"Then, what about Lady Black Tower?"
Mentioning Ms. Black Tower at this moment is, of course, used as a shield when questioning her.
After all, the entire space station had witnessed Lady Black Tower's extraordinary attention to and almost indulgent attitude towards Dome.
Countless haters privately spread rumors, vividly describing the unspeakable and extremely special relationship between Lady Black Tower and Sora... Some fervent Black Tower fans even drowned their sorrows in alcohol because of this.
As the chief Kuroko and Sora's best friend, Estella never believed such rumors and silently deleted the relevant posts. She firmly believed that it was just the Black Tower treating the outstanding Sora differently.
In short, it could never be that kind of relationship!
"The Black Tower?"
Xing tilted her head, her tone as casual as if she were discussing the dinner menu:
"She also begged us to join forces, but she's already done it once, so she has to be after Ruan Mei in line."
"??"
Estana froze before the complexity that could only be clearly expressed with a pie chart, her pupils dilating in shock.
Black Tower, begging to merge, did it once, and was ranked after Ruan Mei.
Each word was like a heavy hammer, striking Estella's fragile nerves hard.
What?!
Is it...this open?!
Ms. Ruan Mei and Ms. Hei Ta... and Qiong!?
There's too much information; Astaroth's CPU is about to burn out!
Just as Estella's brain crashed and was trying to reboot, Hoshino winked mischievously, as if she had discovered a new toy.
She suddenly stepped forward and, with remarkable ease, took Estella's slightly cold hand in hers, a mischievous smile on her face.
"By the way, Estella, would you like to try merging with me?"
Xing's voice carried a hint of seduction:
"I can let you cut in line, right in front of the Black Tower~ How about that, pretty generous of me?"
"Huh? What—!"
Estelle's feigned composure crumbled instantly. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the gray-haired man who had casually uttered such explosive words.
A surge of scalding heat rushed from her neck to the top of her head, and her entire pretty face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple!
"To merge with you, to become one with you?"
Estella stammered as she repeated herself, her voice trembling.
This guy!
How can you always say such embarrassing things without batting an eye?
"I'm...I'm sorry, I...I..."
Speechless, Estella waved her hands unconsciously.
Her sexual orientation is 100% heterosexual, but if it were Sora... um...
The thought had barely crossed her mind when Estella blushed even more and quickly shook her head to dispel it.
Even for Sora, this is too fast!
wrong!
You've completely missed the point!
"Oh, you're blushing!"
Xing crossed her arms, tilted her head, and gave Anya the same smirking expression.
"So cute!"
Seeing that mischievous smile, Estelle's tense nerves instantly relaxed. She let out a long sigh of relief, one hand gently patting her heaving chest, her face showing the relief of surviving a close call.
"Phew~ It was just a joke, I was so scared."
Her pretty face was flushed, a mixture of shyness and slight annoyance.
Honestly, I knew all along that Starry Sky loved to make these kinds of abstract jokes, so why did I still believe it!
"I'm not kidding."
Just as Estella's embarrassment level began to drop, the cunning cat, Star Image, moved closer again.
She lowered her voice, speaking in a hushed, secretive tone, as if sharing a momentous secret:
"Have you heard of the new intellectual envoy, Britta?"
"Ms. Britta?"
Estelle was indeed drawn to the impressive name, temporarily forgetting her shyness, her eyes filled with surprise:
"Xing, do you... know that new, mysterious genius?"
Although Britta's name has spread throughout most of the galaxy, there is almost no information about her, absolutely none!
In the interstellar age, completely erasing a person's historical information is almost a pipe dream; even geniuses should leave traces.
Countless forces vied to mobilize resources to try and befriend him, and the Academy of Knowledge searched diligently, but all their efforts were in vain; they could not find even the slightest trace.
"Of course I know him!"
Xing puffed out her chest, a smug look on her face saying, "What's the big deal?"
"To be honest, the ethereal spirits that Qiongzai and I share were made for me by Bunita."
Estelle's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered a new star. She took a step forward eagerly, her cherry lips slightly parted, and countless questions—about Britta's identity, past, and research achievements—were about to be fired off like a machine gun.
But Xing's next words dropped a logical bomb into Aistar's newly activated thought engine.
