In a luxurious villa somewhere.
Asuna lay in bed, staring at the group chat on her phone, her face flushed slightly.
As the daughter of a major corporation, a true white and rich beauty, Asuna had been confessed to countless times, but she rejected them all.
She could always remain unmoved by other boys' confessions.
But why was she blushing at these words, which were like a joke, from the Boss, Luo Chen, in the group chat?
Asuna couldn't understand. She lay in bed, staring at the ceiling.
Boss Luo Chen must be joking…
Asuna held a pillow close to her chest, deceiving herself in her heart.
Uncontrollably, Luo Chen’s image appeared in her mind, making Asuna even redder!
………………………………
Naturally, Xiaomei had a similar internal journey.
She was a high school girl with almost perfect looks, a gentle personality, and exceptional intelligence. Every talent seemed to favor her; she was an impeccable beauty.
Xiaomei often received love letters, but she usually just threw them in the trash without giving them much thought.
After seeing Luo Chen’s message, Xiaomei’s face instantly flushed red. She quickly closed the group chat interface.
She had just made a casual comment, why was she included in this?
But recalling Luo Chen’s "all of you" statement, Xiaomei could only shake her head helplessly.
Although Boss Luo Chen was powerful, kind, and considerate,
He was the commander of a spaceship. He was even undeniably handsome. He was like a light novel protagonist.
But, as a modern-educated high school girl, she would definitely be against …
！！！？？
… she realized she didn’t seem to have any objection to the idea?
Thinking of herself possibly becoming one of Boss Luo Chen’s harem, Xiaomei was surprised to find that she had no negative emotions about it.
Remembering the handsome picture on Luo Chen’s profile page, Xiaomei discovered she seemed to have a hint of elation.
Oh no!
Xiaomei’s face instantly turned crimson.
She must have been seduced by Boss Luo Chen’s appearance…
Xiaomei buried her head in the blanket, trying to forget the image of Luo Chen in her mind, but the more she tried, the harder it was to forget.
I’m done for.
Xiaomei looked calmly at the floating, fantastical images appearing in her mind and said with a terrible feeling in her heart.
…………………………
Meanwhile
On the Space Battleship Seir
Luo Chen, the culprit behind the turmoil in the hearts of the girls in the group chat, was smiling as he closed the group chat.
He extracted the fuel he had received from the group chat and sent it to the Seir through the energy replacement system, increasing the Seir’s energy bar by a small notch.
Although it wasn’t much, it was definitely a no-cost deal, considering Luo Chen’s basically non-existent expenses.
Just then, Dr. Pate and Dr. Sean, who had gone back to rest, returned.
They both held identical items, like tickets.
"Commander Luo Chen, do you recognize this?"
Dr. Sean looked at the “ticket” in his hand and asked Luo Chen.
After all, in Sean’s view, it was Luo Chen who made them join the Genius Club, so this was the most suitable person to ask.
"I don’t know what this is either. We just went back to our hibernation chamber for a while, and suddenly found this on us."
Dr. Pate touched his forehead helplessly.
Luo Chen took the “ticket” that Dr. Sean offered.
After confirming that this was the item he remembered, Luo Chen said to the two:
“This is a strange object, it’s complicated to explain. To put it simply, you can think of it as a special kind of item.
It's a ticket to the gathering place of geniuses. With it, you can go and meet other geniuses of the Genius Club.
However, not everyone is there all the time. You might miss out on a chance.”
Sean nodded in understanding.
“So this is the ticket to the gathering place of geniuses? I thought as an organization composed of geniuses, they would at least have a communication channel.”
"Then, Commander Luo Chen, should we go?"
Dr. Pate asked in confusion.
Although they didn't know why Luo Chen made them join the Genius Club, both of them were very clear that Luo Chen must have done so for the benefit of the Seir.
Genius Club, as the name suggests, it's a gathering place for geniuses…
Maybe there are things useful for the Seir there.
Luo Chen pondered for a moment.
"You can go. Although the Genius Club is full of weirdos, crazies, and introverted freaks, if you happen to meet some friendly ones, try to make a deal with them.
I authorize you to trade some of the Seir’s technologies in exchange for technologies useful for the Seir.
This may require you to do more work, Dr. Sean.
Dr. Sean calmly waved his hand.
As a doctor equal to Dr. Pate in fame,
If Dr. Pate researches genes and spirits, then Dr. Pate specializes in machinery and technology.
Therefore, Luo Chen might know less about the Seir's existing technology than he does.
After all, Dr. Sean is a true tech giant.
Speaking of which, there are actually quite a few technologies in the Star Rail universe that the Seir could use.
Even though the Seir left Earth and went through several updates, even pouring all its energy into the Eternal Shield, able to block the Titan’s Hammer.
It's worth noting that the Titan’s Hammer can deflect the coordinates of high-dimensional universes. The Seir’s technological level was able to withstand one blow.
The Seir’s normal flight speed is 8×10^12 kilometers per hour, which translates to 7400 times the speed of light.
This is only the normal flight speed, without taking into account the instantaneous movement brought by the space-folding technology.
You can see how ridiculous the Seir’s tech tree is. This is no longer science fiction, it's magic.
However, what is even more ridiculous is that the Seir’s energy system, even after several iterations, still uses nuclear energy…
Yes, that’s right, nuclear energy…
It’s not an antimatter engine, nor a warp engine. It's simply a nuclear engine.
A spaceship powered by a nuclear power system that travels 7400 times the speed of light, and can fold space.
It sounds ridiculous, right?
But it's true.
So Luo Chen wanted Dr. Sean and Dr. Pate to try their luck in the Genius Club.
If they were lucky enough to get some technology, they could upgrade the ship. Compared to the Xianzhou, which is a planetary battle cruiser, the Seir is simply too small...
