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

It must have been a magnificent sight, as abundant as life itself.

Ruan Mei leaned against the porthole of the bridge, gazing at the starry sky, a picture of serene beauty.

"That day will come, and it shouldn't be far off."

Lin Yi thought of Velvet from Honkai Impact 3rd. In scientific research, it is completely different to conduct research only after you know that it is feasible, compared to conducting research when the result is completely unknown.

Although he had never played Honkai Impact 3, he still had some understanding of it because of Lao Yang, a character who played Honkai Impact 3 and then Honkai Iron.

After all, the various ways they persecuted Lao Yang are well-known. I heard that Honkai Impact 3rd used imaginary numbers to fight against technology. Since they come from the same source, this world should be able to do the same.

"Could you tell me about this Earth Explosion Star project? I'm very curious."

"Actually, there's nothing I can't say, but I'm also very curious about what you were up to on the Immortal Ship. If you don't want me to know, then it would be a huge loss for me to tell you."

"I made an agreement with the Immortal Boat that I would not reveal, but I can tell you part of what it is going to retrieve, just keep the most important information to myself."

Red Spring, the waters of the Hot Sea, branches of the Jianmu tree, the marrow of the Wisdom-holding spirit, the feathers of immortality, leaves of the Fusang tree, parts of revitalized planetary tissue, and the remains of an ancient beast.

'Hiss~ This is practically dancing on the edge of the Immortal Ship's bottom line! What's the difference between this and selling powder in some country? Oh, the Immortal Ship allows it, or even gives it to us willingly? Never mind then.'

"Other things are fine, but what about the Vidyadhara Essence?"

Before she could finish speaking, Ruan Mei already understood Lin Yi's doubts.

"There are always some dirty and messy immortal ships that are inconvenient to clean up, and it would be a waste to just let them go to waste. It's your turn."

Lin Yi, his mind racing but his expression remaining calm, pondered for a moment.

"The detailed technology is complex, but the principle is very simple."

Lin Yi projected the PPT (not really).

"This is a miniature cave technology from the Immortal Ship, which can be described as 'a world in a flower, a Bodhi tree in a leaf'—of course, that's an exaggeration."

Currently, the smallest size achievable is the size of a rock, but the potential is huge. With improvements, it should theoretically be possible to miniaturize it to the size of a particle; this is the premise and the core of everything.

"Then there's the calculation technology of the Immortal Ship, especially its ability to pinpoint the coordinates of the Storm."

"Finally, there's the Xuan Guang Jian, which I improved upon from the Kan Yun Jing. Don't look at me like that; I named it that to fit the overall art style."

The key difference is that, compared to the CloudView, it has the added function of imprinting information into the cosmic microwave background radiation and accelerating its diffusion.

"so what?"

Chapter 4 The Unlucky Dragon Master

"The first step is to create a microscopic cavern with a sufficiently large internal space and a sufficiently small volume."

"The second step is to imprison a large number of abundant and wicked creatures within the cave."

"The third step is to install the Mysterious Light Mirror, connecting the ten directions of the Radiant Dharma Realm."

"The fourth step is to launch the particles at near-light speed in the form of a pulsed torrent, accompanied by jumps, and upon collision, send the message 'There are abundant evil creatures here' to the coordinates of the 'Lan' transmitted from the ten directions of the Radiant Dharma Realm."

"At the same time, in order to prevent the Ten Directions Light Reflecting the Dharma Realm from making calculation errors or the storm running too fast, there is also wide-area information engraved into the cosmic microwave background radiation, one fast and one slow, for immediate or delayed attacks."

"And so, an attack on a celestial body launched using the Star Hunting God was completed. The light arrows of the God of the Heavenly Bow will be at my disposal, striking wherever I aim."

"Don't look at me like that, okay? Isn't this an excellent plan to actively guide the Star God's actions? Before this, the Star God was uncontrollable. What a great opportunity to collect data on the Star God's actions up close."

As long as there is indeed a monstrous creature, Sha Lan won't care about being used.

After pondering for a long time, Ruan Mei gave her evaluation: "A very wonderful idea; your inspiration seems to be inexhaustible."

