Absolutely legitimate Star Iron, I've awakened the Underworld System?

March 7th stomped her foot angrily, pointing at the loudspeaker, her rosy cheeks flushed red. "Little pink-haired dwarf, are you talking about me?!"

She turned angrily to Silver Wolf, her tone laced with accusation and grievance, "And why didn't she call you out by name? What kind of preferential treatment is this!"

His pitiful look was just like that of a child who had been treated unfairly.

Silver Wolf crossed his arms, shrugged slightly, and said with a hint of mockery, "I made some minor adjustments to their monitoring terminal backend—if I appear here as a holographic projection, they won't be able to see me through the monitoring screen."

March 7th opened his mouth wide, revealing an expression of extreme envy.

"What a convenient ability! If I had this ability, I could be with Bai Qiong in the wild anytime."

March 7th lowered her head and muttered to herself in a voice only she could hear.

Bai Qiong raised her head and responded loudly in the direction of the broadcast, her clear voice piercing through the space, "Ms. Black Tower - we'll be there soon."

Silver Wolf's holographic image flickered slightly as she looked at Bai Qiong with a serious expression in her eyes.

"Although Black Tower can't see me through the surveillance, her gaze will soon be drawn here. There's still some time before the meme outbreak, so I'll be going now. I'll come back in my true form when I have the chance."

March 7th put her hands on her hips, made a face in the direction the silver wolf had disappeared, and wrinkled her small nose. "Hmph, goodbye! I'll help you remove the meme, that's enough. Stop thinking about lusting after Bai Qiong's body!"

The holographic projection of the silver wolf vanished completely, as if it had never existed.

March 7th let out a long breath, turned to look at Bai Qiong, and spoke with a hint of ease and teasing.

"You're leaving already? This little girl runs away so fast, unlike me, who's always by your side."

Bai Qiong's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this. She affectionately took Bai Qiong's arm, snuggling closer, and said with a grin, "Then... let's set off too—to find the Black Tower!"

The two walked side by side toward the room where the Black Tower was located, their footsteps echoing in the corridor.

The Black Tower office wasn't far; we arrived in no time.

Lacking the necessary authorization, the automatic sensor door remained tightly shut, not opening upon the arrival of the two individuals. The metallic door panel reflected the cold light from inside the space station.

Bai Qiong raised her hand and politely knocked lightly on the door. "Hmph, it's Star Core brat and Pink-haired dwarf."

Black Tower's voice immediately came from inside the room, carrying a hint of impatience and contempt.

They acted as if they were late guests who had disturbed her precious time.

"There are no obstacles at all, you could come and challenge me directly, why are you dawdling?"

The door opened with a click, and Black Tower appeared in the doorway, still in that doll-like pose, arms crossed.

Black Tower's purple eyes scanned White Sky and March 7, his tone tinged with a hint of complaint.

"If you ask me, those guys in the Sports Association are really out of their minds. They should set up some puzzles and preliminary levels to filter out some of the idiots, which would reduce my workload a lot."

Upon hearing this, March 7th immediately flew into a rage, jumping up and down in anger, her pink hair shaking wildly.

She pointed at Black Tower and said disapprovingly, "Ms. Black Tower, who are you calling a pink-haired little dwarf?! Can't you speak properly?!"

Black Tower's gaze landed precisely on March 7th, his tone as calm as if stating a perfectly obvious fact.

"Who else could you be? Looking across the entire space station, is there another pink-haired person here? Do you think I'm talking about myself?"

March 7th was speechless, hands on hips, glaring angrily at Black Tower, cheeks puffed out.

"Ms. Black Tower, you've gone too far! You have absolutely no respect for people!" (Novel group 6*;4)

"Alright, alright, little dwarf, stop fooling around." Black Tower waved his hand impatiently, as if shooing away a fly.

"Hurry up. You want to have some kind of duel, right? Get started already, I'm very busy."

She glanced at Bai Qiong again, her tone carrying a condescending tone.

"Or should I just give you the qualification badge directly? That would save you time. You choose."

Bai Qiong's eyes flickered slightly. He took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and said frankly to Hei Ta, "Then you might as well just give it to me, Ms. Hei Ta."

He prefers to avoid fighting if possible, as he has no interest in such pointless battles anyway.

Moreover, he felt that the audience probably didn't like watching overwhelming matchups, so they could just skip them and save everyone the trouble.

March 7th looked at Bai Qiong in surprise, blinked, and asked softly, "Huh? Is this okay? Didn't we say we had to follow procedures?"

Black Tower shrugged indifferently, his metal joints making a slight clicking sound.

"Sure, no problem... Uh, wait a minute, I need to take this call."

