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

Abundant miracles collected to the best of their ability

The commissioned company takes a handful of soil from the birthplace of the wise mother planet, which is qualified to be crowned with the title of "Cultural Revolutionary Awareness," and traces back indefinitely until it accumulates a "soil for nurturing wisdom" of standard planetary size.

The collection of genius traits —

We have collected as many genius traits as possible.

And through a certain degree of basic processing, more abstract characteristics of genius are extracted.

Experimental Procedure

The "soil that nurtures wisdom" dug from various places was added to the chaotic primordial soup inside the "cosmic bubble" in nine batches, with each batch increasing by 1.618 times. The mixture automatically dispersed into elementary particles in a high-energy environment.

Each time soil was added, the same proportion of "memories of learned scholars" was also added.

The gravitational string was repeatedly inverted and mixed using what Lin Yi jokingly called "stirring the ladle".

Accelerate the internal time flow, and let the internal time stand still for 3000 million years.

Crush the "abundant branches and leaves that have fallen beneath the light arrow" and mix them into the base of wisdom and the core of the star core.

The core of the intelligent foundation star nucleus, created by being thrown into the cosmic bubble, was maintained by the vitality of its abundant branches and leaves. This ensured that the core would not decompose due to the high-energy primordial soup.

The introduction of this core is like throwing a stone into a calm lake. In a low-mass, high-energy environment, the gravity of the core of the star causes a stellar vortex, which in turn pulls on a massive dust cloud measured in light-years.

By injecting abundant miracles and relying on gravity, the cosmic bubble continuously mixes, stirs, heats, shapes, and attempts to release energy from its interior, reducing the high-energy environment to a low-energy environment, until the dust cloud attaches to the star's core and is shaped into a celestial body full of vitality and potential for intelligence.

Investing in genius traits and awakening intelligence—

Try to apply your genius traits in ways that are different from what you usually do.

Unlike the usual single-target approach, this experiment will apply all of the genius traits at once.

Awakening the wisdom of the celestial bodies through the collision of instinctive and genius-derived intelligence.

First, the abundant branches and leaves were highly deactivated due to the hunting light arrows, and the core of the star was torn apart in the high-energy environment, resulting in the failure of the experiment.

Second, the "arrogance of genius" that comes with the characteristics of genius leads to conflict, making it impossible for this experimental celestial body to give birth to intelligence.

Third, the genius traits successfully stimulated intelligence, but there were still conflicts and frictions between them, and the celestial body gained intelligence far superior to that of ordinary people.

IV. The emergence of a new genius (an extremely low probability event).

Other expectations: Is it possible to glimpse the logic of the star gods to some extent from celestial bodies with spirits?

After a sentient celestial body gives birth to wisdom, can it embark on a destiny path and become a destiny practitioner?

Did Aha interfere with the experimental process?

Suddenly I feel that this experiment content is more suitable to be released as a side story rather than within the main storyline, as it seems somewhat disconnected from the main story.

And I almost didn't finish writing, thank goodness!

I'll try to write more tomorrow morning.

Chapter 230 The two mediocre teachers finally realized that there were problems with their teaching.

To an outsider, this manuscript summarizing an experiment doesn't look like a scientific experiment at all.

It's like alchemy, a strange magical ritual involving the collection of all sorts of symbols.

It's like a recipe, where you throw in all sorts of random things, sprinkle on all sorts of random seasonings, and finally toss and turn them into a pot of meatballs.

It's like a medieval witch adding all sorts of unknown, mysterious ingredients to a large pot of bubbling green liquid and stirring it up.

It resembles everything except a scientific experiment.

But—as the Black Tower said—mediocrities always label things they cannot understand as magic, thus masking their incompetence.

So yes, that's magic! Magic called creation.

Geniuses are all magicians and alchemists.

Perhaps one day, when they have some free time, these geniuses will get together for some obscure and difficult-to-understand magical exchanges?

A tribute to the legendary alchemist (scratch that), pastry chef (?) – Ms. Ruan Mei

Lin Yi and Hei Ta continued their back-and-forth questioning and answering, and the day quickly passed.

