Liu Bai's First Victory (Continued)

"As expected?"

Firefly nodded nonchalantly.

"Aren't you afraid?" Ruan Mei looked at Firefly, somewhat surprised by Firefly's reaction.

"Dr. Ruan Mei, are all the people you know afraid of dying?"

Firefly countered with a question.

"I guess so," Ruan Mei nodded. "Most of the people I know are still afraid of death. Their fears come in many forms, but most are the fear of not completing their research. So, what's your reason for not being afraid of death?"

"... If that's the case, I'm also very afraid of dying."

She also wanted to stay with Liu Bai forever.

"However, if there is really no way to defy fate, ten years is enough... In fact, these ten years can be considered a gift from fate to me, the 'defiant'."

"..."

Ruan Mei did not reply, and continued to examine the cracks and patterns on Firefly's body.

"Alright, put your clothes on. As for Entropy Loss Syndrome, I don't have many good solutions right now—after all, you're the only one of your kind."

Ruan Mei readily admitted her powerlessness.

Actually, there is a solution. If we dig up a hundred or a thousand individual Iron Cavalry like Firefly, we can most likely figure out a solution.

To put it simply, Entropy Loss Syndrome is a genetic defect deliberately created by the Glamoth Republic. Since it involves genes, she is confident that she can solve it as long as there are enough samples, but it will take time.

If she were to directly attack the Firefly, she feared she would turn Firefly into a wriggling lump of flesh—more importantly, she wasn't particularly interested in Entropy Loss Syndrome, a man-made genetic defect, and even less interested in the technology to create Firefly.

Otherwise, what she would do now is persuade Liu Bai to have the surgery.

Even geniuses aren't omnipotent. If they were, someone in the Genius Society would definitely want to kick out the Nous and take the Erudition's place themselves.

In fact, Ruan Mei also has to admit that she has been stumbling along the way in her pursuit, but each time she stumbles, she manages to move forward a little.

"However, if we're talking about who's most likely to inherit the legacy of the Glamoth Republic..."

"The company," Firefly answered almost without hesitation.

When she was a member of the Iron Cavalry, she didn't know anything about the company, only how to fight. But after becoming Stellaron Hunters, she realized how vast the company's influence was.

It may be bulky, but it is truly a behemoth.

Many associations are even funded by it... for example, those archaeologists.

Having money really does allow you to do whatever you want.

"Yes, the company." Ruan Mei nodded.

The company may have directly received some of the research data from the Glamoth Republic.

"However, in this environment..." Firefly with a hint of sadness.

Ruan Mei didn't say anything and left directly. Although Firefly was the last Iron Cavalry, there was nothing about her that interested her.

You can't exactly ask the clones how they were cloned, can you?

"It might be a misdiagnosis."

As soon Ruan Mei stepped out, Liu Bai, who was leaning against the wall, spoke up.

"Actually, Firefly's Entropy Loss Syndrome has not worsened in the past two months."

Liu Bai allows users to visually view the health panel.

The Firefly's condition is actually quite stable, and the Entropy Loss Syndrome has never worsened.

At first, he might have done the cooking himself (which was his credit), but now he hardly cooks for me anymore.

Tang

Could this also be related to the universe?

"Right?" Ruan Mei didn't seem to care much about Liu Bai's words. "Wouldn't that be better?"

"The problem is there's a landmine here. Even if you told me this thing is mute and can be used to pickle sauerkraut, I still wouldn't dare to do it."

"But there's no better way to handle this right now." Ruan Mei wore a gentle, detached smile. "Actually, I also want her to live. She reminds me of..."

Ruan Mei suddenly paused.

[My Memories of the Past (Light Cone)]

[Exclusive Weapon Effect: When equipped by Ruan Mei, research efficiency is increased, making it easier for her to confide in players, and the probability of conception/pregnancy is increased by 30%]

The Light Cone is exerting its force.

"What are you thinking about? Dreams?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Ruan Mei shook her head casually. "Besides Miss Firefly, there should be other research, right?"

Inside the pot, the newly built laboratory.

Although not all the scientists are in place yet, Tesla is already eager to get started.

After Nguyen Mai, who provided technical support from Liu Bai, arrived, Tesla, along with Mobius and Mei, couldn't wait to begin their research.

After a brief introduction and to find out Ruan Mei's location, the group took out their Firefly mechs.

"Liu Bai, would you like to come and learn too?" Tesla called out to Liu Bai, who was about to leave.

"Me? I don't understand your high-level knowledge."

Liu Bai waved his hand; he was past the age where knowledge could enter his brain.

"No way, I think you're quite talented. At least you understood the blueprints I explained to you last time, right?"

Tesla smiled smugly, revealing an expression that said, "You little punk, you think you can fool your teacher?"

This is the insight of a veteran educator with over fifty years of experience!

"..."

"You're just killing time anyway, why not learn something? If you're cultured, you can at least impress the girls, right?" Tesla said with a smug look. "Anyway, that's all the kind of thing young people like you are thinking about, isn't it?"

"If the lab rats could learn some..." Mobius's first reaction was actually to beat up that old bastard Tesla. What right did he have to boss my Liu Bai around?

But then I thought, if Liu Bai also got involved in this kind of thing, wouldn't they have more in common to talk about?

This was an irresistible temptation for Mobius.

Mei was somewhat curious—even a scientist as renowned as Tesla valued Liu Bai's talent, so she, a genius girl, was also curious.

Three pairs of eyes were fixed on him, with Bronya and Seele, his assistants, also looking at him with curiosity.

Ah... it's hard to refuse...

Night.

"Aba aba aba..."

"... Seele, what's wrong with the master?" Acheron looked at Liu Bai, who was being helped into the house by Seele and was almost drooling, and his expression became strange.

"According to Dr. Dr. Ruan Mei —who is also our new colleague—it's a temporary dementia caused by an overload of knowledge entering the brain, but she can still respond to the outside world." Seele looked at Liu Bai with concern.

"Dementia my foot!"

Liu Bai, who was still babbling, instantly straightened his expression, showing no trace of how he had almost drooled just moments before.

"Ruan Mei is making fun of me for skipping class. Seele, don't be so naive."

Liu Bai reached out and ruffled Seele's hair.

"Mmm~~" Seele made a slightly shy sound.

"The problem is that I have no choice but to escape. Not only did they force me to recall knowledge from high school and college, but they also tried to instill further knowledge into my brain in an extremely brutal way."

"So, you understood?"

Acheron's ability to grasp the key points is a bit too strong—in no negative sense.

"... About 70%." Bai replied after a brief silence. "The teacher explained it well, making it easy to understand."

"Really?"

Acheron clearly didn't believe it; in her mind, people like that didn't really speak human language.

Especially... Ruan Mei... oh, I mean Nguyen Mai, a member of that Genius Society.

Acheron found information about Ruan Mei in the corner of his Remembrance.

Aren't the people in the Genius Society even less likely to speak human language?

Acheron maintained a stereotype that the Genius Society treated everyone equally.

Among the people she was looking for was the original the Doctor from the Genius Society.

Even knowing that this group is loosely organized, they are still known as the "Genius Society," so it's understandable that they are stereotyped.

Under these circumstances, Liu Bai dared to say that he understood 70% of it... Even Acheron knew that this was simply a gift from heaven.

Acheron didn't seem inclined to pry, and simply said, "You need to study hard."

"..."

A subtle response.

"Alright, sir, you can leave it to me."

Acheron took Liu Bai from Seele.

Liu Bai really wanted to say that he was fine... but it was evening now.

The Acheron at night are beyond question.

Today... looks like harvest day.

"Oh... Eh! Why are you in Mr. Liu Bai's room, Miss Acheron Quan?"

Just as Seele was about to leave, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Why did she see Acheron in Liu Bai's room when she helped him back to his room at night?!

"I'm lost," Acheron said in a serious tone.

"Huh? Lost? Here?"

"Yes."

"Um... this..."

Seele wasn't entirely convinced, but Acheron's serious expression prevented Seele from harboring any doubts.

"Then, goodnight?"

Goodnight, Seele.

Squeak...

As soon as Seele closed the door, Acheron pounced on Liu Bai and pinned him to the bed.

"I... couldn't hold back anymore."

Acheron's emotional fluctuations had already begun, which means that Acheron's physical sensitivity had been constantly increasing.

The more it fluctuates, the more sensitive it becomes; the more sensitive it becomes, the more it fluctuates. For Acheron, this is a sensitive hell that will not stop until it reaches three thousand times the normal level, or until his consciousness falls into darkness.

Now that things have come to this, there's only one word left!

"War--!"

"Liu Bai, you seem to be in a good mood today?" Mobius glanced at Liu Bai.

She always felt that Liu Bai was doing something bad behind her back.

"No."

Liu Bai felt a great sense of pride when he thought of Acheron, who had soaked most of the sheets in the middle of the night, his eyes rolled back, his body covered in filth, and sprawled on the bed.

Acheron's first battle after obtaining the Light Cone was a resounding victory for Liu Bai!
