My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

"Hey, what if you suddenly appear and I accidentally cut my hand or get burned by hot oil while frying something?"

She breathed a sigh of relief after realizing it was her brother. Patting her chest, she complained to Ji Yuan.

After complaining, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked at Ji Yuan with a suspicious look.

"You weren't awake the whole time, were you?"

Good grief, he's been pretending to be asleep the whole time, is he trying to trick me?

Su Chang was tapped on the forehead, and Ji Yuan said to her speechlessly, "Does your brain even deserve it?"

Su Chang glared fiercely at Ji Yuan.

"It's all your fault, it's all because you always say I'm stupid. Now you've really made me stupid. Look at me, from childhood to adulthood, who has ever called me stupid?"

From childhood to adulthood, only Ji Yuan had ever called her stupid. Of course, Su Chang knew that Ji Yuan was behind all of this. When they were little, anyone else who called her stupid would be ridiculed by Ji Yuan, from their grades to their intelligence, until they cried. Even if the parents of the children came to complain, he would never give up.

Those parents were helpless against Ji Yuan. After all, Ji Yuan's grades were what they were, and it was their child who had mocked Su Chang first. As for resorting to unreasonable violence, Ji Yuan's adoptive mother was a high-ranking officer in the Cloud Cavalry, and his biological parents were martyrs who died fighting for the Yaoqing Immortal Ship. Who would dare to lay a hand on him?

Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, apart from Ji Yuan and Su Yi, no one dared to say that Su Chang was stupid.

"If you're really smart, can you improve your grades? With grades like these, do you still dare to have a relationship?"

"Who would date so young!"

Su Chang put her hands on her hips and looked at her older brother.

Ji Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, that's the right way to think. Before you try to improve your grades, you should think about whether you'll have a child who doesn't do well in school."

"It's alright, as long as the child's father gets good grades, that will balance things out."

"Whose grades can match yours?"

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, both he and Su Chang were stunned.

It seems that I am the only one with such high scores.

"Go, go, go out and wipe the table."

Ji Yuan kicked Su Chang out of the kitchen.

"oh oh."

Su Chang nodded and then walked out of the kitchen.

Ji Yuancai put on his apron with satisfaction, ready to cook a delicious meal.

As he cooked, he heard the system's voice in his ear.

[You cooked for a widow with a child, and the system rewards you with +1 to your cooking skills.]

Ji Yuan couldn't help but cover his forehead.

Changchang, what are you doing to me?!

Before, you were just a widow, and now you've brought your child along!

You're trying to turn the world upside down!

If it weren't for his meticulous approach to cooking, he would have poured several bags of salt into the dish to make it too salty to handle.

Ji Yuan quickly finished cooking the dishes and brought them to the table.

Just then, the sound of a mechanical bird flying in came from the doorway.

Ji Yuan remembered that he had received a new set of flying swords, and this was a gift to him.

He wiped his hands, walked to the door, and picked up the mechanical bird.

The mechanical bird carried a huge package. Ji Yuan took the package and took out the latest flying sword that the system had rewarded him with.

However, when Ji Yuan picked up the flying sword, he realized a problem.

This latest flying sword is also the latest flying sword in a hundred years.

"Goodness, if I bring it over tomorrow, it'll probably blow Yanqing's mind."

Ji Yuan put away his flying sword and muttered to himself.

"When the time comes, let him take a look at the Construction Department. Maybe he can even get a system reward."

He didn't intend to hide anything; when asked how he got the sword, he planned to say that he invented it himself.

In any case, compared to learning science from Ruan Mei and modifying the Dayan Qiong Guan Array, inventing a flying sword is really child's play.

A genius swordsman, a genius fortune teller, a genius scientist, and even a genius inventor wouldn't be too many titles.

……

Black Tower Space Station.

Nguyen Mai's ships arrived here today.

As soon as she stepped off the ship, Nguyen Mai saw the Black Tower doll appear in front of her.

"You've come. I've already informed General Jingyuan of what you told me back then. He's quite a strategist, and dealing with Huanlong shouldn't be too difficult for him if he's aware of the situation."

