Well, in a sense, he did take the lead over a certain childhood sweetheart of Xianzhou.
"Ms. Esther, if you calm down, please move aside. We are going to start the inspection!" Bai Lu, who was one step behind Esther due to her short arms and legs, said unhappily.
Bai Lu's attitude instantly excited all the Chiming people watching around. They all wanted to stretch their necks as long as dragons and couldn't help but start to move forward, fearing that they would miss the live version of the most popular meme in the Chiming tribe recently:
"Are you here to get it? The legendary one?"
"Does this Lord Long really want to do that in public?"
"Quick! Perform the "treatment" in front of that outsider!"
"She actually managed to snatch it from Long Zun? Quick, give her some 'treatment'!"
Bai Lu was of course aware of everyone's whispers and gossip-filled attitude, but at this moment she had no intention of arguing with these guys who had been playing abacus with beads flying everywhere since they arrived here. She had also been waiting anxiously for a long time, and now only had Jiang Yan in her eyes. As for Ester who was standing aside, she had long been ignored as an obstacle.
Although it was clear that the stationmaster was not to blame for Jiang Yan's injury, seeing that Jiang Yan was almost left with only his head, Bai Lu was heartbroken and it was hard not to feel a little resentful towards this new friend who had been standing by and blocking the way.
More importantly, if there was any possibility, Bai Lu would not have transferred so much essence and blood of other Dragon Lords into Jiang Yan's body at the same time.
Is it blood that is lost? Clearly, it is legal rights that are lost!
Originally, I could rely on my status as a Dragon Lord to forcibly ignore the excessive demands of other Dragon Lords. Although the person is fine now, don’t I have to repay the favors I owe to so many people?
Once several Dragon Lords agree to take turns borrowing your space for a hundred years to reproduce, I'll see how you cry!
Thinking of this, Bai Lu looked at Ester, who knew nothing about this, with a bad temper. She walked to Jiang Yan angrily, and seeing that Jiang Yan was still weak, all the words she had originally held in her heart to blame him for not following the doctor's advice and recklessly exerting his strength were stuck on her lips. In the end, she just lowered her head, rubbed his forehead with her dragon horn, and said aggrievedly:
"You're messing around again! Do you know that you almost died this time?"
"If you die, what will I do..."
Seeing Bai Lu looking like she was about to cry, Jiang Yan instantly felt extremely guilty.
He knew very well that Bai Lu looked soft, but in fact she had a very strong character. Even though she was ignored, imprisoned, and grew up in malice by the dragon masters, she never cried like other children because of grievances and sadness. But she was so sad because of him. Jiang Yan quickly rubbed Bai Lu's dragon horn and comforted her softly:
"I was wrong. I won't take such a risk again next time..."
In order not to delay the treatment, Esther, who was standing by, saw this scene and was completely stunned.
Where's the treatment we agreed on? Are you talking him down, or trying to revive him with your saliva? I haven't even had time to say anything yet! Can't we chat after I finish?
Wait, is this little guy also my competitor? This is not legal!
Although Ester had seen many intimate interactions between the two since Bai Lu arrived, the huge age difference in appearance made Ester always think that they were just childhood sweethearts of different races. This little dragon girl was probably still hundreds of years away from adulthood and could not possibly become a threat.
But Ester never imagined that in the face of the righteous cause of the continuation of the Chiming tribe, the Dihengsi had already flexibly awarded Bai Lu a golden medal of immunity, even though she had violated the moral code with minors in public many times and they just pretended not to see it. And the Chiming tribe even wanted to make Bai Lu even more immoral?
Seeing Bai Lu talking endlessly, Ester, who had a lot to say, became unhappy.
He is your patient, not a prisoner, so there should be a first come first served principle!
However, just as she was about to come over, Bai Lu waved her hand, and Miss Yu Luo and several alchemists from the fairy boat came over, carrying various diagnostic and treatment equipment. They surrounded Jiang Yan and started various examinations from blood drawing to cell puncture.
Although Jiang Yan appeared to be recovering, seeing Miss Ruan Mei pulling out a heart from Jiang Yan's chest and transforming into a miniature version of herself in front of them, who would dare to fully believe in the effectiveness of this horrific "treatment"?
