My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

"Forget it, forget it, let's just forget about this."

Ji Yuan quickly waved his hand.

"Alright, I was just thinking of letting you relax after all that training you've had, right?" Hearing Ji Yuan's words, the virtual Ruan Mei slowly nodded and stood up from the bathtub, revealing her perfect curves to Ji Yuan.

After quickly drying her clothes, the virtual Ruan Mei wrapped a towel around herself and sat down on the chair next to Ji Yuan. Because of her height, her feet dangled and swayed gently.

"Want to have something to relax with?" Virtual Ruan Mei looked at Ji Yuan, then took out a cocktail glass and poured two glasses of mysterious liquid into it. Virtual Ruan Mei smiled as she watched him back away: "Don't worry, I don't drink alcohol. This is just nutrient solution."

"Thank you, teacher. Hmm, I wasn't too tired just now. I found those battles quite interesting." Ji Yuan took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The nutrient solution was very stimulating; at first, it felt like the coolness of mint amplified tenfold, and after a while, it became as hot as hot milk.

Feeling the sensation of coolness followed by heat, Ji Yuan then said to the virtual Ruan Mei, "Teacher, I was just going to get two star cores to conduct an experiment."

"Oh? What were the results of the experiment?" Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Virtual Ruan Mei no longer bothered to tempt Ji Yuan and quickly sat up straight to ask.

"I am not capable of activating the power of the star core at the moment."

Ji Yuan frankly recounted to Virtual Ruan Mei everything that had just happened, including using the Burning Wind as a self-destruct experiment on the training ground.

Upon hearing this, the virtual Ruan Mei couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

"How about we create a breeding envoy first, and then use its self-destruction to blast out the immortal matter? Hmm, and regarding the crisis you're facing, maybe we should ask for more materials and then directly control the envoy to self-destruct. That way..."

A dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.

Ji Yuan swallowed hard as he watched.

In battle, they would pull out a Breeding Token and have it self-destruct next to the enemy? Ji Yuan thought about it. If they did that, they would probably be even more hated by the Antimatter Legion or the Abundant Beasts.

Ji Yuan quickly waved his hand at the virtual Ruan Mei: "We don't have that many materials here. Besides, it's too dangerous to send the messenger to self-destruct. Now, I have another way."

"any solution?"

Ji Yuan said, "There is a star core within Xing's body. If I make contact with her, I might be able to find a solution to the star core problem. However, I don't know how to establish contact with her so that the system can make a judgment?"

Perhaps Xing's status is powerful enough, but if one cannot achieve something significant with her, the gains will be extremely limited.

"Or, why don't you just tell her you want to sleep with her?"

The virtual Ruan Mei showed a thoughtful expression and spoke to Ji Yuan.

"I'm sure Xing will hit me on the head with a baseball bat."

Ji Yuan answered immediately.

Xing's personality is more like that of an ordinary girl; if Ji Yuanzhen says anything harassing, she will definitely get angry.

"So, are you going to just drug her? Or are you interested in her body and want to have her undergo some experiments on the operating table, maybe even make a few incisions?"

Virtual Nguyen Mai then made two more suggestions.

Each punishment was more severe than the last.

Ji Yuan listened speechlessly and said, "I think if we do that, we'll have to prepare to fight the Nameless Ones in addition to the Company and the Antimatter Legion."

"If that's the case, then it's up to you. Use your charm as a boy to make her fall for you."

"This……"

While Ji Yuan was still hesitating, the virtual Ruan Mei had already approached him.

He gently unzipped the zipper, then said in a suggestive tone, "You have to believe you're very charming. Before you leave, I'll certainly reward you properly. Hopefully, next time, the environment here will be even more complete."

As she said this, she picked up the nutrient solution and poured it into her mouth.

This liquid,

But it can make people experience ten times the stimulation of mint before experiencing extreme heat.

……

After leaving the virtual space, Ji Yuan looked at Ruan Mei, who was currently conducting an experiment in a test tube, with a somewhat strange expression.

The memory of the person who looked exactly like her had given him a jolt, and Ji Yuan couldn't help but glance at Ruan Mei a few more times. Ruan Mei, seeing Ji Yuan awake, walked to his side and asked, "How are things? Do you have any ideas?"

"Hmm, a little bit, but not much. I need to do some research and think it over carefully. It should take another day or two, maybe three days, before I can figure it out."

Ji Yuan answered Ruan Mei.

Ruan Mei smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I will make efforts in other areas."

"Alright, things are settled here now. Let's go back." Jing Liu had been watching from the side, and seeing that Ji Yuan was alright, he immediately wanted to head back home.

Ruan Mei looked up at Jing Liu: "Perfect, I'll go back too."

Jingliu raised an eyebrow: "I thought you would stay here and do experiments day and night."

"Sometimes even I need to rest. Only by balancing work and rest can experiments be successful."

Jing Liu's eyes showed some dissatisfaction. She had felt quite good about being held and slept in Ji Yuan's arms all night last time. Now, she had waited here for most of the day in vain, and she was planning to go back to sleep tonight.

