After seeing Kong and his old lovers fooling around in their masterpieces – for some unknown reason, maybe he really needed to eat something to calm his nerves, Heita finally did not reject Ruan Mei’s suggestion and accepted the pastries she sent with her club voucher that she had hardly used.

The three geniuses unanimously decided not to watch the live broadcast, but to wait and study Sora’s various “feats” in the simulated universe through replays…

The main thing is that if they continue to see him doing this, the three of them will start to waver in their research. It would be better to wait until after the meeting and continue to doubt their lives where no one can see them.

The sweet taste of the kidney bean cake that spread into the mouth reminded her to maintain a healthy diet for a long time. The indulgent Heita experienced the pleasure that she should enjoy at her “current physical age” through the doll.

Unfortunately, the sugar was not actually absorbed by her body, so the pleasure lasted only a few seconds, and all that was left was emptiness.

Snail Gumm had long ago installed a mechanical organ on himself that could digest human food, and even the taste sensor was perfect, so he ate with such relish that he looked more like he was enjoying a dessert than Ruan Mei and Heita.

But just as they lowered their heads to eat a few bites of food, Kong and the girls were ejected from the simulated universe, standing in front of the holographic round table with a look of unsatisfied expression on their faces.

“Eh? Was it an incompatibility pop-up? Sorry, I’ll go check the error message now—”

Kurita thought something bad was going to happen – he put the cup down and hurried over to Sora.

Under Kong’s gaze, she had the illusion that she was not the genius who had regained youth, but a little girl being looked at by an elder. In addition, she misunderstood Kong’s unsatisfied look, and she thought it was a look of “caring for children”, which made her inexplicably feel much “younger” in her mentality.

“Hmm? There’s no incompatibility. We’ve cleared the level.”

Kong had no objection to them having a tea party outside. He had been actively looking for simulated opponents who had been blessed by different star gods in the “levels” set by Stephen. He had no time to care what they ate.

What disappointed him was that although Destruction gave him considerable power and sponsored him to “restart” the entire simulated universe’s ecology, most of the enemies Kong had to face were still Destruction’s pawns, including the BOSS at the end of the level, which was also a doomsday beast… This was like a flood flushing the Dragon King Temple.

It is estimated that when Simulated Doommon saw the Blessing of Destruction on Sora, he started attacking his boss’s birth point.

The first simulation process was short, which was related to the fact that the data of these enemies were directly imported from the space station records. The “categories and styles” of monsters were really scarce, which was regrettable. It was not as good as Hall Haiya’s choice when buying clothes in a clothing store.

“Ah? Cleared the level?”

But no matter what Kong thought, the remaining project leaders were still surprised by the speed.

They knew that Kong and his followers were very strong, but the difficulty of the battles in the simulated universe was artificially increased. It could be said that even ordinary pawns had the strength of tramplers after the third level.

Why does it still break when touched?

“We also brought out some local specialties.”

As if not noticing the condensation of the same type as the screw Gumm had on the top of the black tower, Sora handed her a “lottery ticket”.

“What is this? Galaxy Lotto? The ‘strange thing’ that Stephen imported…”

Heita held up the Lotto ticket and immediately understood the “value” of it – he used the puppet’s connection to verify the authenticity of the ticket with the development department of the Interstellar Peace Company.

“The encryption confirms that it is authentic. It is a lottery ticket with a winning amount of 1000 credits. But Ms. Heita, its prize has already been claimed. The database shows that it was bought by someone a year ago.”

The people from the Development Department wanted to get closer to the Black Tower by taking advantage of the incoming calls from the Black Tower, but the Black Tower directly cut off the synesthesia signal, highlighting that they were too lazy to talk nonsense.

She walked solemnly to the illustrated device that simulated the universe and resembled a think tank, clicked twice, and the fully automatic shelf took down the strange objects on display high up.

“Exactly the same.”

The black tower compared the two tickets – the precise puppet eyes confirmed all the details on them, and the empty one was consistent with the one on display, and it was not some low-quality 3D printed product.

The thing itself is not a rare thing – it is just Stephen’s bad taste, because it is the first lottery ticket he bought with his own pocket money, but the fact that it was brought into the material universe and has such a high level of refinement is of great significance.

Heita was once again amazed by the mysterious system that Kong had mentioned to him. Before, when he talked about “upgrading” an entire colonial fleet, Heita felt that it was a bit exaggerated. But after Kong placed the strange objects in the simulation in front of her, she understood that Kong was really trying to bring the things inside out, or bring the things outside in, which was much more advanced than studying star gods.

