"You possess the personality traits of both the Black Tower and that hacker girl: pride, competence, confidence, willfulness, and spontaneity..."
Ruan Mei's gaze, as precise as a scalpel, pierced the pair of swaying golden earrings on Bunita's fair earlobes—the radiance that still shone brightly in the void instantly reminded her of the scene in the Black Tower Space Station when Qiong displayed the Tabora earrings.
At the time, Qiong only said that it was a creation that could interfere with the Star God, but kept its specific effects a secret from them.
Black Tower pleaded several times, but in the end, it was transferred to the synthesizer.
Gazing at this familiar yet unfamiliar presence before her, Ruan Mei's matrix rapidly activated.
"Is this the effect of that earring? It has incredible power."
As an expert and genius in the field of life sciences, Ruan Mei's way of judging people is slightly different from that of ordinary people.
She can observe an individual's life stance, a key characteristic that is more unique than fingerprints or irises, and which no one can perfectly forge.
Britta possesses the life field characteristics of both the Black Tower and that hacker girl; two completely different life entities have actually merged into one!
Ruan Mei stared intently at Bunita, her elegant and graceful face from Jiangnan displaying the fervor of a scientist who had discovered the truth.
Her slender fingers unconsciously caressed the gene sampler she carried with her, a slight smile curving her lips.
"Hey, don't look at me like that."
Britta switched to a deadpan expression and waved warily.
She was all too familiar with that look—the kind of gleam that researchers' eyes would light up when they discovered exceptional experimental material.
"I have already sampled the genetic tissue of this body and recorded the biological characteristics throughout. After I disintegrate, you can collaborate with Black Tower on the research."
Hilarious, did Ruan Mei really need to remind him?
With the Black Tower involved in the fusion, how could Britta, who is also a genius, possibly turn a blind eye to something as interesting as Tarrabo?
In particular, Britta knew perfectly well that earrings were a versatile prop!
The laws beyond this world!
Her curiosity and thirst for knowledge were already stirring!
Unfortunately, her existence was limited to the time frame of only one system.
During the two-second direct connection established with the Boshizun, the information exchanged between Bunita and the machine head was so vast that it could be calculated in terms of civilizations. She now has so many projects she wants to research!
But there simply isn't enough time!
Completing even one is not enough!
She's so annoying!
It's like having hundreds of delicious dishes from a Manchu Han Imperial Feast laid out in front of you, but you can only look at them and not eat them!
The thought of this made Britta feel excruciating pain, and she wanted to drag Qiong to bed to comfort herself.
Britta glanced at Qiong and Oswaldo, who were discussing maintaining the baseline three kilometers away in mid-air, and snapped her fingers, her mood gradually becoming annoyed.
Modify real-world coordinates.
Britta, Nguyen Mai, and Sluggum appeared instantly beside the two, causing Oswaldo, who was trying to lower the base number by playing the victim and making various excuses, to pause.
"Hey, your name is... Oh something? Never mind, the name doesn't matter."
"Stop babbling. Pay up your debts according to the contract, or I'll go to the company headquarters and see what Calderon Chadwick left behind."
Britta said something in an impatient tone that made Oswaldo's heart skip a beat.
"Calderon Chadwick, the one from club #79?"
A moment of contemplation flashed in Ruan Mei's eyes, and she murmured.
Her area of expertise included solid-state physics, imaginary number application theory, and orbital mechanics, which was far removed from Ruan Mei's life sciences. She had little contact with Chadwick and they didn't have much of a relationship.
The club was full of eccentrics, madmen, lone wolves, autistic geniuses, and socially awkward individuals. Chadwick was a lone wolf like Nguyen Mai before him, and he didn't fit in with the rest of the club.
In his youth, Chadwick, wanting to showcase his talents and abilities, collaborated with the Interstellar Peace Corporation to develop the "Imaginary Collapse Pulse".
A weapon capable of instantly making Alaya and Gaia display a "I'm begging for mercy" expression—an anti-galactic weapon!
The "Imaginary Collapse Pulse" was used in actual combat for the only time and annihilated more than a dozen advance teams of the antimatter legion. At the same time, it affected 24 satellite-level or higher planets within the weapon's effective range, including 3 planets with civilizations of D-level or higher, causing a large number of innocent casualties.
Chadwick himself was deeply tormented by his conscience, dismissed his research team, broke his contract with the company, and fled with the most important data.
But no matter where he fled, the weapons that had already been built remained in the company's hands.
However, lacking the most crucial data, that thing is now just an empty shell, without any 'bullets'.
Everyone present was puzzled as to why Britta would suddenly bring this up, and they all looked at her.
Oh, by the way.
Britta, hands in her pockets, looked nonchalant.
"I have the power to understand and reproduce; as long as I understand the principles and knowledge, I can directly construct any weapon."
At this point, Britta paused for a moment, glancing indifferently at Oswald, whose face had suddenly turned deathly pale, a cold and arrogant smile playing on her lips:
"Including the 'imaginary number collapse pulse'."
Ruan Mei: "..."