Ruan Mei fell silent, gazing at the stars as if deep in thought. Seeing that Ruan Mei wasn't very interested in chatting, Lin Yi didn't disturb her. He took out his journal and began to think about a few research plans for the short term and a few long-term plans that needed to be prepared for soon.

Lin Yi was well aware of his disadvantages; he lacked the knowledge reserves a true genius should possess. Therefore, he could only take an unconventional approach, playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses, thus failing to become a near-all-rounder like a genius.

So he decided to become someone who specializes in only one area, simply passing on what he didn't understand to others. As a result, he never conducted independent research, instead traveling around and "borrowing" opportunities from various places.

Without the Black Tower, he initially had no way to 'prove' the Tree Sea system through results and processes. This was like a math problem; if you didn't know it, you simply didn't know it.

He didn't contribute much to the panacea; he was more like a genius idea generator. The main force was Ruan Meiyu Qingtu.

In the simulated universe, he could only help with some odd jobs. He did most of the unavoidable negotiations and trivial, repetitive tasks that ordinary people couldn't handle or delegate to others.

Before long, they arrived at Luofu.

"I am the envoy from the Tianbo Company, here to escort you two to the port. Lord Yukong has been waiting at the ferry dock for some time," the envoy's voice came through the broadcast system.

A corner of the Xuanqiong Sky Curtain on Luofu was opened, its mechanism shifting in a series of ways to form a berth just large enough to accommodate the rainbow light. Once the rainbow light ship had entered, the berth was immediately closed.

As soon as I disembarked, I saw a huge welcoming procession, which showed that Luo Fu attached great importance to it, but it was just too complicated.

Geniuses don't appreciate elaborate etiquette; it's too time-consuming. Even the polite Scorpion was no exception.

Lin Yi couldn't help but regret making such a formal visit. If it had been less formal than before, the Immortal Ship wouldn't have had to put on such a show. Next time, he should inform them in advance and not make such a big fuss.

Yu Kong: "I am Yu Kong, the captain of the Tianbo Division of the Luofu Immortal Ship. I have come here on the orders of General Jing Yuan to welcome the arrival of the two geniuses. Now, please follow me to leave the Jade Realm Gate."

"I wonder if you two would like to go to the Shence Mansion immediately to meet with the General, or if you would like to rest for a while. The General has arranged a small, undisturbed retreat for you two geniuses to stay in temporarily."

Lin Yi: "The meeting won't take long, and I'll probably need to stay on the Immortal Ship for a while afterward. I can rest then. I just hope that the Sky-Driving Commander can arrange a guide familiar with Luofu so that I can have a good tour. Although it's not my first time here, Luofu is still too vast."

"Oh, Ruan Mei, what about you?" Lin Yi suddenly remembered, his habitual behavior causing him to overlook Ruan Mei's opinion.

Ruan Mei smiled gently: "Me too, but the guide doesn't need to." Her face never changed.

The cavalry led the way, with military officers accompanying the local officials to maintain order; they traveled in great speed and efficiency.

Lin Yi glanced at the accompanying military officers. The Ten Kings Division shouldn't be in this kind of situation. A barely perceptible glint flashed in his eyes, but he stopped paying attention.

Before even reaching the gates of the Shence Mansion, they could hear Jing Yuan's hearty laughter coming from afar.

"The presence of two geniuses has brought great honor to Luofu. I have been waiting here for a long time. Please, both of you~" Jing Yuan smiled and stepped aside.

Xiao Wei Yanqing stood a few steps to the side behind Jing Yuan.

At this moment, this proud young man who had not suffered a series of beatings looked extremely proud and full of energy.

The layout of the Shence Mansion seemed unchanged, remaining the same despite the passage of time. It was exactly the same as when Lin Yi had visited before. Stone lions, chessboards, bookshelves, all kinds of weapons, and armor.

The entire arrangement and decoration seemed to be a testament to the brilliant strategies and wisdom of this infallible general, a man of both literary and martial prowess.

The elaborate arrangement can help the host subtly build momentum and gain an advantage during conversations, but it's a pity that it lacks a bit of liveliness.

It would be more fitting if that stone lion were a real lion.

