Chapter 47
Meng Yi's face darkened, and he said testily: "Put on some clothes, quickly!"
It was fortunate that he hadn't installed any useless parts on the "Psionic Kin · Red Queen" and had compressed her body proportions by 10:1, otherwise the scene would have been too strange.
"Oh."
Red Queen rolled her eyes at Meng Yi and replied with a pout, clearly displeased.
She then mimicked Meng Yi's viral mimicry and created a beautiful black-red gothic dress for herself.
Little Red Queen lifted her feet, and a pair of quite stylish little round shoes were constructed.
The cocky Red Queen put one hand on her hip, leaned forward, tapped her cheek with her right index finger, and asked with a smile: "Director, do I look good?"
"Shut up."
"Connect to the 'Memory Hall' and store the 'Bai Xue' backup."
Meng "Steel Straight Man" Yi said flatly, as the spreading black-red threads connected with Red Queen's fingers.
The materials of both their bodies came from the same source, so there were no compatibility issues during information exchange.
However, every cell in Meng Yi's body was infused with his own will, allowing for 'regeneration from a drop of blood,' and he possessed the "Biochemical · Psionic" skill tree, making his combat power extraordinary.
Red Queen's cells were coordinated and planned by her, with her abilities focused on auxiliary calculation and storage; in terms of pure computational power, she was stronger than Meng Yi currently.
It was the difference between a generalist and a specialist; after all, Meng Yi created the "Psionic Kin · Red Queen" to fill his shortcomings and assist in scientific research and exploration, not expecting her to participate in combat.
Of course, if necessary, to save time, it wouldn't be impossible to create a kin specializing in the combat field.
Great Will and the Twelve Apostles?
That sounded pretty good.
After a long while, Meng Yi and Red Queen completed the 'information sharing.'
"Evolution Paradise," "Dungeon Derivative Worldview," "Warhammer Universe View"...
Little Red Queen was dumbfounded and sighed: "Director, it's truly amazing that you've managed to survive until now."
Meng Yi was silent; he couldn't refute it, nor did he want to.
"Go play by yourself, I'm going to get some sleep."
He rejected the chatty invitation from the dim-witted Red Queen.
Meng Yi retracted the spreading black-red threads, his lab coat turned back into a long trench coat, and he dug out a folding bed from the corner of his exclusive room, assembling it in a few quick motions.
He dimmed the lights of the dome and lay down on the folding bed, closing his eyes.
He hadn't had a proper rest for far too long.
In the Selection Dungeon, he had been "cultivating immortality" 24 hours a day, and in 30 days, he hadn't rested for many hours in total.
Almost every moment, he had been activating "Psionic" power and "Micro-domain Interference" for research and combat...
Enduring the agonizing transformation of "Longevity · Type I · Veronica," "Longevity · Type II · Ouroboros," and "Longevity · Type III · Viral Progenitor," and initially curing Liuying's "Entropy Loss Syndrome"...
Tampering with the minds of Umbrella Corporation employees, tampering with the minds of Blackwatch members...
Thinking about the AI era + Blackwatch + Great Nirvana Plan...
Returning to the "Evolution Paradise" to understand various functions, rushing non-stop to the "Omnipotent Enhancement Area" to attempt the "Omnipotent Domain," and digesting the "Super · Bai Xue" purchased at a great cost...
Modifying the life form of "Artificial Intelligence · Red Queen," creating "Psionic Kin · Red Queen"...
The experiences of over a month were richer than a year in the Warhammer shit-pit.
Meng Yi's tense mind relaxed slightly, and he immediately entered a state of deep sleep.
Little Red Queen, who had suffered 'cold violence,' let out an indignant 'hmph.'
Her eyes, as magnificent as pure rubies, blinked and blinked, and she sighed like a precocious child.
"Eh, if this home didn't have me, it would fall apart sooner or later!"
Red Queen waved her little hand, and viral cells constructed a black-red parasol; she opened it and started running.
