Otherworld Girl Development Guide

Correspondingly, to thank the Versailles boss for taking the time to teach his two cats, the Versailles boss's research and development funds are approximately ∞.

As Zhou Mingrui led the two kittens toward the Dongfeng Mengshi, his phone suddenly rang. He was taken aback when he saw the old man on the caller ID. Wasn't he busy researching electromagnetic railguns for ships? Why did he have time to call him?

"Hello? What's wrong?"

"Mingrui, an old friend of yours wants to see you. Show her around Shangqiu. This time, the expenses will be on the company's dime. Don't neglect her. She's waiting for you on Shangqiu's commercial street. Go now."

*Beep*... The old man hung up the phone after saying that. Zhou Mingrui stared at the phone, completely bewildered. A friend? Who was that?

"Let's go, Brother Qiang, let's go to the shopping street..." Zhou Mingrui glanced at the two kittens sitting in the back seat and said with a smile, "...I'll buy you some new clothes."

Upon hearing this, the two kittens' eyes immediately lit up. Opportunities to go shopping together with Zhou Mingrui like this are rare indeed.

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Mingrui led the two kittens toward the location the old man had indicated, and then saw a familiar purple figure—Princess Corliss of the Kingdom of Bell.

Behind her, the female guard Yuri stood faithfully behind her, and around them sat some "idlers" in plain clothes, separating them from ordinary people.

The people around them were already used to the visiting friends from the kingdom and consciously refrained from approaching to disturb them.

"Miss Corliss? When did you arrive?!"

Zhou Mingrui looked at Princess Corliss with some surprise. She had matured a lot compared to a year ago. He nodded to Youli, who responded politely.

“They came here from Rice on the Shangqiu line just yesterday. Because Grandma doesn’t like to be high-profile, she didn’t tell too many people.” Corliss brushed a strand of purple hair behind her ear and said gracefully. Then, seeing the kittens Zhou Mingrui was holding, she asked curiously, “Who are they?”

stare!

Just as Zhou Mingrui was about to say something, he felt two kittens' eyes staring intently at his back, their gazes conveying a clear message: Who is she?!

(=￣ω￣=)！ ?(=￣ω￣=)！

"Tio, Bell suddenly feels down."

"Lingdang, Tio also feels bad."

The two kittens unusually reached a consensus and became “hostile” towards Corliss.

Chapter 7 The Shameful Field

The moment Bell and Theo saw Corliss, they felt an indescribable sense of crisis—it was as if their hard-won warmth was about to be stolen by another cat!

"Chirp!"

"Chili, it's been a long time." Hearing the familiar voice, Zhou Mingrui quickly greeted Chili.

"They are the ones I raised..."

Just as Zhou Mingrui was about to say that the two kittens were his adopted daughters, he felt the two kittens behind him were about to pounce on him.

"Ahem... I am their guardian."

Guardians? Corliss looked at the two little girls who were clearly of mainland Chinese descent with some confusion. As for why, she noticed that all the people of Shangqiu had black hair and brown eyes, making them very recognizable.

"Hello, my name is Corliss," Corliss said, stepping forward with a graceful and confident demeanor.

stare!

The two kittens stared at Corliss with their amber eyes, their eyes filled with a feeling of resistance.

After darting around with her eyes wide open, Lingdang suddenly broke into a sweet smile, grabbed Zhou Mingrui's arm, and said, "Hello, big sister, my name is Zhou Lingdang!"

Theo blinked, then immediately grabbed Zhou Mingrui's other arm and said, "My name is Zhou Theo, nice to meet you (in a flat tone)."

"Uh?"

Zhou Mingrui felt like he had a kitten hanging from each of his hands. When did these two kittens become so clingy?

“You two have such a good relationship,” Corliss said, tilting her head slightly.

"Ahem... Miss Corliss, I'm here today to be your tour guide." Zhou Mingrui sensed something strange in the air and quickly changed the subject: "Where would you like to go?"

