Will Real-Life Cake Cats Turn Out Weird?

Ruan Mei, who had been interrupted, didn't seem to mind. Instead, she smiled and nodded, ending the conversation and looking at Lin Shuang again.

"Just go to Herta's office. Speaking of which, I've heard Herta mention your name before. Herta asked you to test the Simulated Universe, and I heard you achieved some good results."

Ruan Mei's smile widened. The new information about Propagation that Herta sent her yesterday happened to be exactly the information she was researching recently.

Of course, that's not important. What's important is that Lin Shuang is a good person in the general sense.

This is the assessment given by Herta.

As long as their code of conduct is followed, they are easy to get along with; offering them compensation will get you to ask for their help.

For Ruan Mei, whether others are easy or difficult to get along with has never mattered.

However, it cannot be denied that even Ruan Mei's experiments could not be completed by her alone forever.

For example, the unhatched 'Emanator' beneath the Space Station.

Ruan Mei has many ways to control it, but if she wants more accurate data, Ruan Mei own methods are not so suitable.

Therefore, a collaborator skilled in violence is essential.

Although it's unclear how Lin Shuang detected the anomaly beneath the Space Station.

But it's okay, it's a small matter and doesn't matter.

Herta commented that Lin Shuang's strength was considerable and should be well-suited for his upcoming experiments.

Without lingering on the Platform for long, Ruan Mei, led by Asta, went directly to the Herta's office.

Then he left Lin Shuang there and ran away on his own.

Seeing that the Herta Puppet still hadn't reacted at all, Lin Shuang was wondering if she should just leave.

However, Ruan Mei took the initiative to speak:

"Herta and I reviewed yesterday's test results. I'm curious, what did it feel like when you first experienced the ascension to godhood from a first-person perspective?"

They themselves had also done a simple integration and test of updates like the Swarm Disaster.

To put it simply, it's just a process for the developers themselves.

But without a doubt, no one has ever had such an experience.

On the contrary, Lin Shuang's entry triggered this unexpected surprise.

Ruan Mei came here specifically today, partly to ask Lin Shuang how she felt.

"Hmm... a very subtle feeling..."

Lin Shuang didn't try to hide anything from Ruan Mei.

I came here to help with testing, and since the developers are asking for user feedback, I can't keep anything from them.

As Lin Shuang spoke, Ruan Mei frowned slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Lin Shuang's feelings confirmed some of Ruan Mei's previous thoughts.

This is especially true in terms of increased understanding of the concept of 'Path' itself.

The moment she heard it, a multitude of wild and imaginative ideas flooded Ruan Mei's mind.

Normal Pathstrider Path, even those who are Emanator, only have a superficial understanding of their own Path.

As for the rule that 'Path' exists as it should be.

On the contrary, few people have studied it.

After all, this topic is somewhat like studying why 1+1 equals 2.

It seems simple, but it's actually quite difficult to provide a solution.

But judging from Lin Shuang's experience...

It is likely that the connection between the Aeon and Path is much closer than Ruan Mei herself imagined.

It's a pity that this simulation didn't allow Lin Shuang to experience the moment of truly ascending to godhood.

If only we could have more data and experience from that single moment.

It's possible that Ruan Mei's understanding of the Aeon might take a significant leap forward.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

According to Herta, Lin Shuang's ability to hold on until that point was already far beyond expectations.

And it seems there are no aftereffects; he's full of energy again after a good night's sleep.

Ruan Mei couldn't ask for anything more.

"... It was a very interesting experience. Thank you for telling me this, dear."

Ruan Mei gave Lin Shuang a gentle smile.

Even Lin Shuang was stunned by what she saw.

It was indeed this gentle and graceful demeanor of an Eastern beauty that was incredibly alluring to her.

No wonder some people in my past life said that Ruan Mei's character design was the most beautiful in the game Star Rail.

Although reason told Lin Shuang that Ruan Mei was aloof and that such a smile was mostly just part of social politeness.

But Lin Shuang's sensitivity made her remember that smile without hesitation.

Pity.

I wish she were truly a gentle and beautiful woman.

Who would have thought she was a mad scientist?

