My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

“I’m really happy that you thought of me when you were thinking. However, I’ve noticed that you seem to have been a bit lax lately.”

She said to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this.

However, he sensed something was wrong and quickly looked into the yard.

Didn't he set up a defense system? Why isn't there any reaction at all?

Seeing Ji Yuan's expression, Ruan Mei smiled and said, "It's very easy for me to get a few creatures that can make the defense system malfunction."

Chapter 103 Ruan Mei's Embrace, Illusory Fury [First Update]

The mass-produced items on the Immortal Ship could not possibly defend against Nguyen Mai, a member of the Genius Club.

Ji Yuan had no choice in this situation.

This was the most defensive thing he could find. As for a true master of defense, Ji Yuan had never encountered one, so there was nowhere for him to get one for free.

Just as Ji Yuan was considering this, Ruan Mei continued, "However, it's never wrong to be cautious. If you satisfy me, then I can give you two creatures specifically for guarding the gate."

"Let's forget about that. If needed, I'll just cultivate it myself."

Although she was very tempted, Ji Yuan thought about it and decided to give up.

It wasn't that he lacked confidence in the offensive capabilities of the creatures Nguyen Mai had cultivated. On the contrary, he was overly confident. However, this was, after all, a residential area; it was enough to keep the people under control, rather than actually tearing them to pieces.

In Ruan Mei's eyes, ordinary people were no different from lab rats. Even some powerful but thoughtless envoys were merely relatively excellent and combat-capable test subjects to her. Only a few people, such as Ji Yuan, Hei Ta, and Luo Sigu Mu, were people she could communicate with.

"Well, if you want to do it, then you can do it."

Nguyen Mai did not seem to have any reservations about this.

She looked around, then focused her gaze on the creature that Ji Yuan had just created.

She picked up a small white creature and began to observe it.

Energy emanated from her fingertips and gently swept over the creature. Ji Yuan knew that Ruan Mei had already dissected the small creature thoroughly.

After reading it, she frowned slightly, appearing somewhat dissatisfied.

Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask Ruan Mei, "Teacher Ruan Mei, did I do something wrong?"

"Your idea is fine, but I feel it's not perfect enough. I need to check it more carefully to pinpoint exactly what's wrong. Simply put, I feel I could have done a better job for you in the meantime. Have you been doing other things during this time?"

A smile played on Ruan Mei's lips, but her probing gaze seemed to see right through Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.

At this moment, I wish I could just be like my younger sister who can't even read a book properly.

"I, I'm not busy with other things."

Ji Yuan said to Ruan Mei guiltily.

"Oh? What have you been doing these past few days?"

"I came back to modify the Great Evolution Qiong Guan Formation, then learned a few self-defense techniques, and then went to the Chiming Clan to handle some matters."

Ji Yuan explained everything to Ruan Mei in detail.

Hearing Ji Yuan say this, Ruan Mei rubbed his temples with her fingers and then asked him, "Did you do all this with a plan? Did everything go according to your plan?"

"Yes, I'm preparing."

Ji Yuan nodded seriously in response.

Nguyen Mai rested her chin on her hands as she looked at him, a satisfied smile on her lips.

"If all of this goes according to plan, that would be for the best. I'll formally begin teaching you after things are settled here."

Ruan Mei said to Ji Yuan.

"Come on, let's look at this creature while I teach you some knowledge."

“Um…” Upon hearing Ruan Mei’s words, Ji Yuan said to her, “Teacher Ruan Mei, I’ve been thinking about this and I have an idea for a modification. Why don’t I demonstrate it to you first, and you can see the effect before telling me about it?”

Ji Yuan said to Ruan Mei.

"OK, all right."

Nguyen Mai set the small white creatures aside.

Ji Yuan planned to release these creatures that didn't quite fit his ideas later.

He didn't possess the scientist's mindset of Ruan Mei; he still had contingency plans for the creatures he created. These creatures, specifically designed to combat the Suiyang, would normally absorb energy and microorganisms floating in the air as food, so their survival wouldn't be a concern after being released. They wouldn't cause any trouble on the celestial ship, and if one or two Suiyang occasionally escaped, they could be captured.

Ji Yuan planned to report to General Jing Yuan after releasing the animals, or simply introduce them to work at the Ten Kings Division.

Hmm, what kind of creature is born with a public office?

With that thought in mind, Ji Yuan began his new round of biological creation.

With various test tubes of reagents in his hand, he began bio-manufacturing in front of Nguyen Mai.

Nguyen Mai watched quietly from the side.

Having such an elegant and mature woman sitting across from you, looking at you with great interest, is a feeling that can really get your hormones pumping.

Fortunately, Ji Yuan had spent a long time with the virtual Ruan Mei in the teaching space, so he was able to resist Ruan Mei's gaze. His hand movements were firm and did not deform in the slightest despite Ruan Mei's stare.

Ruan Mei nodded slightly as she observed Ji Yuan's performance.

