Chapter 48 The Meeting of Three Geniuses

At this moment, in a bustling teahouse on the Luofu Immortal Boat.

On March 7th, Xing and Qingque, the three of them, were tired from walking around and were sitting around a table drinking tea and resting.

March 7th pointed at the scene in the live stream on her phone and scolded Xing beside her: "Did you see that?! See if you dare to eat anything from strangers again! Especially things from pretty women!"

Xing, holding her teacup, retorted dismissively, "What do you know, March! Didn't you hear Ms. Ruan Mei say she likes me? She did this to protect me! It's a... unique kind of trust!"

March 7th, rubbing his forehead, had a "this kid's hopeless" look on his face: "You're hopeless! You've been sold out and you're still helping them count the money!"

Qingque, standing to the side, took a sip of tea and sighed leisurely, "That's why I say the thinking of a genius really can't be judged by common sense."

"It's better to be an ordinary office worker like me. I can slack off in my spare time, play some games, and live a carefree life."

Xing gulped down a large mouthful of tea, then suddenly remembered something: "By the way, where's Uncle Yang? Where did he go?"

March 7 recalled: "He seemed to say... he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure on the street? He said he wanted to chase after him to confirm, and then he walked away."

Xing was somewhat surprised: "Are there any acquaintances of Uncle Yang on the Luofu Immortal Ship?"

March 7th shrugged: "I don't find it surprising at all. Think about Uncle Yang's complicated expression back in Yalilo-VI."

"Who knows, we might run into even more of Uncle Yang's old friends in the future."

Qingque nodded in agreement: "Perhaps they are tourists traveling to the Immortal Ship? There are many tourists coming to the Immortal Ship every year."

March 7th and Xing thought about it and felt that it made sense.

……

The game's storyline continues to unfold.

Nguyen Mai told Star that some of the "little creations" she was cultivating in the laboratory on the space station had accidentally escaped.

"I don't want this matter to alarm the Black Tower or Estádio and get them involved... So, I hope you can help me get these 'little lives' back."

Although Xing's mouth was somewhat out of control, her mind was still working. She asked in confusion, "Why does it have to be me? And why can't we tell Black Tower and the others?"

Nguyen Mai's answer was rational and direct: "This matter is essentially none of their business. Moreover, if too many people get involved, it's easy to create unnecessary variables and troubles."

"I don't like trouble."

The comments section was flooded with people calling themselves "Kings of Knowledge":

"Silly Xingbao, what else could it be? Because you ate those snacks with something added on!"

"This passage shows that Nguyen Mai is an absolute rationalist, with everything geared towards efficiency and results. Emotions? They don't exist for her."

"Feelings? Feelings are the cruelest thing in this world."

……

Following the clues provided by Ruan Mei, Xing indeed found a creation called "Cheese Lava" in a corner of the space station.

Its appearance... looks like a delicate shumai that can move and talk, topped with corn kernels and diced carrots.

Nguyen Mai's Creation - Molten Cheese: (Makes a slurping, satisfied sound)

A clerk suddenly appeared out of nowhere, speaking in a high-pitched voice, and solemnly acted as a translator: "Cheese Lava Heart said: 'Ms. Ruan Mei has finally realized the existence and value of this genius! Hmph!'"

Xing stared at the scene before her, falling silent: "..."

The comments section was filled with laughter:

"Hahaha, help! Are all of Ms. Nguyen Mai's creations sentient desserts?"

"What's that on its head... mung beans, corn kernels, and diced carrots? Wow, quite a generous amount!"

"I'm dying of laughter at this translator! Why is he so dramatic!"

"The greatest creation (referring to the food)! It makes me so hungry! I'm ordering shumai for lunch!"

……

After Xing followed Ruan Mei's instructions to collect these wandering "snack creations," brought them to the containment section, and sent them away through a peculiar toilet device (?), Ruan Mei sent another message.

This time, she invited Xing to accompany her to a small meeting of the genius club members.

Upon arriving at the designated meeting room, the Black Tower doll and Screw Gum were already in place.

Screw Gum's mechanical voice was gentle and polite: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Star."

"Logic: This reunion occurred earlier than I initially estimated."

The Black Tower doll was as direct as ever: "Although you weren't originally invited to this meeting—you're still welcome, Xing. Remember this moment well; it's a historic scene after all."

"How long has it been since three geniuses shared a room? When will they get together again?"

The comments section started filled with memes and fact-checking:

"This scene! I totally get it from Light Cone's 'The Geniuses's Rest'!"

"No, no, it should be 'A Brief Gathering of Three Geniuses' by Guangzhui."

"At this moment, the Radiant Memory Garden in the distance is recording: What precious and beautiful memories!"

"Memory Star God Fu Li: (Silently raising a camera.jpg)"

……

Without much small talk, Black Tower cut straight to the point: "I think it's time to find a new partner for the simulated universe project."

Screwgoom asked in confusion: "Question: Introduce a fifth collaborator to the simulated universe?"

Black Tower nodded, his tone carrying the passion for truth unique to geniuses: "You all know why we've gathered here."

"Besides answers, what else could possibly bring the members of the Genius Club together?"

"No one can resist the temptation to explore the mysteries of the Star God, not even someone like Zandal (the Genius Club #1)."

"I believe that someone will eventually respond to us."

Nguyen Mai softly raised a possibility: "What if...the person who comes is Polka Kakamu?"

"That's perfect!"

The Black Tower doll even floated upwards excitedly, raising her voice as if shouting into the vast universe: "Lord of Silence—are you listening? I am Black Tower #83, and I want to see you."

"I believe we'll definitely have many...interesting topics in common!"

Unfortunately, the meeting room was completely silent, with no response whatsoever.

Screw Gum rationally analyzed, "Polka Kakamu is unlikely to respond to this invitation."

"She has been out of contact for a long time."

"Based on existing data, the probability analysis shows that #64 'The Original Doctor' is relatively more likely to appear."

The comments section started a chain reaction and divergent thinking again:

"Today, we gather here..." (The rest of the sentence is automatically appended)

"...it's all for our gathering today!"

"XX is awesome! (Please use your imagination here)"

"It seems that Ruan Mei has quite a problem with that 'Silent Lord,' as she specifically mentioned her."

"Original Doctor... just from that name, you can tell he's a ruthless person who conducts hardcore life experiments."

"By the Great Storm God, even the Monkey King Evil Ninja cannot escape the law of birth and death!"

"Hey, upstairs, is your 'synesthetic beacon' malfunctioning?"
