My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

[Black Tower: No, that won't happen. I'm even more eager to see how many breakthroughs you can make in your research on imaginary numbers after you've mastered the field.]

[Ruan Mei: Yes, it would be even better if we could combine the theories of imaginary numbers with those of life sciences. A being capable of stealing into the tree of imaginary numbers—that idea seems pretty good.]

[Black Tower: Your idea sounds dangerous to me. However, it seems like a pretty good one.]

Ji Yuan and Luo Sigu Mu exchanged a glance.

[Black Tower: Okay, if there's nothing else, go ahead and read Chadwick's memory bubble. By the way, do you need any technical assistance with reading the memory bubble?]

[Screw Gum: That's not necessary for now. We have a Memory Master from the Flowing Light Memory Court on our side.]

[Black Tower: The Rememberer of the Flowing Light Memory Courtyard? What's going on here?]

Then Screw Gum told Black Tower and Nguyen Mai about their situation.

[Black Tower: Good heavens, even the Memoir Master of the Flowing Light Memory Court can't read your memories, Ji Yuan? The secrets you hold only fuel my desire to study you more.]

Ji Yuan: ...

At this point, Nguyen Mai raised another question.

[Ruan Mei: Ji Yuan, do you mean that the Memory Maker called Black Swan is interested in you?]

[Ji Yuan: To some extent, that is indeed the case.]

[Ruan Mei: In that case, what would happen if you mated with her? What kind of creature would be born from the offspring of a human from the Celestial Ship and a body composed of memory matter?]

[Ji Yuan: Teacher, please don't say that.]

As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily swept over the black swan.

The black swan stood with her hands behind her back, making her beautiful figure even more striking. She hummed an unknown lullaby, which, though unintelligible, was very pleasant to listen to.

[Nguyen Mai: Okay, I'll hold off for now. I'll do it when I get to Pinocchio in a couple of days.]

Ji Yuan: ...

Screws patted him on the shoulder reassuringly.

"Alright, now that we've informed my teacher and Miss Black Tower, let's focus our attention on absorbing the knowledge from this memory bubble."

Ji Yuan grabbed the memory bubble and began to absorb the memories within it.

now,

In the borderlands of dreams, Chadwick gazed at the distant sky, feeling his own existence fading away.

"Hopefully, one day we will be able to master imaginary numbers."

His thoughts gradually faded away.

The entire tree of imaginary numbers gradually appeared before my eyes.

Although this was merely a structure he imagined, and not necessarily a real tree of imaginary numbers, his eyes were still filled with immense excitement upon seeing it. Standing beside the railing, he unleashed a speed completely unlike his aged body, flipping over the railing and leaping down.

Silver Wolf and Star hadn't left yet, and seeing this, Star instinctively tried to pull Chadwick back. But before she could reach him, he was already in mid-air.

However, he did not fall; instead, he gradually disappeared in mid-air.

Xing knew he had truly disappeared, and stood on the edge of the railing, looking somewhat dazed.

……

In reality, Chadwick was in his room, reminiscing about the past.

In an instant, Ji Yuan memorized all of Chadwick's memories. From the first time he stumbled upon science to the knowledge of the imaginary number field he had acquired in his short few decades of life.

The cold-bloodedness of accepting company funding while his mind was filled only with research, and the regret and confusion that followed when he saw the imaginary number collapse pulse device being launched.

All of these things were imprinted on his brain in an instant.

Fortunately, Ji Yuan had obtained the sorting and classification technique from the system to help Han Ya resolve this sudden surge of memories; otherwise, he would have been bewildered and troubled for a long time.

Ji Yuan quickly organized Chadwick's memories.

His understanding of imaginary numbers, the process of extracting and studying imaginary numbers, all the reports on the study of imaginary numbers as energy, his conception of the entire tree of imaginary numbers, and his conjecture on how to enter the tree of imaginary numbers.

This surprised Ji Yuan greatly.

Entering the tree of imaginary numbers, I must say, Mr. Chadwick, you really dare to dream big!

He stored the knowledge that belonged exclusively to the realm of imaginary numbers deep in his brain, and in the end, all that remained in the memory bubble was Chadwick's emotions.

I'm entrusting everything to you!

—I know I will continue my research in the field of imaginary numbers.

