Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

"Xing arrived at the platform, where a throng of people surged, with scholars coming and going in an endless stream. Xing's gaze passed through the throng of people and locked onto a familiar figure—Ruan Mei was standing in front of the transparent window, holding a plate of exquisite pastries, her eyes quietly gazing at the azure planet outside the station."

"Xing nimbly moved through the crowd, but just as she reached Ruan Mei, before she could raise her hand to greet her, her fingers, carrying a hint of the sweet scent of pastries, were already raised and touching the side of her neck."

Xing's breathing hitched slightly. Ruan Mei's fingertips, cool as jade, gently pressed against her carotid artery. The noisy voices around her seemed to fade away in an instant, leaving only her focused gaze and delicate movements.

Xing pointed to the pastry stain at the corner of her mouth with a hint of embarrassment, but she didn't seem to mind and smiled faintly: "Hello, I hope I didn't scare you."

“This is my working habit. Opening my senses through touch allows me to see details of life, which helps me understand your biological structure.”

“This is the foundation of deconstruction and reconstruction. Don’t worry, you’re healthy—a perfect specimen. I love perfect specimens.”

Dragon clan.

"Wait, experimental samples? Is she planning to use stars for experiments?"

Caesar suddenly realized that Ruan Mei had just observed Xing's battle in the simulated universe. Could it be that her next experiment was planned to be conducted in the space station? And Xing's combat power was also an important part of her experimental data?

What experiment requires fighting?

Caesar suddenly remembered the "Resident Evil" he had watched with Nono before. The protagonist seemed to have fought in a laboratory. Could it be that Ruan Mei looked gentle and refined, but was actually the type of evil scientist in some movies?

"It shouldn't be. This is a space station, not Ruan Mei's private laboratory. Black Tower and Screw Gumu are here. With them here, even if Ruan Mei wants to borrow Xing, the 'important partner in the simulated universe', to conduct experiments, they must have known about it in advance." Chu Zihang said expressionlessly.

"That makes sense. But what about her ability to perform full-body examinations with just her fingers? Is that a special ability of hers as a genius?"

"A genius that is favored by the Venerable Boshi must have something that is different from ordinary people, right?"

Chu Zihang's face was solemn. "Compared to Black Tower and Screw Gumu, Ruan Mei's personality is more in line with my idea of ​​a scholar. But her tone of voice... seems to be indifferent to many people and things. Could it be because she has lived in seclusion for so long?"

-

""There's some pastry stain on the corner of your mouth..." Xing reminded again."

"Huh? Really?" Ruan Mei finally realized. "I was just admiring the scenery and lost myself in it. I don't often go in and out of the space station, but I just discovered this place today. The view is expansive and soothing. It goes perfectly with the aroma of lotus leaves, plum blossoms, glutinous rice, and icing sugar."

"As she spoke, Ruan Mei split the dessert in her hand in half, and the two of them savored it carefully while enjoying the view outside the window."

"She seems very interested in baking and cooking. We chatted about many topics besides research. However, when we talked about the space station, Ruan Mei frowned slightly, saying that the noisy environment was not suitable for pastries."

"So... do you still remember my research?" Ruan Mei looked at Xing seriously.

"It seems to be cultivating life..." Xing was about to say this, but what came out of his mouth was something completely unrelated: "I don't remember, I just like to study the little story of the toilet."

"A faint smile appeared on Ruan Mei's lips."

““???””

"Xing was stunned."

“(What’s going on…what am I…saying?)”

"I see. It's a lovely hobby." Ruan Mei smiled and nodded.

"But remember, next time you encounter something like this, hide your expression until you understand what's going on. Otherwise..." Ruan Mei's expression suddenly grew serious.

“…will be full of flaws.”

Gintama.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk…”

Gintoki lay on the sofa, watching the stars being toyed with on the sky, and let out a regretful sigh.

"This tells us a profound truth—" Gintoki suddenly raised a finger, "Never eat anything given by a strange woman! No matter how beautiful she is."

Shinpachi pushed his glasses up and complained speechlessly, "Gin, weren't you just rolling on the ground, saying, 'Ah, I want to eat Miss Ruan Mei's pastries too! Her pastries look so delicious!'? Now that you see Xing has been tricked, why are you still pretending to be so vigilant?!"

"Idiot! How can that be the same? Mine was based on my pure love for snacks! And Xing was obviously just bewitched by beauty! Besides, a mature man like me won't be easily moved by simple beauty."

Shinpachi sighed, "...That's really not convincing coming from you."

"You're so nagging! Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn't be fooled so easily." Gintoki folded his arms and snorted coldly, then stole a glance at the small piece of cake left by Ruan Mei on the ceiling and muttered softly: "...But if she feeds me with her own hands, it's not impossible to be fooled occasionally..."

"You are still fascinated by Miss Ruan Mei!!"

-

"Let's do it again, shall we? Now, Xing, what else do you want to ask?" Ruan Mei's smile deepened.

"What did you give me to eat?" Just like last time, Xing didn't finish her words. Once again, her mouth lost control and she uttered something completely irrelevant: "The snacks were delicious. I want some more."