Quite a few problems were discovered during this period.

For example: the 'tossing' in the wok wasn't done long enough.

The wok wasn't heated enough.

With too many conflicting and mismatched seasonings, the final taste of the meatballs wasn't fully realized.

The 'seasoning chef' isn't sensitive enough.

The meatballs made by the kitchen helper were not firm enough.

Overall, Gaia is not a perfect dish.

Even so, the basic taste was still fine, the dishes were very well made, and they met expectations.

The problems we discover are only things that could have been done better from today's perspective, not things that weren't done well back then.

Lin Yi stroked his chin: "We've checked everything from beginning to end. There are some minor issues, but nothing serious. There aren't any major problems."

"In other words, Gaia itself is actually fine in every aspect. Its learning ability is normal and consistent with its level of intelligence."

Lin Yi and Ruan Mei were deep in thought.

Ruan Mei was also quite annoyed: "If the problem isn't with Gaia, then where is the reason why Gaia can't learn those basic subjects? It's really puzzling."

Just then, Gaia the Clay Man brought out two glasses of chilled plum juice and a large plate of plum blossom cakes, offering them with a fawning gesture.

Gaia o Clay Figure: "Ruan o Mei~ and Lin~ have some chilled plum juice~ I just made it~"

While Lin Yi and Ruan Mei were having a question-and-answer session, Gaia wasn't idle either. She took the initiative to grow some plum trees and made some chilled plum juice and plum blossom cakes.

Although Lin Yi and Ruan Mei taught it the 'basic subject', it didn't learn it.

But it did learn some cooking skills, after all, it had seen Ruan's pickled plum blossom cake and other desserts, and more than once.

I learned it secretly.

Cooking skills are not actually difficult, and not everyone can use 42 'magic tricks' in a row to make an amazing cake.

Inside a tower on the edge of the universe, the Black Tower sneezed, sensing someone chirping at her.

So now Gaia used the techniques she had learned from observing Ruan Mei to make some desserts.

Lin Yi and Ruan Mei accepted the chilled plum juice, and to be honest, it tasted pretty good.

After placing the plum blossom cakes on a table that had just sprouted from the ground in front of Lin Yi and Ruan Mei, Gaia appeared behind them, instantly growing three heads and six arms, and then... began to massage their backs and shoulders.

Lin Yi: "A little to the left~ Yes, that's it, Gaia is much more filial than Star Chaser~"

Ruan Mei, however, had no time to react. She offered a guess: "Darling, do you think it's because we added 'Aha's Laughter Recordings,' which caused Aha to cause some trouble that we didn't notice?"

Lin Yi gasped, "Hiss~ You know what, it's possible. That would explain it."

Instead of reflecting on whether their own parenting methods were flawed, these two geniuses are shifting the blame to Aha?

While this is partly due to Aha's terrible reputation, it's still... hilarious!

Ah-ha would laugh out loud if he knew, right?

It definitely will, right?

Lin Yi agreed, "If it really is Aha causing trouble, then there's nothing we can do. But we still need to verify it first."

Lin Yi finished his chilled plum juice, then tossed the glass aside and said seriously to Gaia, "Gaia! Ruan Mei and I will be teaching you the lessons we taught you from the beginning! This time you need to listen carefully, and ask questions immediately if you don't understand anything, understand?"

Ruan Mei also looked at Gaia Mudman with a rather serious expression.

Gaia the Clay Figure stood upright: "Understood! I will definitely work hard."

So, Lin Yi and Ruan Mei then subjected Gaia to another round of cramming education in various fields, including solar physics, solar system physics, stellar physics, stellar astronomy, planetary physics, galactic astronomy, cosmology, cosmochemistry, astrophysical evolution, radio astronomy, space astronomy, and high-energy astrophysics.

These probably only account for 1% of the basic courses Gaia needs to learn.

I just didn't expect to run into such a tough wall, so tough that Gaia would ask multiple questions with every single sentence.

Lin Yi and Ruan Mei were getting annoyed by the questions, but seeing Gaia's inquisitive and well-behaved demeanor, they couldn't bear to scold her.

