Bengtie: My death fueled their madness.

Qi Zhimu had done the work of upgrading the space station's defense system many times before, so he was very familiar with it.

At 18 PM that day, the system successfully completed the deployment of one-third of the new weaponry.

Such high efficiency cannot be achieved simply by giving orders; it requires his personal involvement.

The defense officers in charge of this matter were all stunned. What shocked them about Qi Zhimu was not how clear and precise his command was, but simply... how fast he was.

Once he gets into work mode, most people can't even see the afterimage of him moving; only a very few with good eyesight can catch a glimpse of his movements.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the quantum laser net, which was pre-installed on the right side of the cabin access hub, was installed.

This speed is like flying... no, even flying isn't that fast.

It felt like traveling at near the speed of light, but at the same time, there was a sense of guilt that they were all superfluous, and they almost became mere material transporters.

"Thank you all for your hard get off work. Let's go home now. I'll work overtime for the next couple of days, and I should be able to get it done."

Qi Zhimu clapped his hands twice, and then disappeared.

The defense officers looked at each other, a shared sentiment flashing through their minds.

I knew it! How could someone who gets the station manager to specify a task not have some special skills?

……

Qi Zhimu returned to his office. The mechanical genius Screw Gum was not there, but there were many Black Tower puppets.

As soon as I entered, I heard a chorus of praise.

"Mr. Zhi Mu is a man of imposing stature!"

"Mr. Zhimu is accomplished in both literature and martial arts!"

"Mr. Zhi Mu is a man of great integrity and upright character!"

"Mr. Zhi Mu..."

"Stop, stop, stop—"

Qi Zhimu almost choked on his toes in embarrassment. He quickly stopped the dolls from praising him and focused his gaze on the girl who stood out from the crowd in the center of the dolls.

"Little Tower, did you design these dolls like this?"

"certainly."

Black Tower nodded and raised his index finger.

"I've added new underlying logic to the core modules of all the dolls, so that seeing you is the same as seeing me."

"..."

Does that mean even a doll would praise you like that?

Qi Zhimu didn't know what to say for a moment.

Any genius in the Genius Club has the ability to shake up the entire universe.

If the doll's praise were changed to a female version, Black Tower would be perfectly capable of carrying it off.

However, he was not a genius. Let alone shaking the entire universe, he could only exert a tiny influence, enough to shake some low- to mid-level civilizations.

Killing these right-wing radicals in civilization helps maintain peace.

Black Tower is not a genius who only has brains but no emotional intelligence and can't read people's expressions.

She could see right through Qi Zhimu's thoughts and couldn't help but chuckle.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped into the air towards Qi Zhimu, only to be caught firmly by the latter.

"What nonsense are you thinking? Do you think you're different from me and don't deserve such praise?"

"I'm just a street urchin who goes around causing trouble for bad guys and occasionally takes on jobs to kill those who destroy factions. How can I compare to you?"

"Why not?"

Hei Ta did not agree with Qi Zhimu's words, wrapped his arms around Qi Zhimu's neck, and curled his lips slightly.

"Just ask, and this genius will help you with anything, no matter how difficult. After all, you're mine, so I'm yours too..."

At this point, Hei Ta tiptoed, brought her moist lips close to Qi Zhimu's ear, and breathed softly.

"Isn't that how it makes sense, my dear... Mu, brother~"

"That's the logic..."

Qi Zhimu felt an itch not only in his ears, but also in the very tip of his heart.

Black Tower's words stirred a desire within him, but of course, that desire was suppressed the next second.

Those who lack willpower cannot become sea patrol knights.

"That's right. Charisma is also a kind of strength. As long as it's a power you can control effortlessly, even if it doesn't originate from yourself, doesn't that mean it's not yours?"

Hei Ta unbuttoned Qi Zhimu's collar, revealing her sexy collarbone, with her mark next to it.

"Aren't the representatives, ambassadors, and even leaders of the coalition governments just ordinary people?"

"Aren't there few forces that obey their commands? Although you are not my ambassador or my leader, you are my lover."

"If it weren't for you back then, how could there be the Black Tower we know today?"

Back then, she was a frail girl who wanted to fulfill her ancestors' long-cherished wish and save the Azure Star, but was powerless to do so.

If it weren't for Qi Zhimu sacrificing his life, with a will and perseverance that transcended human limits, to safely send her back, Hei Ta would have died long ago.

and so--

"We don't need to be so clear about things. When I was little, I enjoyed the airtight protection under your wings."

"Now I can be your strong support, no problem at all, right?"

"...Well..." Qi Zhimu hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Which one?" Black Tower asked in return.

"Hey, someone said the same thing to you before, and you know who she is."

"Of course I know. That so-called Yelena, you saved her when she was a child. Now she's all grown up and doing well at the company. She wants you to be her boyfriend."

Black Tower curled his lip and said disdainfully:

"A mere company executive? This genius can remove her from office with a single word."

"When it comes to being a kept man, you'll find it most comfortable, reassuring, and delicious to be with me. If you want to compare with this genius, you'd better be of equal status."

"And that big star girl you protected, I think she's a member of the same family, a Harmonious Traveler."

"She's far from it. She can compete with me when she becomes the tuner for the Harmonious Music Ceremony and has enough say in the family."

"That makes sense..." Qi Zhimu fell into deep thought.

His stomach was tough and picky; he disdained to abandon his freedom to live off a woman.

But if someone is a kept man and lives off him... can living off someone's ability really be considered living off someone?

Ah… I suddenly feel a bit ashamed of my double standards…

But... Qi Zhimu inadvertently made a hypothetical assumption—

He dared not imagine what the future would hold if Black Tower's words came true.

Imagine a robin becoming the tuner of the Harmonious Music Festival, summoning the embodiment of harmony to descend and bearing the power of the messenger.

Or perhaps Toppa's exceptional business acumen will make him a guardian of the company's operations, ready to face the Black Tower...

Ok.

Black Tower still has the advantage.

Not only does he hold the identity of a Star God Envoy, but he is also a genius, giving him double the influence.

While envoys may be as numerous as dogs, geniuses are different; in some ways, they are even more valuable than star god envoys.

Want to fight Black Tower in a chaotic battle... unless you're also a genius.

Thinking of this, Qi Zhimu chuckled inwardly.

Ha, how could that be? Where would he get so many talented female confidantes?

"Brother Mu~~"

Black Tower's tone suddenly changed.

Qi Zhimu's heart skipped a beat.

She only uses this sweet and coquettish tone when she wants to do something specific.

My gaze focused ahead, and sure enough, I saw a beautiful face with slightly flushed cheeks, a strand of hair behind her ear, staring at me with an inexplicable smile.

While he was thinking, all the dolls in the office quietly left, leaving only the two of them in the large office.

"What's wrong?"

"Naturally, we should consolidate our advantages..."

"Consolidate your advantage... Little Tower! What are you trying to do?"

"think……"

"It's not quite right here... um—"
