Besides that, the simulated system store also includes some exchange items related to the system itself.

For example, 1000 simulation points can be exchanged for a chance to directly obtain a simulation.

Simulation points can also be converted into attribute points at a ratio of 100:1.

However, Bai Heng doesn't have that plan for the time being.

After all, he doesn't currently need to rapidly improve his strength in the short term.

In this regard, the Interastral Peace Corporation's security for high-level employees is quite adequate.

As for the 300 attribute points, Bai Heng decided to distribute them evenly across his weaknesses: physique, stamina, and strength.

Panel Updated: Bai Heng Life Talent: Alluring Youth [Physique: 170 Stamina: 170] [Strength: 170 Agility: 130] [Spirit: 300 Charm: 700]

After checking the updated panel, Bai Heng tried to feel the changes in his body.

The feeling was very subtle, as if the muscles on his body had become tougher, and the surging blood within him had become more vigorous.

"Why do I feel a little hot..." Bai Heng covered his lower abdomen, "And suddenly I'm so hungry."

The changes in his body also brought some other effects.

Bai Heng looked at the mechanical clock on the cabinet again, and seeing that it was already late, he didn't plan to go back to sleep.

He grabbed a set of clothes and took a cold shower in the bathroom. After changing into a clean uniform, he went straight to the Interastral Astronomical Society's cafeteria.

5:00 a.m.

Inside the Interastral Astronomical Society's employee cafeteria.

Many employees had already lined up early, preparing to grab a quick breakfast before diving into their work for the day.

Among these people were both internal Astronomical Society personnel, as well as security personnel dispatched by the Interastral Peace Corporation and field personnel from other departments.

They probably rushed to the cafeteria at this time because of the latest announcement – to encourage employees to develop the habit of waking up early, all of the Interastral Peace Corporation's cafeterias would provide 500 free dine-in meals.

Some people, in order to save those few breakfast credit points, simply adjusted their schedules, specifically aiming for the free breakfast all year round.

Bai Heng arrived at the cafeteria at 5 o'clock, but figured he probably wouldn't be able to get one of the free meals. However, he didn't need to join the line anyway.

Because the Interastral Peace Corporation's cafeteria provided a special dine-in window for employees of his level.

The cafeteria's breakfast selection was quite rich. Because the kitchen staff came from various Star Systems, new breakfast items were developed almost every so often.

Due to the changes in his body, Bai Heng's appetite was greatly stimulated today, and he ordered a lot of breakfast.

Three bowls of Apricot Millet Porridge made with carefully selected millet from the Xianzhou Alliance, five Crystal Shrimp Dumplings with thin skins and generous fillings, and a bowl of Soft-Boiled Buckwheat Noodles.

When eating, he liked to sit with some of the Astronomical Society and Interastral Peace Corporation's internal employees.

Because these people came from different planets and had different experiences, Bai Heng liked the feeling of listening to people tell stories.

In his five years at the Interastral Peace Corporation, he had risen from a low-level employee to his current position, and had basically learned many interesting anecdotes about the universe through these people's accounts.

After leaving the cafeteria, Bai Heng greeted many colleagues along the way. When he returned to his office, he began uploading and organizing recent information about the connection between the Harmony Aeon Xipe and the vanished Order Aeon Taiyi.

This was his daily work.

Drinking steaming coffee and moving the controller of the information terminal, it was soon nine in the morning.

This was exactly the time when Bai Heng should go to pick up Topaz and prepare to board a starship to visit the members of the Genius Society at Herta Space Station.

Thinking of this, Bai Heng's mood became slightly complicated.

When he started simulating last night, he thought the simulated content would be random.

But now it seemed that the simulated events might have a subtle cause-and-effect relationship with himself.

Just like this time, he was preparing to go to Herta Space Station the next day to visit the four geniuses who created the Simulated Universe.

Therefore, the content of his simulation was connected to that big shot in the field of life science, Ms. Ruan Mei.

But he was still unsure whether the simulated events would have an impact on reality.

The mechanical hatch on the second floor of the Interastral Astronomical Society VI Space Station slowly opened.

A starship with a black, scale-armored luster drove in from the hatch. As the airflow surged, the roaring blue tail flames of the starship gradually extinguished, and finally it docked on the deck of the Interastral Astronomical Society VI Space Station.

The ship's maintenance personnel, who had been prepared for a long time, stepped forward from the waiting area, ready to refuel the starship and repair the wear and tear during the voyage.

"We've finally arrived." At the same time as the starship's hatch opened, a somewhat lazy voice came from inside, "Numby, let's go."

