Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

Ruan Mei's gentle and rational voice echoed on the radio.

Lin Yuan's expression remained calm as his gaze swept across the vast area. He recognized this place—the confined testing ground of the Black Tower Space Station. Although he had never been here in person, he had seen it before.

"Heh, it seems the test with Little Gray Hair wasn't very satisfactory?"

Lin Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile.

"You want to use me as a sparring partner for the bugs? Since you didn't explain it clearly beforehand, I'll just have to make do with what I have."

"drop--"

As a loud alarm broke the silence, a platform rose from the ground, and blue light suddenly surged up.

Inside the observation room, Ruan Mei had already picked up the recording panel, her gaze sweeping over the fluctuating data.

As the light expanded rapidly, Lin Yuan could sense something being gestated within it.

A moment later, a noisy flapping sound rang out, followed by a huge shadow emerging from the light, about to break free of its cocoon.

"Dear Assistant, please be careful. You are about to face the Star Shattering King Insect, a clone of a Breeding Envoy. Please try your best to maneuver and assist in the data testing."

Ruan Mei's voice was faintly heard amidst the annoying chirping of insects.

Even without her saying it, Lin Yuan had already seen a giant king insect that covered the entire sky above the field.

In an instant, the annoying flapping of wings filled the air, and the compound eyes of the Starshattering King Insect lit up one by one, the terrifying light flashing and refracting on the blue crystals.

As if sensing something, it opened its huge, ferocious mouth and let out a deafening howl towards Lin Yuan below.

"With this commotion, Ruan Mei, are you sure it's okay?"

Black Tower strode to the observation window, his face grave.

Even she, the wielder of intellect, felt a considerable threat from this simulated queen insect.

Hearing Heita's question, Ruan Mei did not look up. Her gaze remained focused on the panel, the lines of images and flowing data reflected in her cool eyes, converging into a hint of interest.

"Life indicators, imaginary response energy level, simulated overlap... are all close to expectations."

As she looked at the progress bar on the panel, her mind raced, and a biological model formed in her mind.

"According to the calculations, its next step should be..."

Ruan Mei was confident. Driven by her innate instincts, she knew that Wang Chong's next move would be to attack anything that posed a threat to him, and she would seize this opportunity...

Suddenly, the data on the panel changed drastically.

Ruan Mei's eyes narrowed slightly, and she subconsciously cast a probing glance downwards.

......

Looking at the enormous creature before him and feeling the terrifying power it exuded, Lin Yuan remained calm.

The fact that Nguyen Mai was able to create such a high level of reproduction through human effort demonstrates her remarkable expertise in the field of biology.

While geniuses always have unconventional ways of doing things, Lin Yuan had no intention of commenting, but he also did not intend to accommodate them.

Although he was used as a test subject by Ruan Mei, he did not intend to test her according to her ideas.

So, let him, the "assistant," announce the end of this project.

He once destroyed an entire derived rift in three seconds on the space station. Now, a near-commander-level pseudo-Ohmu is no different from him.

Looking at the Star-Shattering King Insect, Lin Yuan opened his palm. From his perspective, the enormous body was perfectly contained within his hand.

An invisible field began to spread, instantly enveloping the entire area.

The three geniuses in the observation room did not sense anything, but the mindless King Insect changed in an instant.

The artificially created queen insect has no intelligence, only the instincts etched into its genes.

In that instant, instinct began to frantically warn the fake creature, causing it to flap its wings and rise higher, decisively abandoning its intention to attack Lin Yuan.

It wants to live.

Faced with the looming shadow of death, fear, the will to survive, loneliness... things that shouldn't exist in the clones, surged forth wildly, triggering a certain reaction.

The previously deteriorated simulation envoy now seemed to have a crucial link filled: it felt lonely in order to survive. Because of this loneliness, it wanted to multiply, multiply, multiply infinitely!

A blue light shone forth, and from the Queen Beetle at its center, countless rays of light scattered outwards, condensing into even smaller True Stinging Insects.

The true hibernating insects multiply again, one becoming ten, ten becoming a hundred, and a hundred becoming a thousand!

The exponentially growing insect shadows instantly filled the entire space, forming a vast swarm of insects.

The sounds of flapping wings and chirping insects merged into a piercing torrent, eroding everyone's nerves.

"Ruan Mei, the experiment seems to have gone wrong, stop it immediately!"

Looking out the window, Hei Ta suddenly turned around and called out urgently to Ruan Mei.

A look of anxiety flashed across her face; after all, this was her territory!

The Great Black Tower summoned a giant magic staff, which she would use to "magically" isolate this entire module from the space station if necessary.

