Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

"I never expected that someone with my level of knowledge would be welcomed in this sacred place that represents scholarship and wisdom."

As they walked, Lin Yuan joked with Alan beside him.

"Uh... Mr. Lin Yuan is too modest. As the representative of the market development department, you must be a top student from a prestigious university, right?"

"Oh, I graduated from the company's internal school, maybe it's considered... an associate's degree?"

Seeing the conflicted look on Alan's face as he struggled to find a response, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile.

At the end of the corridor, a sealed door stood in front.

Unlike the roads in the game, the main gate in front of you is the official road to the space station, rather than the route that requires passing through many compartments.

Visitors can directly access the space elevator through the door in front of them.

But at this moment, Lin Yuan's attention was not on this.

On one side of the gate, a little girl with gray-purple hair and a small hat stood quietly. (What color is Black Tower's hair, anyway?)

“Mr. Lin, this is Lady Black Tower’s doll. Lady Black Tower sometimes logs on through it, but it is in standby mode most of the time unless there are special circumstances.”

The two walked up to the black tower doll. Lin Yuan immediately showed interest and examined it carefully.

"Mr. Lin... Miss Estella is still waiting for you. If you wish to see Lady Black Tower, you can ask her..."

Seeing Lin Yuan's keenly observed expression, Alan wondered what he was thinking.

However, he still spoke up to remind Lin Yuan to avoid him developing any ideas about the Black Tower puppet.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a clear female voice.

Suddenly, the black tower doll, which had been facing away from the two of them, turned around, raised her head, and stared at Lin Yuan with wide eyes.

"What are you looking at... to make yourself look tall?"

...........

Chapter 156 Open up the situation

Hearing the familiar and direct voice coming from the doll in front of him, Lin Yuan felt a deep sense of warmth.

Although his tone was somewhat impolite, he knew that this was the most approachable genius.

He took a small half-step forward and then bowed in greeting.

"It's an honor to meet you, Genius Club #83, Master of the Black Tower Space Station, Solver of the Lone Wave Algorithm, Savior of the 19th World..."

"Stop, stop, stop! There's no room for so many people here!"

Little Black Tower ruthlessly interrupted him.

She looked Lin Yuan up and down, her eyes flickering slightly.

"Who are you, my new follower?"

Upon hearing this, Alan quickly stepped forward and introduced, "Ms. Heita, this is a representative from the company's marketing department."

"Company? Why is it a company again? Didn't you send a representative before, that young lady, what was her name?"

Alan was taken aback upon hearing this.

Lin Yuan stepped forward with a smile:

"Ms. Black Tower, just like the Genius Club, although the company is united under the banner of [Storage Protection], each of us has our own responsibilities and missions."

"Oh, I see. Please, this is the Black Tower Space Station, not your meeting room for infighting. My time is very precious."

"Of course...of course."

Seeing the impatience on Heita's face, Lin Yuan's smile remained unchanged.

"Besides seeing how we can help the space station, I've also brought a rare treasure from the galaxy, which I've heard is a collector of unusual items. I hope we can reach an agreement to conduct joint research."

I think even the well-informed and extremely knowledgeable Ms. Black Tower would find this item interesting.

"Stop with the pointless flattery, but kid, you do have good taste~"

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Xiao Heita's eyes lit up with interest.

"Take a look and let me see what treasure it is. If you're going to try to fool me with some junk, then you'd better go back to where you came from."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan took a few steps back, gesturing for Alan to move further away.

The 'Xuan Yi' bracelet on his wrist glowed slightly, and a container suddenly appeared on the ground.

Upon seeing the sudden appearance, Alan's pupils contracted sharply, and his hand involuntarily moved towards the weapon.

"Relax, Section Chief Alan, there is no danger."

Seeing Alan about to call for backup at the slightest disagreement, Lin Yuan gently comforted him.

On the other side, Little Black Tower had already squatted down and was examining it carefully.

"What is this... a star core? No, wait..."

Little Black Tower's voice gradually became more excited.

"Stable characteristics, even the effects of the rifting are suppressed. So, this is a completely inactive star core? There seems to be another power... incredible... how did they manage that?"

