vI'm a cornerstone, I'm here to kidnap the robin

Ms. Jade, can I quit this job? I really can't take care of this guy Topa.

When she was acting opposite the Universal Singer before, I thought she had finally come to her senses, but it turned out that only six of her seven senses were awakened.

"Why, selling yourself to me is so unfair to you, Mr. Jeremy?"

A gentle voice with a hint of resentment reached the ears of the three people. The Universal Singer with a halo on his head had come to them not far away without them knowing when, and was silently watching the interaction between Jeramy and Topa.

Looking at the two of them, arm in arm, and occasionally patting each other's bodies teasingly, a hint of displeasure flashed in the robin's eyes.

Although he didn't take Miss Toppa seriously, even the robin had to admit that their relationship was too close.

Now they dare to put their arms around each other's shoulders, touch each other's knees and pinch each other's lower backs. If they continue to maintain this relationship for another two years, even Robin dare not imagine what will happen in the future.

However, although he was unhappy, the robin knew that now was not the time to dwell on such matters.

With the recasting of the Guardian completed, the battle plan against the Zerg will soon enter the next stage, and accordingly, her unique plan will also officially begin.

But before that, we need to get rid of those two troublesome light bulbs.

A meaningful look swept over Topa and Gold Dust, and the robin smiled and greeted Jeramy.

"Please follow me, Mr. Jeremy. The patronus you requested has been recast. Without further ado, let's move on to the next phase of the battle plan. Maintaining the blockade of Liumeng Reef at all times will put a lot of pressure on Zhou Liu and his brother."

"How are things going with Miss Saturday and Sunday?"

When mentioning the Oak family head who used the power of the command to block the entire Liumeng Reef, Jeremy was rarely worried about his friend.

Almost a week has passed since the Liumeng Reef incident, and the Harmonious Music Ceremony has been postponed for a week.

Whether it is external pressure or internal family pressure, or even the burden on the body caused by using the power obtained from the séance, it is a considerable drain on Sunday.

He didn't want the pressure of reality to crush his friend, who had some deviations in his ideas but was still like-minded, before his ambitions were realized.

It was precisely because of this concern that he was invited on Sunday to back up that grand dream.

"Don't worry, my brother is fine. Even if one more person survives, it won't be a problem. Those geniuses you asked Star Train to invite over here seem very interested in the Patronus design you provided."

When mentioning the geniuses invited by Mr. Jeremy through Miss Xing, even Robin couldn't help but show a strange expression.

Although the dreamer had told her in the past that the Starry Sky Train had a wide network of contacts, this was the first time that Robin experienced firsthand just how wide the so-called network of contacts was.

The unknown gray-haired guest had managed to invite two geniuses who might not have been invited once in the past ten years. Although he had the help of Chadwick's souvenirs, and one of them was a puppet, it was still evident.

But what made the robin uneasy was that Mr. Jeramy seemed to have also entered the sight of those genius eccentrics.

"Mr. Jeramy, the king of Screw Star, Mr. Screw Gum of the Genius Club wants to speak with you privately."

ps: I regret playing for one more day.

Volume 111: Ruan Mei's Invitation

Following the guidance of the robin, Jeremy wandered around the absurdly large manor. Just when the spider silk used to mark the way was almost tangled, the group finally arrived in front of an underground laboratory.

"I never thought the Oak family would build such an important and dangerous laboratory in their own backyard. Aren't they afraid of an accident that could blow up their backyard?"

Looking at the laboratory in front of him, which was different from the quiet and fresh environment around it and exuded an atmosphere of danger and precision, even Topa couldn't help but sigh.

Even a company that upholds faith would not place a laboratory in Pierpoint where high-risk accidents could occur at any time, for fear that its own nest would be destroyed one day by accident.

But this concern does not seem to exist among Pinocchio, who share the same faith.

"Miss Toppa, you're worrying too much. At Pinocchio, almost all preliminary experiments are first conducted in a dream. Only after all dangerous factors are eliminated and it is confirmed that the process can be perfectly replicated will it be put into practice in reality. Accidents are inevitable, but they are simply transformed into illusory dreams."

In response to Topa's sigh, the robin just smiled slightly, and then cast a serious look at Jeremy.

"So, Mr. Jeremy, this manor is actually very safe. You don't have to worry about living here."

How did the topic get to this point?

Listening to the robin's somewhat incoherent explanation, even Jeremy didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Then I can rest assured?

It felt like after saying this, he would never be able to return to Pierpoint in his lifetime.

It doesn't matter if there are hidden dangers, I will protect you, Miss Robin?

It seems that the consequences of saying this will be even more serious.

Fortunately, this dilemma did not bother Jeremy for too long. His best friend, whom he could always trust, helped him out again at the critical moment.

"Ugh... Screw Gum, Black Tower, just let me drive for a while. Jeramy's not here anyway."

