Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

[Black Tower]: The latest research results are out. I have deciphered the nature of the soul medium. The truth is in my hands!

【Cheng Xiao】: Really?

[Black Tower]: This is the first time I've started to believe in metaphysics. These strange spells can actually unleash so many properties of energy. Could it be that the spells themselves are a special kind of rule-based formula?

【Cheng Xiao】: What are the actual results of the research?

[Black Tower]: Exceptionally good, but it's also caused some trouble. Sigh, I'm logging off; my brain needs a rest too.

[Cheng Xiao]: Huh? Hey! Explain yourself! What trouble have you gotten yourself into?!

(Black Tower is offline. The following is an automated reply. Please do not disturb unless necessary. If you have a message, please leave a message. I will not read it even if I have time.)

"..." Cheng Xiao looked at Yu Zhao helplessly. This was not the first time Black Tower had done this. Every time she chatted, she would say she was going offline and then log off, leaving him with some riddles to ponder.

I wanted to leave her a message, but I found that Yu Zhao's screen was spinning again, and the signal was very bad.

"Damn it, the signal at the front is terrible. I didn't have this problem when I was chatting with Jingliu and the others."

Just as Cheng Xiao was complaining about the shoddy workmanship of the Immortal Boat's gateway, a Cloud Rider came running to report:

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, a package has been sent to you from Luofu. It's a bit large, so we didn't handle it ourselves. Please sign for it."

"A package? I didn't buy anything."

Cheng Xiao was initially puzzled, then sighed helplessly and rubbed his forehead: "Could it be that Bai Heng used my account to buy some random stuff online again?"

The supplies were transported to the front lines. Normally, externally purchased express deliveries are not allowed to reach the front lines, but the strength of Heyun Logistics lies in the fact that its logistics personnel are actually on the battlefield. They are in charge of these transport ports, so they deserve to make money.

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, this is your package. Please sign for it."

After Cheng Xiao finished the formalities, he looked at the half-person-high cardboard box with a puzzled expression. What exactly was inside?

Bai Heng had previously bought small jewelry or incense items, this was the first time he had seen something this big.

When I picked it up, it was surprisingly heavy.

Then Cheng Xiao simply used the [Chicken]'s telekinetic power to control the cardboard box to float behind him and take it back.

【Cheng Xiao】: Bai Heng, what did you buy again? Why is it so big?

[Bai Heng]: Huh? I didn't buy anything? I've been spending your money lately, I'm starting to feel a little bad~

【Cheng Xiao】: Who will send me a package?

[Bai Heng]: Fox doesn't know~

Out of curiosity, Cheng Xiao opened the cardboard box after returning to the camp, and to his surprise, it contained a small black tower figure!

The delicate-looking little black tower lay in a cardboard box filled with white foam. If it weren't for the intricate structure visible at the joints of its limbs, one would really think it was a living person.

"Is this what Heita looked like when she was little? I remember she said it was about 70% like her. Is 70% really that good-looking? I've seen her in person and she's not that exaggerated."

"Huh? You dare question my beauty?!"

Little Black Tower suddenly woke up at some point and glared angrily at Cheng Xiao.

"Lady Black Tower is unparalleled in the world, Lady Black Tower is exceptionally intelligent, Lady Black Tower is stunningly beautiful."

"Tsk, it's always the same old story. But I guess I'll forgive honest people."

The little black tower stood up from the cardboard box and walked out, shaking off the foam stuck to its body.

"I calculated the logistics time, and it should arrive around this time, just as I expected."

Cheng Xiao asked curiously, "Why did you send a doll over?"

"Tch, it's all your Immortal Ship's fault. The wartime regional network restricts access to the external network. This genius doesn't have that much time to hack into the network administrator."

"Besides, some things can't be described to you in words; a puppet is the only way to do it."

"After you're done talking, send the doll back to the Black Tower Space Station. Don't break it; it's very valuable!"

"You said the internet is bad, so why don't you just leave it here so we can stay in touch?"

