Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

What? How outrageous is your question?

It's so outrageous that some people suspect this star god might actually live here!

After hesitating for a while, Xing still felt that the probability of a star god existing was higher if he shouted it out in the simulated universe!

She cleared her throat, found a very spacious spot—perfect for a star goddess's entrance—and spoke again with a serious expression: "Ahem... Omniscient—"

"You want to summon the learned scholar?"

The Black Tower directly interrupted the Star.

Xing scratched his head. "Oh, that's true. Sometimes formulas don't work."

"Then what should I say?"

Xing asked Black Tower directly and very seriously.

Black Tower, arms crossed, watched the commotion: "What do you want with him?"

“I made a bet with March 7th, saying I’ve seen all the star gods in your simulated universe. She said she didn’t believe me, that I definitely couldn’t see them, and that I didn’t match up!”

The Black Tower remained silent for two seconds.

The Black Tower abandoned its communication with the stars.

"Alright, you can continue 'summoning,' I'll check the data."

"Alright!" With permission from the person in charge, Xing rolled up his sleeves with even more enthusiasm and got into position again.

Unlike last time, this time she adopted an even more exaggerated pose, pointing one finger to the sky and placing the other hand on her hip, looking exactly like a magical girl in the late stages of chuunibyou: "Great being, Star God! In the name of the Galactic Baseball Man, I command you—to appear!"

"...Didn't you just 'call'? Why did you change the command?" Black Tower couldn't help but complain.

“That’s more imposing!” Xing retorted earnestly.

"That's not how you use 'presence'." Black Tower said speechlessly.

"Then teach me?"

"I'm not as free as you."

Xing chuckled, not caring at all, and was just about to change to an even more outrageous position to continue harassing him when a ripple suddenly appeared in the scene.

The scene before me shifted subtly, but nothing else happened.

There was no attack warning, and no monsters spawned.

It was just... a simple fluctuation?

Xing blinked and subconsciously looked around, but found nothing.

"Black Tower, do you sense anything?"

"......What?"

"Well," Xing hesitated, choosing her words carefully, "I felt like someone was watching me just now?"

Black Tower did not answer immediately.

A few seconds later, her voice rang out again, her tone carrying a strange...subtle quality?

"Nothing happened, you can continue."

Xing scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong, but his attention was quickly drawn to something new.

She was completely unaware that deep within the data deluge of the simulated universe, there was an unseen entity that was slightly turning its head to look in a certain direction—the control panel of the simulated universe.

That's where the Black Tower is located.

And that being stretched out a finger and gently drew a line in the void.

A line of text appeared on the control panel in front of the Black Tower.

Did you call me?

Black Tower stared at the line of text, expressionless, and typed a reply: "Don't come out."

The text disappeared, replaced by a... aggrieved expression?

It's just a simple circle, tilted downwards, like a little person with a pouty mouth.

Black Tower didn't even lift an eyelid.

"You're a star god, why are you acting cute?"

"Miss you."

Black Tower's fingers paused for a moment.

"......Shut up."

".......oh."

Black Tower was delighted.

......

In short, Xing spent the entire afternoon tinkering in the simulated universe.

She tried various approaches, totaling twenty-three different opening lines, and attempted all sorts of ways to "chance" meet people. By the end, not only was her throat practically hoarse, but she was also exhausted.

During this period, she read through the writings of all eight Star Gods.

The results of it?

There is nothing about "existence".

I didn't even see a shadow of it.

"I refuse to accept this!" Xing shouted at the air, hands on her hips. "March, you just wait, next time I'll definitely...!"

"Want to shout for two hours again next time?" Black Tower's voice rang out lazily. "I've collected your test data for today, and I'm very satisfied. You can leave now."

"But I haven't seen the Star God yet..." the raccoon said, feeling very aggrieved.

"Then it doesn't exist," Black Tower said casually.

Xing's eyes widened: "You just told me to keep going!"

"I just want your data," the Black Tower said matter-of-factly. "The immortal Dragon Ancestor roamed the primordial chaos, questioning the existence of 'being,' and for tens of thousands of years received no answer. Do you think you can just shout it out a few times and get it?"

star:"......"

Xing felt like she had been thoroughly played for a fool.

"Rewards doubled."

Xing's expression instantly brightened: "Alright, Ms. Black Tower! I'm off! Call me again next time something like this happens!"

Black Tower ignored her, simply waving his hand to expel Star from the simulated universe.

Inside the space station's cabin, Xing looked at March 7, who was beaming with smugness, with great disappointment.

March 7th nodded thoughtfully.

I knew you couldn't do it!

Xing was silent for two seconds, then hugged March 7 tightly and said with a grin, "Who said I can't do it! I'll definitely do it next time!"

"Anyway, you didn't see it this time!"

"But I got double the reward!" Xing proudly waved the credits in her hand, then casually put away all the other rewards besides the credits, and said very generously, "Come on, I'll treat you to a big meal!"

I won't dwell on March 7th.

Anyway, I didn't really think I'd see the Star God, but having a big meal is pretty good too!

After all, it's a star god! If the star god were really that easy to see, everyone would go to see the star god!

At least that's what I thought before eating the "feast" that Xing mentioned on March 7th.

The space station has finally returned to its former tranquility.

In front of the control panel simulating the universe, Black Tower leaned back in his chair, tapping the armrest with his fingers.

The screen still showed those few lines of conversation.

"Miss you."

"......Shut up."

"......oh."

She stared at Jiang Jiu's response, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.

"miss me?"

Before he finished speaking, the temperature in the control room seemed to change slightly.

An invisible force silently enveloped the entire room, and something unknowingly went from "not existing" to "existing".

The Black Tower did not turn back.

Of course she knew who was behind her.

A pair of hands reached out from behind and gently wrapped around her waist.

Immediately afterwards, a chin rested on her shoulder.

"They're finally gone..." Jiang Jiu's voice was muffled, even carrying a hint of grievance. "I've been waiting for so long."

Black Tower leaned back in her chair, letting him hug her, and said in a flat tone, "Aren't you the Star God? What's wrong with waiting a bit?"

"A little while?" Jiang Jiu buried his face in her neck, his voice even more aggrieved, "It was the whole afternoon... She was shouting, yelling, jumping and hopping around in my territory, it was so noisy, and you wouldn't let me out..."

"Why won't you let me out? Am I some kind of shameful being?"

Black Tower raised an eyebrow: "Time means nothing to you, so what's there to feel aggrieved about?"

Jiang Jiu remained silent.

But he didn't let go; he just quietly held Heita's waist, neither moving himself nor letting Heita move.

Hei Ta waited a few seconds, and seeing that he didn't say anything more, raised an eyebrow: "Not going to say anything?"

"......"

"Are you mute?"
