Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

I'm afraid it's not just Ruan Mei, or maybe they've been preparing for this for a long time.

For example, someone like Lin Yi might suddenly appear.

"Shenxiao Space City" is Lin Yi's base of operations, so it's highly likely. If it actually shows up, that would be troublesome.

At this moment, Ruan Mei smiled, breaking the deadlock and interrupting Huanlong's attempt to test the waters.

Faced with the arrival of Huanlong, this uninvited guest, Ruan Mei didn't seem nervous at all: "I can see you're confused and doubtful. How about we play a little game?"

"I can answer your questions and dispel your doubts, and in exchange, you must answer mine. One question for one question, it's fair, want to give it a try?"

"Fair my ass," Huanlong cursed inwardly. She was still essentially cheating, and the delay was inherently disadvantageous to her.

Huanlong remained calm: "Alright, first question—you! Why are you here?"

Ruan Mei pondered for a moment: "Well, Lin Yi encountered a little trouble, and since he was a bit lazy, he called me over to help. Out of my interest in this bountiful miracle, I'm studying it here."

What I said was the truth, but—

Ruan Mei expressed: A minor trouble—the collapse disease;

Lazy—I don't want to do my homework today, I'll just copy it.

Huanlong's understanding: Minor trouble—Huanlong;

Laziness—disdain, indifference.

Huanlong: "Heh~ Genius. How arrogant."

Ruan Mei smiled and dismissed it: "Did you come for the miracle of abundance?"

"Suiyang's reputation in the Immortal Ship's records isn't very good. To be on the safe side, my questions will be very simple, and you only need to answer: yes or no."

Chapter Two: Daytime

Huanlong has such a knack for getting gold cards every time she draws them!

Chapter 203 Ruan Mei's Portable Laboratory

Huanlong couldn't help but curse those who had ruined Suiyang's reputation in the past. If those old fogies hadn't overdrawn their credit, it wouldn't be so difficult for them to deceive people now.

Huanlong: "Yes. It's that simple~ You wasted a question."

Ruan Mei: "It's not a waste. The simpler the problem, the more information it actually contains. Just like the simpler the research, the harder it is to improve."

Huanlong: "Heh~ Whatever. Second question, what has Lin Yi prepared for me?"

Ruan Mei said with a slight puzzlement, "Hmm~ To be honest, I don't know. Geniuses never pry into each other's secrets. He didn't mention it to me. I was also a little surprised by your arrival, but~ based on my understanding of Lin Yi, he should already know about your arrival by now."

Ruan Mei was indeed unaware of the situation; she genuinely believed that she was only there to help out and incidentally study the miracle of abundance.

Lin Yi was confident he could handle the Abundant Alliance and the Illusionary Clouds, so he didn't ask other geniuses for help. He figured it was better to use the favors he had with geniuses for research.

Seeing that the scene was grand but not as dangerous as Polka's assassination attempt, Lin Yi was genuinely a little panicked.

His record was frightening, his methods unpredictable, and there was not a single hint before the assassination.

If Lin Yi hadn't always treated Polka Kaka as a hypothetical enemy, been highly vigilant towards her, made a lot of preparations, and had the protection of the "Star God of Preservation," that hurdle would have been truly difficult to overcome.

As for Aha? Don't put your hopes on Aha. This is a hard-earned lesson Lin Yi learned from his time with Aha.

Lin Yi's current equipment was far superior to what he had faced when facing Kakamu, so he wasn't flustered at all and even wanted to laugh a little.

Seeing that Lin Yi hadn't asked for help, the other geniuses didn't interfere, as everyone was quite busy.

Lin Yi's way of getting along with Hei Ta and the others has always been that if they need help, they should ask; if they don't, it means there's nothing wrong and they won't ask any more questions.

And perhaps it's just awkward, but Lin Yi felt that as a genius who had become a Bountiful Envoy, if he were to call upon people for this matter, he would be laughed at by the Black Tower for at least three months.

Huanlong didn't believe Ruan Mei's words at all. She didn't understand the personality of geniuses well and judged them by her own standards, thinking that these were all nonsense.

