw a notification confirming the mission had already been terminated.

“Shen Ye! Our mission’s been canceled—what now?”

Xiao Yurong asked.

“File an appeal,” Shen Ye smirked.

“I’ll go personally and appeal face-to-face with the higher-ups!” Xiao Yurong stomped her foot, opened the car door, leaped outside, and soared into the sky.

The investigator turned his gaze back to Shen Ye.

“Major General Shen Ye, are you not upset? We were just about to enter your strongest domain, but I’ve called it off. Don’t you care at all?”

“——Or are you concealing your emotions?”

He asked.

Shen Ye chuckled.

Claiming he wasn’t upset would seem odd.

Admitting to being upset would give the other party, who was waiting for a reaction, a chance to exploit his vulnerabilities.

Clever rhetoric.

But this mission was merely a means to return to Earth from outer space for Shen Ye, and now that he was back, any mission was as good as the next.

There was no need to waste energy playing along.

Leveling up was much more important.

“Alright, investigate however you want. I have other matters to attend to—goodbye.”

Shen Ye signaled the driver to stop and immediately got off on a bustling city street, leaving the car behind.

Unexpectedly, the investigator followed him.

“What are you doing?”

Shen Ye asked.

“I’m investigating you—if you have nothing to hide, why should my presence bother you?” the investigator replied.

“But you’re interfering with my life,” Shen Ye countered.

“I won’t.”

“You’re sure?”

“I’m just observing everything about you. I won’t interfere in any way.”

“You’d better not.”

Shen Ye turned away and walked over to a breakfast stall. He ordered soup dumplings, wontons, rice wine, beef noodles, fried dumplings, and tea eggs, sitting down to eat at a leisurely pace.
