Luo Cheng received a text message from Teio telling him to go to the lab.
The lab?
The image of the horse girl with the listless eyes, Agnes Tachyon, appeared in Luo Cheng's mind. As Tracen's famous "Mad Scientist," Agnes Tachyon was known for causing a lot of trouble. Making her lab a complete mess was a minor issue. Once, she caused Luo Cheng to think there was a fire, so he grabbed a fire extinguisher and rushed over. He was terrified that the horse girls would foolishly walk into the fire without knowing what was happening. Leaving burn marks on their beautiful skin would be a lifelong regret for Luo Cheng. His affection for the horse girls wasn't about adding special quirks to their bodies.
Thankfully, these horse girls would react to emergencies. The disciplinary committee members with "Discipline" armbands quickly rushed to the leak, and they soon caught the suspect of the incident, Agnes Tachyon. She was taken to the disciplinary committee room.
Incidents like this were not uncommon. At first, Luo Cheng was surprised, but he quickly grew to like these random events. When she caused chaos at Tracen, he would blend in with the crowd, feeling like he was a part of the story. From then on, Luo Cheng started paying attention to Agnes Tachyon. It wasn't because her looks matched his preference, but because of her strange personality, which gave Luo Cheng a different kind of fun in the otherwise peaceful game world.
After interacting with Agnes Tachyon, Luo Cheng could only say, Agnes Tachyon is great. Her D-cup chest was just right for a perfect handful, and her lifeless eyes had a unique charm. Perhaps because she liked sweets, Agnes Tachyon's lips were very sweet, with a strong hint of black tea. Luo Cheng really liked it.
Speaking of which, wasn't Agnes Tachyon's character setting in the game as a genius? Luo Cheng had always ignored that part of her character when he saw her in the game. Now that she had "reproduced," their interactions might be different.
Upon arriving at the lab, a strange medicinal smell filled his nose. Luo Cheng waved a hand in front of his face. The room's layout hadn't changed; it was still filled with various beakers and reagents, glowing in eerie, colorful lights. The first time he came here, he was a little scared, but now Luo Cheng was completely familiar with the place and almost considered it his second home.
When he saw Agnes Tachyon, an inscrutable smile appeared on her face. "You've arrived, Guinea-kun."
Guinea-kun?
According to the horse girl game's lore, this was Agnes Tachyon's nickname for her trainer. I shouldn't be her trainer yet, right?
Oh well. Whether he was now or not, he would be in the future. Luo Cheng had no intention of letting anyone else train Agnes Tachyon.
"Hello, Tachyon," Luo Cheng said, sitting on the sofa.
"I heard about your situation from Teio, Guinea-kun. Can you tell me more about what this 'game world' is like?"
"You believe it?"
"A theory can't be dismissed before it's been disproven. It's not about believing or not believing; it's about whether it can be proven."
"It contains a lot of adult content. I'm afraid you'll hit me with a Shoryuken and send me to meet the immortals. Promise me you won't kill me."
"Medicine is built on the foundation of human anatomy. If you're talking about taboos, our current scientific achievements are proof that humans constantly break taboos. Besides, when it comes to doing bad things, no one is number one besides me. I'm in no position to criticize you, so you can relax."
"Alright."
Since Agnes Tachyon was genuinely asking, Luo Cheng decided not to hide anything. Her affection level was at 80, which was quite high, even higher than the three in the student council. She was like a fixed-location treasure chest he would farm by visiting her lab. So Luo Cheng told her everything. Without beating around the bush, he straightforwardly shared his experiences.
"Oh? How interesting." Agnes Tachyon's expression showed her genuine curiosity. Just as Luo Cheng had thought, she saw no problem with any of it. What's wrong with a man mating with women? It's a natural biological process. "What you did there is completely different from what you do here. It's like a teenager fantasizing in his head. How old are you, twenty-two or twenty-three?" Agnes Tachyon asked.
"Twenty-two," Luo Cheng replied.
"You should be past the age of fantasizing. Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Do you count?"
"If you think so, then yes. Are you free this weekend?"
"I'm going out with Teio this weekend."
"Then next time," Agnes Tachyon said, returning to her seat. "It seems the two worlds are definitely connected, but it's impossible to say what that connection is exactly. However, based on what you've said, one thing is certain: the 'Agnes Tachyon' in the game world is in sync with me. She does the exact same things I do."
Agnes Tachyon taped a piece of paper to the wall. "I'll make this my top research priority. Once I figure out the connection between the two worlds, even if you go back to the game world, I will continue this research. You can find 'me' directly then. By the way, you don't have my command authority yet. Let's make you my trainer. Maybe you'll be able to directly order me to conduct research."
Agnes Tachyon was terrifyingly rational and terrifyingly smart. "If I have any questions, I'll call you, Guinea-kun."
"Alright, I'll leave it to you, Tachyon."
"To be honest, I'm also very curious whether you have a problem or this world has a problem."
"Maybe both?"
"That would be truly fascinating. Just thinking about it makes me laugh. Haha!" Agnes Tachyon held her stomach, laughing with a theatrical rhythm.
"Tachyon, your personality really is great."
"Oh? I like your interesting nature, too, Guinea-kun."
After seeing Luo Cheng off, Agnes Tachyon lay down on the sofa, took off her shoes, and stretched her feet. It had been a long time since anything had captivated her so much. To Agnes Tachyon, what Luo Cheng did to the horse girls was irrelevant. Whether it was fantasizing or actually happening, she didn't care. She only wanted to know if that incredible world was real or not. In fact, after Luo Cheng entered the room, Agnes Tachyon had distinctly felt her body react to his presence, something that had never happened before. What he said indeed had a basis in reality.
Agnes Tachyon thought about just taking his body to study. Since he could travel between two worlds, his body might be different from others.
Don't worry, I won't hurt him. Agnes Tachyon just wanted to collect his bodily fluids. After all, he was already used to this sort of thing, so it would be fine even if she was a little rough. Maybe Guinea-kun would even like being "squeezed for juice."
Agnes Tachyon had found a new direction for her research.
