Ruan Mei, you've drugged the pastries again.

Hearing this, Herta never once took her eyes off the Simulated Universe's test screen.

"Didn't you give the Trailblazer a plum blossom cake laced with Truth-Suppressing Agent back then, to make her forget you?"

On the screen, the Trailblazer had cleared two events in the [Event Domain], beaming with a face full of blessings, and beckoning Screwllum beside her to help stuff her treasures into her backpack.

"What, has the drug not taken effect yet? Are you so sure the current Trailblazer still remembers you?"

Herta was really hitting where it hurt, stabbing right into the heart.

Ruan Mei wasn't annoyed; she casually placed the plum blossom cake on the table, standing shoulder to shoulder with Herta, watching the Trailblazer's adventure log together.

"I regret it."

Her voice was soft, her gaze falling on the plum blossom cake not far away.

This time, she failed.

Having been in the lab for too long, she hadn't made cakes in a long time.

The cake she made this time didn't look good, and there was too much icing.

Under the incandescent light, it looked as if it had been sprinkled with a thick layer of medicinal powder.

"So, I will feed the Trailblazer another cake, and this time, she will remember me forever."

"Cough cough..."

Herta suddenly coughed violently, "You, you put drugs in the cake again, why didn't you tell me before I ate it?"

Ruan Mei expressionlessly increased the probability of obtaining Cosmic Fragments for this Simulated Universe, her aquamarine eyes reflecting the crystal-clear light of the screen.

"It doesn't matter if you eat it. This time's drug will only react with the aftertaste of the Truth-Suppressing Agent. In the end, it's only effective on the Trailblazer."

"Forget it, whatever."

Herta devoted herself to observing the Simulated Universe.

She really couldn't understand why Ruan Mei used all her dirty tricks on the Trailblazer.

Indeed, geniuses are all crazy.

But Herta forgot that she was also a genius.

Ruan Mei stared at the Trailblazer on the screen, her fingers skillfully recording one erroneous data point after another.

This was ostensibly her second time coming to the Herta Space Station.

The first time she came was a long time ago.

That was when Ruan Mei first met the Trailblazer.

All the geniuses were very interested in this Stellaron that had become a spirit, Herta was like this, and Screwllum was also like this.

Even Ruan Mei was not surprised.

However, Ruan Mei's research direction was mainly life science, standing at a crossroads with the Trailblazer.

So, even if she was interested in the Trailblazer, it was only a little bit.

She immediately put the Stellaron out of her mind.

Dozens of bouncing little creations were kept in the Space Station's confinement section, waiting for their creator's glance.

But Ruan Mei, as the creator, turned a blind eye to this.

Ruan Mei was so indifferent to the life she had cultivated with her own hands, let alone the Trailblazer, whom she had only met once.

So, at that time, Ruan Mei fed the Trailblazer a plum blossom cake containing Truth-Suppressing Agent without thinking.

She didn't trust anyone; she only trusted the plum blossom cake she made with her own hands.

Eat this delicious cake obediently, and then wait for the aftertaste of the drug to take effect.

Trailblazer, forget me.

At that time, Ruan Mei had such a naive idea.

She was a life science expert exploring unknown fields alone, and the long journey of lonely exploration had no end in sight.

She didn't need to be worried about, let alone understood.

But a long time later, until today, Ruan Mei finally regretted it.

What kind of person the Trailblazer was, she actually knew it very well, didn't she?

The methods she used on the Trailblazer were actually superfluous.

She should have trusted the Trailblazer sooner.

Usually, when the partners held Simulated Universe update meetings, Herta and Screwllum would always praise the Trailblazer.

Even Stephen verbally expressed a strong interest in Stelle.

Only Ruan Mei went against them.

She thought, is letting the Trailblazer forget her really what she wanted?

Having interacted with such a lovely child, but ultimately having to erase all the overlapping traces of the past with her own hands.

Thinking of this, Ruan Mei finally regretted it.

This Simulated Universe version update actually didn't need Ruan Mei's involvement at all.

Herta and Screwllum were usually enough for the daily maintenance.

But, on a whim, after hearing she could catch the Trailblazer's live broadcast, she quickly dropped the experiment she was working on.

Carrying a plate of Plum Blossom Cakes that the Trailblazer once praised as 'very delicious!', she pushed open the door to Herta's office.

Just as she once fed Stelle a Plum Blossom Cake containing Truth-Suppressing Agent, why couldn't she feed Stelle a Plum Blossom Cake containing something that would counteract the Truth-Suppressing Agent this time?

Gradually forget?

She wanted the Trailblazer...

To remember her forever.

To never forget her!

Harboring such thoughts, Ruan Mei exceptionally participated in this version update.

She finished recording all the data at hand and watched the Trailblazer and Screwllum arrive at the final boss level.

"Soon, we'll meet again, Trailblazer."

Ruan Mei's gaze fixed on the gray figure on the screen.

"I'm sorry, but this really is the last time..."

"Ah... ah... achoo!"

Inside the Simulated Universe, the Trailblazer suddenly sneezed violently.

"That's not right, is someone secretly thinking about me? Who is it, is it March 7th, Dan Heng, or Sunday?"

Stelle touched her face. The next Warp was imminent, and she had to get together with the Express Crew before going to Omphalos.

So, she should finish the Simulated Universe as soon as possible and wrap things up!

Hearing the Trailblazer mutter a few names, Ruan Mei's eyelashes drooped slightly.
