Star Rail, the Researcher Me Joins the Chat Group

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

Chen Mu transmigrated into the world of Star Rail and became a glorious 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, world manipulation, planet-destroying... are you telling me this is science?"

Kochou Kanae: "Um, may I ask if this 'science' is the same science I know of... how is it so terrifying?"

Gotoh Hitori: "Re-researcher... are the requirements to be a researcher this high now? Shivering.jpg."

Hoshino Ai: "Don't use science to explain everything! This is fundamentally unscientific, you jerk!"

Chen Mu looked at the chat group and sighed, feeling that everyone's horizons were still too narrow.

Although it might seem a bit exaggerated to them, in reality, this was science.

One must believe in science.

Chapter 1: Star Rail Researcher

The vast universe was filled with brilliant stars.

A magnificent spacecraft drifted silently within the endless sea of stars.

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

The owner of the space station, Herta, was a member of the legendary Genius Club.

Due to her own brilliance, she possessed unparalleled fame and influence across the entire universe.

The entire space station was formed because of Herta's existence and became famous because of her.

Countless researchers in the universe, admiring her presence, had voluntarily joined and come here to become part of the space station.

At this moment, in the Main Control Section of the space station, a young man walked out of a research lab.

Instantly, everyone's gaze turned toward him.

"Mentor Chen Mu, is the research finished?"

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

"Mentor Chen Mu..."

Seeing the young man, respectful and enthusiastic greetings rang out one after another from all around.

The young man smiled and nodded, greeting them in return.

It wasn't until he reached his room that he finally relaxed.

Lying on his bed, he raised his hand and stared at his palm, his eyes involuntarily filled with a hint of nostalgia.

To this day, quite a few years had passed since he arrived in the world of Star Rail.

That's 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 the Star Rail second ending and choosing to stay at the space station instead of boarding the train, he had inexplicably transmigrated into this world for reasons unknown.

Now, he had become a bona fide researcher at the space station.

Furthermore, in terms of research, Chen Mu possessed a talent that even he found unbelievable and inconceivable.

At first, he had no connection to the space station or Herta.

He had been adopted by Asta's family when he was young, and after Asta ran away from home to come to the space station, Chen Mu had followed her.

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

If it weren't for his nominal sister, Asta, happening to pass by and picking him up as an orphan back then, Chen Mu would have doubted whether his three-year-old self could have survived on his own.

Yet, for some unknown reason, although Chen Mu was incredibly gifted as a researcher, he had never sensed any power of an Aeon within his body.

Having arrived at the Space Station so many years ago, he had already earned the admiration and respect of everyone on board.

Even Asta, his older sister and the Station Master, could not match his prestige within the Space Station.

This was because Chen Mu's talent and intellect were truly too astonishing, too monstrous!

One had to understand that even Herta was often amazed and shocked by Chen Mu's performance.

And he was only sixteen years old.

Although Herta herself looked young, like a little girl, she had actually undergone rejuvenation; heaven only knew how old she truly was, given the accumulation of years.

Yet, Chen Mu's intelligence was no less than Herta's.

How could such terrifying talent not be shocking?

Regarding Chen Mu, this anomaly, Herta had initially been filled with disbelief.

If she hadn't repeatedly confirmed after meeting him that Chen Mu hadn't used rejuvenation to hide his age, and that he had no connection to the Aeon of Erudition, she would have mistaken him for someone just like her.

However, it was precisely because there was no connection that Herta was even more amazed and interested in Chen Mu.

Under Herta's recommendation, Chen Mu had even met the Aeon of Erudition, The Erudition.

Chen Mu still remembered how, after seeing him, The Erudition had stared at him for a long time for some unknown reason, and then, under Herta's shocked gaze, pulled him into the Genius Club.

He became the only member of the Genius Club who had nothing to do with Erudition.

Of course, unlike Herta, those who knew of Chen Mu's existence were limited to the people on the Space Station and the top factions in the universe; others remained unaware.

Young as he was, he had not publicized his deeds, choosing instead to keep them hidden.

Yet, as time passed, it was only a matter of time before that changed.

"The current research project is almost finished. Hmm... what should I do next?"

"Come to think of it, given how little Herta cares about the Space Station, with the prestige I have here now, should I find a way to seize the throne and take Herta's position?"

Chen Mu muttered to himself, letting his thoughts wander in boredom to find some amusement, but he ultimately shook his head slightly.

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

Indeed. It was like children fighting over a toy; there was only fun in snatching something if the other party actually cared about it. There was no point in snatching something that didn't matter.

After all, in Chen Mu's view, the Space Station was just that.

If he wanted to, he could easily find a place and build a space station of his own with Asta. There was no need to go through the trouble of snatching Herta's.

The reason he stayed here was because of Asta and Herta, and well, there was also...

"The Star Rail plot is about to begin, right? The Stellaron is about to be born. I wonder what the exact timing is."

Thinking of this, Chen Mu looked up, as if peering through the layers into the void, a smile appearing on his face, faintly tinged with anticipation.

After all, more than a decade had passed. How could he not look forward to the plot he was so familiar with finally arriving?

He remembered that it was Silver Wolf and Kafka who came to the Space Station to awaken the Stellaron, right?

He wondered if he would have the chance to meet those two when the time came...

Just then, Chen Mu's phone suddenly rang.

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

"Asta?"

Hearing the familiar, lovely voice on the phone, Chen Mu chuckled and said, "Sorry, I can't right now. My current research is at a critical stage and will be successful soon, so I don't have time to go out and play with you lately."

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

Asta's dissatisfied voice instantly crackled through the phone: "No, come out for a walk with me. How long has it been since we went out together? It's not good to be buried in research all the time; you need to relax occasionally, don't you think?"

"Fine, I promise I will once I finish this current project."

"You...! Ugh, fine! If that's the case, what's more important, your research or me?!"

"Both are important."

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

"I've said it before, I never intended to be your little brother."

"..."

Listening to the huffing and puffing on the other end, Chen Mu couldn't help but chuckle.

If they were to really compare ages, he was actually older than Asta. Although he was grateful to her, there was no way he would ever truly accept her as his older sister.

He had to admit.

Teasing Asta was quite amusing.

As for rejecting her, it wasn't that Chen Mu was being heartless.

It was just that the plot was about to kick off, and his current research project was genuinely critical.

He would just make it up to Asta later.

Besides, Asta was easy enough to coax.

With that thought in mind, Chen Mu chuckled and set his phone down.

And just at that moment.
