The account for daily life seems to have become somewhat stagnant. When Bai Luan was preparing to board the train, he made a brief appearance in person and then did some abstract work with Xing He Jing.
Hehe... Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Who knows, maybe we can even collaborate with Gui Naifen on the Xianzhou Island.
Soon, the cooldown period for the Anywhere Door ended, and Bai Luan went to the Great Black Tower to report back.
The Great Black Tower received Bai Luan's report and, as usual, conducted a brief inspection.
no problem.
She nodded.
"Then I'll head back to the Black Tower Space Station."
"Wait a minute, there's something else I need to tell you."
"What's up?"
"A little guy will be reporting to the space station soon. You can arrange his name as Estád."
"Aista?"
A knowing glint flashed in Bai Luan's eyes.
"Then you can save yourself from listening to those long and boring family reports from the company from now on."
"oh?"
The black tower's gaze swept across Bai Luan's face like a probe.
"Is this the 'interesting thing' you mentioned before?"
"That's right."
Bai Luan's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of certainty.
"Give me some time, and you will see her true value."
"It's rare for you to take the initiative to pledge your commitment to me."
The Great Black Tower seemed to have piqued a little interest.
"Perfect timing. I'll be going to the space station soon, so I'll stop by and check on your work."
"You're coming to the space station?"
Bai Luan was slightly surprised.
"A new project?"
"Remember when I went to see that machine head last time?"
"I remember it vividly."
"I wasn't satisfied with that meeting. At that time, I had a plan in mind, and I'm planning to implement it soon."
"Simulated universe?"
"Yes, it's about simulating the universe. There aren't many people on the project team right now, so why don't you join in?"
This is really putting me in a difficult position.
The other members are all members of the Genius Club. Would it be wrong for me to isolate all of you?
"I don't think it'll work."
"What? You think I can't get you to come?"
Bai Luan waved his hand and said:
"No, no, I just feel I'm not qualified enough."
"Not qualified?"
Daheita glanced at Bai Luan and pondered for a moment.
"Let's talk about this later..."
"Then I'll be going now."
The Great Black Tower watched Bai Luan's departing figure.
A thought suddenly popped into her mind.
The name "simulated universe"... was something Bai Luan blurted out when they first met.
Just how far into the future did he glimpse?
A prophet who has glimpsed the threads of fate?
Oh...
This is getting more and more interesting.
Whether you are qualified or not is for the other members of the simulated universe project team to judge.
Presumably, the result will not disappoint.
Chapter 40 There's Always One That Will Be Yours
The story hasn't even begun yet.
Therefore, Bai Luan encountered Estella, who had not yet grown up.
Looking at the still somewhat naive Aista in front of him, Bai Luan began to think about how to train her into a qualified stationmaster.
Estella didn't bring much this time; just some essential supplies, and Pepe and Alan.
Of course, the core item is that credit card that can almost never be maxed out.
These two people and their dog are newcomers and it will probably take them some time to get used to life here.
Bai Luan immediately noticed that these two people differed from his memory.
They...they...
They don't even have their own special weapons yet!
How can you tolerate this?!
I can't stand even a little bit!
We'll build them for them right away.
Even if you don't have to graduate in terms of "training level", at least you should graduate in terms of appearance first.
Bai Luan pondered the arrangements for the two men for a moment, then gave the two nervous newcomers a kind smile.
"Don't be nervous, just relax. I'll show you around the space station. You'll be living here from now on."
Alan, still wary, stood beside Estelle, his eyes scanning the surroundings, faithfully fulfilling his duties as a bodyguard despite the unease of entering a new environment.
He would appear more dignified if he wasn't holding Peipei in one arm and pulling the suitcase with the other.
Estella, on the other hand, was very polite and responded to Bai Luan's words respectfully, then continued to remain tense.
Although she was personally summoned by Lady Black Tower, she knew very well that it was merely something Lady Black Tower did on a whim.
I never expected that when I came here, the current station manager would come in person.
