This researcher who had suddenly appeared had clearly been respectfully paying his respects to Cheese Lava before, but now he had completely changed.
He came before Nero and volunteered himself. "Please allow me to modify the synesthesia beacon for you next, Nero."
"To understand what Cheese Lava was saying before, I specifically modified a synesthesia beacon. I'm already very familiar with it."
"Mm. Thank you." Nero blinked. Though he was a little surprised by someone suddenly jumping out, it would be great if someone could translate what this Rice Dumpling was saying.
Just what he needed.
Then, with the help of this suddenly appeared person modifying the synesthesia beacon, Stelle and Nero finally understood what this Rice Dumpling was saying.
The little thing was quite narcissistic.
"Wahaha, I'm a genius, a genius among geniuses!"
Cheese Lava's voice sounded different depending on who heard it. Whether it was Stelle or Nero, it sounded like their own voice.
"Ms. Ruan Mei has finally noticed this genius!" Cheese Lava said.
"Does Ms. Ruan Mei acknowledge that this genius is a successful creation? Ms. Ruan Mei still has not recognized me as a qualified lifeform! I must continue working hard!"
Nero listened to what Cheese Lava was saying, narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help saying, "Whether this Rice Dumpling counts as a qualified lifeform is hard to say, but with it having this kind of problem and such a strong dependence on Ruan Mei, it obviously can't be called a genius."
"Hearing it call itself a genius instantly makes Herta seem at least three levels lower."
"What are you talking about? You understand nothing!" Cheese Lava looked at Nero and said, "There is a kind of longing called the creator. To the world, Ms. Ruan Mei is just one person, but to me, she is the entire world, ah! Ms. Ruan Mei!"
Suddenly, Cheese Lava looked at Nero and Stelle with a cautious and vigilant gaze.
"You two, how can you be so unmoved by this? Don't tell me you're spies sent by Red Bean Ash?"
Stelle watched from the side, deep in thought.
Judging from Cheese Lava's behavior, its creator complex toward Ruan Mei seemed to have worn away the unconscious influence Nero naturally gave off.
Very quickly, Stelle and Nero decisively turned off the synesthesia beacon's translation function for Ruan Mei's creations.
Rather than listening here to a creation that had communication difficulties and was obsessed with Ruan Mei the way a Knight of Beauty followed Beauty, it would be better to gather information from this researcher who could modify synesthesia beacons.
After asking around for some information, the Lifeforms Department researcher who had previously brought Stelle and Nero here sent Stelle a message.
There was a photo attached. In the center of the photo was a toilet. The researcher said these little things could be thrown into the toilet.
Stelle had no doubts about this. As for why...
Because she recognized that toilet.
It was a machine that could teleport people away. She had played with it many times before at Herta Space Station. Being flushed away by it felt strangely magical.
After that, Stelle and Nero mercilessly stuffed Cheese Lava and the milk five-nut flavored Rice Dumpling created earlier into the toilet and flushed them away together.
Just after sending off the two little things, Ruan Mei suddenly messaged Stelle, saying that something had come up.
So the two temporarily put aside their current work and found Ruan Mei in Herta's office.
"Herta called Screwllum and me to the space station," Ruan Mei said directly as soon as they met.
"It's to discuss some important matters. She also sent an invitation to Stephen, but he hasn't replied. Herta doesn't seem willing to wait any longer."
"Next, I hope you'll attend with me." Ruan Mei looked at Stelle."
"Huh? Why am I going too?" Stelle asked.
"I don't want Herta wasting effort on trivial matters, though she probably wouldn't care anyway."
"Just in case, I need someone who can speak for me, that would be you."
"In that case, I'll keep flushing those things down the toilet. We'll meet up later, Stelle." Seeing that he had nothing to do, Nero waved and left.
However, he left Fuyan behind in case Stelle suffered some unnecessary disadvantage during the geniuses' discussion.
Entrusted with such an important task by Nero, Fuyan instantly felt as though her entire heliobus had ascended.
This wasn't referring to her mood, but to how she felt about herself.
It was as if she had evolved from one class to a higher one, from a small heliobus into a great heliobus.
As a spirit of starlight, Fuyan felt this change very clearly, yet it still felt unreal. In any case, she hid herself on Stelle.
After that, Ruan Mei took Stelle to attend the meeting.
Though in Nero's view, this was completely unnecessary. After all, everyone attending was a genius. No matter what happened, it was only a matter of whether they cared or not.
While Nero was flushing Ruan Mei's pastry creations down toilets, Stelle was attending the genius meeting with Ruan Mei, and the Astral Express was making a brief stop at Herta Space Station, another major event was taking place in a distant region of the universe.
Somewhere in a faraway starry sky, a disturbance suddenly spread out. Dreamlike, magnificent colors wove the stars into clusters of blooming flowers. Brilliant multicolored radiance lit up the dark cosmos, as though dressing the universe in splendid robes.
The light was so beautiful as it bloomed among the stars, drawing countless gazes.
However, while it was a major event, there wasn't much conflict involved. At most, a few impatient Mirror Holders got eliminated. For now, let's take a look at the genius meeting instead.
When Ruan Mei arrived at the meeting venue with Stelle...
"Hi, Ruan Mei. We've been waiting for you for quite a while." Herta greeted Ruan Mei, then noticed Stelle following behind. "Oh, you're here too? Looks like you two get along pretty well."
Following Ruan Mei's instructions, Stelle smiled and nodded.
Screwllum also greeted Stelle.
"Pleased to see you, Miss Stelle. Logic, Our reunion has come sooner than predicted."
Herta still spoke with her usual arrogance. Though as a Genius, she really was impressive.
"Although you weren't invited, welcome, Stelle. Remember this historic moment."
"When was the last time three geniuses were in the same room? And how long will it be before it happens again?"
Listening to Herta, Stelle pursed her lips. She had originally wanted to argue that three geniuses being in the same room happened every day, she, Nero, and March were often called little geniuses, but considering Ruan Mei's request, she ultimately stayed silent.
Screwllum nodded.
"Affirmative. Aside from the Simulated Universe, we rarely have opportunities to communicate with one another. I look forward to seeing what sparks of thought this exchange will produce."