Ruan Mei, quick-witted as ever, rattled off a string of questions: "Then it's my turn~ You came for the miracle of abundance, but why did you rush straight for this giant tree~"

"The miracles of the Abundant Star God are numerous. Luofu has the Jianmu tree, Yaoqing has the Moon of Embryonic Movement, and let's not even discuss the Immortal Boat. Even though Qiongsang is dead, Bu Liren still possesses 'Lang Geng, Deputy Tan Sui Geng, Gan Cheng Mo Gou Que Nie Mei Yong Chui Mu Jue Nan Qiao Song Na Dou!!'"

"Why did you go to such lengths, choosing the difficult path over the easy one, to seize this tree in the 'Divine Firmament Space City'? And why must it be this tree and not the green vine?"

Ruan Mei seemed to be asking a question, but she spoke with certainty: "Is it because—this tree is special, or special to you? Not every bounty miracle can meet your needs, is that right?"

Huanlong remained silent, but suddenly drew closer. He wasn't afraid of just one Ruan Mei; he was gambling that Lin Yi wouldn't return so quickly.

Huanlong exploded with golden flames, expanding to an enormous size, like a celestial body pressing down on the earth: "One question for another? Heh, sorry~ you yourself said that Suiyang never keeps his word."

Ruan Mei cleared her throat: "I guessed it already. If there's another chance in the future, maybe you can try not to reveal your thoughts."

Xing used rock spears to form a dome, and Ruan Mei and herself built a shield.

Qiong held the baseball bat with extreme tension.

At this moment, Ruan Mei took off the white jade bracelet from her wrist and waved it gently.

With delicate hands, she divides the stars and cuts the light to make jade pendants.

Not long after the last trip to Yiting, Ruan Mei sent a 33-foot-long piece of light and a jade disc to "Shenxiao Space City".

She commissioned Lin Yi to create a more convenient special space device according to her needs.

Ruan Mei can handle ordinary spatial devices on her own. You should know that her "A Ruan Bag," which she made casually, has already been called a miracle by the outside world.

However, this time Ruan Mei wanted to create a large portable laboratory for the convenience of her research, which required extremely high standards in all aspects.

Therefore, just as Lin Yi didn't want to touch the "Honkai Disease," Ruan Mei also took a shortcut and entrusted this creation to Lin Yi.

Although Ruan Mei also has a main base, due to the needs of her life research, she has always been homeless, with her laboratories all over the world, but this remains unchanged.

If a huge space and a large amount of equipment could be accommodated in one place without affecting the experiment, that would be a different story.

As for the three-zhang-three light and the jade disc, they are not helpful in manufacturing equipment but make it more troublesome. However, Ruan Mei said that these two things have special significance for her.

Lin Yi shrugged and let her have her way.

The final result, of course, was that he achieved great success and received a jade ring.

It perfectly meets the requirements, including the appearance.

The moment Ruan Mei threw out the white jade bracelet, the solid veil of light dispersed, temporarily isolating the inside from the outside.

Qiong looked at the thin veil that blocked all the flames in the sky: "Is it safe?"

Ruan Mei shook her head: "No, not yet. The light gauze has its limits, and this is not protective gear specifically designed for protection. Only three zhang and three zhi of light were cut during its production, leaving a gap after the light dissipates in 33 seconds."

Qiong: "What should we do then? Should we ask for help now?"

Ruan Mei: "Asking for help is pointless. I prefer to wait, but I could send a message to Lin Yi. Although that might be unnecessary."

Abyss: 'Ruan Mei is looking for you. There's no signal here, so I used the "Metaverse" relay to reconnect.'

Lin Yi: '(o?o?)ok'

"Ruan o Mei": "Illusory.JPG."

"Ruan o Mei": Your house is in a state of chaos, come home immediately.

Lin Yi: As expected. Also—

Lin Yi: "Huanlong Gets Beaten Up.JPG."

Lin Yi: I'm busy beating up Huanlong, so I don't have time.

Lin Yi: Addicted to playing basketball~

"Ruan o Mei": ?

"Lin Yi": Huanlong should have used Suiyang's racial talent to divide himself into two parts, and mine should be 1/3.

"Ruan o Mei": So what are your plans for this half of the space city?

Lin Yi: No...

Lin Yi: Okay, I'll help you out. You just happen to be there. Let me buy some more time to play.

"Ruan Mei": ......

"Ruan Mei": Don't take too long~ unless you want to see half of your space city destroyed in a fight. I'm really not good at fighting, and the only methods I have are too noisy.

Lin Yi: "Cat cake fawning over me"

Ruan Mei could only sigh at Lin Yi's somewhat willful behavior.

