Jiyuan: Sparkle, How Dare You Frame Me? You'll Regret It! [6k] (Continued)
Nguyen Mai nodded slightly and said in a very gentle tone:
"I've already installed the star core using the Herta method. The rest will depend on the lab being fully set up. By the way, didn't you say you were bringing over the Fragmentum Monsters? Let me take a look."
Seeing her like this, Bronya's already calmed heart became even more composed.
While on the spaceship, Nguyen Mai was focused on her experiments, and Bronya didn't have much contact with her. But now, how could such a gentle person be an evil scientist?
What Sparkle said is completely unreliable.
Just as Bronya was thinking this, Ruan Mei smiled and opened the box behind Ji Yuan, taking out a Fragmentum Monsters. A wisp of energy appeared between her fingers, which she then slashed across the Fragmentum Monsters's body, tearing it open and gutting it.
Throughout the entire process, Nguyen Mai's smile remained unchanged.
This made Bronya's heart, which had just sunk, soar instantly.
If this isn't a mad scientist, who is?
Bronya had doubted Sparkle's claims earlier, but now Bronya felt that Sparkle was being too conservative.
Looking at Bronya, who was in a state of shock, Ruan Mei glanced at her and asked Ji Yuan, "By the way, why did you bring her here? Judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem to be of any help to the experiment."
Ji Yuan immediately explained, "Teacher, she suspects that we will use the people of Belobog as test subjects. I told her that I don't think much of the human bodies in Belobog, and then I brought her here to take a closer look."
Hearing her student's explanation, Nguyen May looked at the shocked Bronya and comforted her, "Little sister, don't worry, I'm not interested in the creatures here. Unless some rare plants or animals appear, but you humans won't be among them. My student and I came here with only one thing that truly interests us..."
As Nguyen Mai spoke, she pointed to the star core, which was now well preserved.
"Our only target has always been this star core. Unless there's a problem with the star core, Belobog is perfectly safe."
Hearing the first part of Nguyen May's sentence, Bronya felt relieved. However, after hearing the second part, she couldn't help but ask, "What was the success rate of your previous star core experiments?"
"Star core experiments? I've never done that."
Nguyen Mai was still smiling, but to Bronya, that smile was terrifying.
No, I've never done that before?
Bronya wanted to retort again, but after glancing at Nguyen Mai's smiling eyes, she immediately swallowed her words.
There is both good and bad news for her now.
The good news is that the people of Belobog don't have to worry about being used as test subjects; the bad news is that the entire planet is now being used as a testing ground.
"Don't worry, the teacher is just joking. Belobog still owes me money, so nothing will happen." Ji Yuan patted Bronya's shoulder to comfort her.
Bronya felt a little relieved.
At this moment, Ji Yuan asked that crucial question.
"Bronya, I'm asking you, who told you that we were using people as test subjects?"
"It was Sparkle who said it."
Bronya thought for a moment and decided to reveal Sparkle's name. After all, Hanabi started the whole thing, and Bronya felt no guilt about betraying her.
Upon hearing that it was Sparkle, Ji Yuan clenched his fist.
"As expected, none of those 'Masked Fool' who believe in Aha are good people. They could all be executed without leaving any innocent victims."
He made up his mind that once he got back, he would definitely take revenge on Sparkle and make her understand the consequences of his treachery.
"Is Sparkle the Masked Fool?"
Bronya asked Ji Yuan.
"Yes, she's one of the Masked Fool. From now on, don't believe a word she says, not even a single punctuation mark."
"Okay, I understand."
Bronya nodded seriously.
At this moment, the ship carrying scientific research equipment also landed. Ji Yuan immediately said to Bronya, "Let's go, I'll go and research ways to deal with the Fragmentum Monsters, you just watch from the side."
"Uh-huh."
The spaceship carrying scientific equipment was designed from the outset. Once it lands, it will naturally transform into a small experimental center, where Ji Yuan and Ruan Mei can conduct their experiments.
