Thanks to the joint efforts of Bai Luan and Screwllum, the Divergent Universes was quickly deployed onto the The Radiant Feldspar.
Looking at the Divergent Universes before him, which emitted a faint glow and whose data streams slowly circulated like Star rails, Bai Luan clapped his hands in satisfaction, a sense of accomplishment welling up within him.
The simulated universe, which was so difficult back then, was now something he could develop with ease.
『You could say you gained experience from being instantly blown up』
...Get lost.
Bai Luan looked at Screwllum beside him and asked:
"Next, we need to contact our chief tester. Will you contact Stelle, or should I?"
"Suggestion: It is more suitable for you to contact her. I will be responsible for explaining the basic operational mechanism, core testing objectives, and precautions of the Divergent Universes to her."
"Alright."
Bai Luan nodded, pulled out his phone from his pocket, and sent a message to Stelle.
Bai Luan: The Divergent Universes deployment is complete.
Bai Luan: Ready to test?
Stelle: On my way!
Stelle: What's the difference between this Divergent Universes and the Simulated Universe?
Bai Luan: Screwllum will explain it clearly to you.
Stelle: Understood. I'll be right there.
Not long after Bai Luan sent the message, Stelle running over, ready to test the Divergent Universes.
The task of introducing the Divergent Universes to Stelle was taken up by Screwllum, so while Screwllum was explaining the Divergent Universes to Stelle, Bai Luan retreated to the side to slack off.
Some time had passed since the Bartending Event, and the tasks that needed to be done on Penacony were almost complete.
He had previously promised Sushang that he would visit the Xianzhou, so he certainly couldn't disappear without a trace like a company agent who received a resume.
Hmm, he felt that if he didn't contact Guinaifen soon, their chat window would start collecting cobwebs.
Inside, there was also Guinaifen, who had been waiting so long her flowers were about to wilt, plus Sushang, who was facing a reputation crisis.
Bai Luan: Are you there?
Guinaifen: I am, I am!
Bai Luan: Do you feel like your flowers are about to wilt from waiting?
This line from Bai Luan completely stumped Guinaifen, and she scratched her head.
Is the King of Universal Memes really that direct?
Wait! No, no, I can't think that!
It was fine to refer to Bai Luan that way internally, but saying it out loud would be extremely rude.
Phew, that was close. Luckily, she didn't let that nickname slip out.
Guinaifen understood the principle that trouble comes from the mouth; if the other party took offense, her life might face an unprecedented crisis.
Well... in reality, Guinaifen's worries were completely unnecessary.
If Bai Luan heard that title, he would simply appropriate it and compliment Guinaifen on her creativity.
After all, she was speaking the truth.
Guinaifen: No, no! I know Senior was busy doing important things!
Guinaifen: Sushang and I went to see Wall-E together!
Guinaifen: It was su—per—go—od!
Guinaifen: Sushang cried her eyes out when she saw the scene where wall-e got crushed!
Guinaifen: I absolutely love the pairing! It was the first time I'd seen such a pure and romantic love story between Automatons on the big screen!
Guinaifen: The scene where they danced together in space was incredibly romantic!
Guinaifen instantly opened up the floodgates, switching to her most familiar streaming recommendation mode, and began analyzing to Bai Luan the points she found shippable about 2 Automatons.
EVE's Contrast Moe evident everywhere, Wall-E's clumsy but sincere love, and the very affectionate way they interacted.'
She even recommended the movie to Huohuo.
Bai Luan read this and nodded repeatedly.
She had truly watched the movie seriously, absorbed it, and felt the emotional core the film intended to convey.
She was a good audience member.
Guinaifen: Ah!
Guinaifen: Did I accidentally say too much?
Guinaifen felt a little annoyed.
She had accidentally entered her streaming mode and couldn't control herself.
Guinaifen actually didn't know much about Bai Luan; in person, she had only seen the back of Bai Luan walking away after discarding a milk tea.
