Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

Is there such a good thing? Mr. Webmaster, Mr. Jiang Yan, I will follow you all my life!

Unfortunately, they overestimated their own existence. Stories of ancestral spirits existed only in literary works. Even in the most open-minded Yaoqing, intermarriage with short-lived spirits was rare, let alone in the more conservative and closed-off Luofu.

While the Black Tower Space Station was large, as a scientific research facility, it simply couldn't accommodate a large-scale exchange event involving thousands of people on both sides. Therefore, from the beginning, Jiang Yan and Estelle hadn't intended for these alchemists to have much contact with the station staff. According to the event schedule, these alchemists, guided by the station security department, would complete their tour of the station in batches and enjoy a banquet in the cafeteria before returning directly to the hospital ship. This didn't allow the young men any window for private communication.

However, this arrangement was likely only objected to by these restless young men. Most of the other staff, having satisfied their initial curiosity, had already turned their attention to the subsequent medical benefits. After all, even if they weren't anxious, their various parts would still act as alarm clocks, frantically reminding them of the reason they were there.

Fortunately, before the exchange ended, they saw a beautiful woman from the Chiming tribe slowly step onto the temporary podium in the reception hall and begin her speech under everyone's expectation:

"Hello everyone at the Black Tower Space Station. I'm Yu Luo, the person in charge of this exchange activity. I'm very happy to accept the invitation of Station Master Esther to come to the Black Tower Space Station to carry out this significant joint research."

"To thank Station Master Esther for her gracious invitation and everyone for their warm welcome and hospitality, please allow me to announce a piece of good news: During the joint research period, we will provide free testing and medical services to all station personnel. The first round of health checks will officially begin tomorrow, so stay tuned."

"During the last Harvest War, Ms. Black Tower provided Xianzhou with important technical support and also established a strong friendship with him."

"I hope that through this collaboration, we will also have the honor of building strong friendships with all of you here. Thank you."

Even though Ester had revealed the news in advance, Yu Luo's words still surprised all the staff.

This treatment is too good!

Originally, their biggest hope was to have the opportunity to board the medical ship so that the genius doctors of the fairy ship could take time to help them see the patients. Even a simple treatment under their guidance would be a profit!

Of course, they didn't have much confidence in this.

After all, the people of Xianzhou are here to do research, not to run a hospital. If they are so busy that they can only find time to see a few people, no one can say anything.

But what no one expected was that the people of Xianzhou were so honest and promised to provide free service to all employees without saying a word?

This treatment is too high! Anyone who spent a lot of money to go to the Immortal Boat to seek medicine would cry if they heard this, okay?

This wave, blood profit!

Due to the influence of the Black Tower's Face Fruit, the station's medical department and the Dan Ding Division had a certain degree of cooperation. They were naturally well aware of how difficult it was to hire alchemists from the Immortal Ship.

When had the Xianzhou people, known for their closed-mindedness and arrogance, ever shown such a service attitude? This must be a betrothal gift!

Seeing the pie in the sky falling right on their heads, thunderous applause erupted in the reception center square in an instant, everyone clapping their palms to show their sincerity. Even after the leader of the Chiming tribe left, the enthusiasm did not wane.

Not only that, the next day, when the staff, following the order of their departments and research groups, actually went to the mysterious medical ship for an inspection, they discovered that even their most optimistic estimates were completely child's play in the face of actual diagnosis and treatment:

"Please lie down in this machine. We will sequence your genes and repair your individual diseased genes as much as possible, so as to provide treatment and prevent diseases in advance."

In front of a large gene sequencer, a doctor calmly said to the patient in front of him:

"What? Gene sequencing? Put me down! Where do I even have the money for that?"

Although he didn't know the cost of the pills he had taken before and the special treatment methods of the fairy boat, as a researcher himself, this clerk certainly understood the cost of comprehensive gene sequencing and repair. That was an exclusive service that only the executives of the Interstellar Peace Company could enjoy, and he would never be able to earn back the money even if he worked as a clerk for a lifetime.

However, his desperate struggle was easily restrained by the powerful Doctor Zhiming with one hand, who continued calmly:

"Please rest assured that all treatments here are free of charge."

“Really free?”

"real."

"You sign a document..."

"Please feel free to receive treatment, we don't need credits!"

The same thing happened in another clinic:

"Your vision loss is due to the poor adaptability of the mechanical prosthetic eye. In subsequent diagnosis and treatment, I will use your own tissue to culture a new eyeball. After removing the prosthetic eye, I will inject neural stem cells into your eye socket and use electrical stimulation therapy to activate the compensatory mechanism. Ultimately, the new eyeball will fuse with the eye socket. With the help of medicinal pills, your vision will return to normal."

