Endless flames and fire instantly destroyed most of the passages between the training room and the outside. The noise spread almost throughout the entire space station. The staff members who were busy working all raised their heads and looked at the shaking space station hull.
“Ahhh! Enemy attack, is it an enemy attack!?”
"It's on fire! It's over! People from the Defense Department, come and put out the fire!"
"Ahhh, help, help, I don't want to die yet..."
Soon screams and cries were heard in the corridor. Countless staff members were frightened and panicked, and they vented their fear by shouting loudly, which made the crowd panic even more.
"Ahem, my dear, he's having a great time..."
Bai Jun stood in the training room that was reduced to ruins by the skyfire. Although he had gathered most of his energy in time before the skyfire completely erupted, a trace of cold sweat still slid down his forehead when he saw the fallen staff members nearby and the tragic situation around him.
——It would be better to pack up and run away now, right?
....................
"You idiot! What the hell were you doing in the training room? Are you trying to destroy my space station by making such a commotion?! You look just like... just like someone from the Idiot Club!"
After calming the commotion in the space station, Heita angrily grabbed Bai Jun's cheeks, pulled them hard to both sides, and severely ravaged his face.
"I'm sorry, I have no intention of making excuses. You can punish me however you want. I will bear all the consequences personally."
Bai Jun sat on the chair guiltily, allowing Heita to vent his dissatisfaction on his face.
"That's easy to say, but do you know what you've done?"
But even this could not calm Black Tower's anger. You know, the repair work she and Screw Gum were doing was going well, but because of the shaking of the space station, a component in the simulated space equipment was accidentally installed incorrectly!
And what made her most angry was that Bai Jun actually hid such a powerful treasure and didn't show it to her!
Very angry, very angry, very angry...
"Ahahaha...Ms. Heita, please calm down. Mr. Bai Jun didn't do it on purpose, did he? Besides, no one was injured in this incident. I just checked the damage to the cabin, and the 12% damage rate is estimated to be repairable in a day or two. Please calm down for a moment."
Ester kept speaking well of Bai Jun, whispering in Heita's ear with a wry smile.
The daily operation and maintenance of the space station are funded by Ester herself, so let alone such a small matter, even if the space station is collapsed, as long as there are no casualties, it is really insignificant in her eyes and there is no need to get angry.
"Yes, yes, Ms. Heita, don't be angry. Bai Jun really didn't mean it. Everyone in our training room saw it. Besides, judging from Bai Jun's expression, he definitely seems to be repenting!"
Alan, whose arms were covered in bandages and whose face had some burns, nodded as well, with a smile on his face that showed he didn't care at all.
The scene at that time was still vivid in Alan's mind. He could see that Bai Jun's behavior was not what he wanted, and he reminded them in time, otherwise the injuries he suffered would have been much more serious than they were now.
As for other things...just send them all, buddy, who cares?
Heita raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect that Ester and Alan would both plead for Bai Jun. In such a short time, had their relationship with Bai Jun developed to such a good level?
"Humph, I'm not angry. How could a genius like me get angry over such a small matter?"
Heita looked down at Bai Jun again and found that he was sitting obediently on the chair, staring at her with his blue eyes blinking in shame. His delicate and flawless face looked as innocent as a little rabbit.
This look gradually made Heita's anger disappear, and at the same time he truly understood why his relationship with the people around him improved so quickly - this man was really good-looking!
After all, humans are visual creatures, so it's understandable that they feel very satisfied when they see his handsome face.
But Heita still wanted to ask Bai Jun what exactly had caused the noise just now, but before he could open his mouth, Screw Gum suddenly reminded him:
"Heita, I'm not qualified to interfere in the affairs of the space station, but... before that, take a look at his arm beneath his left sleeve."
After hearing Screw Gumu's reminder, Heita noticed that something was wrong with Bai Jun.
"You...wait, let me see!"
Heita immediately grabbed his left arm as he dodged backwards, and after lifting up his sleeve, he saw that the skin on his arm, where the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire had been used, had been burned into a pitch-black charcoal color by the flames, with crimson lines flowing through the charred skin like magma.
Such a terrible injury made Esther cover her mouth in horror, and even Alan widened his eyes.
"This injury is nothing serious, at most I just need to rest for a few days..."
Thanks to the blessing that the power of abundance once brought him, Bai Jun seemed to be unconcerned about it.
His physique is basically the same as that of the vast majority of Xianzhou people, and his recovery ability far exceeds that of other species. Thanks to this, he is like a compatriot in the eyes of Xianzhou people, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.
"Tsk, are you an idiot? Didn't anyone teach you to take off your clothes as soon as possible after getting burned?! And you're my most precious experimental subject. You're not allowed to get hurt without my permission! Come on, let's go to my office and apply some medicine!"