“Um…” Corliss looked a little embarrassed as she reached for the AR glasses that she couldn’t put back together after taking them apart: “…The Doctor wanted to study them, but…I’m so sorry to have broken the gift you gave me.”

A gift? Bell and Theo exchanged a glance and hugged Zhou Mingrui's arm slightly tighter.

Zhou Mingrui was not surprised that AR glasses would be disassembled; curiosity is always the driving force behind human progress.

Indians are no exception (my little brother, you don't know this), peaceful Indians will build houses in places they're curious about (vaguely), and then, without me even noticing, they'll have built their houses beyond the designated area~

"I'm sorry, this can't be repaired, but we can buy a new one..." Seeing that Corliss seemed a little distressed, she couldn't help but comfort her, "...These things are consumer goods, so it's normal for them to break down. There just happened to be a new AR glasses model recently released, so I'll take you on a tour of Shangqiu's commercial street."

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Zhou Mingrui."

After reaching a consensus, Zhou Mingrui began his tour, first taking Corliss to the Huawei store in the mall.

Soon, the barrier was erected to disperse the idlers, and some wandering idlers separated them from the tourists without the tourists noticing.

Corliss was immediately drawn to the store’s wide array of electronic products, including some that used the latest materials and looked small and exquisite.

Miniature laser projectors, AR augmented glasses, miniature holographic projectors, new laptops made with superconducting materials and graphene... Corliss's eyes widened in astonishment.

However, technically speaking, these things are not as sophisticated as the cat ear headbands hanging on the hands.

Aren't you two going to choose?

Tio and Bell pursed their lips, clearly tempted, but after glancing at Corliss, they hesitated.

"Go ahead, I'm going to take care of something over there," Zhou Mingrui said with a smile. After saying that, the two kittens let go of Zhou Mingrui's arms and walked towards the latest wearable equipment.

After seeing the two little girls go to choose something, Zhou Mingrui walked to the shelf behind Youli, casually reaching out to browse the items while saying softly, "Miss Youli, can I ask you for a favor?"

Yuri looked at Zhou Mingrui with some surprise, and asked with a chivalrous air, "Mr. Zhou Mingrui, is there anything I can do for you?"

Zhou Mingrui glanced at the two kittens, and seeing that they weren't paying much attention to him, he said softly, "It's like this... they are children we rescued from the cult, and I became their guardian."

“You are such a gentleman, and they are so lucky,” Yuri said earnestly, knowing all too well how helpless homeless children are.

"Judging from the location of the destroyed branch of the cult, they are likely citizens of the kingdom. I will give you their information. I wonder if you could help find their parents?"

Although the two kittens never spoke, Zhou Mingrui could sense their inner pain. If possible, Zhou Mingrui still wanted them to meet their biological parents, since they were likely forcibly taken away from their parents by the cult.

So, in order to prevent the two kittens from thinking they have been abandoned and to help them resolve their inner conflicts, it would be better for them to meet with their biological parents and explain things clearly, but only once.

Zhou Mingrui had this idea all along, and he took this opportunity to say it.

"However, since it is so old, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to do it."

"Please rest assured, I will do my utmost." Yuri bowed slightly.

Thank you very much.

Zhou Mingrui had gone to great lengths for his two kittens and owed Youli a favor.

After speaking, Zhou Mingrui's gaze fell on a pair of newly released AR glasses from Huawei. He picked up the beautifully packaged glasses and walked towards the two kittens.

Before long, Corliss had chosen the electronic wearable product she wanted.

Zhou Mingrui keenly noticed the difference between this visit and the last one: after Queen Estée's visit, Shangqiu's technological restrictions on the kingdom had clearly decreased by one level.

It seems that a very important consensus has been reached, and the cooperation between the two sides will be even closer in the future. The Kingdom of Bell is based on orbal energy, while Shangqiu is based on electricity. The two are completely different in terms of technology, but the Kingdom of Bell can still learn from each other in terms of technology.

Conversely, Shangqiu should also learn from the Bell Kingdom's orbal technology. After all, for the sake of future development on Mingrui Star, orbal technology must eventually be integrated into Shangqiu's own technology tree.