Lin Yi: "Gentlemen, you must be very busy with official duties. Why don't we put aside the formalities and begin now?"

The talks were generally pleasant, with both sides exchanging views extensively, and the talks were beneficial.

Ultimately, Marshal Xianzhou made the final decision to postpone the discussion of Earth Explosion Star.

The second phase of the Panacea project is fully supported, and all requests on board the Immortal Ship will be granted.

Zhu Mingxianzhou is willing to provide assistance, but cannot make a special trip. He can bring his space station over, or he is willing to provide all support except for practical assistance.

Lin Yi noticed a barely perceptible impatience and a hint of absent-mindedness, and during this process, the Immortal Boat crew frequently exchanged unintentional glances with Ruan Mei.

Lin Yi quickly ended the conversation and made an excuse to leave.

What have Ruan Mei and Xian Zhou been up to?

Having stepped out of the Shence Mansion, leaving the space to Ruan Mei and Xian Zhou, what they had done was none of his concern.

Everyone has their own privacy; who doesn't have some research they'd rather keep hidden?

Since Ruan Mei didn't say anything, Lin Yi wouldn't press the matter further, and vice versa.

As soon as Lin Yi stepped out of the Shence Mansion, he spotted a fox in the distance, a fox that was skilled at the head-tilt kill.

It's still quite early now. Just recently, news broke that the Star Train had restarted, and that Hiroshi-kun's invitation to Himeko to join the Genius Club had been rejected.

It's obvious at a glance that this is a fabricated history written by a fictional historian. Dr. Zun's invitation is mandatory and cannot be refused; otherwise, Stephen, this extremely socially awkward guy, would never have refused at the Genius Club.

However, Lin Yi was still quite interested in the Starry Sky Train and planned to go there as soon as Lao Yang appeared. After all, Lao Yang was also an outsider, and maybe if he arrived early he could study it.

There is also a longitudinal study on the imaginary numbers in the Void Archives.

Lin Yi delivered some equipment to the train and reached an agreement with the train crew, providing them with considerable assistance. The condition was that the equipment would remain on the train, collecting information about each stop.

From a distance, Tingyun saw Lin Yi flick his tail and twitch his ears slightly before taking small steps toward Lin Yi.

So now the question is, at this point in time, is this fox a real fox or a fake fox? Has it been switched by Huanlong?

Tingyun smiled and said, "Young Master Lin Yi, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. I am Tingyun, the ferryman of Luofu Tianbo Company and the president of Luofu Minghuo Merchant Guild. I am a native of Luofu and can be considered a local bigwig in Luofu."

"I have come here on the orders of Lord Yu Kong to receive you, young master, and to act as your guide and show you around the immortal ship."

"Would you like to try some plum blossom cakes made by Ruan Mei?" Looking at the smiling fox, Lin Yi took out the pastries he had just swiped.

Chapter 5 The Fox That Collapses Easily and the Weary General

"Eh? Then thank you very much, young master." Tingyun was a little bewildered by this unexpected change of scenery, but having seen a lot, he didn't show any unusual reaction.

Ruan Mei's pastries were really delicious, and he would always grab a plate whenever he had the chance. However, this time she had just added some additives that 'Homo sapiens' couldn't eat.

See, it's working! It fell down so easily. It's a real fox. The Yunqi soldiers nearby have already raised their weapons and are on guard around the area.

Lin Yi took out a panacea pill and fed it to her, then said to the surrounding Cloud Riders, "Don't be nervous, she'll wake up soon."

Ting Yun slowly woke up. "Hmm? What happened to me?"

Suppressing his urge to perform elaborate stunts, Lin Yi helped Tingyun up. "I'm sorry, Miss Tingyun. That dish might have contained some things that fox people can't eat. It was my mistake. Please accept this as an apology."

Lin Yi took out a retro mechanical pocket watch, a small gift from Screw Cobalt, which he had slightly modified.

"Ah? It's alright. I'm sure you didn't mean it. May I ask where you would like to go first?"

"Let's stop here for today. Miss Tingyun, please get some rest. I'm tired from the long journey and am not really fit for sightseeing."

“In that case, shall I escort you to your residence?” “No need. I always stay in the same place when I come to Luofu, so I remember the way.”

