Chapter 9
The Black Tower I Have Abandoned My Reproductive Function

After the Doomsday Beast was eliminated.

The Antimatter Legion in the main area of the space station was also basically cleared.

However, there must be some stragglers left in certain nooks and crannies.

After all, the Black Tower space station is quite large.

Many departments are not yet staffed for cleaning.

Back to the main control cabin section.

March 7th enthusiastically pulled Xing to help Alan's security department restore order.

Valter took the [Xin Yan] back to the train to reminisce about the past.

While Jizi helped Aistana coordinate everything, and also solved the train's supply and repair issues.

As for Xia Ye—

He brought the Black Tower doll to the Black Tower's office and found another Black Tower doll.

"What do you want?"

Meeting again, the Black Tower's expression became more lively, and her tone was not as emotionless as when they first met.

After all, she had verified that Xia Ye was indeed related to the Imaginary Tree.

Even if she didn't care about that star god-like status, she had to say something nice to get Xia Ye to offer his body for her to study!

"I have a question for you—"

Xia Ye looked around the office, which could almost be considered a broadcasting hall, then looked back at the Black Tower:

"Do you want your Black Tower space station to join the Magic Network?"

"You're actually eyeing the entire space station?" The Black Tower chuckled: "You have big ambitions. But then again, you did say you would spread the Magic Network across the entire galaxy."

"So you agree?"

"Not at all!"

The Black Tower glanced at the doll standing beside Xia Ye:

"I cut off the connection with her, so I still don't know the specific functions of your Magic Network. Tell me, what benefits would I have if the space station joined the Magic Network?"

"Actually, even I haven't figured out all the functions of the Magic Network yet. Why don't you join first, and we can research it together?"

Xia Ye said with a playful smile.

"Forget it~" The Black Tower shook her head:

"I've already lost one doll, and I don't want to lose myself again. How about this, I'll let Aistana join your Magic Network, alright?"

"Of course!"

Xia Ye hadn't expected the Black Tower's main body to join the Magic Network right away. Aistana, the acting station director, was already within his expectations:

"I'll give her Level 3 Magic Network node permissions, allowing her to grant access independently."

"Of course, newcomers will only have the lowest permissions. They will only have communication functions, access to low-level skill and knowledge lists, and will need to apply to download knowledge and use skills. But—"

"These should be enough to attract a lot of people, right?"

"You're right~"

The Black Tower didn't deny it. These low-level Magic Network permissions offered services that were nothing to her, but for the space station's ordinary staff, they were already considered quite rare things. As long as word got out, there would surely be many who would join.

"So you agree then?"

"I guess so~"

The Black Tower's focus was on Xia Ye, who had merged with the Imaginary Tree's roots. The newly created Magic Network was at most something she could praise, not something she would care too much about:

"Alright, take your clothes off!"

"Let me study you!"

"Wait!"

Xia Ye looked around:

"Here?"

"Where else?"

The Black Tower clearly didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"I can't wait."

"......"

Although the Black Tower's words sounded like tiger-wolf words, Xia Ye understood that, to her, even if he stripped naked in front of her, she would only see him as a white rat or something like that.

"Black Tower, do you still have the ability to reproduce?"

Xia Ye's question was very straightforward. Talking to someone like the Black Tower, a genius who has lived through countless Amber Ages, there's no need to be roundabout. Even asking a question like this, which would be considered quite offensive to ordinary girls, is fine!

"Reproduce?"

The Black Tower frowned:

"When I used the Rejuvenation Program to revert to my youthful body, I had already abandoned the low-level reproductive instinct. But if you're talking about the process of reproduction, I still have that function, and the dolls I made do too. If you need to, you can try it with the doll I gave you."

"......"

The Black Tower doll blinked, feeling quite speechless!

Unlike her main body, she doesn't have that near-divine consciousness ideology. Her current state is equivalent to her main body's childhood, so she's a bit uncomfortable with her main body and Xia Ye discussing these topics!

"Ahem!"

Xia Ye cleared his throat.

The Black Tower doll was small and cute, looking no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if the body housed a legitimate soul, Xia Ye felt a bit guilty talking about these things with her.

"Let's not talk about that—"

"You were going to study me."

"Come on!"

...

A long time later.

Xia Ye walked out of the Black Tower's office.

Although he had given his body to the Black Tower to study.

The progress the Black Tower made wasn't very significant.

This wasn't because she lacked the ability, but because she didn't want the doll's consciousness network to connect to the Magic Network, which resulted in many methods being unusable.

However, she said she was going to contact some of the genius club members she was close to, and then form a research team—

Don't underestimate those "people". Their research areas might be different, but they should be very interested in the Imaginary Tree, which could almost be considered the ultimate existence in the galaxy!

Leaving the Black Tower doll in the Black Tower's office, the Black Tower said she would add some special functions to the doll to enhance it. Xia Ye decided to wander around the space station.

......

"Xia Ye!"

In the medical cabin section, Xia Ye saw Aistana.

She seemed to be directing the medical department staff in treating the wounded from the Antimatter Legion's invasion of the space station.

"Black Tower Lady just informed me that I should join your Magic Network, Xia Ye. Can I do it now?"

"Aren't you afraid of danger?"

Xia Ye looked at the girl with pink hair and a delicate face.

Unlike her role in the game, where she has strong support abilities and good break-through capabilities, Aistana in reality didn't walk any paths.

Of course, as a rich woman who casually bought a limited-edition star destroyer as a toy, she must have many powerful pieces of equipment, but these were far from as convenient as her own strength.

"I trust Black Tower Lady!"

Aistana's smile was sweet.

However, she wasn't a simpleton. She saw the value of the Magic Network from Black Tower's description. If the Magic Network truly expanded to the galaxy, as someone who joined during the Magic Network's initial stage, she should be able to stand against those factions in her family and achieve true freedom!

"Then sign it~"

"Okay!"

Aistana pressed her slender hand onto the Imaginary Contract:

"Wow, so many functions!"

"Huh? Only three Level 2 permissions?"

"That's right!"

Xia Ye nodded. The members of the Stargazer Train all had Level 2 permissions—except for Dan Heng!

That guy was afraid that others would discover his identity and refused to join the Magic Network. Xia Ye didn't force him.

"Hmm..."

Aistana tapped her chin with her fingers, then—

The Magic Network database suddenly had a lot of celestial astronomy knowledge, from simple to profound, everything!

"Wait!"

Xia Ye quickly stopped her:

"The Magic Network doesn't have a real main server yet. It's currently using my consciousness as a substitute. If you cram so much knowledge in all at once, I can't handle it!"

"Hee hee hee~"

Aistana covered her mouth and giggled:

"Oh, that's right. I was going to upload management materials as well. Never mind then~"

"But Xia Ye, wouldn't this be considered my contribution?"

"Yes, I haven't worked out a perfect contribution system for knowledge yet. I'll remember these contributions for you."

"Should I help you? I'm pretty good at this!"

"Okay!"
