Bai Zhi's hands were like iron clamps; even with her considerable strength, she couldn't resist.
It should be noted that although she looks weak, as a member of the Genius Club, she is not as simple as she appears. Her physical enhancement is extremely powerful, yet even this could not shake Bai Zhi in the slightest.
Her instincts told her that although Bai Zhi looked very small, the heat emanating from her body seemed somewhat dangerous.
Chapter 486 Ruan Mei develops inexplicable feelings for Bai Zhi
"Phew... Miss Baizhi, your anger should have subsided by now."
Ruan Mei brushed her slightly messy hair aside, her whole body covered in sweat, while Bai Zhi lay in Ruan Mei's arms, moving lazily.
"I want to lie down a little longer, Ms. Ruan Mei. You asked for this yourself, didn't you?"
"........."
Ruan Mei silently glanced at the several teeth marks on her forearm, then looked at Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi's appearance just now really frightened her. She thought that her medicine had caused some terrible side effect, which caused Bai Zhi to go crazy.
Strictly speaking, Bai Zhi did go berserk. She grabbed her and bit her arm, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free. Bai Zhi's strength was simply astonishing.
In just a short while, she was drenched in sweat from the intense heat emanating from Bai Zhi, and even her clothes were torn in the heat.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been baked into a dried-up corpse by now at this temperature.
"Ok."
Ruan Mei wiped the sweat from her forehead with a sense of helplessness, experiencing for the first time what it meant to be upset and confused.
The high temperature, combined with the unprecedented close-range impact, caused her emotions to fluctuate greatly, a feeling she rarely experienced.
It seems that after seeing the ancient beast with countless eyes in the past, her emotions gradually became indifferent, leaving only her fervor for scientific research.
And now, Bai Zhi has just acted like a fire, burning away the shackles that had been binding her emotions.
Ruan Mei hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted Bai Zhi's head.
"Ouch...it's so hot."
When Ruan Mei touched Bai Zhi's dragon horn, she immediately withdrew her hand. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that her hand had some burn marks.
He had been holding Bai Zhi for so long, and she had only been irritable due to the high temperature. But now, when he touched the dragon horn, it actually burned marks on her enhanced body.
"Is this an organ that manifests emotions?"
Ruan Mei looked at Bai Zhi's jade-like dragon horns with some curiosity, and the biologist's fervent emotions resurfaced.
She has studied many organisms, including some biological materials left behind by prophets that she acquired in the market.
However, as is well known, there are different kinds of Vidyadharas. It is well known in the universe that the dragons who are Vidyadharas have very different appearances from ordinary Vidyadharas. Dragon horns and dragon tails are important characteristics of them.
Could it be that the Dragon Lord's power is hidden within these two organs?
As is widely known, many races that are born with power store it in special organs. For example, the Immortal Boat people have an organ called Danfu, which seems to be the source of longevity.
Ruan Mei suddenly felt a strong sense of curiosity and wanted to study Angelica dahurica.
"Just don't touch it randomly, it's said to stunt your growth."
Bai Zhi said somewhat lazily, feeling as if she had entered a strange state, as if her thoughts were drifting in the universe, pondering its origins and its future.
"This is a fallacy. Unless there are physical or genetic limitations, nutrition is the biggest factor that affects height."
Ruan Mei couldn't help but retort, saying that as someone who works with biology, she disliked such ridiculous remarks.
"It's just a kind of metaphysics~" Bai Zhi waved her hand, then buried her head in Ruan Mei's arms again.
Sure enough, Ruan Mei really did have a fragrance like plum blossoms about her, which was so captivating that people lingered there.
"Bai Zhi, can we talk about the experiment now?"
Ruan Mei said with slightly heavy breathing, "It's really hard to keep up with this little guy with such amazing heat rubbing against me in my arms."
"Of course."
Bai Zhi's muffled voice came from Ruan Mei's arms.
"Alright..." Ruan Mei took a deep breath, trying to stay awake and not let the high temperature affect her mental clarity.
"I have a technology that can create any kind of body I need, from humans to insects, it's all possible."
"Mmm, I'm listening," Bai Zhi said, while shifting restlessly.
Ruan Mei licked her slightly dry lips and continued, "But this technology has a fatal flaw, which is... it can be easily manufactured when creating low-level bodies."
"But for advanced bodies, there will be many difficulties, especially for those with extraordinary abilities."
"For unknown reasons, those powers will directly tear these bodies apart, causing them to self-destruct in a short period of time."
“I understand,” Bai Zhi said.
Even without Ruan Mei's reminder, any player who has completed the storyline knows that the Star Shattering King Insect Skarakabaz created by Ruan Mei only existed for less than a minute, because Ruan Mei had not yet mastered the technology to fully create the Breeding Order Envoy.
"Well... I've seen your combat videos. I need you to inject that immortal power of yours into the test subject's body."
Hearing this, Bai Zhi finally lifted her head from Ruan Mei's arms and asked an important question, "So, what exactly is the experimental subject?"
"If it's a very dangerous experimental subject, wouldn't my immortality threaten the safety of the entire space station?"
"I have a good relationship with Ms. Black Tower, and I can't let anything dangerous happen to the space station."
"what……"
Ruan Mei patted her face and said helplessly, "Bai Zhi, can you get out of my arms now? Your high temperature has made my body start to dehydrate severely."
