They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 135 The Void Slime Named Little Soft
When Ruan Mei asked him to go to her laboratory, Dan Lei naturally set off immediately.

However, this time we can't rely on jumps. The Black Tower space station and the laboratory where Nguyen Mai is currently located are not only worlds apart, but also worlds apart on a cosmic level.

Therefore, Dan Lei directly borrowed the fourth mirror from the Black Tower and used its long-distance teleportation to send himself to Ruan Mei's laboratory.

Black Tower would naturally not refuse to borrow the fourth mirror, after all, it was Ruan Mei who had informed them.

As for the fourth mirror, ever since it was blown up by Dan Lei last time, it hasn't dared to act recklessly in front of Dan Lei.

To be precise, when it saw Danlei, it acted like a little white rabbit seeing a big bad wolf, and immediately ran away.

Now, the Fourth Mirror, summoned by the Black Tower, saw Dan Lei extend his hand and immediately shouted in a panic.
"No, don't do it, Lord Danlei, I don't want to leak any more blood."

Waaah, after what happened last time, I can't be a mirror in front of other mirrors anymore. I feel like I'll only see clowns in everyone I look at from now on.

Please, have mercy! If you do it again, I'll really have no choice but to find a rock and see if I can shatter into pieces.

The fourth mirror's reaction made Dan Lei very embarrassed.

Because Danlei really wanted to charge the fourth mirror to open the door.

Therefore, the hand raised at this moment could only touch the head, and say to the fourth mirror.

"So you're not asking for energy this time? You can open the door without any extra supply?"

Upon hearing this, the fourth mirror immediately cried out.
"Of course! No need for Lord Danlei to worry. You're going to Ms. Ruan Mei's lab, right? Give me the coordinates, and I'll open the door immediately!"

Seeing this, Dan Lei had no choice but to give it the coordinates.

Then the fourth mirror instantly opened a teleportation channel.

However, Dan Lei didn't go in directly. Instead, he looked at the Black Tower, who was smiling and watching the spectacle unfold, and said...

"Hei Ta, I'll come back once everything's settled with Nguyen Mai. I'll have a good chat with you then."

Black Tower naturally knew that Dan Lei was referring to his complaining to Ruan Mei, so he decisively retorted.
"You were the one who wanted to pursue two geniuses at once; you should have told Ruan Mei about this in the first place."

I just did it for you; you should be thanking me.

At this moment, a well appeared above Dan Lei's head. Ignoring the fact that the Black Tower was the envoy, he gritted his teeth and said...

"Yes, I will definitely thank you properly when I get back."

Black Tower knew that Dan Lei's words of gratitude were definitely not good, so he immediately dashed Dan Lei's hopes and replied...
"After you convince Nguyen Mai, go directly to your destination."

Once I've completed the device you need, I'll send it directly to Nguyen Mai.

However, if you come back disappointed by Nguyen Mai, I can offer you some words of comfort.

For example, patting his head or saying a few comforting words.

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei instantly thought of a countermeasure and grinned mischievously.

"I understand. If you fail, you get patted on the head, so if you succeed, you get patted on the head, right?"

"I'm going to Nguyen Mena now, Heita, wait for me to come back."

After saying that, Dan Lei ignored Black Tower's reply and stepped directly into the portal.

Then, the room fell silent. The Black Tower was still attached to the little Black Tower doll, but it didn't say a word.

After a period of silence, the Fourth Mirror asked tentatively.

“Lady Black Tower, next time just throw that arrogant usurper into the darkest place at the edge of the universe. He actually dared to desecrate you a second time.”

However, Black Tower directly rejected the suggestion of the fourth mirror, saying with an expression that seemed to want to laugh but couldn't.

"That kid didn't just want to... cough cough, well, anyway, he wanted to do it more than twice. He really wanted to conquer me."

"But this is certainly an interesting challenge; at least I won't be bored until that kid gives up."

After saying that, Black Tower broke free from the possession, leaving the Fourth Mirror to ponder what was wrong with Lady Black Tower. Could it be that Dan Lei is really going to become the male master in the future?

Dan Lei was unaware of what was happening at the Black Tower. Upon arriving at Ruan Mei's laboratory, Dan Lei saw a male researcher waiting for him.

It's not surprising that Dan Lei has other researchers in Nguyen Mai's lab.

Although other forces in the universe believed that Nguyen Mai always traveled alone, visiting various planets by herself, leaving behind miracles of life before departing.

But anyone who knows her knows that Nguyen Mai has her own laboratory and her own followers.

Of course, Nguyen Mai never acknowledged these researchers as her followers; she always seemed to regard them as temporary workers.

However, these temporary workers were paid for their knowledge, and Nguyen Mai would occasionally actually give them some pointers.

Just like when Nguyen Mai first asked Dan Lei for help in cleaning up the experimental monsters, she would always bring pastries as payment.

In short, Nguyen Mai and Heta are very similar; they both manage their teams primarily offline.

