Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

"Okay, the "Painful and Helpless Ester" experience is over. This is how I felt yesterday! Next time something like this happens, remember to tell me in advance."

Seeing Ester's mischievous smile, Jiang Yan realized that he had been teased again. However, before he could complain, Ester leaned forward with a sweet breath, unobtrusively saying:

"Clang clang! It's time for "Beautiful and Kind-hearted Estelle" to be friends! Since it was my idea, I certainly won't leave everything to you! Come, let me see who's prepared, who's sincere, and who's just trying to take advantage..."

As she spoke, Estelle asked for Jiang Yan's shared operation rights. She stretched out her right hand and skillfully swiped it in the air, flipping through Jiang Yan's email list:

"Meir's research team... forget it. He still hasn't been held accountable for taking all the members to see the Doommon up close. Who knows what kind of dangerous experiment he'll have you do."

"Esther's research group? No, don't let her amiable appearance fool you. Her research direction, 'Personality and Shadow: An Exploration of the Psychological Influence of Cone Erosion to Astral Projection,' is quite dangerous."

"Elizabeth Watson? You'd better stay out of the Law and Politics Department's affairs for now. How can I have the nerve to ask you to help fight?"

"Wen Shiling? Who asked her to apply? Wen Mingde! Just pamper her! PASS!"

Seeing how Ester knew all about the applicants' departments, personalities, and ongoing research topics without even checking any information, Jiang Yan finally understood why this young girl was chosen by Black Tower at such a young age and appointed as the head of the Black Tower Space Station.

This is too awesome!

After a while, Esther screened all the existing applications based solely on the applicants' names. After a long sigh of relief, she said to Jiang Yan:

"Sorry, I've already marked a few reliable research groups for you. As for the rest of the guys who want to take advantage of you or the fans who want to add you as friends, I've already blocked you! If any staff members disturb your life, remember to tell me, and I will teach them a lesson."

"For our first invitation, let's visit Mrs. Hinkle's research group. She's the head of the Department of World Species, a highly respected veteran. Compared to other enthusiastic young staff members, she'll definitely not make excessive requests. With this example, it will be much easier to reject other excessive requests later."

Jiang Yan certainly would not refuse Esther's thoughtful suggestion, so he carefully looked at Schinkel's invitation letter.

Just as Esda said, the head of the Realm Species Department invited Jiang Yan not to take advantage of this hot topic or obtain some exclusive data, but because he was very interested in the changes that occurred in the rift of Yalilo No. 6 under the power of Aha.

During the Antimatter Legion's attack over a year ago, the station's greatest loss wasn't due to the Antimatter Legion's destruction, but rather the fact that, the moment the station's star core was activated, several sections of the station were permanently semi-rifted. Rift creatures constantly emerged from these sections, forcing the station to seal these sections and conduct regular clearing operations.

Not everyone has the willpower of Yalilo No. 6 to fight to the death for seven hundred years and never retreat. In just one year, the continuous erosion of the Rift and the continuous invasion of the Rift creatures have caused the space station to be troubled, and it can only keep increasing security equipment and security forces.

But how could the Black Tower Station, nestled in the depths of outer space, withstand the endless firefights? If the Rift continued to erode, even the most intensified defensive battles would eventually pierce the station, turning everyone into space junk.

Although every staff member believed that Ms. Black Tower would be able to solve this problem, even if she just asked, it would not be a big problem for the Interstellar Peace Company to rebuild a Black Tower No. 2 space station.

But every staff member also believed that until Ms. Black Tower's laboratory and collection room of rare items in the safest location of the space station were in danger, don't expect Ms. Black Tower to be interested in such a "small matter" as "losing one and a half modules."

If you want to survive, you still have to rely on yourself!

Therefore, in recent times, whether it is the Realm Species Department, the Secret Scroll Department or the Geology Department, they have all been consciously studying topics related to star cores, rifts and antimatter legions, and Schinkel is the chief person in charge of this major project, the "Black Tower Space Station Revival Plan."

The Black Tower Space Station is no stranger to Yalilo VI, a planet where most of its land has been occupied by the Rift. It has cooperated with the Black Tower Space Station in both studying the star core and searching for the Frozen Antimatter Legion.

When he heard that Aha's power had descended directly on that planet, Schinkel immediately became very interested. After confirming some information from the scientific research team stationed at Yalilo No. 6, he immediately sent this invitation letter to Jiang Yan.

