A Crazy Way to Treat Firefly [7k, Two-in-One] (Continued)
"How could that be?"
Ji Yuan guiltily rubbed Sushang's head vigorously.
Aside from Tingyun, Phantylia, Ruan Mei, and Jingliu all gave him their first kisses. Not to mention the daily exploitation Ruan Mei inflicts on him every night.
"You little kid, go to sleep right now."
"I'm not a child anymore!"
Sushang retorted to Ji Yuan.
Upon hearing her say that, Ji Yuan's expression instantly changed. He looked at Sushang warily and said, "I'm warning you, don't give me the excuse of growing up to start dating early!"
"I would never date early! At worst, I'll just stay by your side for the rest of my life."
"It doesn't matter, I can afford to raise a silly little sister anyway."
"You're the idiot!"
Sushang said with dissatisfaction, then ran towards the sofa, but as she turned around, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.
She was actually quite happy with her brother's answer.
Ji Yuan was unaware of his sister's thoughts; he went straight upstairs to the master bedroom.
Nguyen Mai was already standing on the test bench.
Upon seeing Ji Yuan, her eyes lit up with anticipation.
Ruan Mei said to Ji Yuan, "You've come at the right time. Come and observe with me. I just extracted some Firefly cells, which are currently dividing and proliferating. Through the division of these cells, I think we can roughly determine which level of Entropy Loss Syndrome is involved in."
"Let me take a look."
Ji Yuan walked up and stood next to Ruan Mei, beginning to observe as well.
The two began to observe the Firefly's cells.
In the Nguyen Mena culture medium, the Firefly cells also began to undergo normal division and proliferation.
At first, Ji Yuan saw this as normal, but instead of being happy, his expression became even more somber.
"Ji Yuan, you've noticed it too, haven't you?"
Ruan Mei said to Ji Yuan.
"Yes, the cell differentiation of Firefly probably involves the most basic components of life. This is not in the molecular realm, but in a more subtle and detailed realm."
"That's right, Firefly's cell division is in a normal state. However, the intensity of each cell division gradually decreases, and eventually they simply disappear. And..."
As Nguyen Mai spoke, she took over another petri dish.
After observing for a moment, she shook her head and said, "This is another method I've thought of: trying to combine her cells with other cells. If we could achieve large-scale cell replacement and then allow the cells to regenerate, that might be a solution. But..."
"When newly formed cells combine with the cells of the Firefly, they will also be infected with a new Entropy Loss Syndrome. They will also fall into the same situation as before. And the time it takes for the newly formed cells to become the same as the previous cells is less than 0.1 seconds."
The human body cannot continuously infuse new cells; even with so many new cells, Firefly's body could not sustain itself.
"What if we changed it to silicon-based or steel?"
Ji Yuan asked Ruan Mei.
Although people may become strange, at least they can survive.
"That won't work either. I tried using other materials and combining them with cells, but I was still infected by the cells of Entropy Loss Syndrome." Ruan Mei shook her head as well. "Even using the power of Abundance won't work. Abundance allows your cells to divide and proliferate without limit, but if the existence of these cells disappears, then Abundance will be completely useless."
"So..."
Ji Yuan lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
What should we do?
Ji Yuan sat on the bed in the corner of the room.
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt his whole body being embraced by Ruan Mei.
Ji Yuan looked at Ruan Mei.
Ruan Mei then rested her head on Ji Yuan's shoulder, her soft thighs draped directly over his. She had also taken off her shoes, naturally revealing her beautiful, jade-like feet to Ji Yuan.
Seeing Ji Yuan's gaze directed at her, Ruan Mei smiled.
"When you're lost in thought, as your teacher, I naturally want to help you. Some people call it 'the time of wisdom,' isn't that right?"
Nguyen Mai began her movements.
Ji Yuan couldn't help but gasp.
Ruan Mei is undoubtedly very talented, and after several attempts, she has become much more skilled. As a scientist, her movements are incredibly gentle, with the precision of a scientist, and she grasps every minute detail perfectly, constantly pushing Ji Yuan's limits.
Fortunately, Ji Yuan was also exceptionally talented, otherwise he would have started thinking like a sage much earlier.
After more than an hour, looking at Ruan Mei who was washing her hands, she coughed and said, "Then, teacher, I can think now."
"Good."
After cleaning her hands, Ruan Mei walked over to Ji Yuan and patted her thigh.
She smiled and said, "Come on, lie down here. Perhaps thinking with you will help my mind."
Ji Yuan obediently lay down on Ruan Mei's lap, and Ruan Mei then placed her hands on Ji Yuan's temples and began to gently massage them.
He was humming an unknown song.
Ji Yuan looked at her from bottom to top, and Ruan Mei explained to him, "This is a folk song from my hometown. I like to hum this kind of folk song when I'm thinking."

