Starry Sky: My Life Star God, starting reward Ruan Mei

Ruan Mei did not rush to answer, but took a sip of tea and added a point to her summary of Bai Yan: "and unparalleled or overestimating ambition."

Then, Ruan Mei calmly replied, "So, as the [Life] Star God, have you ever created a Star God?"

"No, but I can try in a while, and find a starting point from the [Destruction] Star God."

After finishing, Bai Yan raised another topic that seemed to jump sharply from the previous one: "You often bake pastries, but do you know how to make chocolate?"

While pondering the connection between the two topics, Nguyen Mai answered, "The main ingredient is cocoa powder, and then you add other ingredients according to your personal preference..."

"No, no, no, that's too much trouble."

Bai Yan interrupted her and suggested another approach.

"There's an even simpler way to make chocolate. Melt a piece of chocolate, add some of your favorite ingredients, pour it into a mold, let it cool for a while, and a new piece of chocolate is born."

Nguyen Mai found the connection between chocolate and the Star God: "You are here to [destroy] the Star God..."

Bai Yan smiled slightly: "Cocoa powder is hard to find, but chocolate is easy to find, isn't it?"

He picked up a pastry from the table and broke off a small piece: "The difference between Nanook and chocolate is that chocolate doesn't move, but He does. But even if we can't get the whole chocolate, we can still try breaking off a piece."

Nguyen Mai's lips curled into a subtle smile, whether in praise or sarcasm, it was hard to tell: "My dear pastry chef, be careful not to bite your tongue with chocolate. Your assistant is looking forward to the finished product."

Bai Yan put the pastry in her hand into her mouth and savored it: "I'd rather your plum blossom cake touch my taste buds than chocolate."

Ruan Mei put away her smile, picked up a piece of plum blossom cake, and gently reminded, "Plum blossom cake is undoubtedly delicious, but be careful not to bite your tongue."

Chapter 13 The calm before the storm

Another twenty-four system hours have passed.

Bai Yan tutored Ruan Mei on some deeper life science knowledge, summarized the reasons for some of her previous failed experiments, and then asked her to stay in the office to digest the information alone.

He took all of Ruan Mei's freshly made plum blossom cakes with him and leisurely ran to the main control module of the space station.

Two passing clerks were having a heated discussion:

“Nanook definitely lost that battle! Otherwise, the civilization created by the [Life] Star God would no longer exist.”

"I was just saying we don't know the whole story, so it's not appropriate to comment. Why are you in such a hurry? Are you a follower of the [Life] Star God?"

"Ahem... Okay, I admit I did lack scholarly demeanor just now."

"If they fought again, maybe we could observe it."

"You really love making a scene, don't you? Where did you come from, you masked fool?"

……

After walking through the central passage, Bai Yan arrived in front of Estádio, the acting stationmaster of the Black Tower Space Station.

Estella's pink short hair was more vibrant than March 7's, and her fair skin looked almost identical at first glance, but that was only from a conventional perspective.

Bai Yanzheng clearly distinguishes the differences from a microscopic perspective, but the cost is that from a microscopic perspective, humans will see densely packed cells and other microorganisms.

That angle is enough to give ordinary people goosebumps and make those with trypophobia faint on the spot.

He looked Estella up and down, staring at her neck. This girl had been taking baths quite frequently lately; she must have been disinfected.

After drawing a conclusion, Bai Yan switched back to the perspective of an ordinary human.

The station manager, who was focused on his work, vaguely sensed someone watching him from behind and turned around.

"Mr. Bai Yan? You... what can I do for you?"

Bai Yan had reminded her that she didn't need to use honorifics with him, but Aistar would still occasionally make a mistake.

After all, the person in front of her is currently the only one on the space station besides Ms. Ruan Mei who can have an equal conversation with Ms. Black Tower.

Moreover, she estimated that even Ms. Nguyen Mai wouldn't joke around too much when chatting with Ms. Black Tower.

But she had seen Bai Yan making all sorts of strange jokes while chatting with the Black Tower doll several times throughout the year.

When faced with Estella's question, Bai Yan suddenly said something that Estella didn't quite understand: "You are just as cute as the little ones on your body."

"Ok?"

Estella looked down at herself: "Is there something on me?"

Bai Yan suddenly added, "Oh, okay, you can pretend it didn't happen."

After a couple of sentences, a hint of fear appeared on her lovely face, making her even more pleasing to the eye.

"Mr. Bai Yan, don't scare me."

Estelle felt a slight pang of fear, but quickly recovered: "What kind of weird joke are you making now?"

Bai Yan still gave an ambiguous answer: "You can take this as a joke."

“Mr. Bai Yan, this joke won’t be funny if we keep making it.”

