Trust in Ruan Mei's Wisdom.
If you can't find anyone to hang out with, you'll just have to find some fun on your own.
Lin Shuang, on the other side, was unaware of March 7th's thoughts.
Even if I knew, I wouldn't really care.
If March 7th can really find Ruan Mei in front of him, that would be a testament to March 7th's abilities.
What's going on with Lin Shuang, right?
Lin Shuang walked to the Central Elevator, then swiped her card to go down to the Seclusion Zone.
I was originally going to use Ruan Mei's card yesterday, but after we finalized the agreement to have her as my assistant...
In the Laboratory, somehow Ruan Mei managed to upgrade Lin Shuang's access permissions again.
Access to the Seclusion Zone and that Laboratory was unlocked for Lin Shuang.
As the elevator descended, the light grew dimmer and dimmer.
Passing through the familiar, dimly lit cabin, Lin Shuang easily found Ruan Mei was checking the surveillance footage in the Laboratory.
"You've arrived, Lin Shuang."
Ruan Mei smiled and nodded at Lin Shuang.
"The experimental subject is developing very quickly; perhaps the data input yesterday triggered this strange reaction. Maybe it really will exceed my expectations?"
Since the data involved came from the Insect Emperor, Ruan Mei couldn't guarantee that the calculation results for the experimental subjects would be error-free.
The only thing that can be guaranteed is that the test subject's lifespan will absolutely not exceed one minute.
"... Hopefully it won't be too outrageous. I don't want to actually face a Propagation Emanator, even for just a minute."
Lin Shuang sighed beside her, but Ruan Mei didn't mind. Instead, she handed over a map:
"Starting from the Cultivation Pod, here and here—in this area, insects are already swarming out."
"To be honest, I'm curious, where did these little bugs come from? Didn't you only cultivate one Emanator?"
"That's the peculiar thing about Propagation: powerful insects can give rise to Swarm, even if that Path is now fragmented."
Ruan Mei pointed to the cocoon full of life.
Even after being divided and Propagation, when a powerful insect is born, Swarm will inevitably follow.
Lin Shuang blinked, looking at the passageways and cabins covered with red dots.
I can't help but complain:
"Herta probably regrets agreeing to lend you the venue."
Hehe~
Ruan Mei chuckled, stood up from her chair, and walked towards the passageway first.
"Alright, let's go."

Chapter 355 Believing in Ruan Mei's Wisdom
At the same time--
Master Control Zone.
On March 7th, they quickly found Asta and inquired about Lin Shuang's whereabouts.
Asta was surprised to find, through the Space Station's database, that Lin Shuang's ID Card had unlocked the elevator in the Seclusion Zone.
"... Let me see what's going on?"
Asta muttered to herself as she brought up the Space Station's logbook.
As for the Seclusion Zone, Asta had no idea what was going on.
The whole story between Herta and Ruan Mei will certainly not be told to Asta in detail.
Asta only knew that there should be something inside the Seclusion Zone, but Asta didn't know exactly what it was.
"Let me check the logs... Lin Shuang's permissions were granted yesterday, but who granted them?"
The logs did not record who unlocked the permissions.
Asta initially thought it was the Herta's doing, but she didn't see any records.
Or rather, the records were erased.
Asta didn't even know which device the command came from.
That's outrageous.
Asta quickly considered many things.
She had already explained the matter of the Seclusion Zone to the Herta earlier.
Based on Herta's attitude, it's speculated that the segment might have been used for something related to the geniuses' projects.
Therefore, Asta always acted as if that section didn't exist.
I've never paid any attention to that place.
Lin Shuang wouldn't have run off without a reason.
Every action has a reason.
Considering that Ruan Mei arrived at the Space Station yesterday.
Moreover, given the obvious interest Aster had in Lin Shuang, Asta suspected that this matter was related to Ms. Ruan Mei.
But let's confirm it anyway.
Asta that thought in mind, Estád sent a message to the Herta.
Although Herta usually ignores people, it takes good care of this little girl who was brought back to help manage the Space Station.
As long as I'm not busy with experiments, I'll take care of it whenever I have free time.