A bad feeling suddenly rose in Bai Qiong's heart. His intuition told him that things wouldn't go so smoothly.

Heita walked to the side, picked up the communicator and answered the phone. She kept her voice very low, deliberately avoiding them, and only some indistinct words could be vaguely heard, coming in intermittently.

"What? No?!"

"Um...uh...okay...I understand."

A few minutes later, Black Tower hung up the phone, turned around, and the doll's facial expression remained unchanged, but its tone carried a clear hint of displeasure.

"The sports association called and said that we have to go through the proper procedures and have played a match before we can proceed."

"Hmph. Hmph!"

Toppa, who had been perched on Bai Qiong's shoulder, suddenly let out a light hum, seemingly pleased with himself for upholding the company's own rules of the game.

"whispering sound!"

Black Tower glared at Silver Cover with displeasure. "What a hassle. If it weren't for the company's sake, I wouldn't play this idiotic game. It's a waste of my research time."

“Eh…”

Bai Qiong also sighed.

I knew things wouldn't be that simple.

It seems that what was bound to happen will happen; this so-called "showdown" is ultimately unavoidable.

"Alright, let's get started."

Black Tower urged, casually tossing out an Ether coin.

Bai Qiong also struck a cool pose and tossed his Ether Coin.

The coin tumbled through the air and landed in their hands.

The duel begins!

The outcome of this battle was still largely predictable. Although Black Tower was significantly stronger than Master Gongshu, it posed no challenge to Bai Qiong.

When she first released only the full-scale manifestation of Toppa, Black Tower seemed to have taken on the role of a champion candidate, with a look of great interest on her face. She methodically commanded the Aether Spirits, trying to show her strength in front of the challenger.

After all, a genius should be a genius in every aspect, and even a game that is played casually should be no exception.

But when Bai Qiong released Cocolia in her Mother of Illusions form, Hei Ta's expression instantly changed.

The moment the Mother of Illusion appeared, her enormous form was like an insurmountable fortress, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

Bai Qiong, controlling the Mother of Illusion, ruthlessly crushed the Black Tower's Aether Spirits, which were primarily constructed to destroy illusory soldiers, with overwhelming force.

Those Destruction Void Soldiers that the Black Tower considered well-trained were as fragile as paper before the Mother of Illusion.

Even the centaur-shaped Void Soldier Trampler, a Overlord-level Aether Spirit, was no match for the Mother of Illusions.

After a few rounds, he was completely defeated. "Tch, boring! So boring!"

Seeing this, Black Tower stomped his foot angrily. This guy, how could he be cheating?!

What kind of terrible game did this company design?

Chapter 75 The Black Tower, Puppet Empathy (6.3K)

"What do you mean by that?"

Black Tower's voice carried a hint of doubt: "Wait... let me examine this doll."

After saying that, the Black Tower doll's eyes dimmed instantly, like a puppet with broken strings, losing all its luster and freezing in place.

A few seconds of silence followed, and the atmosphere in the office froze.

March 7 blinked, looked at Bai Qiong, then at the motionless puppet, and was a little confused.

Suddenly, the Black Tower doll's eyes lit up again. This time, its tone was less nonchalant and more serious: "Wait a moment, I'll come over in person."

"You... you came in person? Are you the true form of Lady Black Tower—the Great Black Tower?"

Bai Qiong blurted out the name, which came out naturally from her lips.

"Pfft!"

March 7th couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. She quickly covered her mouth, but her shoulders were still shaking. "Bai Qiong, what kind of address is that! How can you call Lady Black Tower like that?"

"What do you know? It has to be called the Big Black Tower!"

Bai Qiong gave her a disgruntled look.

The title "Great Black Tower" has been personally verified by the Black Tower himself.

A contributor to the Bo Shi Society once wanted to give her a title like "The Unique Black Tower," but Black Tower disliked it for being too vulgar and directly designated "The Great Black Tower" as the name. It was simple, direct, faithful, and elegant, which suited her style quite well.

The "silly girlfriend" persona of March 7th still limits her access to information. She doesn't read magazines published by the Bo Shi Society, so she doesn't even know such interesting anecdotes.

"What he said is correct; it's okay to call me that."

Black Tower's voice came again, confirming White Sky's address, "There's no point in saying more. You two wait for me where you are and don't leave this room."

Before the words were finished, the little black tower's eyes dimmed again, and it fell straight backward, collapsing to the ground with a thud, completely disconnecting.

It seems the situation is more complicated than expected; the Black Tower itself is about to descend, which is no small matter.

Bai Qiong looked at the motionless doll on the ground, his expression turning serious.

This would have happened several versions later in the original Star Train timeline.
