As a Researcher in Star Rail, I Joined the Chat Group

I'll let it slide this time, hmph~

Watching Chen Mu walk toward the center of the laboratory, she hurriedly trotted to catch up with him.

"Alright, everyone, let's begin the experiment!"

Chen Mu looked at everyone present and gave the order.

"Yes!"

All the researchers on-site immediately responded in a loud voice.

In an instant.

Everyone began to bustle about.

"Targeting points ready."

"Energy Transmission complete."

"Spatial Status stable."

"..."

Everyone began to busy themselves, reporting one data point after another.

Except for Chen Mu himself, everyone's face was filled with excitement and nervousness.

Even Asta was no exception.

Because this was a great undertaking! A great undertaking from an Aeon!

"Boss! Everything is ready!"

Once everything had been checked, the person in charge shouted loudly.

"Good. In that case, let the teleportation begin."

A smile played on Chen Mu's face, and he immediately took Asta's hand.

The distance for this first teleportation was not very long.

It was merely from the Main Control Section of the space station to the Support Section.

As Chen Mu's voice fell.

Under the nervous and expectant gazes of everyone present.

A beam of light appeared.

Chen Mu and Asta vanished from where they stood.

When they reappeared, they were already at the designated location in the Support Section.

Just as Chen Mu had expected.

The experimental process had gone exceptionally smoothly, and the results were an extraordinary success.

However.

Everyone in the laboratory, upon seeing Chen Mu and Asta appear at the designated location on the screens, felt an intense surge of excitement. They were trembling all over, their eyes brimming with tears of joy.

Soon.

The entire laboratory erupted in cheers.

"It, it worked!!!"

"Our research is a success!!!"

"The power of the Trailblaze Aeon, Akivili—we, as mere humans, have actually managed to harness it?!! Humans have mastered the power of an Aeon?!!"

"Incredible! This is truly incredible! As expected of Lord Chen Mu!"

"Lord Chen Mu! He is simply a god of scientific research!!!"

"..."

Suddenly.

The sound of cheering seemed to echo throughout the entire space station.

The fanatical roar was deafening.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"Chen Mu! It worked! It worked!!!"

Asta's face was filled with excitement. She threw her arms around Chen Mu, jumping up and down with joy, chattering away with a look of pure happiness and exhilaration.

Chen Mu wore a wide smile.

Although everything had gone exactly as he predicted, he felt a small spark of excitement in his heart, as if he had been infected by Asta's enthusiasm.

Today, for the space station.

It was destined to be a restless day.

Even Herta, upon hearing the commotion from the Space Station, stopped what she was doing and looked toward Chen Mu's direction, a smile appearing on her face.

"He actually succeeded. He really is something else..."

Herta muttered to herself.

As the true master of the Space Station, she naturally knew what Chen Mu had been researching lately.

Humans wielding the power of an Aeon.

It sounded simple, but putting it into practice was anything but easy.

Herta naturally understood the significance of this.

"If it weren't for the fact that the things that guy researches are so eclectic, I'd sometimes wonder if he were the reincarnation of an Aeon."

Herta shook her head and let out a soft, amused laugh.

After all, Chen Mu was only sixteen. Each of these research projects and each of these achievements was hard for even Herta, who had always been hailed as a genius, to believe.

And besides that.

There were indeed many suspicious points about Chen Mu that left Herta completely baffled.

For instance, the fact that he possessed no power from an Aeon, and the reaction of the Aeon of Erudition when it first saw Chen Mu...

It was common knowledge.

Herta would relentlessly pursue anything that piqued her interest, while remaining indifferent to anything she found uninteresting.

As for Chen Mu.

The various wonders surrounding him had truly fascinated her and kept her incredibly interested from beginning to end.

Chapter 12: Kafka and Silver Wolf's Plan

Meanwhile.

In a corner of the universe.

"Yosh, success!"

A young girl's happy voice rang out, the joy within it clearly audible.

The girl's name was Silver Wolf.

She was a cute girl with silver-gray hair and delicate features.

She was also a member of the Stellaron Hunters, a notorious organization in the universe.

"What do you mean 'succeeded,' Silver Wolf?"

Just then.

A woman with a tall figure, refined features, a hint of allure on her face, and an air of feminine charm about her.

Slowly walked into the room.

She was Silver Wolf's companion, Kafka, also a member of the Stellaron Hunters.

"A game, of course. What else would it be?"

Silver Wolf glanced at Kafka and answered as if it were obvious. After answering, she asked, "You're back, which means the mission is complete?"

"Mm."

Kafka didn't mind, nodding as she said, "However, there is another mission. Elio wants me to complete it with you."

"Oh, what mission?" Silver Wolf asked, feeling a bit curious.

"To awaken her. According to the future Elio has foreseen, now is the time for her to wake up," Kafka said with a light chuckle.

And the "her" mentioned here.

Naturally, referred to Stelle, the Trailblazer from the game.

Silver Wolf nodded. She didn't really care, so she stood up and asked, "Sure, I have no problem with that. Did Elio say where we should go to wake her up?"

"Yes, at the space station. Herta's Space Station," Kafka said.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Silver Wolf was momentarily stunned. "That Herta?"

"Yes, that very Herta," Kafka nodded.

"Are you kidding me?"

Silver Wolf rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Besides Herta, that space station also has that freak Chen Mu. How are we supposed to infiltrate it?"

In the universe.

Although Chen Mu's reputation wasn't widespread, as members of the Stellaron Hunters who stirred up trouble across the cosmos, they were well aware of Chen Mu's existence.

"Oh my, it's really rare to see you admire someone like this, Silver Wolf." Kafka teased with a mischievous smirk on her face.

"That's because you guys don't know that guy. He's a total freak!"

Silver Wolf didn't seem to mind, retorting, "If I'm a genius in the field of hacking, then that guy is an all-rounder! He knows everything, and he's a genius at everything! Even when we play games together, I lose to him all the time. I really don't get why such a freak even exists in this world."

"If it were just Herta, that would be one thing, but with this guy around, I can only say that the probability of our operation failing is quite high, ha."

Kafka smiled and said, "What, are you afraid?"

"Ha? Afraid? As if!"

Hearing this, Silver Wolf denied it immediately, saying, "I have never feared a challenge. At worst, I'll just lose. Playing with him actually makes things more fun for me. Besides, I know that guy; even if we lose, he'd probably just lock us up at most."

"I'm just reminding you all that the probability of failure this time is high. Be prepared for failure. Or is this also part of Elio's script?"

Although she had never met Chen Mu in person.

Silver Wolf and Chen Mu had long been acquainted through the network, so she naturally understood Chen Mu.

The circle of geniuses was small to begin with.

Not to mention legends like Silver Wolf and Chen Mu, who were recognized as geniuses across the entire universe.

It would be impossible for them not to know each other.

Herta was already tricky enough, and adding Chen Mu to the mix—

In Silver Wolf's view, it was no different from walking straight into a trap.

Geniuses understand geniuses, after all.

Kafka chuckled. Even though she wasn't in that field, she actually knew all of this.

There are thousands upon thousands of strong people in the world.

But those capable of influencing the entire universe are mostly people like Herta, Chen Mu, and Silver Wolf.