"Wait, didn't I come here to get a prosthetic eye? Who can afford this?"

"Please rest assured that all treatments here are free of charge."

"Are you crazy?"

Of course, these alchemists are not crazy. Although the Black Tower Space Station is large, it is just a scientific research institution after all. The number of "new friends" is really limited. If the quantity is not enough, they can only work on the quality and improve the purity of the data.

Therefore, whether it is genetic defects, prosthetic interference, or disease impact, in the eyes of this group of alchemists, they have become sources of interference that affect everyone's data quality.

Compared with redeeming oneself for one's crime and returning home in glory, what does the cost of a mere examination and treatment matter?

What's more, this part of the cost can be fully used to develop the key! After all, it is for the people in the space station to use. How can the stationmaster who is inseparable from Xiao Jiang refuse?

By the way...should we report this to Bai Lu, so that Lord Long Zun doesn't have to repeat his transformation and compete with the outsiders and other talented swordsmen from the immortal boat for a mate, and end up with a miserable life where he still hasn't won the match?

So after reporting to Bai Lu in their real names, everyone gave the space station staff the top treatment without hesitation, successfully giving the space station staff a huge shock.

After being hit by a giant pie falling from the sky and losing consciousness, no one joked about the "bride price" anymore. For a while now, all the space station groups and forums have been speculating about the mysterious joint research conducted by the Xianzhou people.

A betrothal gift? Are you kidding? A betrothal gift of this level is enough to be given to the webmaster's family. Whether you agree or not, how can it be worth this price?

Such unusual behavior and actions must be the result of the "joint research" that the webmaster has kept secret, which is why he is so proud of it.

What exactly are they researching that is worth such a huge investment?

It's impossible that the webmaster and Mr. Jiang Yan are planning to play the role of a pair of thieves, stealing Ms. Black Tower's rare items and escaping back to the fairy ship, or planning to steal Ms. Black Tower's doll and prepare for a large-scale reproduction!

Just as everyone was discussing this, Estelle's new announcement finally revealed the answer:

"Making the Light of Knowledge Within Reach — Notice of the Black Tower Space Station Key of Enlightenment/Key of Inspiration Press Conference"

"The Luofu Dandingsi Exchange Group and the Esther Jiang team have jointly developed an invention that will change the universe—the Key of Enlightenment/Inspiration. It will be officially launched tomorrow morning in the base compartment square."

"The Key of Inspiration will effectively guide those who have been unable to open the door to knowledge and provide users with an unstable source of inspiration during their research."

"The even more precious Key of Enlightenment will serve as a beacon on the path of knowledge, illuminating the path ahead for those who enter this gate. The very Key of Enlightenment that this stationmaster held in his hand was indeed one! So, stop talking nonsense about the key!"

"Both keys will be available free of charge to qualified space station researchers in exchange for their cooperation in the testing. Participation is entirely voluntary. Anyone who was previously interested in the keys held by this stationmaster is welcome to attend the press conference. Now it's your turn! This stationmaster wants to see who will refuse to hold onto the keys once they're in their possession."

“The path to wisdom lies within.”

"——Key to Enlightenment/Key to Inspiration Joint Research and Development Team"

Oops, I've Been Haunted by a Genius!: Chapter 174: A Blessing in Difficulty

Unlike the previous posts that exploded in popularity as soon as they were released, after Esther's announcement was released, the incredulous space station staff were so shocked that they collectively forgot their usual favorite ways of liking, posting nonsense, and making jokes. Almost all of them fell into a state of aphasia.

A key to wisdom? A beacon guiding us along our destiny? Real or fake? Do you, such a brilliant scholar, know this?

Having followed Black Tower, the Envoy of Intellect, for a full millennium, the Space Station naturally possessed a comprehensive understanding of the Master of Knowledge. The path of knowledge was the most equitable, with only hard work and rewards to be found. Where were the benefits?

But thinking about the relationship between the Xianzhou people and the "Hunter Patrol"... Oh my god! Do the Xianzhou people really have some secret method to gain benefits from the Star Gods? Is this something we can listen to for free?

It wasn't until then that the station staff understood why the Xianzhou people had mobilized such a large force for this research. If the effect described in the post could really be achieved, not to mention sending a medical ship and thousands of Danshi, even sending the entire Xianzhou would not be too much!

The Black Tower Space Station is indeed a place where the smartest people in the universe gather. After figuring this out, in a blink of an eye, the staff members brought pillows, quilts, and various sensing and recording instruments, and rushed to the base cabin square from all directions. They began to scramble for the most suitable positions for setting up instruments and asking questions on the spot like vendors grabbing stalls.