Of course, Dan Lei knew that Ruan Mei had followers from his previous life. In the story of Ting Yun (Wang Guiren), when he was receiving Wanweike's tuning and recalling the past, there was a dialogue where Ruan Mei's followers helped him create a life support pod to keep him alive.

However, this male researcher named Emerson (original) lived up to his name, remaining silent for a long time after a brief self-introduction.

Moreover, instead of taking Danlei to see Ruan Mei, he took Danlei directly to the laboratory and said...

Ms. Ruan Mei said, "Mr. Dan Lei, you shouldn't waste the tools you have to fight against nothingness in this experiment. She needs to confirm your ability to fight against nothingness on your own."

Therefore, please remove all your clothes and place them in the cabinet next to you before entering the experimental chamber.

Dan Lei didn't refuse, because many of these researchers who conducted the experiments were just that straightforward.

So Danlei obediently stripped down to only his underwear and prepared to enter the experimental chamber.

However, at this moment, Emerson spoke again, stating bluntly...

"Please take off all your clothes."

You were subjected to an erosion experiment that led to a hopeless destiny, though I don't know why you dared to undertake such a near-death human experiment.

However, clothing may affect the experimental parameters.

After Emerson said that, Dan Lei understood. It turned out that Ruan Mei hadn't explained her situation clearly to the researchers below.

But thinking about it, it makes sense; Nguyen Mai couldn't possibly tell these people about her relationship with him.

The people below are likely completely unaware of this; they have only received information that someone is coming to conduct an experiment on a human being enduring a void destiny.

No wonder Emerson is so taciturn; he probably thinks he's a dead man whose time is running out.

Now that he knew the researcher had misunderstood, Dan Lei naturally prepared to explain.

However, Nguyen Mai, who had already arrived at the observation room and overheard the conversation, directly explained the situation to Dan Lei via the broadcast.
"Just go in like this. He's my friend, and he won't be easily corrupted by the illusory destiny."

The main purpose of this experiment was to record how a balanced destiny resists a nihilistic destiny.

After Nguyen Mai said that, Emerson's gaze toward Dan Lei immediately changed.

Those who can become friends with geniuses, even if they are not geniuses themselves, are certainly not insignificant figures.

However, Dan Lei ignored him and walked directly into the experimental chamber. Then, the chamber door closed, and several slime-like creatures suddenly appeared on the conveyor belt beneath his feet. However, the dense, ethereal power emanating from them was impossible to suppress, and from the moment they appeared, it began to emanate from their surroundings.

At this moment, Nguyen Mai's voice came through the radio again, speaking calmly.
"Dan Lei, these creatures are one of the products of my research on the influence of the Void Destiny on life. The prototype of this creature is called Little Soft by the locals, so I call it Void Little Soft."

This kind of creature can only be created artificially, and from birth it will fall into self-destruction, constantly absorbing the energy of the void destiny and dissipating it.

However, they are not aggressive, and even if attacked, they will not retaliate; they also have almost no intelligence.

Therefore, I will keep increasing the number of these illusory little software in the experimental chamber. If you feel that you can't take it anymore, don't push yourself, just call a halt.

If that doesn't work, just kill these ethereal minions; that will stop the increase in the ethereal destiny.

Ruan Mei's words were actually meant to discourage Dan Lei from making a decision.

However, Dan Lei simply smiled and said...
“Nguyen Mai, I think you should get the researchers in the vicinity away from here right now.”

The Black Tower should have already told you that I will use the power of other destinies to balance the void and thus resist its erosion.

Therefore, this experimental chamber will inevitably fail in the end, and when the Void Destiny is revealed, it will be fatal to ordinary people.

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Ruan Mei on the other end also rubbed her head with one hand, feeling a headache coming on.

Ruan Mei also knew that Dan Lei had a deep-seated prejudice against her and Heita's experiment failure rate. After all, she had cleaned up the experimental failures of the two of them for fifteen years, most of which were her own.

Therefore, Nguyen Mai could only explain again.

"Don't worry, I've taken all the necessary safety precautions, just like the original breeding experiments. If you try anything, at most you'll just blow up the experimental chamber. The Void Destiny won't be leaked."

Dan Lei felt slightly relieved when he heard that Ruan Mei had brought over the protective measures for the Breeding Fate Experiment.

This Ruan Mei experiment can be seen as a rehearsal for the erosion of the Void Fate of the Fallen Battlefield of Zhu Luo, so Dan Lei took it very seriously from the start.

After all, Dan Lei doesn't want to be like a black swan, always making confident "moves" only to encounter various unforeseen and uncontrollable events, truly living up to the name "black swan."

Back when the "A Thousand Stars Journey PV: A Collection of Fables about the Stars" was released, Black Swan was incredibly prestigious in the eyes of players. Now that she's been reduced to a prison goose, she's just as pitiful in their eyes.

Since Ruan Mei would obviously try her best to test the limit of the concentration of the Void Fate that she could resist, Dan Lei immediately used the Memory Fate that she had gone the furthest from, besides the Balance Fate, to balance the Void Fate.

