Collapse Simulator: Raging at the Imaginary Tree

"What's wrong? Who made you angry again?" Ling could only record the experimental data and then asked without turning back.

"Why did you leave the lab? Do you want to compete with me?" Mebius asked angrily.

He clearly said that they were the same, but now Ling left halfway. Isn't this an escape?

"So that's what it is..." Ling stopped recording data with a pen and turned to look at Mebius.

"I just feel that you might feel a little restrained being with me, and I... am the same." Ling explained.

"I never said that." Mebius narrowed his eyes.

"No, you misunderstood me." Ling shook his head.

"What I mean is that our tracks should be separate so that we can maximize our respective talents, understand?"

"Even if there is only one of us, we can still produce the Honkai disease serum at the same time, so the existence of the other person will actually be diluted." Ling tried to persuade Mebius.

But Mebius was a stubborn and willful man to the extreme, and always had been.

"That's none of my business! Ling, I'll give you one more chance, come back, otherwise it will be regarded as your declaration of war against me!" Mebius said coldly.

"I refuse. Double the research space, double the research materials. It's all paid for by the government anyway. It doesn't matter where they stay," Ling asked back.

"Your chance is gone. I hope you won't regret it." Mebius turned around and left without looking back.

Blanca glanced at Ling, then at Mebius.

"Actually...Dr. Mebius just..." Blanca seemed to want to say something.

"No need to explain, I know, but I still maintain my opinion." Ling stopped Blanca.

"She's always been so stubborn. Even if she really said she didn't want to be separated from me, I would still reject her for the same reason as before."

Overlapping tracks is a waste of each other's talents. The only correct decision is to separate.

It's just that Mebius is too paranoid, to the point of being pathological, and he can't accept just this.

Blanca didn't say anything more after hearing this and followed Mebius away.

"Liar... liar... saying we are all the same... is just a big liar!"

Mebius buried his head in the covers and pounded his fists on the bed.

"I will definitely beat you hard and destroy everything you have... Then you will know how important I am to you! Ling!"

Mebius began to study other things, while Ling continued to study the Honkai disease serum. He felt that this thing might be further optimized.

Being able to use one less patient is a success.

It's just that what Mebius was researching was a little... well, not so good.

Ling could often hear the roars of assassins and the sounds of gunfire coming from next door.

It has even become the norm in the Mobius laboratory.

This also made the Fire Moth keep a close eye on her, fearing that she might accidentally create something terrible and destroy the surroundings.

Half a year later, Ling finally completed the research on the Honkai energy serum. Although it could not be mass-produced, the required proportion was greatly reduced.

In addition to some important scientific researchers and leaders, some elite soldiers can also use this serum!

Mebius had no intention of studying this a long time ago because it had nothing to do with her direction.

When the first Honkai disease serum was created, the psychological problems left over from her childhood were already cured.

And now, what she still wants is to make "humanity" "evolve" again.

……

Chapter 268: Would you like to be my assistant?

Soon, both of them became top scientists in their respective fields.

The only difference is that one is close and the other is afraid.

In the eyes of the Fire Moth, Ling is a great scientist who saves the world and helps people, while Mebius is a dangerous scientist who takes an unconventional approach.

At least there won't be soldiers patrolling Ling's laboratory at all times.

It is true that the two men's contributions to the field of science are almost the same, but Ling's reputation within the Fire Moth is much better than Mebius's.

Although the two of them are considered to have "separated", in fact, they are not as hostile to each other as imagined. Instead, it feels more like they will never have any contact with each other again.

In the high-level meetings of the Fire Moth, the two of them even had the same opinions and acted in unison against the outside world.

But this is just superficial calm.

Ling knew very well that Mebius was just looking for an opportunity to defeat him in one fell swoop.

She is a dangerous serpent, and snakes...are best at lurking.

Time soon came to the second collapse, and a warrior named Alicia defeated it.

The Fire Moth also immediately authorized the Second Herrscher's corpse to Ling.

At present, Ling is the scientist they trust the most.

But...Mebius got in on the act.

Yes, she forcibly took the Second Herrscher's body without any approval and began to study it.

Ling didn't care about this, and the warrior named Alicia even came to apologize to Mebius in person...

"So, are you familiar with Mebius?" Ling looked at the girl in front of him puzzledly.

She doesn't look very old, but she was able to defeat the Herrscher of the Sky alone. It makes people very curious about how she did it.

"Oh, actually I just met Dr. Mebius not long ago." Alicia covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Then you probably don't understand. It's impossible to make Mebius bow her head. If you apologize on her behalf, she won't be happy. Instead, she'll try to make things difficult for you."

Ling shook the reagent in his hand, and through the green liquid, he could see the indifferent expression on the girl's face.

"Then Dr. Ling, are you familiar with Dr. Mebius? I've heard you have a special relationship!"

"What about childhood sweethearts? Two incredibly similar geniuses, separated by a disagreement..."

Alicia did not pay attention to Ling's warning, but instead started to find out some gossip about Ling.

