Chapter 514

【"My lifeform recovery... isn't finished yet. There isn't just one of them. There are others, stored in a certain sealed cabin."】

【"Herta uses that place to receive guests from all over the galaxy, or members of the Genius Society. But due to the Legion's invasion, it is no longer open to the public."】

【"Now, it houses my 【Big Trouble】."】

"Good heavens, there are more? Just how many experiments did Miss Ruan Mei do here?"

"Are there other cute little guys like that cheese lava cake? Sob sob sob, I'm so looking forward to it."

"If only it were like that. Since Miss Ruan Mei calls it 【Big Trouble】, I'm afraid it might be somewhat unexpected."

"It wouldn't be a cheese lava cake many times larger, would it? Hehehe, that wouldn't be unacceptable either."

"Speaking of which, that little guy was really pitiful. I hope Ruan Mei has time to go see it later."

【Stelle is clearly surprised, not expecting there to be other cabins on the space station.】

【Regarding Stelle's shock, Ruan Mei nods and smiles: "Mm, the secrets of the space station are far more than you think, and so is Herta."】

【"Some information can be revealed: that place is also used to receive non-humanoid visitors, and there is a shuttle connecting to outer space."】

【"I'll give you my command card. Give me your hand, and I'll record your fingerprint into it."】

【"My dear, stay safe. If you encounter a danger you truly cannot resolve, give me a signal, and I will personally step in, regardless of the consequences."】

【"Remember, in the center of the cabin, there is a huge... petri dish. That is where my 【Big Trouble】 is stored."】

【Speaking of this, Ruan Mei sighs softly and says: "After you return, come to the platform to find me. You will understand everything then."】

In a teahouse where players gather.

A player looks at what Ruan Mei said in the game's story and says with some unease: "【Big Trouble】, a huge petri dish, I have a feeling of unease."】

An adult Xianzhou man also says: "Even Ruan Mei calls it 【Big Trouble】, it seems it really is somewhat tricky."

A Foxian woman nods and says: "A huge petri dish, could it be that Ruan Mei cultivated an uncontrollable big monster?"

The Foxian woman's best friend says: "That's possible. It seems there will be a fierce battle next."

Welt Yang nods slightly and says: "It seems this Miss Ruan Mei of the Genius Society really did cultivate a 【Big Trouble】 on Herta's space station, which is why she had Stelle go help clean it up."

Himeko also recalls the previous conversation between Ruan Mei and Herta and says: "It seems Herta is probably not completely unaware of this. After all, it's her own territory. It's just that she seems to intend to 【turn a blind eye】 to Ruan Mei's actions..."

Following Dan Heng also ponders: "Is Herta confident that the 【Big Trouble】 Ruan Mei speaks of won't cause any waves, or is she simply indifferent?"

Geniuses and madmen are sometimes no different.

March 7th sighs and says: "I think, this guy's soul flew away after being called 'dear' by Miss Ruan Mei a few times. Since it's big trouble, I don't know if there will be any dangerous battles. We should have been called along..."

As she says this, March 7th's expression freezes: "Uh... you really went alone? Are you that brave?"

Following Dan Heng, Himeko, and Welt Yang look at the giggling Stelle and sigh helplessly.

This child is just too naive.

【In the game's story, after separating from Ruan Mei, Stelle leaves the Simulated Universe and arrives at the atrium, preparing to take the elevator to the secret cabin Ruan Mei mentioned.】

【On the way, Stelle is also very curious and mutters to herself: ——】

【(The sealed cabin... what will it look like?)】

【After boarding the elevator, based on the permissions given by Ruan Mei, the elevator's interior appears exceptionally clear in the gloom.】

【As the elevator takes Stelle continuously downward, the light becomes increasingly dim, as if it is taking Stelle into a bottomless abyss, and the atmosphere gradually reveals a hint of unease.】

【When the elevator reaches the bottom, Stelle looks at the dim and quiet atmosphere outside the elevator and gulps, clearly feeling a palpitation at this scene that resembles a horror movie.】

【After stepping out of the elevator, Stelle peeks around, clearly unaccustomed to this scene, fearing that a monster might suddenly pop out. Whether it's powerful or not is another matter; just being in this place is scary enough.】

【Perhaps it's a case of fearing what you expect, but vaguely, Stelle sees a blurry shadow not far ahead. With a mechanical sound, the blurry shadow slowly turns around.】

【A red mechanical eyeball with a damaged face reveals an eerie sight, flickering with electric sparks and emitting a series of harsh sounds.】

【At this moment, the elevator behind her makes a sound again and ascends on its own.】

【Stelle is startled and loses her voice. Hearing the elevator, she turns back to look, only to see that the elevator has heartlessly left her behind.】

【Turning back around, the machine that was flickering with electric sparks has disappeared, as if everything were an illusion.】

【Only the look of terror on Stelle's face is the only reality.】

"Holy crap, what the hell is this?"