"The fact that I was able to say so much already means that my physical enhancement level is high enough."
"But if I keep holding you like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to think rationally anymore."
"Good lie down."
Bai Zhi floated lightly out of Ruan Mei's arms.
After this period, she felt she had returned from that state of contemplating the meaning of the universe, and was filled with a refreshing feeling.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that Ruan Mei and she had a strange feeling about each other.
"Finally, they're gone..."
As the little one, radiating immense warmth, left her arms, Ruan Mei breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, she looked at the bite marks on her arm, which had not yet begun to heal and still felt a slightly burning sensation.
Mixed with this burning sensation, she also felt a strange sense of loss.
For some reason, I suddenly started to miss the feeling of holding Bai Zhi just now.
"Wait, what's wrong with me??"
Ruan Mei shook her head violently; as a biologist, she keenly sensed that something was amiss.
Chapter 487 I think this Black Tower still retains its charm.
"What...what are you doing??"
The door was opened, and Black Tower paused for a moment, glancing at the scene with a somewhat strange expression.
Her clothes were burned and torn to shreds, and Nguyen Mai was sitting on the ground with a flushed face.
A somewhat unbelievable thought popped into her mind.
Could it be that this colleague, who usually seems so aloof, has suddenly fallen for someone?
Hei Ta was stunned for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence: "The biotechnology you are researching... may be different from what I thought."
“However, Bai Zhi is a member of the Wisdom Clan, so you most likely have no future.”
Black Tower said very seriously, "And lifespan is also a problem, even though your hometown was also blessed with abundance."
Ruan Mei opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then felt that there was nothing to explain.
Even if it's as Black Tower misunderstands, so what?
It's just a biological instinct; there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Scientists who have reached this level, how could they possibly have such an extraordinary reaction to something like this?
The behavior of living organisms is nothing more than the result of hormone catalysis.
Moreover, so what if the Vidyadharas cannot reproduce? Isn't that an excellent topic?
It would be really interesting to break such a powerful curse, wouldn't it?
As she felt a slight burning sensation in her arm, Ruan Mei's thoughts immediately jumped to this point.
"No, Ruan Mei, what strange things are you thinking about?"
Immediately, Ruan Mei wanted to put this idea out of her mind.
I don't really intend to do anything with Bai Zhi, so why would I have such a strange thought?
But those thoughts kept popping up again and again.
"If we want to explore the origin of life, create perfect creations, and immortal offspring, then a very perfect object must be found, and we need to have close contact with it in order to study it better, right?"
This idea kept echoing in her mind.
"Black Tower, what brings you here?"
Ruan Mei struggled to her feet, covered the burned parts of her clothes with her hands, and asked with a slightly dazed look in her eyes.
"Oh, it's nothing. We're just about to purchase new materials, so I was just asking if you need anything. I'll have someone order it for you while I'm at it."
Both of them knew that the Black Tower Space Station, as a giant research institution, would purchase large quantities of supplies every so often.
"But you wouldn't really..."
Hei Ta turned his head, looked at the teeth marks on Ruan Mei's arm, then at Bai Zhi, full of curiosity.
"It looks like you guys are having a pretty wild time, but that's good. You're usually too aloof. Getting a little more active might just give you more inspiration."
"You don't need to worry about this. As for purchasing new materials, I'll give you a list later."
Ruan Mei pursed her lips, offering no explanation, and said calmly.
"Tsk, looks like I've interrupted your wild operation. Oh well, I'll be going now."
Black Tower made a move to leave, but then suddenly turned around and said, "Hey, little guy, I support you. If you manage to conquer this iceberg, I'll give you a rare item."
"I'm quite curious to see what it's like when this guy falls head over heels in love. It must be very interesting."
Hei Ta looked at Ruan Mei and revealed a wicked smile.
Although Ruan Mei is considered one of the more normal ones in the Genius Club, her emotions are still too indifferent, making her seem more like a robot than the android Screw Gum.
She really wanted to see what Ruan Mei was like when she was controlled by her emotions, and whether she was still as indifferent as before.
"This is just a biological reaction caused by hormone secretion. Even if it were true, I could easily suppress it."
Ruan Mei closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and said.
"That's hard to say~"
Black Tower smiled. There were quite a few cadets who fell in love on the space station. Most of them knew that eliminating the influence of hormones in the human body would allow them to think calmly and no longer be swayed by emotions.
But very few people choose this path after experiencing emotional distress or other circumstances.
Ruan Mei shook her head slightly, not wanting to argue with Hei Ta; she was confident in her professional competence.
Moreover, if she were the kind of person who is easily swayed by romantic feelings, she wouldn't have achieved what she has today.
"Can I pursue Lord Black Tower at the same time?"
Bai Zhi was standing by the door at some point. For some reason, she felt that Ruan Mei's strange medicine had activated some strange attribute in her, and she always felt restless and wanted to possess beautiful people.
"Me?" Black Tower pointed to himself in surprise.
"That's right, I think Lady Black Tower still retains her charm~"
"Huh? It's not that easy to win me over. I'm not only a member of the Genius Club, but also an Intellectual Envoy."
"If you want to win me over, wait until you have the strength of an Envoy before you say that."
Black Tower, hands on his hips, said with considerable pride.