She knew that Ji Yuan, as a teenager, had strong desires for the opposite sex, but as long as he could control himself and not delay things, that would be fine.

Putting aside this praise, Ruan Mei continued to watch the experiment Ji Yuan was conducting.

Ji Yuan's technique was exactly the same as hers, exquisite and fluid without any awkwardness. According to Ji Yuan's stated schedule, he shouldn't have had much time to practice. Yet, he could perform so perfectly without practice time. Ruan Mei's satisfaction with Ji Yuan continued to rise.

No, that's not right, it's not exactly the same as my method.

At this moment, Ruan Mei keenly noticed that Ji Yuan's hand movements were completely different from when she was conducting experiments. When fusing biological materials, his separating force was about 0.3% greater than hers. This caused the materials to break down more, making it easier for impurities to be mixed in during the fusion process.

Just when Ruan Mei thought it was a mistake by Ji Yuan, his next move immediately dispelled that notion. His next fusion attempt was completely different from hers. Upon closer inspection, the fragmented biological information was much more obedient to Ji Yuan's commands; the information was merging without constraints, and what she had previously struggled to break apart was much easier for Ji Yuan.

It saves a lot of time, but the required skills are even more challenging for a person.

Can I do it myself?

Nguyen Mai thought about it and felt that she could do the same.

It's just that I hadn't figured it out before, but Ji Yuan's 'show of skill' made it clear to me.

Ruan Mei's smile widened, and her eyes showed even greater anticipation for Ji Yuan.

After a while, through Ji Yuan's experiments, a new organism specializing in the study of the sun was born.

Upon seeing the small creature, before Ji Yuan could react, Ruan Mei grabbed it and examined it closely.

As she examined the design, she compared it in her mind with what she had envisioned. Through this comparison, she discovered that Ji Yuan's design was, in some aspects, a significant improvement over her own.

You could say it's an advanced version of myself doing the design.

This made her even happier.

There was not a shred of doubt.

She herself is a genius, and therefore has a deeper understanding of genius. The ability to do things that ordinary people cannot comprehend—that is the true threshold for genius.

The more talented someone is, the more she anticipates their success.

After Ji Yuan finished doing all this, he asked Ruan Mei, "Teacher Ruan Mei, what do you think of these?"

After observing carefully for a while, Ruan Mei commented to Ji Yuan, "It's perfect. Even I can't find any fault with it."

Ji Yuan smiled happily.

He remembered his idea of ​​taking on more teaching hours, so he said to Ruan Mei, "Um, Professor Ruan Mei, could you teach me some courses? I still have many questions about life sciences that I haven't figured out, and my experience is insufficient. So, could you teach me?"

“Okay.” Ruan Mei answered without hesitation.

She stood up, her calves, which had been exposed when she sat down, were now covered again by the hem of her cheongsam. She walked to Ji Yuan's side, holding a test tube, and took out some of her own experimental documents to explain to Ji Yuan.

Of course, she didn't give the kind of detailed explanations typical of teachers. Instead, she would tell you the basics and then skip over the rest, leaving Ji Yuan to conduct those cutting-edge researches on his own.

It's similar to a math teacher teaching you [1 + 1 = 2] and then asking you to solve the Riemann Hypothesis. Of course, in Nguyen May's view, Ji Yuan is capable of doing this.

Ruan Mei told Ji Yuan the story for a long time, and it was around dawn when Ji Yuan's stomach made a 'gurgling' sound.

Would you like some of my homemade snacks?

Ruan Mei asked Ji Yuan.

"Okay. But let's eat a normal meal first. I've been really sleep-deprived lately, and I need to get my mind in order."

Nguyen Mai nodded, indicating she had few objections.

Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had agreed.

So he went to the kitchen and made breakfast for him and Nguyen Mai.

He glanced at his phone, where he saw a message from Su Chang.

[Su Chang: Brother, the Cloud Cavalry will be patrolling and on standby for the next few days, so I probably won't be able to go home for the next few days.]

Ji Yuan put down his phone and brought out breakfast for him and Ruan Mei.

Ruan Mei accepted the bowl and began to eat gracefully. Her movements were gentle and elegant; she blew on the piping hot lean meat porridge twice before putting it in her mouth. She swallowed it in small sips, looking at Ji Yuan with admiration. Then, she lowered her head to pick up some pastries, showing Ji Yuan her exquisite profile.

That gentle feeling seemed to melt your heart.

No one would have guessed that beneath this gentle exterior lay a mad scientist.

While eating breakfast, Ji Yuan waited for the system's settlement notification in his mind.

[You have received instruction from Ms. Nguyen Mai; as a reward, you are given a set of biological experiment materials treasured by Ms. Nguyen Mai.]

[You have shared breakfast with Ms. Nguyen Mai, and as a reward, you will receive a nutritious breakfast recipe developed by Ms. Nguyen Mai. This recipe is beneficial for nourishing yin and yang, promoting growth and development, relieving fatigue, and enhancing cognitive function.]
