Chapter 141 Sent cat ears to Gu Lei

Yesterday's delivery record is clearly visible.

The recipient address for the perfume is Su Qianqian's home in the Cloud Apartment complex.

The large box contained maid outfits and vibrating "toys," with the recipient address listed as "Seventh District, Ancient Civilization Research Institute, Gu Lei."

This shouldn't be the case. How could the two addresses be reversed?

What did her household robot do for her?

She sent Gu Lei a box full of sex toys including cat ears, animal tails, maid outfits, and more, and even included an electronic note asking him to "unleash his true nature."

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Ning Shuyin finally understood why some villains were so obsessed with destroying the world.

After turning off the personal terminal, Ning Shuyin wanted to call Gu Lei to explain, and also wanted to explain to Su Qianqian, but after thinking it over, she felt it was inappropriate.

No matter how good the relationship is between friends, any misunderstanding involving the other person's partner can be very sensitive.

She didn't want to be a terrible teammate and become someone who made both of them feel awkward.

Therefore, the best way is to steal it back without anyone noticing before Gu Lei opens the package.

Ning Shuyin checked the logistics records again.

It hasn't been signed for yet.

Although the package was quite large, she had a spatial ring and wasn't worried at all. Given the chance, she could take it away in an instant.

With that in mind, she immediately opened the system store.

Her performance during the Penrose Triangle crisis earned her a full 1000 points.

She redeemed two items on the system shop page.

[Short-acting stealth agent]: Valued at 400 points. Within 15 minutes of use, it can minimize one's aura fluctuations, making the user undetectable to ordinary creatures and also evading general electronic detection.

【One-time Lock Picker (Basic)】: Valued at 400 points. Can unlock ordinary physical locks and non-quantum combination locks without leaving a trace.

The two items cost most of the income from one adventure.

Ning Shuyin looked at the little robot that was busy running around in the kitchen and felt speechless and heartbroken.

——

Night falls. Planet A, Sector Seven.

This is a district composed of colleges, with different colored buildings representing different colleges, and each college has its own unique courtyard and lawn.

The colleges are separated by dark gray stone-paved streets.

Even late at night, students are still busy shuttling between teaching buildings and laboratories, carrying backpacks and riding vehicles.

The Ancient Civilization Research Institute is located at the northernmost part of Area A. The building has a very tall black spire and can be seen from afar.

At that moment, a petite figure moved swiftly, hugging the shadow of the building.

Ning Shuyin recalled the map she knew by heart—the location of Gu Lei's office and the independent research room on the third floor of the North Building.

Logistics information shows that the "time bomb" was delivered to Gu Lei's research lab half an hour ago.

It's already 11 p.m.

According to Ning Shuyin's knowledge of Gu Lei's schedule from Su Qianqian, this scholar usually gets off work before ten o'clock.

It seems that fate has spared her a way out.

Ning Shuyin tiptoed towards the third floor of the North Building.

As soon as I stepped onto the wooden stairs to the third floor, I heard a conversation.

Ning Shuyin dodged to the corner of the stairs and saw that in front of her was a brightly lit, open-plan office.

Several students wearing lab coats are gathered together, seemingly discussing some data.

"...Two more sequencers burned out today. Why have the fluctuations been so large lately?"

"Sigh, only a genius like Professor Gu Lei would dare to research this problem. But seriously, can an ordinary person like him really complete this research in his lifetime? I think his hypothesis is just a fantasy."

"You say he's an ordinary person... Hmph, I've been in this lab for over ten years... and I haven't seen him... get old."

"...Didn't you see his eyes? The only pink eyes in the entire alliance, supposedly a mutation resulting from...an accident..."

"Shh! Keep your voice down! That's a taboo topic. Hurry up and finish comparing the data, or we won't be able to leave work today."

Ning Shuyin was surprised to find so many people in the office in the middle of the night.

To get through here, you can only use props.

He took out the [Short-Lasting Stealth Potion] from his system inventory and drank it all in one gulp.

A smoky taste spread from my mouth, followed by a strange sensation.

She looked down at herself; nothing seemed to have changed. Yet, she felt as if she couldn't even feel her own existence anymore.

The medicine is working.

She quickly held her breath and passed behind the students as fast as she could.

Sure enough, she had blended into her surroundings, and the students didn't even notice her presence.

Behind the common office is a corridor. The doors to the offices on both sides of the corridor are closed, and the names of the office owners are listed on electronic nameplates next to the doors.

[Linguistics of the Ancient Perseus Civilization - Professor Lagerfeld]

[A Historical Study of Kepler-81's Voyages - Dr. Linda Romans]

[A Study of the Mythological System and Social Structure of Inorganic Races - Professor Da En Wu]

The sheer number of complex and mysterious professional fields left Ning Shuyin dazzled.

She quickened her pace and finally saw Gu Lei's nameplate at the end of the corridor.

[Ancient Civilizations of the Solar System and the History of Higher-Dimensional Physics - Professor Gu Lei]

The solar system? Ning Shuyin frowned. Was it the solar system she understood? The star that her home, Earth, orbited?

Given her limited knowledge of astronomy, it's possible that people in this world might also name a star that way. Besides, the author of this novel also lives in the real world.

But considering Gu Lei's strange behavior all along, she couldn't help but overthink it.

[Host, what are you standing there for? Open the door! Your invisibility time is about to expire.]

The system's voice rang in her mind.

Reminded, Ning Shuyin quickly took out the small [one-time lock pick].

The important thing is to get down to business first.

This tool looks just like a Coca-Cola pull tab.

She didn't know how to use it, so she just stuck it to the sensor interface of the access control system by feel.

There was no response.

She moved her position again, but there was still no response.

Ning Shuyin panicked a little: "System, how do I use this? Do I have to straighten out the pull ring and pick the lock?"

[Host, you're underestimating the system's tools. All you need to do is slip the lock pick ring onto your index finger, then gently tap the door, and it will open.]

Ning Shuyin: "..."

Without the system's instructions, she might have actually tried to break into the house.

She put on the pull ring as instructed and lightly knocked on the door with her index finger. The door lock indicator light immediately turned from red to green, without even a beep from the access control.

Ning Shuyin gently pushed open the door.

The lock pick on her finger turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated into the air.

Upon closer inspection, the scene in Gu Lei's office amazed her.
