Jiang Lin:!??
Bronya, Seele, Gepard:?!!
The sudden turn of events left Jiang Lin and Gepard both confused and surprised.
Jiang Lin fell into deep thought... Was there a problem with the data I researched?
Or was the creation engine influenced by Preservation after it developed consciousness?
At this point, Jiang Lin leaned more towards the latter... but he still opened his mouth and asked directly:
"What are you raving about?"
After a while, the creation engine was no longer agitated.
He lowered his head, a hint of embarrassment in his deep voice.
"I apologize, sir. I just... shouted it out uncontrollably."
Jiang Lin pondered for a moment, then added a sentence to the experimental data:
"Mechanical lifeforms holding a 'spark' will also be influenced by a Path, and it is presumed they can normally step onto a Path."
After organizing the experimental data, Jiang Lin began to consider the issue of mass production... and left the venue to Bronya and the others.
For Jiang Lin, mass production shouldn't be a problem, but he intended to keep the authority to bestow life firmly in his own hands.
Whether or not to bestow a 'spark' upon machine life would be up to him.
After all, Jiang Lin didn't want the intelligent mechanical life of this universe to be devalued due to the origin of the 'spark'.
He didn't want people to treat intelligent machines as tools that could be manufactured and used at will.
Jiang Lin opened a few anchor points casually and then planned to leave.
After all, there was nothing on this little ice planet that interested him for the time being.
Just then, Star sent Jiang Lin another video... "Star: Look at this."
Jiang Lin was a little puzzled but still clicked to watch.
In the footage, with the Space Station as a backdrop, a photo of Ms. Herta's puppet was displayed.
The creator thoughtfully pixelated her face, but it was useless; anyone who had seen Ms. Herta could recognize who it was.
Then a standard female voice came out.
"Ms. Herta Solo Fan Express News — Good evening, fellow haters! We interrupt this broadcast with breaking news."
"Recently, the great Ms. Herta, #83 of the Genius Society, went missing after being attacked at the Space Station."
"As of now, no organization has claimed responsibility for this incident."
Finally, photos of the interview process were shown.
The standard female voice continued.
"Large numbers of haters have therefore issued strong protests and severe condemnations regarding the management's oversight and inaction."
"Jiang Lin:? Why are you showing me this?"
"Star: Didn't you say before you left that there was nothing at the Space Station that could threaten me? How did even Ms. Herta..."
"Jiang Lin: It's just a puppet that's gone missing. Ms. Herta herself probably doesn't even care."
"Star: Really? Then I'll go check her office."
Afterward, Jiang Lin thought for a moment and forwarded the video to Ms. Herta.
Then he put away his phone, thought for a bit, and decided to go to Xianzhou Loufu.
After all, the anchor points there hadn't been opened yet.
Just as he was setting off, Jing Yuan from Loufu coincidentally sent him a message.
It was about the follow-up on the revival pill from the Xianzhou Alliance.
"Jing Yuan: Mr. Jiang Lin, regarding the revival pill, the Alliance has made a decision."
"Jing Yuan: Annually, the Alliance will transfer 50% of the commercial value generated by the revival pill to your account in the form of credit points."
"Jing Yuan: However, in the initial stage, it will be prioritized for the Cloud Knights and public officials in various departments, so the value generated in the early stages might be a bit less."
"Jiang Lin: Understood."
Jiang Lin did some quick calculations; this amount of money was definitely not a small sum.
After all, he had a rough idea of the population of the Xianzhou Alliance, even if he didn't know the exact numbers.
Not long after, Star sent him another message.
"Star: I got ambushed!"
"Jiang Lin: Are your kidneys still there?"
"Star:?"
"Star: Quickly teach me how to deal with the plaster-headed wack."
"Jiang Lin: Plaster-headed wack? Oh, you mean him. I think he means you no harm."
"Star: Do you want to come back to the Space Station and join the fun?"
"Jiang Lin: No, I don't have time."
----
Soon after, Jiang Lin returned to Xianzhou Loufu.
And coincidentally, the live stream reopened at this time.
"Sparkle: I'm first this time."
"Elio: You stay out of my way, I'm already annoyed enough at work."
"Star: @Ms. Herta, your money bag just caught fire, are you sure you don't want to come back and see?"
"Ms. Herta: What caught fire?"
"Asta: I caught fire?!!"
"Peppy: Woof?"
"Duke Inferno: As expected of a place that even the Lord's Legion couldn't purify upon arrival, you indeed have some abilities, but everything will eventually be destroyed."
"Dr. Ratio: Heh, a defeated dog that fled in disarray dares to bark here."
"Duke Inferno: Hmph, I'll let you be arrogant for a moment. Next time, I will personally descend and let the flames of destruction purify the Space Station's defiled aura."
"Aventurine: Ho~ your ability to curse is growing, Professor."
"Dr. Ratio: Do your own job, gambler."
"Aventurine: Alright, I'm already planning to depart, Professor, when will you arrive?"
"Sunday: The Symphony of Harmony is about to commence. Penacony sincerely invites all of you to attend."
"Jing Yuan: The Alliance may not be able to arrive on time due to certain reasons."
"Sparkle: @Elio, is there any fun this time?"
"Elio: No fun, but the scene is big enough."
"Boot Hill: Damn it, do any of you know that cutie Acheron?"
"Acheron: ..."
"Boot Hill: Good, good, you little love-starved cutie, you finally showed your face. Find a spot and let me love you to death with one shot."
"March 7th: If I remember correctly, the Astral Express's next stop is Penacony, right?"
"Qingque: Ah~ Penacony, I really want to go too."
"Fu Xuan: @Qingque, this is a good age for you to strive. Don't always think about going out to play."
"Elio: I'm ready, I'm ready."
At this moment, the Stellaron Hunters
"Kafka, is Elio's script really still necessary? It's already such a mess."
Silver Wolf chewed gum, resting her chin on her hands, looking bored at the urban beauty opposite her.
"Don't worry, Elio not calling a halt means we can continue. There must be a reason for him to do this."
Kafka smiled, reassuring her companion.
"Alright, by the way, when are Firefly and the others coming back?"
Silver Wolf was about to continue playing her game when she suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Hmm, Firefly is already prepared. As long as you're ready, she can directly enter Penacony."
"Alright..."
Meanwhile, the live stream also started showing footage.
"【Now Playing: Penacony Grand Theater Stabbing Incident.】"