The power of the Star God changes the rift?

Huh? Is there?

Wait a minute, it seems like there is!

Jiang Yan recalled that Yongdong Ridge, as a secret base sealed for the star core, should have had many scattered creatures of the rift world. However, during the etheric spirit war in which thousands of pigs rushed up the mountain, everyone rushed all the way from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, and it seemed that no one really encountered any creature of the rift world.

Did Aha transform the Rift? Or did he transform all the creatures in the Rift into Ether Spirits?

As expected of a researcher praised so highly by Estelle, he spotted the blind spot right away! This is also very important to Beloberg!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan instantly became interested and immediately opened the portable terminal and contacted Pella:

Jiang Yan (abandoning the pen): "Pera Pera, great news!"

Pera (please specify your name when providing information) "Please don't make it too big! Just make it smaller!"

Even though they were very grateful to Jiang Yan, Beloberg's savior, Beloberg's friends were also frightened by Jiang Yan's endless cruel and violent deeds.

You keep saying "big things are coming", but even funeral guests who believe in "the end of the world" can't predict it as well as you can!

Jiang Yan: "No, no, no, it's really good news. The scholars at the Black Tower Space Station discovered that the Lord of Pleasure's will descended this time, and it seems to have had some impact on the Rift of Eternal Winter Ridge."

Jiang Yan: "Originally, we always thought that the rifts were irreversible and permanent, but if the power cast by the Star God is strong enough to change or even erase them, we can think of a way to summon the Star God once or several times! If the Lord of Pleasure doesn't work, then we can summon the Mother of Stars. If the Mother of Stars doesn't work, then we can summon the Amber King. This is great news for Yalilo No. 6!"

Pella: "Only you, the Xianzhou people, would think so! Should we sacrifice you to summon?"

Faced with this kind of unawareness of the blessings that are unique to the people of Xianzhou, Pella couldn't help but complain. After calming down for a while, she replied seriously:

Pera: "This unusual phenomenon was also discovered by someone at the Beloberg Research Institute after the competition. We've already organized a survey team, escorted by the Silvermane Iron Guard, to conduct an on-site survey of Everwinter Ridge. However, as you know the environment of Everwinter Ridge, it will take at least a week to reach a preliminary conclusion."

Contrary to Jiang Yan's expectations, without sufficient data collection, how could a detailed survey like this possibly yield reliable conclusions in such a short period of time? Pera's estimated one week already took into account the significant attention paid by the Beloberg Academy of Sciences.

Jiang Yan: "This is too slow! What's going on? Are we short on people or equipment?"

Pera: "How fast do you want to go? Can you conjure up hundreds of scholars for me?"

Jiang Yan: "No problem. Send me a copy of all the raw data you've collected so far as soon as possible. I'll get you a few hundred scholars with their own equipment."

Pera: "??? Are you serious?"

Jiang Yan: "Let's not talk about it now, let's talk later!"

Pera: "??? Don't go, explain it clearly!"

Pera: "Hello, hello! Are you there? Don't log off yet!"

Without seeing Pella's last words, Jiang Yan turned off the portable terminal and said to Ester:

"Let's go. Since this is a matter of great importance to the safety of the space station, we should go today. Let's go find Mrs. Hinkle immediately."

"Huh? There's no rush. At least let me get you settled first and make an appointment for a time that's convenient for both of us..."

As a scholar, Esther had never seen Jiang Yan's pace of doing things before. When she heard that he was going to knock on the door to find someone, she was completely dumbfounded.

"What are you waiting for? This isn't a blessing. What if it's too late and the remaining power of the Star God begins to dissipate?"

After interacting with the two Masked Fools for a while, Jiang Yan began to understand this group of people:

Don't think badly of Aha in everything. He doesn't want to do bad things. It's too boring.

Don't think too highly of Ah Ha in everything. It's so boring that he doesn't want to do good things.

Jiang Yan didn't think he could understand Aha's sense of humor, but he was very sure that this guy was not a director who loved perfect happy endings. This was too un-Aha. It would be almost like giving everyone hope and then getting nothing in return.

Of course, Jiang Yan couldn't guarantee this speculation. But to convince these scholars, "no guarantee" was enough. After all, the more anxious they were, the more they proved it couldn't be guaranteed, and the more unguaranteed it was, the more anxious they became. This perpetually moving chain of worry could quickly snowball.

