He came into this world in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to say a proper goodbye to the robots.
What will Gu He and the others think when the war ends and they see only Gu Yunzhou left on the warship...?
Ji Zhaoming couldn't imagine it.
Gu Yunzhou brushed his bangs back from his head, helped Ji Zhaoming up, and said in a low voice, "Right? He seemed to have called me by that name just now?"
At this point, he looked at Ji Zhaoming with a somewhat confused expression: "I should know you, right?"
Huh? This person doesn't even remember their own name?
Ji Zhaoming was stunned: "You don't know your own name?"
Gu Yunzhou slowly sat back down on the straw mat, tilted his head, and his dark eyes reflected Ji Zhaoming's image: "I don't remember anything."
Um.
If Ji Zhaoming were to write a novel, he could even come up with a title.
What to do when I pick up a powerful figure with amnesia after transmigrating?
Ji Zhaoming had no choice but to say, "Okay, do you know where you live?"
Judging from the tone of that person, Gu Yunzhou must be an important figure.
Ji Zhaoming glanced at the straw mat beside him and thought that this judgment might be a little outrageous. What kind of important person could just find a tattered straw mat to sleep on?
They look like they're ready to pack up and leave at any moment.
Ji Zhaoming wanted to ask someone, but after walking for more than ten minutes, he didn't see a single bird.
The sun was blazing, and the place had just been set on fire. There was no water, and every step forward was an ordeal. Ji Zhaoming shielded his eyes and looked up at the sky, estimating that it was noon, when the sun was at its most intense.
Ji Zhaoming was somewhat discouraged: "It's one thing to not see people, but how come we can't even see an ant?"
Gu Yunzhou stopped and said, "Because this is a garbage planet."
Ji Zhaoming had only been in this world for less than an hour, but he had already heard the name "Garbage Star" many times.
The system only provided him with the most basic information. Ji Zhaoming asked, "What is a garbage planet? Hmm, wait, you've regained your memories?"
Gu Yunzhou was even more confused than Ji Zhaoming: "Huh? I don't know, I just thought of it."
This person's personality is completely different from Gu Yunzhou's in the previous world.
In the previous world, Gu Yunzhou, as the leader of the machine race, was meticulous, rigorous, and decisive.
In contrast, Gu Yunzhou's casualness made Ji Zhaoming suspicious. This person could use the sky as a mat and the ground as a bed, and was extremely carefree. Even after losing his memory, he was not in a hurry and still had the mood to wander around with Ji Zhaoming.
Ji Zhaoming didn't know whether to say this person was magnanimous or what.
Ji Zhaoming asked, "What do you mean by 'garbage planet'?"
Gu Yunzhou looked ahead.
Such a large planet, yet there isn't a single tree.
Gu Yunzhou said, "On abandoned planets, water and food are the most scarce resources. Here, life is the least valuable thing."
Ji Zhaoming: ...?
This sounds even crueler than the last world.
Ji Zhaoming was somewhat puzzled: "Does anyone really want to come here?"
After he finished speaking, he saw a look of inquiry in Gu Yunzhou's eyes.
You asked the wrong question.
Gu Yunzhou said, "You look like someone from the last century."
That was before AB differentiated, when technology wasn't as advanced, wars weren't frequent, and at least people didn't have to worry about food and clothing.
Later, people began to differentiate into A and B, with clear hierarchical classes. Technology developed rapidly, but it veered in an uncontrollable direction.
It takes time for people to accept new things.
However, the differentiation between AB and AB is an era that gives people no breathing room.
It seems like this world has entered some kind of bug, drastically dividing people into two types.
Beta is so mediocre that he struggles to even survive, while Aplha possesses powerful mental strength but is prone to losing control.
Everything is developing in the most extreme direction.
Even resources.
Gu Yunzhou didn't delve too deeply into which century Ji Zhaoming belonged to—he could believe it even if Ji Zhaoming didn't belong to this world.
Even a single glance was enough for Gu Yunzhou to know what kind of person Ji Zhaoming was.
It looks like a piece of transparent jade.
Under the sunlight, it was so beautiful that it inspired longing.
—It makes people who are numb from living in darkness want to desperately pull them back into their own world.
Gu Yunzhou pursed his lips heavily, put his hands in his pockets, and clenched them into fists, as if he was suppressing something.