A cheerful and energetic voice emanated from the laboratory. Even the soundproof walls could not completely block the disconcerting and lively voice.

"How could anyone possibly refuse such a handsome mecha? If I can only look at it but not drive it, then I'm going to be envious to death, right?"

"No, this isn't a space station. Behave yourself... And even if I agreed, you can't open it. This thing's power system is specially configured. Without that thing called insect crystal, these two big guys will just be looking at the handsome iron coffin..."

The unintentional plea and the helpless refusal came out at the same time, giving Jeremy the opportunity to change the subject.

Although he didn't understand why the star core spirit was in such a place, it didn't stop Jeramy from using it as an excuse to change the subject.

"Ms. Mockingbird, why is Xing in…"

"I can't help it. After that guy knew you were building a mecha, he insisted on coming over. And those geniuses also agreed. Even though I'm the owner of this place, it's hard to refuse."

Mentioning the unknown gray-haired guest, Robin couldn't help but sigh again at the Starry Sky Train's extensive network of contacts.

Unfortunately, Jeramy didn't really care why the Star Core Spirit was here. He just wanted to find an excuse to get rid of a topic that would be wrong no matter how he answered it, and at the same time, seize the first right to use the Guardian after it was recast.

"Anyway, let's go in first and don't make those geniuses wait anxiously."

Leading Jeremy and his group, Robin used his authority to open the identification door of the underground laboratory. After passing through a series of doors that were both technologically advanced and heavy, an underground space with a skylight, which was so spacious and a little scary, appeared in front of everyone.

On both sides of the underground space, there are two huge mechas reflecting metallic luster, one shaped like a spider and the other like a rhinoceros beetle.

The gray-haired star core elf with bright golden pupils was currently sitting on the rhinoceros beetle's horn, shaking her slender legs that might have made a certain masked fool wonder whether the star core elf and she were the same species, looking reluctant to leave.

"Please, Black Tower, help me just this once. If you can let me drive this mecha as I wish, I will test any version of the simulated universe in the future."

"Don't give me that. Leaving a backdoor is against my scientific ethics. But you can ask Screw-Gum. He's indeed a little ahead of me in the field of mechanics... a little bit."

The petite brown-haired girl checked the adjustment data about the Patronus and rejected the Star Core Spirit's request without hesitation.

In terms of tone and appearance, she is more like a young girl with a sharp tongue, but anyone who has heard of her deeds knows that this genius has lived for countless Amber Ages.

The 83rd seat of the Genius Club, Black Tower, is also a world-renowned scientific research institution and the owner of the Black Tower Space Station.

Although apart from the name, this genius did not contribute even a bit to the construction and management of the space station.

As for the professional level of that space station... Jeramy had visited there with Ms. Emerald. Rather than a scientific research institution, he would rather call it a biodiversity collection observation center.

However, this genius did not seem to come in person. The girl's distinct knuckles proved that the one who came here was just a puppet.

"Screw Gum..."

His plea was ruthlessly rejected by the Black Tower, so the Star Core Spirit had no choice but to turn to the mechanical noble on the other side for help.

"I suggest you seek Mr. Jeramy's advice."

The intelligent machine dressed in a suit and tuxedo wore glasses that were more decorative than practical. The well-mannered mechanical noble looked at Xing sitting on the horn of the mecha and gave the most rational thinking.

"Reason: Mr. Jeramy has arrived."

As soon as Screw Gum finished speaking, the captivating figure of the Singer of the Universe appeared in front of the Star Core Spirit.

Looking at the gray-haired girl who was sitting on the horn carelessly, not seeming to worry at all about falling, Jeremy felt a surge of blood rushing to his head, and he immediately wanted to pull down this fearless star core spirit.

This was not a dream, but a reality that strictly followed the laws of physics. If the Star Core Spirit fell from that height and accidentally got injured, Jeremy felt that he might... might make a joke of this for a whole year.

"Jerami, this is my lifelong request..."

Seeing that the real owner had finally arrived, Xing immediately used his hands and feet to climb down from the body of the God Rhinoceros Beetle, rushed to Jeremy at a speed so fast that even the robin could not stop him, grabbed his hand and half squatted down.

With her knees pressed against Jeremy's calves, Xing blinked her golden eyes, trying to look pitiful.

"Please, please let me drive a mecha for the rest of my life. I can do anything."

"You really only think about yourself. How can you easily say something like this in your life?"

Looking at the star core spirit who was shamelessly grabbing his wrist, Jeremy began to reflect for the first time that even if they were best friends, they should pay attention to social distance from time to time.

It didn't matter before, but now Jeremy always has a premonition that if he lets this situation continue, it won't be surprising if this star core spirit takes over his bed one day.

Will there be a day when I will have such concerns?

Sighing softly, Jeremy suddenly felt like he was getting old.

