What a heartless guy!

[Pshaw, there will come a time when you'll come to us for help. We're here to help you, not to harm you.]

Jiang Jiu ignored the comments. Anyway, with the system monitoring him 24/7, there shouldn't be any problems.

He glanced through it; most of what this memory-taker had in his mind was about infiltration, memory domains, or some other random stuff that he couldn't understand at all.

Can't everyone just speak in very simple and easy-to-understand language?

Riddlers... I hate them the most.

He patiently flipped through the pages for a while longer, and suddenly heard some fragmented sentences.

“Ong… Ross… memory… manipulation…”

Chapter 16 Nguyen Mai's Visit

Jiang Jiu paused slightly with his fingers, then decisively reversed the direction a little.

Looking at the content on the screen, he chuckled softly: "Finally found it."

The next moment, Black Tower's voice rang out from behind.

"What did you find?"

Jiang Jiu turned around and saw Hei Ta sitting on her scepter, holding a long sword in her hand. When she saw Jiang Jiu looking over, she threw the sword at her.

"Alright, go try out this sword. I'd like to see what you've found."

Jiang Jiu blinked.

A longsword that looked extraordinary was thrown over by the Black Tower, along with its scabbard. Just by looking at it, you could tell it was something special.

"For me?"

He gripped the hilt and gently pulled the sword. A flash of cold light appeared. The blade was long and narrow, exuding a chilling aura that seemed to absorb all the surrounding light.

"Let's test the feel of it."

Black Tower had already sat down at the control panel, giving instructions without turning his head, his fingers flying across the virtual keyboard.

Jiang Jiu slightly turned his wrist and twirled his sword.

His movements were somewhat clumsy, but smoother than he had imagined. He tried to infuse a trace of ethereal power into the sword, and the sword hummed as the star pattern on it suddenly lit up with a dim light.

The fourth mirror stared in disbelief at the scene.

"What! Lady Black Tower actually gave you this sword? No... you can actually wield this sword?"

Jiang Jiu also had a great time.

"Is this sword something special? It's quite useful."

The Fourth Mirror grumbled, refusing to reveal the sword's origins: "Hmph... You got off easy. If Lady Black Tower hadn't been unable to use it, how would it have ended up in your hands... Never mind, no, that can't be!"

Jiang Jiu was delighted.

"Then why don't you try to steal it?"

Unable to defeat Jiang Jiu, the fourth mirror grumbled and mumbled as it faced the wall in contemplation.

Wow, they actually make a good couple!

[Black Tower has a sharp eye; this sword is clearly no ordinary weapon.]

[Jiang Jiu's stance... has he practiced before? Didn't he say he was just an ordinary college student? What ordinary person knows how to wield a sword?]

[Believe him? Only a fool would do that. Just wait and see; I think there's more to come.]

But wouldn't this count as owing someone a favor?

Jiang Jiu could also tell that this was a good sword, but... human relationships?

His biggest fear now is not being able to owe people favors, since relationships are built on owing favors.

"Onpharos? The one you're talking about?"

Black Tower rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a while before directly activating the simulated universe and adding a supercomputer to calculate the exact location of Onpharos.

"Correct."

Jiang Jiu walked over and looked at the dense data and code in front of the black tower, suddenly feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"Hmm...any useful information?"

Black Tower hummed in agreement.

“Yes, Onpharos has something more interesting than I thought. Go away and stay somewhere cool. If you don’t like it, let the Fourth Mirror play with you for a while.”

Jiang Jiu blinked.

Alright, I really can't help much in front of a genius.

"Alright, thank you for your sword. I won't bother you any longer."

She turned to Jiang Jiu, her gaze falling on the longsword in his hand. Seeing that the sword was quite obedient, she asked directly, "How is the sword?"

"It's very easy to use."

Jiang Jiu answered truthfully that the sword was indeed as if it had been tailor-made for him.

Black Tower chuckled softly.

Another time, someone said they found this sword easy to use.

"Its name is 'Silent Star,' you can borrow it for now."

Black Tower spoke casually, as if it were nothing more than lending out a pen.

"Of course, if you can completely tame this sword, I can give it to you as well."

Jiang Jiu raised an eyebrow: "That's good? Then I'll definitely do my best to train this sword."

Black Tower waved his hand, already preparing to shoo people away.

Genius research requires a quiet space.

......

So when the Fourth Mirror and Jiang Jiu were kicked out of Lady Black Tower's laboratory, the Fourth Mirror broke down.

"No way!!! Why was I kicked out too? This doesn't make sense! I'm Lady Black Tower's absolute favorite mirror!"

"Oh, I must be dreaming. Everything will be alright after I wake up... Hey? Where are you going?"

Leaving the Black Tower's secret base, the direct route is to the Black Tower's rooms. Jiang Jiu couldn't possibly stay there; he definitely had to go out.

The Fourth Mirror didn't know where to go, so it just followed Jiang Jiu on a whim.

As it drifted along, it kept chattering and babbling in Jiang Jiu's ear, making quite a racket.

"Woof! Woof!"

[Translation: You damn mirror, you're too noisy, just shut up!]

"Woof woof woof~?"

[Translation: Who are you again? Get out of the way! This is my road. If you want to pass, leave your toll.]

Did you hear that? Jiang Jiu is sending money!

Jiang Jiu: "..."

Have these viewers finally gone mad?

They've even started translating what dogs say.

Moreover, Jiang Jiu felt that the accuracy rate of this translation was as high as 0%.

That's really tall, yes, that's right.

"Peipei! Don't call me that!"

Estella suddenly appeared from some corner and squatted down to give Pepe a serious "warning".

Pepe tilted her head, not quite understanding what Estádio was saying.

Estelle stood up, looked at Jiang Jiu, then at the mirror next to Jiang Jiu, and instantly recognized it as the Black Tower's mirror!

Her eyes lit up as she cautiously asked, "Um... Lord Jiang Jiu, have you finished what you did with Ms. Black Tower?"

Jiang Jiu hummed in agreement.

"Not really. Black Tower is a bit busy. She'll probably be in her room for a while, so don't bother her."

The Fourth Mirror chimed in, "Yes! The esteemed Lady Black Tower is engrossed in her greatest research! Do not disturb her under any circumstances!"

"What experiment?"

Estella instinctively asked a question in return.

The fourth mirror paused for a moment, it really wasn't quite sure, it had been too busy arguing with Jiang Jiu to know the specifics.

"This...this...how can we just talk about Ms. Black Tower's research? You wouldn't understand her research anyway, so let's not talk about it."

Estella was conflicted after hearing what the Fourth Mirror said.

"Then... even if Lady Ruan Mei comes, won't you inform Lady Black Tower?"

"Nguyen Mai?"

Genius Club #81, Nguyen Mai.

Jiang Jiu was just about to play a couple of rounds with Pepe, but upon hearing this name, he immediately lost his desire to play.

Why is she here?

Estella shook her head.

"Your Excellency Ruan Mei is currently in her laboratory. Don't you really need to inform Ms. Black Tower?"

【Ruan Mei? Why is Ruan Mei here? Shouldn't it be the king of the Snail Star who's here?】
