I awakened to be a menace at the start of the game, and my parents sent me to the cherry blossom vie

Dead silence.

A deathly silence that lasted for tens of seconds.

If the previous humiliations were like the Yangtze River, then at this moment, the name "coal ball" is like a tsunami that engulfs the entire universe, instantly shattering its rationality.

【I'm not called Coal Ball!!! I am...】

"Protest invalid."

Lin Fan interrupted it directly.

"Let's call him Coal Ball, how cute and down-to-earth! Come on, call him 'Master' so you can hear me."

【…】

【Don't even think about it!!!】

"Oh ho? Still not convinced?"

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, a thought forming in his mind.

The next second, Lin Fan had a thought, and the little thing he was holding in his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

It gives the impression that it might explode at any moment.

[You bastard... Stop! Stop it now! You monster!!!]

The coal ball was going crazy. It never imagined that this bastard in front of it could be so shameless.

Completely disregarding their own life or death.

"Call me master."

【…】

The coal ball's body fluctuations became increasingly intense.

"Should we call out or not?"

【……Owner……】

These two words, like two towering mountains, were squeezed out with great difficulty from between the teeth of the coal ball.

"That's good, isn't it?"

Lin Fan stopped giving it the mental command with satisfaction, and casually stroked its fur.

"If you behave well from now on, you'll get candy."

The coal ball lay motionless in Lin Fan's palm, as if it were already a useless ball.

It felt as if its entire worldview had been utterly crushed and flushed down the toilet today.

These two-legged beasts are utterly shameless; they have absolutely no sense of decency.

"Okay, stop pretending to be dead."

Lin Fan patted it.

"Get to work. Stabilize this tower for me first."

The coal ball moved weakly.

The next moment, at the very bottom of the entire prison tower, the enormous black energy core began to pulsate again in a gentle manner.

Streams of stable and pure energy flowed upwards along the broken chains, like countless skilled craftsmen repairing and reinforcing the internal structure of the entire tower.

Furthermore, the chaotic mental and violent energy turbulence within the tower gradually began to subside.

Seeing that it was about time, Lin Fan did not let the other party continue.

"Alright, that's all for now."

As he spoke, he put it in his pocket, leaving only its little head sticking out.

"Now it's time to fulfill my promise. Come on, I'll show you what I'm capable of today."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped into the air.

His body shot upwards rapidly like a cannonball.

Coal Ball poked its head out of the pocket, looking down at the impregnable cage it had reinforced itself, and then at Lin Fan's profile.

In its beady black eyes, besides resentment and humiliation, there seemed to be something else...

It was a complex emotion that it couldn't quite explain.

Perhaps following this madman isn't all bad?

The moment the thought popped into my head, it was ruthlessly extinguished.

Do not!

When I get the chance, I will tear him to pieces!

The middle level of the tower houses the core control room.

The girl was pacing back and forth restlessly, glancing every now and then at the bottomless entrance to the passage.

"It's been an hour... why hasn't he come up yet?"

Her voice was filled with deep worry, "I hope nothing bad has happened?"

"Rest assured, the vital signs of the person with core privileges are stable."

At this moment, the electronic eye of 734 flashed red, dutifully reporting its findings.

"Stability doesn't mean safety!" Daida retorted.

"don’t worry."

Noah stood to the side, her expression calm, but her clenched fists betrayed her nervousness.

"We should trust him. He's not the kind of person who would make pointless sacrifices."

That being said, the longer it went on, the more uneasy they felt.

Just then, the electronic eye of 734 suddenly emitted a bright blue light.

"Alert! Rapid stabilization detected within the tower's internal structure!"

"What?"

Noah was startled.

"Energy fluctuations have returned to a safe threshold, the spatial rift is healing... a target is approaching at high speed!"

Just as the 734 notification sound faded, a figure leaped out of the dark passage below and landed nimbly in the center of the control room.

When I saw that figure suddenly fall...

"Lin Fan!"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, what could possibly be wrong?"

Lin Fan patted her on the back and said with a smile, "The signal was bad down there, so we stayed a little longer."

"Very good……"

Although Sato Saori wasn't as enthusiastic as the dorky girl, she was clearly relieved.

Noah strode forward, looking Lin Fan up and down: "What exactly happened down there? We detected..."

But before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on Lin Fan's breast pocket.

A small, snow-white head peeked out of the pocket, its big, dark eyes looking around curiously and warily.

"So...so cute!"

The naive girl was the first to react; her eyes instantly turned into stars, and she cautiously extended her finger.

"Lin Fan, what's this? Is it a hamster? Can I touch it?"

"Oh, this."

Lin Fan took the coal briquettes out of his pocket, grabbed them by their long ears, and casually said,

"It's a new member of our family; it's called a coal ball."

【I'm not called a lump of coal!!!】

An angry roar resounded in Lin Fan's mind.

Lin Fan remained expressionless and flicked the coal ball's head with his other hand.

"Look, it's quite lively."

"Coal briquettes?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the others immediately turned strange.

They looked at the harmless, adorable creature in front of them, and then at Lin Fan.

All in my mind, I wondered, what exactly is the basis for this lump of coal?

However, before they could speak, Lin Fan recounted the origin of the coal briquettes and the general situation that had occurred below.

They were all dumbfounded when they learned that the little guy in front of them was the culprit behind everything.

They couldn't imagine it.

Or perhaps they simply couldn't connect this little thing with the terrifying power of the prison tower.

"We just had a friendly discussion."

Lin Fan, however, continued nonchalantly,

"It agreed to behave itself from now on and take on the responsibility of maintaining the stability of the tower. In exchange, I let its clone go out for some fresh air."

Noah: "..."

Saori Sato: "..."

The group glanced at Lin Yifan, then at the reluctant little guy.

Are you sure it's friendly negotiation and not a threat?

"Oh, right."

Lin Fan looked at Noah, "During the time I was down there, was anything unusual happening outside?"

No, not at all.

Noah shook his head.

This place is bad enough as it is now, what could possibly get worse?

However, they didn't know that they actually had nothing on their side.

But Lin Jianguo on Earth encountered enormous trouble.