And coincidentally, Herta has been relatively free these past two days.
"Lin Shuang's ID? Did Ruan Mei grant me that access? Never mind, what does it have to do with me?"
Because that area was designated for Ruan Mei to conduct experiments, she was also granted access to Ruan Mei.
Asta didn't give it to her, then it must have been Ruan Mei who gave it to her.
Having figured this out, Herta lost interest in the matter.
[Herta: It should have been given by Ruan Mei. If you're interested, go down and take a look.]
[Herta: Descended]
As for the possibility of interfering with Ruan Mei's experiment, Herta had not considered it at all.
After all, they've already dragged a reckless man like Lin Shuang into being their assistant, so what does Ruan Mei need next?
If we want to study Lin Shuang's characteristics, Simulated Universe is sufficient.
The reason they specifically called Lin Shuang down is definitely because she's a good fighter.
If a fight is about to break out, sending two more people down won't make a difference.
She believed in Ruan Mei's wisdom.
On the other hand, they received such a casual reply from Herta.
Asta couldn't help but give a wry smile.
Is it a lack of care, or a lack of trust?
However, I still recounted the incident to March 7th.
After listening, March 7th, whose mind was blank, scratched his head:
"So... we can go down with them?"
"That's what Ms. Herta said."
Asta didn't really want to go down, after all, Ruan Mei was a genius on par with the Herta.
It's best not to disturb them if they're conducting an experiment downstairs.
But March 7th isn't a member of the Space Station, and Ms. Herta said we could go down and take a look.
Asta, of course, would not say anything like preventing March 7th from going down.
On March 7th, his eyebrows danced with excitement, clearly wanting to follow and see what was going on.
The Seclusion Zone —that name alone sounds like something out of an adventure.
Moreover, this was an adventure personally approved by the Space Station's owner.
As Nameless, it's perfectly reasonable for curiosity to drive one to go down and take a look, right?
"Hey, can I go down and take a look?"
"That's possible... but please be careful, Miss March 7th."
Asta stated frankly that no one had gone down to that place for some time.
Even after the Space Station was attacked, they only sent engineering robots in to conduct self-inspections; no one actually went inside.
Who knows what might be inside?
At the same time.
Lin Shuang, who had left the Laboratory with Ruan Mei, had already gripped her Greatsword.
Her clothes also transformed into the Valkyrie Armor.
Provide sufficient protection for the Lin Shuang.
Ruan Mei walked beside Lin Shuang, ahead of them was a dimly lit cabin and a huge circular corridor.
"Be careful, detection data shows that a large number of Swarm Insects have gathered in that circular passage over there."
Ruan Mei looked at the closed hatch and spoke up to remind her.
Lin Shuang nodded, looking at the marked red dots, and asked curiously:
"Will these Swarm increase indefinitely, or will they stop Propagation after reaching a certain limit?"
"Before the Insect King is born, the Swarm will reproduce freely until the Insect King is born. After the Emanator is born, the number of Swarm will be Emanator."
Lin Shuang couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.
Ruan Mei is truly unafraid that these insects will go out of control and storm the Space Station.
As the two were talking, the hatch in front of them was started and slowly opened.
A dark and narrow passage was revealed ahead.
At first glance, the dimly lit passage was empty, showing no signs of any Swarm Insects presence.
But just then, a strong gust of wind, accompanied by a piercing screech, rushed towards Lin Shuang!
"Careful!"
Lin Shuang could only vaguely sense that in that empty place, something created a subtle sense of disharmony with the surrounding space.
Following his fighting instincts, he took a step forward, and with surging flames clinging to his Greatsword, he swung it down!
Sizzle--
The hard carapace was shattered, and the Swarm Insects, roughly the size of a millstone, which had been concealing its form, revealed itself, spewing forth branches and leaves and howling in agony.
A strange, foul stench, accompanying the deaths of the Swarm Insects, spread from the ground.
Lin Shuang frowned slightly; the insects in the game did indeed have the ability to become invisible.
However, while you can spot some flaws in the game, in reality, you really can't see anything with the naked eye.
