Acheron: Hime Yuan, Come Into the Pool with Me! [Second Update]

[Herta: No, that won't happen. I'm even more eager to see how many breakthroughs you can make in your research on imaginary numbers after you've mastered the field.]

[Ruan Mei: Yes, it would be even better if we could combine the theories of imaginary number science and life science. A being capable of stealing into the Imaginary Tree —that idea seems pretty good.]

[Herta: Your idea sounds dangerous to me. However, it seems like a pretty good one.]

Ji Yuan and Screwllum exchanged a glance.

[Herta: Okay, if there's nothing else, go ahead and read Chadwick's Memories Bubble. By the way, do you need any technical assistance with reading the Memories Bubble?]

[Screwllum: That's not necessary for now. We have a Memokeepers of the Garden of Recollection on our side.]

[Herta: The Memokeepers of the Garden of Recollection? What's going on here?]

Then Screwllum told Herta and Nguyen Mai about their situation.

[Herta: Good heavens, even the Memokeepers of the Garden of Recollection can't read your Remembrance Ji Yuan? The secrets you hold only fuel my desire to study you more.]

Ji Yuan:...

At this point, Nguyen Mai raised another question.

[Ruan Mei: Ji Yuan, do you mean that the Memokeeper called Black Swan is interested in you?]

[Ji Yuan: To some extent, that is indeed the case.]

[Ruan Mei: In that case, what would happen if you mated with her? What kind of creature would be born from the offspring of a Celestial Ark Native and a body composed of Memoria?]

[Ji Yuan: Teacher, please don't say that.]

As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily swept over the Black Swan.

The Black Swan stood with her hands behind her back, making her beautiful figure even more striking. She hummed an unknown lullaby, which, though unintelligible, was very pleasant to listen to.

[Nguyen Mai: Okay, I'll hold off for now. I'll do it when I get to Penacony in a couple of days.]

Ji Yuan:...

Screwllum patted him on the shoulder reassuringly.

"Alright, now that we've informed my teacher and Miss Herta, let's focus our attention on absorbing the knowledge from this Memories Bubble."

Ji Yuan grabbed the Memories Bubble and began to absorb the Remembrance within it.

Now,

In the Dreamscape Boundary, Chadwick gazed at the distant sky, feeling his own existence fading away.

"Hopefully, one day we will be able to master imaginary numbers."

His thoughts gradually faded away.

The entire Imaginary Tree gradually appeared before my eyes.

Although this was merely a structure he imagined, and not necessarily a real Imaginary Tree, his eyes were still filled with immense excitement upon seeing it. Standing beside the railing, he unleashed a speed completely unlike his aged body, flipping over the railing and leaping down.

Silver Wolf and Star hadn't left yet, and seeing this, Star instinctively tried to pull Chadwick back. But before she could reach Chadwick, he was already in mid-air.

However, he did not fall; instead, he gradually disappeared in mid-air.

Xing knew he had truly disappeared, and stood on the edge of the railing, looking somewhat dazed.

In reality, Chadwick was in his room Memories Bubble about the past.

In an instant, Ji Yuan memorized all of Chadwick's Remembrance. From the first time he stumbled upon science to the knowledge of the imaginary number field he had acquired in his short few decades of life.

The cold-bloodedness of accepting company funding while his mind was filled only with research, and the regret and confusion that followed when he saw the Imaginary Collapse Pulse Device being launched.

All of these things were imprinted on his brain in an instant.

Fortunately, Ji Yuan had obtained the sorting and classification technique from the system to help Hanya resolve this sudden surge of Remembrance; otherwise, he would have been bewildered and troubled for a long time.

Ji Yuan quickly organized Chadwick's Remembrance.

His understanding of imaginary numbers, the process of extracting and studying imaginary numbers, all the reports on the study of imaginary numbers as energy, his conception of the entire Imaginary Tree, and his conjecture on how to enter the Imaginary Tree.

This surprised Ji Yuan greatly.

Entering the Imaginary Tree, I must say, Mr. Chadwick, you really dare to dream big!

He stored the knowledge that belonged exclusively to the realm of imaginary numbers deep in his brain, and in the end, all that remained in the Memories Bubble was Chadwick's emotions.

I'm entrusting everything to you!

—I know I will continue my research in the field of imaginary numbers.

Ji Yuan silently said to Chadwick in his heart.

Seemingly upon hearing Ji Yuan's apocryphal words, Chadwick's final emotion suddenly turned to joy. And then, in this joy, he vanished completely.

Ji Yuan then opened his eyes.

Screwllum asked Ji Yuan, "How is it?"

"I have mastered all of Mr. Chadwick's Remembrance." Ji Yuan nodded affirmatively.

Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Black Swan looked somewhat surprised. To be able to so easily grasp others' Remembrance without being affected herself... to some extent, she truly possessed a talent for becoming Memokeeper.

However, considering Ji Yuan's personality, Black Swan knew that this was impossible.

Ji Yuan could not possibly be the narrator of the story; he was destined to be the protagonist. It was absolutely impossible for him to be the Memokeeper.

Scientists are often a little lacking in emotion, even Screwllum is no exception. Seeing that things were over here, he said to Ji Yuan, "Now that things are over here, I'll be leaving soon. I'm also somewhat interested in Ruan Mei's idea; I'd like to go and see if there's any room for cooperation."

