As for Sister Yuluo out there... I'm so sorry! I'll definitely get back at her someday!
With his teammates dying and being sold out, Yu Luo almost wanted to go on strike on the spot.
What's so good about following this fleeing Dragon Lord and the captain who pretended to be dead? He might as well just cling to Lingsha's thigh and get along with Yan Tingjun.
Unfortunately, her racial trait as an "Immortal" offspring denied her any choice. She had only one way to become stronger: to follow the Dragon Lord's footsteps as closely as possible, purifying and activating her own bloodline until she could regain the might of a dragon.
Luofu Chiming's bloodline is almost entirely filled with the power of the Cloud Chant Secret Art. Even if the other Dragon Lords are powerful, it is meaningless to them! Without power, what is the use of authority and Xundi?
Fortunately, she is the type who, although not a genius, can unleash 200% of her potential in times of crisis.
Facing hundreds of faces filled with expressions like "Master Dan, please continue your performance," Yu Luo suddenly seemed to have received an intellectual enlightenment. After a burst of thoughts, he calmly said to his subordinates:
"Don't be nervous. Lady Dragon's greatest mission on this trip is to seek advice on how to continue the race from the universe's most powerful biologist, Ms. Ruan Mei, the 81st chairperson of the Genius Club."
This sentence immediately stunned all the alchemists.
Medicine and biology are inextricably linked. For alchemists like them, Ruan Mei, who has been famous for at least ten Amber Ages, is an existence that they can never reach in terms of seniority or achievements.
Asking Ruan Mei to solve the reproduction problem of the Chiming tribe seems to be a good match for his profession!
But how much would Xianzhou have to pay to hire that hermit-like genius?
Seeing everyone looking thoughtful, Yuluo quickly took the opportunity to make up, no, tell the next part of the story:
"Thanks to the Captain's tireless efforts, Ms. Ruan Mei finally agreed to work with Lady Dragon Girl to research this problem that has plagued our race for ten thousand years. During this time, the Captain has been secluded and even suffered a sudden illness. This is the side effect of his self-sacrifice to cooperate with Ms. Ruan Mei in a series of experiments."
Yu Luo's words instantly made the alchemists nervous.
Although everyone believed in Ruan Mei's ability, no one intended to pin the Chiming tribe's hopes entirely on an outsider.
If we were to accidentally destroy the only successful example of this magic method of transforming into a dragon right under everyone's noses, and we were all forced to shave our scales and regenerate ourselves, we wouldn't be able to atone for our sins to our tribe!
Thinking of this, the alchemists wanted to rush into the ward immediately to give Jiang Yan a joint consultation, but Yu Luo stopped them with his hand:
"Don't worry, our Captain has Lady Dragonette to look after him. She was the first to notice the abnormality and provide timely treatment. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."
"Why, who thinks that their medical skills are better than Lady Dragon, or that their relationship with the Captain is closer than Lady Dragon?"
Yu Luo's words immediately made all the alchemists fall into silence.
Bai Lu's nickname "Dragon Girl Holding Medicine" was not earned from her identity as Dragon Lord, but from her medical skills that surpassed everyone else in the Danding Division. Her reputation was passed on by word of mouth among the people of Luofu, and even within the Danding Division, everyone admired her.
The premise of a consultation is that everyone's level is similar, so they can check each other's omissions and fill in the gaps. But if the level difference is too big, what's the point of deliberately making a fool of yourself and causing trouble?
Speaking of relationships, people even hugged and chewed it directly...
"Alright, for the time being, Lady Dragon will be inseparable from the Captain. Please don't be surprised. Let's disperse."
Seeing that his subordinates had finally been successfully misled by him, Yu Luo struck while the iron was hot. He finally drove his subordinates away by bluffing and deceiving them. Then he finally walked into the clinic, sat down on the chair in the clinic, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Why do I, an ordinary person with no ideals, always encounter such situations?
