My Honkai Star Rail System Arrived Early Chapter 48

"Teacher Ruan Mei, do you need something?"

Ji Yuan asked Ruan Mei about her purpose for doing this.

"Naturally, it's to tell him I'm taking you with me," Ruan Mei said to him. "The sooner your talent is recognized, the better. I've always hoped for someone who could communicate with me in the field of life sciences. I plan to take you with me to Herta Space Station, and I'll teach you my knowledge as soon as possible."

Take him away!?

Thinking of Ruan Mei's identity, Ji Yuan couldn't help but feel excited.

If he was protected by her, even if Phantylia attacked him, they could still escape.

As he was thinking this, a mournful voice sounded not far from the two of them.

"Ji Yuan, are you planning to be a man who abandons his lover and sister?"

Ji Yuan looked over and saw that it was Phantylia, disguised as Tingyun, who spoke these words.

Seeing Phantylia appear here, Ji Yuan couldn't help but take two steps back.

His expression was unnatural, looking exactly like someone caught in the act.

Chapter 69: Help Me, Miss Ruan Mei! [First Update 3k]

Ji Yuan's hand was held by Ruan Mei, and Phantylia's expression was full of resentment. In her heart, she was already turning to anger.

This was a prey she had personally set her sights on, and she had given him so many benefits, only for him to be taken away by this woman, Ruan Mei?

Phantylia's expression was terrifying.

Ji Yuan felt a chill run down to his bones.

He had originally planned to take the opportunity of Ruan Mei wanting to take him away to escape. As long as he could go to Herta Space Station with Ruan Mei, with both Herta and Ruan Mei, two great gods, he would not fear Phantylia.

Then he would find an opportunity to notify the General.

Ji Yuan believed that Herta would have the ability to contact General Jing Yuan privately, without being discovered by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus around him. That way, as long as Lord Jing Yuan made a move, Ji Yuan believed this matter would be resolved in the safest way possible.

As for losing some reward by spending less time with Phantylia, that loss was far less significant compared to Ji Yuan's safety.

But now that his whereabouts had been caught by Phantylia, escaping would be very difficult.

Especially her words; to ordinary people, her tone sounded like a reluctant lover about to be abandoned. But to Ji Yuan, who knew her true nature, Phantylia's words were a warning to Ji Yuan not to think of escaping.

He looked towards Ruan Mei.

Can you beat Phantylia?

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and felt that this matter was not easy. Let alone whether Ruan Mei was an Aeon of Intellect, even if Ruan Mei was an Aeon of Intellect, her combat power would be far inferior to an Aeon of Destruction.

How could a scientist fight a martial artist?

Hearing Phantylia's words, Ruan Mei stopped in her tracks and asked her, "What is your relationship with him?"

Phantylia said nothing, but walked to Ji Yuan's side, put down the folding fan in her hand, and reached out to take his other hand, which was not being held by Ruan Mei. A powerful force surged from her slender wrist, making Ji Yuan feel like he couldn't break free at all.

With one hand each, Ji Yuan felt immense pressure.

Not to mention the mental pressure, the purely physical pressure made Ji Yuan feel like he could be torn apart.

This wasn't a love triangle; it was an execution.

"I understand," Ruan Mei said, looking at Phantylia's actions, and nodded lightly to show she understood.

She looked at Ji Yuan and said, "For people like us, physical desires are too base. I don't quite understand it, but if you like it, I can help you."

As she spoke, she carefully examined Ji Yuan.

Phantylia picked up the folding fan she had just put down again.

You, you're not planning to do it yourself, are you?

Anything is possible for members of the Genius Club, no matter how outrageous their actions.

Phantylia glanced at Ruan Mei. Her aura was as gentle as water, her lips slightly parted, and her words carried the fragrance of orchids. If she were to use Tingyun's appearance, no matter how hard she tried, she wouldn't have this mature charm.

Especially since Ji Yuan was a foot fetishist, Ruan Mei's legs and feet were also very beautiful.

Influenced by Ji Yuan, Phantylia also liked to examine people's legs and feet when looking at them.

Ji Yuan had the same thought as Phantylia, looking at Ruan Mei with some surprise.

She...

Before he could think further, Ruan Mei carefully examined Ji Yuan and asked, "What body type do you like, what race, and what other organs do you want to add?"

"What are you doing!?"

Both Ji Yuan and Phantylia asked Ruan Mei in unison.

"Of course, I'm going to make one for you. What's wrong? Do you want to make it yourself? That's fine too."

Ruan Mei looked at the two of them with confusion, seemingly curious why they were looking at her like that.

Having such a desire, and then cultivating a new lifeform to satisfy that desire, isn't that normal?

Ji Yuan swallowed, feeling that the gap between his thinking and Ruan Mei's, a mad scientist, was too vast.

"Let's forget it, Teacher Ruan Mei, let's talk about something else."

Ji Yuan quickly waved his hands.

Ruan Mei glanced at him strangely.

This Ji Yuan is quite peculiar.