What does your teacher think?

Upon hearing Screwllum said, Ji Yuan couldn't help but look at the Black Swan.

Teacher Ruan Mei said he wanted to mate with her...

Seeing Ji Yuan looking at her, the Black Swan smiled faintly, her deep eyes seeming to want to draw out Ji Yuan's soul and study it.

No, Mr. Screwllum definitely didn't mean that.

He was thinking about the combination of imaginary numbers and life sciences. If mechanics were added, what kind of research would be produced?

Ji Yuan was unsure, but a hint of anticipation lingered in his heart.

Screwllum and Ji Yuan bid each other farewell.

And the Black Swan must also prepare to leave.

This surprised Ji Yuan.

If you're interested in me, why did you just leave like that?

Black Swan also saw through Ji Yuan's thoughts. She shrugged and said with some helplessness, "Although I really wanted to spend more time with you to investigate you, my existence relies on Remembrance. I cannot read your Remembrance, so I have no choice but to leave."

Hearing her words, Ji Yuan nodded in understanding.

At the same time, he lamented in his heart that his teacher's idea was doomed to fail.

No, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't succeed.

If it were her teacher's idea, Black Swan couldn't form a coherent image based on her own Remembrance, she would definitely say that all three of them were together.

The teacher is absolutely capable of doing it.

Forget it, let's not think about it for now.

Watching Screwllum and Black Swan leave, Ji Yuan quickly returned to her room.

Let's go back to the Golden Hour and take another look.

Back at the door of his room, Ji Yuan was about to take out his room card to swipe and enter, but at that moment he realized that his door was not locked at all.

What's going on? Did I forget to lock the door when I left?

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

After thinking about it, I realized my memory couldn't possibly be that bad.

So...

With these thoughts in mind, he took out his weapon, became alert, and pushed open the door.

If there were enemies inside, Ji Yuan believed he could spot them and fight them immediately.

The door was pushed open.

Ji Yuan rushed in and instantly saw everything inside the room.

Then,

He was completely dumbfounded.

There were indeed other people in the room.

But that person wasn't lying in ambush to ambush him.

Instead, that person directly immersed himself in the Dream Pool.

Looking at the sweet sleeping face on that pretty face amidst the disheveled purple hair, it was clear that she had entered a dream world.

Ji Yuan also knew this person.

The Emanator of Nihility Yomikawa disguised himself as a Sea Ranger.

What's going on?

Ji Yuan felt very puzzled.

Why did Yomikawa not enter the dream in his own room, but instead went to his room and forcibly entered it, even immersing himself in the Dream Pool?

Once her consciousness enters the Dream Pool, she can hardly pay attention to her physical body in reality.

"This situation is very dangerous." Ji Yuan moved closer to Yomikawa. Since the Dream Pool was occupied, he could not enter this room and could only watch from the side.

Looking at her beautiful sleeping face, Ji Yuan commented:

"To be honest, in your situation, any adult cartoonist could publish a doujinshi here."

Fortunately, while his moral standards weren't high, they weren't so low as to do anything lewd. He found a chair and sat down next to Yomikawa, watching her.

"This can be considered as being a guard for the Emanator of Nihility; it should give me some sense of accomplishment."

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Chapter 262 Yomikawa: Ji Yuan, come into the pool with me! [Second Update]

Sitting beside the Dream Pool, Ji Yuan carefully examined Yomikawa.

With her delicate face, cool temperament, and tall figure, she exudes charm to everyone around her at all times.

The water in the Dream Pool, in particular, has a dreamlike quality.

The Dream Pool rippled gently, and Yomikawa's long, snow-white legs were faintly visible within it.

Ji Yuan sat quietly in his seat, watching Yomikawa enter his dream.

At the same time, he was silently organizing his knowledge about imaginary numbers. Ji Yuan had learned some theories about imaginary numbers when he mastered the Imaginary Collapse Pulse, but it was not comprehensive at all.

Now, with Mr. Chadwick's Remembrance knowledge, Ji Yuan began to quickly grasp the theory of imaginary numbers.

Starting from scratch, Ji Yuan didn't overlook any research on imaginary numbers. Even the Genius Society's research on Imaginary Energy was only superficial; no one knew if their current research was going astray. Therefore, Ji Yuan wanted to start from the basics to check, lest he unknowingly stray from the right path.

While multitasking, Ji Yuan was absorbed in the complex knowledge of imaginary numbers in his mind, while admiring Yomikawa's beautiful body.

After an unknown amount of time, Yomikawa suddenly opened his eyes.

Sensing that there was another person in her room, she instinctively rushed towards Ji Yuan.

Grabbing the edge of the Dream Pool with her palm, she spun 180 degrees and swung her right leg like a windmill, slamming it down on Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan was mainly contemplating the concept of imaginary numbers and didn't react immediately. Faced with Yomikawa's attack, he instinctively raised his fist to meet it.

Yomikawa was stronger than him. Although his fist hit Yomikawa's thigh in time, he was still forced to retreat a distance.

Wanting to attack again, Ji Yuan quickly made a sound at this moment.

"Yomikawa, that's me."

Yomikawa saw Ji Yuan at this moment and stopped his attack.

Yomikawa had a very deep impression of this person who knew his name but had no Remembrance of him whatsoever. Seeing him now, Yomikawa had no intention of attacking him whatsoever.
