Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

"Mr. Luze, I heard from Ms. Black Tower that you are conducting an interesting experiment."

The steady, magnetic sound of screws echoed in the warehouse.

He skipped over the previous topic of "cowardice and lust" and went straight to the point.

This is consistent with his style.

As a mechanical emperor, he is not without emotions; on the contrary, he is an extremely emotional android.

That's why he knew better than anyone that the best way to get through the awkward situation quickly was to come up with a topic that would interest everyone.

"As far as I know, you and another Black Tower lady are trying to steal the authority of the Supreme God through Miss Silver Wolf's ether programming technology."

"This is... um... a rather elegant solution." Screw Gum paused slightly, each word he uttered sounding as if he had considered it countless times.

After listening, Lu Ze couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking, "He truly lives up to his reputation as a mechanical gentleman; his words are always so pleasant to hear."

Unlike a certain Black Tower lady, who speaks as if she's attacking people, every word is barbed.

He scratched his cheek sheepishly, his tone unusually shy:

"Mr. Screws, you can just call me Lu Ze. I don't deserve to be called 'Mr.'"

"Similarly, Luze, you can also call me Screw Gum, or even Screw like Lady Black Tower does."

Screw Gum was communicating with Lu Ze on an equal footing with him.

"Then I'll call you Screw Gum," Lu Ze thought for a moment and chose this compromise.

Neither too distant nor too intimate, striking the perfect balance between the current distance between them.

"That's how it should be," Screw Gum nodded in agreement.

"Hey... I'm telling you two, how long are you going to keep up this polite formality?" Big Black Tower impatiently interrupted the two's back-and-forth exchange of social etiquette.

"You can call me anything, whatever your name is."

The fact that they have to be so polite over a simple form of address is something that Daheita finds completely incomprehensible.

After all, she was the kind of person who disliked trouble so much that she could simply name herself "Big Black Tower." For her, a name was just a label, something that could distinguish one person from another.

"Then let's get straight to the point," Screw Gum said, following the suggestion of the Great Black Tower.

Based on his understanding of the Great Black Tower, if they continued to ramble on about topics unrelated to the main point, the woman might lose patience and log off on the spot.

He slightly raised his hand, his fingertips tracing an elegant arc in the air.

"First, I'd like to confirm something."

"Luz, how much authority do you want to obtain from the Supreme God?"

"What's the difference?" Lu Ze asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Of course there's a difference."

Daheita took over the conversation and started explaining things to Lu Ze, a complete novice who knew nothing about the subject.

"This directly relates to the difficulty level of this operation. Stealing an ordinary player's account and seizing administrative access to the entire system are completely different levels of workload."

At this point, the Great Black Tower glanced at Lu Ze with a suspicious look.

"You two didn't even consider this question from the beginning, did you?"

Her purple eyes, filled with disbelief, darted back and forth between Lu Ze and Black Tower twice.

Black Tower felt uncomfortable under her gaze and pointed at Lu Ze without hesitation.

She acted swiftly and without the slightest hesitation, shifting the blame with an air of self-righteousness:

"It has nothing to do with me; the plan was his idea."

Lu Ze, who was identified on the spot, was also completely bewildered.

So there are so many intricacies involved here?

He thought that as long as he had a good idea and found a few experts with relevant expertise, he could easily get it done with a little effort.

Now I realize that after all this time, he hadn't even figured out the most basic thing: "what he wanted."

"It's alright. I've already calculated three plans. Lu Ze, you can choose the one that best suits your situation to implement."

Screw Gum showed no anger at Lu Ze's naiveté; his tone remained calm and gentle, as if he had anticipated this situation.

Lu Ze immediately raised his head, looking at the mechanical gentleman with gratitude in his eyes.

As expected of you, Screw Gum.