Before coming, Estella had done thorough research.
In her eyes, the person in front of her had a legendary story and was a great figure who could closely follow Lady Black Tower.
The important thing isn't the big shot; Estádio has seen big shots before.
The most important thing is to stay closely aligned with Lady Black Tower! That's remarkable!
If possible, I would like to achieve this as well!
Because the person on the other side was someone she longed for, Estella unconsciously became a little nervous.
Alan's tension stemmed from his anxiety about the new environment, not from Bai Luan. This was easy to deal with; all it would take was to give him some weapons.
But Estella's situation is a bit more complicated...
"I told you, don't be so nervous. I'm not one of those annoying, low-EQ old men in your family. Do I look that old?"
"No, not old, rather too young. They don't look much older than me."
"It's not just that I look older, I'm not that much older than you in reality either. Don't believe those rumors and stories that I'm hundreds of years old, they're all fake and exaggerated."
With a hint of curiosity, Estella asked:
"The whereabouts of that sealed star core are also unknown?"
"Oh, those are true."
"ah?"
Why is it that the story that seems most fabricated is actually true?
"They say I'm hundreds of years old, but I'm just trapped in a time turbulence. Hundreds of years have passed in the outside world, but in reality, I only feel like a few minutes have passed."
Bai Luan earnestly debunked the claim:
"Theoretically speaking, I am a young man in his twenties from more than nine hundred years ago."
Despite his serious expression and earnest tone, the combination of his statement about "a young man in his twenties more than nine hundred years ago" created a strange sense of absurdity.
It's like talking nonsense with a straight face.
Estella couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!"
She immediately covered her mouth, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"It's just...it's just that putting these two sentences together makes me feel..."
Bai Luan waved his hand dismissively and said:
"It's okay, I would laugh too. Just relax."
On the Black Tower Space Station, Bai Luan was the best guide; no one knew the space station better than him.
Bai Luan led Estella and Alan on a tour of the space station, interspersing some anecdotes about the space station along the way.
The stories are varied, sometimes about the difficulties of building facilities, and sometimes about the merciless criticism and ridicule of some of the old rookie's high-risk operations.
These old newbies never dreamed that nine hundred years later, their embarrassing history would be used as a negative example by their own site owner!
It just goes to show how long the haters can keep going! They're still criticizing!
Through a series of short stories, Aista gradually gained a general understanding of the entire Black Tower space station, learning the names of each module, the function of each facility, and the various departments.
During this process, I gradually relaxed.
Attention gradually shifted from Bai Luan's identity to the Black Tower Space Station itself.
Those bizarre and wonderful objects, the scientific discussions that can be seen everywhere, the stunning starry sky that can be admired with just a turn of the head, and the magical inspiration mushroom that rides in a UFO.
Estelle had only been at the space station for less than a day, but she loved it far more than her own home.
Even though it's not my home, I don't feel out of place.
Even though I'm traveling far from home, I feel like I'm coming home.
Estella found herself walking to the huge viewing window, the cool touch of the glass spreading from her fingertips.
Outside the window, the Milky Way spins eternally.
The starry sky she had gazed at countless times, she was now within it.
very nice.
I'll be living here from now on.
A feeling called freedom sprouted and grew in her heart.
Those unpleasant memories of being bound by family rules, cold stares, and meaningless social interactions surged up like a tide, only to be fiercely shaken off by her!
You guys! You can't control me anymore!
May I have little to do with you for the rest of my life, and may we all live well and not disturb each other.Isn't the starry sky beautiful?"
Bai Luan's voice came from behind, bringing Aista back to her senses. Aista turned around and saw that Bai Luan was also admiring the vast starry sky, just like her.
"If you search patiently, you will eventually find one that belongs to you."
Estelle's body trembled almost imperceptibly. An indescribable warm current, accompanied by a slight sourness, instantly broke down her defenses.
The people in my family always ask.
