After her warning and outburst, Ruan Mei and Screw Gum urgently limited the depth of the simulated universe so that there would be no more situations and dangers that would disrupt people's brain waves.
"It almost happened just now. If you introduce the fate of Greedy, even if Party A doesn't clean up, it's possible that the Amber King will personally come and smash your space station to pieces."
"…So dangerous?"
After hearing what Kong said, it seemed that Heita still didn't fully understand the seriousness of the situation.
"Then the experiments you and I do every day won't attract the attention of Greedy and Protective, right?"
"Under normal circumstances, if Ruan Mei didn't deliberately preserve it, the chaotic rules would quickly dissipate and self-decompose... and would not hurt anyone. Let's not talk about this. I have a headache now."
Sora touched his forehead and asked, "Have you finished registering, Natasha?"
"If everything is green-lit, what resistance can we expect? The Knowledge Society will send someone to discuss the location of the laboratory with her and the level of sponsorship. Of course, it's mainly to give me face by investing in the simulated universe, and taking care of her is just a side effect."
Kurita had been deliberately emphasizing how important he was in this matter, and that clumsy way of showing off his strengths made Kong relax further, and he laughed out loud.
"What happened suddenly?"
"Nothing, I just think you're pretty cute when you're protecting your food."
"…What a disgusting statement."
Heita took a step back in disgust: "Don't use the words you use to coax a little girl to perfunctorily deal with me."
"If you do this again, I won't praise you anymore."
……
"Do you have any questions? Please speak up. We don't mind answering your questions."
"No, I didn't. The terms of the society are very clear, and I have no objection to the treatment. But isn't it a bit hasty to talk about profit sharing before the drug has entered the final stage?"
"Of course not. If two geniuses are involved in a project and their interests are not determined early on, and the division of profits is discussed later, there will always be disputes between the club and the society... In fact, I would call it the club's oppression of the society."
The man wearing a laurel wreath in front of him said self-deprecatingly.
Having not yet realized the dangers of the academic world - or rather, the academic world in Beloberg has not yet produced so many twists and turns. Natasha still feels that Heita and Kong are protecting her by putting their names on her project... Although this is indeed protection in a sense, it may not be the case for other people.
The moment she carefully read the contract and signed it, Nata felt that the whole world had changed.
It’s not that the world has really changed, but that her perspective on things has changed, it’s sublimation, or something else.
The thousands of pairs of eyes that opened among the distant stars were like red pills, with a disturbing glow in their eyes, yet they seemed to be full of love and healing.
She bathed in this loving glance, which was an affirmation of her, of Wach's unfinished work, of his dream that billions of people would no longer freeze to death in the snow, and a blessing for the ultimate concept of altruism.
Natasha felt a change in her body.
She became younger, or perhaps her cells became more active. Although there was no exaggerated outward expression, she truly realized that the path of abundance was open to her, and it was the Medicine Master himself who welcomed her into that world.
Just as the people of Yiting predicted... With the merits inherited from her brother and her simple kindness, she obtained treasures that countless people on the journey of destiny would never get in their entire lives.
In her eyes, the depths of the red irises seemed to have gold and green rising slightly, like short branches sprouting.
Abundance did not grant her the terrible destructive power and intuitive power of other orders, but just as a small sapling will eventually grow into a towering tree - this is the unique aesthetics and persistence of abundance, and it is also a symbol of Natasha's ascension.
"...the fertile gaze...has actually arrived." The man who was in charge of direct contact between the Knowledge Society and the company was a little astonished when he saw Natasha's invisible changes.
"Is this the proposition of genius? Can I get a glimpse of the Star God at will?"
He stood up and paced back and forth in front of Natasha. His half-crazy and half-calm appearance made the students alert and they protected Natasha on both sides.
I had thought this man was weird before - he always wore a plaster head and spoke in a very cocky way. Now he seemed to be lost in a debate about self-awareness, oblivious to the people around him.
"I'm sorry, Professor, I don't understand what you mean?"
Nata gained the power but had no idea what other benefits this power had besides making her feel more comfortable. She also didn't know the pharmacist well enough, so she was even more worried about the mental state of the guy who brought the contract to her.
"That was a glimpse from the Star God - something that countless people envy. Sorry, I lost my composure. If the Genius Club can guide the Star God's gaze, even if the conditions are harsh, this is truly an unprecedented great progress..."
Amid Topa's sigh and Nata's strange gaze, his face reappeared. He seemed to realize that behaving so illogically in front of people who were truly seeking knowledge was really damaging to the image of the society and himself.
Then he realized that a handsome man with golden braids swaying behind him had walked into the conference room and was helping Nata check the contract behind him.
“It was not initiated by the club. This attempt originated from Yi Ting’s suggestion.”
Sora, who was walking on foot, noticed the gaze of the man who had stopped pacing and explained naturally.
"...Yiting?" The blue-haired professor was stunned.
“Why them?”
"Gathering information is just as important as inference, Professor Ratio."
The golden-haired man said calmly: "The former sometimes accounts for more - I am Kong, nice to meet you."
Flying puppets and hooded handsome men...
The will of gold and the wings of silver, the "traveler" of the genius club.
He did not take the credit for this miracle, but instead pushed it to Yi Ting - he was calm but also had the arrogance of a genius.
The man immediately adjusted his posture and voice:
"Nice to meet you, Dr. Kong. I'm Vinitas Latio, the contact person sent by the Institute of Knowledge this time."
