Chapter 17 We're already at the space station, please let me go...
In the simulated universe, Qingyuan clearly felt that the power of nothingness within her body was being gradually worn away, and in its place, the power of intellect began to surge.
Simply put—she needs to start using her brain. My God, what a heavy blow this is for someone who's always laughing and joking like an idiot.
Fortunately, Xing kept her ethereal spirit "Bubble" by her side to keep her company.
"Your star doesn't want you anymore? Is it going to go find the Chimera Bubble?"
The bubble bobbed as if it understood, or perhaps it was asking, "And what about you?"
The conversation between the human and the spirit was interrupted by Estella's voice: "Miss Qingyuan, a guest has arrived. Lady Black Tower says she needs your cooperation in conducting some experiments."
Qingyuan looked behind Aista, her face immediately filled with shock: "Qingque! How come you're here too?"
"The Grand Diviner said he would send me to the Black Tower Space Station to assist with an experiment... I never expected it to be this kind of experiment." Qingque spread her hands helplessly.
"It's said she can fully control your power. Share some with her, and we'll do a test," Black Tower's voice came from the side.
Qingyuan was bored out of her mind and wanted to test her limits: "Okay, I'll start by launching the 'Ten Immortal Boat' to test the waters."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phantom images of three divine lords appeared behind Qingque.
"Get her some opponents, preferably those mapped from your memories," Black Tower urged.
"I see. Let's try Sam first."
"Target confirmed, scorched earth operation to commence!"
Since the real-world Ironclad is not turn-based, Qingque's health bar was instantly emptied, and a large "Failure" screen appeared in front of her.
"Hmm... I'll add another 'Poor Observation Formation' to your setup, that should be enough to heal yourself, right?"
"I will set the sea ablaze."
However, our Qingque was gloriously defeated after just two moves.
Even though the "Ten Immortal Boats" are incredibly powerful, they still require human control in reality.
"Then let's switch to the Abundant Black Deer..." This time, Qingque easily pierced through all three of the Black Deer's health bars in one go.
"How's Cocolia?"
After several attempts, the first person to make a move always won.
"The Fire Thief" was instantly killed.
"Swarovski." Instantly.
"Silver Branch." A passionate exchange.
"Yan Qing." His speed was incredibly fast and his cunning was unbelievable; he was instantly killed without a doubt. "I'm fighting Yan Qing? I'm just a clerk in the Taibu Department!"
"Spear of Divine Retribution." It appeared and disappeared in an instant.
The more Qingyuan fought, the more something felt wrong. Where had the immortals' tenacious vitality gone? How did it become a case of whoever struck first won?
"Ordinary Black Tide monsters." Still exchanging blows in a passionate exchange.
"Big Black Tower, is there something wrong with your simulated universe?"
"Huh? It's clearly you who's been torturing her with opponents of similar weight to yourself."
Qingyuan looked at her own "Level 81" and then at Qingque's "Level 26".
That makes it seem like we're bullying them.
So she adjusted her opponent's level to 60.
"I'll also buff you with 'Breeding Fate,' maxing out the blessing effect. How does it feel now?"
"I feel like my hand is cramping from all the drawing... When can we take a break?"
"You'll have to ask the Great Black Tower about that."
"So, have you figured out anything?"
"It's quite fun," Qingyuan answered truthfully.
"This is simply incredible," the Great Black Tower exclaimed. "Even if your future self gives power to your past self, it usually results in situations where it is difficult to control."
But you are only unfamiliar with the power, yet you have almost complete control over its use.
"But isn't she a bit weak? I feel like she can't even beat Jing Yuan right now, and all her power is just a one-time thing."
"How could I possibly win?!" Qingque cast a slightly resentful glance at him.
"This confirms my conjecture." The Great Black Tower waved his hand and brought up an image: countless rivers flowing into the ocean, "The power of the Azure Kite is given to the Azure Sparrow, just as the seawater flows back into the rivers."
That's why she can control herself so effortlessly. No matter how you look at it, Qingyuan, you seem like the future Qingque.
"No, no, no—" Qingyuan shook her head desperately, "The script shouldn't be like this!"
You should first be curious about me, then start researching, gradually understanding me, and finally revealing my identity as a time traveler.
Then, losing interest, he should have Estella assign me some easy job so I could just laze around and do nothing.
"What is all this nonsense? Do you think all geniuses are crazy? At least my brain is still relatively normal."
"Please forgive her," Qingque quickly apologized on Qingyuan's behalf, "She is indeed not quite right in the head."
"What did you say?" Qingyuan hugged Qingque tightly. "Believe it or not, I'll let you..."