"Oink~"

The hatch opened, and a girl walked out of the starship. She put one hand on her hip and teased the Warp Trotter on her right shoulder with the other.

She had a neat, silver, medium-short hairstyle, the ends just reaching her shoulders, with a striking strand of red highlights. Her purplish-red eyes revealed a confident charm.

Judging from the exquisitely tailored uniform she wore, and the diamond brooch pinned near her right shoulder, her rank within the Interastral Peace Corporation must be quite high.

Behind her stood a middle-aged elite, estimated to be around 45 years old. He was plainly dressed, his attire resembling Bai Heng's perception of an English gentleman, but his gloomy face made him seem unapproachable.

"Welcome to the Interastral Astronomical Society VI Space Station." Standing not far from the starship, Bai Heng greeted them politely with the Interastral Peace Corporation's etiquette: "I am Bai Heng, the Interastral Astronomical Society representative who will be accompanying you this time."

In front of two Interastral Peace Corporation members whose ranks were clearly higher than his own, Bai Heng did not act overly humble.

After all, although the Interastral Astronomical Society was a subsidiary organization established with the Interastral Peace Corporation's investment, its work was quite different from other Interastral Peace Corporation departments, similar to the Genius Society, and held a special status within the Interastral Peace Corporation.

As Bai Heng spoke, the silver-haired girl and the gloomy-looking middle-aged man looked at him simultaneously.

Before the silver-haired girl could speak, Numby on her shoulder suddenly jumped down, waddling on its short legs, and came to Bai Heng's side, circling around him while sizing him up.

Bai Heng also glanced at the little creature, thinking that the saying "If you're willing, even a dog's gaze towards you will become affectionate" wasn't a joke.

"Oh." The girl stepped down from the starship, came to Numby's side, picked it up, and then looked at Bai Heng with some surprise: "It's the first time I've seen Numby so interested in something other than treasure."

She smiled slightly at Bai Heng and said, "Nice to meet you, I'm Topaz, from the Interastral Peace Corporation's Strategic Investment Department. I'm here both to represent the Interastral Peace Corporation in coordinating with the Astronomical Society's work, and to urge Ms. Herta to reimburse last month's excessive bills. Oh, right, this is Charles, a colleague from the same department as me."

"Hello." Charles nodded slightly at Bai Heng.

"Hello, Ms. Topaz, Mr. Charles, and this is Numby, right." Bai Heng waved at the Warp Trotter in Topaz's arms.

"Hmph~"

After the other party introduced themselves, Bai Heng finally remembered the identity of the person before him.

He had previously seen reports about her in the Interastral Peace Corporation's internal publications, becoming the head of the Special Debt Collection Department, one of the Interastral Peace Corporation's "Ten Stonehearts" at a young age.

"You two must be tired from your journey. Would you like me to take you to the reception room?" Bai Heng asked:

"No need." The man named Charles spoke: "The Interastral Peace Corporation has many internal affairs to deal with recently, we need to handle things here as soon as possible, and then return to headquarters."

Topaz, on the other hand, made a sighing and regretful expression:

"Actually, I wanted to look around the Astronomical Society, but I'll have to wait until next time."

"If Ms. Topaz is interested, I would be honored to be your guide when you come to the Interastral Astronomical Society next time."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Topaz stroked Numby's head and agreed readily.

"Since you both want to set off immediately," Bai Heng instructed one of his subordinate employees: "Aheng, prepare to contact the departing starship, destination: Herta Space Station."

"Yes, boss."

Space Station "Herta"

A girl with long silver-brown hair walked out of the opened hatch. Her exquisite Lolita attire and the black beret, along with the purple bellflowers between her hair, created a conflict between maturity and cuteness.

Herta raised her purplish-blue eyes and looked at the elegant beauty embroidering at the laboratory window, saying:

"It seems you're in a good mood, but I have to bother you. In a few system hours, the guests from the Interastral Astronomical Society will arrive."

"You know I'm never interested in these things, Herta." Ruan Mei put down the round fan in her hand, her indifferent and beautiful face not showing much expression.

"Okay, I know." Herta slowly walked forward, placed one hand on her hip, and handed a document to Ruan Mei, saying: "This is the information of those visitors, take a look if you want. I'll tell the guests that you're not at the space station."

After Ruan Mei took the document, Herta flicked her silver-brown hair and turned to leave.

But then, she heard Ruan Mei's voice, with a slight emotional fluctuation:

"Wait, Herta."

"What's wrong?" A hint of doubt appeared on Herta's exquisite face, after all, she had basically never heard Ruan Mei speak in this tone:

Ruan Mei gently pressed her chest with her fair hands, her bright eyes slightly trembling, and said:

"I will attend this meeting."