The little black tower suddenly raised its head.

"You did it, and you know why?"

Lin Yuan neither confirmed nor denied this, but simply smiled faintly.

"I heard that something went wrong with the core of the space station, so I specially sent this to fill the gap. Ms. Black Tower... are you satisfied?"

You are free to study this star nucleus at will; all related funding and resources will be provided by our market development department.

All you need to do is share your research findings with us. There are still many worlds in the galaxy affected by stellar cores waiting to be explored. And you will be the savior of these worlds.

"Don't give me that 'save the world' stuff... I'm sick of it, it's boring."

Little Black Tower curled his lip.

"But I'll gladly accept this. Cooperation, right? Approved. Go talk to Está. But... first, bring this star core to my office... Alan, lead the way."

After Xiao Heita finished speaking, he took one last deep look at Lin Yuan and then remained silent.

"Uh... Mr. Lin, Ms. Black Tower has logged off. I'll take you to Ms. Black Tower's office."

Seeing that Lin Yuan was still staring at the small black tower, Alan urged him softly.

The way things unfolded truly exceeded his expectations.

..........

Of course, Lin Yuan did not expect things to proceed so smoothly.

He originally planned to use his silver tongue to persuade Estádio to meet the Black Tower, and then use his persuasive words to achieve cooperation.

But to his surprise, the first thing he encountered after disembarking from the warship was the Black Tower doll, which immediately caught his attention.

Is this how protagonists are treated?

In any case, it seems that my preparations have come in handy.

The star core he took out was the one he had refined using the Void Calamity Sun on the planet Sith.

Its value lies not in the star core itself, but in the refining power and the power of the [foundation] contained within it.

Lin Yuan believed that for a genius, the allure of this power was unparalleled.

After the agreement is reached, the market development department will not be foolish enough to give up this opportunity.

In this way, Black Tower obtained the things it was interested in and the funding, the Market Development Department reached a cooperation agreement with a genius renowned throughout the universe, and Lin Yuan, with the help of the department's resources and Black Tower's knowledge, analyzed the power of the [Foundation Stone] for him.

This is what we call a win-win-win situation.

As for whether the Black Tower might discover something extraordinary from it, break the singularity, and attract the attention of the Silent Lord, or even the All-Knowing Venerable himself, Lin Yuan was not worried about it.

The foundational power within the star's core is like water without a source; what truly impacts the universe is the star itself, the very foundation upon which existence is built.

And after the past and future are severed, and cause and effect cease to exist for him.

Only after Lin Yuan's present reaches that universe-shaking ending can the "effect" truly be observed.

Furthermore, as representatives of both sides of the determinism of the erudite, the Black Tower could not be so easily influenced.

She also has her mission, which, in the eyes of some observers, is predetermined.

However, Lin Yuan greatly admired and praised Black Tower's courage to sacrifice himself for the future, a feat that was nothing more than a single thought to save the world.

This gift can be considered as a seed.

In the future... it will give the Black Tower a choice.

"This is just the beginning..."

As the space elevator doors slowly closed before his eyes, Lin Yuan thought to himself.

............

"Have you heard? Ms. Black Tower has shown up and even met with the company's representatives!"

“I know, I even saw that female director when she went to her office, but Ms. Black Tower’s time was precious, so we ended the conversation after only a few words.”

"Oh no, look at the group chat, the company has sent another representative. This time, Ms. Black Tower personally met with them on the platform."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, the clerk immediately opened his phone, browsed for a moment, and then began to tremble uncontrollably.

"I hate it!"

He gritted his teeth.

"Ever since I came to the space station, I haven't had a chance to hear Lady Black Tower's teachings, and I missed it again this time! If only I were here! And this guy..."

The indignant clerk shifted his gaze to Lin Yuan's gentle and kind face.

"Why should I? He's certainly handsome, but I'm not bad either, Lady Black Tower... Lady Black Tower..."

Seeing his colleague muttering to himself, the staff member silently took two steps back.

Such little incidents are currently unfolding throughout the space station.