After politely declining Tingyun's offer, Lin Yi left alone, ignoring the eyes that were secretly watching him, and headed in a completely unrelated direction to his residence.

Yu Kong held the new profile of Lin Yi's personality in his hand, preparing to file it. This was not the first time he had done this. Every time he came, Xian Zhou would not miss this great opportunity to get up close.

“Well done, Tingyun. But now you should go to Bailu Longnu’s place to get a checkup first, and then go to the Dan Ding Si to check the ingredients of what you just ate.”

"As for this pocket watch... let's send it to the Manufacturing Department first."

As always, Lin Yi had no intention of hiding his whereabouts from the spies on the Immortal Ship.

"These dragon masters are getting increasingly unruly. I need to inform the general to prevent them from causing trouble later," Yu Kong thought.

Identity: 85th seat in the Genius Club, a citizen of the Immortal Ship (suspected), a descendant of an ancient kingdom (suspected), and a member of the Azure Star (suspected).

Age: Under 200

Social connections: Liuguang Yiting Company (once had a fierce conflict) (friendly relationship)

Rangers (friendly) Legions (hostile)

First sighting location: Lindecano (suspected)

Personality Analysis: Contradictory; ruthless in achieving his goals while maintaining certain principles. Forgiving yet vengeful. Always repaying kindness. Conclusion: The above are merely the superficial methods he wants us to see, but perhaps this is another layer of meaning?

Hobbies: All entertainment-related: fantasy plays, novels, games, models, even a long, straight stick, but not really passionate about any of them. Conclusion: Short-lived enthusiasm (Additional note: exceptions include causing trouble for the Destructionist faction).

Those who love stunning scenery will travel far and wide because of this.

Overall assessment: Neutral and benevolent. The other party subconsciously feels close to Xianzhou, but seems to regard Xianzhou as a kind of substitute. Their actions appear unrelated on the surface, but there must be some connection inside. This connection will be the key to getting along with them.

Recommendation: Respond to goodwill, explore connections, attempt to win over potential partners, seek cooperation, and achieve a win-win situation. Also, consider following the Yepera Brotherhood, Flowing Light Memories, and Source Forest to update your psychological profile.

Lin Yi gently closed the pavilion pillar with the ring on his hand. The pillar extended into a holographic screen, which simultaneously concealed the illusion, making everything appear normal to the noisy outside world. This screen had been processed by the Chiming Clan and could be used for long-distance teleportation. Stepping inside led to the hot spring, which was formed from the eye of the hot spring sea that the Chiming brought with them to the immortal boat. It was the secret place of the Chiming Clan.

Lin Yi drove with practiced ease, clearly not a first-timer. It wasn't Lin Yi who sought out Chiming, but rather Chiming who came to him. The reason, naturally, was to treat their infertility, hoping for a panacea that could cure the Chiming clan's inability to reproduce.

However, in reality, the Immortal Ship is also extremely concerned about the dwindling population of the Wisdom-Holding One. The unconditional support for the panacea is partly out of consideration for the Wisdom-Holding One. The Immortal Ship has given everything it should and shouldn't have given. The Wisdom-Holding One's actions are completely unnecessary, and the fact that it has to be done secretly is truly speechless. However, it is their business if they want to give an extra gift. It's just a convenient trip along the way anyway.

This behavior is like a rebellious son from a past life who insisted on participating in important events in his own name, which only makes him a laughingstock.

But what Chiming gave was truly abundant: Chiming marrow, egg fluid, hot spring water, red spring water, ancient sea water, branches and roots of the Jianmu tree, blood of the Dragon Lord, the remains of the fox-man who died in the madness of the moon, the immortal boatman who had entered the demonic realm, the juvenile giant beast of the hot spring, and the living Buli people who were imprisoned tightly.

Lin Yi didn't care how they got these things; as long as they were useful to him, that was enough. He just still felt that it was torture, very torture. The Vidyadhara Dragon Master was truly torture.

Although the Immortal Ship provided them, these things should still be forbidden on the Immortal Ship, right? How did you old fogies manage to get your hands on them?

Is General Gluttony fishing again?

Without Jing Yuan's knowledge, he gained another nickname.
