Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

Qi Zhimu, who had left with the Black Tower first, was unaware that the former Five Heroes of the Clouds were discussing him.

After strolling around Jinren Lane for more than half an hour, Yu Qingtu received a message.

"Black Tower, the repair work on the simulated universe is complete, and it has successfully established a working relationship with the underlying logic system you set up."

"Based on the current trend, it is expected that things will return to normal within a few weeks, and the complete operational logs and other data will be re-imported and preserved."

Black Tower nodded slightly, looking as if he had expected this.

To make time for Qi Zhimu, she put in an even harder effort than usual, completing her duties ahead of schedule.

"And you, what do you say? Now that you've adapted to the architecture of the simulated universe, do you want to follow my example?" Black Tower spread out his right hand, tilting his head slightly.

"Learn what... Oh, you mean finish the work ahead of schedule with you, and then go to Luofu to see Xiao Mu?"

"Bingo." Black Tower snapped his fingers.

Although Yu Qingtu was tempted, he remained restrained.

She understood perfectly well that Qi Zhimu had only recently regained his past memories and needed some time to process them.

The time required to readjust to the emotional impact of past ties is no less than that of lovers who have been deeply in love for over a decade but broke up and moved on.

Now that Xiao Mu understands her heart and mind, there's no need to rush.

Having lived through hundreds of Amber Ages, she possessed the patience to gradually escalate a relationship from the initial stages of infatuation to full-blown romance.

"Xiao Mu doesn't lack companionship right now; it depends on his thoughts."

"Hey, what are you talking about? It's precisely because you don't lack company that you should come more often."

Hei Ta lightly touched Qi Zhimu's waist with his arm and raised an eyebrow.

"Otherwise, his yandere disciple might completely steal the part of Zhi Mu's heart that belongs to you."

"Xiao Mu isn't that kind of person." Yu Qingtu was both amused and exasperated.

Qi Zhimu's heart has always been set on her as a genius confidante, and the path she's on hasn't been fully switched yet.

It must be acknowledged that Ruan Mei is directly responsible for the current situation, having taught students who never overstep the bounds of propriety.

Even though they were driven out back then, the imprint of their ideology remains.

Otherwise, even if Qi Zhimu's heart were made of iron, after more than a hundred years, he would have already started calling her "sister."

As for calling someone a "senior" who is distant, aloof, and devoid of warmth for a lifetime?

It's even less likely that he would only remember how to make pickled soybean cake when he was on his deathbed, and then change his mind in his last words to her.

It was that phrase, "Sister Qingtu," that awakened the true emotions hidden beneath her genius and arrogance.

I've come to appreciate this little guy who always keeps his word, knows how to be grateful, and respects his teachers.

But the little guy died of old age and entered the cycle of reincarnation.

Besides that, there was only that perfect pastry that was supposed to be served on the agreed-upon day and successfully won her over.

All of the above... is because of Ruan Mei!

Whether by coincidence or not, Black Tower suddenly mentioned Nguyen Mai.

"That's true. Zhi Mu is still too gentle. She didn't even punish Jing Liu severely for causing such trouble. Putting her aside, let's talk about Ruan Mei. Have you contacted her yet?"

"Ah Ruan did not carry a long-range telescope, so he cannot be contacted by ordinary means of communication. It is likely that he is currently living in a world that is even more desolate than the edge of the Milky Way."

Yu Qingtu found it slightly amusing when Heita mentioned Ruan Mei.

"Why are you in such a hurry to find her? Normally, shouldn't you be hoping she stays far away from Xiao Mu?"

"Hmph, then of course we'll torture her."

Black Tower curled his lip and said rather impolitely:

"I'm a little upset that Zhi Mu doesn't hate her. You want to get back together with Zhi Mu? Fine, you'll have to get past me first."

"I don't have much to say about Jingliu, I just want her to correct her perception, adjust her attitude, and suppress her morbid possessiveness."

"Ruan Mei is different. She said she would make Zhi Mu forget her if she didn't look for her for a hundred years. That's what she said herself."

"She herself said that after Zhi Mu forgets her, they will be even."

"Doesn't that mean that Zhi Mu owes her a debt of gratitude that he has spent the rest of his life repaying, even falling into nothingness?"

"Alright then, if Ruan Mei wants to rekindle the relationship she once had, she'll have to accept the reversal of their positions and use all her skills to win over Zhi Mu."

"You're her friend, so it's inconvenient for you to have sex with her. But it's different for me. She only sees me as a business partner, so I don't feel any pressure at all."

After rattling off these words, Hei Ta didn't forget to observe Qi Zhimu's expression.

Seeing that he didn't react in any particular way, she smiled with satisfaction.

Regardless of what Brother Mu's true thoughts are, at least he won't undermine himself.

"...So, if Ruan Mei finds out that Xiao Mu remembers her and comes back, what do you plan to do?" Yu Qingtu asked curiously.

"Simply do everything you can to prevent Ruan Mei and Zhi Mu from being alone together."

"A big light bulb? Oh wait, no..."

Yu Qingtu realized what was happening and quickly changed his tune:

"Given the current situation, Ah Ruan is the one who's the third wheel."

"Hmph, you don't feel bad that I treated her like this, do you?" Black Tower raised an eyebrow.

"At this level, no."

"What if she can't handle the stimulation I give her and switches to a more elaborate knife?"

"Oh……"

Imagining that scene repeating itself, Yu Qingtu couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh.

"That's really weak and incompetent. I would look down on her. Even if it's just to comfort a friend, I wouldn't bother repeating it a second time."

"Let's not talk about Aruan for now. Her departure doesn't mean she'll give up on Xiao Mu. She's probably working on a big project, so there's still hope."

"Let's get down to business. Screws just proposed a new experimental concept and would like to hear our opinion."

"Explain in detail." Black Tower put away his expression.

"He wants to wait until the simulated universe is repaired, and then, based on the underlying logic and using the Screw Star technology as a carrier, write a branch project called Differential Universe to undertake some independent research for the simulated universe."

"Great, I support it. Is there anything extra I need to do?" Black Tower hit the nail on the head.

Yu Qingtu: "It's not troublesome. I'll just find some time to go to Screw Star and write a completely new underlying logic for the Differential Universe."

"The differential universe isn't on the space station... Oh right, the existing hardware isn't good enough for that."

Black Tower realized what was happening.

Just like with games, the requirements for releasing DLC ​​and making a sequel are not the same.

"No problem. I'll discuss the more specific details with you when I get back to the space station."

"Okay, that's all for now." Yu Qingtu was about to hang up.

"Hey, Zhimu is right next to me, at least say hello."

The film was shot on a large screen in Heita, which included Qi Zhimu.

"Sister Qingtu, Xiaota is just like that, always rushing around. Don't mind her." Qi Zhimu smiled helplessly.

"It's very human, which is great. It's quite rare for a human genius." Yu Qingtu smiled.

"If you're not going to be energetic and impulsive, do you want to be like your former teacher?" Black Tower rolled his eyes at him.

Breathing is all it takes for Black Tower iRuan to be so simple.