What's so interesting about the starry sky? What's so great about the stars? They're not worth much money.
However, liking something doesn't need a reason.
When Estádio first raised her head and looked up at the starry sky, she knew that she would be immersed in this unknown starry sky for the rest of her life.
I want to have a star that belongs to me.
It must never be discovered by anyone else.
For years, it has mischievously hidden itself in the starry sky, avoiding the gaze of other astronomers, all for the sake of meeting itself on an unexpected night.
This is Estelle's dream.
But no one around Estelle ever understood her dream, the romance she pursued that belonged to the starry sky.
They'll just link everything to credits, give it a cold glance, and then tell themselves:
"What's so great about it? It's not worth much money."
Unexpectedly, after leaving home, I met someone who understood my dreams.
"Thank you, Station Master. I will try my best to find my own star, as long as I can stay in this space station..."
Estelle gazed at the starry sky, reaching out as if to touch the shimmering starlight.
"We will definitely find it."
Alan stood beside Estelle, a smile on his face.
Miss hasn't laughed like this in a long time.
He hadn't seen the young lady laugh so purely and so easily in a very long time.
"The Black Tower Space Station should be such a place, a place where everyone can conduct research and pursue their ideals. As the stationmaster..."
Bai Luan smiled and formally addressed the two newlyweds:
"Esta, Alan, Pepe... Welcome, you are now officially members of the Black Tower Space Station."
"Woof!"
Peipei, nestled in Alan's arms, cried out, her eyes fixed on Bai Luan, as if asking:
"I'm involved too?"
Bai Luan laughed and explained:
"I am a master of impartiality, treating everyone equally."
Chapter 41 Can I live a simulated universe for a lifetime?
In just one day, Bai Luan had crafted the unique weapons for Estella and Alan.
That's how fast and swift it was.
Compared to the numerous projects at the Great Black Tower, creating two exclusive weapons is much easier.
The day after Alan and Estella arrived at the station, Bai Luan gave them their unique weapons as gifts, along with their ID cards.
It's clear that Estelle and Alan really like this gift.
Estella tried to give Bai Luan money as a return gift, but Bai Luan refused, saying that he was not short of money.
"If you really want to spend some money, then take a look at what the space station is lacking."
"We could spend the money on the space station!?"
Bai Luan's words were like opening a new world for Aistar, and Aistar went back and placed orders like crazy.
A short while later, Alan arrived at the office door carrying a stack of bills.
"Station manager, could you please persuade the young lady that she has bought too many things?"
Bai Luan looked at the bill that was almost overwhelming Alan.
Yes, we really should try to persuade them.
Bai Luan went to talk to Aistar.
You should buy them in batches; otherwise, it will cause logistical congestion.
Bai Luan spoke earnestly, and Aista humbly sought his advice.
Alan hesitated several times before speaking.
The main question is how to buy it! And will there be any delays in logistics?
Isn't the main issue that we overbought?
And why does the site administrator have experience with this kind of thing?
Is that right?
never mind,
Whatever makes you happy.
Alan gave up.
At least for now, I've given up.
Regarding the division of departments, Alan naturally chose the defense department, while Bai Luan chose to keep Estádio by his side and gradually teach her some daily tasks.
How to mediate conflicts among staff members, how to politely engage with learned individuals, and how to adapt to the various facilities of the space station and complete research projects.
These things were routine for Bai Luan, as easy as drinking water, but for Aistar, they were still somewhat difficult to learn.
Bai Luan wasn't in a hurry. Seeing that Aista had learned enough for her to digest for a while, he paused the lesson for a bit.
Once she has almost fully digested it, then teach her something new.
As for how to become a stationmaster, it's even simpler: Bai Luan leaves a letter and then disappears for a while.
During this period, Estella was left to handle the situation, while Bai Luan secretly observed. If Estella was truly unable to manage the situation, Bai Luan would return to put out the fire.
That being said, Bai Luan has never actually rushed back to put out a fire, which just goes to show that Aista is indeed talented in management.
