March 7th still hadn't recovered from her last bout of confusion when she immediately fell into another one.
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After hearing what Ruan Mei said, Levi fell silent for a moment before slowly opening his mouth.
A baffled sound came out.
"Huh?"
He dug at his ear, suspecting the toxins still hadn't been fully cleared out and that he was hallucinating.
After all, he had just heard a genius from the Genius Society asking him to insult her.
Off to the side, Stelle muttered to herself, "The same hobby…"
Levi, who was sitting shakily on the hospital bed while holding his forehead, swung his hand back and smacked Stelle on the butt.
He didn't use much force, but in Stelle's current condition, the pain struck straight into her soul.
Lying on the bed, Stelle kept wriggling around to ease the pain in her backside.
"Mmph! Mmph! Mm!!"
Levi pulled his gaze back and pressed a hand to his forehead as he looked at Ruan Mei, who was asking to be cursed at.
"What did you just say? My hearing's a little bad, I didn't catch it."
With the power of the Herrscher of Flames coursing through him, the toxins in his body had already been completely purged.
Which meant that sentence he heard earlier… Was probably not an illusion.
But Levi still found it hard to believe that words like that had actually come out of Ruan Mei's mouth.
Herta stirred things up from the side.
"If he didn't hear it clearly, then just say it again~"
Anyone could hear the teasing in her tone.
Faced with her friend urging her on and seeing the schadenfreude written all over her face, Ruan Mei sighed.
Then she spoke again, "Insult me."
Compared to the first time, when it had been hard to say out loud, the second time came much easier.
She could even say those two words calmly, without any psychological burden.
Probably because once you break past zero to one, the rest becomes easier.
Ruan Mei took out the sheet of paper she had prepared beforehand and handed it to the bewildered Levi.
After seeing the two words written on it, along with the specially marked pronunciation, Levi suddenly understood.
Why Ruan Mei had suddenly asked him to insult her.
It wasn't because of whatever "same kind" nonsense Stelle was talking about.
She simply wanted to confirm whether he was the person who had cursed at her back then.
Levi instantly understood why Ruan Mei had come looking for him.
'Damn it! She's here for revenge!'
He had thought only Herta came looking for payback. Who knew there was now another one.
Behind the sheet of paper, Levi's eyes flickered slightly before he handed it back to Ruan Mei.
"Please allow me to refuse your request."
Under everyone's gaze, Levi spoke with righteous conviction.
"As a member of the official Luofu organization, the Divination Commission, I will absolutely never engage in insulting others!"
"Whether voluntarily or upon request!"
[Ding dong!]
[Stelle: Do you believe your own words?]
[Levi: So your ass doesn't hurt anymore, huh?]
On the hospital bed, Stelle immediately reached both hands behind herself protectively over her injured backside.
Meeting his glowing red eyes, she swallowed nervously.
The others, seeing this, immediately had their curiosity hooked.
[Elysia: What happened? What happened? What happened?]
[Kiana: Curious.]
[Asta: Curious +1.]
[Lumine: You accomplished the feat I failed to achieve?]
Faced with everyone's questions, Levi didn't answer. Right now, the priority was dealing with Ruan Mei and Herta.
He couldn't let chatting in the group cause his facial muscles to stiffen up.
That would make it way too easy for people to notice something.
It wouldn't matter with ordinary people, but the two standing in front of him were among the smartest individuals in the universe.
He had no choice but to be extra careful around them.
Thinking of this, Levi couldn't help but curl his lips.
He seriously didn't understand why Fu Xuan had assigned him this kind of work.
Making him responsible for overseeing the activities of two important figures on the Luofu.
She really thought too highly of him.
He was just a tiny little diviner.
Shouldn't this kind of thing be handed to Qingque, the great contributor…
"I see."
Ruan Mei suddenly nodded and spoke calmly to Levi.
"In that case, we simply need to remove you from the Six Commissions of the Luofu, correct?"
Following his logic, if this identity was restraining him, then she would simply remove the restraint for him.
With her status as a member of the Genius Society, accomplishing something like that was more than possible.
She had even already thought through the compensation afterward.
"If my judgment is mistaken, then you can become my assistant and help me explore the universe."
To become a diviner in the Divination Commission, one's abilities had to pass inspection.
They were definitely no worse than ordinary researchers.
Levi suddenly felt his brain go fuzzy.
"Wait a second."
"Of course, if you are unwilling."
Without stopping because of Levi's interruption, Ruan Mei turned toward Herta beside her.
"I can also arrange for you to work at Herta Space Station. There, all of your activities will be under my responsibility."
In simpler terms, he would basically be going to Herta Space Station to enjoy life.
No matter what happened, Ruan Mei would cover for him.
Herta slapped a hand against her forehead and said speechlessly, "What exactly are you treating my space station as?"
'A retirement home?!'
And weren't these promises a little too tempting?
The price and reward were completely unequal.
What the other party lost was merely a job, but what he gained was a lifetime of happiness.
Ruan Mei's gaze remained calm. Precisely because they were unequal, they would be even more tempting.
Herta normally couldn't be bothered interacting with people and immersed herself in research on the Simulated Universe.
The station's affairs were all handled by Asta, including interactions with the outside world.
Naturally, she didn't know much about this sort of thing.
"So, what do you think?"
Surely he wouldn't refuse.
"Sorry, but please allow me to refuse once again."
A firm voice rang out.
[Stelle: I can tell you clearly want to agree.]
Levi lowered his head. Because Stelle was close by and lying down, she could clearly see the expression on his face.
[Levi: NMSL. Can you stop barking in the group chat?!]
Seeing the exchange between the two, everyone else grew even more curious.
What exactly had happened between Levi and Stelle?
After fiercely glaring at Stelle on the hospital bed, Levi lifted his head and declared with unwavering determination, "This is the basic moral standard of an upright gentleman. I will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely never insult people!"
[Stelle: 'NMSL']
[Levi: Where was your mother buried? @Stelle. Tomorrow I'll bring a shovel and pay my respects.]
[Elysia: Stelle, you'd better quiet down a bit. If Levi really gets angry, nobody in our group can stop him.]
[Elysia: Think about your butt! Even if not for your own sake, at least think about your butt, okay?!]
[Elysia: Don't let your butt down!]
[Elysia: Stelle!!]
[Kiana: …]
[Asta: …]
[Lumine: …]
[Kiana: Elysia (Stelle's butt personality)]
[Elysia: Ehehe~]
Elysia stuck out her tongue.
Inside the hospital room, after hearing this, Ruan Mei pondered for a moment, then nodded and left the room together with Herta.
After the two left... March 7th finally snapped out of her confused state.
