As for where the fishhook and bait would appear? Even Hermes himself did not know.
"The Endless Void Sea, isn't that still a sea?"
Hermes began a new round of fishing with great interest, nodding with absolute certainty, "As long as it is a sea, one can definitely catch 'fish'!"
"I wonder what the operating logic of the Chat Group's lottery function is?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, your fishing technique is quite impressive, isn't it?"
After finishing her tea, Ms. Herta discovered that this guy Hermes had actually designed a new fishing technique, so she immediately began studying and copying it without hesitation, attempting to develop a fishing method of her own.
Ruan Mei did not come over, because she knew that her current level was not high enough to see anything of value.
Therefore, she simply watched Hermes and Ms. Herta with a smile. She did not attempt to research or calculate any problems, but instead prepared to make some snacks that would fit the current atmosphere.
On the side, Chadwick, who was having a long-awaited leisurely chat with Screwllum, was a man who had suffered much. The expression on his face was both youthful and possessed an indescribable sense of vicissitude.
At this moment, watching the two bickering, his eyes held a slight trace of envy and a gentle smile. Chadwick sighed with emotion, "If I had possessed the mindset of Hermes and Ms. Herta when I was young, I wouldn't have ended up in that state, would I?"
The geniuses of the Genius Society, as long as they were willing, could achieve many things unimaginable to ordinary people.
Even for the obscure Chadwick, when he was young, didn't he easily create a superweapon because he wanted to strike at destruction and prove himself?
But precisely because geniuses are outrageous enough, whether a genius's state of mind can match their talent becomes exceptionally important.
Even Dr. Primitive, who is almost anti-sentient life, is quite calm in his evil. He never knows what regret is, so even if the whole world is his enemy, he can live quite comfortably relying on his intelligence.
But Chadwick clearly could not do that, so it is actually not surprising that he ended up in that state in the original timeline.
At this moment, a flaxen-haired girl wearing an artistically beautiful maid outfit, whose appearance was on par with Ms. Herta and Ruan Mei, was holding a tray of cocktails radiating a dreamlike glow.
The young girl came to Hermes's side and expressionlessly placed these cups of "Gathering and Parting" cocktails steadily in front of him.
"Interesting, you actually didn't try to escape from the palm of my hand?"
Seemingly quite surprised by the arrival, Hermes glanced at the woman slightly, took a sip of this dreamlike wine that could originally only be tasted in the game, and nodded slightly, "A very flavorful cocktail, it counts as a qualified work."
It must be said that talent is indeed a thing that can make people feel desperate.
The ingredients for this cocktail were already very good, and when the bartender mixed the drink, it also contained their expectations for the future and relief regarding the past, but in reality...
It was still not as good as the almost instinctive bartending technique of that little girl from Mondstadt named Diona.
Hermes had once curiously tasted a cocktail that little girl had mixed casually; that time left a deep impression on him.
A casually made cocktail had a kind of natural beauty that seemed heaven-sent; no wonder it could make that drunkard Barbatos drool.
"For things with a zero probability, the consequences are the same whether you do them or not."
The woman in the maid outfit said coldly, "I never do such futile things."
"Hehehe, Polkakakamu, I didn't expect you to end up like this today!"
Looking at this woman, Ms. Herta smiled broadly, picked up a glass of wine, took a sip, and felt the taste was quite excellent!
Ruan Mei on the side took a slight glance, then turned her gaze back to Hermes and Ms. Herta.
To Ruan Mei, although Polkakakamu had once caused her quite a bit of trouble, now, her value was clearly not as great as that of Hermes and Ms. Herta.
Polkakakamu... was already behind the version.
She was not worth Ruan Mei investing too much attention in.
"Although I had long known that Ms. Herta had a confrontation with the #4 seat, I didn't expect that I would actually be able to see her here."
Unknown to anyone, Stephen Lloyd had appeared beside Screwllum. When he saw this woman, he couldn't help but shrink his head, always feeling a chill in the area of his heart, as if a scalpel might appear at any moment and pierce through it.
"Stephen, you've come too late."
Looking at the little boy who had appeared, Screwllum shook his head; this guy had missed too many opportunities.
Even Screwllum had to admit that Stephen Lloyd was truly a genius among geniuses, but his personality was a bit too much; he was simply too much of a shut-in.
"Hehe, but didn't I come this time?"
Stephen showed a somewhat shy smile, then looked at the fishing trio over there and asked curiously, "Why do I feel a bit strange looking at Hermes and Ms. Herta?"
It's like... looking at two Aeons?
Also, the power of the Path of Penacony surging on Hermes, like a cosmic tide, is truly too excessive, isn't it?
Can an Envoy achieve this level?
Screwllum looked at Chadwick's similarly curious gaze, thought for a moment, and then replied without concealment, "Hermes and Ms. Herta, in a strict sense now, are beings whose life essence stands at the same level as the Aeons."
"And that abnormal power of the Path of Penacony on Hermes..."
"It's very simple; this is the Path of Penacony accumulating power. When this power accumulates to a certain level, it will be the time for Hermes to ascend to godhood!"
Although this was a matter that could shock the universe, both Chadwick and Stephen just nodded quite calmly, indicating they had heard it.
As early as the first time they saw Hermes, they had almost guessed it.
It's just that...
"I didn't expect that our Genius Society would actually produce an Aeon of Beauty?"
Chadwick laughed in a low voice, feeling that after waking up from a sleep, the entire universe had gone crazy into a shape he didn't recognize.
A member of the Genius Society not shining on the Path of Erudition, but directly ascending the Path of Penacony?
What is the difference between this and the rumors fabricated by the Fictional Historians that Aha and Akivili are a married couple and gave birth to a daughter named Stelle?
Stephen nodded in understanding, then looked at Screwllum with twinkling eyes and asked, "Then what is the situation with Ms. Herta?"
Why does he feel like there is another Ms. Herta superimposed on her when he looks at her?
Is this some strange new technology?
Creating another version of oneself to play with oneself, it seems quite interesting, doesn't it?