But with Ruan Mei present, she knew in her heart that trying to do anything to Ji Yuan without going through Ruan Mei would be extremely difficult. Similarly, Ruan Mei couldn't possibly do anything to Ji Yuan without her.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan felt inexplicably at ease.

Looks like I can finally get a good rest tonight.

……

Ji Yuan, Ruan Mei, and Jing Liu returned to Kripper Castle and had a good night's rest.

The next morning, Nguyen Mai had already left for her laboratory outside the city to conduct research. Ji Yuan walked towards the restaurant, pondering the tasks for the day.

Today's task is simple: find a way to obtain information about how to process the star core from Xing.

"Should I exploit a bug and tell Xing that I want to marry Tingyun as a surprise, and then have her, Tingyun's good friend, act as a stand-in to rehearse? That way, would I be able to complete the achievement of having a wedding with Xing?"

Thinking this to himself, Ji Yuan subconsciously shook his head.

In his heart, a wedding was still a solemn and sacred event. To treat it casually and perfunctorily would be disrespectful to both Tingyun and Xing.

and……

As he stood at the restaurant entrance, lost in thought, Ji Yuan saw Xing return from outside. On her back was a huge black bag. Upon closer inspection, Ji Yuan noticed it appeared to be filled with various kinds of trash.

Did they go out and rummage through trash cans on the street first thing in the morning?

"What kind of look is that?" Seeing Ji Yuan's gaze directed at her, Xing took two steps back warily: "This is trash I just picked up. I rummaged through the trash cans for a long time to get it. Don't touch it."

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes and said to Xing, "Why would I bother with trash? Besides, luckily your journey won't necessarily pass through the Immortal Ship Alliance. If you were picking up trash on the Immortal Ship Alliance, you'd definitely be chased by those early-rising old ladies."

In the Immortal Boat, even battle maniacs like Yao Qing have a hobby of rummaging through trash cans to sell cardboard boxes after retirement. The trash cans near Ji Yuan's house are practically monopolized by old ladies. If Xing were to go there to collect trash, he'd probably be seen as a major enemy disturbing their hobby.

"Is that so? That's really quite terrifying."

Xing thought about the possible scenarios and couldn't help but shudder.

She then put the trash bag aside and ran to the washroom to clean her hands.

Xing saw that Ji Yuan was still standing at the door thinking, so she immediately went over and tugged at his clothes, saying to him, "Let's go, you'll have the energy to think after you finish eating."

Many new people have moved into Cripper Castle, so the cooks have set up a buffet for convenience. Ji Yuan walked into the dining room; everyone else had either finished breakfast or taken it back to their rooms. At this moment, only Ting Yun and Liu Ying were eating at the table. When Ting Yun saw Ji Yuan and Xing walk in, her eyes lit up immediately.

Liu Ying looked at Ji Yuan with a happy expression, but her gaze swept over Xing, and her eyes showed some complexity and hesitation.

Ji Yuan noticed this.

A slight stirring in my heart.

However, he didn't show it on the surface, and instead had dinner with Xing, Tingyun, and Liuying.

Xing was still thinking about picking up trash, so she finished her meal quickly and left. Of course, she didn't forget to tell Ji Yuan as she left, "I know you're doing experiments. If you need anything, I'm ready to help you anytime."

"Yes, I will definitely ask you for help if needed."

Ji Yuan nodded.

Xing then left.

After he left, the system's voice appeared in his mind.

[You have breakfast with Star, the most legendary figure in the universe, who is the Galaxy Baseball Man, the nameless passenger on the Star Train, who has traveled through countless worlds, carried the Star Core, and ultimately delivered the fatal blow to the Destroyer Star God Nanook. The system rewards you with Star's baseball skills.]

This is yet another person who has slain a Star God.

I can gain a lot from her.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Also, is Xing's baseball skill really that bad? You get it just by having breakfast together.

Doesn't she always carry a baseball bat around?

So is she the type who can use hundreds of baseball bats a year but can't even use a single baseball?

Why are you spacing out?

Liu Ying's words interrupted Ji Yuan's thoughts. Ji Yuan then asked Liu Ying, "Liu Ying, have you met Xing before?"

"Yes, I have seen her before. It's just that she doesn't remember much of it now."

Liu Ying didn't try to hide her identity and nodded firmly.

"what happened?"

Tingyun heard Ji Yuan and Liu Ying discussing things about stars, and she felt a little worried.

"It's nothing. I'm just a little curious about Xing's background. I think I know the person who placed her on the space station."

"is it?"

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Ting Yun's face also showed an expression of interest.

Ji Yuan thought for a moment, and then waited until Tingyun and Liuying finished their food and left the restaurant before picking up the communication device and calling Silver Wolf.

The call was quickly connected, and Silver Wolf's almost roaring voice came through.

"You dare come looking for me? If you show up in front of me, I'll show you what I'm capable of."

Ji Yuan had no doubt that if she appeared in front of Silver Wolf at this moment, Silver Wolf would definitely censor her image with mosaic.

"Hey, it's just a thousand credits, why are you making such a fuss?"

"As for that."
