Collapse Iron: After watching the simulation, they all turned to the dark side.

Ruan Mei then obediently handed over the plate:

"So, could you please finish off the remaining food, Ah Qing?"

When people are speechless, they can't help but chuckle. This little cat, Ruan, is waiting for me here.

Lu Qing could even see a clear tooth mark on the river shrimp.

However, Lu Qing didn't care about these things. Since he had promised the cat, why not give it a bigger reward?

Ruan Mei obediently handed over the chopsticks she had used, and stood aside like a lovesick woman, resting her chin on her hands and quietly watching Lu Qing eat.

[Black Tower: This scheming woman is really going all out!!]

[Hanabi: Oh, this incompetent rage~]

In a sense, this can be considered an unconventional form of kissing.

[Fireworks: Poor Lao Qing, completely manipulated by Ruan Mei.]

"Hey, I've never seen you so frugal before." Lu Qing then mimicked the gesture of a husky pointing at someone, just like in those memes.

"Saving is a good habit, isn't it?"

"I'm going to take a shower in a bit. Actually, I think showering together can save water."

Is this the divergent thinking of a genius?

Lu Qing dared not go in; if she didn't devour him in one bite, he would write Kafka's name backwards.

The sound of running water soon came from the bathroom, and Lu Qing closed her eyes slightly.

Such days are actually not bad.

From today onwards, I will begin living the life of a young master.

Lu Qing could already guess why his mother had secretly met with Ruan Mei. Only Qing Chuan knew about his girlfriend. So, you despicable leaker, even if I punched you 108 times, you still wouldn't take off my buddy's human skin mask?

[March 7th: This is clearly him getting revenge!!!]

"Time flies, and as a genius, Ruan Mei's research will naturally keep progressing."

"However, you understand that she often works so hard that she forgets to eat and sleep."

"But we still tried our best to maintain her regular lifestyle."

"Finally, a year later, her research yielded a breakthrough."

"Ah Qing, I'm missing a very important experimental consumable," she called out towards the door, while holding her jade hairpin.

"I'll go ask Xiao Wu to buy it. What's his name?"

Ruan Mei shook her head. This plant is not available for purchase. It is said that it can only be found in the Arctic ice regions.

"Is that so? Is there anything I can do?"

"You might have to come with me on a trip. It's said that the area is sparsely populated and still has traces of many wild creatures."

"Okay, I'm very strong."

As time went by, Lu Qing found that he had gradually come to understand the true meaning of life. He had been practicing what he preached about his destiny, and this was his source of confidence.

But Ruan Mei never mentioned to Lu Qing that she not only wanted her mother to recover, but also wanted her father to be brought back to life.

By analyzing the life essence provided by Lu Qing, she constantly pursued the mysteries of life, and sometimes, she would even have fleeting thoughts of dissecting Lu Qing.

But she couldn't bear to part with it.

"Aqing, are you ready? Let's go when you're ready."

"That's about it." However, in a blind spot unnoticed by Ruan Mei, a glint of extreme rationality flashed in Lu Qing's eyes.

Because that talent belonging to Ruan Mei has been successfully copied by Lu Qing, and given Aha's nature, there will definitely be a joyful achievement here.

A golden talent? It would be an injustice if there were no achievements to be made.

[Research Prodigy (Jin): His talent lives up to his name; he's a true prodigy.]

Unfortunately, it seems there won't be a chance to study life with Ruan Mei before I have to leave.

[March 7th: I really want this talent, so no one will call me stupid anymore.]

[Li Sushang: If I have this talent, will my mother stop scolding me for studying?]

[Ruan Mei: You can still complete your undergraduate, master's, and doctoral studies in three years.]

[Black Tower: It's not that slow.]

However, just before setting off, Qingchuan arrived at Lu Qing's doorstep.

"Qingzi, what's wrong? Your dark circles are so deep." He glanced at the radiant Ruan Mei beside him and seemed to understand everything.

Those despicable dogs.

"What brings you here?"

"Recently, the bountiful creatures have been rioting again. It is recommended to wait a while before going out."

"Wait a while, how long is that?"

"Based on past timeframes, it would take about ten or eight years."

What does "then" mean? It means that certain dead memories have started attacking you again.

[Fireworks: Black Tower: For example, a meteor shower thirty years from now.]

[Fireworks: Black Tower: You'll be my stationmaster for life.]

[Fireworks: Black Tower: A simulated universe to be tested for a lifetime!]

[Black Tower: You're so annoying, you know that?!]

In this simulation, Lu Qing was not a short-lived species, after all, he had grasped some of the mysteries of life.

This is a rare good thing.

Ruan Mei hesitated for a moment. Clearly, her mother couldn't afford to wait that long. The poison hadn't been completely eliminated, and it remained a thorn in her side.

