Genshin Impact: Joining the Genius Society Chapter 300: “I’m Just a Scientist, Not as Strong as You”

"How about you wash your face first?"

Looking at Stelle’s current state, March 7th felt it was best for her to clean herself up.

Right now, only the three of them had seen it.

But if she walked out like this—

The entire Herta Space Station would know.

If she were emotionally fragile, She might even collapse from the embarrassnt.

"Wash my face?"

Stelle touched her cheek.

"I’m naturally beautiful. No need for all that trouble."

Even though she hadn’t seen her reflection yet,

She had a strong feeling—

She was definitely a natural beauty!

"You should take a look yourself."

March took out her portable mirror.

"..."

With a hesitant expression, Stelle looked at her reflection.

"...Hiss! Am I really this ugly?!"

The confidence she had just monts ago shattered instantly.

Her entire body seed to gray out.

"Hey, hey, hey! Pull yourself together! This is obviously soone’s prank! Just wash it off!"

Seeing Stelle on the verge of despair, March quickly tried to comfort her.

"Just wash it off. Maybe you’ll turn into a beauty right after."

Those words reignited Stelle’s hope.

With March’s help, after quite a bit of effort,

They finally cleaned off the ridiculous makeup.

Once washed—

Stelle truly was a beauty.

Though the faint "slacker aura" she carried reduced her overall charm just a little.

Su Ran watched the entire process.

anwhile, Dan Heng kept eyeing him suspiciously.

"Hey, brother, I’m straight. Don’t look at like that—I’m not into guys."

Su Ran took a small step away.

Dan Heng froze for a mont.

"Who are you? A staff mber of the space station?"

He didn’t know every researcher here,

But this man’s presence clearly wasn’t ordinary.

Especially since this was where the Stellaron was stored.

There were Voidrangers nearby.

So the question was—

If he had been trapped here from the start, why didn’t he send a distress signal?

Which ant—

He likely had the ability to protect himself.

But then why would soone like that just sit here waiting with a girl?

"? A collaborator with Herta. Anyway, I’m not your enemy."

Su Ran hesitated slightly.

If he revealed his Genius Society identity,

It might make things awkward.

At least, he didn’t want them to know just yet.

"Herta’s collaborator?"

Though Dan Heng was still cautious,

There was now a hint of respect in his eyes.

"Hmm?"

Su Ran was puzzled by the sudden shift.

Was Herta really that prestigious?

Just being her collaborator earned this kind of reaction?

"Forgive my earlier rudeness."

Dan Heng’s reasoning was simple:

Herta was a mber of the Genius Society—

A true genius who held herself in high regard.

Ordinary people couldn’t beco her collaborator.

So if Su Ran was one,

There was only one possibility—

He was also a mber of the Genius Society.

"...Uh..."

Su Ran felt a bit speechless.

Was that really necessary?

"Hey! You two n, this isn’t the ti for bonding. Let’s go et up with Miss Hiko!"

After helping Stelle regain her confidence,

March decided it was ti to leave.

She even found Stelle a weapon—

A baseball bat.

It seed to be a Curio from the space station.

But there was no ti to worry about that.

Besides, Stelle seed to like it.

"Do you want one too?"

Seeing Su Ran empty-handed,

March felt he should have sothing for self-defense.

"Better not. To be honest, I’m just a scientist. I don’t have your kind of strength. Even with a weapon, I probably wouldn’t be much help."

Especially since he wasn’t skilled in using weapons.

Sure, he could rely on brute force—

But that would ruin his image as a refined scientist.

Dan Heng frowned slightly upon hearing this,

But said nothing.

His instincts told him this man wasn’t simple.

If he didn’t use weapons,

He likely had other ans.

And not every Genius Society mber was an Emanator.

Maybe this man really wasn’t that strong... on the surface.

"Oh, so you’re a scientist! That’s fine then! Don’t worry—Miss March will protect you!"

Hearing he was a "fragile scientist,"

March puffed out her chest confidently.

In her mind, scientists were all high-intelligence but low-defense types.

They definitely needed protection.

"Don’t worry! As long as I’m here, no monster will get near you!"

"Yeah, with March around, nothing to be afraid of!"

Stelle chid in.

Even though they had just t,

The two had already grown close.

"Well... I’m not that amazing."

March scratched her head shyly.

"Oh right, I didn’t ask your na yet."

She already knew Stelle’s,

But not his.

"I’m Su Ran. Just a slightly talented scientist."

"Su Ran... that’s a pretty simple na. Sounds like soone from the Xianzhou Alliance—and you even look like it."

"Unfortunately, I have no connection to the Xianzhou Alliance."

Su Ran denied it.

March didn’t think much of it.

In her eyes, he was just a researcher who got stuck here.

And since he was part of the space station,

She naturally felt responsible for protecting him.

Stelle blinked at Su Ran.

In her view—

This man might have so connection to the Stellaron Hunters.

After all, she rembered him chatting quite happily with Silver Wolf earlier.

He might even know sothing about her past.
