Transform into Ruan Mei and start from the battlefield of national destiny

"Although I don't seek power, any clues about the Star God must not be missed."

"The only thing that bothers me is that Cocoon isn't qualified as a test subject because it's a single specimen. I have to come up with a better plan to study it while minimizing the risk of disturbing it."

"Letting nature take its course might be a good option."

"The Herrschers, born from the Collapse, can, in a sense, be considered fragments of the cocoon. My research on the Herrschers will aid my research on the cocoon."

"With this thought in mind, I temporarily stopped my research on cocoons."

"It was under these circumstances that I met her, Mebius."

"Although I haven't played this game, I've heard of the name Möbius. He's a gifted scientist who made great achievements in the field of biology and later became one of the most famous figures."

"I suddenly became a little curious about her. Can her talents help me achieve my goals? Can she be a good assistant? Or even a partner?"

"After a brief moment of reflection, I decided to take her in. After all, judging by her vital information, she's only nine years old. Even if she possesses incredible talent, it will take time for it to mature."

"Besides, perhaps her arrival will also help Xing's growth?"

"I'm not very good at communicating with people, let alone raising a child, so a playmate of the same age might be necessary. At least I think she should be able to get along with Xing."

"Of course, we should change her clothes before we go home. Although I have temporarily adjusted her body so that she can withstand the coldness of the rain, going home wet will definitely cause some unnecessary trouble."

Chapter 3 Pink Puppy, Double

Vostok-51, on the busy street, pedestrians who should have been passing by in a hurry stopped inadvertently and cast glances of admiration and surprise.

Under the shade of a tree, beside a flower bed, the two girls met.

A girl with pink hair, blue eyes with pink pupils, a girlish figure, and a face as gorgeous as a girl. She was wearing a purple dress with a white petal decoration pinned behind her head.

Opposite the girl was a little girl who looked like she was only in elementary school.

The same pink hair, blue eyes with pink pupils, perhaps because she has not yet grown up, her face has an indelible childishness, which further highlights her delicate and cute face like a porcelain doll. She is wearing a white dress, and her small feet exposed outside the dress are wearing a pair of sandals. Her ten fingers are small and crystal clear like pearls and broken jade.

The most striking thing is the unusually similar appearance of the two. To outsiders, they almost look like a mother and daughter, or sisters. However, no one knows that before this, the two actually did not know each other at all and had no blood connection.

It was just a chance encounter. After an exclamation, the two stopped, one raised his head and the other lowered his head, and they looked at each other.

Then, after a brief silence, the two lovely girls came to similar conclusions as they examined each other's appearance and imprinted their faces and temperaments in their minds.

"Wow! That's me when I grow up!"

"Wow! That's me as a kid!"

Two voices sounded, with similar voices, one with the youthful beauty of a young girl, the other with the liveliness and cuteness of a young girl.

Then, the two of them chuckled and smiled brightly.

It was not known who reached out his hand first, or if they both reached out their hands to each other at the same time, and the two hands, one big and one small, were held together.

They were strangers one moment and inseparable sisters the next.

Holding hands, under the attention of passers-by, the two walked into a milk tea shop on the corner.

"Well, let me introduce myself. My name is Xilian. What's your name, little sister?" The girl spoke first.

"My name is Alicia, big sister." The little girl called sweetly.

"Wow, what a cute name. Can I call you Ai Li?" Xilian came over affectionately and looked at Alishia who was sitting on the seat opposite, shaking her legs.

"Of course, Sister Xilian." Alicia replied with a smile.

Before they had a few words, the waiter from the milk tea shop brought two cups of milk tea and placed them on the table.

"Thank you."

"Um..." After delivering the milk tea, the clerk with long straight black hair did not leave. She was hesitating.

"Hmm? Big sister, do you have anything you want to say to Ellie? Ellie is listening." Alisia noticed the clerk's hesitation and asked with her little head tilted up.

"And me, I'm also happy to hear what troubles a cute girl may have." Xilian also smiled, and her enthusiastic attitude made her seem even more approachable.

