The Eyes That Want to Stab Someone Can't Be Hidden

Once this matter is settled.

Asta greeted Ruan Mei first, then proactively said hello to Bai Heng:

"Hello, I'm the station master of this Space Station. You can just call me Asta."

"Hello, Bai Heng."

Bai Heng gave her a simple handshake.

Upon hearing the name, Asta, who came from a wealthy family and had the opportunity to access various books from a young age, felt a sense of familiarity.

Bai Heng... Bai Heng... where did she see this name before?

However, she couldn't recall where she had seen the name, so she could only temporarily put the thought aside.

"You guys seem to be having a good time chatting."

The bill had already been paid, and Herta, who had just finished her escape, naturally returned to Asta's side.

Perhaps she was too busy enjoying the refreshments in the conference room earlier, and then diverting the other two for Ruan Mei, she hadn't had a good look at Bai Heng.

So, after returning to his side, Herta rested her slender fingers with distinct joints on her chin, her purplish-blue pupils scanning Bai Heng from top to bottom. Then, in a casual tone, she said:

"You do look like a good test subject."

"I'll take that as a compliment for now," Bai Heng responded with poise.

She turned her head to look at Ruan Mei, her words teasing:

"Ruan Mei, is this guy yours now?"

"I advise you not to get any ideas about him, Herta." Ruan Mei's tone was gentle, but it subtly revealed a sense of dominance.

"Don't be so nervous. Even outside the Simulated Universe, I won't mess around." Herta tossed her silver-brown hair, not losing out to the other woman in terms of imposing manner:

"Oh, you gave him that sword."

As she spoke, Herta noticed the collapsed silver cube in Bai Heng's hand.

Although this ancient sword, modified by Ruan Mei, appeared to be just a weathered and broken blade.

In reality, Herta had conducted research on it for a period of time after obtaining Ruan Mei's consent.

During the research process, she discovered that this broken sword seemed to have been blessed by Preservation, and it also contained some Destruction power related to the Star Nucleus.

Such an existence, even in the "Herta" Space Station, which housed a collection of various precious and rare items, was a rare find.

"I previously offered to exchange it for other rare items in the Space Station, and was even willing to take a loss, but you wouldn't give me this sword. Now that he's here, you just give it to him?" Herta's tone seemed to carry a hint of complaint.

Ruan Mei said calmly:

"This was originally his sword. I'm just returning it to its owner."

"Oh?" Herta narrowed her beautiful purplish-blue eyes, her gaze falling on Bai Heng again, and said:

"Hey, I want to make a deal with you. You give me the sword in your hand, and I can choose any three weapons from the Space Station's rare items. How about it? This isn't a losing deal for you, is it?"

The silver cube floated in the palm of Bai Heng's hand. He looked at Herta, the corners of his mouth rising, and said:

"Beg me."

"I'm begging you. Trade with me," Herta said without hesitation.

"No."

"You..." Herta didn't have much resistance to asking people for favors, but she didn't expect that Bai Heng would be so shameless.

The look in one's eyes when they want to stab someone can't be hidden, and Herta's gaze towards Bai Heng had that kind of meaning.

Of course, the way Herta's puppet was acting was more like she wanted the sword but couldn't get it, so she was emotionally collapsing, crying and making a fuss, so pitiful!

But Bai Heng knew to control the degree, so he spoke again:

"If Ms. Herta is also willing to cooperate with the Interastral Astronomical Society, this sword can be lent to you for research at any time."

Hearing this, Herta paused slightly, the anger in her eyes gradually dissipating. She tapped her fingers lightly and said:

"If I can study both the person and the sword together, I might be able to accept it."

"Deal..."

Halfway through his sentence, Bai Heng's foot was stepped on.

He slowly lowered his head and discovered a pair of delicate jade feet in high heels on his foot.

The front of the high heels had plum blossom carvings, and from the heel, one could see the exposed fair ankles.

"What's wrong, my dear assistant?" Ruan Mei tilted her head slightly, her willow eyebrows slanting, her expression extremely innocent.

"Uh..." Bai Heng was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said:

"Ms. Ruan Mei, there's something I need to tell you. This behavior of yours is actually a reward for some people with special preferences. Unfortunately, I'm one of them."

Her expression slightly froze, Ruan Mei pursed her lower lip, withdrew her foot, and at the same time, the look in her eyes towards Bai Heng became a little strange.

Having settled things on his end, Bai Heng continued, looking at Herta, and said:

"Ms. Herta, I am now Ms. Ruan Mei's research assistant. If you can persuade Ms. Ruan Mei, I will naturally agree to your request."

Bai Heng decisively passed the buck on this issue.

Herta's eyes narrowed slightly upon receiving this answer. Her purplish-blue pupils blinked, as if she had figured something out, and then she readily agreed:

"Then so be it. I, Herta, as one of the creators of the Simulated Universe, agree to establish a cooperative relationship with the Interastral Astronomical Society."

This visit to the "Herta" Space Station could be said to have been very fruitful for both the Interastral Astronomical Society and the Corporation.

Charles, who had been conducting research in the Curios Collection Room, couldn't help but change his opinion of Bai Heng, whom he had previously thought was too young, after learning that both Ruan Mei and Herta, members of the Genius Society, had decided to establish cooperative relationships with the Interastral Astronomical Society.

On the way back to the starship.

Facing another separation after their brief reunion, Ruan Mei saw Bai Heng off.

Standing outside the starship, Ruan Mei handed Bai Heng a bag of salted plum blossom cakes that she had prepared in advance, and said:

"I won't be at the Space Station for a while. If you want to contact me, log in to the 'Hyperfrequency Remote Sensing' chat channel. This is my account; write it down."

"Okay, so your foot..."

"Of course, I will also return to the Space Station or visit the Interastral Astronomical Society periodically. At that time, you can always come to me for a physical examination, my dear assistant."

"I know, so can you lift your foot..."

"I can tell from your expression that you must have stayed up late last night. Get some rest and don't overwork yourself."

"Thank you for your concern, so Ruan, your foot..."

Ruan Mei lowered her eyes slightly and gently arched her toes, saying:

"Didn't you say that this is also a form of reward?"

"A small reward is pleasant; too much is harmful." Bai Heng said seriously, "Also, I suggest you don't wear shoes next time."