Screw Gum: "?"
Oswaldo: "!!!!!!!!!"
grass!!!
Good news: We have obtained intelligence about the other side and understand why they could create a fleet cluster with a wave of their hand.
Bad news: It's being shipped!
Oh shit!
Why do geniuses possess such extraordinary powers?
Oswaldo had already stopped, his expression as ugly as if he had been choked by a curse, cursing inwardly!
Even the passing of a dearest person is perhaps less dramatic than the expression on Oswaldo's face at this moment.
At this moment, Oswaldo was filled with regret and confusion—of course, he did not regret his past actions, but only regretted getting involved in this mess!
No wonder the guys in the strategic investment department pushed the project over here!
Oswaldo had always been wary of the Diamond Pit Market Development Department, but he never imagined that a civilization's debt problem, which couldn't even be touched by the atmosphere, would escalate to this level!
Using Earth as an analogy, who would have thought that if you led an army to suppress villagers wielding shovels and pickaxes in the mountains, a head of state from a developed country would suddenly appear, and the other side could easily unleash an unlimited supply of nuclear weapons in a short amount of time!
This is outrageous!
A blatant threat.
But Oswaldo didn't dare say a word.
The person opposite is a knowledge envoy, a genius, or even a ghost with the power to make 1+1=11 knowledge and abilities!
"Haha... Madam, you..."
Oswaldo gritted his teeth and forced a smile.
“I’ve said it before, my name is Britta.”
Seemingly guessing what the other was thinking, Britta pointed to her beautiful, innocent face and activated Holy Cutter:
"Although I was formed from the merger of the Black Tower, I am not the Black Tower, and I have no connection with the company whatsoever."
Is Britta threatening the company?
What does this have to do with Black Tower?
In this way, even if Britta disintegrates, the company will have no way to use this against Black Tower.
"The fact that we didn't directly control the fleet to attack you is already out of respect for the Black Tower; otherwise, not a single screw that came to Yalilo today would have been able to leave."
Britta chuckled and took Qiong's hand.
Screw Gum: "...?"
“Don’t look at me like that. I wasn’t talking about you, Screw.” Britta shrugged.
Ruan Mei also looked at Bunita and Qiong's intertwined hands with a rather strange expression.
What's going on?
"Hehe... Well, Ms. Britta, you're right. It's only right to pay back debts."
Oswaldo's lips twitched into a stiff smile, his face, which usually wore an arrogant grin, now looked like a frozen plaster mask.
The loss of composure must not escalate to that point!
Britta's power is enough for her to form an army on her own, the Galactic Army!
If she were to cause trouble at Pierpoint, the company's higher-ups could fire her first and then destroy her.
None of those who sit in that position are soft-hearted.
"Since Mr. Oswaldo has said so, let's sign the contract."
Qiong, holding Bunita's hand, cheerfully pushed the electronic contract over.
Oswaldo's knuckles were white, and the veins at his temples throbbed faintly, like a cornered beast.
Signing this contract not only means the complete collapse of the Yalilo project, but also constitutes a major operational blunder—the diamond faction's hyenas will definitely seize the opportunity to attack him relentlessly.
He could pin the blame on Bryce, but that would still put him at a significant disadvantage in the council battle.
However, if he refuses to sign and the situation continues to escalate, he may very well lose his position as manager.
No matter how backward the economy is, as long as the crystal doesn't explode, there's still room for maneuver.
Oswaldo didn't say another word and silently signed the agreement regarding the company's maintenance costs for the 700 property in Arillo.
"Honey, we're rich now."
Qiong shook the contract at Lazy Duck.
Bronya looked slightly dazed as a wave of dizziness washed over her.
That was the feeling of being overwhelmed by immense happiness.
Belloberg is rich!
That number is simply... for Belleburg, where the population has dwindled to only around one million.
She was beyond words.
But that would require paying with one's body hundreds of billions of times!
Just kidding~
"We won't keep you all this time; please come again next time!"
Oswaldo waved cheerfully.
"By the way, leave a few starships behind as compensation for Bryce's mental anguish in launching the attack on the Beloborg satellite."
Bunita added.
With her current abilities, the warship reconstructed after disintegration cannot be preserved permanently; it can only exist for a certain period of time. If the materials being fused contain the Herrscher of Truth, it might be possible to achieve semi-permanence.
"..."
Oswaldo cursed Bryce in his heart.
How the hell did you even do the background check?!
Even though I know there must be some diamond-scheme guys tampering with things behind the scenes, someone has to take the blame for a work mistake.
PS:
Volume 1: Chapter 474 Darling, can you merge with me?
Cripper Castle, with its wide rooftop terrace.
The pixelated neon data blocks dissipated layer by layer like the receding tide, and the dazzling blue-purple light effects gradually faded, revealing the figure enveloped in ethereal data.
Xing and March 7th leaned forward simultaneously, their bright eyes gazing at the sky, their breathing unconsciously becoming softer.
The tiny specks of light, like stars crushed by the Milky Way, swirled and converged, condensing into several crystal-clear coins before the crowd.