The clerk hesitated for a moment at the friendly duo's approach, but he finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Can I take a picture of you two? No, I'm not going to do anything weird, I just want to put it up on the wall."

"Well, if you agree, these two cups of milk tea will be free, and you can enjoy a 50% discount when you come back next time. Of course, it's okay to refuse, it's not mandatory."

The clerk's voice was small, almost whispering, and he didn't seem very familiar with this kind of situation.

Xilian glanced at the clerk and understood what was going on - he was probably a student who came out to work, his eyes were very clear.

"Of course I have no problem with that. On the contrary, it would be more interesting if more people could see it." Xilian replied with a smile.

"Yeah, me too." Alicia nodded.

"Thank you very much!" the clerk shouted happily, then turned around and went back to the counter, and took out a camera after a moment.

Without waiting for the clerk to say anything, Xilian and Alicia looked at each other, then stood up and stood together - Xilian held Alicia in his arms, with his chin resting on the top of Alicia's head. The two similar faces together looked extremely cute.

The clerk was so fascinated that her eyes were almost full of stars. She immediately pressed the shutter button and took several pictures, and then expressed her gratitude again.

A small episode brought Xilian and Ailishia closer together. Physical contact can make people relax more than verbal communication.

"By the way, Ai Li, where are your parents?" Xi Lian knew that among the human group, a child as young as Ai Lishia would definitely be taken care of by adults when going out, but she didn't see them, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Alicia responded by shaking her head: "I was born in an orphanage."

Xi Lian blinked, a look of guilt flashing in her eyes: "Sorry, Ai Li, I didn't know..."

"It's okay, Sister Xilian. The orphanage is fun. Everyone wants to play with me, and the director and others take good care of us." Alicia shook her head, signaling Xilian not to worry.

Xilian took a sip of milk tea, and then realized that even if she came from an orphanage and came out at such a young age, there should be an adult looking after her, right?

Xilian asked her doubts. Alicia was silent for a while and said, "Actually, I left without saying goodbye."

"Well...how should I put it? Although everyone is very nice to me, I want to see this beautiful world."

In fact, this was an excuse. The truth was that Alicia discovered that she was different from ordinary people, and she found suspicious people near the orphanage. In order to avoid causing trouble to other people in the orphanage, the precocious Alicia decided to leave.

Xilian didn't know this, but she was sharp-minded enough to see that Alicia was not being sincere.

Xi Lian didn't say anything, but drank the milk tea in one breath: "In that case, Ai Li, do you want to come to your sister's house?"

"Oh, it's rare to meet a girl who looks so much like me. I can't help but want to get close to her." Xilian smiled and invited Alicia.

"Go to my elder sister's house?" A hint of hesitation flashed through Alicia's mind. She could indeed feel a sense of closeness from the girl in front of her, but would doing so really not bring her trouble?

So, after just a brief hesitation, Alicia refused.

"Don't be so reserved, Ellie. I really want to take care of cute girls. Little Twinkle always stays away from you. Although hide-and-seek is fun, it makes me sad to see you do that all the time."

"Oh, right, I haven't introduced her to you yet. Little Star is my friend's daughter. She's the same age as you, but she's a little naughty."

"Sister Xilian, I..." Alicia was moved.

"Okay, okay, don't hesitate. Even if you really aren't used to living here, we can talk about it later. Come on, come on." Xilian directly grabbed Ailiya's hand.

Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Ailiya reluctantly followed Xilian back home.

Chapter 4 Snake's Troubles

So, why did things turn out like this?

Mebius lay on the table, listening to the noisy chatter of the elementary school students around him, and felt his temples throbbing.

She, Mebius, was born with knowledge and was a gifted genius. She was bound to be a great figure who would dominate the biological world in the future. But now she had fallen to the point of hanging out with these little brats who couldn't even make mistakes in addition and subtraction.

It's sad and lamentable.

She thought that after being picked up by that woman, she would value her talent and would definitely give her special education.

In fact, the woman named Ruan Mei seemed to be considering doing so, and everything changed because of another pink-haired woman!

What does it mean that children should go to primary school obediently?

Damn Xi Lian!

