Simulated Ruan Mei: A Way to Deal with Phantylia — Second Update

"What happened to him?!"

Feeling Ji Yuan close his eyes and collapse onto her shoulder, Phantylia was somewhat bewildered.

Huohuo and Sushang hurried over to check on Bai Ye.

Ruan Mei could not help but chuckle at his reaction.

Seeing Ruan Mei smile like that, Yanqing stepped forward first and questioned her, "What happened to Big Brother?"

"Don't worry. He merely entered a state of deep thought."

Ruan Mei answered leisurely.

Yet Yanqing, who stood before her at that moment, found that he could not move his entire body. He held his sword, frozen in place.

Everyone else also looked confused.

Since when did thinking involve suddenly passing out?

Phantylia asked Sushang, "Changchang, did your brother act like this when he thought before?"

"How would I know? If I had known, I wouldn't have happily assumed last time that he was an academic failure like me."

Sushang shook her head in confusion.

She really did not know anything!

"What problem have you run into?"

Simulated Ruan Mei looked at Ji Yuan as he entered and asked.

"What should I do if Destruction Lord Phantylia is hunting me down?"

"Is the Propagation Emanator I created there? With it dealing with Phantylia, plus me at your side, defeating her would not be a problem."

Simulated Ruan Mei spoke with great confidence.

"There's no Propagation Emanator, and it's not even convenient for you to intervene."

Ji Yuan thought, Who knows how many years it will be before you successfully develop a Propagation Emanator? Where am I supposed to find one?

"Then at your current level, there's no saving you. Just wait for death."

Simulated Ruan Mei said bluntly.

Ji Yuan said, "...I think I might still be worth saving."

He briefly told Simulated Ruan Mei about what was happening outside.

After describing the situation he was in, he also listed the items he currently possessed.

He told Simulated Ruan Mei about everything, including the dream creature, the silent teleportation device, the Suiyang Subjugation Art, the Yang Theft Art, swordsmanship, and so on.

Since he was asking her for help, Ji Yuan naturally did not dare conceal the things he had on him.

"Your experiences and the items you possess are truly interesting. Especially that creature which can be created based on your thoughts—even as the foremost expert in life sciences, I have no idea how such a thing could be done."

After hearing about Ji Yuan's items, Simulated Ruan Mei nodded and spoke to him.

"Stop worrying about whether they're interesting. Think about how to ensure Changchang, Huohuo, Yanqing, and I all make it out safely. I want everyone to be safe, not just myself."

Simulated Ruan Mei thought for a moment, then said to Ji Yuan:

"This matter is not difficult."

Ji Yuan asked with interest, "Not difficult? What scheme are you planning to use? Luring the tiger away from the mountain, or switching the beams and pillars?"

"That is not my specialty. I am a life sciences researcher, not some military strategist. If you asked me to engage in schemes and plots, even a third-rate strategist from a backward nation on some fringe planet would do better than I could." Simulated Ruan Mei answered Ji Yuan.

"My specialty is solving problems through life sciences."

"Then what should we do?"

Ji Yuan did not particularly care.

Any method was fine as long as it solved the problem.

"First, under the current circumstances, I do not recommend that you board the real Ruan Mei's ship. Your safety and Ruan Mei's safety should not be a problem. Even without an Emanator creature, it would not be difficult for the two of you to preserve your lives. But as you said, the safety of the remaining three cannot be guaranteed."

Ji Yuan nodded.

However, Simulated Ruan Mei changed her tone at that moment and said to him, "But I still advise you to speak with Ruan Mei, only through a method known solely to the two of you. Once she learns of it, she will naturally pass the information to Herta, who can then relay it to that Luofu General."

Ji Yuan asked Simulated Ruan Mei:

"Hm? What method should I use to send it?"

"Create a new life-form, then place the information inside it."

As Simulated Ruan Mei spoke, she picked up a vial from beside the table.

Her method was very simple. There were no schemes involved; she intended to completely overwhelm Phantylia with technology.

That was the most effective method.

If they resorted to all sorts of calculations about human nature, let alone Ji Yuan, even Ruan Mei would not be a match for Phantylia, an expert in that field.

So they might as well handle the matter on a different track.

No matter how skilled you were at manipulating hearts, if your technological level was insufficient, you would still fail to understand what you could not understand.

"Come. I'll teach you."

Simulated Ruan Mei said to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan silently stepped forward and began learning from Simulated Ruan Mei.

With his prior foundation, adding information was only a minor adjustment. Ji Yuan mastered it in less than several dozen hours.

After successfully encoding a tongue twister into a creature's genes and creating a spiral-shaped organism, Ji Yuan asked Simulated Ruan Mei:

"What should we do next?"