"Ah."

Nguyen Mai nodded slightly.

"What happens to the Immortal Ship is none of my business. I only want to protect Ji Yuan's safety. It's a pity that he still cares about his family and friends, otherwise I would have taken him away directly."

"It's a pity that the time was too short, otherwise I would definitely have been able to prepare machinery to protect Ji Yuan's personal safety."

Black Tower highly approved of Nguyen Mai's ideas.

These two people valued Ji Yuan highly, but they didn't care much about the others.

Halfway there, the Black Tower doll stopped moving.

Nguyen Mai knew that the Black Tower doll had reached the edge of her activity area. Then, another Black Tower doll came to meet her.

"Let's go."

The new Black Tower doll spoke to her.

After changing three or four Black Tower dolls, Ruan Mei finally arrived at the Black Tower's office.

During her walk, Nguyen Mai discovered something quite novel.

"Are the trash cans on your Black Tower space station cleaned every day? They look much smoother than the floor."

Upon hearing this, the Black Tower doll wore a speechless expression.

"This was done by the human body that carries the star core."

"It seems there's still a lot to study about that child."

Ruan Mei said something casually.

I entered Black Tower's office.

Because of her previous experience creating simulated universes, Nguyen Mai is very familiar with this.

At this moment, there are two other people in the office besides the Black Tower doll.

One was a gray-haired girl, and Ruan Mei noticed with a little attention that there was a star core in her body.

The other one is Tingyun. Upon seeing Tingyun, Ruan Mei knew just how closely Huanlong imitated her.

"Ms. Ruan Mei, what are you planning to do by looking at me like that?"

Tingyun noticed that Ruan Mei was staring at him and asked her a question.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about what to do next. How to settle you down properly," Ruan Mei said calmly.

That's so unbelievable. Why do I feel a hint of hostility in your expression?

Looking at Ruan Mei's expression, Tingyun thought to himself.

However, she still asked Ruan Mei hesitantly, "How is Ji Yuan doing now?"

Ji Yuan had told her a lot about his recent situation, but Tingyun was worried that Ji Yuan would only report good news and not bad news, so after seeing Ruan Mei, she couldn't help but want to ask her about it.

Ruan Mei made a thoughtful expression, thought for a while, and said to Tingyun, "I don't know Ji Yuan's current situation either, but I took some protective measures for him before I came. If everything goes smoothly, things will be much more interesting."

"Is that so?"

Although Tingyun sensed that Ruan Mei was implying something, she was still relieved.

Just then, she felt a tap on her shoulder. Tingyun turned around and saw that it was Xing patting her shoulder.

"Now you can rest assured, your boyfriend, who is the best in the world, will be fine."

"Wha, what?"

Tingyun blushed slightly at Xing's words.

"If that weren't the case, why do you keep calling out Ji Yuan's name every night before you go to sleep?" Xing continued, patting Ting Yun's shoulder.

During this period, the two of them lived in the same dormitory room, sharing a bunk bed.

Xing could hear everything Tingyun said in her sleep at night.

She originally intended to tease Tingyun, but after hearing Xing's teasing, Tingyun gently opened her fan and admitted, "Of course, my boyfriend is incredibly talented, so naturally I have to think about him more."

Tingyun looked at Xing, wanting to see her reaction after he admitted it. But seeing that Xing was still smiling, he instantly realized something was wrong.

Wait, did Xing wash her hands after rummaging through the trash can?

Tingyun immediately got goosebumps all over her body.

Seeing Tingyun's expression, Xing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Haha, you got me! I wouldn't actually go so far as to cheat my friend. I burn incense and clean myself every time I come into contact with or leave the trash can."

Tingyun: “…”

Ruan Mei looked at her thoughtfully, while adding a note to her mind.

The bearer of the star core has a mental state consistent with that of a girl aged fifteen to twenty, and shows signs of fanaticism towards a certain thing.

Hei Ta walked up to Ruan Mei and said, "Alright, now I'll take you to finish your business. Also, Ms. Himeko from the Starry Sky Train is still at the space station, so we can go and discuss some things."

"Ah."
