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

Even star hunters and extinction scholars can play around with stars and black holes, let alone geniuses.

Qiong looked somewhat dejected: "Damn it~ Did I really think my journey as the Galaxy Baseball Man would end here...?"

Sure enough, it's late again. No need to wait until dawn.

I'd also like some feedback: is the current pace any better than before, or is it still about the same?

Chapter 208 Ball Battle~

Qiong said sincerely, "Ah Xing~ At this last moment, I want to apologize to you~ I stole the bat that should have belonged to you, and I also stole the title of Galaxy Bat Man."

Xing patted Qiong on the shoulder: "Qiong, it's okay. Isn't the rock spear I have much better than the baseball bat we had at the beginning? It's worth it to trade a baseball bat for a partner on the road to pioneering."

Qiong Yi sighed: "Sigh~ I wonder how Dan Heng, whom I know, is doing? Is he doing well in developing Onfaros?"

“Last night I dreamed that he was holding me, kneeling on the ground, crying very sadly.”

At that moment, Qiong suddenly missed Danheng.

Although there are train crews here, they are ultimately different from one's real companions.

Ruan Mei chuckled at the two little ones' dejected looks: "I really didn't expect that you, Miss Xing, would have such a deep understanding of pioneering so soon after boarding the Starry Sky Train."

"There are still two little ones left, so cheer up! When I said there's no way, I only meant there's no shortcut."

Ruan Mei: "Thank you both for your hard work. You can rest for a bit, and collect your payment from Lin Yi later."

"After all, you've contributed to his efforts in building his territory. As for the rest... leave it to me. I've said it before, I'll cover for you."

Xing and Qiong instantly perked up and exchanged a glance.

One is less than a month old and the other is just two years old. What bad intentions could two children have? They believed everything Ruan Mei said.

Xing suddenly reached out to Qiong: "Give me back the baseball bat. You said it yourself, it was originally mine."

Qiong: "No way~ I never said that~"

Star: "Recording"

Qiong looked on incredulously: "You were recording that scene???"

Xing, hands on her hips, looked smug: "Didn't expect that, did you?"

Qiong: "Alright~ Even if I said it, and you said it too—trading a baseball bat for a partner on the road to pioneering is worth it."

Qiong crossed her arms: "So—I'm not paying it back!"

Ruan Mei ignored the playful Xing Qiong.

Where the stellar remains awaken, spring is branded; in the desolate mortal world, the spirit of the stars is awakened.

Faced with the oppressive feeling of the falling star, Ruan Mei simply sighed softly, and then tossed the jade ring in her hand once more.

If there's no way to take shortcuts, then let's face it head-on.

Unlike the previous calm and uneventful period.

The gravitational field that had finally stabilized was disrupted once again.

First came the mountain peaks, then the rocky ridges, followed by towering buildings and open fields, lakes and seas.

In a short while, a massive planet emerged from the void, and its appearance shook the falling celestial star.

Gaia was initially confused upon its appearance, but quickly understood the situation and then coordinated to interfere with the celestial gravity directed at Ruan Mei and the other three.

Xing: "What is this thing?!"

Qiong: "Ruan Mei, you still carry such a terrifying thing with you? It scared me. The feeling of being torn apart by gravity just now was almost the same as Uncle Yang's black hole."

Xing's focus was different: "Did you get through Uncle Yang's black hole?"

Qiong rolled her eyes: "No."

With Xing as a straightforward point of reference, Qiong finally understood how others viewed him.

Am I really that abstract?

Gaia managed to force a simple, honest expression onto the ground facing Ruan Mei.

(Refer to Ruan Mei's PV)

The water in the ocean gathered into an arm-like shape, waving to Ruan Mei.

Gaia: "Hi~ Ruan...Mei...you...hello... ●﹏●"

Gaia's voice was so powerful it hurt, and he spoke rather slowly.

Ruan Mei, with a tearful yet hesitant expression, said, "Gaia~ I didn't want to call you out, but... I'm leaving that guy to you."

She looks just like Lin Daiyu.

If Lin Yi or Black Tower saw this, they would definitely exclaim, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You're not Ruan Mei! Who are you?"

However, after facing His shadow in childhood, Nguyen Mai has lost most of her normal emotional expression.

Always so indifferent and aloof.

Most of the outward emotions we usually express are for the sake of social convenience.

Fortunately, among the few emotions they have, holding grudges and being petty are still among them.

Gaia's body trembled.

Gaia: "Give...it...to...me???"

Gaia's expression shifted to one of glaring anger: "Don't...bully...Ruan...Mei!??(◣д◢)?"

Gaia used the most primitive method—collision.

A ball battle ensued.

After a tremendous roar, accompanied by a cloud of dust from the collision, the illusory molten lava celestial body shattered into pieces, and was then torn into fragments by the high-intensity gravitational field and magnetic storm actively activated by Gaia.

Gaia's surface also showed dents and some cracks due to the impact.

However, these injuries healed completely in no time.

Even the damaged flowers, plants, and trees grew back under Gaia's deliberate control.

Because Ruan Mei doesn't like bare skin~

As Ruan Mei's creation, Gaia was as affectionate and pleasing to Ruan Mei as a cat.

After the Heavenly Star shattered, Huanlong let out a painful cry, as he split off a part of his body in order to reunite the Heavenly Star.