Replying? Flooding? At the moment of deciding their own fate, those idiots who still have the leisure to browse the forum are not worthy of walking on the path of knowledge!

And the smarter ones? They've already been reselling this information like crazy!

This kind of news could change the entire universe. If I don't take the opportunity to do a big favor for my friends outside the space station, I'll really lose all ties with them afterwards!

In the blink of an eye, Ester's mailbox was bombarded with 99+ emails from various well-known scholars, laboratories, schools and organizations. These emails, whether formal, straightforward, or humble, ultimately had only one purpose: - I must come to this press conference, and you can set any conditions!

Such an explosive effect filled Ester with dread. If she hadn't brought on Xianzhou Luofu, a high-quality partner, for this ruthless task, she would have been roasted in the crossfire by now. Instead of being able to comfortably respond to them like she was now, her decision wasn't final. She needed to contact Ms. Yuluo, the head of the Xianzhou Danding Division exchange group, and Mr. Jiang Yan, also from Xianzhou.

What, their contact information? Here you go! But I don't know if these people playing Yuzhao Xianzhou read the emails on their portable terminals.

However, some visits cannot be avoided no matter what, such as the uninvited puppet version of Ms. Black Tower in front of you.

Neither Ester nor Jiang Yan had expected that the version of the Key of Knowledge that everyone had continuously downgraded would actually attract the interest of this Envoy of the Key of Knowledge:

"I heard you guys came up with something really interesting? Let me see it!"

Faced with the Black Tower puppet that walked into Ester's laboratory without even knocking, Ester, Jiang Yan, and Yu Luo, who were discussing the details of tomorrow's meeting, quickly stood up and greeted the true owner of the space station:

"Ms. Black Tower."

"Ms. Black Tower."

"Hello, Ms. Heita. I am Yu Luo, the Chief Alchemist of the Luofu Alchemy Department. It is a great honor to meet you."

However, facing the politeness of the three people, Heita frowned and said:

"Alright, alright, save that meaningless talk for tomorrow to tell those idiots. Where's the key?"

Of course, Jiang Yan would not care about this guy's bad temper that was known to the whole universe. After all, he was occupying someone else's territory and using someone else's rare items, so it was not a bad thing to let her take a look first. So he very straightforwardly selected a key of inspiration and a key of enlightenment, as well as the "inspiration magnifying glasses" that he had rushed to make to match them, and handed them to Heita.

The Black Tower did not despise the inferior intellectual power contained therein, but looked with interest at the new wonder in her hand that was transformed from her wonder.

"Interesting! You guys have quite a few good things on your Immortal Ship, but it's really hard to get them. Last time, it was Ruan Mei who finally convinced your general. Luckily, you little guys aren't that stubborn."

After Heita put on the "inspiration magnifying glasses" and sensed it for a while, he rarely smiled and "praised" Yu Luo.

How could Yu Luo dare to respond to General Ruiping's words? She could only smile awkwardly.

However, Heita, who always liked to talk to himself, didn't care about Yu Luo's reaction at all. After mentioning it casually, he put down his glasses and played with the "Key of Inspiration" in his hand, which Jiang Yan had transformed from a magic cube.

Without seeing how the Black Tower drove its power, Jiang Yan clearly sensed that the Prometheus version of the truth contained in the key had been completely activated and analyzed by the Black Tower.

"Does the digital life in your hand want to be a small version of Boshizun? That's quite a thought!"

Even as the Envoy of the Intellectual Order, Heita had no faith in the Lord of Knowledge. Faced with Jiang Yan's blatant hijacking of the Intellectual Path's IP address and redirecting it to Prometheus, he not only did not object, but instead greatly admired Jiang Yan's daring spirit. After all, the Intellectual Path was no different from others, and even if he followed someone else's path to the end, there was no point at all.

"Let her connect to the simulated universe someday, run the data model, and compare it with the machine head in the simulated universe."

This invitation represented Black Tower's rare recognition of Prometheus. Jiang Yan was about to accept it with pleasure when he saw Black Tower suddenly frown.

"Did you replace the power in this strange object?"

"Yes."

"If you want to challenge my endurance, then you win."

With that, as if holding something dirty, Heita took the "Key of Inspiration" Jiang Yan had transformed from a Rubik's Cube and, with a few casual twists, reconstructed the intellectual power contained within. His skillful, precise, and efficient technique made Jiang Yan wish he had a recording function, preventing him from reliving and replaying it over and over again.