Lin Shuang slightly averted her gaze, then coughed lightly:

"Ahem... Miss Ruan Mei, that's a bit embarrassing to address you like that."

Hehe~

Ruan Mei raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled softly.

"After all, you're a partner invited by Herta, and you've achieved results so quickly. I think you're very important."

"Then thank you for your high regard, Miss Ruan Mei."

Lin Shuang quickly composed herself to avoid revealing her thoughts to Ruan Mei.

"To be honest, there are some things I'd like to ask you, Lin Shuang."

345

Chapter 345 Will the real-life Cat Cake become bizarre?

Ruan Mei noticed that Lin Shuang seemed a little shy about using the term "darling".

They quickly changed the title to their given name.

"What's up?"

"I wonder if Lin Shuang is aware of the recent resurgence and disappearance of the Jianmu Xianzhou Luofu?"

Lin Shuang blinked. Why did Ruan Mei suddenly bring this up?

For Jianmu?

However, only a few people involved knew about their acquisition of the Jianmu, and Luofu deliberately kept the news secret.

It's impossible for Ruan Mei to know.

But.

Even something like the Jianmu would be attractive to Ruan Mei.

Lin Shuang pondered these things, but politely declined Ruan Mei's offer.

"I was in Luofu that day, so I do know a little about it. But is Miss Ruan Mei also interested in the Abundance creations?"

"Of course I'm interested. Who wouldn't be interested in a gift from the Aeon? Even a genius would be curious about it."

In particular, the power of the Jianmu happens to overlap with Ruan Mei's research.

Ruan Mei was naturally interested.

The reason she studied Propagation was not because Propagation was easier to study than that of other Aeon.

Instead, it's not just that Propagation insects are easy to find, but also that no one will criticize her no matter what she does with them.

Other Aeon are different.

The miracle of Abundance is indeed not hard to find.

But they're either being watched by the Xianzhou Alliance or by the Denizens of Abundance.

Offending either side will cause trouble.

But if there really is an opportunity to find out...

Ruan Mei certainly didn't want to miss it either.

If her curiosity about the Jianmu had been mentioned on the Xianzhou, she would have been invited to the Department of Civil Affairs for tea by the Cloud Knights.

But we're on the Space Station now, in the territory of geniuses.

He's probably made this kind of outrageous statement countless times.

However, faced with Ruan Mei's question, Lin Shuang could only answer with denial:

"It's a pity, I don't know the details of how the Jianmu disappeared. However, Jianmu root system still remains in Luofu."

Lin Shuang truly didn't know why such a large Jianmu could be taken away so easily by that Card.

Moreover, it was completely intact, with no trace of its original aura escaping.

"Really? What a pity. I thought I'd be lucky enough to witness the splendor of this Abundance bounty."

Ruan Mei didn't ask any further questions.

Although, from the current perspective, Lin Shuang is actually quite suspicious.

This includes the Destruction and Power of Abundance she intentionally or unintentionally unleashed during her test of the Simulated Universe.

Coincidentally, it wasn't just the Jianmu that disappeared from Luofu recently.

The Emanator of Destruction also vanished without a trace.

Luofu Fu has not commented on the matter of the Destruction Emanator at all.

What's even more interesting is that Lin Shuang is actually a Pathstrider path of The Permanence.

It even displays the path of The Permanence of Dragon Form.

Ruan Mei felt that Lin Shuang must have used the power of the Jianmu in some way.

Perhaps the remains of the Jianmu are in her hands.

However, Lin Shuang seems quite wary.

Thinking this through, Ruan Mei did not continue the conversation.

Just then, Asta delivered the pastries and tea she had prepared for Ruan Mei.

Asta remembered Ms. Ruan Mei's preferences and would bring some with her every time she came to the Space Station.

I guess I've gotten used to it.

Although eating in Herta's office is somewhat awkward.

Asta put her things down and left.

Ruan Mei readily handed a portion of the pastries on the plate to Lin Shuang:

"This is a flavor I've never tried before. It smells quite nice, why don't you have a piece?"

"Thanks."

Lin Shuang took the small plate containing the pastries and took a small bite.

However, when it eats, it is enveloped by a force, preventing it from coming into contact with its digestive system.