After the pilots left the spaceship, they went directly to find the rest of the company. Ji Yuan and his two companions followed. Ruan Mei wanted to head straight to the laboratory to begin her experiments, but she was stopped by Ji Yuan after only taking two steps.
"Teacher, please wait a moment."
Ruan Mei looked at Ji Yuan, who then drew his Longsword Sky Dome, Ji Yuan, from his waist and swiftly unleashed a burst of sword energy. After the sword energy passed, all three of them heard a 'sizzling' sound.
"Those people in the company secretly installed surveillance devices."
Ji Yuan said to Ruan Mei.
Their primary experiment is to create artificial Emanator. If they succeed, it will have a completely different impact on the entire galaxy. Emanator are the pinnacle of a power's military might; if they can be artificially created, the balance of power between many factions will be shattered.
The impact of this event can be said to be no more serious than the death of the Star God.
If the company had known the information in advance, who knows how many problems would have arisen.
Ruan Mei said dismissively, "Well, although I don't have your mechanical knowledge, I guessed they would do this. Originally, before you found these, I planned to create some disgusting little guys to give those people being monitored by the company some mental torture. Now it seems that I've saved myself the trouble."
Thinking of the disgusting little gadgets his teacher had made, Ji Yuan couldn't help but shudder.
That kind of thing is truly indescribable; it would drive an ordinary person insane if they saw it.
Looking at the damaged camera, Ji Yuan felt that he had done a good deed.
At least I'll keep you mentally sound.
At this point, Ruan Mei had already placed all the Fragmentum Monsters on the experimental table and started dismembering them into pieces. Fortunately, these were all energy beings, otherwise Bronya really wouldn't have been able to bear watching this scene.
Ji Yuan leaned over, and he and Ruan Mei each held an instrument.
"Come on, these life forms are products of energy. If we want to develop organisms that can counter them, we simply need to find a new type of organism that can absorb this energy..."
"Yes, that's what I was thinking too. Teacher, Belobog doesn't have much energy. If we want to mass-produce them, why don't we create a creature similar to the parasitic wasp and use the energy of the Fragmentum Monsters to fill the energy gap..."
"If that's the case..."
Bronya watched quietly as Ji Yuan and Ruan Mei discussed their conversation. At first, she could understand the gist of it, but when they started using various technical terms, Bronya became completely confused.
But a feeling of sympathy for those Fragmentum Monsters couldn't help but arise in his heart. Their fate after encountering these two powerful figures was far from pleasant.
After discussing for a while, Bronya said to Ji Yuan, "Well, I'll leave first. Belobog still has things to take care of. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you today."
"It's alright, the misunderstanding is cleared up." Ji Yuan was very magnanimous towards Bronya. However, after forgiving Bronya, he expressed his absolute unwillingness to forgive the culprit.
"Bronya, when you get back, tell Sparkle that I'll be back."
"Yes, I know."
Bronya was equally angry.
I wish I could stab Sparkle's nostril with the tip of my gun right now.
"Ms. Nguyen Mai, I'll be leaving now." After saying goodbye to Nguyen Mai, Bronya left.
[You helped Bronya, the legendary Great Guardian of Jarilo -VI, escape a scam; the system rewards you with a map of Belobog.]
Upon seeing the reward, Ji Yuan glanced at the map in his own space.
Then he discovered that the map inside was much larger than the current one in Belobog.
In particular, many parts of it are marked with mechanical patterns.
Is that where the machinery is placed? I wonder if the Architects placed it there before, or if it was built later.
Ji Yuan plans to go and take a look at it later.
On the other side, after seeing Bronya completely leave, Nguyen Mai casually tossed aside the half-decomposed Fragmentum Monsters.
"You can finish the rest of the work. Creating these creatures is really not challenging."
"Nguyen Mai said casually."
Ji Yuan nodded in understanding.
Ruan Mei then looked at Ji Yuan and reached out her hand expectantly.
Ji Yuan was taken aback.
What is the teacher planning to do? Is she going to help me with this?
Just as he was about to let his mind wander, Ruan Mei said with a smirk, "Now you can bring out what you mentioned before."
Ji Yuan then remembered what Ruan Mei had said.