"Next comes the means to preserve your life."

Simulated Ruan Mei took out another vial.

"I have an idea that has yet to be tested, and it is perfectly suited for you right now."

"What idea?"

"Encode the techniques you know into an organism's genes, then cultivate creatures specialized in dealing with Suiyang. The biological power you can control cannot be too varied. It must be specialized, then used in numbers to deal with Phantylia."

Simulated Ruan Mei looked at Ji Yuan, signaling for him to demonstrate his techniques.

Spell creatures?

Ji Yuan found Simulated Ruan Mei's idea novel as well.

But thinking about it, it really was effective.

Ji Yuan wrote out the techniques, and Simulated Ruan Mei immediately began researching the fusion of techniques and organisms.

Her level was such that she obtained a formula in no time.

Ji Yuan merely needed to follow that method.

Taking the formula, Ji Yuan asked Simulated Ruan Mei:

"Will we be done after making these?"

"If you merely want to keep your life, those creatures will naturally suffice. Ruan Mei also certainly will not let anything happen to you. But if you want more than that, then it is not over yet."

A faintly fervent glint appeared in her eyes.

"What are you planning to do? Let's not take this kind of risk."

"Do you want a portion of Phantylia's power?"

Simulated Ruan Mei asked Ji Yuan.

"Is it dangerous?"

"Somewhat."

At that moment, Ji Yuan's mind began a fierce internal struggle.

Should he wait safely for the General to handle it, or take a risk for profit?

His thoughts battled back and forth several times, but as they did, Ji Yuan's eyes grew increasingly excited.

"Let's do it!"

He said to Simulated Ruan Mei.

"Not bad." Simulated Ruan Mei nodded.

"Next is the time for me to design a dream creature for you."

Simulated Ruan Mei said to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan: Tingyun, My Name Works at the Space Station Too! — First Update

"How do you plan to design it?"

Hearing Simulated Ruan Mei say that she would design a new type of dream creature, Ji Yuan felt excited and looked at her expectantly.

What would she create?

The perfect creature that would quietly appear beside Phantylia, absorb the energy within her body before she realized it, then return all that energy to him?

"Phantylia is an Emanator of Destruction. Do not indulge in unrealistic fantasies." Simulated Ruan Mei glanced at Ji Yuan and said, "There is one and only one opportunity to take a portion of her power."

Ji Yuan made a gesture for her to continue.

"Phantylia chose not to possess a body and instead used a manifested form, which proves that her purpose is not merely to stir up trouble on the Star-skiff. She must be planning to steal something from the Luofu Starfaring Vessel to benefit herself. In that case, we must seize the moment she succeeds and take a large amount of energy."

"Unfortunately, although the time outside is, according to you, a hundred years before my own era, I know nothing about this history. Otherwise, we could directly learn Phantylia's true objective."

Simulated Ruan Mei spoke slowly to Ji Yuan.

Her tone was calm, as though she were discussing something insignificant. But she had been capable of creating an Emanator from scratch; plotting against an Emanator of Destruction now was something Simulated Ruan Mei did not care about in the slightest.

She continued calmly, "Single-use organisms are not difficult to make. You will accumulate a large number of genetically engineered creatures bearing techniques that absorb Suiyang energy, then use those creatures to briefly seal Phantylia at the very moment she is about to succeed..."

Actually, it was quite difficult to make.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

But she was Ruan Mei from a hundred years in the future.

The enormous gap between his abilities and hers was perfectly normal.

"Wait, something is wrong." Ji Yuan recalled something and asked Simulated Ruan Mei, "I'm already going to notify the General. Won't he deal with Phantylia directly once he knows? How could she possibly have a chance to succeed?"

Simulated Ruan Mei said flatly, "If it were the General of the Yaoging Star-skiff where you were born, that would indeed be possible. But according to what you said, the Luofu General is a strategist-type commander. Such commanders most enjoy making their opponents believe they are about to succeed, leading them step by step into a trap, and only acting at the final moment. What we must do is take risks amid the contest between both sides and profit from it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure. Back when I conducted biological experiments in certain places, the local rulers had similar considerations."

Hearing that, Ji Yuan suppressed his urge to complain.

On some planets, your reputation probably isn't much better than Destruction Lord Phantylia's, is it?

"Alright, next I'll begin outlining the organism for you..."

Seeing that Ji Yuan had leaned against her shoulder for such a long time without responding, Phantylia looked at Ruan Mei in confusion.

"Is he really alright?"

Though Ji Yuan leaning on her shoulder posed no problem given her physical condition, his prolonged unconsciousness still concerned her.

Ruan Mei looked at Phantylia in puzzlement. "It has only been a little over one of your Star-skiff hours. What is there to worry about?"
