Stelle: "Hi! Wife!"

[Star: [Paimon]]

The next day.

Acheron woke up early as always.

Although Acheron can now sleep peacefully, his sleep time is still not very long.

The main point is that once you reach that stage, sleeping becomes something that's optional.

To Acheron's surprise, Lin Shuang had also woken up early and even brought her breakfast from the Reverie.

Good morning, Gepard, come have breakfast.

"..."

Acheron Quan walked to the dining table with a puzzled expression and sat down. Looking at the breakfast laid out in front of him, he picked up his cutlery and asked curiously:

"Do you have anything to do today? Why are you up so early?"

"There are indeed some things. The Herta invited me to test the Simulated Universe again, which means they should have already prepared the data for the Permanence."

No wonder.

Acheron suddenly realized.

"And that girl with the Stellaron inside her will be there too."

"That girl named Xing, she actually contained the Stellaron with her body, that's quite amazing."

Acheron glanced at Lin Shuang; this person in front of him was also someone who could directly utilize Stellaron.

However, to be honest, Lin Shuang used an even more magical tool to directly and stably extract the power of the Stellaron.

The girl named Xing simply contained the power of the Stellaron; according to Lin Shuang's description, she couldn't reliably utilize its power.

Therefore, Lin Shuang's methods were more sophisticated.

"Um..."

Lin Shuang looked at Acheron with a puzzled expression.

What does it mean that this guy is staring at me, nodding and smiling repeatedly?

Although Gepard's smile is beautiful, this inexplicable smile is still unsettling.

Perhaps sensing Lin Shuang's confusion, Acheron asked curiously while eating breakfast:

"What's wrong?"

"... That's what I should be asking you. What were you staring at me and laughing at just now?"

But to everyone's surprise, upon hearing Lin Shuang's question, Acheron not only didn't explain, but instead tilted his head slightly in confusion.

His gaze toward Lin Shuang was filled with confusion:

"Just now? Did I laugh?"

"..."

Seeing Acheron tilting his head, Lin Shuang was speechless for a moment. How old is this guy? He's still trying to act cute like others.

Although Lin Shuang thought Acheron was most likely unintentional, the result was that this guy was just pretending to be cute!

"You laughed, and you're even staring at me while you laughed. You're not thinking about something inappropriate again, are you?"

"I was just thinking, Lin Shuang, you're even more amazing."

Acheron glanced at Lin Shuang helplessly; how could this person always be so prone to flights of fancy?

"What aspect are you referring to as being good at?"

"Stellaron, aren't you more powerful than that star?"

"... You mean this?"

Lin Shuang pouted; she had thought they were talking about how good she was at something.

Cut--

Acheron smiled as she looked at Lin Shuang, feeling that this person was having some kind of mental exercise again.

However, Acheron wisely chose to say nothing and silently eat his meal with his head down.

Soon, the two finished enjoying their delicious breakfast.

Acheron, naturally, set off early as well.

Lin Shuang, on the other hand, was teleported to the Herta Space Station.

Upon arriving at the destination, Lin Shuang decided to greet Asta first, and then visit the Security Department to see the worker, Mount No. 1.

After circling around, they happened to run into a star returning to the Space Station.

"Lin Shuang! I've missed you so much—my precious dragon!"

The moment Xing saw Lin Shuang, her eyes lit up and she pounced on her.

Then Lin Shuang grabbed him by the collar and pulled him to a stop in place.

"I knew you were only after my dragon!"

"Hehe, how could that be? Of course I miss you a lot."

Xing shamelessly rubbed his hands together and grinned foolishly at Lin Shuang. Lin Shuang was speechless; where did he learn such a thick skin?

"... I don't know who he learned this from. Let's go find the Herta first."

Volume 1: Chapter 211 Star: "Hi! Wife!"

For Lin Shuang, the Simulated Universe test was indeed like playing a holographic game.

Xing seems to share a similar idea.

Anyway, as soon as I arrived at Herta's office, before she had even finished her explanation, I was already climbing the steps.

Xing shouted:

Let me simulate it!

Then it directly connected to the Simulated Universe.

Even Herta, standing to the side, was a little dumbfounded. She looked at Lin Shuang and asked curiously:

"This kid is actually... so enthusiastic? She even made me beg her to do the reading."

"Ha, I guess he just wants to play games."

Lin Shuang looked at Xing, who had already closed her eyes, and smiled, then asked:

"Did they add the Aeon of Permanence in this update?"

"Yes, although that annoying guy might just be doing this for fun, we might as well use the Permanence data. This time, we can choose our Path of the Permanence and Curio when we go in."

"This update took so long, is it because the new Path design is quite complicated?"

"Of course! You don't think I just randomly made up the effects of each Path's Curio, do you?"

Herta glanced at Lin Shuang first, then stopped mid-sentence.

"Never mind, you should go in and take the test too."

Clearly, Herta wasn't going to waste any more time standing around, and kept urging Lin Shuang to start the test.

Seeing this, Lin Shuang didn't say anything more, and also walked up the steps and entered the Simulated Universe.

This test didn't bring any major changes for Lin Shuang, except for the added path of The Permanence.

There wasn't much more than last time.

Of course, thanks to Xing and Lin Shuang's recent experiences, the Simulated Universe map now includes parts of the maps of Belobog and Penacony, as well as the Xianzhou Luofu.

The variety of Monster has also increased significantly, with Bella and Mount No. 1 being added to the Herta.

However, this time, Lin Shuang did not attract the attention of the Aeon.

They hadn't been seen by the Aeon for at least half the journey.

On the contrary, Lin Shuang kept choosing the Curio for the path of The Permanence.

After accumulating to a certain extent, Lin Shuang found herself gradually transforming into a dragon.

It started with horns, then Tail, and then scales on its limbs.

As they neared the end of the level, Lin Shuang even transformed into a True Dragon!

A slender, elongated body, four sharp claws, and a majestic Dragon Head.

Even without a mirror, Lin Shuang felt that she bore a resemblance to the Permanence in ray tracing.

"Wow, this is pretty good. This update to Herta has actually made me appreciate the wonders of Dragon Transformation even more."

Lin Shuang still thought that this change was something the Herta had prepared for her.

After Lin Shuang Dragon Transformation, she discovered that her sensitivity to the path of The Permanence had even increased significantly.

She even became more adept at manipulating things, as if she were born from the Permanence.

This feeling was incredibly mysterious. Lin Shuang never imagined that testing a Simulated Universe would allow her to take such a significant step forward on her path of The Permanence.

"Herta is really amazing, they can even do something like this?"

Just as Lin Shuang was feeling sentimental, Herta's voice suddenly came through.

"... Lin Shuang, Lin Shuang, can you hear me?! I didn't do this! Damn it, that bastard's data is faulty."

The Herta was never designed with the intention of directly transforming the user's image into that of a real Aeon.

This wasn't in the original design at all!

Who knows what that guy Aha, wanted to do by turning Lin Shuang into Aeon of Permanence?

"Lin Shuang, are you alright? I wanted to contact you when you were Dragon Transformation, but the system malfunctioned for some reason..."

"I'm sorry, this was my oversight. How are you feeling? Do you still remember who you are? Can you still speak?"

Herta's tone was urgent, clearly indicating that he was very angry about such a major error in his experimental project.

In particular, the problems that have arisen could jeopardize Lin Shuang's safety.

"It's alright, I'm fine. I'm Lin Shuang, don't worry, Herta, my self-perception is not flawed."

"Phew... Looks like your brain's not acting up for now. Exit here and get a checkup. Tsk, I knew that bastard couldn't be trusted."

With the project encountering unexpected problems, Herta lost interest in having Lin Shuang continue testing.

I need to check the Code carefully first.

What the hell did that bastard add to the Permanence data?!

Lin Shuang didn't covet the current feeling. With Gepard by her side, she understood that the path of The Permanence could progress steadily, and her upper limit would at least be the same as Gepard's.

So Lin Shuang was also worried that this thing from Aha might bury something for you to gnaw on.

"I understand, I'll exit now."

Lin Shuang skillfully twisted her dragon body a few times, and then, as the Herta forced her out, everything went black, and she returned to her original body.

"Thankfully, you've successfully withdrawn. How are you feeling? Are you adjusting well?"

The Herta Puppet walked up to Lin Shuang and was about to take her for a full-body checkup.

Lin Shuang followed along for a couple of steps and didn't feel any discomfort, but she just felt a little awkward.

It's like something's missing.

"It's okay, but it feels like I'm being restrained by something, it's a bit uncomfortable..."

Lin Shuang twisted her body from side to side, feeling that her body was not as comfortable as the dragon she had just been in the Simulated Universe.

"That's normal. That's a dragon that imitates the Aeon, so naturally its body feels much better than an ordinary person's. That's why I was in such a hurry to bring you back."
