Aha, I See You!

Actually, it's about interpreting the various Path in this world.

Even when Lin Shuang was still playing games in her previous life, she never fully understood the explanations given by those who did research.

Each Path represents a complex philosophical meaning.

These things gave Lin Shuang a headache.

So even if Lin Shuang could roughly understand the meaning of Trailblaze, it would be a bit much to ask her to explain it clearly.

The meeting with Himeko went quite smoothly.

After learning about the Herta's invitation, she pointed out the Herta's intentions quite directly.

Of course, considering that Station Master Asta is here, Xing could live a worry-free life even if she stayed on the Space Station.

But it's clear that Xing isn't just pursuing this kind of thing now.

Her own affairs, Kafka's affairs, and the Stellaron's affairs were all sources of Star's doubts.

There's no way she'd want to stay here.

"Besides, we've had quite a bit of contact with the Stellaron, so if you'd like, you can always come back to cooperate with the Herta's research. There's no conflict. And I think this will also help keep the Herta a novelty for a while longer."

Himeko. Himeko extended the invitation quite naturally.

Xing nodded and accepted the invitation from the Star Rail Express.

I decided to board the Train.

"Speaking of which, how long will the Star Rail Express stay at the Space Station?"

Lin Shuang asked curiously.

In the game's storyline, the player basically just tells the people on the Space Station what they need to do, and then leaves that same day without much delay.

But realistically, Xing is probably going to the Herta now to test the Simulated Universe.

I don't know how long it will take.

I wonder if this will delay the Train schedule.

Based on what had just happened at the Herta, Himeko naturally understood what Lin Shuang meant.

She smiled and said:

"You're going to see the Herta next, right? That's alright, go ahead, I'll wait for you on the Platform. No need to rush."

After parting ways with Himeko, both Lin Shuang and Xing received urging from the Herta.

However, I chatted with Asta for a while along the way and even played with Pepe, the Space Station's Peppy.

They arrived at Herta's office.

Although it was an office, there were projected images of the Genius Society on both sides, and I didn't see any proper work desks or anything like that.

The Herta doll was waiting for them at the far end of the room.

"Oh, you two finally decided to come over."

Xing, however, said very politely:

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Alright, stop beating around the bush. A few colleagues and I have teamed up on a big project. If it succeeds, we can finally crack the ultimate mystery that has plagued us for thousands of Amber Era: the secrets of [Aeon]."

When the topic of his research came up, Herta's spirits noticeably rose.

His reaction was completely different from when he had spoken with Lin Shuang before.

And they tried to help Xing and Lin Shuang understand the wonders of the Aeon.

Among the Aeon, there were many who were once ordinary people, but inexplicably, they gained unimaginable power.

Mysterious, powerful, and silent, they are shrouded in enigma, the ultimate mystery that intrigues every researcher.

"How were they born? Why were they born? And what was the purpose of their birth? I ask you, have you ever thought about these questions?"

Herta's tone even became somewhat impassioned.

This also gave Xing a general understanding of Herta's personality.

I think about it day and night!

Xing's answer was quite firm. In any case, Xing's life could be considered to have started only today, so thinking about it now was equivalent to thinking about it since birth.

So Xing's confident answer made Lin Shuang, who was standing to the side, unable to help but smile.

As for Lin Shuang...

"I've only ever wondered why the Permanence disappeared."

"Oh? The Permanence... Wait a minute, let me take a closer look first..."

As he said this, the Herta seemed to activate some device, scanning Lin Shuang's body.

Her gaze towards Lin Shuang became subtle:

"You had something so interesting about you and you didn't tell me? Using Nihility to condense the Permanence, and then using the Permanence to fight against Nihility... How did you even come up with such a thrilling method? Tsk tsk tsk, I'm even a little envious of your body."

We couldn't detect it using the scanning device on the doll alone.

Now, after being examined with professional equipment, Herta discovered the astonishing aspects of Lin Shuang's body.

Let alone how she, a non- Sushang, embarked on her path of The Permanence.

The ability to use controlled Nihility to 'forge the body' is something that ordinary people cannot do.

That is the most dangerous form of Nihility, not a force that Preservation one's Path.

In addition, this guy also stuffed the power of the Great Heliobus and the Destruction Emanator into his body.

You're really not afraid of dying on the spot, are you?

"No, I need to update the Permanence... Maybe I can really find the secret behind the disappearance of the Permanence."

As he spoke, Herta suddenly fell into a state of self-talk.