In the eyes of the people of Xianzhou, even the most terrifying scene of the witch casting a spell in mythology was not even a fraction of the scene of heart-wrenching and human transformation just now. Even Yu Luo, who had seen Ruan Mei's working style, was frightened to the point of feeling weak in the knees, not to mention the other members of the Chiming tribe who had just arrived at the Black Tower Space Station.
If we don’t check, who knows if everyone’s hopes have been cursed by the other party’s witchcraft and turned into the other party’s puppets?
Fortunately, both the physical data examination and the mental examination proved that Jiang Yan was still Jiang Yan, and everyone finally felt relieved.
But that's where the good news ends.
According to the examination results, after the crazy regeneration of the body, the massive spread of ancient dragon cells, and a cellular and genetic battle between Dragon Lord and Ancient Dragon that covered the entire body, although the gene splicing that Ruan Mei had envisioned had made obvious progress under the combined action of high pressure and external force, this crisis-based integration was seriously lacking in stability, and secondly, Jiang Yan's own cells were also difficult to bear such a strong force. At this moment, Jiang Yan's genetic structure and cells were like stretched balloons. Once stimulated again, the end would only be direct collapse or rapid restoration under the action of the "immortal" power.
Looking at the data in the inspection report, Bai Lu's expression turned even worse, and she complained with a pout:
"Where on earth did Ms. Ruan Mei get all these powerful genes? She's basically trying to turn you into a monster!"
For Bai Lu, the continuation of the race is insignificant compared to Jiang Yan's safety, not to mention "power".
Rather than letting Jiang Yan become the hope of saving Chi Ming, she would rather let Jiang Yan be her personal companion for eating and playing, and live happily in Chang Letian for the rest of his life. After all, her medical fees were enough to support him for thousands of years.
So whether it's the guy who is bent on doing crazy experiments, or the guys in front of her who can't wait for Xiao Jiang to give birth to a dragon, or the guy behind her who can't wait for Xiao Jiang to give birth to a dragon, she doesn't like them!
Seeing Bai Lu's pouting lips almost enough to hang her medicine gourd, Jiang Yan smiled and smoothed her lips and said:
"If you don't seek power while you're on the Immortal Ship, war will find you. Whether it's for power or to repay the favor of the Chiming Clan, you have to give it a try."
"Besides, Ruan Mei has come up with a solution. I'll probably be healed in three days!"
Bai Lu had no way of refutating Jiang Yan's words.
The people of Xianzhou always follow the direction of the emperor's bow and arrow, so how can they stay away from war?
As a Dragon Lord, she couldn't stay out of the affairs of the Chiming Clan. It could even be said that Jiang Yan's efforts were largely due to her, and for her. So how could she blame him?
However, Bai Lu was always extremely wary of the guy who was bent on conducting crazy experiments, and always felt that Jiang Yan would be deceived by her one day.
After all, Xiao Jiang likes older sisters like his sister the most...
So Bai Lu, unable to think of a way to object, could only angrily sweep Jiang Yan's face back and forth with the tip of her tail while saying:
"Okay, I know I'm not as capable as her as a healer! But you're not allowed to move around these few days. Just listen to me, a useless healer, and recover quickly! Don't refuse!"
Seeing the aggrieved and unwilling look of the little dragon girl, Jiang Yan quickly comforted her:
"Okay, okay, no problem. I will absolutely not move a step and will follow the doctor's instructions."
Soon, to Esther's astonishment, Jiang Yan was carefully stuffed from the emergency room into a large fish tank. She had a lot to say, but now she could only communicate through the portable terminal across the "fish tank".
Recalling the shocking news revealed by a "mysterious hacker who was dissatisfied" on the space station forum, Ester didn't dare to believe it at first, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she couldn't help but believe it.
It seems that this group of Chiming people in the Xianzhou really intend to keep Jiang Yan for themselves and ask him to give birth to little dragons for them every day!
How could he possibly bear this? These Chiming people were so desperate for reproduction that they even had young girls plotting against him.
No, I must save him from this dire straits!
Oops, I'm being haunted by a genius! : Chapter 220: Group Welcome
Jiang Yan spent three full days as an ornamental fish in the "fish tank".
