Bai Luan was speechless as Miss Ruan Mei came looking for him. Not long ago, he had just finished discussing Ailu with Screwllum.
Screwllum was very interested in this matter and even prepared to contact Graeme to record Ailu's process of acquiring emotions.l
Ailu was different from the newborn mechanical intelligences on Beta Star; her situation was more special, as she still had a human consciousness within her.
When a mechanical intelligence's emotions awaken, how does the human consciousness affect this process? Is it beneficial or harmful? If harmful, how can it be transformed into something beneficial?
All of these could provide Screwllum with a lot of inspiration for his research.
Bai Luan was naturally very happy to have Screwllum participate in this matter and provide help to Graeme.
He believed that this Mechanical Aristocrat could properly handle all problems encountered during Ailu's awakening process.
For this, Bai Luan spent some effort to get Screwllum and Graeme in touch.
Then, after he finished his work, not even two days passed before Ruan Mei came to find him again.
Ruan Mei's reason for seeking him was simple: she had recently encountered Inspiration Mushroom returning from visiting the refrigerator and sensed the Abundance aura clinging to it.
But it was clear that Inspiration Mushroom hadn't had any Abundance aura before, so Ruan Mei became interested and began to ask Inspiration Mushroom how that Abundance aura came to be.
Although Inspiration Mushroom didn't know what an Abundance aura was, it knew the special feeling the other party was talking about.
The only two places Inspiration Mushroom had recently felt a special sensation were beside Bai Luan and on Hippolyta.
Thus, Ruan Mei became interested in Hippolyta, the planet where Bai Luan had personally planted life.
Overturning a planet's ecosystem in a short time was not difficult for Ruan Mei.
But an entire plant planet that grew under the nourishment of Abundance power... this made Ruan Mei very interested.
Bai Luan could even give life to a folded piece of paper; now, using the power of abundance to plant plants across an entire planet, some very interesting phenomena were bound to occur.
So, after Screwllum's matter was settled, Ruan Mei immediately followed up.
"Miss Ruan Mei, I can send you to Hippolyta, but frankly, it's just an ordinary planet. You might be disappointed if you go there."
"That's something one only knows after going."
"Alright, if you insist."
Bai Luan took out the Anywhere Door and opened it for Ruan Mei.
"There's a laboratory I left on Hippolyta. You can use its facilities and living supplies."
Ruan Mei nodded knowingly, then asked:
"What are the conditions?"
Well, it seemed Ruan Mei had already formed a stereotype of him, always proposing conditions whenever they collaborated.
However, this time he really did have conditions.
"Research is fine, but don't damage the plants. After one day, I will pick you up and bring you back to the Space Station. Is this arrangement acceptable to you?"
Ruan Mei nodded:
"No problem."
All discussions concluded, Ruan Mei stepped through the Anywhere Door and went to Hippolyta.
Bai Luan believed that Ruan Mei wouldn't gain anything on Hippolyta, after all, the only special thing about that planet was probably the plants he had planted.
Hmm... at most, add that he had slightly ripened them with abundance.
But those plants hadn't shown anything too astonishing; if anything, they were very intuitive.
But this was the same as those in the Botanical Garden over nine hundred years ago, so Bai Luan didn't feel anything was amiss.
Never mind, let it be.
Ruan Mei spending a whole day researching on Hippolyta, only to be disappointed, wouldn't do him any harm.
Bai Luan was eager for the geniuses' overly high evaluation of him to drop a bit.
Just then, Bai Luan's phone suddenly vibrated wildly.
Silver Wolf: I! FINISHED! THE! GAME!
Silver Wolf kept repeating this message, at a very fast frequency.
Bai Luan curled his lips.
Bai Luan: If you keep spamming, your account will be banned.
As soon as this message was sent, Silver Wolf on the other end immediately became much more well-behaved and began normal communication.
Silver Wolf: I finished the game!
Bai Luan: If you send that sentence again, I'll really ban your account.
Silver Wolf: If I don't send it like that, you might not reply instantly.
Bai Luan: (≖ _ ≖)
Bai Luan: Wake up, you're not Ms. Herta. Don't dream that I'll reply to your messages instantly.
Silver Wolf: Excessive.
Silver Wolf: Let's not talk about that.
Silver Wolf: What about the cyberpunk anime you promised me?
Bai Luan: It's being made.
Silver Wolf: ?
Silver Wolf: I don't want that reply!
Silver Wolf: I want to watch it now!
Silver Wolf: That's what I deserve!
Silver Wolf: Do you know what I went through!?
She had never suffered so much in her life!
The use of cheats was officially sealed by Bai Luan, forcing Silver Wolf to face the Mita as an ordinary person.