"Oh, those, except for the last one, are actually all the same." Ling nodded.

"Didn't you break up because of differences in your ideas?" Alicia asked impatiently.

"Of course not. It's just that for the better development of both of us and for the future of mankind, separation is a good choice." Ling explained.

"Wow~! Dr. Ling is actually a scientist who cares about humanity? No wonder even with the Honkai energy serum, you still find ways to improve it. Hmm! What a great scientist." Alicia did not hesitate to praise.

"Let me correct your mistake. I don't care what happens to human beings in the end, but... forget it." Ling thought about it and didn't continue.

"Eh? Why don't you say anything? Please tell me, otherwise I may not be able to sleep at night!" Alicia pleaded with a bitter face.

This feeling of being stuck can really drive people crazy.

"You disturbed my experiment." Ling ordered him to leave without any hesitation.

After arguing with Alicia for a while, she finally gave up, but judging by her expression, she wouldn't give up easily.

It feels like I'm in big trouble.

Ling shook his head and continued with the experiment at hand.

By the time the Second Herrscher's body was brought to Ling, it had been dissected beyond recognition.

Fortunately, Mebius still had some conscience and at least did not destroy the material.

Of course, it could also be because she disdains to use such means to win the so-called competition.

Originally, the top management wanted to punish Mebius, but the person involved didn't care, so they couldn't say anything.

Time passed slowly. Ling did not do experiments all the time. Occasionally, when he had free time, he would go to Mu Continent to have academic exchanges with Einstein.

She is very knowledgeable, and although she can't help Ling much in his field, she can always give him a lot of inspiration.

While sharing the topic, Ling obtained some data about the "Armed Dolls".

Then, the next day, it was "borrowed" by Mebius.

After all, this is one of the most advanced technologies in Mu Continent, so Mebius is of course very interested.

It's just that she doesn't like dealing with people like Einstein who are too kind and rational.

And the other party would definitely be wary of her as a notorious scientist.

But Ling is different. He has an extremely good reputation in the Fire Moth and even in the world. He not only optimized the Honkai disease serum, but also created a special medicine that can be used by civilians.

Although it cannot cure the disease completely, it can prolong life and has much fewer side effects than the original medicine.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ling can almost be regarded as the contemporary Shennong.

It is naturally not a big burden to interact with such people.

Ling rarely responded to praise from the outside world.

Some people say that he is obsessed with experiments and disdains fame and fortune; some people say that he is actually just a puppet pushed out by Möbius. After all, he has never restricted any of Möbius's research, and even often gives the green light.

If Ling is really as kind as he appears, why doesn't he stop Mebius from conducting such dangerous experiments?

However, all these are just speculations from the outside world, and they have no substantial evidence.

Only Ling himself knows the actual situation.

He just guarded his own little piece of land and didn't even have an assistant.

Therefore, what was outside was all they could see.

Although the Fire Moth had selected several very outstanding people, they were all politely rejected by Ling.

This also made the Fire Moth a little puzzled. Why was Ling unwilling to find an assistant? As a top scientist, it was a bit ridiculous that he didn't have an assistant.

Or is it true, as the rumors say, that Ling is researching something unknown?

But this doubt was quickly dispelled.

At an academic seminar in Mu Continent, Ling personally invited a high school student to be his assistant.

She published a paper on quantum mechanics that successfully attracted Ling's interest.

Unfortunately, Mebius also discovered this newcomer with great potential.

At this time, Mei was trembling, not understanding why two extremely famous scientists were targeting her at the same time.

"Your name is Mei, right? I have read your paper. It is very valuable for research and some of the ideas in it are very novel. Do you mind if I ask you some questions?" Ling spoke first.

"Of course..." Mei took a deep breath. Facing the academic giant in front of her, she dared not relax at all.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm just a student here." Ling comforted.

"Um..."

Ling's approachable attitude made Mei relax a lot.

"First question, have you ever heard of my thesis? Or read my research report?" Mebius asked the question before Ling.

"Huh?" Mei was confused. Shouldn't Dr. Ling be the one asking the question?

"It's okay, you can answer her first." Ling generously gave the right to speak to Mebius.

Mebius snorted softly but said nothing.

May looked at Mebius's badge and swallowed.

"Of course I've read Dr. Möbius's paper, but there's still a lot I don't understand... Of course, I've also read Dr. Ling's, and the quantum field theory in it has been quite inspiring to me!"

Mei didn't want to offend either side and answered both, but this answer was obviously biased towards Ling, which naturally made Mebius a little unhappy.

"The second question is, what are your feelings about human experiments?" Ling nodded and asked his own question.

"Human...human experiments..." Mei looked at the people around her like a thief.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, she thought for a few seconds and gave her answer.

"If...if it's for the future of mankind...I think it's acceptable." Mei answered seriously.

"The third question is, will you choose to be the enemy of mankind for the future of mankind?" Mebius asked.

"Ah... eh?!!" Mei's mind was in a mess. She had never thought about this before.