Screw Gum also took a step forward, and a bright green butterfly rose from his shoulder.

Ruan Mei's gaze was fixed on the data panel.

In her observation, the imaginary reaction of the Star Shattering King Insect, which was originally only close to the Envoy level, seemed to have a crucial link added at this moment, instantly crossing that line and beginning to truly touch the Envoy level.

"What's more? Is it mindset, emotions... or the force of destiny?"

A slightly burning light flashed in Ruan Mei's eyes.

But then, she sensed something was wrong as the Black Tower called out to her.

She raised her fingertip and moved it towards the safety button on the panel, preparing to trigger the clone's self-destruction as a backup plan.

But at that moment, the King Worm that had transcended its original destiny, condensed a path and potential, and briefly touched the level of a Commander, suddenly froze.

To be precise, it was all the insect swarms. Whether it was the Star-Shattering King Insect or the overwhelming swarms of True Stinging Insects, every single one of them was frozen in mid-air.

But then, a faint white light appeared on the body of each insect at the same time.

The light was soft and seemingly harmless, yet it instantly silenced all the sounds of flapping wings, chirping insects, and whistling.

Inside the observation room, a piercing alarm suddenly blared. But the three geniuses had no time to pay attention; their focus was entirely on the shocking scene before them. A mix of emotions welled up within the cabin.

"Oh? So you chose to run away instead of approaching me?"

Lin Yuan's soft laughter rang out.

Like the swarm of insects trapped in amber beginning to change, as if under the influence of an irresistible external force, the shapes of those insects began to collapse from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, as if a three-dimensional creation was forcibly compressed into two dimensions.

All the insect swarms, including the Star Shattering King Insect that briefly touched the Envoy level, were flattened in an instant.

Their bodies are laid out, torn, and stretched. Every tissue, every structure, and every organ is displayed in exquisite detail on the flat surface.

The thin fluid spread out under pressure, converging with the grotesque shape of the insect to create a grotesque painting in the style of Dali.

From start to finish, only a few seconds passed.

Lin Yuan closed his palms completely.

The giant anatomical diagram of insect life remained suspended in the air for a moment, then vanished along with the light after Lin Yuan lowered his arm.

In the observation room, shock, surprise, curiosity, and contemplation filled the air. Three pairs of eyes, each brimming with a complex mix of emotions, turned towards Lin Yuan below.

As the white light slowly dissipated, the area where Lin Yuan stood was shrouded in dim shadows, with only one blazing gaze returning to the three geniuses.

"Geniuses, when does the next test begin?"

Lin Yuan's voice rang out.

..........

Chapter 365 achieved

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's voice, the three geniuses displayed different expressions.

Ruan Mei's finger hovered over the data panel. She stared at the data curves that were rapidly returning to zero, remaining motionless for a long time.

Black Tower opened his mouth, then closed it again, his gaze wandering around, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Finally, Screwgoom reached out and caught the returning butterfly with his finger, his gentlemanly voice breaking the silence calmly and deliberately:

"This is a truly unexpected result, Ms. Ruan Mei. Question: Did this result due to a perturbation in the experimental data, or was the experimental rules rewritten?"

Ruan Mei remained silent for a moment, her gaze falling on the final data.

The instant the Star-Shattering King Worm disappeared, its various indicators indeed reached the level of an Envoy. The reason for this was something she cared about even more than the data itself.

“Unexpected variables led to unexpected results.” She withdrew her gaze, her voice cool and detached.

"But there were also unexpected gains. I think I understand now what those previous clones were missing."

Black Tower leaned over, examining the data on the panel with great interest, and then raised an eyebrow.

"Goodness, looking at these data, it seems your test subjects were so frightened they developed a survival instinct?"

“It’s amazing, but that’s the wonder of organisms.”

Screw Gum added.

"Tsk, no matter what, Ruan Mei, I'm in big trouble now. How am I supposed to deal with that guy at the company now?"

Hei Ta glanced at Ruan Mei, his tone somewhat resentful.

"I'm sorry, but thank you this time." Ruan Mei raised her cool eyes.

"I will make it up to you."

She walked to the observation window and took a deep look at Lin Yuan below.

"I will also give my dear assistant a satisfactory reward. I won't make things difficult for you, dear Black Tower."

"Wow, that's really strange."

Watching Ruan Mei's retreating figure, Hei Ta exchanged a surprised glance with Luo Si Gu Mu.

"It's truly astonishing that Ms. Ruan Mei is so understanding and reasonable, even more so than this experiment."

She chuckled and muttered something.