Is it so difficult to practice medicine and do research honestly until retirement?
Oh, when will this kind of day end?
Thinking about the situation that had occurred this time when he "made meritorious service while serving his sentence", Yu Luo couldn't help but sigh. God knows when he would have the chance to return to Luofu.
However, before she could adjust her mentality, the unconscious patient in front of her suddenly sat up with a flutter, looked at her with extremely serious eyes, and said seriously:
"Sister Yuluo, do you think your suggestion of asking Ruan Mei to help with joint research on the reproduction of the Chiming tribe will be successful?"
Oops, I've Been Haunted by a Genius!: Chapter 194: Continuation of the Race
The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may have taken it to heart. Yu Luo's casual excuse inspired Jiang Yan's imagination after he heard it.
To be honest, as early as when he decided to come to the space station to find Ruan Mei, Jiang Yan had considered whether he should call Bai Lu to come with him and let Ruan Mei check and study to see if this most powerful biologist in the universe has any way to solve the reproduction problem that the Chiming tribe is most worried about, and by the way, avoid the hidden danger of himself being captured to give birth to a dragon.
However, Jiang Yan quickly gave up this unrealistic idea.
Calling Luofu Dragon Lord here to be studied by outsiders? Putting all your hopes on outsiders and going all-in?
General Jingyuan would never agree, Marshal Xianzhou would never agree, Dragon Master Luofu would never agree, and the other Dragon Lords would never agree. If you dare to mess around, you will definitely be imprisoned in a private room in the Prison.
After seeing the Star-Breaking King Worm resurrected by Ruan Mei, Jiang Yan was even more grateful that he did not act impulsively and completely gave up this idea.
Dan Feng, no matter how audacious he was, would only create an evil dragon. Leaving Bai Lu to a truly lawless person like Ruan Mei would only lead to good consequences. The evil dragon was probably the best outcome.
You know, the descendants of the "Immortal" are not limited to the Chiming lineage. There are also many giant beasts that can swallow stars and spit out suns. Once Ruan Mei gets interested, he will immediately carry out a taboo fusion. The reproduction problem may be solved, but what kind of offspring will be born is really hard to say...
However, the excuse Yu Luo made up reminded him that Bai Lu could not be studied by her, but she could!
Anyway, I have already rented these 100-plus pounds to Ruan Mei for research on the power of "reproduction". What's the big deal if I let her research the power of "immortality" at the same time?
If she could really come up with a plan to purify the "immortal" power in herself for creation, wouldn't it be more convincing than a special individual like Long Zun?
When faced with Jiang Yan's volunteering, Yu Luo was already speechless and dumbfounded.
What did I just say? Sacrifice yourself and cooperate with the experiment? Are you serious?
Bloodline experiments are the most dangerous among all experiments. Genetic collapse, tissue mutation, and the runaway power of destiny... every side effect is almost fatal, so most experimenters are reluctant to use even the more precious samples.
Someone actually signed up for this lottery-level experiment? What kind of magic potion did Lady Dragon Girl give you?
Yu Luo looked at Jiang Yan for a long time with the eyes of a love saint, then shook her head and replied:
"My race has been plagued by the problem of racial continuity for tens of thousands of years, and we have already tried every conceivable solution. Although I have long heard of Ms. Ruan Mei's great name, I don't believe she can solve this problem single-handedly."
"Besides, bloodline experiments are extremely dangerous. Xiao Jiang, you are also very important to our Chiming Clan. It would be better for us to conduct the relevant experiments. Even if the success rate is not high, at least we will never disturb the balance of your genetic model and bloodline power."
Unlike the mad scientist impression that Jiang Yan had left on her, Ruan Mei's image among the public was almost that of a solitary hermit. People only learned about her recent movements from the sudden miracle of species prosperity or other miraculous ecological changes in a certain place.
