"Uh, it's not a matter of taste or not." The voice explained, "It's just that in your era, he seemed to like it a lot. An era that symbolized freedom."

Damn. The image of Henry Wood, that brat, dimmed again.

Suddenly, a chill ran through my heart. That thing about taste just now was clearly only what I was thinking. How could he possibly know?

"Uh, I can sense it from your brainwaves." That guy answered me directly, relying on what I was thinking.

"Privacy, do you guys even understand privacy?" I cursed out loud, "And you call yourselves pioneers of civilization." Damn it, reading my brainwaves is even more outrageous than stripping me naked.

"Sorry, I didn't know you cared so much about this issue. I promise I won't read your brainwaves again." The voice did sound somewhat apologetic.

"Since you've apologized, I'll forgive you." I waved my hand magnanimously, but then added, "Of course, to compensate for my loss, I demand your brainwave-reading function." After all, they're the strong ones here, and there's no court for me to sue them for invading my privacy, so I could only turn my grief and anger into a shakedown.

"That's absolutely impossible." The voice refused quickly, "The device is simply too huge, you couldn't possibly move it. Besides, on our Zhouyuan, there's only one of these devices."

"Damn, you talk about compensation all the time, but when I ask for something, you won't give it to me?" I grumbled, "Do your words even count?"

"Don't worry, even though I can't give you that device, I can privately give you a little something. Although its functions aren't as powerful." As soon as the voice finished, a beam of light floated in front of me.

On the beam of light rested something that looked like a wristwatch. I reached out and picked it up, examined it for a while, and saw that it was indeed a watch, so I said coldly, "Don't tell me this is just something to tell the time."

"Heh heh, you're really sharp. It is indeed for telling time." Before I could lose my temper, the voice immediately explained, "Besides telling time, it has three other functions."

Chapter 4: Auspicious Signs from the Heavens (Part 2)

"Then hurry up and tell me. If I'm not satisfied, I won't take it." I said fiercely, "Don't think I'm easy to bully." I've figured it out—this alien is actually pretty easy to talk to. As the saying goes, a kind person gets bullied, a tame horse gets ridden. If this alien is kind, then he's probably the one getting bullied by me. Honestly, if it were a violent-type alien, I wouldn't dare talk like this.

"It will definitely satisfy you." The voice quickly explained, "First, it can also do simple brainwave analysis. Although it can't match the device, it can help you figure out whether the person emitting the brainwaves has good or bad intentions toward you. Satisfied with this function?"

I neither agreed nor disagreed. To be honest, I actually liked this function a lot. At least I could tell who meant well and who meant harm. This function is really quite useful.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, the voice continued, "The second function is defense. It can instantly put a light shield around you to block external attacks."

Hmm, I nodded. Not bad, at least I don't have to worry about my life.

"Of course, there are limits. With the energy stored in it now, you can only use it three times."

"Damn it, trying to fool me with a defective product!" I cursed, "Three times isn't enough! What, after three times, I'm just supposed to die?"

"Don't worry, the energy can be recharged. As long as you fill it up, you can use it three more times." The voice sounded again, "But as for what kind of energy to use, you'll have to figure that out yourself. I use the energy from my own planet."

Sigh, three times it is. At least it can be recharged. Maybe solar energy will work. Then I asked, "What's the third function? If you tell me it's for communication, I'll curse you to death."

"Aha, how could that be? Communication is possible, but since you don't have another one, it's useless anyway." The voice continued, "The third function is biological energy detection. It can detect the energy contained in any lifeform and indicate its strength."

That's pretty interesting too. I've always thought Brian Bolton was strong, but never knew exactly how strong. If I use this to check, I'll know.

So I took off the watch and put it on my left wrist, and had that alien guy teach me how to use it. The operation was so simple, even a fool could do it. With my talent, I learned it in less than two minutes. First, I tested the friendliness function on myself. The display showed the target was extremely friendly, with a gorgeous green color, and a value of ninety-nine on the screen. Of course, if I'm not good to myself, who else would be?

The defense function only has three uses. I didn't want to waste them, so I skipped testing it. As for the last function, I tested it on myself as well, and it actually showed: Target combat power thirteen, extremely weak, no threat. All green.

Damn, I'm at least muscular, and it says I'm extremely weak, no threat. Damn it, am I still a good little boy or what?