"(Why? Can't I say what I want to say?)"

"You're a greedy kid. Okay, I'll tell you the recipe." Ruan Mei extended a hand to Xiangxing, inviting her, "Come for a walk with me. After a delicious snack, a walk is the perfect way to unwind."

"Xing followed Ruan Mei through the noisy crowd. Her figure seemed particularly thin on the bustling platform."

Finally, they reached a quiet corridor. As the clamor faded away, she finally stopped and turned to look at Xing. "Xing, don't be nervous. I'm not hostile. I didn't attack your speech center; that would have been rude... I just added a little spice."

"A few days ago, I hinted to the Black Tower that I was interested in you. I wanted you to be my assistant, and you were the most suitable candidate. I was convinced of this during our few interactions in the simulated universe."

She shook her head again. "But there's no such thing as an impenetrable wall. I find it hard to trust anyone other than myself. Even a single error in the data in a rigorous study can create problems. I hate problems that are out of my control."

“So, I added truth serum to this pastry. It’s harmless to your body, but it will prevent you from telling your true thoughts when answering questions related to me.”

Chapter 294: Ordinary and the Crown of God (Part 2)

Is it wrong to seek encounters in a dungeon?

"Drugging on the first meeting!?"

While Veritaserum wasn't harmful, it was a shame to do something like this on her first meeting with her beloved assistant! Or was it that she couldn't keep up with the genius's train of thought?

Hestia leaped onto Bell's back and solemnly emphasized, "This kind of beautiful older sister is the most terrifying! Bell-kun must take this as a warning! Never eat food given by a strange woman! Never eat food given by a strange woman!"

Feeling the heavy pressure from behind, Bell blushed and took a step away from the Lord God: "Lord God, don't worry, I don't usually eat anything given by others..."

"Don't think I'm nagging, Bell-kun."

Hestia put on the tone of someone who had experienced it. "That Miss Ruan Mei looks so gentle, but her actions are even more daring than Ms. Heita's... You really can't judge a person by their appearance. Even someone as familiar as Kafka and Himeko wouldn't do something like this to Xing, right?"

"Speaking of which, Mr. Bell, do you think Miss Ruan Mei is pretty? How does she compare to me—"

Before she uttered the last word "呢", Hestia noticed that Bell's eyes were fixed on the sky, and it was obvious who he was looking at.

"——Bei, Bell-kun!"

Hestia suddenly became jealous, and her dissatisfied "hum" echoed throughout the basement of the church. She flew over and pounced on Bell, covering his eyes tightly with her hands.

"Well, what's so good about that kind of woman? No matter how long you stare at her, she won't respond to you! You should pay more attention to the person in front of you!"

-

"Think of it as a layer of protection, protecting my research and your personal safety. Once those problems are resolved, I will give you the antidote." Ruan Mei smiled gently. "In return for being my assistant, I can give you a reward. I can satisfy any request you have."

"She raised her eyes, and there was a certain seriousness in them that was unique to researchers. She didn't seem to be joking."

"Xing put one hand on her hip, her chest heaving slightly with suppressed anger."

“…I’m still very angry.”

"But Ruan Mei's expression was like a still lake, not stirring a single ripple. She simply added calmly, "I can give you even more rewards."

-

Chainsaw Man.

"Hey, Pava! Do you hear me?"

Denci suddenly jumped up from the sofa, pointing at Ruan Mei on the screen and exclaiming excitedly, "She said 'any request can be met', so doesn't that mean she can be my girlfriend?"

"Huh? Denci, are you an idiot?" Pava was secretly eating Hayakawa Aki's hamburger patties. Hearing this, she wanted to stuff the two remaining slices of bread into Denci's mouth. "What's so good about this kind of woman? You can tell at a glance that she'd trick you into a lab and use you as a slicer!"

"But, she speaks so sweetly and is beautiful! She can even make pastries! If I could have her as my girlfriend, maybe I could taste her homemade pastries every day when I get home from get off work!"

"Even if you asked for something like that, he wouldn't take you seriously as a boyfriend, would he?"

Pava shrugged and lowered his voice seriously. "Even if she reluctantly agreed to your request, the only condition for her kissing you is that you accompany her in a live experiment... and then transform you into a bug! Doesn't she want to become a Star God? You might just be the stepping stone on her path to godhood~"

"Ruan Mei said that she had previously borrowed another genius' creation, the [Phase Spirit Fire], from the Black Tower, hoping to gain some inspiration from the other members' research results."

"She did indeed have an inspiration, and she conducted a series of life-cultivation experiments on the space station. Her original plan was to cultivate a new type of life that was born a 'genius', and she even named them after Ram, the 8th member of the Genius Club... But the results were distorted. The creatures possessed consciousness, but it had nothing to do with genius."

"While she was nurturing these 'little creatures', a few have escaped and are now hiding in the space station. She wants to ask Xing to find them and find a place to house them."

"But this is the only thing she doesn't want Black Tower and Ester to get involved in. The more people know, the more troublesome it will become, so she wants to entrust it to Xing alone."

