The meeting with Ruan Mei was merely a small interlude in Qi Zhimu's daily life, causing no significant ripples.
According to Stelle, Ruan Mei sought her out afterward to offer a solemn apology, leaving the girl completely bewildered.
Hadn't she already apologized? Why was she coming back for more?
Since the matter was over and she had received a guarantee that Ruan Mei wouldn't do such a thing again, the Little Raccoon naturally stopped worrying about it.
Stelle couldn't help but think, "I really am a kind and honest person."
After helping Ruan Mei retrieve the pastry creatures that had run off, she spent most of her time in the simulated universe.
Whenever the simulated universe was involved, Ms. Herta became busy again.
With Stelle's help, progress went quite smoothly.
In numerous simulations with uncertain timelines, they not only successfully simulated the beginning of the Aeon of The Propagation's birth but also highly restored the historical records of the terrifying disasters caused after its ascension.
What the genius cared about was not just this period of history, but also the hidden events lacking in historical records.
Digging deeper, they unearthed many factions related to the Paths.
During that disaster, it turned out these factions had done many things and had not remained uninvolved.
Among them, the Masked Fools of the Path of Elation received an oracle from the God of Joy. They stole a spaceship from the Mourning Actors—a different faction of the same Path—and set off grandly with people from even more factions on board.
The reason was to lend a hand in the upcoming war of the gods.
Ms. Herta wasn't sure if the Fictionologists had muddled the history, but along with the other geniuses, she believed it was a signal worth grasping.
Aha, the God of Joy, would issue oracles to the factions under His Path. Regardless of whether it was reliable, such behavior at least existed.
This suggested that other Aeons might very well have similar tendencies.
Involving the mysteries of the Aeons, Ms. Herta was very excited. Aside from her unshakeable personal time, she spent almost all her time immersed in the simulated universe.
As for Ruan Mei, her time was almost entirely filled by Qi Zhimu; everything she did was related to him.
Spending some time, Ruan Mei created a special plant and successfully infiltrated the department where Qi Zhimu was located.
It ate the potted plant inside, cosplayed as it, and acted as a surveillance camera...
Through this alternative camera, she gradually learned about Qi Zhimu's routine and work content.
He was very self-disciplined.
He arrived at the Medical Department on time for work. In the sectors that were crowded all day long, he performed consultations and treatments for staff members with various physical problems.
Most of these staff members didn't enter the medical sector because of illness, but because of numerous high-risk academic topics and curio research.
Some were seriously injured due to experiments, while others developed psychological issues from researching curios.
For example, there was a curio that told jokes to help people relieve stress.
As a result, a certain staff member applied to study it. What he heard were indeed jokes, but they were dark humor about himself. He was so angry that his mental state collapsed on the spot, and he fainted from a myocardial infarction.
If he hadn't been sent to the doctor early, even Qi Zhimu wouldn't have been able to save him.
Another example was a curio that looked like a toilet, which could allow people to teleport within a specific space.
A certain not-so-smart staff member buried his head in it until he suffered from hypoxia and cardiac arrest, yet he still failed to activate the curio.
After waking up from resuscitation, he still muttered with a face full of confusion, "Why didn't I successfully reach the gates of the new world?"
At this time, Ruan Mei clearly saw the corners of Qi Zhimu's mouth twitch slightly when he had an indescribable expression on his face.
In the past, A'Mu wouldn't have shown such an expression. How novel...
"Doctor Zhimu, why does the medicine you prescribed for me contain brain-boosting ingredients?"
"Because for that curio called 'The Gate to the New World,' you have to sit on it and press the flush button. The instructions are marked right next to the flush button," Qi Zhimu said indifferently.
"..." The staff member from the Department of Geocosmology's face instantly turned red. Without any defense, he grabbed his prescription and left the consulting room dejectedly.
Even the doctors and staff members in the Medical Department knew how to use that curio. He was too embarrassed to show his face.
Whether he would report to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine was not Qi Zhimu's concern.
It was quite common for staff members to do academic research until their brains became a bit muddled.
