Before they could exchange a few more words, the sound of footsteps, *哒哒哒*, echoed through the room.
A tiny figure, dressed in a black Lolita outfit,
with a small hat perched askew on her head, hurried towards them.
Her two large eyes darted quickly around.
"What a coincidence."
"You're back, Black Tower?"
"Mr. Chen Xu, Ms. Xing, this is the owner of the space station I'm introducing you to, the 83rd seat of the [Genius Club], Black Tower."
Seeing this, Ji Zi turned to Chen Xu and introduced her.
"If you're going to introduce her, just introduce her properly? Why mention the Genius Club? I have so many extraordinary achievements, which one isn't more impressive than the 83rd seat?"
Black Tower listened to Ji Zi's introduction and, with a frown, crossed her arms.
Her tone was old and seasoned.
As if she had lived for thousands of years.
"This is... an intelligent machine?"
Chen Xu focused his gaze on Black Tower, his eyes widening in surprise.
"To be precise, it's a doll."
Black Tower glanced at Chen Xu and corrected her.
"Wait... could you be the one who refused to become a Destroyer's Envoy and even caused the manifestation of the Floating World?"
But the next moment, she crossed her arms,
a look of intense interest on her face.
You see, this was unprecedented.
No one in the entire universe had ever heard of
anyone refusing a Star God's blessing.
The sheer shock of the event could be considered explosive.
And it was this unprecedented historical moment
that must have triggered the manifestation of the Floating World, right?
Despite conducting groundbreaking research for years,
the Floating World had never appeared before.
She was extremely fascinated by something she had never encountered before.
"If no one else here has refused to become a Destroyer's Envoy, then it must have been me, right?"
Chen Xu shrugged and said.
"Tsk tsk, it's truly baffling."
"Don't you know that becoming an Envoy grants you the most powerful force in this universe? Why would you refuse?"
"Also, how did you refuse?"
Black Tower's eyes, gleaming with curiosity, were fixed on Chen Xu.
"The Envoy's power, is it really that strong?"
"It's just, meh!"
"Besides, that Nanook, he's not worthy of me becoming his Envoy. He ran away after I scolded him."
"By the way, if you know where he is, let me know."
"I'll slap him twice to teach him a lesson."
"Don't wander around like a rogue when you have nothing to do."
Chen Xu replied helplessly to Black Tower's elementary questions.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what an unexpected answer?"
"Very arrogant!"
"You don't even care about the Star God. Or rather, do you possess power that rivals the Star God?"
"I absolutely adore you."
"Can I study you?"
Black Tower stroked her chin and gazed at Chen Xu expectantly.
"Me?"
Chen Xu pointed at himself.
"Yes, you. I'm very curious, what are you made of, what's the source of your power? How much potential do you have?"
"Aren't you curious about these things?"
Black Tower nodded earnestly.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested."
Chen Xu, naturally, refused.
What a joke!
Who knows what this woman would do to him, maybe some kind of human experiment?
Although he wasn't afraid, not exactly?
But the secrets he held could not be shared with these people.
"Are you really going to refuse?"
"I want to help you, this is a service that even the Intergalactic Peace Company can't buy with money, it's a good thing, you know?"
"Or I could give you a reward, a lot of rewards!"
"Anything you want, I can satisfy you, like my curiosities, my collection, even everything in this space station, including all the people, I can pack them all up and give them to you."
Seeing Chen Xu's refusal, Black Tower immediately pouted.
She began to tempt him.
"Eh? Ms. Black Tower, can you even give away the space station?"
"This..."
On the side, Aisuda heard Black Tower say she would even give away the space station.
And even herself.
She immediately felt a sense of panic.
"Cough, cough, just an example, just an example!"
"Aisuda, don't be alarmed!"
"What do you say? Don't worry, I won't do any human research on you. I'll send the research plan to you, you can refuse if you don't like it."
Black Tower continued to persuade him earnestly.
This scene made Ji Zi,
and even Aisuda, stunned.
Huh? Is this still the Ms. Black Tower they knew?
How is this different from begging?
The previous Ms. Black Tower,
wasn't like this!
After all, no matter how willing she was to accommodate her research before,
she never begged so humbly.
"Well? Since you put it this way, for the sake of the Train Crew and Ms. Aisuda, I'll give you a hand."
"But I have conditions."
Seeing this, Chen Xu agreed temporarily.
"Eh?"
Ji Zi and Aisuda were completely unprepared for Chen Xu to say that.
Especially Aisuda.
Her cheeks instantly flushed, and a smile appeared on her face.
For some reason, after hearing Chen Xu say this,
she felt a little happy.
Although, it was probably just Chen Xu's polite words.
"No problem! One condition or ten, I'll agree to them all. Don't worry, I absolutely won't let you suffer a loss."
Upon hearing this, Black Tower said with satisfaction.
"Okay, but before we cooperate on your research, you have to tell me where you got that certain curio from your containment unit."
"Only then can our cooperation continue."
Chen Xu naturally hadn't forgotten about the Wind Wings.
He still had to go...
and crush that bastard Scattered Soldier.
"Ah? I have so many curiosities in my containment unit, who can remember where they came from? A genius's brain isn't for storing those things."
"Fine, fine, I'll agree to your request."
Black Tower slumped as soon as she heard Chen Xu's condition.
Seeing that Chen Xu was about to refuse, she immediately changed her mind.
"Hey! Over there, little girl with the star core, you join my research too. Studying two at once, what a lucky day today!"
Soon, Black Tower shifted her gaze to Star Mei.
"Research what?"
"Me?"
Star Mei was stunned and pointed at herself, confused.
"Yes, you. You have a star core in your body, which is basically no different from having a ticking time bomb."
"Who knows if it will be dangerous?"
"What if it suddenly explodes and makes you croak?"
"Now, this genius is willing to help, so be grateful!"
Black Tower crossed her arms and resumed her arrogant expression.
"Me?"
Star Mei looked at Black Tower, then at Chen Xu.
This woman, why is she speaking to them in different tones?
When she spoke to Chen Xu,
she was polite and didn't talk down to him. Why is she like this to me?
"I know what you're thinking. Chen Xu is different from you, he's more valuable, you're still lacking. "
"It's only because I'm interested in you now. If I lose interest, you can beg me, and I won't even study you!"
Black Tower saw through Star Mei's thoughts.
She spoke without hesitation.
"ε=(′ο｀*)))唉…？ This is the real Ms. Black Tower!"
"So authentic."
Ji Zi and Aisuda exchanged a look, shaking their heads with a faint smile.
The difference in her treatment of Chen Xu and Star Mei...
was a bit too much, wasn't it?
