A Strange Dream.

She put her idea into practice.

Once that idea is realized, she can go wherever she wants without having to worry about the journey anymore.

"Stay with me?"

Ruan Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Didn't you agree with Yomi to stay on the Xianzhou for a while?"

"Since we're already here!"

Kiana said, "That was the plan before, but... Sirin and Mei are with the Xianzhou."

She could stay on the space station for a few days before returning to the Xianzhou. In any case, after Sirin and the others finished their talks with the Xianzhou, they would also need to stay on the Xianzhou for a while.

She'll go back in a while.

Same.

But on the space station side...

She's already come all this way, how can she just leave again?

Even if Ruan Mei is very busy, she can't spend 24 hours a day in meetings with Herta others, can she?

"Then stay and keep me company for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mei said nothing more and directly asked her to stay.

"Let me give you a checkup."

It had been a while since they last met, and every time Ruan Mei saw Kiana, the one thing she always did for her was to give her a medical check-up.

"By the way, the Herta is looking for people to test Simulated Universe. Are you interested?"

"Measurement of Simulated Universe?"

"Right."

Kiana was actually quite curious about the real Simulated Universe, since this Simulated Universe shouldn't be like the levels in the game.

But...

"Let's forget about it."

Although she was somewhat intrigued and curious, she still shook her head and declined Ruan Mei's sudden suggestion.

Aren't you interested?

"I'm certainly interested in what ARuan is researching!"

Kiana explained, "But I'm using Honkai energy."

She scratched her head, looking troubled, and said, "As you know, after I use Honkai energy, I become a mobile source of infection. If I want to enter the Simulated Universe, then this Simulated Universe... will probably have a bug, right?"

Ruan Mei remained silent.

Kiana's words were not without merit.

Introducing variables means that the Simulated Universe may experience some unknown changes. Furthermore, the Simulated Universe is not yet fully complete, so if bugs occur...

That would be very troublesome.

It requires a lot of time and effort.

While curious about what changes might occur, the Simulated Universe is ultimately a Herta project.

Ruan Mei thought about it and gave up the idea of exploring it, since it would be troublesome to repair if it was broken.

Furthermore, she doesn't want to share Kiana's secrets with anyone else, but the Herta... she might be particularly interested in it.

She's involved in many fields to begin with.

"You're right."

"I probably can't help with the Simulated Universe, but I can help with other things."

"Other things..."

Ruan Mei hesitated again, glancing subconsciously towards the petri dish. In her spare time, she was studying Propagation.

However, Kiana will probably have objections.

Furthermore, Ruan Mei was unwilling to have Kiana help operate these dangerous parts.

There's nothing else I need your help with for the time being.

Ruan Mei thought for a moment, then looked up at her. "What about you? You seem to have something on your mind. Can I help?"

"What could possibly be on my mind!"

Kiana quickly denied it. Anyway, Ruan Mei wasn't holding her back, so she couldn't cheat like flipping through a book and see through all her thoughts.

She has a lot on her mind.

They were all minor issues.

Let's not waste Ruan Mei's time.

"No?"

"Of course I didn't!"

Ruan Mei frowned, not quite understanding why she denied it, but she had a solution for things she couldn't understand.

She reached out her hand to Kiana: "Put your hand here."

Kiana's smile froze on her face.

Here we go again?

Chapter 147 A Strange Dream.

"Let's just forget about it!"

Kiana instinctively put her hands behind her back, still vividly Remembrance the embarrassing incident that had just occurred.

If something like that happens again...

She was too ashamed to face Ruan Mei after Ruan Mei read some of her inappropriate thoughts.

Seeing the faint hint of guilt on her face, Ruan Mei silently withdrew her hand, not pressuring her further.

She clearly doesn't want her mind read.

But when Kiana refused Ruan Mei and saw her silently withdraw her hand without saying a word, she felt even more guilty.

"Going back and forth is such a waste of time. I actually want to try developing an ability that allows direct Teleport."

Kiana broke the silence, taking the initiative to steer the conversation to other topics, not wanting the conversation to become awkward.

Teleport ability?

Ruan Mei could understand her thoughts and felt that there was a possibility of success.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Do you have a direction?"

"There are some!"

Kiana shared the clues she had gathered over the past few days, hoping to gain insights from Ruan Mei.

Of course, it's okay if you don't find anything.

She just wanted to find something to talk about; she couldn't let the conversation just sit there awkwardly, could she?

As they chatted, Kiana quickly forgot her original intention in bringing up the topic and excitedly focused her energy on deduction and development.

And time cannot be restricted.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

It was only when Herta needed to speak with Ruan Mei, Ruan Mei had to attend a meeting, that Kiana finally calmed down from her frenzied state.

Stuck on a particular point and unable to figure out how to solve it, Kiana finally decided to put it aside for the time being, take a break, relax her mind, and then think of other ideas later.

She stayed there for several days.

He never stepped outside the laboratory.

She rarely worked this hard, and suddenly stopping from such a high-intensity schedule caused all the previously ignored fatigue and discomfort to surface at once.

My body felt like it was carrying a burden weighing hundreds of pounds.

Even though ARuan had been with her for several days without rest, she still had the energy to attend the meeting.

Kiana was deeply aware of the differences between people.

When I'm highly focused, I don't feel anything, but once I stop, the mental fatigue is unbearable.

Slumped onto the sofa where she was supposed to rest, she picked up her phone and glanced at it, only to realize that four days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Kiana rubbed her sore temples, checked the unread messages, explained her situation, and then comforted Jana, who relentlessly sent her messages every day, regardless of whether she had received a reply.

After finishing these two tasks, she closed her eyes and cleared her mind, no longer thinking about those complicated pieces of knowledge.

Once you close your eyes, you lose track of time; it might be a few minutes, or it could be several hours or even longer.

Kiana, who had finally managed to forget all that complicated knowledge and various symbols, felt as if she hadn't rested for long before she woke up again.

It's just that this clarity...

Something seems off.

In the deepest part of consciousness lies darkness, and within this boundless darkness, a golden rhombus-shaped crystal shines brightly.

That was the only light in this darkness.

Kiana didn't know why she was there, and even though she was surrounded by unfamiliar darkness, she didn't feel uneasy.

I only saw that light.

That crystal.

She felt an almost uncontrollable urge to go and find out what it was.

Is this the depths of my own consciousness?

Or where?

What is that glowing crystal?

Is it related to the Honkai 3rd... or the system?

Could it be the system itself?

Filled with doubt, Kiana finally reached the location of the crystal and saw the crystal-clear golden gem.

It was beautiful. Kiana wasn't afraid of anything unexpected happening, so she reached out her hand towards the crystal, wanting to grab it and examine it closely.

But what she didn't expect was...

Her hand passed through the golden crystal, which was not a physical object.

Kiana was somewhat taken aback.

What's going on?

Somewhat unwilling to give up, she tried a few more times, but the result was the same: the seemingly real crystal was actually just a shadow.

If we can't reach it by simply touching it, how about we try other methods?

She mobilized the Honkai energy she could control and reached for the crystal once more.

Using Honkai energy, this time she finally encountered a physical entity, rather than just a simple projection.

There was no time for surprise.

The crystal she grasped burst forth with a dazzling light the instant she held it.

Kiana quickly closed her eyes, but the sudden burst of light still stung them.

At the same time, the crystal she had grabbed in her hand, which she hadn't even had time to examine, disappeared from her grasp again.

Gone?!