If an ordinary clerk said this, Estella might think the other person was just making a fuss, but Bai Yan is a [Life] Envoy, so he might actually be able to see some strange things that normal people can't perceive.

Seeing that the joke had gone a bit too far, Bai Yan explained, "The human body is, in a sense, a processing plant for all kinds of microorganisms, producing hundreds of billions to billions of microorganisms every year, but under normal circumstances, people don't need to pay attention to it."

He then gave an apologetic smile: "I just mentioned it casually. Sorry, I startled you."

"So that's what you meant."

Aesta breathed a sigh of relief and steered the conversation to the main topic: "Mr. Bai Yan, you didn't come here just to joke with me, did you?"

Aside from her peculiar sense of humor, most people on the space station, including her, had a very good impression of Bai Yan.

Estella knew one more thing than the other staff members. Despite being a high-ranking figure at the level of a Star God Envoy, she didn't exude arrogance at all. Instead, she was incredibly approachable and friendly.

Bai Yan glanced at the distant space and casually replied, "I just wanted some chocolate, so I came to your internal purchasing department to buy some desserts."

"I see. Oh, by the way."

Estella suddenly remembered something: "Lady Black Tower said that if she encountered you, she would ask if you knew the details of the battle between the [Life] Star God and the [Destruction] Star God."

"Of course I know. Tell her to exchange her childhood materials for them, preferably photos of her throwing tantrums on the floor as a little kid. Just like last time, I won't circulate them."

"Huh?" Estelle was slightly taken aback. "Is it really appropriate to say that?"

Bai Yan smiled and said, "What's inappropriate about it? She knows it was my idea and won't blame you."

"Ok."

Estelle agreed. From the very beginning, she had been secretly thinking about how to convey Bai Yan's meaning to Lady Black Tower in a complete yet polite manner.

At the same time, Estella also recalled the rumors circulating on the space station: Bai Yan was very friendly and had never done anything to harm anyone, but in fact, something terrifying was quietly happening.

After a year of interaction, many staff members discovered that Bai Yan had unknowingly become someone who understood them better than they understood themselves.

Estella had heard about this rumor and concluded that they were simply observed by Bai Yan's keen observation of their preferences during their interactions.

They themselves did not feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, they were taken care of during conversations or other interactions, which made them feel that Bai Yan was extremely gentlemanly.

I have a feeling he's starting to make a move on Lady Black Tower.

If this continues, won't he really become someone who understands Lady Black Tower better than Lady Black Tower herself?

Chapter 14 Do you still want to sit on my lap?

A moment later, Bai Yan returned to his office from the main control module.

Sitting at his desk, Ruan Mei was still intently organizing the experimental data he had adjusted on the data screen.

After the reasons for some experimental failures were pointed out, they understood as if they had suddenly realized something.

Even when Bai Yan pointed out the reasons for most of the failed experiments, she maintained a critical attitude and could not directly trust them.

As Bai Yan entered the room, Ruan Mei turned her head slightly, her jewel-like green eyes meeting his gaze.

He could easily discern complex emotions in that plain yet refined face.

The indifferent tone was mixed with a hint of joy, a hint of resentment, and a touch of distrust.

A hint of resentment... Hmm, I'll save her a piece of plum blossom cake next time.

Bai Yan took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to her: "Want some?"

"no thank you."

Nguyen Mai turned away from him and continued to focus on the data screen in front of her.

Bai Yan sat not far away, eating chocolate, quietly observing the life before him.

Once Nanuk's situation is resolved, Nguyen Mai's status as a Star God will at least no longer be questioned.

The remaining trust can be cultivated gradually, just like with the staff on the space station and with Está, only it will be more difficult.

Instead of directly altering physiological structure, it uses the most primitive methods to regulate and perceive changes in life.

This will be a significant chapter in the lives of Nguyen Mai and himself.

To outsiders, this stroke might seem insignificant on his boundless canvas, but to Bai Yan, every stroke on it is equally precious.

Nguyen Mai noticed his undisguised gaze and said softly, "Am I good-looking, like a newborn insect?"

Bai Yan replied calmly, "The newly born life does indeed possess a unique beauty."

Time passes slowly.

There was a moment of calm before the storm.

As the impending downpour approached, Bai Yan felt a slight sense of anticipation, for he was the one who stirred up the waves of the universe and condensed rain clouds.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Somewhere in the universe, where the Star Core Hunters hide.

Here, there is another group of people who, having watched the "weather forecast," are also experiencing the calm before the storm.

Two figures, one tall and one short, with silver-gray hair, sat on the sofa, scrolling through their phone screens.

Although they were described as one big and one small, they were both about the same size compared to the purple-haired beauty standing behind the sofa.

Kafka watched Silvermoon playing on her phone and found it increasingly amusing.