Moreover, it is the kind that focuses on the illusory destiny and uses the remembered destiny as a secondary element.

Thus, [Echoes Intertwined: The Reign of the Key] was completed in an instant.

Because the void destiny of the master is not Danlei's power, the [Key's Rule], like the [Cooling Chamber] which was balanced in reproduction and memory, began to spread cold air uncontrollably, while only Danlei himself was unaffected.

However, unlike the [Cryogenic Chamber] which freezes enemies with extreme cold, [Key's Domination] is more like a damp cold. The temperature is not too low, but it is ubiquitous and has a strong corrosive ability.

Moreover, by the time those affected by the erosion feel unbearably cold, it is often too late for treatment.

Therefore, those tiny, ethereal creatures froze to death within minutes because the cold air entered their bodies.

Furthermore, as the void destiny within the experimental chamber is continuously transformed into the chilling aura of the [Key's Domination], the survival time of the void minions sent in later becomes shorter and shorter.

Until the experimental chamber itself was corroded by the cold air and directly froze and stopped working.

Throughout the experiment, Dan Lei did not feel much pressure. These ethereal little creatures were too fragile and simply could not increase the concentration of ethereal power in the surrounding space.

The experimental chamber was completely destroyed. After Dan Lei's calls went unanswered, he had no choice but to break out of the chamber, ending the experiment.

After the experiment, Danlei, who had put his clothes back on, finally met Ruan Mei.

As before, Ruan Mei immediately began to grope Dan Lei, leaving the surrounding researchers stunned.

It's important to know that Nguyen Mai doesn't perform these kinds of physical examinations on just anyone; her researchers were completely unaware of this habit.

Since Nguyen Mai had long since stopped caring about Dan Lei, the intimacy level was quite high during the examination.

Fortunately, since Nguyen Mai no longer understands love, her behavior is to some extent an imitation of her mother's behavior towards her when she was a child.

Her examination of Danlei was more like a mother examining her son than a wife examining her husband.

Therefore, these researchers began to suspect that Dan Lei was a descendant of the Ruan Mei family (Dan Lei would not show any signs of being out in public, just like Dan Heng usually does).

As for boyfriends or husbands, these researchers said they simply couldn't imagine what it would be like for Nguyen Mai to be in a relationship.

In short, after a close encounter with Nguyen Mai and a meal with her, the experiment had to continue the next day.

Because Danlei wasn't put under any pressure during this stress test.

Therefore, on the second day, Ruan Mei prepared multiple experimental chambers, which contained a large amount of Void Destiny Power stored in advance using the Void Soft Module, in preparation for letting Dan Lei test them one by one.

As a result, Dan Lei broke through all the way to the final level without being corrupted by the Void Fate.

Furthermore, out of curiosity, Danlei even tried to sign a familiar contract with a Void Soft creature to test whether the contracted creature being infected by the Void would affect him.

Then Dan Lei was pleasantly surprised to discover that this Void Softie could not only passively absorb the power of the Void Fate, but also actively absorb it from others.

However, its self-destructive nature means it won't do anything on its own, which is why Nguyen Mai, the person who created it, was unaware that this little thing had this ability.

Instead, it has always been used as a dangerous, illusory battery.

Of course, if a person is deeply corrupted by nothingness, even this little bit of nothingness can't save them.

However, this little thing can truly cure those who are accidentally corrupted by nothingness, who do not perish on their own, and whose corruption is not deep.

Therefore, Dan Lei felt he had struck gold, as the Void Soft could survive for a long time by using a special container to isolate it from the absorption of the Void Destiny.

Moreover, this thing had already self-destructed to the point of almost losing consciousness, yet it could still be collected into the Devouring Pouch.

So Danlei didn't hold back and directly packed up all the Void Softies in Ruan Mei's hands, and even asked her to cultivate a batch in an emergency.

After the Black Tower sends over the containers that can store Envoy-level Void Fates and Destruction Fates, that will be the case.

Dan Lei confidently bid farewell to Ruan Mei and set off.

Before departing, Nguyen Mai came alone to Vimana to see Dan Lei off.

In fact, Nguyen Mebihita attached great importance to Dan Lei's century-long promise.

At this point, Black Tower was still hoping that a hundred years later, he would simply declare Dan Lei a failure, but without punishing him, and just ridicule him.

Ruan Mei, who was willing to help Dan Lei get back together with his girlfriend, was actually quite serious.

As we all know, in a relationship, regardless of the reason, as long as the woman takes the initiative, the level of intimacy will increase rapidly.

Therefore, the two of them, who have been sharing all three meals a day with Danlei these past few days, have clearly become closer.

Before leaving, Ruan Mei even took the initiative to say goodbye and hug Dan Lei, which made Dan Lei want to strike while the iron was hot and keep going.

However, Dan Lei is actually the same as Nguyen Mai and Heita.

For Danlei, at least for now, his career is more important than love.

So, after returning as promised, Ruan Mei gave herself one last hug, and Dan Lei embarked on his journey to the burial place of Zhu Luo.
