Since Bai Luan had failed to hit the guaranteed pity after over a hundred pulls, he temporarily gave up on the idea of using the Anywhere Door to randomly teleport out for a change of scenery.
However, since he had already taken the time off, Bai Luan didn't intend to waste it.
Was there any place his Anywhere Door could teleport him to directly that would be suitable for travel?
Hmm... it seemed there really was.
The Xianzhou Loufu was a good destination.
Although Bai Luan had never been to the Xianzhou, he had been on the Astral Express.
And now, the train was conveniently docked right at the Xianzhou Loufu's doorstep, so why not go visit the Xianzhou?
He'd treat it as a vacation.
If he could dig up some Ambrosial Arbor from the Xianzhou and forge himself a sword, that would be great.
He wondered what kind of weapon could be made using Ambrosial Arbor as material.
However, it was highly unlikely he'd get any; the Xianzhou strictly controlled Ambrosial Arbor.
Never mind, it was just something to do on the side. If he got it, great; if not, so be it.
He could also try the taro boba, play a few rounds of Empyrean Jade, and watch Guinaifen's live stream antics... The Xianzhou was not like the other places he had visited before; a person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere could be arrested by the Cloud Knights.
Even going to the Xianzhou Loufu normally for a visit would likely involve various troublesome procedures.
So, announcing himself as a member of the Genius Society could save him a lot of trouble.
Bai Luan took out his phone and asked Stelle for Jing Yuan's contact information.
Hmm... what excuse should he use to go to the Xianzhou Loufu... he'd just find any random reason.
Bai Luan, as Genius Society member #85, sent a message to Jing Yuan.
"I might be able to cure the mara-struck. Are you interested in collaborating?"
"OK, I'll wait for his reply."
He would use the Anywhere Door once he received a reply.
His foster father had mentioned coming soon... which probably meant Ruan Mei would also be coming here soon to try and create an Emanator.
He wondered if Ruan Mei would be interested in mara-struck extracted by the extraction gun.
After all, mara-struck could be considered a blessing from Abundance; understanding it should be helpful for Ruan Mei's research.
He'd just ask her directly.
Bai Luan: "Miss Ruan Mei, are you there?"
Ruan Mei: "What is it?"
Bai Luan: "Suppose, and I mean suppose."
Bai Luan: "If I forcibly extract mara-struck in a certain state, would you be interested in the extracted mara-struck?"
Ruan Mei: "Interested."
Ruan Mei: "What reward do you want?"
Bai Luan: "I haven't finished yet."
Bai Luan: "This thing carries risks. If the storage device is accidentally damaged, the mara-struck inside will leak out onto the holder."
Ruan Mei: "Thank you for the warning."
Ruan Mei: "What reward do you want?"
...So she's completely unafraid of risks, is she?
Is this what a Genius is like?
Bai Luan pouted.
Right, a member of the Genius Society didn't need him to worry.
Bai Luan: "Consider it payment for raising Stelle."
Bai Luan: "I don't have it yet, but when I collect it, I will send it to you."
Ruan Mei: "Thank you."
Bai Luan: "You're welcome."
Alright, the destination for the mara-struck bullets was also found; now he just had to wait for the Xianzhou's reply.
『They've already started to act; someone has begun to divine about you through various means』
Oh?
Fu Xuan made her move?
He wouldn't reply for now. Was Jing Yuan relying on Fu Xuan's ability to divine the outcome of this invitation?
As expected of Jing Yuan, he was indeed cautious.
Considering how Genius Society members often caused earth-shattering events, it was indeed appropriate to treat them this way.
But very quickly, Bai Luan thought of something fun.
"Can you control the divination results of Fu Xuan?"
『Simple』
"That's great."
A smile appeared at the corner of Bai Luan's mouth.
"First, make her divine that I am male."
『And then?』
"Then make her divine that I am pregnant."
『...』
『You really know how to have fun』
At the same time, on the Xianzhou Loufu.
Fu Xuan stared in disbelief at the divination result she had produced.
