Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Lu Ze once again set foot on the Black Tower Space Station.

Of course, not the one that has already moved to near-Earth orbit, but the space station under his feet, which belongs to the Great Black Tower.

"Hey Xingbao, did you really need to come along?"

As Lu Ze walked, he glanced sideways at the enthusiastic figure beside him.

He originally just wanted Xing to help him send him over using the Realm Anchor, but as soon as Xing heard it was about Lu Yao, he immediately put aside what was going on at the Two Phases Paradise and came over, even more enthusiastic than his father.

"This is my sister, of course I had to come," Xing said proudly, raising her chin.

"What about the Two-Phase Paradise? Weren't we supposed to go to some academy to look for clues?"

Lu Ze remembered hearing her mention it before he came, saying that she was going to some academy to find the past of a person named Man Yuan.

"No rush, no rush. It's not too late to go back after we're done here." Xing put her hands behind her head and walked briskly, clearly in a good mood.

Following the coordinates sent by the Great Black Tower, the two took the elevator down to the confinement chamber.

The lighting here is much dimmer than on the upper deck, and the bulkheads are covered with various reinforcement structures.

The corridor is lined with sealed cabins, and through the portholes you can see all sorts of strange and unusual items stored inside.

"I really miss those days..." Xing's gaze swept over the sealed hatches, her tone tinged with a touch of nostalgia. "Back then, I was startled by a swarm of bugs here."

"Don't even mention bugs." Lu Ze got a headache just thinking about bugs. "We just had a bug infestation over there."

"Really? Is it solved?" Xing turned around. "Do you need any help? I'm really good at killing bugs."

"No need, it's already been resolved." Lu Ze waved his hand.

The two chatted idly as they walked through the layers of corridors in the confined compartment, finally stopping in front of a heavy laboratory door.

Xing went straight forward and pushed the door open to enter.

"Hi! Nguyen Mai, we're here!" she greeted warmly.

The laboratory was dimly lit, and a faint aroma of pastries filled the air.

Nguyen Mai was facing away from the door, bending over to record some data on a screen.

Upon hearing Xing's voice, she simply hummed in response, without turning around, her attention remaining focused on the experimental data.

However, when the big black tower saw Lu Ze, its purple eyes lit up instantly.

She walked over in a few steps and looked him up and down.

"Little Lu, I heard you're having a bug problem over there? Like, bugs that can evolve indefinitely?" She held out her hands, directly asking Lu Ze, "Could you get me some samples?"

"I need it too." When Ruan Mei heard the words "infinite evolution," she looked up from the screen and looked at Lu Ze.

Lu Ze helplessly shrugged.

"No, they've all been wiped out. There might still be a few left at Black Tower for research; you'll have to ask her for them."

"That's why she came to you—because she wouldn't give it to me." Big Black Tower gets angry just thinking about it.

She had already asked Black Tower, but that pretentious guy flatly refused.

"Then there's nothing I can do."

Lu Ze shrugged, indicating his helplessness, and silently made a mental note of it.

Afterwards, you can talk to Heita and get some samples from her to give to Daheita, so that the two of them don't have any unpleasantness over this.

"Alright, alright, let's get back to business."

The Great Black Tower didn't dwell on it too much. She turned around and pointed her delicate hand towards the depths of the laboratory.

"Your daughter, there she is."

Lu Ze looked in the direction she was pointing. Deep inside the laboratory stood a cylindrical glass culture chamber.

The cabin was filled with a pale blue liquid, and countless fine pipes extended from the bottom of the cabin, connecting to the surrounding data terminals. The screens constantly displayed data that Lu Ze could not understand.