Of course, it would be fine if it was just elementary school, after all, I have gone to school before, but the most hateful thing is, why do I still have to take care of the child!

"Hey! Mobius, stop hunching over the table with a gloomy face. It's recess time, let's go play together."

A face with the same pink hair entered Mebius's sight. She had her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and showed a cute smile that was extremely lethal.

"No." Mebius rejected Alicia's invitation without hesitation, which made people doubt whether she was sincere or not.

"Eh? Don't be so heartless, Mebius. Even though I know you are pretending, I still feel sad." Little Alicia covered her chest with her hands, looking hurt.

"Come on, come on, Mebius." Alicia hugged one of Mebius' arms.

"You rejected all of Ellie's invitations, you bad guy. Don't play with her anymore."

"Mebius is a bad guy, bullying Ellie again!"

Because of Alicia's actions, the elementary school students glared at the ungrateful Mobius.

Children are like this. If someone else doesn’t like what they like, it means that person must be a bad person.

"Ai! Li! Xi! Ya!" Mebius shouted angrily.

"I'm always here!" Not only was Alicia not scared, but she took a step forward and hugged Mebius, looking like a very good friend.

Mebius had nothing to say to the stubborn Alicia, especially since she was stronger than him. If she really wanted to drag him out, he would be completely helpless.

At this moment, not far away, bursts of screams and even the crying of children were heard from the classroom door.

The cry filled with fear made Mebius's eyes narrow.

She broke free from Alicia's arms and subconsciously protected Alicia behind her.

At this moment, attracted by the sound, the elementary school students who were peeking and huddled together at the classroom door also screamed and ran away, and then a little gray-haired girl ran in from outside the classroom.

"Sister Mobius, look what I found!" The little girl ran to Mobius and stretched out her hands as if offering a treasure.

I saw a long life struggling and twisting in those hands. It had fine scales covered with gorgeous patterns. In front of its triangular head, a forked bright red tongue protruded.

Mebius's eyes went dark and he almost fainted, his anger rising rapidly.

Because the thing held in the little girl's hand was a snake, and with Mebius's knowledge, he could recognize that it was a highly poisonous snake.

"Let it go for me - no, hold on to it!" Mebius didn't even bother to be angry and immediately yelled at Xing.

"Ah? Oh..." Xing held the snake firmly, holding one hand near the snake's head and the other hand holding its middle.

Mebius pulled out his schoolbag from the desk, unzipped it, held it upside down, shook it, and let all the textbooks fall to the ground before handing it to Xing.

"Do as I say, put the snake in first and don't let go." Mebius said in a very serious tone.

"I understand." Xing dragged out and put the snake into her schoolbag.

Mebius held the bag and fumbled with his hands. After making sure that he had wrapped the venomous snake's head, he breathed a sigh of relief and let Xing let go.

When Xing pulled his hands out of the bag, Mebius quickly zipped it up.

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to scold Xing, the teacher had already heard the news and rushed over.

"Where's the snake! Where's the snake!" The teacher's face turned pale and he shouted loudly.

"I've put it in my schoolbag." Mebius picked up the schoolbag in his hand.

The teacher rushed over and snatched the bag from Mebius's hand. Feeling something moving inside, he breathed a sigh of relief, then turned stern again: "Who brought this snake into the classroom?"

Xing raised his hand directly.

"Come with me to the office!" the teacher shouted at Xing in a bad tone, then left with his schoolbag.

Mebius frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, and said to Alicia, "I'll go over and take a look."

Without waiting for Alicia's response, she walked out of the classroom.

"Huh? I want to go too!" Alicia blinked and pouted.

It was clearly a group of three people, but I was not included. I was angry.

On the other side, the teacher brought Xing back to the office. He threw his schoolbag on the table and yelled at Xing: "Tell me! Why did you bring a snake to school?"

"Huh?" Xing tilted her head. "I didn't bring the snake to school. I found it in the bushes."

As soon as Xing finished speaking, the teacher slapped the desk with a loud bang.

"Still quibbling!" The teacher said in a stern tone with a bad look on his face.