Since she was born, she had never been so scared and unable to fight back!
Those common jump scares in horror games, let's not even mention them; after getting used to them, they were fine.
But that crazy mita chasing people with a chainsaw, Silver Wolf really couldn't forget!
Her gaming equipment was excellent, and the haptic feedback was very realistic; she was truly chased by the crazy mita, scrambling up and down!
If she could cheat... a mere out-of-control mechanical intelligence with a chainsaw, she could take it down with a wave of her hand. But in this game, she was just an ordinary person.
No matter how strong she was in reality, it was fake here; she could only be chased by the crazy mita.
Countless times! Countless times she felt frustrated and didn't want to play anymore, but thinking of the reward of the cyberpunk anime adaptation, she gritted her teeth and persevered!
Finally!
She played this game to its current ending!
Silver Wolf: I've never been chased by a lunatic with a chainsaw like this in my life! Where's the anime adaptation!?
Seeing the other party's obviously excited tone, Bai Luan, in a highly inhumane way, wanted to tease her.
So...
Bai Luan: Actually, this game isn't finished yet, so you haven't really completed it. Therefore, logically speaking, you won't see the cyberpunk anime adaptation.
Silver Wolf: ?
Silver Wolf: Are you going to play word games with me?
Silver Wolf: Don't make me explode on you!
Language is truly a magical thing; even through a screen, Bai Luan could feel Silver Wolf's rage.
Alright, alright, no more teasing her.
Bai Luan: See, so impatient.
Bai Luan: Just kidding.
Bai Luan: It's already in production, and I won't keep you in suspense; the entire series will be broadcast at once, so you can see the ending right away.
Speaking of this, Bai Luan fantasized about Silver Wolf's expression after watching the edgerunners ending.
She wouldn't be able to hold it together at all.
Bai Luan: I guarantee you'll enjoy it then.
Silver Wolf: (ᗜ ‸ ᗜ)
Silver Wolf: I don't believe you, you need to show me proof.
Oh, you don't believe me anymore?
It seems his credibility with Silver Wolf had hit rock bottom.
It was time to restore it, otherwise, the fun next time would be greatly diminished.
Bai Luan sent Silver Wolf character designs and some scenes from edgerunners.
Then Bai Luan contacted Piers via phone and learned about the production progress from him.
Quite a few scenes had already been produced, enough for him to cut a teaser PV.
Bai Luan: If you don't believe me, I'll release an anime PV tomorrow.
Silver Wolf: I'll believe you for now after seeing the PV.
Bai Luan: Then wait until tomorrow to watch the PV.
Silver Wolf: I'll be watching you!
Seeing the message from Silver Wolf, Bai Luan smiled.
Then he began to ponder whether to use a Cyberpunk DLC as a reward next time, to make Silver Wolf play Mita again.
However, this time he would give Silver Wolf a little special treatment, adding a small module.
Everything would be normal at first, but when the insane mita chased her, he would turn the insane mita into a Herta Puppet. Hmm... the scene would definitely be very interesting then.
Bai Luan wrote down this idea; he felt it might really come in handy in the future.
For future fun, Bai Luan now had to work hard to cut the edgerunners teaser PV.
The next day, both Yi Mu and Bl accounts updated simultaneously, announcing the upcoming anime adaptation of Cyberpunk and releasing the teaser PV.
After Bai Luan released the PV, he waited for the Anywhere Door's cooldown to end, then went to pick up Ruan Mei.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ruan Mei standing outside, waiting.
"I hope I'm not late?"
"No, you're very punctual."
Ruan Mei stepped through the Anywhere Door and entered the Space Station.
Bai Luan put away the Anywhere Door, looked at Ruan Mei, and said with a smile:
"Didn't I tell you? It's just an ordinary planet."
Ruan Mei gave Bai Luan a strange look and said:
"Don't you know that you cultivated the embryonic form of a new Abundance race on that planet?"
"?"
What are you talking about, Miss Ruan Mei?
I don't understand at all.
Ruan Mei then shared her discovery with Bai Luan: the plants Bai Luan had planted were evolving at an astonishing speed.
"That planet is very likely to give birth to a species with a unique life form."
Huh?
The Aeon of The Hunt won't come to elbow me, will he?
Hmm... he hasn't come to elbow me yet, so it should be fine.
When those lives are born, I'll guide them well.
Compared to the Aeon of The Hunt, it's better to think about how to explain to Ruan Mei that he never intended to cultivate a new Abundance race.
Bai Luan thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to explain. In the end, he scratched his head, looked at Ruan Mei, and said:
"...I said I just messed around and never expected this to happen, do you believe me, Miss Ruan Mei?"
