Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

If it weren't for the Didi-Didi service provided by the Star Train, perhaps everyone would have just arrived at the planet Tophet.

If it weren't for the temporary deployment of standby fleets from all corners of the universe and the emergency intervention of jump nodes, perhaps everyone would still be sighing in despair at the planetary defense system of Tophet.

If it weren't for the precise positioning provided by the Youth Cloud Mirror, the needle-in-a-haystack search might have already alerted the enemy.

If the airborne team hadn't risked their lives to rescue them, the fleets that were afraid to take action might still be arguing with the Yonghuo Residence, or even be killed.

All these rare conditions came together to create such a "hero saving the beauty" scene that was admired by the whole universe. How could Estelle not be grateful?

Ester's gratitude was immediately met with warm applause from the audience. However, everyone was not looking for her gratitude, but rather wanted the banquet to end right away.

Gratitude? Of course you are! As long as you don't make an official announcement on the spot about your love for us, that would be the greatest gratitude to us!

However, their hopes were doomed to be dashed. Estelle quickly continued:

"I know that Miss Silver Wolf is still wanted by the Interstellar Peace Company. As a token of gratitude for everyone's refraining from taking action to save this celebration, please allow me to divide Miss Silver Wolf's bounty of 8.5 billion credits equally among you all. Consider it as if you've already captured her once, and my grandmother released her because she saved my life. Please don't be offended. Thank you."

After saying that, Estelle transferred a huge red envelope of 8.5 billion credit points to the accounts of everyone attending the thank-you party.

Although there weren't many poor people among the powerful people who could attend this celebration banquet, compared to the people in the Interstellar Peace Company, how many of them were not poor?

The red envelopes worth hundreds of millions of credits instantly livened up the atmosphere. Only Silver Wolf looked unhappy.

Do I need you to pay for my safety? I want to leave, who among these people can stop me? Isn't this just disgusting?

But the request to "praise me as your savior" was made by Silver Wolf himself. If he turned against me on the spot, wouldn't it be equivalent to losing directly?

You scheming fellow! Just wait and see how I'll mess things up for you!

However, Ester did not continue to provoke Silver Wolf, but continued:

"I must repay Miss Silver Wolf for saving my life, and of course I must repay you all for saving my life as well. I heard that after I was kidnapped by that Underworld Lord, Jiang Yan organized this rescue operation for me. I am deeply touched by his concern. However, I was the one who was rescued, so it is naturally me, not him, who should repay you all. My great-grandmother and my parents specifically told me to repay you all well, so please rest assured that I will "buy" the Key of Enlightenment and the Key of Inspiration that you all want from him as soon as possible. Please rest assured."

Ester's words instantly made the eyes of the group of people asking for the key become more subtle.

Buy? Can you buy this thing with money? How much is it? I’ll buy it wholesale!

Why can't we buy it, but we can buy it by showing your parents? Have you met your parents?

How do I buy it? Do I use my dowry? Young people these days are really good at having fun!

How could Jiang Yan understand Ester's roundabout declaration of sovereignty? Hearing her words, he thought she was being polite and immediately responded:

"How could I possibly ask your family to pay? I invited everyone and gave me this honor. Even if they're not doing me a favor, I have to appreciate it! It's just a few keys. Give me the materials and I'll make it for you first."

This attitude of not treating oneself as an outsider at all instantly made everyone look at Huang Quan and Yinlang.

However, the "Nothingness" messenger made no comment on this, and just stared blankly at the talented candidate as usual, as if satisfying her eyes was all she wanted.

The star core hunter and her "daughter" just stayed beside the genius candidate. Although their actions were still intimate, they had no reaction to this kind of stealing in front of their eyes, which surprised the onlookers.

What's so good about this guy? How can he tolerate this? Is it enough for one to just satisfy his eyes and the other to just lust after his body?

Stationmaster Esther even managed to defeat three such powerful enemies at once. You can't judge a person by his appearance!

------

Meanwhile, in the Black Tower's office.

Geniuses are gathering offline for a rare occasion to discuss unknown topics

"Hi, Screw Gumu, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The Black Tower Doll, who was chatting with Ruan Mei, saw Screw Gumu coming and greeted him warmly.

ScrewGum bowed slightly and responded:

"It's nice to meet you, Black Tower. Logic: The reunion is coming sooner than expected."

"If I hadn't heard from Ruan Mei that you were coming, I would have thought you were going to restart your differential universe. Why? The partner I found is so easy to use?"

"The fate of the omnics has since taken a new turn. Ruan Mei, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude for your generous sharing."

Contrary to Jiang Yan's imagination, the one who paid the price for the implantation of mechanical cells was not Ruan Mei, but Screw Gumm.

Evolution is the eternal pursuit of the omnics, and getting rid of the anti-organic equation has long been the greatest wish of the omnics. Ever since they met on the spaceship, Screw Gum has been thinking about the adaptability of Jiang Yan's power.

But unfortunately, even as wise as he was, he couldn't think of how to persuade a human who was highly valued by the Xianzhou Alliance to try mechanical ascension. He could only settle for the second best and chose to cooperate with Prometheus.

