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

Ruan Mei's brows relaxed; she was indeed in pain, no doubt about it.

Lin Yi: "Individual activity decreases sharply, self-healing ability approaches zero, and a high-energy reaction from the inside out begins to occur."

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, the body of the wing-maker Feng Ming began to carbonize.

"Kill them—"

Lin Yi looked at Ruan Mei: "What did you put in this candy? It triggered the Honkai disease."

Ruan Mei: "Sugar, extra spicy jam, extremely bitter salt, extremely sour seasoning spores... that's about it. Now we're trying to find the lesions one by one, it shouldn't take long."

Ruan Meixiu uttered dozens of names in a low voice. The first few were barely acceptable, but the last few dozen were all random additives.

Lin Yi: "Zhu Xing, go and activate the matter converter."

There's no time to collect all that messy material; I'll just rewrite the matter based on my memory.

Lin Yi clicked his tongue in amazement: "I didn't expect Ruan Mei to bring such a big surprise as soon as you arrived."

Ruan Mei: "Unexpected gains are indeed exciting~ And regarding your question earlier—'Did you send it to Black Tower?' I sent over a box."

Inside the tower, Black Tower was wearing pajamas. It was normal for different regions to have a time difference. Black Tower stared into thought at the food box that Ruan Mei had sent and the note on the food box.

The doll had just woken up when it reported that a small wormhole had appeared outside. The food box was tightly sealed inside a protective device and fixed to a uniquely shaped insect.

It must be a new variety modified by Ruan Mei; it has a slender body and died right after emerging from the borer hole.

—Ruan Mei's note—

(Plum Blossom Seal) Recently inspired by Lin Yi, I have cultivated a new type of woodworm that can bore through space and guide the borer hole. This one is a relatively successful sample, so I will try to experiment with it.

Also, have it deliver the newly prepared snacks along with it.

This time, I can improve based on your suggestions from last time. The spring pancakes are cooked a bit more, the summer cakes are more refreshing, the autumn pastries are crispier, and the winter sugar is sweetened with a little salt.

Give it a try! I look forward to your feedback – Ah Ruan~ (Plum Blossom Seal)

Black Tower ultimately made the same decision as Lin Yi: trusting his own judgment and respecting Ruan Mei's achievements—taking someone else's pain as a shield.

She first took one item from each and kept it, then closed the food box and handed it to doll number 13746 next to her.

Black Tower: "Tell Estelle that these are desserts made by Ruan Mei herself. They are exceptionally delicious and you must try them."

"The first mirror will warp this doll and this box of pastries to the Black Tower Space Station on Azure Star."

It's sad that even geniuses have become worthless.

It's hard to imagine how happy Estádio must have been to receive the pastries made by Nguyen Mai from this Black Tower lady, and how her idol filter would shatter after she tasted them herself.

Leaving aside the tragic fate that Estella was about to face, Lin Yi and Ruan Mei underwent dozens of separate verifications, and Zhu Xing left halfway through.

The sample size of the wing-makers in Shenxiao Space City is not large, so some need to be reserved for later use. Therefore, other people from Fengrao City were also used for experiments.

With Ruan Mei's arrival, Lin Yi's life became much easier. He has now specifically isolated three different sets of gene fragments from the Primal Collapse Disease.

A single fragment can cause the complete collapse of the gene chain, causing the body of an organic being to disintegrate into a pool of cell-rich tissue fluid.

However, tests showed that the damage inflicted on the Plenty people was not very effective. Furthermore, the mortality rate was negatively correlated with the Plenty people's self-healing ability.

The abundant resources and extremely high self-healing ability of the people can even offset the speed of collapse in extreme cases.

Fox-people from the White Wolf pack are almost always killed, and wing-makers can lose their mobility and die within a short time.

For those who are separated from their bodies, this only affects their combat effectiveness and does not kill them immediately. Normal cells continuously replicate themselves to restore the body, while the diseased genes also continuously replicate, infecting and spreading throughout the body.

It's too slow to kill a person who is out of control when it takes about one system.

Another type of fragment can greatly amplify the metabolic rate of biological cells in a short period of time, forcing cell tissues to initiate extremely high energy responses.

This reaction will continue to intensify until it drains the organism of its organic matter.

At the same time, the heat radiation from the inside out will scorch every most basic unit of life. It's like putting an organic life form in a large microwave oven, except that the microwave oven comes from the organism itself, and every cell can become a miniature microwave oven.

This is also a manifestation of the pathological changes in the wing-maker that was just carbonized.

This characteristic indicates an extreme aversion to sugar.

The organisms affected by the third type of fragment will not suffer much damage, but will frantically attack all surrounding organisms to plunder organic matter.