"Xing went to the Jiezhongke Department to inquire and found out that the space station has been in chaos recently. Not only do they have to entertain important people, but some small monsters have also appeared out of nowhere."

"According to the reminder from the World Species Department, Xing arrived at the containment section. Quite a few people have gathered here, all discussing the new arrival, Ruan Mei."

"Everyone here has great respect for Ruan Mei, but they're somewhat critical of her taking over the station upon arrival. Madam Black Tower, on the other hand, completely lets it go..."

"Ms. Black Tower is just indulging Ruan Mei," Xing was about to comment, but instead, he said, "Hey, here comes the Galaxy Batman!"

"Looking at the bewildered expression of the clerk beside him, Xing dug his toes into the ground in embarrassment and withdrew from the discussion in shame."

"She realized that any speech involving the words 'Ruan Mei' would automatically transform into something else. After Xing conducted another experiment with two other people, she became even more convinced of this idea."

-

Psychic 100%.

Linghuan Xinlong stroked his chin, his eyes fixed on Tianmu Zhongxing, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and suddenly said, "Longtao, isn't this very similar to the scene when Suiyang was possessed?"

Kageyama Shigeo, who was wiping the table, paused and asked, "Master, are you referring to Fuyan?"

"Look—" Ling Xuan gestured with his fingers, "that 'Anti-Veritaserine' is like a sealing spell, prohibiting anything involving the name Ruan Mei, while Sui Yang's control is compulsory—" He grabbed two chopsticks and crossed them, "What happens when 'can't say' meets 'must say'?"

The extra was thinking hard when he suddenly saw the exposed wires on the wall behind his master. An idea struck him: "Will it be... like a short circuit? Fainting?"

"Bingo!"

Ling Huan snapped his fingers. "I think there will definitely be a repulsive force. Either he will faint under the effect of the potion, or the potion's effect will be forcibly diluted and neutralized by Sui Yang. It's even possible that his personality will be torn apart..."

Chapter 295: Ordinary and the Crown of God (Part 3)

"After asking several staff members, Xing learned that there was a person named 'Cheese Lava Heart' who was extremely influential among the staff members."

"He is Ms. Ruan Mei's number one follower, and has gathered a large number of people in his space who respect and love her. Moreover, this "master" cannot be seen just by wanting to see her. Only with a pious heart and by plastering "love" all over the places Ms. Ruan Mei has passed by will this master be willing to appear."

"Although it feels a bit perverted, this elusive 'Cheese Heart' has indeed piqued Xing's interest. After plastering hearts all over a corner where Ruan Mei had walked, Xing actually sensed movement behind her."

"She turned around and saw an unidentified creature shaped like a siomai jumping onto the table, making a cute 'woof woof woof' sound."

"Uh... this guy..." Xing was a little confused for a moment, "Is this the little life that Ruan Mei nurtured?"

"A clerk appeared out of nowhere beside her and bowed respectfully to Shaomai: 'Meet the Cheese Lava Heart!'"

"star:"?""

"The officer noticed Xing still standing there, completely dazed, showing no sign of respect. He quickly urged, 'You! What are you still standing there for? Oh, you don't understand what we're saying? No problem, we've specially configured a synesthesia beacon for this situation!'"

After activating a special synesthesia beacon, Xing truly understood Shaomai's language. He jumped up and down, proud and excited: "Wakakaka—I'm a genius, a genius among geniuses!"

Fullmetal Alchemist.

"How did she do that? Her creations not only possess souls, but also intelligence..."

Edward looked at the "Shaomai" in the sky in disbelief. This little life was definitely not related to "human" in the slightest, but it possessed human emotions and ways of thinking. Even with this one achievement - Miss Ruan Mei would definitely be a scholar praised by everyone on the mainland.

"Brother, 'equivalent exchange' is just the law of our alchemy. In the vast universe, perhaps they don't need to follow this principle." Alphonse on the side reminded him in time.

"I know, but life isn't just made of matter; more importantly, it's the 'soul.'" Edward pushed open the window and looked at the two pots of flowers on the windowsill. "If it were plants, I wouldn't be surprised, but the biggest difference between plants and animals is the soul. Miss Ruan Mei can create intelligent life, which means she has deconstructed the 'soul.'"

At this point, the two brothers fell silent. The wounds etched into their souls from childhood began to ache.

In order to resurrect their mother, they used human bodies to transform and gathered all the materials needed to build a human being. However, they did not realize that the weight of the soul was far beyond what they could bear. Ultimately, this incident became the source of tragedy for the two brothers.

"Brother, do you think there is a possibility?"

Alphonse suddenly asked, "Miss Ruan Mei didn't 'create' a soul for this little animal, but extracted a human soul and placed it into this little animal?"

"Impossible." Edward denied subconsciously. "What's the difference between this and the guy who used his own daughter to create a synthetic beast? Ms. Black Tower would never work with such a person on research."

"And, Alphonse... aren't you underestimating the members of the Genius Club? For this woman who wants to become a Star God, 'creating life' is probably just the least of her achievements. Look at the lack of surprise on those staff members' faces. I'm afraid they're used to it, right?"