"That makes sense. Alright, you can return it after your battle is over."

After saying this, Xiao Heita suddenly stopped responding. Cheng Xiao thought that Heita had withdrawn her consciousness, but then he found that the corner of his clothes had been tugged.

"The Black Tower?"

"Hahaha! That's right! It's this genius."

The Black Tower's soul floated in mid-air, its face full of smugness.

"This genius can already manipulate souls, and even slightly interfere with reality. That's all thanks to quantumization."

To satisfy the Black Tower's experiments, Cheng Xiao separated a portion of the [Sheep]'s power for her. The Black Tower dreamed of deciphering the power of the talisman. If this rule was truly a calculable formula, the Black Tower could create new miracles.

However, it is obvious that the Black Tower, which does not understand magic, cannot decipher the runes. It is like a beautifully packaged pre-made meal: you know what the ingredients are, but you don't know the cooking process.

However, Black Tower was an extraordinary genius. Cheng Xiao opened the path of her soul. Regardless of how it was opened, Black Tower simply began to stuff all kinds of research related to consciousness and memory into her, which really allowed her to develop new functions.

"Previously, out-of-body experiences couldn't affect reality, but now they can! This is a huge success!"

"I even captured a Memory Receiver specifically for this purpose. Sure enough, your power and memories resonate! It's just a pity that you gave me too little energy, which means I can't use it continuously. Give me some more."

"You want more? If it's just for experiments, you shouldn't need that many, right?"

Upon hearing this, Black Tower surprisingly showed an embarrassed expression.

"Well, how should I put it? This genius went too far and went to the quantum domain to bully Senior #23. After all, your soul power is too domineering. You have no idea what that senior's tone was like at the time. He wanted to get to the bottom of things."

"So... I used too much power, and my senior has taken notice of me, hahaha~"

"How can you laugh like that?! That's dangerous!"

Black Tower coughed lightly: "It's alright. It's easy to get into the quantum domain but difficult to get out. There won't be any trouble for now."

"I can't give you any more power. I'm really scared of the curiosity and research drive of geniuses, who are completely reckless. It's better to go to Sluggle than to you; at least he has some sense of propriety."

Black Tower was alarmed upon hearing this: "How can that be! Screws is so dim-witted, how could he possibly be thirty percent as efficient as me? Look, I've developed a new approach for you, combining power and destiny, and instead of being grateful, you want to kick me to the curb? No way!"

Cheng Xiao ignored Black Tower's complaints and snapped his fingers: "Little Ha, come out and take care of this."

A mask popped out from her chest, revealing a mournful face: "Waaah, they always come to me for hard labor. If this keeps up, I'll turn into a haggard old woman!"

"Hurry up, I'm already being lenient by not charging you rent."

Black Tower was stunned. Pleasure Mask? Wait, what is Little Ha?

"Hahaha, Benha is nicknamed 'Little Aha' by his fellow locals, didn't expect that, did you? Little Xiao created Benha~"

"What?! Creation? Aha?"

Suddenly, Little Ha produced a giant hammer, spun it 360 degrees, and shouted: "This hammer is huge, here you go!"

The Black Tower's soul was forcibly returned to Cheng Xiao's body, and the Little Black Tower was killed by Xiao Ha's hammer. It seems that it won't bother Cheng Xiao for a while.

At this moment, in the Black Tower Space Station, Black Tower, whose soul had been returned to his body, sat up from the bed. There was no displeasure in his eyes, but rather intense curiosity.

"A Star God? Could that really be Ah-ha? No way! That's a Star God! Gods are the greatest secret of this starry sky, how did Cheng Xiao manage to do it? I really want to know!"

However, Heita, who had been temporarily blocked by Cheng Xiao, could not contact him at all, and his heart felt like it was being scratched by cat claws.

"Ah! I really want to analyze it, I really want to understand it, I have so many questions to ask, I'm so frustrated!"

"I've got it! Let's find ScrewGumm. Since they won't let me do the research, I'll just recruit ScrewGumm!"