So at least in Yu Luo's eyes, Ruan Mei is not an uncooperative person, but practitioners of the "knowledge" path are only different in greed and madness when seeking knowledge. Rationality will always disappear at this time, so the more knowledge exchanged, the better. As for experiments... forget it.
However, how could she know that the guy in front of her had already sold his body weighing over 100 pounds instead of his skills?
Jiang Yan said nonchalantly:
"Don't worry, Sister Yuluo, I'm very familiar with Ruan Mei. She even taught me the Creation Method she's best at. I won't suffer any loss by cooperating with her."
Unfortunately, although Jiang Yan's answer was the complete truth, it sounded extremely outrageous to Yu Luo.
Yu Luo didn't know how powerful Ruan Mei's creation method was, but a genius taught you her signature technique? Can you say more?
Why? On what basis? You've only been on the space station for a few days? Can she teach you? Can you learn it?
Although I know your social skills are ridiculous, but you should also use some science! Why don't you say that she became a star god, and then you were blessed with the title of an envoy?
Seeing Yu Luo's face full of disbelief, Jiang Yan knew that it would be difficult to gain the support of this nominal subordinate without showing some concrete results.
It’s not that I need her help with the research, but when researching this kind of thing, the most feared thing is duplication of research. With the help of this Danshi Chief of the Chiming Clan, I believe that at least a lot of time of “reinventing the wheel” can be saved.
So Jiang Yan had no choice but to say:
"Well, Sister Yuluo, come with me."
After saying that, he went to the cafeteria to pack a miniature pastry, then led Yu Luo to his dormitory and met little Ruan Mei.
"Little Miss Ruan Mei, thank you for keeping me waiting. I was delayed for a while today. This is my apology. Please accept it."
As Jiang Yan spoke, he opened the box of pastries and placed it in front of little Ruan Mei.
Yu Luo was stunned when he saw the puppet-like little man in front of him skillfully opening the folding space on his body, taking out a plate and fork to enjoy the pastries.
"This, this, this, this...what's going on?"
As the head of the alchemy department, she could of course sense that the little person before her, though small, possessed all the necessary organs. Whether it was Qi, blood, soul, or even breathing, it possessed all the necessary features of a living being; it was definitely a complete being.
Creating a miniature version of yourself and giving it to someone else—what kind of friendship is this? What kind of perverted gameplay is this?
This genius-level XP once again caused the knowledge of this Chiming clan's alchemist to exceed the standard, and his brain was completely overloaded.
However, there was one thing she completely chose to believe - the guy next to her did have a "good" relationship with Ms. Ruan Mei, so good that they could send villains to each other.
Since it was so good, Yu Luo naturally no longer worried that Jiang Yan would be turned into an indescribable pile and thrown into the trash can by the other party's drastic experiments. Instead, he began to think about how to borrow the wisdom of this genius to obtain some interim results that the Chiming clan needed most.
She was certainly not someone who would hesitate since she could immediately lead a group of subordinates out of Luofu. Soon, Yu Luo made up her mind and said:
"Xiao Jiang, these are some of the research progress of the Luofu Chiming clan on the continuation of the race. Please give them to Ms. Ruan Mei for reference."
After saying that, he sent Jiang Yan a batch of information with "top secret" written all over the table of contents.
Jiang Yan took a quick look and found that it was actually a summary of the Luofu Chiming clan's long-term attempts to continue their race, as well as their results and knowledge.
On the road ahead, it is not just the correct answers that are valuable; wrong answers still have great value.
After all, every wrong answer eliminates an incorrect option for the correct answer. Without this warning, the cost of proving this path is a dead end could easily be an astronomical amount of resources and lives. And Jiang Yan's collection of "wrong answers," accumulated over countless years, is clearly a priceless treasure for those with a keen eye. So much so that even the lawless Jiang Yan felt a little guilty after receiving them.
"Can this thing really be spread outside? It won't implicate you, Sister Yu Luo, right..." Jiang Yan asked hesitantly.