“The data of the simulated universe is very detailed. The first wonder materialized by the system is almost identical to the original one you imported. This is the first step from the digital universe to the miniature universe.”

Sora clapped his hands gently, “Congratulations, the simulated universe has proven its potential, and we had a lot of fun.”

“Just be happy.”

The puppet in the black tower actually blushed.

It is natural to receive praise from mediocre people, but the joy of receiving praise from friends who are also geniuses is far greater than eating sweets.

“Heita, I think what Mr. Kong meant is that the current simulated universe is not satisfactory and there is still a lot of room for improvement. He just said it in such a tactful way to prevent you from getting discouraged.”

ScrewGum whispered beside him.

“You are the only one who has high emotional intelligence. Why do you always like to boast about your high emotional intelligence with your mechanical brain? No matter how high the emotional intelligence is, it will all be reduced to zero with your additional explanation!”

Black Tower has never had the urge to hit ScrewGum with a hammer like he did today… Strangely enough, ScrewGum is even more “lively” than usual, and has a stronger sense of humor. Is this a change brought about by Dr. Kong?

Never mind, it’s all good stuff anyway.

“Let’s take the next test. I can’t wait!”

The rewards for the daily tasks have been obtained. Logically, Kong has no reason to continue to accompany Heita to make trouble, but he still wants to delay for a while – the main goal has been achieved, and there is a secondary goal, which is to not go back to sleep on the train, and wait until the next morning to escape the oppression of Eula and Holhaiya in a pitiful state of being almost exhausted and fainting.

Judging from their states, they seem a little tired from playing and probably don’t have the extra energy to think about that kind of thing.

“…”

When Heita heard that Kong was still trying to test, his happy little face suddenly fell.

“Well, Dr. Kong, we still need to debug and maintain the simulated universe… plus there is so much experimental data today that it takes us a long time to digest it. Do you want to test it another day?” She made an excuse shyly.

All it takes is a little speedrunning shock to go from a mad scientist who can’t wait to test her project to a teenage girl who doesn’t know what to do.

“Let me translate what Black Tower said into human language: You have speed-run the levels that Stephen and Black Tower have been designing for several months. She needs to import additional data to generate the levels, and is temporarily unable to meet the subsequent testing needs.”

“Ruan Mei!”

Black Tower, who was sabotaged again, almost turned into a disgruntled cat. He ignored his genius temperament and scratched her madly.

“Hehe, but it’s already so late. No matter how much we look forward to Dr. Kong providing data, we should let him go and rest.”

Ruan Mei turned to Kong’s female companions and said, “The night is still long. Heita, please don’t disturb other people’s happiness.”

“That’s right. Human dreams are extremely precious. We should not waste any opportunity to dream.”

Screw Gumu also said “understandingly”.

“Oh I see, now it’s time to say that line – ahem!”

Paimeng gave Ruan Mei a sweet smile, then turned around and pointed at Kong, whose face turned from green to black, and said, “Let’s explore the area ahead later!”

23. What? Thinking about me…

[It’s three hours earlier than expected. Host, next time you encounter a similar situation, you should suppress your urge to speed through as appropriate, so as to achieve the best delay effect.]

“Alas, I just didn’t expect that Black Tower and his team would only produce a half-finished product after working on it for so long. It’s not even enough for us to play with.”

On the way back, although Kong sighed, he gave up the idea of ​​ignoring Eula and Holhaiya.

They have come all the way here and participated in so many dangerous battles, but you don’t give them any benefits. Is this reasonable?

And to be honest, after being sealed for a year, Kong was almost suffering from skin hunger. Now he actually wanted to cuddle with his old lovers.

What he feared was that after he hugged her, a conflict would arise between Youla and Holhaiya for the center position, which would lead to him being in trouble. Similar things had happened before, and they happened only after he had agreed to break up with his ex…

He began to think about how to satisfy Eula and Holhaiya without making any substantial progress with him.

This overly “modern” relationship between men and women…will affect her own reputation, but considering Ji Zi’s previous attitude, she probably won’t mind how they make a fuss in her private space.

How to persuade Eula and Holhaiya not to fight, and if he became a shared bicycle, would they be willing to be served in order of priority… These were all difficult for Kong Tiancai’s brain to figure out. He could only think of some ways to save his life, but no solutions.