Huh???
What did "is male, but pregnant" even mean?
Although Fu Xuan had heard about the capabilities of Genius Society members, this was... The most absurd part was that she had calculated this herself.
Fu Xuan's worldview was shattered for the first time by something she had personally calculated.
Could she be having an issue?
For the first time, Fu Xuan doubted her own skill; she thought it was simply too ridiculous.
Now she was in a contradictory state.
On one hand, she believed she couldn't make mistakes, but on the other hand, she felt this was too preposterous.
Could this be how Geniuses usually played around?
Out of caution, Fu Xuan decided to calculate again.
Hmm... this time the divination showed... he was a short-lived species of seven or eight hundred years old?
No!
How could these things form a single divination result?
Fu Xuan, not believing her luck, performed another divination.
Hmm, this time it changed again.
He died three hundred years ago.
So the one who sent the message to Jing Yuan must be a zombie, right?
These three changing divinations made Fu Xuan laugh in exasperation.
She realized that as soon as she began to calculate about Bai Luan, Bai Luan had already discovered her.
Now, the other party was toying with her, finding amusement at her expense.
"That scoundrel!"
Fu Xuan snorted coldly and stopped her calculations.
『She realized she was being played and stopped calculating』
"Is that so... what a pity. I originally planned to play a few more times before revealing my true identity to her. Young people nowadays still lack some patience..."
『You short-lived species are teaching the long-lived species how to do things?』
Facing the system's retort, Bai Luan smiled.
By toying with Fu Xuan, he had just demonstrated his strength, which increased the credibility of his previous message.
Now he just had to wait and see how Jing Yuan would reply.
Jing Yuan: "The Xianzhou people have been troubled by the mara-struck for a long time, so we naturally welcome anyone who offers assistance."
Jing Yuan: "Could you come to the Xianzhou for a detailed discussion?"
Bai Luan: "I can."
Jing Yuan: "Could you inform us of your arrival time at Loufu, so we can conveniently prepare accommodation for you?"
Bai Luan: "Do you want me to be fast or slow?"
Bai Luan: "I can be there immediately."
Jing Yuan: "Immediately, as in?"
Bai Luan twisted the handle of the Anywhere Door and arrived in a train car.
Bai Luan took a photo of the Xianzhou Loufu from the train window and sent it to Jing Yuan.
Bai Luan: "I'm at your doorstep."
Jing Yuan: "Are you a Nameless?"
Bai Luan: "Whether I am or not, it's not important."
Bai Luan: "What's important is that I'm at your doorstep."
Jing Yuan: "Please wait."
Jing Yuan: "I will arrange the corresponding procedures."
Bai Luan: "Understood, this is a necessary sacrifice for order."
Jing Yuan: "Thank you for your understanding."
Bai Luan put away his phone and looked at Pom-Pom, who was startled by his sudden appearance.
"Good morning, Pom-Pom."
"Passenger Bai Luan, next time you come, you must tell Pom-Pom first, Pam."
Pom-Pom was cleaning, holding a broom in one hand and his other hand on his hip:
"You wouldn't want Pom-Pom to be scared by your sudden appearance and hit you with the broom, would you, Pom?"
"Hehe, I'll be careful next time."
Bai Luan put away the Anywhere Door.
"Bai Luan, long time no see."
Welt Yang, sitting on the sofa, greeted Bai Luan with a smile.
"Long time no see, Uncle Yang."
"I've seen many videos; it looks like Stelle is having a lot of fun at the Space Station."
Old Yang's acceptance of new things was still so high.
"By the way, Uncle Yang, last time I visited a planet that had something you might be interested in."
"Oh? Really?"
Welt Yang smiled calmly; although he decided to listen carefully, he didn't expect to be deeply moved.
Having lived so long, what hadn't he seen?
"There's a one-to-one replica of a Vanguard-class Titan, complete with a cockpit."
Welt Yang's smile vanished, and the reflection from his glasses obscured his eyes.
"I need the coordinates of this planet."