Ji Yuan silently said to Chadwick in his heart.

Seemingly upon hearing Ji Yuan's apocryphal words, Chadwick's final emotion suddenly turned to joy. And then, in this joy, he vanished completely.

Ji Yuan then opened his eyes.

Screw Gumu asked Ji Yuan, "How is it?"

“I have mastered all of Mr. Chadwick’s memories.” Ji Yuan nodded affirmatively.

Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Black Swan looked somewhat surprised. To be able to so easily grasp others' memories without being affected herself... to some extent, she truly possessed a talent for becoming a memory user.

However, considering Ji Yuan's personality, Black Swan knew that this was impossible.

Ji Yuan could not possibly be the narrator of the story; he was destined to be the protagonist. It was absolutely impossible for him to be the one who remembers.

Scientists are often a little lacking in emotion, even Screw Gum is no exception. Seeing that things were over here, he said to Ji Yuan, "Now that things are over here, I'll be leaving soon. I'm also somewhat interested in Ruan Mei's idea; I'd like to go and see if there's any room for cooperation."

What does your teacher think?

Upon hearing what Screw Gum said, Ji Yuan couldn't help but look at the Black Swan.

Teacher Ruan Mei said he wanted to mate with her...

Seeing Ji Yuan looking at her, the Black Swan smiled faintly, her deep eyes seeming to want to draw out Ji Yuan's soul and study it.

No, Mr. Screws Gumm definitely didn't mean that.

He was thinking about the combination of imaginary numbers and life sciences. If mechanics were added, what kind of research would be produced?

Ji Yuan was unsure, but a hint of anticipation lingered in his heart.

Screw Gumu and Ji Yuan bid each other farewell.

And the black swan must also prepare to leave.

This surprised Ji Yuan.

If you're interested in me, why did you just leave like that?

Black Swan also saw through Ji Yuan's thoughts. She shrugged and said with some helplessness, "Although I really wanted to spend more time with you to investigate you, my existence relies on memories. I cannot read your memories, so I have no choice but to leave."

Upon hearing her words, Ji Yuan nodded in understanding.

At the same time, he lamented in his heart that his teacher's idea was doomed to fail.

No, it doesn't necessarily mean it can't succeed.

If it were her teacher's idea, and the Black Swan couldn't form a coherent image based on her own memories, she would definitely say that all three of them were together.

The teacher is absolutely capable of doing it.

Forget it, let's not think about it for now.

Watching Screw Gum and Black Swan leave, Ji Yuan quickly returned to her room.

Let's go back to the golden age and take another look.

Back at the door of his room, Ji Yuan was about to take out his room card to swipe and enter, but at that moment he realized that his door was not locked at all.

What's going on? Did I forget to lock the door when I left?

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

After thinking about it, I realized my memory couldn't possibly be that bad.

and so……

With these thoughts in mind, he took out his weapon, became alert, and pushed open the door.

If there were enemies inside, Ji Yuan believed he could spot them and fight them immediately.

The door was pushed open.

Ji Yuan rushed in and instantly saw everything inside the room.

then,

He was completely dumbfounded.

There were indeed other people in the room.

But that person wasn't lying in ambush to ambush him.

Instead, that person directly immersed himself in the dream pool.

Looking at the sweet sleeping face on that pretty face amidst the disheveled purple hair, it was clear that she had entered a dream world.

Ji Yuan also knew this person.

The Void Commander Huang Quan disguised himself as a sea patrol knight.

"What's happening here?"

Ji Yuan felt very puzzled.

Why did Huang Quan not enter the dream in his own room, but instead went to his room and forcibly entered it, even immersing himself in the dream pool?

Once her consciousness enters the dream pool, she can hardly pay attention to her physical body in reality.

“This situation is very dangerous.” Ji Yuan moved closer to Huang Quan. Since the Dream Pool was occupied, he could not enter this room and could only watch from the side.

Looking at her beautiful sleeping face, Ji Yuan commented:

"To be honest, in your situation, any adult cartoonist could publish a doujinshi here."

Fortunately, while his moral standards weren't high, they weren't so low as to do anything lewd. He found a chair and sat down next to Huang Quan, watching her.

"This can be considered as being a guard for the Void Commander; it should give me some sense of accomplishment."

Ji Yuan thought to himself.