So they took turns, one teaching the other to calm their minds and settle their emotions.

Another half day passed, and after Gaia asked what physics was, Lin Yi and Ruan Mei compromised.

They exchanged a glance and gave each other a slightly awkward smile.

'Didn't you teach me?'

I thought you would teach me, so I didn't.

'I thought you taught it, but it didn't ask, so I didn't teach it.'

The synesthetic beacon is truly high-tech; it's a genius scientific achievement that can even translate eye contact.

Although the current situation seemed to be one where whoever spoke first would lose, considering the awkward silence that no one was speaking, Lin Yi took the initiative to break the silence.

Lin Yi: "Perhaps... Gaia doesn't need to study these courses for now, but should instead focus on building a solid foundation and learning more basic topics and accumulating knowledge?"

Ruan Mei: "I think what you said makes a lot of sense, darling..."

Seeing that Gaia was still somewhat uneasy, Ruan Mei comforted her, "It's okay, I don't mean to blame you. Ultimately, it was our oversight that led to our misjudgment and the setting of wrong and unreasonable learning goals without taking your actual situation into account."

Seeing that neither Ruan Mei nor Lin Yi blamed it, Gaia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Very good~ The two mediocre teachers who misled students have finally realized their shortcomings.

Gaia is finally free, what a joyous occasion!

But you really can't blame Lin Yi and Ruan Mei for this; geniuses are all like that.

Chapter 231 Ruan Mei's Teacher

Ruan Mei's early education was guided by her maternal grandmother, who taught her by taking little Ruan Mei on trips and giving her a more hands-off approach.

Later, Ruan Mei's teacher, Acha, was also a genius. As the #23 of the "Genius Club," Acha was a genius specializing in the field of life engineering. His wisdom goes without saying, and he gave Ruan Mei a lot of inspiration and considerable gains.

But if a teacher is a genius, don't expect her to provide detailed instruction.

It's also thanks to Ruan Mei's own exceptional talent and genius-level abilities that she was able to learn so well and apply her knowledge to other situations.

But perhaps it was precisely because Ruan Mei was exceptionally quick-witted that she received a genius's instruction.

Otherwise, when teaching ordinary people, it would be truly difficult for them to understand each other since they are not on the same wavelength.

As for Lin Yi? Apart from the genius status and key to wisdom given to him by the learned scholar in his early years, as well as a certain degree of enhancement of his wisdom, he has become a self-taught individual.

Where would the opportunity for systematic learning come from, let alone teaching others?

In his early years, Lin Yi had nothing but the title of genius.

The basic knowledge learned on Earth is useless in the vast universe; it offers no real assistance.

Lin Yi's journey was driven not only by his awe of the vastness of the starry sky and his genuine desire to see and experience all sorts of wondrous sights and people.

Another reason was that they didn't want people to discover the true nature of the counterfeit goods, so they used the excuse of having fun to delay the time.

In those years, Lin Yi relied on an exceptionally clear and agile mind, completely different from the one he had before coming into this world.

While traveling, he secretly absorbed knowledge in a haphazard way, gaining some exposure to various fields.

After the "Divine Firmament Space City" was officially established and he stopped wandering around so much, he began to communicate with other geniuses, especially those from the Black Tower.

Lin Yi learned from a group of geniuses, becoming both their teacher and friend.

Black Tower and the others thought that Lin Yi was trying to make up for his shortcomings because he was not good at this, but little did they know that he was actually weak in every aspect and had no strengths at all.

But after more than a decade of growth, he has reached a level worthy of being called a true genius, making some progress in the field of life engineering and achieving considerable success in the study of spatial phases.

Lin Yi was still quite proud.

But...teaching others? The methods we've used to grow up are generally impossible for others to learn.

Parthia, holding the scepter, has a slim chance of winning.

Then Lin Yi had a sudden inspiration: Hey, I've got it! Let's follow the same pace as teaching Zhu Xing, that should be fine, right?

Ruan Mei: It's suitable, but a bit too complicated and redundant. The pace could be sped up.