Heita frowned slightly, and gently tore open the entire sleeve near his left arm. He took his uninjured right wrist and led him towards the office without giving him a chance to refuse.
“Really, there’s no need…”
"Don't contradict me! Just listen to me!"
The two figures gradually disappeared in the main control cabin.
Seeing this, Alan hurriedly followed. Ester stood there in distress, at a loss as to what to do, while Screw Gumm beside her nodded in satisfaction.
Space Station Facts: Chapter 95: I've Become a Housewife
"Sit here and don't move."
There were no sofas or chairs in Heita's office, so she had to push Bai Jun onto the pile of manuscripts on the floor and use it as a sofa.
After settling Bai Jun, Heita walked to the bookshelf, stood on tiptoe and found a bottle of green liquid without any label from the toolbox.
"It might be a little painful, just bear with it."
As he spoke, Heita poured the entire bottle of green liquid onto Bai Jun's left arm without hesitation.
Sizzle...
As the red liquid came into contact with the injured skin, a terrifying and numb sound was heard as if a chemical reaction occurred, and at the same time, a jaw-dropping scene immediately appeared on the left arm.
——Blood oozed from the dark skin on the surface of his left arm, but in the instant it boiled and evaporated like steam.
The body temperature at the wound site rose rapidly, and flesh and blood began to grow and repair. In an instant, the arm that was burned beyond recognition by the flames was restored to its original state, and even the skin returned to its original smoothness, without even a trace left.
"What a powerful potion..."
Bai Jun stared at his intact left arm in surprise, and tried to clench his fist. The burning pain in his skin and the numbness in his bones disappeared without a trace, and even the deep inside of his flesh and blood was filled with an endless stream of vitality, which made him sigh with emotion.
"This is a 120-fold diluted version of the original pulp of the rich giant tree. It's usually used as a sample for experiments. It's just average, and only someone with your physique can handle it. If you give it to Alan, he'll probably be covered in branches in less than three minutes."
In response to Bai Jun's admiration, Heita just threw the empty bottle aside indifferently and walked straight to the control center of the simulated universe, thinking about how to remove the wrong component.
"Speaking of which, how's the maintenance of the simulated universe going?"
"Soon, probably in the next two days or so. But you're so daunted to say that... If it weren't for that little brat causing trouble, the repair process of the simulated universe would have been much faster."
When this was mentioned, the anger that Heita had finally calmed down began to surge again.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you. By the way, Ruan Mei hasn't participated in the maintenance of the simulated universe these days, and hasn't come to my place. Screw Gumu and I don't have time to look for her specifically. Since you're here, why not give her the research notes? At least she, one of the founders, can understand the recent progress of the simulated universe."
She angrily threw the notebook containing the simulated universe data to Bai Jun and began to drive him away impatiently.
However, while pushing Bai Jun out, she suddenly thought of something.
"I forgot to tell you, don't try it after the simulated universe is repaired this time, at least not before I figure out your physical condition. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll attract the attention of some Star God himself. What happened to Nanook last time was just a fluke. You won't be so lucky if it happens again. It's okay for me if the space station is blown up, but it would be a huge loss if you lose me."
A look of helplessness emerged on Heita's face, as if he was regretting that he couldn't perform various tests on a good material like Bai Jun.
"What a shame! If I were here in my real body, I could still protect you. But my puppet body is powerless, so I can only resort to this last resort."
"Your true form?"
Bai Jun felt a little curious. Although he knew about the existence of Heita from the fragmentary words of the staff in the space station, it was said that she had not visited the space station for many years.
Furthermore, there are no photos of Heita himself circulating in the space station, so we can only hear about him from others. At most, we can look at the proxy doll in the space station to imagine what he looks like.
"Oh? Judging from your tone, do you want to see my true form?"
Heita crossed her arms and crossed her waist, a touching smile spreading from the corner of her mouth, clear and charming.
Just as Bai Jun was thinking about how to answer, Heita walked up to him and stood on tiptoe. However, when he found that he could not touch his forehead even if he stretched out his arms, he made an unhappy "tsk" sound and gently hit his shoulder.
"Don't think about it. The only thing I can tell you is that my original form is definitely taller than it is now, so tall that I can easily touch your forehead. As for the rest, I won't tell you, so as not to keep you awake at night."
After she said this nonchalantly, she stopped talking and immediately kicked the confused Bai Jun out of the office.
Just a few steps out of the office, Bai Jun noticed a tall and elegant mechanical figure standing in the corridor in front of the office door.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you again, Mr. Bai Jun."
He was contentedly admiring the boundless starry sky outside the window, and when he heard the movement at the door, he nodded slightly to Bai Jun.
"Hello, Mr. Screw-Gum."
After Bai Jun saw his appearance clearly, he nodded and greeted him back.