It is often accompanied by bodily changes and thrombi caused by the opening and blockage of new blood vessels, such as the growth of extra wings and fangs, a transformation towards greater aggression, and purple vascular patterns caused by blood stasis.

Lin Yi favored the second option, which involved direct carbonization from the inside out, resulting in a death that was beyond any possibility of annihilation, and also eliminated the need to clean up the battlefield.

Chapter 167 Star: I'm not even a month old

Not only does it eliminate the need to clean up the battlefield, but it can also suppress an individual's self-healing ability when carrying disease-causing genes, making it practically a natural gift for the people of Fengrao.

However, it is not without its drawbacks. Without external triggers, the disease course is long and the time to death is also long.

But that's all for now. There are other weapons that also need targeted calibration, and time is limited.

Gene fragments were extracted, their structure optimized, and restrictions were imposed, limiting their infection to only a few currently included species of Abundance.

The most difficult step is to limit its targeted killing of a few species of abundant creatures without harming other organisms.

For example, Lin Yi and Ruan Mei spent a long time trying to find a way to effectively distinguish between the White Wolf Hunting Pack and the Fox People.

Lin Yi didn't want to waste any more time on these trivial details.

After temporarily naming this version "Initial Version of the Weapon of Abundance Suppression Type I", Lin Yi left, leaving the rest to Ruan Mei.

If Ruan Mei is interested, she can continue her research; if not, she can go and see the giant tree planted by the pharmacist in the "Garden of Life".

Danheng has also woken up and has finally mentally prepared himself to return to Luofu.

When Dan Heng first woke up, the commotion was quite loud, with water dragons meandering and black lotuses under his feet.

A system before —

A dragon's roar came from the seabed, and as the waves surged, water dragons rose and fell.

Then, accompanied by a high-pitched dragon roar, a giant azure dragon rose up from the mist and soared into the sky, accompanied by a series of water dragons.

March 7th: "Wow! What a huge snake! Is that Danheng?"

Walter Yang: "That's a dragon. Dragons have a hundred forms. Since Danheng is a member of the Vidyadhara clan and was a Vidyadhara Dragon Lord in his previous life, this should be his dragon form. His transformation should have been successful."

Zhu Xing took a bite of her lollipop. Although she hadn't done a detailed examination, her years of experience following Lin Yi gave her a broad and insightful perspective. She sensed that the abundant aura was a bit too strong, not fully integrated with Dan Heng and still somewhat detached. It seemed to be lacking a certain catalyst.

To complete the Dragon Lord's legacy, external forces alone are not enough; internal factors are also needed, including Dan Heng's own will and the will of immortality.

Dan Heng flew through the air, his scales and claws flying, and then let out a high-pitched and joyful dragon roar.

It's like the body's instinctive release after suppressing its emotions for a long time.

Lord Luofu Dragon Lord Drinking the Moon – the one who commands rain and wind, and wields the power of the Azure Dragon.

Then, Danheng's dragon body turned into specks of light and disappeared, reforming into a human form, transforming into a majestic figure with dragon horns on its head, a dragon tail behind its back, and black lotus feet.

"Himeko, Mr. Walter, and also March, Hoshi, and Sora. I'm back."

March 7: "You, are you still Danheng? You've become so...handsome! You're so different from the Danheng I know."

Dan Heng raised his hand and used the Cloud Chant Mirage Technique to transform into his previous appearance: "Don't worry, I am still Dan Heng. It's just that... after the Dragon Lord's inheritance was completed, that horned and tailed form was my true appearance. Now I'm using the Cloud Chant Technique of the Wisdom Clan to conceal my dragon appearance."

"But no matter how my appearance changes, I am still Danheng."

March 7: "Why did you deliberately cover up Danheng? Danheng with horns and a tail looks much better than he does now~ Don't you think so, Qiong?"

Qiong snapped photos: "Congratulations, Danheng, you are now a complete dragon."

March 7th: "What's this meme all about?"

March had gotten used to Qiong and Xing occasionally saying things that were completely incomprehensible to her.

Xing quietly crept up behind Dan Heng and mischievously poked the spot on Dan Heng's forehead where the horns had appeared.

Dan Heng helplessly grabbed Xing's hand: "The horn is real."

Himeko clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention: "In any case, it's a good thing that Danheng has been reborn. To celebrate, I specially brewed a pot of coffee with the newly developed coffee powder."

March 7: "Ah! Sister Himeko, let's just forget about it~ Don't let Danheng turn into an egg again."

Of course, it's mostly for her own life. Danheng can turn back into an egg, but what about her? She can't possibly turn into a beautiful but freezing block of ice again, can she?