"It's okay to take advantage of the existing rare objects, but how did you manage to be so bad at it?" Heita criticized Jiang Yan's rough method without mercy.

As a seeker of knowledge who conducts experiments all day long, the fine manipulation of imaginary numbers is even more common to geniuses than a normal attack. Sensing that Jiang Yan had transformed the strange object in his hand into a power structure as chaotic as a ball of yarn scratched by a cat, Heita, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, was almost driven to death.

She wanted to throw away the extremely crude key of inspiration in her hand, but the dignity of a genius forced her to admit that this extremely simple "strange thing" in front of her could be regarded as a revolutionary achievement that even gave her a lot of inspiration, and it was worthy of being added to the front row of her private collection.

But tossing such an eye-catching thing into her private collection was, for Heita, an expert in controlling imaginary power, more painful than death. Helplessly, she sighed, pulled out a bag full of immortal boat features from her folding space, and painfully handed it to Jiang Yan:

"That's a great deal! I'll lend you this Ruan bag. Take a good look at how Ruan Mei weaves the power structure, and then make a decent set of keys for me to keep. Oh, and remember to return it to me after you're done!"

The handmade wonder that he had long dreamed of but could not find in reality fell in front of Jiang Yan like a pie in the sky, and Jiang Yan immediately took it with ecstasy.

However, after just a careful perception, Jiang Yan was completely dumbfounded.

The entire bag was made without any real materials and was woven piece by piece with imaginary power. Ruan Mei even had the leisure to use imaginary power to weave and embroider various patterns and decorations on the bag without affecting any function of the bag at all.

This kind of control over imaginary force is simply against the will of heaven.

Jiang Yan's previous best attempt at controlling imaginary force was, at best, to arbitrarily piece it together like building blocks. Weaving and embroidery? Is that something humans can do? There's no way I'd learn it!

Seeing that Jiang Yan was already hesitant, Heita, who had willingly lent out his treasures in the hope of collecting a perfect collection, quickly encouraged him:

"You can't learn it on your own, but when Ruan Mei arrives at the space station, you can learn from her! As long as you sell your body to her for research, she'll agree to such a small thing."

Since Heita had said this, Jiang Yan was too embarrassed to continue to give in and play badly, so he had to make a serious promise:

"Well, if I am lucky enough to learn a few of Ms. Ruan Mei's skills, I will definitely make a more perfect set of intellectual keys for you."

After hearing Jiang Yan's promise, Heita finally nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand and patted Jiang Yan's shoulder:

"If you're not good at it, practice more. I won't use you for nothing. If you don't want to bother with the idiots at the Bozhi Society or the company during this period, just tell them to get lost by telling me."

"Keep going, I'm really counting on you!" With that, Heita left. It was as if, to her, this world-changing invention was just a bonus to her collection.

This promise instantly delighted Jiang Yan and Ester. Their biggest concern for tomorrow's press conference was a swarm of connections who would overshadow the event.

Even if they used the Luofu Danding Division, which at least looked glamorous to outsiders, no matter how powerful a force was, it could not exist in a vacuum, and some requests still could not be refused.

Shortly after Ester's announcement was sent out, the Polytechnic Institute sent Ester a request for a delegation led by Veritas Latio and consisting of hundreds of members; and the Interstellar Peace Company also sent an application to send a knowledge achievement valuation team.

The Bozhi Society was the Black Tower Space Station's most important partner, and the Interstellar Peace Company was the station's financial backer. Could Estelle refuse such an application? Of course not. She couldn't just abandon the joint research and stop applying for funding!

Although Ester didn't intend to let the space station have all the spoils, but with this scale... it seems like they want to rely on negotiations to get a piece of the pie. If they keep pestering her and make all kinds of excessive demands, how will it end?

But now, with Heita's words, the two of them felt completely confident.

Those who believe in the way of knowledge can certainly understand a simple decision: whether you can eat the pie can be considered in the long run, but if you offend Ms. Black Tower, you may even lose the pot.

A letter with the message "Please control the scale of the visit, Ms. Heita does not want to affect Jiang Yan's research" completely shut down the Bozhi Society, Interstellar Peace Company, and other scientific research organizations that were preparing to send all their staff to visit.

Whether it is the Institute of Knowledge or the Interstellar Peace Company, although they will not send all of them back to where they came from, they can only reduce the number of visitors according to Ester's rules, and at the same time try to get one or two more places as much as possible within the scope set by Ester.

It was their skill that soon, a communication request from Topa reached Jiang Yan. After the call was connected, Topa complained to Jiang Yan half-jokingly with a tired face:
