As a Star Rail Researcher, I Joined the Chat Group

As Asta spoke, she also noticed the Nichirin Blade not far away.

"Huh? Is this a sword? Or a saber? Xiao Mu, when did you start playing with this? This sword... is it some kind of antique?"

"If you come out to play with me, Xiao Mu, I'll buy you a nice one, no matter how expensive it is. How about it?"

Asta ran over, picked up the Nichirin Blade, and said with great interest.

"No thanks. I'm not short on money, and besides... isn't all your money with me anyway?" Chen Mu chuckled, tapping Asta on the forehead to remind her.

"Then just use my money to pay!" Asta replied as if it were only natural.

However, even with the conversation at this point, Chen Mu still hadn't agreed.

Asta also realized that this research might truly be important.

Because under normal circumstances, Chen Mu would have already agreed.

Asta asked curiously, "Xiao Mu, what are you researching this time? It's actually this important?"

Hearing this, Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and replied:

"You could say it's... Space Teleportation."

Chapter 10 Space Teleportation

Space Teleportation.

If put in terms of a game.

It is essentially the Space Anchor used by players.

This was the research Chen Mu was conducting, and it was also the main reason he couldn't accompany Asta.

Now, the official plot of Star Rail was about to begin.

The existence of Space Teleportation was essential.

But who could have imagined?

Space Teleportation, something taken for granted in the game.

In the reality of the Star Rail world, aside from the few remaining ones left behind by the Trailblaze Aeon, it was practically non-existent!

Since it didn't exist.

Chen Mu naturally had to research it himself.

After all, once the plot began, if Chen Mu wanted to do anything without Space Teleportation, it would be far too inconvenient and he would miss out on too much fun.

Chen Mu would not allow that.

When Asta heard Chen Mu's words, the expression on her face was stunned, filled with surprise.

She finally understood why Chen Mu hadn't agreed to go with her this time...

"Alright, although I can't accompany you out to play, if you're interested, you can come with me to see my new research. It just so happens that the research is nearing its end, with only the final tests remaining," Chen Mu said to Asta.

Asta asked in surprise, "Eh? Really? Is that okay?"

Chen Mu replied, "Of course. It's not like it's a classified secret."

Asta said, "Hehe, alright then! I'll accompany you, Xiao Mu, to witness the birth of yet another world-shaking piece of research!"

Chen Mu couldn't help but chuckle at her words.

World-shaking?

That was hardly the case.

After all, it was just something that could be seen everywhere in the original game.

Thinking this, Chen Mu didn't say anything more and led Asta toward the Laboratory.

Along the way, the researchers at the Space Station couldn't help but pause their steps when they saw the two, revealing knowing smiles on their faces.

From an outsider's perspective, the two were a perfect match.

There was no need to even mention Chen Mu.

As the Station Master of the Space Station, Asta was not only beautiful and young, but she was also a young lady of high status with a hint of adorable, mischievous cunning.

She could be considered the ideal type for many people.

The two paid no mind to the others, chatting and laughing all the way until they arrived at the Laboratory.

And after arriving at the Laboratory...

The atmosphere at the scene instantly turned solemn; the air itself seemed to congeal, and the two of them instinctively quieted down.

No one present spoke; only the sound of keyboards clacking echoed continuously.

Chen Mu approached the lead supervisor, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "How are the preparations coming along?"

"Lord Chen Mu?"

The man shuddered, snapping back to reality. He hurriedly stood up and greeted him respectfully.

And this single voice.

It seemed to trigger a chain reaction.

Everyone paused, one by one turning their gazes toward Chen Mu.

"Lord Chen Mu!"

"Lord Chen Mu!"

"Lord Chen Mu!"

Everyone looked at Chen Mu with excitement, their eyes filled with fervor and worship as they rushed to greet him.

After all.

As researchers, they knew deep down just how legendary and powerful the man before them truly was.

Even Herta back in the day couldn't compare, could she?

It was no exaggeration to say.

Chen Mu was a god in their eyes.

By comparison.

To these people, Asta, despite being the nominal Station Master of the Space Station, was hardly worth mentioning.

"Lord Chen Mu, you've arrived," the lead supervisor said.

Chen Mu first nodded at everyone with a smile, then looked back at the lead supervisor to ask again, "Well, how are the preparations? We should be in the final stage now, right?"

"Everything is ready! Lord Chen Mu! We can begin the final human experimentation at any time!" the lead supervisor replied excitedly.

Chen Mu was not surprised; he nodded with a smile. "Good, then prepare to begin the experiment!"

The supervisor nodded, his face unable to conceal his joy.

After all, if they succeeded, another great feat would be accomplished right before his eyes; how could he not be excited?

In an instant.

Everyone began to bustle about once more, their faces filled with excitement.

Asta, who was standing to the side, leaned in toward Chen Mu and whispered, "Xiao Mu, are you guys already at the final stage? Does this mean you're about to succeed?"

"That's right," Chen Mu replied with a light chuckle.

"Then why are you acting so calm!!!" Asta said, feeling a bit frantic and unable to help but complain.

You have to understand.

Space Teleportation.

That is the power of the Trailblaze!

Ever since the Trailblaze Aeon Akivili fell, this kind of power has become incredibly rare!

And now... it had actually been researched and developed by Chen Mu?!!

Realizing this.

Asta felt her heart racing, filled with excitement.

How could the person who actually did it be this calm?!!

Is the power of an Aeon so insignificant in your eyes?!!!

"Ahem, it's nothing, right? It's just an ordinary Teleportation Array," Chen Mu replied, rubbing his nose.

It was something you could see everywhere in a game; how could it not be ordinary?

Upon hearing this, Asta glared at Chen Mu.

Ordinary, my foot!!!

"By the way, Xiao Mu, I heard you guys say earlier that only the final human teleportation experiment is left. Let me be the test subject!" Asta said with great enthusiasm.

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment and replied, "If an accident occurs, there is a certain level of danger involved. Aren't you worried?"

Asta said, "Huh? Even if I didn't believe in myself, how could I not believe in you, Xiao Mu? It's perfectly fine!"

Asta said this without the slightest hesitation.

Her words were filled with complete trust in Chen Mu.

Chapter 11: Humans Mastering the Power of an Aeon?

Chen Mu couldn't help but laugh after hearing Asta's words.

In this world.

Asta was the only girl who would trust him unconditionally.

"Alright, since that's the case, you can come with me," Chen Mu said.

"Eh? With you?" Asta was stunned upon hearing this.

Chen Mu laughed: "What else? I was originally planning to participate in this final human teleportation experiment myself. I wouldn't want to let someone else take the credit for something that will go down in history."

Asta was momentarily dazed by his words.

She felt that Chen Mu was truly confident enough to actually prepare to participate himself.

And "go down in history"?

Although humans researching the power of an Aeon would indeed go down in history, would someone like Chen Mu even care about that? Is there any research of his that wouldn't make him go down in history?

Asta giggled, rolled her eyes at Chen Mu, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, so I suppose I'm the one taking advantage of you then."

"What's this about taking advantage? Do we really need to talk like that between us?" Chen Mu pinched Asta's little cheek and said with a smile.

Asta blushed at his words.

She had wanted to strongly condemn Chen Mu's rude behavior.

But for the sake of the many people present, she decided to spare Chen Mu some face.