"She's the result of the Black Tower's fusion~"
"……ha???"
Estella's eyes, which had just lit up, were flooded with a huge number of question marks, leaving her in a cute, bewildered state.
Fit?
result?
Requesting translation of Azure Language into Azure Language.
It's clear that Xing is giving him a helping hand; Qiong, who hadn't turned on her microphone before, came over at this opportune moment.
"Potala Earrings"
Qiong raised a finger and explained the earring's fusion ability and the origin of Bunita's birth in simple and clear language.
The existence and abilities of the earrings must be kept secret, and Ruan Mei, Hei Ta, and Luo Si Gu Mu will remain silent.
As for the company?
While Qiong and Oswaldo were talking, the genius hacker Britta casually modified all the footage involving the earrings in the surveillance footage, leaving no trace.
As for the few people who actually saw the earrings?
There's no need to worry. Except when Qiong takes it out, it stays safely in the system equipment space the rest of the time, with no possibility of being stolen.
"Wow!"
Estelle listened with wide, sparkling eyes. All her confusion vanished, replaced by intense curiosity and a strong desire to try.
"Such an incredible and wondrous object exists?"
The Black Tower Space Station has collected many strange items, but this is the first time Estella has heard of something with such a unique effect.
She looked at Qiong excitedly, her tone full of anticipation:
"Then...can I?"
A wondrous tool that allows two people to merge—I've never heard of it before!
If possible, Estella would definitely like to try it!
"Of course you can!"
Before Qiong could speak, Xing grinned and precisely nudged Qiong's side with her elbow, urging him on:
"Qiongzai, hurry up and bring me the earrings."
Qiong was slightly turned to the side by Xing's elbow. Their eyes met, and their tacit understanding allowed him to easily guess Xing's thoughts.
Do you want to merge with Estelle to test a simulated universe?
Qiong initiated eye contact.
[Yeah! Simulated universes are so much fun, let's bring Estella along!]
Xing winked playfully at the sky.
This star core essence is damn sweet!
Stop dawdling! Qiongzai, hurry up and invite her!
Having your lover invite other beautiful girls to a six-star tourist attraction for a date and adventure, while you enjoy the process yourself, is something that usually only people with unusual fantasies can do.
But lovers are only one of the relationships in the cosmos.
That's the true value of 'yourself'!
"Estella, would you like to go play in a simulated universe with us?"
Since Xingdu has already laid the groundwork to this extent, Qiong naturally has no choice but to invite him.
"Hey! Shall I go test it?"
Estelle's eyes widened instantly, and her first reaction was to wave her hands frantically:
"Won't that work? Wouldn't it cause trouble for Ms. Black Tower?"
As the station commander, she was all too aware of the significance of the space simulation project!
That was a magnificent project in which four geniuses joined forces to explore the mysteries of the Star God!
Let alone ordinary researchers, even the top scholars on the space station can't keep up with the geniuses' thinking, and they even find it inefficient to assist them.
Estella was naturally curious about the simulated universe project that cost her a portion of her allowance every month.
To be honest, many staff members on the space station were very curious about the project of the four geniuses working together to study the Star God, but even the space station's top researchers felt that it was too slow to help.
Become a tester in a simulated universe?
This is an honor that countless researchers on the space station dream of!
Estelle was very self-aware; she knew that if she asked, the Black Tower lady would most likely agree.
However, she worried that she might interfere with the testing process or even affect the valuable experimental data.
This reverence for the project and a clear understanding of her own position prevented her from ever mentioning a single word to Black Tower, no matter how much she wanted to.
"Then it's settled."
As if she hadn't heard Estella's words at all, Qiong took the little rich girl's delicate hand.
The Black Tower would probably be interested in the combined warrior test simulating the universe.
"Eh~"
Estella was both amused and exasperated. Listen to what people are saying!
Before she could speak again, she saw Xing put a bright gold pearl earring on her left ear and hold out the other earring to her right ear.

Volume 1: Chapter 495 In order to obtain materials, he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.
The most (not) mysterious office in the entire universe.
Light and shadow flowed across the surface of the precision instruments, and the air was filled with a faint scent of condensation mixed with an unknown floral fragrance.