"This scene, you really can't deny it, it has the atmosphere of a horror movie."

"Herta Space Station has a place like this? I've really learned something today."

"Scared the hell out of me, this is too creepy."

"Is the game planning to change its style and go for a horror route?"

"The Trailblazer is scared silly, okay? Who can handle this?"

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! I'm most afraid of horror movies. This part scared me to death."

"Calm down, calm down. This is still just inside Herta Space Station. Don't panic. Imagine your own basement; aren't you suddenly not afraid anymore?"

"Doesn't work. Still afraid."

"I have to say, the visual direction of this part really fits a horror movie perfectly. The lighting, the atmosphere, the scene—it's simply a perfect horror movie filming location."

"Stop talking, the more you talk, the colder I feel."

March 7th looks at the game's story, subconsciously leans back, and rests on the sofa: "What is this? Scared me to death."

Stelle, who is to the side, also presses her chest, clearly also scared quite a bit.

March 7th catches her breath, looks at Stelle, rolls her eyes at her, and says: "Now you know to be afraid? See if you dare to be so reckless alone again."

【In the game's story, Stelle bites her lip, gulps, and keeps looking around.】

【Suddenly, the passage ahead lights up with a glow. Although it is still somewhat dim, at least the road surface can be seen.】

【As the cutscene animation ends, the game character prompts to go find the mysterious little robot from before.】

【After some searching, Stelle finds the little robot in the corridor.】

【What's interesting is that the name marked on the subtitles for this little robot is—Leftover-Reheating Robot.】

【As Stelle interacts with it, the Leftover-Reheating Robot emits a "hiss... hiss..." sound.】

【Stelle looks at this little robot and is also somewhat confused—】

【(What's going on with this guy? It looks different from the one in the Master Control Zone...)】

【Just as Stelle is pondering to herself, this Leftover-Reheating Robot begins to emit voice: "Hiss, Ms. Herta, opening cabin. Hiss, used to receive, alien species, galactic visitors."】

【"High-alert area, hiss. Service personnel, inorganic life, hiss."】

【"Authorized to: Ms. 【Ruan Mei】. Ms. Herta 187: Whatever, as long as she's happy. Hiss."】

In a teahouse where players gather.

An adult Xianzhou man slaps his thigh and says with a sudden realization: "I remember now. Miss Ruan Mei said before that this place is for receiving non-humanoid visitors and is operated by robots. Because people generally don't come here, it seems so quiet and dark."】

A player at the next table says with some unease: "Non-humanoid visitors? Won't there be any terrifying monsters?"

A person next to him reveals a wicked smile and says: "This possibility is very high, oh. Don't forget, Miss Ruan Mei's 【Big Trouble】 is also here."】

"And it's not receiving non-humanoid creatures that came here. Eww! In this scene, in this atmosphere, it really makes people feel uncomfortable."

The Foxian woman listens to the Leftover-Reheating Robot and can't help but laugh: "Hahaha, it seems Herta is really tolerant of Ruan Mei. 'As long as she's happy'—suddenly I want to ship them, what should I do?"

The Foxian woman's best friend is already used to it, covers her forehead, and says: "Ship, you can ship anything."

The adult Xianzhou man next to them and his companion look at each other, both revealing expressions of horror—

Holy crap! Lesbians!

Exalted Sanctum.

Jing Yuan looks at the words of this Leftover-Reheating Robot and smiles: "Ms. Herta and Ms. Ruan Mei, their relationship seems even better than imagined."

Yanqing also nods. Even he knows that this Herta has an indifferent attitude even towards the Astral Express.

But facing Ruan Mei, she is so tolerant. Perhaps there is a mutual recognition as fellow geniuses, but it cannot be denied that they might really have a very close relationship.

As for the word "friend," for geniuses like them, it might be somewhat irrelevant.

March 7th looks at the Leftover-Reheating Robot in the game's story and doesn't quite understand why this robot has to make a hissing sound every time it says a sentence. ===== CHAPTER 515 =====