The Chiming Clan's tempers were explosive, and neither the Dragon Master nor the other Dragon Lords were easy to talk to. He knew, of course, that this collection of incorrect answers could greatly accelerate Ruan Mei's research, but if the price was forcing this temporary subordinate to undergo a forced transformation, then forget it. He didn't necessarily need to completely resolve this issue for the Chiming Clan. A little progress would be enough to give the other Dragon Lords something to think about, so they wouldn't constantly be tempted to capture him. Why put this kind-hearted Alchemist Chief at such a risk?
However, Yuluo just waved his hand and said:
"It's such a long time now, and you're still hoarding your treasures? Ever since the great battle at Fang Hu thirty years ago, all of our research institutes have thoroughly shared their research progress and data, and Luofu Dan Ding Division is no exception. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to share this information. Of course, there's still the risk of being held accountable, so Xiao Jiang, please don't spread this information or make it public!"
In fact, the Chiming Clan is not as abstract as Jiang Yan sees. The main reason why the Dragon Masters and Dragon Lords are so powerful now is a great battle thirty years ago, which really crippled the Chiming Clan and made them anxious.
Since that war, the Fang Hu, suffering heavy casualties, have not responded to any calls from the Alliance, even avoiding normal trade, preferring self-sufficiency for fear of another war. To avoid genocide, they've broken all their original principles, colluding with demons, plotting to replace the Dragon Lord, using forbidden techniques, and so on. The root of the problem lies here.
However, this time, Jiang Yan enjoyed the benefits without any limit, otherwise how could he have obtained these information?
Faced with such a pie falling from the sky, Jiang Yan naturally would not refuse. After nodding repeatedly to indicate that he would keep it confidential, he listened carefully to Yu Luo's patient explanation.
Although the Chiming clan has not produced a genius, it has produced countless talented people over the past ten thousand years, so naturally it would not be without gain. The solutions alone are divided into three factions: the "Blessing Faction", the "New Blood Faction", and the "Adaptation Faction".
The Blessing Sect believes that all the tragedies of the Vajra clan stem from the fall of the Immortal. However, the Dragon Lord is unable to rain down fire like the dead dragon "Crying Wind," allowing his offspring to flourish and regenerate. Consequently, the Vajra clan is unable to survive. Therefore, everyone should focus their efforts on worshipping the Dragon Lord, making them powerful enough to bless their people. At the same time, they should utilize the ability of the Vajra eggs to absorb the power of the Ancient Sea upon hatching, gradually uniting the bloodlines of the five Dragon Lords and ultimately creating a "Dragon King" capable of blessing their offspring.
But the Chi Ming Clan had spent countless years cultivating only five Dragon Lords, so how could they possibly gather together to create a "Dragon King"? To this end, they conducted numerous bloodline experiments, even deliberately exchanging the hatching locations of multiple batches of Chi Ming eggs. However, due to the fact that the blood of the Dragon Lords with diametrically opposed characteristics was difficult to blend, so far, there has been little success.
The New Blood faction believes that the "Immortal" has fallen and the road to destiny has been cut off, which is irreversible. Instead of waiting for a miracle to happen, it is better to introduce new blood with the same or similar destiny and inject it into the hatching eggs of the Vajra, gradually completing the life form of the tribe members and eventually restoring their ability to reproduce.
Unfortunately, due to the stability and strength of the "Immortal" power, no matter whether the power of reproduction or the power of abundance is added, the final result is either rejection or the birth of monsters. There are almost no successful examples.
They went so far as to hunt the descendants of ancient dragons who had become wild beasts on other planets, and purified the "immortality" power from them to irrigate the eggs of the Dhyana. Although the results were better, the reproductive capacity was not seen, and the proportion of dragon maniacs was increasing day by day. In the end, they were forced to stop under the strong accusations and suppression of "this action is no different from that of the People of Plenty" by other factions. They turned underground and became partners with various monsters.