However, what ScrewGum didn't expect was that the plan that had been abandoned actually found a chance again through Ruan Mei's experiment.

Although Prometheus is good, it is of no help to the anti-organic equation. If it cannot solve this problem, even if the tribe becomes more powerful, they will eventually become puppets, right?

So ScrewGum did not hesitate to use mechanical cell technology and an extra large sum of money to successfully "buy shares" in Jiang Yan's body from Ruan Mei.

Faced with ScrewGum's politeness, Black Tower seemed a little impatient and got straight to the point:

"Alright, Ruan Mei's vision really helped this time. I have to admit, this little guy is very useful. He can constantly trigger the star god's glance in reality... I can't wait to have him test the simulated universe."

"Stephen doesn't want to get involved and just abstained from voting - fine, I respect everyone's lifestyle, but he won't have the chance to participate in this decision. Be happy, we can welcome new members later."

"I'm looking forward to what kind of sparks of thought this collision will bring." Snailgum had a very good impression of Jiang Yan. After all, for an intelligent machine, the unexpected was a nice surprise in a monotonous life. Jiang Yan, who worked hard all day long, was very much in line with Snailgum's aesthetic, especially when Jiang Yan was a unique specimen.

Black Tower, who hated trouble the most, listened to the conversation between the two and asked:

"Let me get straight to the point. Since you, ScrewGum, have agreed to give Ruan Mei the opportunity to slice through the first slice of history, we must consider how to deal with a simulated Star God. Once you've gathered the dimensional data, I'll transfer the previous Star God data."

"Under normal circumstances, we can freely join the research topics we want, but in the era of the universal insect plague, without sufficient power and bonuses, the experimenters cannot survive at all, let alone collect any data."

"Ruan Mei, you're the one cultivating the Star God's body. Are you sure there won't be any major problems? I can back up the data in advance, and the equipment isn't a problem, but there's only one of that little guy, and finding another won't be easy."

Facing the Black Tower's question, Ruan Mei thought for a moment and nodded slightly:

"I believe in him."

"I also believe that he won't be scared away by bugs. No one can deny the secrets of the Star God. Not even Zandar, nor this little fellow." Heita nodded, then asked:

"But if this little fellow is so hard to replace, how do you plan to fish Taiz Yulos out?"

"As usual, ponder and plan the development of species, patiently cultivate and water it until it takes shape in a myriad of threads. This is the principle of cultivating the universe. As long as we can restore the process of the insect tide rapidly spreading across the universe and then fading away, Taizi Yuros will have a high probability of appearing." Ruan Mei said calmly.

"You mean to let your assistant survive the insect swarm and even break through several dimensions?"

Heita was quite surprised by Ruan Mei's optimism about Jiang Yan. Even Heita himself couldn't guarantee that he could escape unscathed from the insect swarm. After all, even the Eight Insect Kings weren't necessarily inferior to her in strength, let alone the endless swarm.

"I believe him." In response to Heita's doubts, Ruan Mei simply repeated this sentence calmly without saying anything else.

Black Tower wasn't at all concerned about Ruan Mei's confidence. After all, in a simulated universe, as long as the data was saved in time, death wasn't a problem. At worst, she could die a few hundred times and then figure out how to optimize. So, she quickly turned to a genius who wasn't there and asked:

"Steven, it's up to you to create the Star God Shrine you mentioned."

After a long silence, a weak voice was heard:

"Ok."

With these words, the other three geniuses were completely relieved.

Neither Heita, Ruan Mei, nor Screw Gumu have ever underestimated this peculiar genius who is more like a part-time worker in a fruit shop than a genius.

It was thanks to this "genius among geniuses" that he was able to encapsulate the blessings of almost all the star gods in the simulated universe.

As for social phobia, it is nothing compared to his ability.

After arranging all this, Heita clapped his hands:

"Okay, that's all we can do. Next, we have to see if our new member can live up to our expectations."

"The Universal Insect Plague, Taiz Yuros, is truly something to look forward to!"

The fourth volume is finished, congratulations!

Stay tuned for Volume 5 - Oops, I'm being haunted by the Simulated Star God!

Oops, I've been haunted by a genius!: Postscript to Volume 4 and Hot Questions in the Comments Section

The fourth volume is finished, congratulations!

Amidst the chaos, Xiao Jiang finally succeeded in gaining a place in the simulated universe research team by relying on his huge imagination and research value.

This is not an easy thing. These geniuses may seem honest, gentle, polite, or even socially averse, but these are just social shells. The door to their hearts will never be open to unqualified people. Even if you get to know them more deeply, you will only see the scenes "outside the door": unscrupulous kings of wisdom, fanatical seekers who don't understand human hearts, and aliens who use politeness to build barriers to make it impossible for others to approach their hearts.

In the world of Bengtie, genius is not a common term, but a group of monsters that only exists in eighty-four parts of the universe's long history. It is the embodiment of the Way of Wisdom in reality.

How can such beings be judged, measured, and speculated upon by ordinary human standards? Without sufficient wisdom and power, how can one engage in equal trade and communication with them?