On closer inspection, it seems normal. After all, Estella's family has a prestigious background, she comes from a wealthy family, and she has probably experienced many big events.
It would be strange if she didn't have the aura of someone in a position of power. Estella just needs some time to mature. Time will teach her how to better handle interpersonal relationships, or even... manipulate them.
As for Alan, he was a pure sports student who didn't need any time to mature; he conquered the entire defense department with his fists.
He's now the senior member of the defense department.
Once he's fully familiar with the daily operations of the Defense Section, he'll be able to truly become the head of the Defense Section.
As expected, physical confrontation is faster than verbal communication.
They really got the efficiency figured out.
In their respective studies and growth, half a year quickly passed, and both of them were fully integrated into the Black Tower Space Station, and had a complete understanding of their responsibilities.
Even if Bai Luan leaves nothing behind and simply disappears, the Black Tower Space Station won't encounter any problems.
Everyone assumed that if Bai Luan was around, they would contact Bai Luan; if Bai Luan wasn't around, they would contact Aistar.
Bai Luan nodded in satisfaction at the current state of the Black Tower Space Station.
The Great Black Tower has also moved to the Black Tower Space Station and begun setting up a simulated universe.
With the Great Black Tower himself in charge, even if the antimatter legion attacks, there won't be too much of a problem.
From any perspective, Bai Luan can temporarily leave the Black Tower Space Station.
Yes, he plans to leave the Black Tower space station for a while.
On the one hand, I wanted to find a place to improve myself.
On the other hand, the Great Black Tower is coming here to build a simulated universe, and he plans to hide there.
Otherwise, if the Big Black Tower catches him and makes him write the basic code for a simulated universe, then his good days will begin.
Of course, what Bai Luan feared was not doing hard labor, but rather not being able to handle it.
Why would Bai Luan be allowed to participate in a project that's at the level of a genius club member?
It would be better to let Bai Luan fight Su Nuo one-on-one; that would be easier.
If I write a mountain of code that crashes the entire project, then I'm doomed.
Bai Luan could barely hold his own against one genius, Da Heita, using the Little Black Room. But what about facing three geniuses at the same time: Luo Sigumu, Ruan Mei, and Da Heita?
Wouldn't I give myself away as soon as I open my mouth?
When a group of people sit down for a meeting, and you start babbling as soon as you open your mouth, wouldn't you lose all face?
Moreover, this is not a short-term project; it's clear that once you get involved, you'll be committed for half your life.
Even if the truth doesn't come out in the short term, what if the battle lines are stretched out?
Is it possible to simulate the universe for a lifetime?
Is it possible?
Answer me!
Is it possible not to do it?
I doubt it. I tried refusing before, but it didn't seem to work.
The Great Black Tower will not easily change its mind.
Since she offered to join the project, she will try to implement it until she gets a result that either Bai Luanxing agrees or disagrees.
What if Bai Luan gives up the title of genius, admits it directly, and stops pretending?
It doesn't seem like that will work either.
The problem with doing this is...
Bai Luan has performed exceptionally well over the years.
Under these circumstances, if Bai Luan joins the project team and performs poorly, she might think that Bai Luan is deliberately slacking off.
Even if you lay it all out and make it clear that you're not faking it and that you're just not good enough, you still can't explain your previous performance.
Bai Luan cannot disclose the system.
Even if I confessed, probably no one would believe me.
Hehe, I'm in a bind now.
After careful consideration, Bai Luan ultimately decided to improve herself.
Since I've chosen to pretend to be a genius, I might as well go all the way.
Otherwise, when your little chicken feet are exposed, you'll have to scoop them up more.
Dude, you still have some shame.
As for where she planned to go, Bai Luan had already decided.
Go to college!
Fill in the last piece of the map of my past life!
Go to First Truth University!
Go find Dr. Truth!
Go and cling to your godfather's leg!
Knowledge should be shared!
Praise to Professor Ladio!