Okay then, let's delay it a little.

Ruan Mei estimated that Lin Yi's physical age was no more than fifty, but his mental age was probably only around twenty or thirty.

Tonsillitis again~ I slept through the afternoon and rushed to write when I woke up. But I haven't written tomorrow's yet, no need to wait until midnight, I'll write during the day.

Chapter 204 Who Says Star Core Essence Isn't Gold?

Like the Black Tower, they're two willful big kids.

Taking advantage of this lull, Ruan Mei pondered how to minimize the losses to Space City while holding off Huanlong.

This is really troublesome.

Just then, a whimper from the cat pulled Ruan Mei back to reality.

Ruan Mei suddenly looked at Qiong and Xing with great interest, especially Qiong.

Ruan Mei: "Would you be interested in having a duel with this Great Lord of Annihilation?"

Qiong shook her head faster than an electric fan, taking two steps away from Ruan Mei. "Me, fight Huanlong? Are you kidding me? I can't even defeat an incomplete Shattered Star King Worm!"

"Don't be nervous, little one~" Ruan Mei chuckled. "There's a reason I sent you."

Ruan Mei pointed to the raging flames visible through the thin veil of light and said softly, "Do you see it? It looks scary, but it's just flames."

“Huanlong is the sun without a physical form. Even though she is the Great Lord of Annihilation, she cannot violate the fundamental laws of the universe that Lier discovered and explained.”

"Her attack methods are mainly limited to: energy attacks based on the regeneration of the destroyed golden flames into the fire of the year's sun, and mental attacks attached to superhuman mental power."

"Both are products of qualitative change after the destruction and elevation of the species Suiyang."

"But that's all there is to it. Right now, without a physical body, she can't deliver the most direct and powerful physical blows."

Ruan Mei, like an excellent game guide author, meticulously explained the mechanism of splitting the illusion in Qiong and Xing.

Ruan Mei stepped forward, her fingertips lightly tracing the baseball bat on the dome.

Ruan Mei: "Coincidentally, the wondrous object in your hand was bestowed upon you by Nanook, the 'God of Destruction.' Its main destructive power lies in the golden flames ignited by Nanook's spreading of golden blood."

"As the owner of this special and wondrous object, you can control it and those golden flames without being burned. Ordinary flames and high temperatures in the world can no longer harm you."

"After all—in terms of rank, what flame could be higher than the golden flames of Nanuk, the 'God of Destruction,' a symbol of destruction?"

This time, Nanuk unknowingly elbowed his own envoy.

Huanlong: Er Numa!

Ruan Mei: "And you happen to be highly immune to mental interference and attacks."

"In your original world, you had already traveled far enough on your destiny's path and had met with the Star God multiple times. This has given you extremely strong spiritual power."

"And do you remember the experiment you did with me at the Black Tower Space Station?"

"There are many things hidden deep within your will, the most important of which is a vast and complex free will."

"I guess it was from the pioneering work of Pinocchio in the other world you mentioned."

"With it around, Huanlong's mental attacks and interference methods are almost ineffective against you. If she wants to possess you and devour your spirit, she must first confront the shadow of the Star God in your memories."

The Star God in my memory is still the Star God; ask the Black Swan if you don't believe me.

They all remained silent after a glance.

Ruan Mei: "The illusion here is incomplete and has no physical body attached, so its methods are almost ineffective against you. The only thing left is to directly release the area-of-effect attack caused by the energy of destiny from destruction."

Ruan Mei looked back at the giant tree behind her, which seemed to have a spirit and was swaying its branches: "It just so happens that Lin Yi is very knowledgeable in this area, and I also have a lot of Lin Yi's special equipment here. Moreover, behind us is the Abundance Miracle. If we break off a branch, the boundless vitality will be enough to offset the destruction."

Qiong stroked her chin and muttered, "It's hopeless~"

Qiong, carrying a baseball bat on her shoulder, stood tall and showed no fear whatsoever: "Ruan Mei, now I understand. Huanlong is a mechanic-obsessed character, and my mechanics perfectly counter hers, plus I have special attack equipment~"

Qiong said she had never had such a wonderful start before. Thinking about the oppressive feeling she had when facing Huanlong in the Immortal Boat, and the current situation where she was the one who could overcome him, she couldn't help but laugh.

Restraint is paramount, special attacks are the gods of the day.