Such a large diamond... Qingyuan slept peacefully as usual.
Looking at Qingyuan sleeping soundly on the floor, Qingque couldn't help but feel a little scared, yet also secretly pleased.
Qingyuan is asleep (?), does that mean the experiment is over?
"Is it finally time to rest?"
"There's still one test we haven't done."
"Huh? There's more?"
"Don't worry, it should be very easy for you."
……
After a day of simulated universe testing and an all-night written exam, the extraordinary endurance of the Xianzhou people was truly demonstrated.
"The answer is 42! Wasn't it supposed to be easy? I feel like my brain is about to explode!"
"I didn't expect there to be such a big gap between you and Qingyuan. With your level, it's not that you have no potential to become a genius at all... it's just that you're a genius among geniuses who are 'obscured by their own limited understanding'."
The first test paper Black Tower gave her was a problem she had recently solved in two minutes—because it took her "longer," it left a deeper impression. Seeing that Qingque had no clue, she switched to her childhood manuscript.
"From now on, I will personally develop your potential."
"Huh?" Qingque blinked. "Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you...?"
"No trouble at all. It seems you'll help me a lot in the future, so this is just returning the favor."
Qingque's vision went black, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
She thought that coming to the Black Tower Space Station would at most involve drawing blood and scanning her face, but she didn't expect to first engage in a passionate battle in a simulated universe, and then experience a hellish test.
"This is the outline of what you will be learning over the next two months. Take a look at it so you have a general idea."
Looking at the stacks of books that Da Heita had somehow brought out—enough to be used as a bed—Qingque swallowed hard.
"Can I not study...? I want to go back to the Temple of the Apostles."
"sure."
"Really?" Qingque asked casually, but she didn't expect there would actually be a turning point.
"You could have left after you finished the test."
"Great!"
"In your case, you've most likely suffered some kind of major shock."
I think by that point in the future, you should naturally awaken to your genius.
Qingque smiled and said, "No, the future has changed."
"I know that the future will be different the moment she returns. But the objective laws will not change."
Luo Fu revealed quite a bit about her—the root cause being the struggle between the fates of hunting and abundance, right?
"Then... if it's a destined battle, even without me, Luo Fu will definitely be able to survive, right?"
"Then what's the point of arguing? Or rather, do you think there's any inherent logic to the inevitable victory in the disaster you witnessed?"
"I have no idea."
"It's alright. When the time comes, you'll probably reach Qingyuan's level."
"I think... I should still study. If I can really become a genius early, maybe I can..."
---
Qingyuan's side is much more interesting.
She projected it and discovered that the Black Tower Space Station had set off in parallel with Luofu—she knew without even guessing what they were going to do.
Qingyuan: Black Tower Space Station and Luofu went to "elbow strike" Iron Tomb ahead of time. You guys are not going to work overtime, are you?
Silver Wolf: Compared to turning Onphalos into an eternal paradise, this amount of work is perfectly acceptable.
I was actually feeling sorry for you before, but you actually coveted my account!
Qingyuan: If I don't take action, they'll all be sealed off.
Silver Wolf: Then give it back to me.
Qingyuan: Okay, let me hug you.
Silver Wolf: Not to mention I have to work overtime later, do you think I can sneak into the simulated universe right under the nose of the Black Tower, hug you, and then get away unscathed?
Qingyuan: Yes, you can! Erio's divine power!
Silver Wolf: If I said that such a future would lead to the destruction of the world, would you believe me?
Qingyuan: Really?
Silver Wolf: It's fake, I'm just kidding. If you don't want to pay them back, fine, but you should treat them well.
Qingyuan: No, they are mine now, and I can do whatever I want with them.
Or—you sing me a song, and if I'm satisfied, I'll give you back your account, how about that?
[Attachment: List of h*nser Cover Songs]
Silver Wolf: [Attachment: Silver Wolf's cover version]
Qingyuan: You actually made Prometheus sing for you! That's too much of a drain on AI!
Silver Wolf: So, you really are a genius? You saw through it so quickly?
Qingyuan: Who can cover 76 songs in a second? But I'll give it to you anyway. If possible, don't change the password, let me log in and try it out too.
Silver Wolf excitedly went to check on the patient, only to discover...
Silver Wolf: I heard from Elio that you're bad at the game, but I didn't expect you to be this bad—100 games in a row?! Even the matchmaking system can't save you!
Qingyuan: Why does Eriol tell everyone everything? But I don't cheat. (Qingque. Proud Emoji)
Silver Wolf: Alright, after you've played, I'll crush the noobs... I'm not talking anymore, the script is about to start.