Therefore, I have been trying to show their extraordinary sense of differentness and their pride that does not need to be expressed in words. I hope that this volume and the next one can write 30% of their charm and satisfy everyone.

Well, it’s time for the hot questions and answers in the comment section:

1. The combat isn't exciting enough, and the Key of Knowledge is a mess.

You can't just rely on fighting to gain intellectual power. Different destinies must have their own ways of gaining knowledge, and that's what we call a path.

The path of knowledge is inherently stingy, even in reality. Even if high school math doesn't suit you, it's useless to find ten teachers to tutor you. If you can't do it, you can't do it, let alone the path to becoming a Star God.

If there is a key to this hopeless fate, even if the power is not strong, it is enough to make countless people who follow this path do it regardless of the consequences.

So, please forgive me, the way of breeding will not be so "literary".

2. I hope Xiao Jiang will evolve into different dragon forms according to his various destinies, just like in the previous book.

There will be a dragon form, but not right now. Sci-fi is different from the fantasy of Teyvat, and playing with just the physical form is too low a limit. Rest assured, there will be more interesting ideas.

3. Old problems, speed up updates

I've recently hit a bottleneck and I'm also very distressed...

But the only thing I can guarantee is that I have been working hard to update more every day. After all, everyone wants to make more money.

Well, in the next volume, Xiao Jiang and Xing will go into the simulated universe together, into the era of the Universal Locust Plague and the First Imperial War, seeking the power of reproduction and wisdom in the war, so stay tuned.

If you feel the story is good and want to continue reading it, please feel free to share and recommend it. Thank you for your support.

See you all at the end of Volume 4!

Oops, I've been entangled by the simulated star god: Chapter 224 The fisherman gains the advantage

Just when the geniuses decided to formally invite Jiang Yan to start the simulated universe plan again, the atmosphere of the celebration party of Estelle's rescue team gradually became heated.

Jiang Yan, who originally attracted countless people to make friends with him because of the Key of Enlightenment and the Key of Inspiration, became the one that attracted representatives of many forces to rush to get close to him after this battle.

By becoming friends with this guy, wouldn't that mean I'm pleasing the Interstellar Peace Company, the Star Core Hunters, the Immortal Boat Alliance, and the "Nothingness" Envoy at the same time?

Even if we can't become friends, it's good to ask for some tips on picking up girls that can fill even a black hole!

Who wouldn't want a girlfriend who casually hands out 8.5 billion credit points in red envelopes, a hacker girlfriend who can easily change her credit point numbers, or a black hole girlfriend who can nearly cut an entire planet in half with a single blow? If you had even one of those, why would you bother running field work here?

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yan was surrounded by them with their glasses raised.

Faced with all sorts of small talk about futures indices, technological progress, trade fluctuations, and interesting humanities stories, he, who had almost no experience in this kind of cosmic social scene, could hardly respond. He was extremely embarrassed and could only rant inwardly:

You all represent your own factions, but I don't! Why should I care about this? Can't we just talk about something more interesting, like martial arts and the power of destiny?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan quickly looked at Silver Wolf and Prometheus beside him with a pleading look.

Help! Request off-site assistance!

Unfortunately, Silver Wolf, who believed he had completely fought back against Pink Hair's provocation, had no intention of interacting with this group of people. Facing Jiang Yan's request for help, he ruthlessly pixelated himself on the spot and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a sentence full of gloating in his mind:

"Like a hero saving the damsel in distress? Serves you right!"

Although Prometheus was very obedient and helped Jiang Yan collect the answers and information she needed, she was only one year old. Even if she had powerful computing power and soul, how could she, who was still inexperienced in the world, have the ability to sift through the information?

In a blink of an eye, Jiang Yan was overwhelmed by various information bombs of "network-wide news".

"That's enough, that's enough, I'll do it myself!"

Faced with this kind of database-smashing behavior, Jiang Yan, whose brain is not a supercomputer, had to stop Prometheus's filial piety with a frown on his face.

Fortunately, just when Jiang Yan's business smile was about to freeze, Esther, who had thanked all parties in turn, came back to rescue him and helped him deal with the guests who came to meet him. He was only responsible for smiling, responding and raising his glass.

Raised as the heir to the family since childhood, Esther's manners and interactions certainly couldn't compare to Jiang Yan, who was raised happily by Tingyun. This girl, who apparently only enjoyed stargazing, could easily handle any topic, earning Jiang Yan immense admiration.

This kind of communication ability, even among the group of vixens in Tianbosi, only my sister and a few others have it! With such a big shot as a mouthpiece, why worry about social failure at dinner parties?

However, as they chatted, Jiang Yan suddenly felt that everyone's gazes began to become strange again, constantly moving back and forth between him and Ester.

Why not ask a good friend to be your mouthpiece?

Jiang Yan didn't understand what this kind of "mouth replacement" meant in a formal social occasion, but being the focus of such attention, he still instinctively felt that something seemed wrong. After quickly raising his glass to deal with it, he fled to the only peaceful haven in this banquet - the corner where Huang Quan was.

"It seems that your knife strike really scared them!" Jiang Yan smiled and raised his glass to clink with Huang Quan.

"Aren't you afraid?" Huang Quan asked in surprise.