Online, they had only chatted briefly; apart from that, all her knowledge of Bai Luan was based entirely on the StarNet.
Sharing so many movie thoughts all at once with a Senior she might not be very familiar with... was that too presumptuous? Would it scare him off? Or make him think she lacked propriety and was overly enthusiastic?
Oh dear! Seriously! Why can't I control this eloquent mouth of mine!
Soon, Bai Luan replied.
Bai Luan: Shippable.
Bai Luan: Good taste.
Seeing this approachable reply, Guinaifen instantly felt a strong sense of relief.
Following that, the joy of finding a fellow enthusiast blossomed in Guinaifen's heart!
This person!
He's cool!
Bro understands my ship!
Heavens, a person of this caliber actually has common topics to discuss with her!
What a surprise!
Bai Luan: I heard that the Xianzhou is going to hold the Martial Arts Exhibition Ceremony soon.
Bai Luan: I plan to go join the fun then.
Bai Luan: Miss Guinaifen, are you interested in a collaborative post?
Guinaifen: Yes!
Guinaifen: Of course, I am!
Guinaifen: I'm in!
Bai Luan: Then it's settled.
Bai Luan: I should be going with Stelle when the time comes.
Guinaifen: Is she there with you?
Bai Luan: Yep, right here.
Just then, Screwllum's explanation came to a close, and Stelle seemed to have something she needed from Bai Luan, so she walked over.
Seeing this, Bai Luan picked up his phone, adjusted it to an appropriate distance for a joint photo, and said to the approaching Stelle:
"Stelle, look at the camera, smile."
Stelle was slightly startled. Although she didn't know why Bai Luan wanted a photo, her time spent with March 7th made her react extremely quickly to photo commands.
Hmph, hmph. After taking March 7th's ugly photos, she specifically trained herself in the skill of light-speed expression changes for pictures, just to prevent her from retaliating!
She instantly activated her joint-photo business mode and smiled for the camera, taking a picture.
Bai Luan sent the joint photo to Guinaifen to prove that his words were true.
The moment Guinaifen saw Stelle appear in the photo, she immediately felt completely reassured.
Anyone who can get along with Stelle,
How bad could they be?
Guinaifen: !
Guinaifen: I feel so much safer seeing a familiar face!
Guinaifen: I'm going to tell Huohuo and the others this good news!
Guinaifen: I'll be your Xianzhou tour guide then!
Guinaifen: I guarantee you'll eat well, play well, and drink well!
Stelle, meanwhile, curiously leaned over, wanting to look at Bai Luan's phone, but instead of looking directly, she first asked:
"Can I look, Uncle?"
"Asking that was redundant."
Bai Luan shared his phone screen, and Stelle saw the chat history between Guinaifen and Bai Luan.
Stelle quickly skimmed through it, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Bai Luan:
"Uncle, are you going to the Xianzhou with me? To attend that Martial Arts Exhibition Ceremony?"
"What's wrong?"
Bai Luan put away his phone.
"Don't want to come along?"
"Of course not, Uncle."
Stelle was really hoping Bai Luan would go. Every time Uncle took her out, she was never bored.
She was more than happy to have Uncle accompany her.
"I couldn't be happier~"
Bai Luan smiled, then looked at Stelle and asked:
"What did you walk over to me for just now?"
"Oh, right, I almost forgot."
Stelle looked at Bai Luan, a standard, pleading smile mixed with cunning and expectation appearing on her face:
"Uncle!
I need a—
Divergent Universes Speedrun Guide!!!"
Good heavens, she's not even trying it herself this time, just coming straight to him for the guide?
She's really gotten smarter.
"Aren't you going to try clearing it yourself first?"
"Of course, I am."
Stelle nodded and said:
"Challenging myself is endless fun, after all. However..."
She changed her tone, her smile becoming even brighter.
"It's always more reassuring to have the guide in my pocket first. After all..."
Stelle crossed her arms and said with a hint of smugness:
"I might not use it, but I can't not have it. ＜(￣︶￣)＞"