"Woohoo~ taking off~~"
Red Queen, the size of an adult's palm, jumped off the laboratory bench; the sturdy parasol slowed her fall, and the thrusters added to the parasol's surface carried her flying toward the folding bed not far away.
"Paratrooper No. 1 · Red Queen, landed safely!"
"Huh? What a strange saying, what kind of memories does the Director have!"
The open parasol closed, and Red Queen stepped on Meng Yi's chest, jumping up and down with a wild, queen-like laugh.
"What Director, what Bai Mo, what Meng Yi, aren't they all being stepped on by this young lady now?"
"I, Red Queen, am the strongest!"
After amusing herself for a while, Little Red Queen lost interest, so she sat cross-legged on Meng Yi's chest, resting her back against his chin, finding a comfortable angle to listen to his rhythmic breathing.
The 'peace of mind' that "Artificial Intelligence" could never bring made Red Queen's little hand rest unconsciously over her heart.
"Strange, such a strange feeling, is this 'life,' is this what it means to be 'alive'?"
Little Red Queen scratched her smooth, delicate, satin-like black hair and said in a strange, goofy tone: "Oh no! Red Queen is growing a brain!"
"Eh."
"The Director is asleep, so I'll sleep too; the feeling of humans sleeping must be pretty good, right?"
Red Queen grabbed Meng Yi's collar, and the viral structure, which had the corresponding permissions and the same origin, changed the outer form of the trench coat into two thin blankets, one large and one small.
She got up to cover the 'Director' with the blanket.
Red Queen found a spot right next to Meng Yi in the narrow gap of the folding bed, covered herself with her little blanket, yawned, and said: "Well then, Director, goodnight~"
In the blink of an eye, three days and three nights passed.
Meng Yi, having restored his normal human sleep schedule, relaxed his mind and balanced work with rest.
While immersed in research in his exclusive room (laboratory), he would also go to the "Free Trade Area" to broaden his horizons.
When tired or sleepy, he would sleep and rest; when hungry or thirsty, he would drink the remaining high-concentration nutrients with Red Queen.
Little Red Queen wrinkled her little face, pinched her nose, and picked up a test tube to pour the concentrated nutrients into her mouth.
After swallowing with a 'gulp,' she let out a burp and complained testily: "Nutrients taste terrible, I'm about to throw up!"
"Director, can we eat something that humans are supposed to eat?"
Meng Yi summoned his personal panel, pointed to the wealth column, and said flatly: "No money."
"I spent all my money to build you; my wallet is cleaner than my face right now."
"Eat more while there are nutrients; in a few days, when we go back to my hometown, we'll have to eat expired nutrient paste made of dead rat meat full of viruses, radiation, bacteria, and pollution."
"WHAT!!!!!"
Upon hearing this, Little Red Queen felt terrible and bristled: "Wahhh! Director! You're too much! Too much! Is there no justice, is there no law left in this world!!"
"What kind of master abuses an underage employee like you?!"
"Making me work is one thing, not paying me is fine, but not even providing basic food and housing—you're just a black-hearted, evil big capitalist who deserves to be hung from a lamppost!"
Meng Yi, busy with his work, pointed toward the door and said casually: "Why don't you go out and beg, earn some money to support my experiments. Or you could run away from home and find a rich master."
Red Queen tilted her little head and huffed in a sulk: "I won't, I won't, I won't! Why should I? I just won't!"
"Isn't it just eating concentrated nutrients? Every extra mouthful I eat is one less for you, and when the time comes, I'll starve you to death, you bad guy!"
With Little Red Queen's banter, Meng Yi's dull daily life gained a few splashes of vibrant color.
【Notification: Current "Evolution Paradise" stay time: 0, returning to the original worldview soon.】
【Notification: Time until the next dungeon mission starts: 30 days.】
"Red Queen, it's time to go back."
"Yes, Director."
Little Red Queen ran over with a 'thump-thump-thump' and hugged Meng Yi's right hand; her human-form body melted into his palm, turning into a black-red glove.
Before leaving, Meng Yi checked his personal panel.