Watching Qi Zhimu's consultations, a day of work passed by before she knew it.
Ruan Mei had never felt time pass so quickly. Seeing him take off his lab coat to finish work, she felt a bit reluctant to let go.
Her authority was sufficient to access the surveillance of the public transit areas.
After operating for a moment and stitching together several surveillance screens, she discovered that Qi Zhimu and many staff members had boarded a public transport vehicle heading for the Azure Star.
The rest cabins in the Space Station were sufficient, but more staff members still preferred living on the planet.
Anyway, with advanced technology, commuting by public transport didn't take much time.
Ruan Mei didn't think much of it, but a thought was born in her mind.
Hmm... Should she have Ms. Herta arrange a temporary residence for her on the Azure Star?
Acting as soon as she thought of it.
Ruan Mei immediately contacted Ms. Herta.
The communication request was rejected.
Call again.
It went through.
"What is it? I'm testing the operation of the simulated universe. What can't be left in a message that you have to call? Speak quickly!" Ms. Herta's tone was tinged with impatience.
"Help me arrange a residence on the Azure Star. The location needs to be near the Med—"
"Just for such a trivial matter? I arranged it for you last time and you said you didn't want it. When did you start contacting people just to talk about such trifles?"
Ms. Herta's words came down like a barrage of cannon fire, interrupting Ruan Mei. She left a sentence and hung up the communication.
"You don't care about the testing of the simulated universe, but I do! Find Asta to arrange it yourself!"
"..."
Ruan Mei did not feel dissatisfied because of Ms. Herta's impatience.
Her emotions could only be easily swayed by Qi Zhimu.
For others, even a fellow genius like Ms. Herta, it wouldn't work.
She changed the communication number and connected to Asta.
"Hello, Ms. Ruan Mei. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing that the caller was the Space Station's most distinguished guest, Asta did not dare to be negligent.
"Help me arrange a residence on the Azure Star."
At this point, Ruan Mei's voice paused, and Qi Zhimu's face appeared in her mind.
Asta thought she had finished her request and said respectfully:
"Ms. Herta arranged it for you a long time ago. It has been regularly maintained, and you can move in at any time."
Ruan Mei was slightly startled. She was about to say she wanted it near Qi Zhimu's residence, but after thinking of something, she didn't mention it.
Living near Qi Zhimu, if he found out, it would seem intentional.
"Are there any other requirements, Ms. Ruan Mei?"
"No more."
"Okay, the coordinates have been sent to your Space Station terminal."
"Thank you for your hard work. Goodbye."
Ruan Mei closed the communication page. She did not rush there but instead checked Qi Zhimu's backup information on the Space Station.
The result surprised her.
In the address column, the information Qi Zhimu left was a private residence, rather than a unified arrangement by the management.
It was a good thing she hadn't told Asta just now.
Otherwise, if Asta went to ask Qi Zhimu and the latter asked back, it would be hard to explain.
Having finally gotten a chance to start over, Ruan Mei didn't want to lower her impression points in Qi Zhimu's eyes again for some reason.
As long as Qi Zhimu lived on the Azure Star, it wouldn't be hard to find out his address.
So the next day, Ruan Mei prepared to do her own things while observing Qi Zhimu.
Unexpectedly, Qi Zhimu was responsible for treating patients on the operating table today and was not in the consulting room.
There were no potted plants in the operating room to disguise herself as.
Ruan Mei had to temporarily give up on this idea.
...
Thanks again to [Hua Lou Yue Xiang]. It's the first time I've received such a valuable gift, thank you! Here's an extra chapter for the highway traffic jam.
Starting tomorrow, I have to be a hard-working beast of burden running everywhere. To prevent sudden death, extra chapters in April will be very difficult... Hajihuan will try to keep updating after midnight.
If not, then reality is too busy and it's delayed.
As usual, asking for a free 'Power Generation.' Yesterday, the number of reminders hit a record high of over 9,000, but not even 1,000 clicked on 'Power Generation'... Crying (┭┮﹏┭┮)