"Um."
Ji Yuan nodded, then closed his eyes and began to enter the learning space.
When Ji Yuan opened his eyes again, he saw the virtual Ruan Mei sitting opposite him with a chair in hand, her hands supporting her chin as she carefully observed him.
"It seems you're making a lot of progress. I feel my own existence much more strongly now. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to exist for a much longer period of time."
"Um."
Ji Yuan nodded shyly.
The first time it was 2,000 hours, then the second time it was 200 hours, and from the third time onwards it was 100 hours each time.
At this moment, Ji Yuan remembered that the time flow rate in this learning space was one hundred times that of the outside world.
So,
He works hard outside for an hour, and then it adds another hour?
As Ji Yuan was pondering, he felt heat rising in front of him.
He looked up and saw that the virtual Ruan Mei was holding a plate of freshly baked cakes.
"Come on, have a taste. Along with the increase in space here, there seem to be many new facilities. For example, stoves and some supplies. I'll give it a try."
Is it still possible to do this?
Ji Yuan was somewhat surprised, but she still picked up the small cake and started eating it.
He pondered carefully, looking at the virtual Ruan Mei, a hint of hesitation on his face.
"Oh? What's wrong?"
The virtual Ruan Mei looked at him with a smile.
"The taste of this cake..."
It tasted pretty average.
Seeing Ji Yuan's expression, the virtual Ruan Mei smiled and said:
"The taste is just average, of course. It needs some catalyst."
She put a small piece of cake in her mouth and chewed it, then kissed Ji Yuan's lips again.
Instantly, a rich plum blossom aroma filled the cake, and its taste became incredibly sweet.
The virtual Ruan Mei gave all the cake in her mouth to Ji Yuan.
Only after she had done all that did she release Ji Yuan.
"Would you like me to give you a copy of this recipe later? You can use it to feed other people; the taste is different from this one."
Virtual Ruan Mei smiled and said to Ji Yuan.
His eyes were full of expectation.
If we can gain more advantages from Nguyen Mai, we can be more secure with her side.
"Well, let's talk about that later, Ms. Nguyen Mai..."
"Call me teacher from now on, dear."
Virtual Ruan Mei seemed to want to argue, and said to Ji Yuan.
"Um."
Ji Yuan didn't know how to react.
"Okay, now can you tell me what's going on here?"
"It's like this..." Ji Yuan immediately told the virtual Ruan Mei about his current situation.
Upon hearing that the patient receiving treatment this time was a girl, Virtual Ruan Mei couldn't help but glance at Ji Yuan with a teasing smile.
"Does this mean we've gained another little wife?"
"Please don't say that," Ji Yuan quickly interrupted the virtual Ruan Mei.
"Let's go look at those things instead."
He could conjure up anything Ji Yuan had ever seen or understood within this educational space. He immediately conjured a sample of Firefly cells and handed it to the virtual Ruan Mei.
"All right."
Virtual Ruan Mei nodded, a thoughtful expression appearing on her face.
Ji Yuan was also thinking, trying to find a solution.
Upon seeing this, the virtual Ruan Mei couldn't help but smile.
"This thing is actually quite challenging."
What do you think?
Ji Yuan asked her.
Virtual Ruan Mei spoke up, "Your judgment and that of the Ruan Mei outside are correct. This thing is indeed like a curse, and even Abundance power cannot stop it. Even those Memokeeper the Memory Masters of the Garden of Recollection cannot prevent its disappearance. Now, there are only two ways to solve this."
"What method?"
"The first option is to find a way to remove the curse. However, unless it's the Erudition Aeon, no one else would know about such a disappearing curse."
Virtual Nguyen Mai affirmed.
Her level of expertise in life sciences is arguably the highest in the entire galaxy, second only to the Erudition Aeon. If she can't do it, then only the Erudition Aeon might know about Entropy Loss Syndrome.
Although Ji Yuan had seen the Erudition Aeon, he did not know how to see Him again.
"What about the second method?"
"Then let those curses be unable to interfere with that girl's cells. In other words, only the power of that star god can do that."
"The Aeon of Permanence, is it?"
Ji Yuan said to the virtual Ruan Mei.
Virtual Ruan Mei nodded. "Yes, only His power can stop the Entropy Loss Syndrome. However, He has been dead for a long time, and even the immortal power contained in your Xianzhou's Vidyadhara is far too little. I remember that on your Xianzhou, there were disastrous consequences caused by the unauthorized use of immortal power combined with Abundance power."
She was referring to Dan Feng and Yingxing, who had used the Art of Dragon Transformation.
Ji Yuan had obtained that Remembrance through the system, so naturally he knew it very well.
"To change this, there must be enough immortal power."
"Are we going to create an Emanator of Abundance?"
"Perhaps you are not wrong."