Although he felt that he had recovered his ability to move soon after Ruan Mei left, under Bai Lu's threat of "I will cry in front of you if you dare to leave the fish tank", he could only soak in the water of the ancient sea and slowly adapt to and repair his body that was beaten to pieces by the cellular civil war.
It was not that Jiang Yan couldn't bear it for just three days, but as an ornamental fish, he had too many viewers.
For example, Esther who stayed here all day and kept feeding him;
For example, the friends who took turns to visit and laugh at me;
For example, the train crew members who had fought side by side and had become closer, and Huang Quan, who was temporarily staying on the medical ship due to the repair of the spacecraft and would come outside the "fish tank" every day to enjoy the sight;
For example, there are other "comrades-in-arms" who are very concerned about when he will recover so that he can continue to play keys.
Faced with this kind of round-the-clock visits, Jiang Yan, who was completely unable to refuse the enthusiasm, had no choice but to keep her head above the water all year round, just like the mermaid Rusalka in the fairy tale. She not only provided viewing services, but also provided chatting services. She chatted with people from all walks of life until late at night every day, and only then would she lie back in the water exhausted and thirsty like a salted fish.
The three days of recuperation made Jiang Yan feel like he had already gone through three Amber Ages.
This kind of “recuperation” is open to anyone who wants to!
Finally, with the end of three days of imprisonment in the fish tank, Jiang Yan jumped out of the water like a flying fish early in the morning. After packing his luggage and having breakfast, he came to the platform of the Black Tower Space Station early, ready to welcome Screw Gum who came to save his life with mechanical cells.
This was no small favor. Jiang Yan had specifically asked Ester about this, but even the Black Tower Station Master, who managed countless artifacts, had never heard of any artifact that could make metal "grow" and "divide" like flesh and blood.
But there was no doubt that this miraculous metal structure, which almost defied common sense, would be one of the most extraordinary artifacts in the entire universe. Even if Ruan Mei was the one paying for this favor, as the beneficiary, she couldn't pretend to be ignorant.
However, what Jiang Yan did not expect was that even though he arrived a whole system ahead of time, the platform was already crowded.
Not only were Ester and several department heads of the space station waiting on the platform early to welcome Screwgum's visit, but almost all the forces staying in the Black Tower Space Station seeking the key had sent their highest-ranking representatives to the welcoming ceremony.
Even Luofu's friends, who had no interest in science at all, came over to meet Jiang Yan and join in the fun.
After all, Snail Gum is more than just an ordinary genius; he's the king of Snail Planet, a leading figure and representative of the entire universe's intelligent machines. How could anyone who's out to play and broaden their horizons miss the chance to meet a prominent figure like the Immortal Ship Marshal?
Although the people haven't arrived yet, the sight of forces from all over the universe rushing over to pay tribute to each other's wisdom has made the friends feel that the price of the ticket is worth it.
In comparison, isn't the other genius who lives in a fish tank a little too down-to-earth?
Thinking of this, Gui Naifen looked at Jiang Yan and sighed regretfully:
"Xiao Jiang, when will you, the 85th seat, ever get a card as powerful as Mr. Screw-Gum? As your good friends, we should probably take advantage of you!"
Facing Gui Naifen's "Hope Friends Jackie Chan", Jiang Yan quickly retreated to cut off the enemy. After looking around and finding that no one was paying attention to Gui Naifen's nonsense, he replied with a dark face:
"Little Guizi, did you skip all your Immortal Boat introductory classes? Mr. Screw Gum was already famous throughout the universe after the Second Imperial War, which was also the end of our Jin Rebellion. You expect me to be so arrogant? Let's talk about it in four thousand years!"
Anyone who has taken a few cosmic history classes in school wouldn't be comparing me to him! You think too highly of me!
Nanook should call him brother based on seniority, okay?
However, Gui Naifen was not convinced by Jiang Yan's contempt:
"Besides you, which barbarian would be so perverted as to pore over enlightenment textbooks that are enough to last for decades? After enlightenment, people will almost die of old age, okay?"
"Besides, for a foreigner like me, it's already quite remarkable that I can understand Luofu history without making a fool of myself! How can I have the time to read the history of the universe? If you don't believe me, ask Yanqing and Shangshang, do they know anything?"
