Star Iron, after using the mod to make the Big Black Tower dark, the game became real

Jiang Wei took out the dark purple Desire Crystal and handed it to the Great Black Tower.

"First, the good news: the new crystals you've produced are of excellent quality, and you might be able to research something amazing."

The crystal surface is warm, and a light sniff reveals the fragrance of the Great Black Tower. Touching it gives one the illusion of peering into the soul of the Great Black Tower.

Perhaps it was because of her childbirth that the high-grade aphrodisiac crystal resembled her, suggesting a connection in some mysterious way.

The Great Black Tower accepted the crystal.

"It feels a bit strange to the touch."

“I also think that if you want to study it, you may need to spend more time.”

"The psychic abilities within this crystal are far more powerful than the original crystal; I can decipher it without your help."

The Great Black Tower has discovered a surprise.

At least I won't get another beating.

Avoiding Jiang Wei's gaze, she put the crystal away and slipped into her office to study it.

……

On that day, Jiang Wei resonated with the Great Black Pagoda in "immersive mode".

She was truly dedicated; she studied for an entire day, exhausting herself more than a dozen times, before finally completing the interpretation of the high-grade aphrodisiac crystal.

Temporary scientist "Big Black Tower" has completed a research project, unlocking a rare technology: Dream Labyrinth.

The name doesn't reveal its effect.

[Event: The issue of how to handle the real world]

[Description: The building blocks have been removed, the tower is crumbling, and now is the time to rejoice. We can open a breach in the galactic realm of the real world, from which dream elements and dream matter will flow out, greatly accelerating the great revival of the empire.]

【choose……】

[The great revival of the empire cannot be hindered by anything: Expansion efficiency of the Dream World +35%, Daily Dream Elements +3, Dream Quality +5000, Destiny Experience for the entire empire +100]

[We should rebuild the empire peacefully: Disable the "Dream Labyrinth" technology, obtain the research project "Safe Dream Labyrinth", research required for 15 days]

Both the Dream Labyrinth and the Dream Egg Pool are rare technologies.

After research, the Empire will receive 3 Dream Elements daily!

The Dream Element can expand the Dream World; it is currently the rarest resource and a core means of enhancing strength.

Jiang Wei made his choice.

Nothing can stand in the way of the empire's great revival.

A new feature called "Dreamland" has been added to the panel.

Jiang Wei clicked to view.

【Dream Realm: Consumes 1000 Star Jade (cost increases with population), designates a star system to be devoured by the dream, adds a star system correction to "Reality Imbalance", grants all Empires +100 Fate Experience; 24-hour cooldown】

Jiang Wei checks the effect of the term "reality imbalance".

[Reality Imbalance: Parts of reality are crumbling, held together by the power of illusions. The Empire possesses true vision of this region; hostile units entering the area suffer a -13% health loss and a -22% fate energy loss, and the surrounding reality is extremely unstable.]

interesting.

The Dream Realm can be used to attack enemy star systems, as well as to expand the territory of an empire and defend its borders.

The first choice is the star system where the Black Tower space station is located.

[Confirm to forcibly annex this system as Imperial territory? Confirm/Cancel]

Jiang Wei clicked "OK".

An invisible influence has emerged, making reality fragile and precarious, like the aurora borealis of star colors blooming within a galaxy.

The dazzling, multicolored light spread at an incredible speed to the edge of the galaxy.

When the expansion ends, strange, vein-like structures will be visible in the universe, emitting various strange glows that echo each other, making the galaxy appear somewhat hazy at first glance.

It's filled with a sense of unreality, like being caught in the gap between reality and dreaming.

……

"what is that?"

Aista gazed out the window at the aurora borealis and the beautiful, ethereal nebulae.

Using the radar of the Black Tower space station, she discovered many strange energy reactions within the galaxy, which she had never seen before.

"It's really beautiful. Let's investigate. It might be one of Lady Black Tower's artifacts."

Estella got up and spoke with the researchers on the space station.

As a result, she encountered something quite strange.

