Chapter 516: Heart broken by the Cat Cake

"Good heavens, could those so-called non-humanoid visitors be the dangerous curios collected by Herta?"

"My god, just how many curios does Herta have collected?"

"Just the ones on the surface probably have a significant number, plus the dangerous curios here, tsk tsk tsk, Ms. Herta's collection style is quite unique."

"In other words, besides Miss Ruan Mei's life cultivation, there are also unknown dangerous curios? No wonder Herta had to set permissions here. If an ordinary person came here, I'm afraid it would really be easy to get into trouble."

【In the game's story, listening to the Leftover-Reheating Robot's voice, Stelle directly asks for the map of this place.】

【The Leftover-Reheating Robot quickly replies: "Basement Level 1, Transit Hub, hiss."】

【"Basement Level 2, Shuttle, Petri Dish, Dangerous Curios Storage, hiss."】

【"Corridor, dangerous, hiss."】

【"Receiving, hiss, visitors. May I ask what your needs are?"】

【After listening to the Leftover-Reheating Robot introduce the locations here, Stelle asks again: "Where should I go to find the 【Petri Dish】?"】

【The Leftover-Reheating Robot emits a voice: "Conclusion: Unable to enter. Hiss. Probability: 50%. There are still paths that can be queried."】

【"Judgment: Wayfinding request, hiss."】

【"Suggestion: Head to the basement, look for cultivation path records, hiss."】

【After getting the conclusion, Stelle immediately follows the path pointed out by the robot and arrives at an even lower area.】

【After passing through a dim corridor, Stelle arrives at a well-equipped laboratory.】

【The light here is bright, the equipment is complete. In front of a piece of equipment, Stelle finds the video data left by Ruan Mei. It is clear that this is a laboratory where Ruan Mei once stayed.】

【In the video record—】

【Ruan Mei's voice seems to be recording the progress of the cultivation experiment: "The spark of the Phase Flame is very interesting. Unfortunately, the research was not completed before it disappeared; I have started a new attempt."】

【"This time, the two samples are in good growth condition. I added personal taste preferences into the 【Concept】. I am not sure of the result of doing this."】

【"They simultaneously possess two emotional traits: cute, weak, sensitive, tearful; fierce, instigating, overbearing, confident."】

【"Interestingly, they also possess a tendency; missing their creator, producing a strange 【emotion】 towards her, like the natural existence of an infant towards a mother, life towards food, and person towards person."】

Luo Fu Xianzhou.

In a teahouse where players gather.

A Foxian woman is surprised: "Is what Miss Ruan Mei said the cheese lava cake from before?"

"They, sure enough, like that little guy, there isn't just one."

The Foxian woman's best friend's eyes light up and she says: "More than just one, there are many more. Listening to Miss Ruan Mei, their personalities are also different. Ah, I really want to hold one in my arms and knead it to my heart's content."

A player at another table is also thoughtful and says: "So that's why the little guy encountered before was very interested in the cheese lava cake, even thinking that it was the taste of happiness. It seems Miss Ruan Mei added her own taste for pastries and snacks."】

The adult Xianzhou man sighs: "So, Miss Ruan Mei knows that the lifeforms she cultivated are all missing her?"

"But for such life, using a free-range method is somewhat irresponsible, right?"

The companion next to the adult Xianzhou man says: "To be honest, so far, my opinion of Miss Ruan Mei is a bit unfavorable. If we talk about ability, knowledge, and talent, Miss Ruan Mei is undoubtedly an amazing genius."

"However, perhaps this is the common problem of geniuses. The only things that can catch their eyes are knowledge, the unknown, Aeons, etc."

Another Foxian man sighs: "To be realistic, those lifeforms of Miss Ruan Mei are just her experimental subjects."

"It's just that the field of life is not just like that. Once they have independent thoughts, then this life cannot be simply regarded as a consumable life without spirit or intelligence."

【In the game screen, just as Stelle is checking the video information, she suddenly feels a movement outside the door.】

【Following the movement, Stelle arrives at a room ahead and sees a small thing that looks like a mung bean cake trembling slightly on the ground. The movement seems to be coming from it.】

【Through interaction, suddenly, this little thing emits a sound like a kitten: (Meow...)】

【It is very clear that this is also Ruan Mei's creation.】

【Stelle looks at this cute little guy hiding its head and is somewhat incredulous: (... Is this the Big Trouble in Ruan Mei's mouth?)】

【(It's just a different flavor...)】

【Looking at this little guy emitting kitten sounds, it calls itself Red Bean Gray-Gray flavor.】

【Although she doesn't know why she gradually understands the meaning of this little guy, Stelle doesn't care and continues to communicate with it: "Are you hiding in the pastry?"】

【【Ruan Mei】's creation meows timidly, and Stelle understands its meaning: it says it is one with the shell.】

【This little guy has a completely different personality from the previous cheese lava cake. Compared to the cheese lava cake, its appearance is clearly more introverted, timid, and unconfident.】

【It looks very sorrowful, and tears pour out.】

"Ahhhhhhh, I'm going to be killed by cuteness!"

"So cute!"

"Red Bean Gray-Gray? Did I hear about it before when I found that little guy, the cheese lava cake?"

"This little guy looks so timid and shy, it really makes people's hearts ache."

"One is extremely extroverted and confident, one is extremely timid and cowardly. It really is like what Miss Ruan Mei said, they all have different personalities."

"Such a cute little guy, the sound is like a kitten, and it's a pastry. How about calling it Cat Cake?"

"Hahahaha, what a fitting name. Little guy, little Cat Cake, don't cry anymore."

"Wait, have you guys noticed that this little guy's appearance feels a bit familiar?"

"Familiar? Does it? It should be the first time seeing it, right? The appearance of the cheese lava cake before was also different from it."

"I seem to have seen it somewhere. Where was it?"

"I remember now, guys, wait for me to take a screenshot for you!"

"Hm? Wait, could it be..."

"CatCake. jpg"

"Holy crap!"

"Holy crap!"

"Holy crap!"

"Holy crap!"

"Holy crap!"

"Who could have thought that these little guys appeared at that time?"

"Isn't this the little guys that appeared in Aventurine's room in the short film played before that concert that shook the galaxy?"

"I was wondering what kind of novel little pet this was at the time. Now it seems this is an Easter egg!"

"I don't know what means Aventurine used to adopt such cute little guys. I really want to know the channel."

"Uh... what if it's money power? After all, as one of the Stonehearts, an executive of the Interastral Peace Corporation, things that can be solved with money are not problems."

On a planet in the universe.

Or rather, Pier Point.

In a luxurious room.

Aventurine looks at the little guys appearing in the game's story and the barrage in the live stream, shakes his head: "Oh my, I really haven't raised these guys."

"But if there's a chance, adopting some seems not bad."

Aventurine's mouth hooks up a faint arc, playing with the exquisite chips in his hand, and mutters: "Herta Space Station? People from the Genius Society are not easy to deal with."

Just then, Aventurine's phone suddenly rings. It's clearly someone calling.

Looking at the name on the phone, Aventurine smiles helplessly and answers the phone: "What wind blew you, a busy person, to me and called me?"

On the other end of the phone, Topaz's voice comes: "Aventurine, that Cat Cake, did you see it?"

Aventurine smiles slightly and says: "Of course I saw it. Why, do you want to adopt one?"

Topaz says excitedly: "Does that even need to be said? Such a cute little guy, since that Miss Ruan Mei doesn't care about them, why shouldn't I take care of them!" ===== CHAPTER 517 =====
