Chat group, if you have anything to say to my Holy Sword,

"What else? Do you think this is your home?"

A voice that seemed familiar to Ling Xing suddenly rang out.

Xiling stood to the side, smiling as she watched her.

The moment Xing saw Xiling, a sentence blurted out.

"Why are you still here?"

"Oh, you guess?" Xiling was taken aback by the other person's words.

Hehe, I won't guess~

Just as Xiling was about to show the other party her language skills, March 7th ran over with a smile.

"You're finally awake! How are you feeling?"

Xing touched her head. "I don't feel anything's wrong."

"Then why aren't you getting up?" Xiling reached out and pulled Xing up.

Just then, March 7th said with a smile, "Since there's nothing else, Sister Himeko is looking for you. I have something to do, so I'll go take care of it first and won't keep you company."

After leaving those words, March 7th took Xiling's friends away.

He watched as Elena, Houraiji Kusho, and Remyane waved to him excitedly before turning and leaving.

Xiling stroked her chin. "Do you think I've been taken advantage of?" Xiling looked at Xing beside her.

Xing looked at him expressionlessly, remained silent for three seconds, and then answered in a very serious tone:

"...I'm just a baby who's only one day old. Your question is too profound for me to understand."

“That’s true, but one year old is the age when you should be learning. Don’t worry, I’ll have Danheng give you homework every day.” Xiling gave a thumbs up.

Seeing Xing's pained expression, Xiling walked forward, turned around, and smiled at her.

"Let's go, I'll take you to your parents so you don't get lost."

Xingmo followed Xiling silently.

Xiling looked around curiously. Danheng and Kevin were wandering around the space station, and now it was just him and Xing. Xiling turned around and saw Xing's bewildered eyes, and a sense of responsibility welled up in his heart.

The other person is a child! At this time, a reliable adult is needed to answer their questions!

So, Xiling stopped, turned around, and put on what she considered an incredibly reliable smile before speaking:

"Xing~ I see you're full of curiosity about everything around you. Come on, if there's anything you don't understand or want to know, just ask!"

Xing looked up at Xiling's sincere smiling face, then at the strange surroundings. There were indeed too many things she didn't understand. So, without hesitation, she raised her hand and pointed to a huge device at the end of the corridor.

"What is that?" Xing's voice was filled with pure curiosity.

Xiling's smile remained unchanged as she confidently followed the direction of her finger—

The smile froze slightly.

That thing... has a complicated structure... um, I don't recognize it.

“…Uh, I don’t know,” Xiling replied dryly.

Xing raised an eyebrow, her fair finger twirling as she pointed to an inconspicuous device on the wall beside her:

"What about this?"

Xiling looked over again, her smile becoming strained. This thing... the style is somewhat familiar, but...

"...I don't know." Honesty is a virtue, Xiling comforted herself.

Xing blinked and pointed to a slowly moving monitoring robot on the ceiling:

"What about this?"

"...I don't know?" Xiling's tone became hesitant.

"What about that one?"

"...I don't know?" Xiling's voice already carried a hint of self-doubt.

"...So you know absolutely nothing!" Xing's voice rose an octave. "And just now you were all so confident, saying 'Ask away! I know everything!'"

"Hehehe," Xiling laughed awkwardly, then saw a figure in front of her and pointed.

"At least the route I led was fine, right?"

As Xiling led Xing to the center of the platform, the conversation between Himeko and the Black Tower doll seemed to have come to an end. Both of them noticed them simultaneously. Himeko smiled gently, while the doll girl's gaze was precisely locked onto Xing! Her gaze seemed to want to dissect this star core carrier from the inside out.

Xing felt extremely uncomfortable under that penetrating gaze and subconsciously shrank back behind Xiling.

Seeing Xing's reaction, Xiling smiled.

"Hey! Did I disturb you? I brought this guy to you." Xiling waved to the two of them, and only then did Black Tower turn his gaze to Xiling.

Only then did the Black Tower seem to finally notice Xiling's presence. She casually glanced at Xiling.

Hmm? An ordinary person? The energy reaction was unremarkable? The Black Tower puppet was about to look away—

etc! wrong!

A sense of unease made her turn her head sharply back!

This time, the Black Tower doll's eyes shone with an unprecedentedly bright light! It was no longer just casually observing, but rather activating some kind of scanning mode!

Then, the knowledgeable and genius-level Black Tower lady walked quickly to Xiling's side with small, quick steps!

"Huh?" The doll's delicate little face showed obvious, pure confusion and shock. "You... what's going on?!"

The black tower walked around Xiling as if it were studying a rare unearthed artifact, carefully going up and down the entire circle!

"What? What's going on?" Xiling was completely bewildered. He asked, puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

Black Tower ignored Xiling's question; her entire focus was on analyzing Xiling's abnormal state, and she began to mutter unconsciously to herself:

"Anomaly detected... fluctuations in non-standard destiny power? The carrier appears to be an ordinary carbon-based life form... but the energy reaction in the core region... wait! This is not pure imaginary energy at all! The structure... the layers... are completely unprecedented! The origin is unknown!"

"It's more like... a highly condensed projection of pure will with certain directional characteristics?... But how is that possible! There's no trace of destiny on this guy!"

"Contradictory! Abnormal! This is so interesting!" The last sentence was murmured to himself with barely suppressed excitement.

Hoshi walked around the muttering Black Tower and went to Himeko's side. She looked at Black Tower with a puzzled expression and asked Himeko.

"Himeko, who is she? And what happened to her?"

"This is Ms. Black Tower, the true owner of Black Tower Space Station, and a legendary figure ranked 83rd in the Genius Club." After introducing her identity, Himeko watched Black Tower's rare loss of composure with great interest, elegantly resting her chin on one hand, her tone tinged with amusement.