This part is different from the third of the Immortal Boat; it was not completely isolated. The destruction of the Heavenly Star into dust was also a collateral injury to Huanlong.

It was also visible to the naked eye that a tiny, faint flame from the embers of the celestial star merged into the illusory body.

Gaia slowly and deliberately emphasized, "Hmph...not...bear...a...single...strike. →_→"

Ruan Mei first smiled gently, "Very impressive, Gaia~". Then her expression immediately changed, "However, it seems you didn't pay attention in class, and you didn't practice your homework properly either~"

Ruan Mei: "Do you remember what I taught you? Your life form is special. Even the slightest emotional change will react to the outside world with strong winds and rain and snow."

"You seem to have completely forgotten what you were taught in class, otherwise why would you use such a brutal collision that would hurt the enemy a thousand while also injuring yourself eight hundred?"

Gaia looked aggrieved: "Ruan...Mei...I'm sorry...Lin...Yi...taught...it was...too...difficult...I...didn't...learn it. ( ?_? )?"

Ruan Mei frowned slightly; this shouldn't be the case.

It accumulates geothermal heat and pressure, fuses and refines its own metallic minerals, then erupts and launches them, further accelerated by the planet's magnetic field.

This is one of the combat methods Lin Yi designed for Gaia, intended as an initial course. The principles are very simple, and it was originally just intended for Gaia to practice as a transition.

With Gaia's abilities, she shouldn't be unable to learn it.

Ruan Mei personally tested Gaia, and it was undeniable that it had embarked on the path of intellect. Its level of wisdom was also comparable to that of a typical bachelor in the Academy of Knowledge.

The image of the living planet is included in the author's notes.

Chapter 209 Abundant People in the Same Cage

Their control over their own bodies is unparalleled. After all, Lin Yi and Ruan Mei's initial collaboration was aimed at creating an ideal dwelling place in this world.

Gaia can even precisely control the subtle chemical reactions and material flow within her body; this level of control is already astonishing.

The fact that the restoration was completed in an instant, with vegetation growing back and flowers blooming, is a testament to this control.

If there's nothing wrong with your intelligence and your body control, how come you can't even learn such a simple basic subject?

It seems there's still some detail we haven't noticed. We need to discuss it with Lin Yi.

Is it because this kind of life form is inherently too powerful, and thus is subject to the invisible balancing act?

Ruan Mei thought of a point Lin Yi had made before—that there is no perfect immortality in this universe, and all beings have some flaws, whether innate or acquired.

Lin Yi once suggested that it was possible that the immortals themselves had disrupted the balance to some extent.

This is a normal conjecture and question; geniuses raise countless such ideas every year, and there are quite a few people among the immortal race who share this idea.

That's one of the more reasonable explanations now.

After all, this newly born race is too blessed by nature.

Ruan Mei's mind was racing, her inspirations colliding and swirling. However, on the surface, she comforted the aggrieved Gaia: "Oh, I was wrong about you. I apologize, everyone. But it's really strange that you can't learn it. How about this, I'll give you another thorough check later."

Ruan Mei considered everything, but there was one aspect she didn't consider...

That is—is it possible that geniuses aren't omnipotent—especially in education, where geniuses are genuinely not good at it?

Those who can truly absorb the lectures of a genius and ultimately gain something from them are few and far between.

Not everyone is a star chaser like this.

The teaching methods of geniuses are not suitable for everyone.

For example, the "Genius Club" #77 puzzle, which was made in an attempt to contribute to the education industry, suffered a dismal sales failure due to its simple educational toys for children.

It is obvious that the understanding of simplicity by geniuses is very different from that of ordinary people, yet geniuses are unaware of this.

The complex spatial structure, which even PhDs struggle to comprehend, is clearly not something ordinary children can play with. This unique design suffered a disastrous sales slump, with only a small number of intellectuals and wealthy individuals purchasing it for collection.

There were only four players on the field when Lin Yi was teaching Gaia.

Lin Yi had no prior knowledge of Gaia, so he deliberately broke it down and explained it in great detail, believing that his explanation was very basic and clear.

Ruan Mei listened and felt that the explanation was very clear, with no problems, and was even a bit too verbose.

Listening to what was happening, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Good heavens! The teacher actually explained it so clearly! That's truly remarkable!"

Chasing Stars: I can barely understand a little bit, geniuses are truly freaks.

Bystander: "Beep~"

Great! Now, please adopt Gaia's perspective: You're four years old now—time to go to kindergarten.

You hear that the person teaching the class is a famous academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. You don't know what this means, but you go to school with great excitement.

The first class is math, and your classmate and deskmate say it's very easy—and you believe them.

The teacher is starting class. Let's begin with a simple math problem—

There is a large mixed-use prison cell in the Immortal Boat Prison, which holds a number of prisoners from the bountiful people.

The immortals who illegally use the Free Manifestation have four arms, two hearts, and a pair of wings.

The Buli man has five lung lobes and one tail.

The Huiyan has four hooves and one tail.

The fox-person has a tail.

Ordinary wing-makers have two wings, while those of the Celestial wing-makers have four wings.

The Puppet Demon has one tail and three eyes.

The visual organ has five eyes but no other organs.

Assume that all information not mentioned in the question stem is identical to that of normal humans. There are now a total of—

Q: How many of each of the above types of abundant people are there?

You: Huh? Isn't math about 1+1 equaling what?