However, just as the words fell, Gui Naifen's behavior of dragging people into the water was slapped in the face on the spot:
"Don't take me with you. I'm here to protect Miss Bailu on the orders of the general. In order to fulfill my mission, I've done my homework in advance." Yan Qing replied thankfully.
He has been obsessed with swordsmanship since he was a child. Even though he has learned a lot of military strategies and cultural knowledge under Jing Yuan's supervision, how could he pay more attention to those humanities knowledge?
Fortunately, thanks to the advance preparation for diplomatic etiquette this time...Thinking of this, Yan Qing's face immediately filled with a proud smile.
He was proud, and the one who was embarrassed was Su Shang, who was also from the Immortal Boat. This Li Dazhentou naturally fell into the trap dug by Gui Naifen without any surprise.
After much thought, she couldn't remember when she had learned this little-known trivia, so she could only bite the bullet and respond:
"I did study it, but you only need 60 points to graduate from college. This part is part of the other 40 points, I just don't remember it."
"I understand the logic, but Shang Shang, wasn't you admitted to the Yun Cavalry Army on the basis of your swordsmanship?" Gui Naifen asked in a puzzled manner.
"The Yunqi Army doesn't even test academic subjects, okay!" As Suchang dug her own grave, the small circle was soon filled with cheerful laughter.
Before the friends could kill time by laughing at each other, they saw the stargate open, and a silver spaceship slowly arrived at the platform. The long-awaited mechanical noble stepped out of the hatch, and amidst the greetings, he gracefully returned the greeting.
"If thought always precedes language, then no words can define this joy. I am delighted to return to this holy land of knowledge seekers and share the sparks of wisdom with you all."
With that, Screw-Gum took a few steps forward, opening the hatch. Under the gaze of the crowd, a young woman, with an inorganic expression but otherwise indistinguishable from a human girl, floated out of the hatch without touching the ground and immediately landed beside Screw-Gum.
This behavior instantly froze everyone's thinking.
Who is this omnic with bionic skin? How could he possibly stand beside ScrewGum?
Is it the leader of a certain mechanical planet? No, I haven't heard of any announcement of a visit from such a big shot!
Only then, as if sensing everyone's confusion, did ScrewGum pat the girl's shoulder affectionately and said to everyone:
"Please allow me to introduce you to Miss Prometheus, the hope and future of the Omnic world, the heiress and agent of the will of many mechanical planets including Screw Star."
Following Screw Gum's introduction, not only were their thoughts gone, but everyone was frozen as if time had stopped. The only person who could move on the entire platform was Prometheus, who was lifting his skirt and bowing.
It took a long time for everyone to regain their sanity.
Prometheus? The hyperterminal mentioned at the Key of Inspiration launch event?
“The hope and future of intelligent machines”?
What kind of outrageous evaluation is this?
You know, even for Snailgrum, the omnics on other planets only describe him as "the King of Snail Star who saved the entire omnic civilization," "the powerful mechanical noble," or "the famous Snailgrum." Just how powerful and important is this little girl, seemingly human, to be described as "the hope and future of omnics" and recognized by Snail Star and several other mechanical planets?
An enhanced version of Rupert the Emperor? Who in the entire universe wouldn't be afraid of him?
Just when everyone was on high alert, fearing the omnics were about to pull off something awful, this "hope and future of omnics" suddenly floated into the crowd, embraced the space station's most influential figure who had just crossed half the universe to save a beautiful woman, and said in an inorganic voice with a hint of sweetness:
"Long time no see, Dad. Prometheus's new body, do you like it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the huge platform suddenly fell silent, and only the human heartbeats and the electronic bells of the intelligent machines could be heard.
What? dad?
“The hope and future of Omnics” is actually that guy’s daughter?
How was it born? With whom? Can humans give birth to an omnic?
No, my brain isn't enough! Quick, key to inspiration, key to enlightenment, come and help me understand this situation!
Not to mention the other onlookers, even Jiang Yan himself was frozen in time by Prometheus's "surprise attack".
I don't intend to default on my debt, so there's no need to do this in public...
What do the people of Xianzhou think? What do the people of the Black Tower Space Station think? What do the Omnics think? What do our friends across the universe think?
However, now that things have come to this, Jiang Yan certainly couldn't deny it on the spot, which would hurt his "daughter" who had helped him countless times. He could only gently stroke Prometheus's head and said softly:
