Every Action Has an Equal and Opposite Reaction-and So Do Feelings

One of the things she has been doing all these years is exploring the boundaries of knowledge about the universe and then expanding them.

Although Gwen caused the Simulated Universe data to crash every few days, he also brought her a lot of valuable data.

Those data points, which exceeded their understanding and knowledge of the world, were like the sweetest honey to the Herta; no matter how bitter or tiring it was, they could not refuse them.

After leaving the Herta's main control room, Gwen saw Ruan Mei with slightly furrowed brows, writing something down with a pen and paper.

"Did the Herta kick you out again?"

Hearing Gwen's footsteps, Ruan Mei stopped writing and looked at Gwen with a half-smile.

"What do you mean by 'rushing'? I'm just respecting her work and providing her with the quietest and most spacious working environment possible."

Gwen pursed his lips, correcting Ruan Mei's choice of words—

Even if he didn't listen to whether Herta was laughing or not, it was easy for him to sense the other party's emotions, which were not deliberately hidden. He naturally knew that Herta's dark expression was more of a casual joke.

"Whatever makes you happy."

Faced with Gwen's sophistry, Ruan Mei did not refute him, but simply smiled gently and waved the record in her hand at Gwen—

"Let's take a look at the simulation results."

"Um."

Gwen strolled over to Ruan Mei's side, took the record without ceremony, and sat down directly next to her, inhaling the faint fragrance as he began to examine it.

"In this simulation, your adaptability to the Preservation Destiny has improved significantly once again..."

As Gwen watched, Ruan Mei sat beside him, softly explaining the simulation to him.

In the Simulated Universe battles, Gwen is not only accelerating the assimilation of his powers and applying his Destiny teachings through combat and practice, but he is also exploring the power of Destiny—

Even though it's just a simulated world, the Simulated Universe created by the four geniuses can largely mimic the real world, helping people advance in their destiny.

What behaviors and emotions are more likely to resonate with one's destiny? How exactly does one progress in their destiny?

These were all things that Gwen and Ruan Mei were very interested in.

During this period, Ruan Mei remained on the Space Station, primarily engaged in these tasks—

After each simulation, Gwen would summarize and analyze the data, and offer suggestions to help Gwen improve his destiny.

If Gwyn hadn't known that she was also using his simulation data to increase her understanding of her destiny and even the world, Gwen would almost have thought he could call her his coach.

"Will you try to use those abilities again with the power of destiny?"

Okay, I understand. I'll try it out in the next simulation after the Herta is repaired.

After carefully listening to Ruan Mei's final summary and suggestions, Gwen nodded thoughtfully and smiled in agreement.

Although this might enrage the Old Woman Herta, it is indeed something worth trying.

He had tried Ruan Mei's suggestion before, but it had always ended in failure.

This kind of operation, which is roughly equivalent to porting a PC game to a mobile device for enjoyment, is extremely difficult.

Moreover, Gwen's previous understanding of fate was far too superficial to be able to do it at all.

But now, with two geniuses from the Genius Club by his side to advise him and help him advance his destiny, this matter has great potential.

"That's about it. I've sent you the details. Remember to study them carefully when you get back and try to understand them thoroughly. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions."

After discussing with Gwen for a while, Ruan Mei revised her plan a couple more times and sent it to Gwen with a smile.

"Yes, I'll try my best."

Gwen nodded, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he raised his hand and gently wiped Ruan Mei's eyes.

Gently stroking the surface with his fingers, trying to glean some information from it like Ruan Mei, Gwen looked at her helplessly and said—

"How long has it been since you last rested?"

This is the detection ability that Ruan Mei used on him before, and now he has learned it.

According to his interpretation, Ruan Mei has not had a proper rest for half a month.

"It's alright. For me, it's normal to not take a break for a while when doing experiments."

Seeing the slight dissatisfaction in Gwen's eyes, Ruan Mei chuckled.

"It's possible, but unless absolutely necessary, it's best to make your life more structured."

Gwen said helplessly, taking the report and pen from Ruan Mei's hands, and said sternly.

"Now, go back to your room and rest. Don't stay up any longer."

"Oh...

All right."

Seeing that Gwen seemed to be treating her like a child, Ruan Mei smiled gently and did not resist, letting Gwen take her back to her room.

"Then I'll rest now, see you tomorrow?"

Inside the half-open door, Ruan Mei smiled and said goodbye to Gwen.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Gwen smiled and nodded, and only turned to leave after Ruan Mei closed the door.

During their time on the Herta Space Station, Gwen and Ruan Mei's relationship progressed rapidly—

At least they appear to be like family, or even a close couple...

In the room, after a quick wash, Ruan Mei lay obediently on the bed, hugging the thin blanket covering her. The pure white sheet contrasted beautifully with her fair and delicate skin, but it could not conceal the indifference in her previously gentle and beautiful eyes.

The rapidly escalating relationship between the two was naturally orchestrated by her...

At least part of the reason is...

Although she could still sense a slight aloofness and distance beneath Gwen's approachable exterior, Ruan Mei believed that given more time, she would be able to achieve the desired effect.

Having witnessed Gwen's rapid progress over the past few years, and knowing the immense power within him originating from beyond this world, Ruan Mei was well aware of Gwen's potential and chose him as the subject of her insane experiment.

Chapter 881 The effects of force are mutual, and so are emotions.

Just as she said when they first met, Gwen was a perfect experimental subject, capable of meeting the most ideal experimental conditions.

However, this was not a small experiment that could be easily replicated, and her goal was to reach that position herself.

Therefore, she needs to ensure the success rate of the experiment, and that she can gain the experience she wants after it is successful.

To achieve this goal, Gwen's cooperation is needed.

Based on her years of understanding of Gwen, Ruan Mei chose to use her emotions to bind him.

Based on her understanding of human nature and emotions, Ruan Mei that she could do this and gain the experience she wanted after Gwen's success.

Yes, that's right, that's it...

After a brief review before bed, confirming the effectiveness of her Soft Approach Tactic against Gwen, Ruan Mei slowly closed her eyes and took a short nap.

During this time, I've been busy with Gwen's affairs, trying to prevent him from taking a wrong turn in his life. There's been no news of Ruan Mei at all. Now, it's good for her to rest for a while...

On the other side, Gwen walked easily through the Space Station, humming an unknown tune.

He could clearly see Ruan Mei's deliberate attempt to get close to him.

But...

As we all know, forces act in pairs.

With Ruan Mei's Emotional Value appealing gentle words and truly effective assistance, it was hard for Gwen not to increase his affection for Ruan Mei.

However, unlike the protagonist in a "chasing husband to the crematorium" scenario, Gwen did not take everything for granted and also gave Ruan Mei corresponding positive feedback.

While Ruan Mei was making steady progress, wasn't she also being influenced by Gwen, undergoing some subtle changes?

Back in his room, Gwen picked up the documents Ruan Mei had sent and began to study them carefully.

As dinnertime approached, Gwen also began to busy himself preparing dinner.

It wasn't anything fancy, mostly just everyday dishes, but it was only enough for two people.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I had a lot of work to do today, so I'm a little late..."

Asta opened the door with practiced ease, went inside to change her shoes, and then walked to the dining table.

"Thank you for your hard work, Station Master Asta. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Gwen laughed.

In order to increase her understanding and trust in Gwen and to meet the conditions he mentioned so that she could personally condense the Gwen, Asta has been coming to Gwen's place every day for dinner and to listen to Gwen stories.

However, Gwen stopped eating after only taking a couple of bites of dinner.

"What's wrong?"

Sensing that Gwen mood, Asta immediately put down her cutlery.

"Unsurprisingly, something went wrong with the Stellaris Train."

Gwen spoke, he tapped his head with his finger.

Is it serious?

Do we need support from the Space Station?

Asta instantly understood, realizing that Gwen was referring to the Chat System in the Head—

Not long ago, she also gave up her phone and chose to Soul Binding to the Chat System.

"The situation is a bit urgent, and there seems to be something unexpected going on. I'll go check it out."

If needed, I will ask the Herta for help.

Gwen stood up as he spoke.

"Of course, it's highly unlikely to reach that level."

"That...

Can I come along and take a look?

Upon hearing this, Asta breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing Gwen's expression as if he was about to depart, a thought struck her, and she quickly asked—

"After all, relying solely on verbal descriptions is ultimately somewhat insufficient."

And didn't you say before that a battle fought with a shared hatred of the enemy could also unleash that kind of power?

"Um...

Then you should prepare your equipment and eat something while you can, so you don't faint on the battlefield.

Upon hearing Gwen did not refuse, but merely offered some instructions.

"I'll go over and take a look first. When the time is right, I'll bring you over, but you have to be careful and don't be careless."

"Okay, I definitely won't cause you any trouble."

Asta nodded vigorously.

The next moment, Gwen's figure vanished without a trace. Asta, who had already tested it several times, was not surprised. She simply took out her phone and asked Arlan to help her organize her equipment.

"What's the situation now?"

Which side needs support the most?

With a blink of an eye, the person beside him had transformed from the Charming Pink-haired Acting Station Master into a stern-faced Great Guardian. Gwen questioned him while simultaneously listening intently to the sounds coming from afar—

It was Cocolia, not March 7th, who sent him the letter asking for help.

The Nameless might view the perilous situation Life and Death as a unique form of Trailblaze, but Cocolia, as the Commander of an Army, had to ensure the overall situation remained intact and could not take unnecessary risks.

"An urgent report just came from the rear: the Fragmentum Monster have begun attacking the rear area from other directions, but their strength is limited and they are not a threat."

In contrast, the sudden influx of a large number of elite individuals at the front lines caused even greater trouble—

With Automatons and artillery support on both sides, things were a bit easier.

However, the vanguard unit at the very front, consisting of those few Outsiders, had been surrounded and cut off from the main force, putting them in a very dangerous situation.

Cocolia succinctly explained the current situation.

"Given their previous performance, if we allow the Fragmentum Monster to rampage unchecked, they may not be able to hold out."

"Okay, I understand."
