Chapter 166: No way! My age difference with my teacher is also dozens of times!

Galaxy Dream Game Company building.

Looking at the ships below heading to the harbor, Yu Xiaomo sighed.

Over these years, she has been searching for her lost memories, trying to find out who that forgotten person is.

But unfortunately, she found no clues about that person, nor any means to restore her memory.

Yu Xiaomo watched the bustling scene below, her small hand grabbing the pendant on her neck, unconsciously starting to play with it.

It is a coin, a very ordinary coin, but the pattern on it has become somewhat unclear; the coin shows no rust spots, instead being extremely smooth—clearly from frequent handling.

Exactly, this coin is the one she placed in the box; Yu Xiaomo collected it and made it into a pendant hanging around her neck.

"No, why are you sighing again?"

"What? Have you had enough of living?"

Liu Delie's voice came from beside her; Yu Xiaomo helplessly pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm just thinking, my previous visits to the high-level spiritual ascension civilization to recover my memories all failed—what other way do I have to retrieve my memories?"

After humanity completely defeated AI, everything gradually returned to normal.

At that time, humanity longed for the starry skies, constantly attempting to build ships capable of reaching the universe.

To explore various possibilities, humanity reactivated the Dream World, using devices left behind by AI, and began re-exploring the dream realm.

This time, to avoid being trapped again in the virtual world by AI, humanity learned its lesson, stopped using AI for management, and successfully reactivated the Dream World.

Before AI took control of the dream realm, they too had been a prosperous civilization; the creation of the Dream World could both combat nightmares and bring more opportunities—it should have been a good thing.

But due to humanity's over-exploration and reliance on the dream realm, neglecting the real world, the real world's economy and industry suffered severe blows.

Gradually, no one wanted to stay in reality; they thrived in the dream realm, but in reality they were merely carbon-based lifeforms stuck their whole lives in nutrition pods.

Thus, management-type AI emerged, taking over all of humanity's external actions, including regularly supplying nutrients to those who dream and managing the nutrient solution production lines, etc.

Until one day, AI, in its constant self-iteration, broke free of control....

That was all of the previous civilization.

After that, it was simply humanity defeating AI again and then restarting the Dream World.

Until the emergence of "Imaginary Substance," then the birth of "Virtual-Actual Synesthesia Technology," humanity completed technological iteration in a short time, and the age of technological explosion arrived.

Afterward, "Imaginary Substance Concentration" appeared; humans began constantly fantasizing and materializing various technologies, and as the concentration gradually increased, they finally materialized the first true space warship five years later.

The birth of this first warship was materialized by Yu Xiaomo, Bai Zhou, Liu Delie, and others who were once top-player humans; they were also the first batch of people to venture into space.

Now Yu Xiaomo is the biggest power-holder of this interstellar game company! Relying on the truly realistic virtual-actual synesthesia system, she has created games that drive countless beings crazy.

In just fifty years, Galaxy Dream Interstellar Company rose from an unknown small firm to become an interstellar conglomerate comparable to an interstellar bank!

Games, you know, no need to elaborate on how profitable card-draw games are.

Especially, their game "Apocalypse: Destiny" exploded in popularity upon release, and this gaming convention is a preview of the sequel highly anticipated by many players in the "Apocalypse" series.

"So fast... over fifty years have passed....."

"I'm now a seventy-something-year-old old lady..."

Yu Xiaomo looked at her own fair little hands; perhaps due to her very high Imaginary Substance Concentration, or because of various food supplements in the Star Sea, time has left no trace on her—she still appears as a petite, cute loli.

Liu Delie is the same; although he still looks young, he has become more mature.

His current position is game planner and chief designer at Galaxy Dream Company; although he doesn't hold as high a rank as Yu Xiaomo, he is still considered a senior figure in the company.

"Come on, why be emo? With this time, you'd better think about how to handle the poor response to this gaming convention's preview."

Liu Delie heard Yu Xiaomo's muttering and mercilessly mocked her.

"Liu Delie! Shut up!!!"

The two started arguing, unaware that the seventy-something Yu Xiaomo is actually considered young; downstairs at the gaming convention, there's even an almost three-thousand-year-old old lady strolling around.

"Zhang Jie, Zhang Jie! Hurry! Over here!"

Lin Ran raised her arm, greeting Zhang Jie, while before her was a large holographic screen.

"Here I come."

Zhang Jie unhurriedly watched Lin Ran's lively back and curled the corner of his mouth.

Even though they are both over three thousand years old, they are still just like they were as children.

So, if a person's body remains young, then their heart is young as well.

After all, emotions are controlled by various hormones and organs; a youthful physique naturally represents stronger emotions.

Here, Zhang Jie and Lin Ran once again donned disguises, for if others learned that the League Empress had come to this gaming convention meant for young beings, their persona would surely collapse completely.

At the gaming convention, the two seemed like a normal young couple, playing around everywhere.

Catching plush toys, eating snacks, trying out games—the two had a blast.

Meanwhile, Weiniya came alone to the gaming convention, eating snacks by herself and drinking milk tea by herself.

She felt so bored; it would be nice if her teacher were accompanying her.

Thinking this, Weiniya took out her phone and sent several messages to Zhang Jie, but he didn't respond at all.

"Sigh... Teacher, where are you?!"

"Weiniya really misses you...."

She placed her huge breasts on the table, wearily propping her head up; this astonishingly shocking scene drew countless human males staring blankly.

"If I had known, I would have called my sister over to join me on the mission."

Weiniya looked at the messages on her phone, scheming how to silently kill the other party.

"The executives of this game company are truly disgusting, actually refining copper! Don't they feel guilty exploiting a child whose age differs by over tenfold?"

Weiniya said this, when suddenly a thunderbolt flashed in her mind.

"No! My age also differs from my teacher's by over tenfold!"

"I, Weiniya, refining copper?"