"Um, okay, but wait a minute, at least let me say hello in advance..."

Jiang Yan's words startled Ester. She certainly wasn't sure about the "power dissipation" claim. However, Ester felt that this guy, who was having so much fun with the Lord of Pleasure, clearly understood him better than she did. So, to be on the safe side, she quickly opened her portable terminal and initiated a call to Sinkel.

"Mrs. Hinkle? I'm Ester. Are you free now? Mr. Jiang Yan hopes to have an interview with you as soon as possible."

"...Main control section? Okay, see you later."

Under the guidance of Esther, Jiang Yan soon met Sinkel who was dealing with the boundary rift problem in the main control cabin.

Seeing Ester coming with the most sought-after figure in the space station, the beautiful lady quickly came forward. After nodding to Ester, she enthusiastically extended her hand to shake Jiang Yan's.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang Yan, nice to meet you."

"Hello, Mrs. Hinkle, it's an honor to receive your invitation."

"You're welcome. How can I help you?"

Although he was very happy that the other party accepted the invitation very readily, the other party's urgent attitude made Schinkel feel suspicious.

Jiang Yan was not good at testing and bargaining. Facing Schinkel's probing, Jiang Yan chose to break through head-on without hesitation and slapped him in the face:

"It's like this. I'm very willing to accept your request for joint research. However, how long the Lord of Pleasure's power can last is completely unknown. Data that can't be reproduced is ultimately of limited use."

"Excuse me, Mrs. Hinkle, are you interested in trying to recreate a part of that miracle with me in the rift of the Black Tower Space Station?"

Oops, I'm being haunted by a genius! : Chapter 153 Partners

After hearing Jiang Yan's words, not only Sinkel, but even Ester beside him widened her eyes.

Wait, what are you doing? You're calling on the gods just because you disagree with something?

What if we completely destroy this place? You know this is Lady Black Tower's territory? She'll definitely... okay, she doesn't care whether it's destroyed or not, she'll definitely agree.

But aren't you walking the path of "preservation" and your household registration is "hunting"? Can you also invite the Lord of Pleasure? Can something like summoning a deity be cross-disciplinary and unrestricted?

Wasn't the incident with Yalilo No. 6 done by you, not the Masked Fool?

Seeing the shocked and suspicious looks on their faces, Jiang Yan quickly explained:

"Don't get me wrong, it wasn't me. It was another Masked Fool. After the incident on Yarilo 6, thanks to some kind of divine blessing, our relationship has improved. If I persuade him, he probably won't object to trying again on Yarilo 6."

"With the blessing of God, we have a good relationship and will not object... Are the Masked Fools you mentioned the followers of "Joy" that I understand?" After hearing Jiang Yan's words, Sinkel asked in disbelief.

It's not like there aren't people in this universe who befriend the Masked Fool, but the term "obeying" has nothing to do with the Masked Fool, even if Aha himself comes to do it. After all, if you obey Aha's orders, it's against the way of "joy" and it doesn't count as obeying Aha's orders.

How on earth did this guy do this? Does this make sense?

However, this fact was so easy to verify that there was no point in refuting it. After a brief eye contact with Ester, Sinkel slowly spoke:

"If there is such an opportunity, it would naturally be a good thing. However, the space station is, after all, the property of Madam Black Tower. It concerns the Star God, so we must report to Madam Black Tower before we can reply to you. Please forgive me."

Jiang Yan was not surprised by Schinkel's response. Although Black Tower usually didn't care about the space station, she would not tolerate the researchers who were staying in her territory giving her a big job without even saying hello. Stuffing her into a hibernation capsule and kicking her out of the space station would be the least of her worries.

However, when Schinkel led everyone directly to the black tower doll on the second floor, this minimalist reporting style scared Jiang Yan a little. He couldn't help but ask:

"Wait a minute, are we going to meet Ms. Heita now? I mean, although I don't know much about scientific research procedures, wouldn't it be better to submit a written application and make an appointment for this matter? If Ms. Heita is busy with experiments, wouldn't that be a problem?"

Jiang Yan never expected that the boomerang would come so quickly. If it weren't for Esther's calm expression, Jiang Yan would have thought that this was the other party's revenge for his sudden visit.