"Ah Qing, please."

"Yeah, don't worry, I'm incredibly strong right now."

Chapter 47 Blizzard

"Fortunately, you spent a hundred million points of sharpness to get on board an icebreaker with Ruan Mei, a member of a scientific expedition team."

"The ship is very sturdy, and there is even a small cavalry unit stationed there."

Everyone believed it would be a pleasant and safe journey.

"However, there was a little incident in the middle. A black-clad fox-woman with her hair in a bun came to ask for her Jade Sign number."

"Ruan Mei simply took your hand, and easily deterred that wicked woman who had designs on you. Of course, the word 'wicked woman' was Ruan Mei's idea; you didn't think so."

"However, it seems that the deeper we go into the icy polar regions, the more active the abundant monsters become."

"But the massive icebreaker, like a heavy-duty transport ship, crushed over the heads of these bountiful monsters, and they too exploded into a mass of flesh and blood."

[Fireworks: Icebreaker: I didn't know, I thought they were cosplaying as speed bumps.]

[Black Swan: Blind spots, inability to brake, tell my insurance company.]

[Huang Quan: We are all trying our best to live.]

[Hanabi: Lord Hellfire: what I can say! ! ! ! 】

[Huang Quan: Why is one battle point missing?]

"But accidents always come so unexpectedly."

"The sudden blizzard caused the icebreaker to gradually sink into the mud and become unable to move."

[Ruan Mei: To clarify, icebreakers don't break through the ice directly. Instead, they press down on the ice, crushing it into powder. However, if the ice is too thick, the icebreaker becomes immobile.]

[Li Sushang: Knowledge entered my mind in a strange way.]

"At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary blizzard."

"Until time keeps passing."

"The firewood in the icebreaker gradually turned into flames in the furnace, and soon faded away."

"The supplies in the ship's hold are visibly decreasing."

"The captain of the research vessel had long since run out of ideas and often closed his eyes to pray to the star god he worshipped."

"Unfortunately, the Great Storm God never responds to the expectations of his believers; he only silently proclaims his will with his deadly arrows of light."

"Despair gradually took root in everyone's hearts."

"For a full two weeks, the blizzard not only did not stop, but intensified."

"Ah Qing, this is not normal, this is very abnormal." Ruan Mei took off her arm protectors and breathed warm air onto her frostbitten hands.

Even her fair skin was covered with frostbite.

Lu Qing felt very sorry for her and poured vitality into her, which relieved her pain a little, but it was only a drop in the ocean.

Lu Qing had very keen hearing; he could hear the cries and wails of life around him.

With the extension of his power of life, he could even overhear the thoughts of some people.

"I don't want to die! My daughter is still at home waiting for her father!!!"

"I'm still a virgin! I've never tasted a man's touch before! Waaaaah..."

"It's so...cold...I think I...saw my mother..."

Lu Qing turned her head and continued to scan everything in front of her.

An elderly man with white hair and beard lost his life in the last, cold cabin of the ship.

His final thoughts were:

"Mom, I think I see you again, just like when I was little and I was sitting on the doorframe waiting for you. Is it you who has come to take me home?"

The Star Gods have no pity for mortals, but Lu Qing will; he cannot bear to see suffering.

Clearly, given the current situation, a total wipeout is only a matter of time.

However, Lu Qing was somewhat curious about what Ruan Mei was thinking, but he didn't intend to listen. He was unwilling to use such eavesdropping methods on his partner.

"Ah Qing, am I being too selfish? I know it's dangerous right now, but I still insist on doing it my own way." Ruan Mei's eyes dimmed.

"Who knows? We just inexplicably encountered this obviously abnormal blizzard, so it's not your fault."

After saying that, the two fell silent simultaneously.

Perhaps because it was too cold, she moved closer to Lu Qing, because he was warm.

Lu Qing knew that he could no longer sit idly by and wait for his death.

Having the power to decide life and death, he was undoubtedly the only one qualified to advance through the blizzard.

So, pack some essentials and head to the source of the blizzard to find out what's going on.

However, before leaving, Lu Qing pondered a question: could he ever come back?

He didn't want her to worry because of his departure, but he had no other choice.

There's no rush.

He planned to secretly leave a letter for Ruan Mei.

At this moment, Ruan Mei had already fallen asleep by the dim firelight.

So, what should I write?

Lu Qing was momentarily lost in thought.

Finally, the ink-dipped quill brush in his hand poured out.

After a long while, Lu Qing folded the letter in front of her and placed it, along with the only small piece of osmanthus cake, in front of her chest.

Through the huge glass window, Lu Qing could see the swirling snowflakes outside.

It's very dark, but so what?
