When a popular internet meme is spread and used as material for various works, carrying people's emotions, the original meaning of the meme itself actually becomes less important.
The most typical examples are Kun and Zhen, who have already become a kind of cultural gene. (T/N: ?)
What Bai Luan is most curious about now is, after bringing the hakimi meme into this world and then replicating some songs into it,
Will someone be able to create some of the well-known works from his previous life?
For example, if SpongeBob SquarePants were made in this world, would someone be able to create Patrick Stelle's monologue?
Isn't it quite interesting to experiment with such things?
The universe is so vast; there's nothing strange about something like this happening.
Therefore, slowly turning the people of this world into those who can understand his memes is still very important.
For no other reason, Bai Luan is simply curious if this can be achieved, and he finds it very amusing.
Bai Luan plans to continue creating some hakimi music.
Once they are made, if the Inspiration Shroom is interested, he can even let it cover them.
If the feedback is good, he'll create a dedicated account for the Inspiration Shroom.
Anyway, the Inspiration Shroom's greatest joy every day is chatting with people, or else it's wandering around the Space Station with Pepe, Chizuru, and Thousand Paper Cranes.
These four, when put together, are collectively known as the Space Station's Four Lucky Treasures.
As for what new titles they'll get if you add Woo-woo Bo and Osmanthus Cake Cat, that depends on the imagination of the Space Station Staff.
Hmm... the Space Station's peculiar creatures are steadily increasing. I wonder if new peculiar creatures will be added later.
After all this, Bai Luan finally had some free time for the first time in a while. He had already dealt with the genius, and there was nothing he wanted to update on the three accounts for now.
Hmm... what should I do next?
I should go see Herta.
Bai Luan entered the Little Black Room.
Sometimes, when he had nothing to do, he would go into the Little Black Room, not for anything else, but simply to keep Herta company.
Although time stops in the Little Black Room when he leaves, Herta can definitely tell at a glance how long he hasn't been there.
If he really didn't visit the Little Black Room to see Herta for a year or two, she would definitely react the moment he entered.
At that point, if he didn't have a good reason... it's better if that situation doesn't occur.
Bai Luan looked around. The Little Black Room still replicated his surroundings, and Herta was not far away, currently deciphering who knows what.
It was clear that Bai Luan wasn't the only one making progress in the Little Black Room; Herta was too.
During the time Bai Luan worked hard in the Little Black Room, Herta had also been confronting the system's power.
This is also why Bai Luan has always been clearly aware of the gap between himself and the genius.
Even now, Bai Luan still can't understand what Herta is currently researching about the system; unless Herta is willing to teach him, he can't understand it at all.
However, Bai Luan generally wouldn't ask proactively. Researching the system's power is much more difficult than the simulated universe.
Bai Luan walked over to Herta and watched her analyze whatever the system had given her.
Soon, he yawned because he couldn't understand it.
"Ms. Herta."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you ever get bored staying here all the time?"
Herta stopped her calculations, turned to Bai Luan, and asked,
"Why would you think I'd be bored here?"
"Because there are only two of us here."
Herta pointed to the system creation that was being analyzed and said,
"Are you perhaps ignoring his existence?"
"That's right! What about me? I'm asking you, am I a person?"
Regarding Bai Luan's system's statement, he retorted,
"You're not a person at all, you're a system, okay? Speaking of which, do you exist in human form?"
"Of course, my mentor often operates in human form."
"What about you?"
"I keep everything simple. I set myself so that whoever looks at me will see the form they like best."
"That's truly simple, crude, and effective."
"Most of the time it's like this, but I have to turn it off when I see my mentor. She says seeing another version of herself talking to her is too bizarre."
"I didn't realize your mentor was quite narcissistic..."
"She's very satisfied with her image. Apparently, she's been using it for a very, very long time."
Bai Luan's curiosity was piqued.
"Oh? What does she look like?"
"She..."
Before the system could even start, it was suddenly interrupted by Bai Luan's "Ow!" sound.
"I specifically stopped my experiment to chat with you, and you dare to leave this genius waiting?"
Herta withdrew the hand that had pinched Bai Luan, crossed her arms, and said,
"Finish talking with me first, then talk to him."
"Oh..."
Bai Luan rubbed the spot where he had just been pinched and asked,
"Where were we in our conversation? I think I asked if you were bored staying here."
"I ask you, if I were to lock you and the person you love in a room where you could live forever, and this room had endless toys, infinite space, constantly changing scenery, and you never had to worry about food or drink, would you feel bored?"
"Hiss... now that you put it that way, how come this Little Black Room suddenly feels incredibly tempting?"
"That's how this genius views the Little Black Room. So, do you know my answer now?"
"I understand."
"Good that you understand."
Herta waved her hand casually, signaling Bai Luan that he could leave, and continued to study the system creation.
He hadn't expected Herta to view the Little Black Room in that way; he truly hadn't thought of it before.
But on second thought, it certainly sounded like something Herta would say.
There wasn't a trace of anxiety about lacking social interaction in her eyes, only an interest in researching difficult problems.
Come to think of it, worrying about Herta experiencing mental exhaustion... he was being a bit overly concerned.
Bai Luan glanced at Herta, who was once again immersed in her experiment, and decided not to disturb her further.
He walked around the Little Black Room, maintained a Herta Puppet, and then began to flip through his Botanical Garden notebook.
He slowly turned from the first page onwards.
He sighed with emotion as he flipped.
He hadn't expected so much time to have passed in the blink of an eye.
Soon, Bai Luan's Botanical Garden notebook reached its last page.
"Today, I planted life on a planet."
It seemed a long time had passed since he planted the seeds; he wondered how things were over there.
He'd go take a look.
Bai Luan left the Little Black Room, returned to the Space Station, then took out his Anywhere Door and arrived at Hiberita.
Following his memory, he searched for the places where he had planted seeds, one by one.
Several spots showed no change.
Bai Luan squatted down, placed a palm close to the ground, then sent out a detection wave, which located the seeds.
The seeds themselves had no problems.
It seems they still needed a little more time to sprout.
He truly hoped they would grow faster.
Oh, right, can the Abundance's blessing be used for planting?
As this thought popped into Bai Luan's head, the power of Abundance within him began to surge.
The abundant life force, passing through his palm, entered the ground and made contact with the buried seeds.
Then the seeds began to grow rapidly, soon breaking through the ground and sprouting tender green shoots.
Bai Luan looked at the newly grown sprouts.
It would be a shame not to use this Abundance's blessing for planting.
