Genshin Impact: Joining the Genius Society-Chapter 230: Jade Arrives at the Space Station

Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Jade Arrives at the Space Station

"..."

Raiden Makoto logged out of the Simulated Universe, her expression frighteningly cold.

Even Herta felt an invisible pressure bearing down.

Since there was nothing else to do while staying on the space station, Raiden Makoto had gone back in to run another Simulated Universe test.

But unlike before—

This time, she was testing the DLC Swarm Disaster.

Which meant that what awaited her was an overwhelming tide of insects.

As a woman, being forced to face creatures like bugs—

How could she possibly be in a good mood?

Even though she had learned many hidden truths about the universe, those densely packed insects still left her with severe psychological trauma.

The Archon War hadn’t even been this terrifying!

After finishing the Swarm Disaster test, Raiden Makoto’s aura was downright vicious.

Sensing this, Herta immediately severed the connection to her puppet.

The data had already been collected anyway.

As for the person— she’d just leave that to Su Ran to deal with.

They were on the same side.

There was no way he wouldn’t be able to calm her down.

"At least those were fake, right?" Herta said.

"But the fright they gave me was real!"

After Herta fled, Raiden Makoto could only vent all the resentment she’d accumulated in the Simulated Universe straight onto Su Ran.

After all, he was the one she was most familiar with.

If she ever got another chance, she absolutely would not agree to test the Simulated Universe again.

This was just suffering for no reason!

About half an hour later, Herta logged back in.

Seeing that Raiden Makoto’s emotions had finally settled, she let out a sigh of relief.

As long as the blame didn’t land on her, everything was fine.

Besides, the Swarm Disaster content wasn’t even something she added.

That was all Su Ran’s doing!

"You’re not bruised or swollen at all? Looks like your relationship’s pretty good."

Seeing that Su Ran looked nothing worse than a bit exhausted— no extra injuries, no bruises.

Herta felt a little disappointed.

She had been hoping to see him suffer a bit.

What, was this woman called Raiden Makoto not capable enough?

Could it be that she was henpecked?

The Herta puppet’s head suddenly sank—

Su Ran’s large hand had already landed on top of it.

"...You want to hit me? Go ahead, pain doesn’t sync anyway—

Ow ow ow OW!!!"

She had been completely unconcerned at first.

But the very next moment, she collapsed to the ground in pain.

She even disconnected outright.

After a long while, she finally logged back in.

"What’s going on? I was only using a puppet!"

This kind of attack that bypassed the puppet and directly affected her real body—

Why hadn’t she sensed it at all?

"Didn’t I just use the gap when you were offline to make a little electronic virus?" Su Ran said casually.

He had spent twenty minutes calming Raiden Makoto.

Then another ten minutes creating an electronic virus capable of affecting the human body.

He’d been waiting for Herta to log back in.

She’d ditched him way too decisively.

Of course she had to suffer a little for it.

"But I already disconnected from the puppet— why would my real body still feel pain?"

That was what puzzled Herta the most.

How could an electronic virus affect a human body?

She wasn’t a robot.

"Because the human body is also a precision instrument," Su Ran replied calmly.

"If they’re both machines, why wouldn’t it work?"

"..."

Herta couldn’t refute that.

After all, the universe did contain things that could affect both machines and living beings.

They just weren’t electronic viruses.

But if Su Ran could make it—

That didn’t surprise her at all.

"I was going to tell you some good news, but since you took revenge on me, I’m not telling you anymore!"

Unable to get the upper hand on Su Ran, Herta had no real countermeasures.

All she could do now was throw a little tantrum.

"You don’t have to tell me. Asta already messaged me.

The things I ordered have arrived."

"..."

So in the end, the one who stabbed her in the back was her own space station director?

Herta snorted unhappily and opened the door to her office.

"Where are you going?" Su Ran asked.

Herta turned back expressionlessly.

"To sign for the materials, of course.

They were purchased under my name. You’re not operating my puppet right now,

so obviously I have to go myself!"

She might be sulking, but the Stargate project involved her as well.

How could she not be proactive?

After all, cross-space transmission technology—

At present, there was only that single teleportation device.

It was something she wouldn’t even dare dismantle.

So if she wanted to understand the principles, she could only draw inspiration from Su Ran’s research.

Watching Herta walk out the door, Su Ran scratched his head in confusion.

"Can’t she just switch to another puppet?

Why does she have to walk there herself? What’s the point?"

—

After many days of travel, Jade finally arrived at Herta Space Station.

She was anxious.

Inside the company, the evaluation of Genius Club No. 85 was extremely high.

They genuinely wanted to cooperate with him— even invite him to join the company.

Just the technology capable of moving a star was enough to make the company salivate.

Not to mention the technology that could directly contain an entire star system.

Such a genius was rated internally even higher than Herta herself.

Yet the problem was—

This genius never showed himself.

Only recently did the company finally learn what he looked like.

And as for his background—

Still nothing.

As if he had suddenly appeared in this world out of thin air.

"Ms. Jade? I didn’t expect it to be you!"

Asta looked at the person transporting the goods in surprise.

At the same time, she couldn’t help complaining internally—

Was the company really this idle?

Twice in a row, they had sent members of the Stonehearts from the Strategic Investment Department.

Last time it was Topaz.

This time it was Jade.

Couldn’t they find a more appropriate candidate?

"Long time no see, Miss Asta. Have you been well?" Jade smiled elegantly.

The two weren’t particularly close—after all, Asta was the child of a high-ranking company executive.

"I’ve been fine.

But the company actually entrusted you with receiving Mr. Su Ran?"

"The company rates him very highly.

Originally, they planned to send Aventurine, but..."

At this point, Jade looked troubled.

Based on the information sent back by Topaz, that genius had a rather... unique personality.

In theory, men understood men better.

Aventurine would’ve been more suitable.

Unfortunately—

The other party seemed to prefer beautiful women.

Which meant the task fell to her instead.

If it were Dragon Crystal instead—

The consequences might have been even worse than sending Aventurine.