Take the airship for example. Many experts are puzzled: how does this huge lump of iron, which has no aerodynamic shape, no wings to provide lift, and no propellers to provide lift, fly?

After paying the bill, Zhou Mingrui led Corliss towards a clothing store on the commercial street. Corliss was soon attracted by a beautiful modern-style Hanfu.

Zhou Mingrui was not surprised by this, after all, besides sightseeing, the most important thing about tourism is to experience the local culture.

Chapter 8: A Study of "Truth"

Shangqiu Biochemical Laboratory.

Biosafety protection level: 4

This laboratory is located in a relatively remote area of ​​Shangqiu. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach within a three-kilometer radius. The perimeter is surrounded by barbed wire and warning signs: "Police dogs are on site. Unauthorized entry will be at your own risk."

Unlike ordinary laboratories, in order to prevent uncontrollable incidents, a small N2 bomb was buried beneath the Level 4 biochemical research institute (Request an N2 bomb for cleanup). It was large enough to wipe out the entire biochemical laboratory.

Institute of Biochemistry, Core Laboratory No. 22.

Researchers wearing white protective suits are using instruments to analyze red powder in a glass dish, determining its internal composition.

The drugs found in the pocket of the never-wearing underwear after the berserker was eliminated – is that considered "reporting the facts"?

After interrogating the cult members who had been blown into "one-legged beasts," the rabbit learned the name of this thing: Truth!

The specific method of synthesis is unknown, and only the higher-ups of the Order know it. One of them, Lord Caesar, has already become "light".

This drug, which can cause almost "genetic mutations," is worth studying (serious face). Of course, we are still being very conservative. Currently, it is limited to research and a small number of live experiments on mice to observe the process and mechanism of its drug effect.

After the experiment, the mice were thrown directly into the incinerator and burned at a high temperature of 3000°C or higher for 30-60 minutes, which was enough to completely inactivate them.

In laboratory number 33, next to number 22, three researchers raised their hands, preparing to conduct live experiments.

"Data recording... Biological experiment number 034... Subject code name 'Jerry'..."

The assistant nodded and made a gesture towards the camera monitoring the laboratory. With the sound of the airtight valve locking, the laboratory was immediately sealed off.

Three laboratory security personnel kept a close watch on everything happening inside the laboratory.

From this moment on, the lives of the test personnel are no longer in their own hands. If an uncontrollable accident occurs, "emergency" measures will be activated, and the entire laboratory will be burned at high temperatures for more than 15 minutes.

After the temperature drops, various sterilization and inactivation processes are carried out, plus a month of complete isolation, repeated more than three times. Only after a comprehensive evaluation will Laboratory No. 33 be put back into use.

Let's begin!

"This is what the lead rabbit, who is in charge of the experiment, said," the two assistant rabbits nodded solemnly.

Although biochemical research poses a great potential threat, it is necessary research. There are some things that will never be understood if we only rely on theory and not conduct research. Someone has to do it!

The assistant placed a white mouse, which was fixed to a steel plate, on the experimental table. After securing the metal restraints with a pressure plate, the assistant used tweezers to pick up a small piece of red substance and put it into the white mouse's mouth.

"Record!"

The white mouse, fixed to the iron plate, swelled up rapidly at a visible speed, emitting a hissing sound that didn't sound like a mouse, and looked as if it had transformed into the devilish muscle mouse—Jerry's older cousin.

The researchers then inserted a syringe into "Big Cousin's" body to extract the mutated blood and take a sample.

These samples will then be compared with blood samples taken before the transformation to understand the role of this red "truth" in the genetic mutation process.

The stimulated mouse became even more ferocious, and the restraints binding it gradually tightened. It continued to dutifully fulfill its mission without any dramatic escape from the restraints.

In the end, even if the mouse becomes Jerry's older cousin, it is still a mouse, only stronger. It cannot transcend the laws of physics and use brute force to break free of the specially made restraints.