Facing Jiang Yan's question, Esther simply waved her hand and said with a wry smile:

"Don't worry, we're all used to it. Madam Black Tower never reads the documents sent to her by the space station. She asks us to report directly to her puppet if we have any questions. If she's interested, she'll respond. If not, don't waste your time. Of course, in most cases, no one dares to disturb Madam Black Tower."

Jiang Yan was truly amazed by the two people's depressed but matter-of-fact attitude.

So, she can see you all at any time, and it is extremely difficult for you to say a word to her?

Wow! You are indeed scientists, your mentors, bosses, and graduate students are simply too humble! You have driven back to the Amber Period.

However, since this group of people were willing to worship the Black Tower as a god, Jiang Yan, as an outsider, naturally would not say any more nonsense. With a lot of complaints in his heart, he quickly went to the second floor and saw the Black Tower puppet in standby mode.

This was Jiang Yan's first time seeing a doll modeled after Heita's childhood. Aside from the deliberately accentuated inhuman features at the joints, the doll itself was practically human. Its delicate face, in particular, completely shattered Jiang Yan's concept of beauty. If I could buy one and put it on my desk, spinning around every day, I'd buy it at any price!

Just as Jiang Yan was daydreaming, he saw Sinkel approaching the Black Tower puppet and said respectfully:

"Ms. Black Tower, Mr. Jiang Yan has proposed collaborating with the space station to conduct a summoning ritual for the Lord of Pleasure within the Rifted portion of the station. This will test the use of the Star God's power to alter or reverse the Rifted process. What are your thoughts on this?"

Discarding any politeness or explanation, I tried my best to convey the part that interested Ms. Heita in just a few sentences. This was the valuable experience left by the few personnel who had successfully reported in the eight-year history of the space station:

Ms. Heita has no patience to listen to any nonsense, and she doesn't need ordinary people to explain anything to her. She abandons meaningless eloquence and leaves the results to the value of the matter itself.

A moment later, just when the three of them thought that the report had failed and that Ms. Heita was completely uninterested in it, the puppet's lifeless eyes suddenly became lively. It completely ignored Sinkel and Ester in front of it, and looked directly at Jiang Yan, saying in an extremely arrogant tone:

"Is that you, little brat? Summoning the will of the Star God? Very courageous! If you can do it, I will reward you."

"The damaged compartment? No problem! Ester, have those guys at the company renovate the space station and give him the damaged compartments to play with!"

"Huh?" Estelle was startled when her name was suddenly called. Modifying a space station in space wasn't like renovating a house on Earth; how could it be that easy? One huge mistake and everyone would become space junk, not to mention the horrific cost, manpower, and time required.

If I were to ask for such a big plan myself, who would approve it? Who would I ask for approval?

Although she understood that Madam Black Tower never liked to argue, this matter was too big, forcing Estelle to hesitate and speak:

"black......"

Before she could speak, Heita seemed to have lost interest in her and Sinkel. He took two steps forward, looked Jiang Yan up and down, and said with a hint of excitement:

"You little brat, your physique is really strange. Would you like me to do some research on you?"

This was Jiang Yan's main purpose for coming to the space station, but Jiang Yan certainly would not accept this identity of "being studied", so he refused without hesitation:

"What are you studying? The balance of destiny? I have my own way of doing that."

"Yes, you have some ideas. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been twisted into a monster by the intertwined destinies." Heita nodded and said.

"But don't get too complacent. I don't know how you manage to maintain such a fragile balance, but as your power grows, it's only a matter of time before you become a bomb."

"Why?" Although he absolutely believed in his sister, Jiang Yan was still curious about Heita's very certain tone.

"Why? The balance of power isn't achieved by matching, don't you understand?" Looking at Jiang Yan's puzzled look, Heita said impatiently:

"Forget it. I'm interested in you now, so I'll just humor you and explain it in words you can understand."

"Well, when you take a step forward on the road of destiny, your power doesn't just increase by one step. Instead, it gradually increases as you progress along the road of destiny, from one step to ten steps, to a thousand steps, to a hundred thousand, or a million steps. Later on, each step forward will cause a drastic change in your power. The reason you're able to balance your power now is simply because you're sufficiently weak and are constantly consuming it with precision."

Having said that, Heita glanced at Jiang Yan's left hand and said calmly:

"When your power becomes a hundred or a thousand times greater than it is now, and one power surpasses the sum of all the others, and even your life form changes, what will you rely on to maintain balance? Even though the Immortal Boat's people are strong, how many can escape the demonic body?"