"Okay, stop playing tricks. I know you two are close friends, but this isn't the right time."

Looking at the shameless Star Core Spirit, Topa raised his brows. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should feel sympathy for this unknown guest who had a similar position to himself, or should he be wary that even his best friend, who was close to him, was being snatched away by someone else these days.

However, Topa also knew that this was not the time to allow Jeremy to contact his personal relationships. In front of several geniuses, as members of the company, they still had to pay attention to some appearance issues.

Moreover, since the patronus that Jeremy mentioned has been recast, it means... he is going to do something very dangerous again, right, and he won't take me with him.

This emotion made Topa feel very irritated. Even though she knew very well that Jeremy didn't let her intervene in order to protect herself in a battle where even he couldn't guarantee that he would escape unscathed, the feeling of being abandoned still made her feel unwilling to accept it as she had been through life and death with Jeremy countless times.

The only thing that could comfort Topa was probably that the two singing ladies, who were perhaps even more helpless than he was, could not accompany Jeremy either.

A feeling similar to "although I lost, the opponent didn't win either" filled his heart, making Topa, who never liked to win in the business world by despicable means, feel complicated.

"Indeed, could you please give us a chance to speak with Mr. Jeramy alone? This time, in addition to responding to Star Express's request and Chadwick's promise, we came to Pinocchio with an invitation from another genius, as well as my personal suggestions for this invitation."

A gentle and generous voice came from the vocal organ of the intelligent machine, and Screwgum stretched out his palm, a little tough but not without courtesy.

"Of course, Miss Xing can stay. She is a very important witness for my proposal."

"I have a bad feeling."

Looking at the geniuses who seemed to have planned it in advance, a suspicious expression suddenly appeared on the Star Core Spirit's originally lively face.

I always feel that the reason Black Tower and Screw Gumu agreed to my invitation and came to Pinoconi was not entirely because of my face.

It turns out that my connections aren't that great?

Suddenly realizing this cruel reality, Xing felt a sense of frustration.

However, the frustration of the Star Core Spirit had nothing to do with others. Although some of them wondered when Jeramy had such a grand ceremony that even a genius could ask two other geniuses to invite him, others still chose to respect the geniuses' requests.

It was not until Robin and Toppa had left the vast underground space and confirmed that there were only two newly recast Guardians built here besides them that Screwgum slowly spoke.

Obviously, Screw Gum was the one who took the lead in this private commission that was beyond the expectations of the Star Core Spirit.

"It's our first meeting, Mr. Jeramy. If our acquaintance is like the first ripple in the ocean of memory, I hope our ensuing conversation won't stir up waves that would cause displeasure on either side."

Although polite, ScrewGum's words made Jeramy and Xing alert.

Especially Xing, she has known Screw Gumu for some time. Although he is the king of Screw Star, he has always presented himself as a generous scholar.

This was the first time she had heard something that started with something like a warning.

However, compared to the transparency and perfection of Screw Gum, Black Tower looks much more impatient.

"Come on, stop the riddles, Screw-Gum. If you need any more words, let me explain."

The straightforward Black Tower interrupted the conversation between ScrewGum and Jeramy somewhat rudely and got straight to the point.

"Jerami, have you heard of... Ruan Mei?"

Ruan Mei?

When Xing heard the name, before Jeremy could react, he was stunned.

Not long ago, she accidentally fell into the trap of that genius. Although the matter ended successfully in the end, she also gained a valuable experience of facing a Lingshi-level true stinging insect alone.

Wait, isn't Ruan Mei researching insects recently? Then is she looking for Jeremy because...

"Ruan Mei, the 81st seat in the Genius Club, is also an expert in the field of life research. I've naturally heard of her name."

Jeremy nodded. Although they had already established a cooperative relationship with the Knowledge Society, the Genius Club, which was their replacement, was also a target that the company was trying to win over in the long term.

It’s a pity that most of those geniuses with different personalities are not very interested in the company.

"That's good to hear. Basically, that person got your information from somewhere and hopes you can support her in conducting some... research in the field of life. However, she seems to have run into some urgent matters recently. It seems she picked someone up, so she's asking me and ScrewGum to do this job."

The outspoken genius explained the whole story in a few words, and also made Jeremy roughly understand the meaning of what Screwgum said before.

After all, doesn't Jeremy know what's in him that's worth studying in the biological field?

"So, the support that Ruan Mei mentioned couldn't possibly mean she wanted me to serve as experimental material."

"It's just a guess. Although Ms. Ruan Mei didn't say it explicitly, based on my inference, the possibility is as high as 90%."

ScrewGum nodded, confirming Jeramy's guess.

"I also have a suggestion for you, Mr. Jeramy... Don't accept Ms. Ruan Mei's invitation. In the pursuit of knowledge, a genius is more dangerous than a madman."