"But the way she is now... I've rarely seen her like this before. It seems that there is something special about our Mr. Xiling that even this genius finds incredible."

Just then, the Black Tower Doll, lost in her own world, suddenly stopped! She pointed a finger at Xiling with the pride and undeniable authority of someone announcing a major discovery:

"Hey! You're special. Come be my guinea pig. Don't worry, nothing will happen, and I'll even pay you handsomely."

Upon hearing the words "extremely generous reward," Xiling's eyes lit up instantly! "Oh? Really? As long as I agree to cooperate with your experiment, you'll definitely pay me a hefty reward? Anything I want?"

Black Tower snapped his fingers crisply, raised his chin slightly, and said confidently, "Of course, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me in the experiment, I will definitely pay you a generous reward. I guarantee it with my name."

However, the longing expression on Xiling's face vanished without a trace the next second, replaced by a calm, even slightly disdainful expression, and his tone was crisp and decisive:

"Oh. Then I refuse."

The smug smile on the Black Tower doll's face froze. After a full two seconds, she suddenly took a step forward, her voice rising eight octaves, filled with disbelief and the anger of being mocked:

"Hey!!! You're kidding me, aren't you! You were clearly really interested just now!!"

Xiling shrugged and spread her hands innocently:

"I may be tempted, but I haven't promised you anything. Is it illegal to express my desire for a generous reward? Or am I just playing you?"

Xiling waved her hand dismissively, "Alright, alright, great Lady Black Tower, you should go study your precious star core instead of trying to take advantage of me, OK?"

Black Tower was so enraged by Xiling's attitude that the joints of the doll were cracking. She pointed at herself and said, "Tsk! Do you even know who I am?! How dare you talk to me like that?"

"The Black Tower, a top genius in the universe, the messenger of the Star God of Wisdom, the master of the space station, right?" Xiling tilted her head and smiled.

"So what? Knowing who you are... and refusing to be your guinea pig, are there any inherent conflicts between these two things?"

The air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere between the two seemed to have changed in some way.

"That Himeko, something seems off!" Hoshi whispered nervously.

Himeko patted Hoshino on the shoulder reassuringly, saying, "Don't worry, I know Black Tower as I do, nothing will happen."

Just then, Black Tower crossed his arms and said with a disdainful look.

"Hmph, do you think you're so precious? Do you think this genius needs you to do experiments? Let me tell you, this genius doesn't care about you at all!"

Black Tower turned to leave, but just then Xiling's voice rang out.

"It's not impossible for me to take a look at it for you."

The steps that were originally moving forward turned into steps backward. Black Tower came to Xiling's side with a smile on his face.

"You should have said so earlier. State your conditions."

She completely forgot what she had just said, and her change of attitude was so quick that Xing didn't even have time to react.

Xiling thought for a moment, and it seemed that he didn't want anything. Well, that's not quite right. Xiling wanted the other party to study his body's data, and he also wanted to understand his physical condition.

"I don't think I want anything. Do you have any suggestions?" Xiling turned to her genius comrade for advice.

Black Tower gave a haughty snort. "The promise of the genius Black Tower is priceless in the universe."

“You’re right.” The other person’s words were genuine, and Xiling really couldn’t think of anything more valuable than that.

“Okay, let’s go with this one.” Xiling smiled and nodded in agreement to the deal.

"Then hurry up and come inside with me, let's start our research now!" Black Tower grabbed Xiling's hand and tried to pull her towards his research room.

"Well, there's no need to rush, I'm not mentally prepared yet."

"What's there to be mentally prepared for? Don't worry, this genius said I'd keep you safe and sound." Black Tower said, patting his chest as he pulled Xiling along.

"Did you forget something?" Xiling turned around and couldn't help but ask Black Tower when she saw a certain baby.

"You dare to question a genius's memory?"

"No, but I have to tell you that I'll be leaving soon. Once I'm gone, you won't have anything to study anymore," Xiling hinted frantically.

Black Tower raised an eyebrow and released Xiling's hand. "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

After leaving those words, she turned around and went back to talk to the two people who were still standing there.

"Is this what genius is? Heh." Xiling shook her head with a laugh, and then she saw that everyone in the chat group was posting all sorts of pictures of the space station, and some were even inviting her to come and see them.

[I Am the Savior]: "Do you think we could build a train like this too!"

[I Am a Witch]: "Xiling, are you done on your end?"

[Warrior Chasing Fire]: "After you finish up over there, come over here and we've found something really powerful!"

[I don't want to be a hero anymore]: "I'm still busy, wait a bit."

After sending the message, Xiling closed the chat group.

The conversation between Black Tower, Himeko, and Hoshi was drawing to a close.

"So? Kid, have you made up your mind?" Black Tower asked nonchalantly, hands on his hips.

"Don't rush things. You can meet with other people first and think about this issue carefully. This may be one of the most important decisions of your life," Himeko gently advised.

The two were discussing whether Xing should stay on the space station or the train.

Xing, who was in the middle of their conversation, scratched her head and turned her gaze to the white figure not far away. As if she had thought of something, she spoke loudly to the figure.

What choice do you think I should make?

No one expected that Xing would ask Xiling, and even Xiling was surprised that Xing would ask her. After a moment of surprise, a smile appeared on Xiling's face.

"Go explore, witness everything you are about to witness, get to know the people you will meet in the future. It would be a waste for you to stay on the space station. You are born to explore."

Hearing what Xiling said, a smile appeared on Xing's face. Without hesitation, she turned to Himeko and asked, "Can I join the train crew?"

Himeko smiled and shook her head. "Welcome to the team."