Phantylia stepped forward then, blocking Ji Yuan behind her, and said to Ruan Mei, "Ms. Ruan Mei, this is the difference between you and Ji Yuan. A pure scientist could never understand the feelings of a normal person. Ji Yuan, you know, besides simple carnal desires, also possesses emotions between people. If he follows you, he'll eventually lose these emotions too."

As she spoke, she glanced at Ji Yuan, admonishing him with a stern look.

You absolutely cannot become someone who only knows how to conduct scientific research.

Ji Yuan thought to himself:

"Well said, but you're Phantylia. I certainly don't want to be a mad scientist, but I want to live even more!"

So he looked at Phantylia and said earnestly, "Um, it's really fine if I study with Teacher Ruan Mei for a while."

I need to find a way to escape.

Hearing Ji Yuan's reply, Phantylia couldn't help but be stunned.

When did you become so passionate about science? Is this still the Ji Yuan I know?

As for Ji Yuan's answer, Ruan Mei appeared very satisfied.

Yes, only the desire for science is the best.

As for other desires, if Ji Yuan was unwilling to resolve them through creating life, she would think of other methods.

Ruan Mei cared greatly for geniuses who could grow to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with her.

As they were conversing, a reward appeared in Ji Yuan's mind.

[Your intelligence has been recognized by Ms. Ruan Mei. She is willing to acknowledge you as her student and teach you about life sciences. For this, the system specially rewards you with one Dream Creature, ten minutes of Ms. Ruan Mei's thought synchronization (divisible), and one thousand hours of Ms. Ruan Mei's lessons (divisible).]

What is this!?

Dream Creature? What is that?

Did I just get a divine beast?

My demands aren't high, just give me the combat power of a Keeper of the Celestial Forge.

Ji Yuan anticipated it greatly in his heart.

However, the subsequent annotation then poured a bucket of cold water on him.

[Dream Creature: A product based on the host's imagination, an ultimate creature that can fulfill the host's wishes (Note: The creation time of a Dream Creature is extended based on the host's imaginative ability. If the host desires a Dream Creature with the combat power of an Emissary, it would take approximately two thousand Aeon Epochs.)]

Two thousand Aeon Epochs? My bones would turn to dust.

Glancing at Phantylia, who was still holding his hand, Ji Yuan instantly felt that the Dream Creature's usefulness had diminished significantly.

Short creation time means little use, while extremely long creation time means it's too lengthy. What should I do?

[Ten minutes of Ms. Ruan Mei's thought synchronization (divisible): You can have Ms. Ruan Mei possess you anytime, anywhere, to assist you in thinking and judgment. Rest assured, you are the final decision-maker; Ms. Ruan Mei's virtual body has no right to make decisions for you.]

Is this giving me a ten-minute peak Ruan Mei experience card?

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

As he was thinking this, several more figures appeared before him.

It was Yanqing, Huohuo, and Sushang.

"Big Brother, are you really going to study life sciences with Ms. Ruan Mei? But your swordsmanship talent, isn't that a waste?"

Yanqing said to Ji Yuan.

His tone was anxious, and his expression was reluctant.

Huohuo also spoke softly to Ji Yuan at this moment, asking, "Te-Teacher, is your magic talent also, also going to be wasted? Of-Of course, if you, you decide, I, I will also support Teacher."

When her own teacher was scouted by a member of the Genius Club, Huohuo was initially very happy, even feeling honored as a student of her teacher. However, after being reminded by her tail, she thought of something.

If her teacher were taken away by Ms. Ruan Mei, where would she learn magic from?

With conflicted thoughts, she stammered out contradictory words to Ji Yuan.

Sushang also looked at her older brother.

"Um, um, forget it, I really can't think of any lines, why don't you just go."

She waved her hand dismissively.

Ji Yuan was furious.

What kind of sister is this!

But looking at the three of them, Ji Yuan knew he couldn't just leave.

It wasn't that what they said made sense, but seeing the three of them, he knew he had hostages in Phantylia's hands.

If he left, would she secretly attack Sushang and the other two from behind?

Even if he later informed General Jing Yuan of the intelligence, would he abandon the three for the sake of the entire Xianzhou?

To be honest, if I were in General Jing Yuan's position, I might hesitate with Yanqing as my student, but I'd try my best to preserve the other two.

Should I prioritize my own safety or Sushang and the other two's safety?

Ji Yuan fell into a state of indecision.

But fortunately, He wasn't alone.

"Everyone, please don't speak for now. Wait a moment."

Ji Yuan signaled for everyone to remain silent.

Then, He looked at his third reward.

[Ms. Ruan Mei's Course - 1000 Hours (Splittable)]

"I'm sorry, Ms. Ruan Mei. I'll have to ask you to be my strategist for now. It's all just attending a class anyway, any class will do."

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

As for not asking Ruan Mei, who was currently outside, one reason was his concern that their conversation might be leaked. Another reason was his fear that Ruan Mei would only consider how to protect him and not Yanqing and the others.

Ji Yuan closed his eyes and leaned directly against Phantylia's shoulder.

His consciousness then entered Ruan Mei's teaching space.

Upon seeing the virtual Ruan Mei sitting at the table, Ji Yuan immediately rushed forward.

"Help me, Ms. Ruan Mei!"

He quickly called out.