Danheng noticed Zhuxing next to him, who was adjusting a strange machine with a lollipop in his mouth.

Dan Heng: "And who is this?"

"My name is Zhu Xing, a student of my teacher. My teacher is the master of 'Shenxiao Space City'." Out of politeness, and also because he had to get down to business, Zhu Xing took the lollipop out of his mouth and put it away.

Actually, Dan Heng knew who Zhu Xing was without even hearing the last sentence. Having dealt with think tanks for many years, how could he not know this famous genius student and assistant (Niu Ma)?

Despite her young age, Zhu Xing is one of the holders of the Transcendental Crown, symbolizing the elite of the world's wisdom.

At least from the perspective of ordinary people, in terms of intelligence alone, he is already at the same level as Latio.

Whether the Bo Shi Society inflated its credentials because of Lin Yi is unknown, but Lin Yi certainly didn't provide any assistance to Zhu Xing for this insignificant symbol of status.

A genius student is far rarer than any so-called "returning laurel wreath".

The most intelligent galaxy, recognized by the "Society of Broad Knowledge," can be crowned with the Transcendental Crown and qualify for membership in the House of Representatives. However, there are countless galaxies in the universe, and the prestige of the Transcendental Crown varies between different galaxies.

Dan Heng: "So you are Miss Zhu Xing, nice to meet you."

Xinghe and Qiong whispered to each other, "Who is that child? Could she be an old witch like Black Tower? Why do I feel like Uncle Yang, Ji Zi, and Dan Heng treat her very seriously and not like a child?"

Qiong shook her head: "I don't know either."

Xingchuochuoqiong: "Weren't you on your second playthrough? How come you don't know anything? Did you waste your time?"

Qiong rolled her eyes: "My world doesn't even have this 'Divine Firmament Space City' or her. I went straight to Belloborg after passing the Black Tower Space Station. Everything's a mess now, and I don't know much more than you do."

Xing: "So all your cheat codes in the second playthrough were for nothing? And you even stole my baseball bat!"

Xing knew perfectly well that the reason the baseball bat was so attractive to her was because it was originally her destined weapon.

Qiong shook her head: "It's different. Now, both the baseball bat and your gun are better than all the weapons I got over the past two years."

Xing and Qiong were still whispering loudly. Zhu Xing glanced at them and said, "I can hear you."

Then, Zhu Xing looked at the other people on the Starry Sky Train: "Do they always whisper like this?"

In March, Danheng nodded.

Zhu Xing put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm only 12 this year, not an old hag!"

(I'm still unsure about Zhu Xing's age, but based on her description, she should be around this age range, right?)

Qiong, hands on hips, exclaimed, "I'm two years old!"

Xing crossed her arms and smiled dismissively: "I'm not even a month old."

Qiong: "Your age is six times mine!"

Xing: "My age is 144 times mine!"

Star & Dome: "Compared to us, they're just old hags~"

In Chapter Two, my throat felt dry and sore, and I wasn't feeling well, but I tried my best.

Chapter 168 Chasing Stars: General Jingyuan asked me to pass on a message

March sighed, "Can age really be calculated like that? If I do, I'll become an old hag too."

Zhu Xing chuckled, amused by Xing and Qiong's behavior: "Just as the teacher said, they have the beginnings of human form and some understanding of human nature." Originally, Zhu Xing had been wondering just how abstract these two were, after the teacher had said they were very abstract.

Now we're starting to see some signs.

Zhu Xing secretly recorded the audio, or rather, Zhu Xing's recording was never turned off.

Xing and Qiong said the Black Tower was the old witch's doing, and they could use it to stir things up later. Zhu Xing chuckled inwardly, thinking, "Don't you know whose disciple you are? This is called the student surpassing the master."

Zhu Xing's mind raced, but his expression remained unchanged: "If you're curious about me, you can search me online, but right now—"

"Let's get down to business first. Mr. Danheng, please lie down. My teacher asked me to record some data." Zhu Xing reached out and patted the large machine on the ground.

Upon seeing this machine, Dan Heng couldn't help but think of the blow Lin Yi had delivered to his forehead. He subconsciously touched his head, realizing how much of a psychological trauma it had caused the child.

It was supposed to be data processing, but it was really just recording things and writing down Zhu Xing's own opinions, just like an assignment, for Lin Yi to approve later.

Lin Yi has already taken care of the major issues. Zhu Xing can handle the minor ones himself, but it will take time, and Sister Hua is still waiting for her.

Yes, in such a short time at the Immortal Ship, Zhu Xing has already gained another older sister, and she's none other than Hua, the old (X) Immortal Ship Marshal whose physical age is unknown.