He looked at Ruan Mei and said seriously, "Teacher, please be careful. This is, after all, a star core. You should prepare for Ms. Herta's placement technique first."
"Um."
Nguyen Mai nodded.
Then, in her sight, another star core appeared in Ji Yuan's hand. The star core was extremely unstable, and it felt like it might explode at any moment in Ji Yuan's hand. Seeing this, Ruan Mei quickly stepped forward and grasped the star core. Using the methods taught to her by the Herta, she stabilized the star core.
Ruan Mei neither knew nor cared how Ji Yuan produced the Star Core nor how he obtained it.
Even if Ji Yuan had stopped time and then run to Nanook's side to steal a star core, she wouldn't care.
Holding the star core firmly in her hand, Ruan Mei looked at the other star core.
Then, he simply walked towards the other star core while holding it in his hand.
"Teacher, what are you going to do?"
Ji Yuan looked at Ruan Mei's actions and exclaimed in surprise.
"Naturally, it's calculated based on the energy generated by the collision of star cores," Ruan Mei said with a smile.
The two star cores approached each other, and the energy emanating from them began to collide. Within the two star cores, a series of explosions began to occur.
Fortunately, it was Ruan Mei who was holding the star core, and she naturally possessed energy to protect herself. At the same time, the same energy appeared around them, preventing the explosion of the star core from affecting the surrounding area.
Sensing the explosion between the star cores, Ruan Mei simultaneously took out something from the laboratory that contained the power of immortal destiny. It was something the Herta had promised to give Ruan Mei. Ruan Mei placed the corpses in the midst of the star core explosion, then used the power of the two star cores' explosion to stimulate the corpses.
A violent explosion occurred on the immortal corpses. Initially, even the explosion of the star cores did not cause much damage to these corpses. It was only when Ruan Mei placed the two star cores within three meters that damage began to appear on the corpses.
"Teacher, is this alright? Has the power of immortality appeared?"
"Not yet, it's only on the surface and hasn't involved energy yet."
The damage started on the tissues of the corpse, and Nguyen Mai continued to bring the star core closer.
It wasn't until it reached a distance of less than a meter that the power it emitted caused the Immortal Path organization to release even a tiny bit of energy.
Seeing this, Ji Yuan knew that his teacher had used the energy from the star core explosion to unleash the power of the Immortal Path. Ruan Mei, seeing this, quickly stepped aside and used the Herta's star core control techniques to restrain the star core.
After she had taken control, she stared intently at the energy.
Finally, he shook his head in disappointment.
Ruan Mei said to Ji Yuan, "No, simply approaching the energy of this star core is not enough. We must stimulate the power inside the star core. Right now, it is already difficult for ordinary immortal beings to extract its energy, and what we are doing is absorbing the energy from the body of the Emanator of Abundance. This energy is still not enough."
The power of immortal destiny is now very difficult to find; obtaining it from the corpse of Emanator of Abundance is the most likely possibility. However, they have already hit a roadblock at this first step, and Ji Yuan and Ruan Mei must find a solution.
"Teacher, what should we do?"
Nguyen Mai thought for a while, then shook her head.
"I'm not an expert in this field, and I've never studied star cores before, so I don't know how to do it. Ji Yuan, we'll probably have to rely on you in this regard."
Rely on me?
"Teacher, what should I do?"
Ji Yuan asked Ruan Mei.
"In this world, if we're talking about who has done the most research on star cores, there probably isn't anyone else besides those people, right? Although they probably wouldn't utilize the explosive energy generated by the collision of two star cores, I believe that you Ji Yuan, have the ability to find a solution."
Right,
We still need to ask those Stellaron Hunter for information about Star Cores.
And right now, isn't there a Stellaron Hunter right beside him?
Firefly may have a lot of information, but even if she didn't have any, she could still get enough information by contacting Kafka and the others.
"It's a good opportunity to see what kind of person she really is. If we can cure her, we'll have to create an Emanator." Ruan Mei put the two star cores away and then leaned close to Ji Yuan to say this.
"Um."