If it’s really not possible, it’s not impossible to help them both relax at the same time, but this involves the issue of how to distribute his parts. Don’t underestimate women’s desire to conquer. Sometimes this desire is stronger than men’s – drawing lots? Rock-paper-scissors? That’s too childish, and their dynamic vision and muscle reaction are too strong to determine the winner in the ordinary way. At this level, there is no such thing as “random” control over the body.

The more he thought about it, the more distorted Kong’s expression became. He seemed to have seen himself being tied up by Eula and hung on the ceiling, and then being whipped wildly by Holhaya’s tail.

“Um, have you two…thought about how to sleep when you get back?”

Unable to endure the despair of gradually perishing in silence, Kong had no choice but to discuss with them in a private channel, thinking that if he stuck his head out, he would get hurt too, so he might as well get it over with quickly.

“Heh, I knew you couldn’t decide who to accompany first.” Eula sneered, but for some reason there was a sense of complacency in her tone.

“Do you really think we don’t know about your asking Pam for an extra bed? Jizi told us everything. Girls are very well-informed.”

Without questioning whether it was reasonable for Eura to classify herself as a “girl”, Kong smiled awkwardly, thinking that he would have to be on guard against Himeko snitching in the future.

Although he did not deliberately cover it up, he hoped that the transmission of some information could be slower, so that his female companions would not see through his underwear as soon as he had made the arrangements.

“Are you so afraid that we will ask you to accompany only one person?” Seeing how scared Kong was, Eula’s originally angry and amused expression gradually turned into heartache.

Although from a woman’s perspective, Kong is a bit of a bastard, but it should be said that he did set the rules in advance, and he traveled through time only after they confirmed their breakup. From the perspective of aftermath and responsibility, he did nothing wrong. If you have to say it, they are the ones who broke the rules by chasing him here and refusing to let go.

“It’s normal to have a competitive spirit. I can’t use the ‘Shadow Clone Technique’ in my current situation.” Kong scratched his head: “After thinking about it, the only way for you to get equal attention is to cut me in half…”

“You’re talking as if we’re unreasonable… Don’t worry. We’ve already made a bet. Whoever wins by the total number of kills today will have priority.”

Hol Haiya said calmly, “I admit defeat. Bingliangliang killed 12 more than me. It seems that I still have room for improvement. I will give in for now. However, Doctor, after you take care of her, remember to take a shower before coming to my place.”

“Ah, ah??”

Kong never expected that the two would compete for the first place in such a bloody yet dramatic way, which left him at a loss as to how to react.

“Why, are you thinking of shooting with both hands?”

“No way, absolutely impossible.”

Kong waved his hands repeatedly:

“Phew, that’s great…thank you for understanding.”

He almost bowed to Eula and Holhaiya. Seeing Kong’s incompetent appearance, Paimon crossed his arms and looked very subtle:

“I didn’t expect you to have so many concerns. Why didn’t you consider this day would come when you were dating her?”

“Paimon, people’s minds are fickle, they change over time, and they will regret. Let me give you a simple example—”

Sora continued to sigh, making excuses for himself and telling the girls: “When Ningguang and I broke up, it was very peaceful. We also agreed that it might be difficult for me to return to Liyue to see her. She also gave me a breakup fee. But when Inazuma and Linghua got together, she started writing to me frequently and even asked Beidou and Yelan to come and test my situation. What should I do? I obviously handled emotional issues strictly according to my bottom line, but she didn’t recognize it.”

This made Eula and Holhaiya look at each other in bewilderment…

Yes, I regret it… I regret that I let go too easily, I regret that I couldn’t hold back at the beginning, which led to me feeling uneasy without him, and I lacked interest in any good man I met, and I couldn’t live without him——

Kong’s distressed look aroused the maternal instinct in their hearts, or, one could say, the rare “compassion”.

“You think too horrible of us.”

Eula snorted, her nose turned up high. This classic move made Kong feel as if he had returned to the day when he first met her two years ago.

“…I won’t force you to make a choice…It’s not unacceptable as it is now.”

“You are really open-minded and cool. I really want to kill all the other women around the doctor.”

Holhaiya’s remarks were even more frightening. She was not targeting Eula, but everyone who had had a relationship with Kong.

“But as you said, maintaining the current situation is also good for the Doctor. There’s no point in me being dissatisfied… At least the Doctor doesn’t have as many female operators around him as before, hehe~”

“When he was in Rhodes Island, how many operators did he change around him every day?”