Seeing this, Qingyuan put away her phone and activated... she forgot what it was called again, let's just call it the Black Tower's Magic Mirror. She projected it onto Luofu.
Inside Su Chang's room, a mother and daughter were embracing, with the mother even having tears in her eyes.
Originally, Qingyuan had planned to play with Sushang and Gui Naifen, maybe even dress up as a ghost or something, but seeing the scene before her, she couldn't bear to disturb them.
"Su Chang, you actually took the initiative to study and research, and now you've even achieved some success! This is truly... like the sun rising in the west!"
Su Yi's voice was filled with disbelief and excitement!
It seems that's Li Sushang's mother, Suyi. I must say, Li Sushang inherited that trait; they really do look alike, especially...
Qingyuan looked down at her toes.
"Mother, I've been... I've been getting special attention lately."
"On one hand, I have to learn how to handle paperwork and government affairs, and on the other hand, I have to intensify my martial arts training." Su Chang's voice was a little embarrassed, but also carried a hint of pride after her hard work.
"Oh? Then tell me who that person is? Even though you've come to Luofu, there's still a chance that someone with ulterior motives might try to curry favor with you."
"It really was all on my own, to be precise, my future self. It seems that I was entrusted with an important task during the crisis with Luofu in the future, which was deduced from the Qiong Guan Formation."
"Child, why don't you go back to Yaoqing? Even you are being given such an important position, what's going on?"
"It seems like two generals died in succession."
"Um?"
"The calamity of Biancang City has reappeared within the Immortal Ship, and a swarm of insects has broken out."
"what?"
At the same time, they were surrounded by the antimatter legion led by the Great Lord of Annihilation, but in the end, Luo Fu survived.
"what!"
I understand why you were entrusted with such an important task, because at that time, Luofu really had no one else available!
"What! No way! Pack your things and go back to Yaoqing right now. We can't stay in Luofu for even a day longer!"
"Why? Didn't you say you wanted to train me before you let me join the Cloud Cavalry?"
"No, it's because Luofu isn't like Yaoqing, where people fight every day, that's why I found a way to transfer you there."
"Then why did you urge me to practice martial arts so diligently in the first place? Wouldn't it have been safer to let me take the civil service exam?"
"On one hand, it's to protect you, and on the other hand, it seems like you don't have the talent in this area."
Su Chang couldn't accept it for a moment; she thought her mother wanted her to be like her.
Then she shook her head and said firmly, "No, I'm not leaving."
"Alright, since you're so adamant, then I have no choice but to..."
I'll knock you out and then travel by starship overnight!
As they ran away, they bumped right into Qingyuan, who was outside the door.
"Suiyang?" Su Yi instantly became alert, her hand already on the hilt of her sword.
"It's a friendly and harmless projection! The real body is healing for some reason." Qingyuan's image quickly waved her hand, revealing a smile that was as harmless as possible. "I'm Sushang's friend, here to visit her."
"So it's Su Chang's friend. What a pity, she was too tired from practicing martial arts yesterday and hasn't gotten up yet."
"I'm about to take her back to Yaoqing to visit relatives, so I'm afraid we'll have to meet another day." Su Yi reacted quickly and said calmly.
"I've been listening since you started crying."
"Young friend, I think you can understand a mother, right?"
"My understanding is useless; only General Jingyuan's understanding is useful."
"Jing Yuan, General Shence, and General Luofu all value her highly?"
"She was personally trained by General Luo Fu."
"Her?!"
A moment later, inside the Shence Mansion, Jing Yuan was talking with Su Yi. In the end, Su Yi decided to leave Su Chang in Luofu.
The main point was that Jing Yuan demonstrated the Radiant Azure Spirit when Qing Yuan "held Bai Lu hostage" at the Dan Ding Division.
Indeed, if the Immortal Ship Alliance were to face any major calamity, Yao Qing would likely be the first to suffer.
At the same time, considering Su Yi's love for her daughter, Jing Yuan also showed her the image of her daughter's future, which was deduced by the Qiong Guan Formation.
Afterwards, she looked at her daughter and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
What kind of suffering could have turned her into that?
After Su Chang finished her business, Qing Yuan looked at herself in this state and a smile appeared on her lips.
After using the divination method, I arrived at Suiyuan and met Huo Huo, who was organizing talismans.
"Huo Huo, I don't want to die. Is there any way you can save me?"
A voice rang out, and then a blurry figure passed straight through the walls, screens, and tables, arriving in front of Huo Huo...