The Adaptationists, on the other hand, believe that "unchanging" is meaningless in an ever-changing universe. Since the Immortal has fallen, they, its descendants, must actively embrace alternative destinies, deeply empathize with all things, become one with the Dao, and ultimately usher in their own new life. This is the true meaning of "immortality." Consequently, the Adaptationists actively pursue alternative destinies, using their power to transform their bodies, attempting to become a "new kind of vidyadhara" capable of reproduction.
However, bloodline transformation is not something mortals can easily achieve. Even though a large number of Vajra members have received the powers of "hunting," "intelligence," "preservation," and even "abundance," and even high-ranking generals among the Pearl Guardians, to date, no one has displayed the slightest characteristics of a "new Vajra." They haven't even laid a single egg, let alone reproduced.
After listening to Yu Luo's explanation, Jiang Yan realized that he had underestimated the heroes of the world.
When it comes to the crisis of genocide, the Chiming tribe must be a thousand times more anxious than themselves. They have conducted countless high-risk blood experiments and even dared to fight ancient dragons. What else have they not thought of or done?
Can Ruan Mei really solve this problem?
Just as Jiang Yan was struggling, little Ruan Mei, who had been elegantly savoring the pastries, suddenly spoke up:
"My dear, if this is your wish, then come to my laboratory. I told you I would give you enough 'rewards', regardless of any request."
"The descendants of the Immortal, well, they're good research specimens. I might not be able to restore their reproduction, but creating some new life shouldn't be difficult."
After saying these two sentences, Little Ruan Mei paused for a moment and continued in the same voice:
"That's what Ruan Mei replied after I applied to her. As her only assistant, you have the qualifications."
Although there was nothing to hide about the conversation, Yu Luo was still shocked by these sudden attacks. She stared at Jiang Yan with wide eyes, as if asking, "She can contact the Creator directly. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
However, Jiang Yan's only response to her was a helpless shrug.
Although he had heard from little Ruan Mei that she could contact the main body, he never thought it would be so convenient.
But since everyone heard it, why bother telling them? Let's just go together.
So Jiang Yan suggested very straightforwardly: "Since I've heard everything, Sister Yuluo, why don't we go talk to Ruan Mei and see if she has any good ideas."
Oops, I've Been Haunted by a Genius!: Chapter 195: Immediate Refining
Ruan Mei was very easy to find. After arriving at the Black Tower Space Station, she plunged into the laboratory. Apart from taking the time to visit her "assistant" Jiang Yan, she had never even stepped out of the laboratory. As a result, when Esther, who was responsible for supplying her with experimental supplies and food, talked about this with Jiang Yan during dinner, she was amazed.
How can you compare with someone who is a thousand times more intelligent than you and a thousand times more capable than you?
After applying for temporary access rights for Yu Luo and sending the information to Ruan Mei in advance, Jiang Yan and Yu Luo quickly and successfully knocked on the door of her laboratory in the confinement section.
"Please come in."
As expected, there was no reception, only a cold and familiar voice coming from the distant front.
No matter how many times he came, Jiang Yan couldn't help but marvel at the scale of this laboratory. In a space station where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, the Black Tower had actually provided Ruan Mei with a massive laboratory that took up half a module, along with a supporting enclosed test field. This was sheer extravagance.
After just a short absence, the lab had completely transformed. A vast array of seemingly priceless plant and animal specimens filled the lab's experimental fields, greenhouses, and incubators like potted plants. Ruan Mei, unmoving, stood before a chamber where a strange shell floated. One hand operated the controls, injecting a strange-colored liquid into the chamber, while the other expertly traced the air, scribbling experimental notes.
She had been working on the experiment for who knows how many days, but she didn't look haggard or tired at all. If one had to say the only change was that her cold appearance could no longer conceal the enthusiasm for truth in her eyes, which made Jiang Yan realize once again that the soul of a mad scientist was hidden in the peerless face before him.