After a long pause, he continued to explain, "Of course, no one wants to come here, but those who come here have nowhere else to go."
Nobody wants to live in the gutter.
Just as Gu Yunzhou naturally wanted to keep Ji Zhaoming.
Gu Yunzhou noticed Ji Zhaoming's dry lips, looked around, and said, "Come with me."
After walking through several streets, I saw a dilapidated house in the distance with a sign that said "Housing". Of the entire house, only the outermost part looked the cleanest.
But this is already the best hotel on the planet Garbage.
Gu Yunzhou stepped inside first, casually ripping off the pendant from his chest and tossing it in front of the owner: "Two rooms."
This pendant is clearly not something an ordinary person could own.
The shopkeeper paused, then suddenly looked up, gasped when he saw the newcomer, and stammered, "City...City Lord? What brings you here?"
Gu Yunzhou ignored him and tapped the table with his bent hand.
The shopkeeper immediately stood up straight, returned the pendant to Gu Yunzhou, and said with a forced smile, "Does the city lord need to pay for his lodgings?"
Gu Yunzhou disliked idle chatter and even more so, he disliked anyone contradicting his decisions.
He didn't take the pendant, turned around and walked towards the stairs. After taking a few steps, he looked back at Ji Zhaoming.
Disliking idle chatter, Gu Yunzhou asked, "Do you like it here?"
Ji Zhaoming said, "Hmm, I think we should just find somewhere to stay."
Ji Zhaoming was a bit spoiled in the previous world, but he wasn't afraid of hardship.
Gu Yunzhou said, "It's worthless stuff."
These words sounded like they were meant to comfort him, and Ji Zhaoming laughed and said, "I'm fine anyway. My clothes are covered in dust, so staying here would be pointless."
Gu Yunzhou muttered to himself, "Yeah, I need to buy a new set of clothes too."
How come the money I'm spending is increasing?
Ji Zhaoming could only say, "Really, you don't need to be so nice to me."
Gu Yunzhou lowered his eyes, his mood instantly somber.
This Gu Yunzhou suddenly overlapped with the Gu Yunzhou of the previous world.
But Ji Zhaoming firmly refused, saying, "I really don't need that many."
Gu Yunzhou said, "But you saved me, and I want to give my savior the best of everything."
Ji Zhaoming looked completely bewildered: "Huh? When?"
Gu Yunzhou said, "When we meet."
This is no joke.
What was Gu Yunzhou thinking when he was covered by a straw mat?
He wasn't thinking about anything.
He was feeling time slowly passing by and life slowly fading away.
Ji Zhaoming's appearance was like a pause button, turning back time and space, illuminating a ray of light in Gu Yunzhou's vitality.
This sounds ridiculous; they've clearly met for the first time.
Gu Yunzhou said with a troubled expression, "If you are unwilling to accept it, I can only try to find a better one for you."
He had already figured it out: since he was the city lord, he would lure Ji Zhaoming into his castle.
Seeing that Gu Yunzhou wasn't making excuses, Ji Zhaoming had no choice but to accept this kind gesture.
He seemed to be constantly being taken care of.
Ji Zhaoming reasonably suspected that the system had secretly given him a cheat code.
system:【……】
The system couldn't help but speak up: 【No, it didn't.】
Ji Zhaoming had his own theory, and he said confidently: "Then why are there people in every world who are so kind to me?"
First the machine race, then Gu Yunzhou.
system:【……】
It didn't say anything, but Ji Zhaoming inexplicably sensed a sense of grievance from its silence.
"Hmm?" Gu Yunzhou asked, "What does your savior want?"
Ji Zhaoming waved his hand and walked to Gu Yunzhou's side: "Just call me Ji Zhaoming. I'll stay here."
The boss took the opportunity to turn around and glance at the boy who had been following Gu Yunzhou.
He was slender, but not like the kind of slenderness that comes from starvation on a garbage planet. He was well-proportioned and handsome, with dazzlingly white skin and soft hair that made him seem approachable. When he smiled, you could vaguely see two inconspicuous dimples.
The boy seemed to notice his gaze and raised his hand to greet him.
The red knot was very noticeable on his porcelain-white hands, and a piece of jade was tied to the knot.
