Rebirth Counterattack with Space

Watching Mu Pei leave with excitement, Lu Yun focused her thoughts and entered the castle’s Pharmacist Training Room.

The so-called Pharmacist Training Room was actually a high-tech projection classroom where the courses were all preset; as soon as activated, virtual instructors would systematically conduct training and assessments for those being trained.

In interstellar civilization, almost all basic education in medium and high-level civilizations is completed this way.

The previous master of the space did hate those intelligent robots, but that didn’t mean she rejected all high-tech things. In fact, that would have been impossible.

Once a civilization develops to a certain degree, high technology is ubiquitous, having completely integrated into every detail of human existence.

Just like how modern people, no matter how enthusiastic they are about the ancients and how much they try to emulate a retro lifestyle, can live without television, computers, even cell phones.

But it’s impossible to completely copy their way of living.

If someone really did move into a place without electricity, without running water, without flush toilets, without all the convenient aspects of life they had grown accustomed to since childhood, and truly lived a life where they didn’t use vehicles to travel, fetched water from wells, cooked only with firewood, and used wooden toilets for their bathroom needs...

Well, if someone really did that, they’re not insane, they’d just drive themselves crazy sooner or later...

So, in fact, high technology is indeed quite common in this castle.

The castle itself was built with construction robots.

The building materials even utilized top-notch high-tech technology, able to ensure warmth in the winter and coolness in the summer—and don’t assume there are no seasons in this space.

Furthermore, there are robots like those maintaining the cleanliness of the castle, those sorting and placing the herbs brought by the Plant Clan in the warehouse, those in charge of watering, fertilizing, and weeding in the garden, and the ones in the kitchen capable of receiving orders, automatically processing food ingredients, and cleaning the utensils...

They were countless, so actually the space wasn’t short of various single-purpose service robots; it’s just that those robots are well hidden when not needed.

What was really missing here were just high-intelligence, nanny-type robots that could automatically discern what their master needed.

Lu Yun took a tour around the Pharmacist Training Room, which offered only low-level courses, then she returned to the study with a thought.

Lu Yun calmed her mind and began to reflect.

It seemed that she hadn’t had this complete space for long enough. She had thought she knew it quite well, but the truth proved that it was far from enough.

Since errors were discovered, it was time to correct them promptly.

Lu Yun began to immerse her consciousness in the sea of knowledge, preparing to reevaluate all the information she had received, big or small, from the beginning.

This process was definitely not going to be short, and she didn’t expect to finish "reading" all of it in one go.

But Mu Pei’s appearance made her realize the necessity of this process. She had received a lot of information, but not reviewing it was essentially the same as knowing nothing. The Plant Clan could really be of great help to her if utilized properly.

If Mu Pei hadn’t taken the initiative to show up today, it was foreseeable that she probably wouldn’t remember them until she was completely overwhelmed with busyness.

It would be foolish not to make use of resources that are available.

This time it’s the Plant Clan, who’s to say it won’t be someone else next time? Making the same mistake twice would truly be stupidity.

Lu Yun stayed in her space until the alarm she set went off before stepping out. She turned off the alarm, made sure Shitou’s bedroom door was closed, but didn’t deliberately shut her own bedroom door this time.

Su Qiaoling and Wen Shan arrived on time soon after.

"It smells amazing," Wen Shan said, taking a whiff as she entered.

"I’ve simmered some bone broth, perfect for hotpot base. We just need to bring out some radishes, cabbages, sweet potatoes, potatoes, enoki mushrooms, and noodles you can cook as much as you want to eat. There’s also fish balls and beef balls, fried tofu, kelp, dried beancurd sticks, and gluten...

Oh right, and various ready-to-eat marinated meats: beef, donkey, pork, lamb, rabbit... you guys pick whatever you like."

Lu Yun pointed to the raw ingredients laid out on the table, then opened the tallest plastic tiered food container on the table, removing its layers one by one to reveal not only the various types of cooked meats she mentioned, but also items like marinated pig’s trotters, beef tripe, and squid tentacles.

And there were generous portions of each item.

Su Qiaoling and Wen Shan were astounded. They didn’t hesitate to pick out their favorites with clean chopsticks and plates, piling up a large plate each.

The three women started to boil some water to wash and chop the vegetables. Although Su Qiaoling and Wen Shan had offered to let Lu Yun wait and do nothing but eat, Lu Yun didn’t agree.

This was the first meal that the three of them prepared together since they arrived at their accommodations, and even though not all the diners were present, Lu Yun still took it very seriously.

During the hotpot meal, the three chatted while they ate, and unwittingly grew a lot closer.

That evening, Su Qiaoling stayed behind for the night shift. Before Wen Shan left, Lu Yun handed her the keys to the main door, "It’s quite inconvenient for the two of you to not have keys. When Shitou gets back, I’ll ask if there are any spares. If not, we’ll have to get a couple more cut."

"No need, you keep it. If I wanted to get in, that lock wouldn’t stop me," Wen Shan declined to take the keys from Lu Yun, speaking the blunt truth in an aloof tone.

Lu Yun glared at her, her eyes plainly hostile.

Just as Su Qiaoling and Wen Shan were about to break under the tension, Lu Yun withdrew the keys and said with extreme dissatisfaction, "Then why did you bother knocking today if you can get in by yourselves? Making me go out to open the door for you. Next time, can’t you just let yourselves in?"

"Uh, sure." Wen Shan wiped the nonexistent sweat from her forehead, "Xiaoyun, you just now... you were so scary. I almost thought you were actually angry?"

Wiping sweat, as if—

Lu Yun pursed her lips, and the fact was she hadn’t actually used any spiritual power to pressure them; it was all an act. "I am angry. I’m annoyed that you could have come in yourselves but still troubled me. Made me walk those extra steps."

The "resentment" in her words made Su Qiaoling unable to hold back a laugh, "Then next time we’ll just knock and come in ourselves."

"Don’t bother knocking. You’ll be coming here daily, why knock and give yourselves trouble?" Lu Yun chuckled. "You’ll definitely know when Shitou is at home, and you don’t need to show up during that time. If there’s something important, it won’t happen often. As for other times, if there are guests over and the door is slightly ajar, then you can knock however you please."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shan and Su Qiaoling finally nodded in agreement.
