Star Rail Researcher

Star Rail: As a Researcher, I Joined the Chat Group. Author: Xianbei Xiaodi

Chen Mu had transmigrated into the world of Star Rail and become a proud researcher at the Space Station.

Just as he was about to make a name for himself among the stars, a Chat Group suddenly invited him to join.

Tokisaki Kurumi: "Immortality, Instant Transmission, controlling the world, destroying planets... and you're telling me this is science?"

Kochou Kanae: "Um, may I ask if science means the science I know... How could it be this terrifying?"

Gotoh Hitori: "A-a researcher... Are the requirements for becoming a researcher this high nowadays? Trembling.jpg."

Hoshino Ai: "Don't explain everything with science! This isn't science at all, you bastard!"

Chen Mu looked at the group chat and threw his head back with a long sigh, feeling that everyone simply lacked experience.

Though it seemed somewhat exaggerated from their perspective, this really was science.

Believe in science.

Star Rail Researcher

The vast universe glittered with countless stars.

An incomparably magnificent spacecraft rested silently within that boundless sea of stars.

This was Herta Space Station, renowned even throughout the universe.

The owner of the Space Station, Herta,

was a member of the legendary Genius Club.

Through her own intelligence and talent,

she possessed unparalleled fame and influence throughout the universe.

The entire Space Station had come into being because of Herta and had become famous because of her.

Countless researchers across the universe, drawn by admiration for her, had willingly joined and come here of their own accord to become members of the Space Station.

At this moment,

in the Main Control Section of the Space Station,

a young man emerged from a laboratory.

For a moment,

everyone's gazes turned toward him.

"Mentor Chen Mu, have you finished your research?"

"Mentor Chen Mu, you've worked hard."

"Mentor Chen Mu..."

At the sight of the young man, respectful and fervent greetings rang out from all around.

The young man smiled and nodded in response, greeting them back.

Only after reaching his room did he finally relax.

Lying on the bed, he raised a hand and stared at his palm, his eyes unconsciously carrying a trace of nostalgia.

By now,

he had been in the world of Star Rail for quite some time.

That was right.

The young man was not from this world.

He was a Transmigrator from Blue Star named Chen Mu.

After playing the speedrun version of Star Rail's second ending, choosing to remain at the Space Station rather than board the train after clearing it, he had somehow inexplicably transmigrated into this world.

By now,

he had become a genuine researcher at the Space Station.

And when it came to research,

Chen Mu possessed a talent so absurd that even he found it difficult to believe.

At first,

he had nothing to do with either the Space Station or Herta.

He had been adopted by Asta's family as a child. After Asta ran away from home and came to the Space Station, Chen Mu followed her here as well.

He remembered that when he had first transmigrated, he had only been three years old.

If his current nominal older sister, Asta, had not happened to pass by and taken in the orphaned him back then, Chen Mu would have had to wonder whether his three-year-old self could have survived alone.

Yet for some unknown reason,

although Chen Mu was exceptionally gifted as a researcher,

he had never sensed any power of an Aeon within himself.

After spending so many years at the Space Station,

he had earned the respect and admiration of everyone there.

Even his older sister Asta, the Station Master, could not compare with him in terms of prestige at the Space Station.

That was because Chen Mu's talent and intellect were simply too astonishing, too monstrous!

One had to know,

even Herta herself was often amazed and shocked by Chen Mu's performances.

And he was only sixteen years old.

Herta herself looked young, like a little girl, but she had actually reverted to youth. Who knew how old she truly was? That was the accumulation of age.

Yet Chen Mu's intelligence and talent were no inferior to Herta's.

How could such terrifying talent not shock people?

When it came to Chen Mu, this anomaly,

Herta had initially found it utterly unbelievable.

If she had not repeatedly confirmed after meeting Chen Mu that he had not reverted to youth to conceal his age, and that he had no connection whatsoever to the Aeon of Erudition,

she would have considered Chen Mu someone like herself.

But it was precisely because there was no connection

that Herta found him even more remarkable and became even more interested in him.

Under Herta's recommendation,

Chen Mu had even met Nous, the Aeon of Erudition.

Chen Mu still remembered how Nous had stared at him for a long time for some unknown reason after seeing him, then, before Herta's shocked eyes, brought him into the Genius Club.

He became the Genius Club's only member unrelated to Erudition.

Of course,

unlike Herta,

aside from the people at the Space Station and the universe's top forces, no one else knew of Chen Mu's existence.

Still young, he had not publicized his accomplishments and had instead kept a low profile.

It was only that,

as time passed, it would merely be a matter of sooner or later.

"The current research project is almost complete. Hmm... What should I do next?"

"Come to think of it, considering how little Herta cares about the Space Station, with my current prestige here, should I figure out how to don the yellow robe and seize Herta's position?"

Chen Mu muttered to himself, idly letting his thoughts wander as he sought some amusement, but in the end, he merely shook his head slightly.

"Forget it. Herta doesn't care about the Space Station anyway."

Indeed.

It was like children fighting over toys.

Only taking something the other party cared about was fun.

There was nothing worth taking if they did not care about it.

Besides, in Chen Mu's eyes, the Space Station was merely that.

If he wanted to, he could find a place and casually establish a Space Station of his own with Asta.

There was no need to go through all that trouble to seize Herta's.

The reason he remained here was because of Asta and Herta, all right, and also because...

"The Star Rail storyline should be starting soon, right? Stelle should be about to be born. I wonder what the exact point in time is."

Thinking of this, Chen Mu raised his head as though he could see the void beyond the walls. A faint smile appeared on his face, carrying a subtle sense of anticipation.

After all, more than ten years had passed.

The storyline he knew so well was finally about to arrive. How could he possibly not look forward to it?

He remembered that Silver Wolf and Kafka were the ones who came to the Space Station to awaken Stelle, right?

He wondered whether he would have a chance to meet those two then...

Just then,

Chen Mu's phone suddenly rang.

When he answered, a familiar voice came from the other end. "Xiao Mu! Xiao Mu! Teacher Herta gave me a few days off. Do you want to go out for a walk together?"

"Asta?"

Hearing the familiar, pleasant voice on the other end, Chen Mu chuckled and said, "Sorry, not right now. My current research has reached a critical stage, and I'll succeed soon. So I don't have time to go out with you lately."

"Call me big sister! Big sister! Big sister! Big Sister Asta! Honestly!"

Asta's dissatisfied voice immediately came from the other end of the phone. "Come on, go out with me for a bit. How long has it been since we went out together? It's not good to keep doing research all the time. You need to relax once in a while too, don't you?"

"Fine, once I finish this research, definitely."

"You...! Damn it, if that's the case, which is more important, your research or me?!"

"Both are important."

"Cunning! You're way too cunning! I don't have such a cunning little brother."

"I've always said it too. I never wanted to be your little brother."

"..."

Listening to her sulky voice from the other end, Chen Mu could not help laughing.

If they were really going by age, he was older than Asta. Though he was grateful to her, how could he truly acknowledge Asta as his older sister?

It had to be said,

teasing Asta was quite interesting.

As for refusing Asta, it was not that Chen Mu was being heartless.

The storyline was about to begin, and his current research project truly was rather important.

He could make it up to Asta later.

Asta was easy to coax anyway.

Thinking this, Chen Mu smiled and put down his phone.

And just then.
