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

Cheng Xiao's basement adventure didn't last long.

Because the Black Tower contacted them again.

[Black Tower]: Cheng Xiao, the simulated universe has reached a critical moment, you have to come and help, right?

【乘逍】: To await orders.

With Black Tower's request, even Jingliu and the others couldn't stop Cheng Xiao.

After all, they all owe Black Tower a huge favor.

However, Cheng Xiao sensed something was wrong as soon as he arrived at the Black Tower Space Station.

Black Tower and Screw Gum stood side by side, with Cheng Xiao facing them.

"As soon as I arrived at this space station, I discovered at least two problems."

"First of all, you said you'd start a project, but where's the stuff? Are you kidding me?"

Screw Gum whispered:

"I'm sorry, we..."

Cheng Xiao interrupted:

"Secondly, I came to the space station to help out, and there's not even a seat? Shouldn't there at least be some basic etiquette for receiving guests?"

Black Tower said impatiently:

"Alright, alright, stop it. It's just a seat. Luosi, bring Chengxiao a chair over, and pour him a glass of water while you're at it."

Cheng Xiao said with dissatisfaction:

"What do you mean by 'just'? What do you mean by 'incidentally'? I'm telling you, lady with the pointed hat, if you run a space station and you don't pour water for your guests, how much kickback do you get? If you pour one less cup of water for each guest, that's one hundred less cups of water for a hundred guests. I don't even want to think about how much that adds up to in a year!"

Black Tower's face turned green. Pointy hat? How dare they say that to her!

Cheng Xiao said disdainfully:

"Alright, I think my words have touched your souls. I won't say any more. Bring up the project."

However, Black Tower's face was grim, and he gritted his teeth:

"Ride! Be carefree!"

Fortunately, Screw Gumu intervened to mediate, otherwise Black Tower would have given Cheng Xiao a good taste of a genius's biting power today.

After some playful fighting, Black Tower took out a virtual screen and started tapping and banging on it, creating a spherical electronic model in front of him.

"The prototype of the simulated universe is complete. It took us countless precious resources and materials to create. However, this first version is still unstable and we need your help."

"Tell me, how can I help?"

Black Tower snapped his fingers, and patterns of destiny appeared.

"The most difficult thing in simulating the universe is not the naturally evolving universe, but replicating the celestial gods with data."

"The machine head is alright, I've seen it twice and have experience with it, but as for the other Star Gods, it will take decades or even longer to deduce them."

Screw Gum then said:

"Turning stillness into movement is the fastest way."

Cheng Xiao nodded: "I understand. Let's begin. What do you want me to do?"

ScrewGum quickly used code to construct the framework for the Star God [Lan].

"Very few in the world have seen the face of God, and we cannot describe the appearance of other gods. You can restore the framework of this code so that you can see the face of the gods with your own eyes."

Heta added:

"The resurrected god will act on its own, but it is based on the operation of the simulated universe. I can obtain a complete dynamic of a star god by its operation and trajectory, and then use data to replicate it."

"Now, Chengxiao, put your consciousness into it and try to recover."

Cheng Xiao did as instructed. He blinked, and his consciousness found itself in a dim universe filled with stars.

The [Rat] talisman begins to operate, and the star god [Lan] is revived.

The noble, azure-blue centaur raises its longbow, draws its bow, and nocks an arrow, the arrow gleaming like stars.

Black Tower's excited voice echoed in his mind, and a rounded doll with Black Tower's features appeared on Cheng Xiao's shoulder.

"This is the Storm! The hunting god is indeed majestic, Screw! Quickly check the rules of fate and its operational status."

A doll with the characteristics of Screw Gum appears, its small, soft hands typing code.

"It's very stable. This is the true god. Perhaps we can directly create Destiny Walkers in this way."

Black Tower immediately rejected it:

"No! That's too risky. Precisely because they are real gods, they are uncontrollable. Even the data we simulated later couldn't be calculated by the gods themselves, let alone the real ones!"

As the two were discussing, Cheng Xiao took the initiative to greet them.

"Brother Lan, thank you for the big rocket last time, otherwise I would have really been in trouble."

Lan didn't speak, but just fired arrows wildly. After several more arrows, the flying stars formed a magnificent meteor shower in the simulated universe.

"Hey~ Brother Lan even set off fireworks for us."

Black Tower quickly said:

"Quickly withdraw your power! This is your resurrected true star god! Are you going to destroy the simulated universe?!"

Cheng Xiao quickly withdrew the power of the talisman, and Lan also transformed from a god back into a bunch of data.

However, the power that had just been unleashed also caused enormous damage to the simulated universe.

Black Tower said gloomily:

"The code I wrote overnight... I saved three Amber Era crystals... and they're all ruined!"

Cheng Xiao asked curiously:

What is Longjing Stone?

ScrewGumm's answer:

"The basic material used to build the barriers in the simulated universe is sturdy and highly expandable. The force just now damaged about a third of this area... It's worth about 30 billion credits."

"Taking away the young master?!"

"Oh my god, why didn't you say so earlier!"

Screw Gum: "There is no obligation to inform."

The Black Tower is enraged! The tower is enraged!

"Cheng Xiao! Pay me back now!"

"Screwgoom, save me!"

"Sorry, I have no obligation to save you."

Of course, in the end, Cheng Xiao directly used the magical [Horse] talisman to fix it.

Black Tower became even more excited.

"It can be repaired even when it's shattered to pieces? That's incredible! Doesn't that mean we can mess with it however we want? Since it can be repaired anyway?"

As an intelligent machine, ScrewGumm reacts more strongly.

"Repair... If the android's head and other vital components are damaged, you can repair them directly. Then... wouldn't that mean that with the Riding Wanderer, androids would no longer be subject to death?"

If simulating the universe weren't the primary task, the two geniuses would have found fault with Cheng Xiao again.

Of course, I'll write it down in my notebook first.

The experiment continued. After the Black Tower recorded [Lan]'s data, the next person was [Pharmacist].

Cheng Xiao was somewhat unwilling, but was still forced to do as he was told.

[Pharmacist] Once he recovers, he will display countless branches and leaves and come to ride the breeze.

He may want to escape, but within the simulated universe, he has more control than anyone else.

Black Tower advised:

"This is part of the research, Cheng Xiao, just give in to her. Whose embrace do you think you rejected? That's the Goddess of Abundance!"

Helpless, Cheng Xiao was tightly embraced by several arms of the [Pharmacist].

Though not strong, her gentle touch made it impossible for her to break free.

Green fluorescent light flickered on Cheng Xiao's body, and countless branches grew out, only to be suppressed and faded by the [Horse] and [Tiger].

The pharmacist's kind eyes were even more gentle.

"A hug...so warm, so...happy..."

A melodious voice echoed, and He held a red pill in His hand.

He wanted to feed Riding Free.

Cheng Xiao turned his head away, not giving him a chance.

The pharmacist had no choice but to continue holding him.

Cheng Xiao found it troublesome, while Fu Li, far away, was secretly watching.

This really needs to be recorded.