It seems to have entered a deep thinking mode and is completely ignoring people.

"..."

Xing watched this scene, put her hands on her hips, and turned to look at the 'culprit', Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang, on the other hand, shrugged and chose to bluff her way through:

"It's not my fault, she wanted to scan it herself."

Volume 1: Chapter 175 Aha, I see you!

After waiting for quite a while, Herta was still muttering about the first update of her big project, whether it was the Permanence or Propagation.

And how should the Permanence be arranged?

"... Then what do we do?"

Xing didn't want to disturb others' train of thought, but waiting here indefinitely wasn't a good idea either, so she was unsure whether she should continue waiting.

Lin Shuang shrugged; she wasn't in a hurry to do anything, so she didn't care.

But the Star Rail Express is still waiting for Star's reply.

They really shouldn't have to wait too long.

"Why don't you tell Himeko? If there's still no movement after a while, it shouldn't be a problem to leave. Anyway, it seems like Herta will be very enthusiastic about this project for the foreseeable future."

As for Lin Shuang, she'll definitely have to see him off, but after that, she'll probably come back to experience the Simulated Universe first.

At least we need to have a fight first, that would be awesome!

Of course, this is all on the premise that the Herta can still wake up.

Lin Shuang watched as the Herta Puppet seemed to have a burst of inspiration in front of her.

To be honest, I'm not really hoping for it.

Just then--

Herta suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Shuang and Xing, who were sitting and resting on the steps to the side.

"Hey, you two, I'll keep it simple. You see this huge device? My colleagues and I created an entire virtual universe inside, just like the world we live in, only much more streamlined."

"I'm simulating the existence of the Aeon inside to study Aeon, and you two are just going in to experience that universe and find a way to attract the Aeon's attention. It's that simple."

Herta spoke, he began fiddling with the enormous piece of equipment, while simultaneously beckoning the two of them to come over quickly.

"Come and experience it for yourselves! I'll guide you inside, and I guarantee you won't lose anything; in fact, you'll receive a large reward!"

Herta stared intently at the two of them, especially Lin Shuang.

Simulating the Permanence is relatively difficult, mainly because there is indeed very little information in the world about the path of The Permanence.

They were mostly concentrated on the Xianzhou.

The Sushang) are extremely strict in their control over this kind of information.

If the Herta wants to simulate the Permanence, updating it using ordinary methods would take a considerable amount of time.

A quicker way would be to have Lin Shuang play the role of the Permanence (youth version).

Then, using the antithesis of the Permanence and Nihility that Lin Shuang had used, they attempted to construct the Permanence model using Nihility.

After that, we'll try to get some more information from Xianzhou to improve the model.

In short, there are many ideas, but whether they are actually feasible is uncertain, even for Herta.

It was only when he was thinking about this that Herta remembered that Lin Shuang was standing right next to him.

Let's just take her in for a test first and then we'll see.

And Xing, of course, went in too. She had just been glanced at by Nanook, and who knows, she might be seen again in the Simulated Universe.

The more data about the Aeon, the better.

Suddenly summoned, Lin Shuang and Xing, supporting themselves on the floor, turned to look at the Herta.

After exchanging a glance, they got up and went to the platform.

"Yes, just stand there. The machine will read your brainwaves and automatically match you to the immersion simulation system..."

Soon, after Lin Shuang stood in front of the machine, she felt a pulling sensation in her consciousness.

When he came to his senses, he found himself in a compartment of the Space Station.

Lin Shuang looked around, but Xing was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Xing? Did Herta not add a matchmaking option when they developed this system?"

At the same time, the strange sensation in her body made Lin Shuang frown, and she looked down and around.

Then he discovered that he had grown a dragon Dragon Tail burning with flames, and subconsciously touched his forehead.

Sure enough, a pair of Dragon Horns grew on the top of its head...

"Oh no..."

Just as Lin Shuang was a little confused, Herta's voice rang out:

"Don't doubt the system I created. Separating you two was intentional; you're testing different things. When you see the message, just tap the screen in front of you—"

The words "Herta" appeared in front of Lin Shuang along with a light screen.

After Lin Shuang raised her hand and tapped, new text appeared:

"Your bodies are still in the office. This is a test suit; its functions have been simplified. Try walking around first—"

Lin Shuang listened to Herta's words, tried to move around, and asked curiously:

Why did I take the form of Sushang?

If Lin Shuang remembers correctly, the Sushang doesn't just randomly produce Dragon Tail and Dragon Horns.
