I'm on Star Iron, and I've loaded the Commander Simulator.

Two options are currently displayed above.

V1.0 Initial Electronic Life - Black Tower.

And there's also the V2.0 electronic life form, Black Tower, which just died.

Before selecting to load the electronic life black tower, Lu Xian turned his gaze to the question mark on the side.

Electronic life forms that depend entirely on supercomputers can fine-tune various values.

You can press the pause button at any time.

Introducing electronic life forms independent of this world into reality carries certain risks; please proceed with caution.

……

Lu Xian spent a considerable amount of time reading through all these rules and regulations, and then he roughly understood what it meant.

This is an electronic pet...

However, Lu Xian would not treat the other party that way.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Xian preemptively disabled the electronic life form's observation permissions over this world before pressing the loading option.

"Hey, didn't I die? How did I come back to life? And what's with this pure white room? Is this the legendary underworld?"

"Hello, is anyone home?"

A slightly curious voice came from the screen in front of Lu Xian from Black Tower.

In front of him stood a beautiful blonde girl, curiously observing her surroundings.

Nobody's home.

Lu Xian brought up the keyboard and started typing towards the black tower inside.

These words appeared prominently in front of the electronic black tower.

In an instant, Black Tower thought of many things.

"Ah, Lu Xian, you, you! I'll eat your flesh, drink your blood, and grind you to dust! You actually treated me like an electronic pet! Ahhhhh!" Black Tower immediately flew into a rage after realizing something was wrong.

"Hmm... wait, why did you revive me? Do you like me?"

Or is your XP system a clone? That's weird~

I'm not the real person, and there won't be any good consequences if you get involved with me~

And don't even think about asking me to help you conquer the main character or anything like that. You'll just get a lot of scorn from me!

"Then curse me more, and don't flatter yourself. I just find you a bit amusing. Deceiving you occasionally brings a lot of fun."

"Aaaaaah, you bastard! Ugh~ No, how about we go tease the real thing? What's the point of teasing an electronic pet? I'll tease her for you, how about that? Now connect to the network, control the doll in that room, and give her a good kick. Hmph, if we do that, she might be completely confused for a long time."

Do you still remember what I taught you back then? And if you'd like, let me see how I made a fool of myself, haha~"

"Don't you want to take his place?" Lu Xian asked a very crucial question.

"I have no interest in that. Anyway, you'll just tell on me. Besides, I'm just a bunch of data, not a real person, so there's no need for me to become a real person."

Upon seeing Lu Xian's puzzled expression, Hei Ta's mood immediately sombered, indicating that Lu Xian's previous actions had caused her considerable harm.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xian immediately changed the subject and even showed her a picture captured by his personal computer.

It was none other than Room No. 83 of the Genius Club.

Upon seeing this scene, the Black Tower, who was in the pure white room, immediately became interested.

It would be too cruel to suffer alone; the other Black Towers must also experience this bastard's persecution.

……

I think I had a really bizarre dream. I dreamt that a copy of me wanted to replace me.

Hei Ta, sprawled on the bed, stroked his chin, his mind filled with endless questions.

However, this dream is incomplete; although it clearly has a second half, it is completely blank at this moment.

Oh, no, last time I created a version of myself trapped in a simulated world, wanting to ascend to a higher dimension and escape.

So, combining this dream with the dream itself, the missing part of the dream is my experience after ascending to a higher dimension. That means I was split into two parts, and then we fought each other. But in the end, it seems we joined forces. What was the purpose of joining forces?

That was a pretty important experience. At least judging from the lack of romantic relationships right now, it must have been a very important experience...

No, no, no. Based on the current situation and the available information, it's very likely that someone pulled me into a simulated world, and when I returned from the simulated world, my memory was erased, but for some reason, it wasn't completely erased.

So, the fact that I'm missing a piece of memory means that I've been fragmented?

Black Tower picked up the photo frame on one side and looked at the figure inside.

Her soul, as shown in the text, has not shrunk.

Was I not split into two parts? Does that mean a segment of my memory was extracted?

Is this the work of the Star God of Memory?

Or what is it?

34. A simplistic deception.

The moment the Black Tower was still expanding its thinking.

One of the puppets on one side suddenly moved.

She moved slowly, got closer to the black tower, and gave it a hard whack on its bottom, which was still swaying with its tiny feet.

!

An exclamation mark instantly appeared above Black Tower's head. She stared wide-eyed at the lifeless doll on the side, which was still in the same kicking posture as before.

What's going on? Could it be that a version of me from a simulated world has actually ascended to a higher dimension?

Just as she was about to say something to make this simulated world of hers reveal itself, she was shocked to find that what she had just analyzed, those things that were worth remembering, were being shrouded in a fog.

Realizing this, she was about to pick up a pen and paper to write it down when she completely forgot why she wanted to pick up the pen and paper.

"What, what's going on? Why are you moving on your own? Who is it?"

A few seconds later, a hint of anger appeared on the black tower, who had forgotten everything.

She quickly connected to the doll, but was unable to obtain any information from it.

?

Black Tower was completely baffled.

"Haha~, look at this silly girl, she'll never guess someone's teasing her, she'll probably be fretting about it for a long time, quack quack~"

A bright smile appeared on the face of the electronic black tower. She looked very happy. After all, the simplest way to be happy is to build happiness on other people, especially when that other person is "another version of herself".

At this moment, the electronic black tower was completely unaware that it was actually part of what she was mocking.

He helps others to amuse himself.

If you knew this, you probably wouldn't be laughing at all.

Lu Xian, who was also watching the electronic screen, couldn't quite understand this simple joy, and after his highly tense mind was relaxed, he gradually became sleepy.

He glanced at the time, then looked back at Black Tower, who was laughing heartily.

"Alright, I should go to sleep too. Do you need me to pause your time? Or do you want to just sit in this pure white space for a few hours and then I'll pause it?"

Upon seeing this question, Black Tower stopped laughing heartily.

She looked closely at the characters in front of her, a hint of displeasure appearing on her face.

"Look, I'm your official wife now, how can you lock me up in this tiny room? Let me out quickly, I'll give you advice, I'll help you pick up girls, and if possible, go to Azure Star and blackmail a puppet so I can also walk around and see the real world."

The black tower on the screen in front of Lu Xian pouted slightly, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"When did you become my official wife? As for showing you the world, let's wait a while. After all, I'm just an ordinary person." Listening to the other person's nonsense, Lu Xian felt much less sleepy.

"Hmph, would you believe me if I said I really fell in love with you? It wouldn't be too much to ask for the smartest person in the world to be your wife, let alone give her the position of the main wife."

"Then call me 'husband,' and say 'mwah'?"

"Rue~, die. You bastard, since you're just an ordinary person in the real world, once I get out or contact my true self, I'll definitely tear you apart alive."

The Black Tower seemed to have stopped, revealing its fangs.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xian smiled slightly and then pressed the pause button without hesitation.

Thus, the image of the black tower was frozen in time at the moment it bared its fangs.

"It's kind of cute, but it does have some extra value."

Lu Xian had absolutely no confidence in his ability to conquer the Black Tower.

The other party claims to be the smartest person in the world. Even if it's just boasting and narcissism, as an envoy of wisdom, she's not far from being the smartest.

Lu Xian felt that the saying "a wise man does not fall in love" could be perfectly applied to Black Tower.

Even if they say things like "I love you," they definitely have something in mind.

However, if the freedom she seeks is used as a carrot, then even if she knows that Lu Xian is just making empty promises, she will still help Lu Xian do all sorts of things.

After thinking for a moment about how to make use of the Black Tower, Lu Xian also fell asleep.