"Don't be so formal. Just call me 'you.' The Black Tower is a place where knowledge converges. Here, we celebrate the equality of thought, bask in the glory of knowledge together, and pursue common answers to our shared quest for knowledge. Our destinations may not align, but there will always be countless paths that intersect. So don't worry. Even if we're not friends, we can still call each other comrades."
It was not until this moment that Bai Jun realized where the elegance of Screw Gumm came from.
It not only exists in the face and clothing, but is also reflected in language and actions. It is probably something like temperament.
Both of them had their own things to do, so they just had a brief conversation. Then, Screw Gumu was ready to go to Black Tower's office. Standing in front of the door, he unexpectedly apologized to Bai Jun.
"I just reminded Ms. Black Tower on my own initiative. I apologize. I hope it didn't cause you any trouble."
"No, that's not the case. Mr. Screw-Gum is just being kind. I have to thank you."
Bai Jun shook his head and thanked Screw Gumu.
"Thank you for your understanding."
ScrewGum pushed open the office door, and the black tower in the distance had already fixed its gaze on him, and its subtle little eyes seemed to be telling something.
"You don't have to look at me like that, Ms. Black Tower."
ScrewGum gently pushed the lens of his right eye and explained politely:
"The emotions of organic life are like the tides, rising and falling, and they mean completely different things to different people. For organic beings intertwined with emotions, they may be a fallen leaf under the passing of seasons, the lines carved by time on each other's bodies, a magnificent thing you call emotion. Wisdom is a gift from the world, but also a blessing imposed upon it. I believe these wonderful emotions should not be missed. Perhaps only in this way can we truly understand what the heart is, Ms. Black Tower?"
"What are you talking about? I don't know, I don't understand, and I don't want to hear it. Come over and give me a hand. I just know that the maintenance of the simulated universe cannot be done without you."
Heita snorted lightly, pretended to be calm while fiddling with his hair, turned his back and stopped looking at Screw Gumu.
................
In the pitch-black room, only a single desk lamp provided a weak light source.
The pale yellow light and shadow interweave to form a gentle, haggard, and beautiful face, while in the dim intersection, heavy books are piled up one after another.
"No, the direction is wrong."
The manuscript paper was crumpled into a ball, leaving a messy trajectory in the air and rolling to the ground.
Ruan Mei stared intently at the sample in the petri dish, lost in thought for a while.
Even after three days, the power in Bai Jun's blood still showed no signs of weakening, and it always exuded endless vitality like an inextinguishable flame.
She had heard that Bai Jun's physique could withstand high concentrations of abundant energy. She thought it was a specialized adaptation to abundance, but no matter what kind of life force was put into the culture dish, the final result was only one - it was assimilated by Bai Jun's blood and then absorbed.
Never seen, never heard of...
The laws of things are always complex and moving on the outside, but simple and plain on the inside. Everything is attributed to its cause, and one line of formula can solve the confusion of all beings, and that is life.
Ever since she was old enough to understand, she has enjoyed observing the life traces of microscopic organisms, such as the rate at which slime mold devours objects; she also takes in the macroscopic world and studies the development process of the universe to date.
These are all very simple. What she wants to understand is the "essence of life", something that every individual possesses but is not aware of - whether it is the materiality of existence or the unknowable things beyond the material.
To avoid blindly following science, she cautiously questioned: Can a person's body withstand the forces brought by multiple destinies?
This question has been tested before, and the answer is naturally fantastical, because the essence of life has already indicated the attributes of destiny.
Even if there is a collision between destinies with overlapping concepts, the end result is that the broader destiny will swallow up the narrower one...
Fate merge?
As this idea came to mind.
A large amount of information and intelligence up to today flashed through my mind at a rapid speed.
To endure high concentrations of abundant energy in a human body, to eliminate the power of the Rift and suppress the star core, while possessing the qualifications to attract the star god's glance and opposition, and the characteristics of embracing other destinies in the blood -
Ruan Mei peeled away the external disturbances like a coordinate axis, exploring the most fundamental and beautiful form of existence of life. There might be only one answer, and she could only think of one "life form" that was enough to make her admit that it was unpredictable - that was the Star God.
Ruan Mei's right hand, which was tightly gripping the brush, trembled slightly. She looked at the ink in the inkstone as if she was gazing at the shimmering surface of water. Every time ripples appeared on the water, the answer reflected in front of her eyes would change.
Everything can be explained. If this inference is equivalent to the truth, it can explain Bai Jun's characteristics.
Could it be? Could it be? Could it be...?
Ruan Mei finally came up with a miracle that was extremely absurd and fanciful, which had never been witnessed by anyone, but actually existed in history.
The existence called "Sun" became the last piece of the puzzle, and Ruan Mei finally realized the "truth".