Topa had given Sora a heads-up before. This member of the society, nicknamed "Doctor Truth", was notoriously bad-tempered. Of course, his abilities were also outstanding. It was also said that he was the one who was most dissatisfied with the Genius Club's refusal to share knowledge, and he was quite critical of the arrogance of many geniuses. He even provoked the geniuses in the past.
Such a true believer in the theory of universal education seemed not that difficult to deal with for Sora:
"You are a genius whom I respect very much. In my mind, you are as great as Lil, and I have seen that this is indeed the case."
There was a look on Latio Toshiro's face that said "I've finally waited for you", which confused Sora.
"?"
It’s only been two months since I logged into the Talent Club and the company database? How come I already have my own fans in the society?
Sora and Paimon looked at each other, and the latter spread his hands.
"It seems you are as famous as you were in Teyvat."
"Doctor Kong is willing to share your knowledge and use the potion to heal the 'blind man'. Compared to me, a scholar whose mission is to cure stupidity, you have made a greater contribution to the world's education. Naturally, you have become famous."
The professor spoke highly of Sora. It should be said that after comparing Sora with other geniuses, he thought that he was the most approachable genius today. He even said that he should join the Society of Knowledge instead of the Genius Club - but the society is a crown that mortals wear for themselves, and a genius certified by a Star God is more valuable.
What’s interesting is that even though he was clearly praising Sora, his expression didn’t seem attentive, and instead seemed to be examining him.
It's like a scholar looking at the tablet of the law and wondering whether its authority can stand up to scrutiny.
A person who never gives up, a person who will not bow to academic authority and talent.
"What's the connection? We will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future."
When dealing with such people, Kong feels that all he needs to do is demonstrate his or her abilities. There is no need to protect the other person too much. Instead, the relationship is quite easy to handle.
"I have seen Associate Professor Natasha's experimental plan. Her requirements are easy to meet, even a little too simple. Do you plan to find more benefits for her?"
"No need for that. Apart from the opportunity we introduced, Ms. Natasha has obtained all the resources through her own efforts. I will not interfere too much."
"Oh, academic integrity - it's been a long time. You saved me a lot of trouble."
Then Latio looked at Topa, as if to say - Director, the information you provided is not reliable? What do you mean Natasha has a special relationship with the doctor? He didn't even hint that he would take care of her more at the institute.
Isn’t this just ordinary insight into people?
Ordinary people don’t have the opportunity to be favored by abundance.
Topa rolled his eyes speechlessly, seeming to be a little disgusted with this self-righteous man.
"You can try what happens if you don't take care of her, Mr. Ratio."
Topa sent him a message on his phone -
"I believe this doctor who teaches without discrimination is not that kind of person, Miss Director."
"...I'm curious about where you got the confidence to make a conclusion about someone you've never met. After all, I worked under him for a few days."
"Of course it's because he was open and shared knowledge. I know the matter of that server very well. Someone who only cares about making money or fame would never do that."
274. Dim sum? Where can I find dim sum?
It is natural that the Polyscience Society would not invest too much effort in an "unknown" researcher from a remote asteroid, but now, even if the recommendation letters from Heita and Kong are discarded, Latio will personally arrange the admission procedures for Nata and officially register her as a scholar protected by the company.
A Fertility Envoy - the last time a Fertility Envoy was recorded to have appeared in the universe, she had a fight with Luofu and caused it to suffer heavy losses. Such a being must be dealt with carefully before she "sprouts".
Doctor Zhenli is very arrogant, but he knows how to restrain himself in front of certain people.
"I look forward to having you at the institute, Professor Natasha."
Although he wanted to discuss some issues with Kong Duo, he did not neglect Nata. He guided her to register for the society forum and told her how to find her host if she went to Pierpoint.
"Am I... not a student?" Nata was still a little confused.
"You have more than ten years of clinical medical experience, specific inventions, and an independent laboratory. These are enough for you to be selected as a professor. Haha, your achievements are much better than those idiots in the academy who rely on their seniority to bully others."
Latio wasn't just saying nice things to please Sora and her, these were all facts.
"If there is anything on Yalilo VI that requires the help of the society, please feel free to ask. The professor can apply for additional manpower."
"…About foreign aid."
Nata glanced at Sora calmly, then politely rejected him: "In order to prevent us from being too involved in the mediation, I can only appreciate the good intentions of the society. Thank you."
"Hu is actually involved in this?"
Latio thought that the person who went to Yalilo was just the Arbitrator—
If it was the Star God himself who came out... he suddenly wanted to go and watch, maybe he could increase his knowledge.
"Well, we didn't continue to seek the company's assistance because we were targeted by each other. If more people come, we will have another big enemy out of thin air." Kong nodded:
"That guy is trying to find balance in a place that shouldn't be balanced... How about learning how to study mutualism? Is there any evidence? Can we let our people look up relevant materials?"
"It's a pity that a mediocre person can never understand Star God more deeply than a genius."
Latio did not flatter himself at all: "At least for now. We only know that we have interfered in several wars that have affected the key direction of the galaxy. As for whether His low-key behavior has also been taken into account by the Master of Knowledge..."
The professor looked at Sora with a look that seemed to say: You definitely know better than I do.
However, the corner of Kong's mouth twitched - as a so-called genius whose identity was not as strong as that of the train crew, he knew nothing about Master Boshi, so how could he know whether Master Boshi could predict each other's behavior through calculations before?
That constipated expression confused Latio for a moment:
"Wait... were you just asking me a question?"