"Acting station manager, are you seeing things?"

The researcher, dressed in a white shirt, adjusted his glasses and carefully examined the view outside the window.

"The radar did detect unknown energy fluctuations... but we didn't see the 'aurolas,' 'nebulae,' or anything like that you mentioned. The galaxy was completely dark, with only meteorites scattered everywhere."

"How can it be……"

Only she can see it?

Estella panicked, thinking she had encountered some trouble.

She immediately contacted Daheita, but unfortunately, Daheita, who had just finished his research project, had fallen into a coma and was unable to respond to her.

After working for ten hours, Estelle realized with dismay that the galaxy where the Black Tower space station was located might require a long period of investigation to determine the source of the anomalous energy.

She tried, but the camera couldn't capture what she saw.

"Forget it, there's no use in rushing."

Estella silently prayed to the Great Black Tower, hoping for a swift response.

I turned off the lights, pulled the covers over myself, and drifted off to sleep.

……

The transition between dreams and reality takes only a moment.

"Ah...oh~ no, slower, I can't take it anymore..."

The familiar voice made Estella open her eyes abruptly.

She stared blankly at the scene before her.

This is the Black Tower's office.

The sound of water dripping.

She stepped into the clear liquid and smelled a heart-stirring floral fragrance.

It smells like the scent of the Black Tower Lady.

The noise, like the buzzing of mosquitoes, was everywhere, seeping into Estella's ears.

……

Lady Black Tower?

what happened?

Who is the other person?

What are you doing?

One question after another lingered in Estella's mind.

An indescribable tremor made her forget to even blink, and she just stared blankly at the scene before her.

really?

Ms. Big Black Tower is not that kind of person.

She is dignified, proud, excellent, and perfect.

Even if someone's behavior and attitude are questionable, and they don't respect or care about you, it doesn't matter.

The Great Black Tower Lady is the Genius Club #83, the Great "Intellectual" Envoy!

She shouldn't be like this...

Estella walked forward, trembling.

……

The man in front of the Great Black Pagoda looked familiar; it was Jiang Wei, as if he were playing an expensive piano.

The piano felt incredibly comfortable in the player's hands, clearly having been practiced many times.

The performer plucked the strings with nimble fingertips.

Fingers flew across the piano keys.

A melody of surging waves, lingering and long.

Estella was suffocating, her steps faltering as she stopped and started again.

It's another moment of building up strength for a powerful burst.

Estelle's heart shattered with the outburst.

The collapse of her idol's career and the brutal scenes simultaneously shocked her, and she couldn't take her eyes off them for a moment.

She parted her cherry lips slightly, her whole body trembling, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"...Lady Black Tower?"

The expression on Daheita's face froze instantly.

Their gazes shifted to Estádio behind Jiang Wei, and they froze.

She quickly regained her composure.

Turn your face away, don't look at me.

Chapter 13 The Great Black Tower's Favorite Items

The alarm clock rang, and Estella unconsciously adjusted her position while still asleep.

Opening my sleepy eyes, the memories of last night faded, leaving only a few fragmented images.

The warm fragrance unique to a young girl's skin wafted through the sheets.

Estella curled her pale toes, her ankles brushing against the lace sheets, making a rustling sound.

"I had a strange dream, and it made me feel a bit uneasy."

She washed up and tidied her hair while wearing fluffy pajamas, then changed into formal attire and left the bedroom.

……

Estella met Jiang Wei and the Great Black Tower at the restaurant.

The place was empty; only the two of them were there.

The moment Estella saw them, she shivered as if by reflex.

The shame felt like being pricked by needles all over my body, and the fear was so intense it was suffocating.

"Aista, are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Wei reached out to help her up.

Estelle stepped back first, took a deep breath, and forced a dry laugh to maintain her composure.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang Wei, Ms. Heita... I had a nightmare last night, and I'm feeling a bit unwell this morning."

"How about we take today off?"

"No need, no need, I feel almost better."

After saying that, Estádio looked at the Great Black Tower.
