I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　The original story lacked the blocking by Welt and Siegfried, and the later plot involving throwing meteorites at Earth was also absent.

　After all, under Lingmo's tutelage, Xilin has come to realize the weight of hatred. For her, the only target of her revenge at this moment is the Destiny organization. If possible, she would like to further narrow down the scope to certain individuals, such as the blond man with the clown mask, to avoid harming innocent people.

　What she didn't know was that Otto had already swiftly dealt with all the people involved in the Tower of Babel experiment group without her having to lift a finger.

　After all, whether someone is exceptionally capable or has a low moral standard, it's all within Otto's tolerance range. But there are two things he absolutely cannot tolerate: one is someone breaking free from his control, and the other is someone interfering with his resurrection plan.

　Unfortunately, the Tower of Babel experiment group committed both of these errors.

　Of course, the above are not the biggest changes in the world line.

　The real point of entry and exit is...

　This is the Honkai Will that did not guide Sirin to destroy the world in the slightest, but merely answered all her questions.

　And what was floating around Sirin at this moment—

　Five cores.

　Chapter 31 Lingmo: Oh my god, so this wasn't an Easter egg after all!

　"Oh, there's such a thing?"

　After listening to Lingmo's description, Heita's face showed obvious interest.

　Two hours had passed. After taking a quick tour of the space station with Estella, Suzumo was taken to the artifact collection room by the returning Black Tower. After all, Suzumo hadn't finished dealing with things in the Honkai World, so she didn't have much time to rest.

　Of course, Suzumo immediately reported her previous gains to Black Tower—the addition of a new character to the character pool.

　"If you could become Pepe... that would be really interesting. It's a pity you can't do it here."

　"I don't feel sorry at all!"

　With her hands on her hips, Lingmo protested, "What kind of weird play is turning into a dog? Are you trying to make the enemy laugh to death?"

　"Don't treat Peipei like an ordinary pet. I actually doubt that you can even beat Peipei."

　Black Tower glanced at Lingmo's somewhat slender figure and nodded slightly: "Hmm, it seems she really can't win."

　"Hey!"

　"Hmph~"

　Seeing the flustered girl beside him, Heita felt a bit happier after being teased by Ruan Mei.

　"Alright, let's get to the point."

　After teasing Lingmo as usual, Black Tower quickly got into work mode, explaining to Lingmo as he moved forward: "Most of the strange objects contained in Black Tower Space Station don't actually have that much destructive power."

　"After all, even if I don't care much about the people on this space station, I am still responsible for their safety. I don't want to be labeled with a news headline like, 'The space station crashed due to the improper handling of a dangerous artifact by Ms. Black Tower of the Genius Club, resulting in the deaths of many people.'"

　"Among these strange objects, the most dangerous is a star core. Of course, you can't touch it. As for what it is, I'll tell you when I have the chance."

　"As for now..."

　Black Tower pressed the hatch switch: "Considering your time constraints, I've done a preliminary screening of these artifacts. Tell me which one you're interested in, and I'll unlock it for you."

　"Of course, there are some interesting items in there. While I don't object to you adding them to the gacha pool, I still suggest you leave them alone for now to avoid polluting the pool. Wait until the turmoil in the other world has passed before testing their usefulness."

　"Don't worry, I know that very well... It's just that this gacha system is so user-unfriendly. They've already learned this much, why don't they learn orbital tracing and capturing Brightlight too..."

　While complaining about the system's card-drawing system, Lingmo looked around the display cases.

　The first thing that catches the eye is some old friends, those oddities that were placed on the map in the game in her previous life, such as the "Repackaged Happiness" and the like. Although according to Black Tower, these entertainment oddities might not be useless even if they were added to the gacha pool, Suzuma still resisted the urge to open the collection.

　"Huh, the Black Tower, what's that?"

　"Ok?"

　Black Tower glanced at it, then revealed an expression of certainty: "That's a scoring gun. You didn't mistake it for some kind of offensive weapon, did you? Don't worry, that guy has no combat ability. All he can do is score everyone, and the scoring criteria are still undetermined."

　"Can I use it to rate me?"

　Lingmo looked eager to try.

　"Whatever, just stand in front of it if you want to give it a score."

　"okay."

　Lingmo skipped and hopped to the scoring gun, then, like a queen facing a magic mirror, drew out her voice.

　"Score gun, score gun, come and tell me what my score is!"

　The strange gun suddenly opened its closed eyes, spun around for a moment, and then stared at Lingmo with ill intent.

　"...?"

　The fixed-score gun's eyes suddenly widened, trembling desperately as it tried to calculate, but to no avail.

　"It is impossible to measure!"

　After a brief stalemate, Dingfen Gun wearily closed his eyes.

　"Eh?"

　Lingmo turned back to look at the Black Tower with a puzzled expression.

　"I guess it's because you carry the power of the Commander. This broken gun is too cowardly; the Commander dares not test it, nor can it test it."

　Black Tower said nonchalantly, "Forget about that, come here and take a look at this thing."

　Lingmo looked in the direction he was told, and then her eyes widened just like the final shot from before.

　"Wait, this is... the Wings of Wind?!"

　To be honest, Lingmo always thought that the Wind Wings in the game were just an Easter egg placed by the Honkai Impact 3rd development team. She really didn't expect that there would be a real one in Black Tower!

　"You recognize this thing?"

　Black Tower asked with some curiosity, "I found these wings in a broken spatial rift, and I've never been able to determine their origin... So they're from your world?"

　"No, I just know about it... If I had to say, this thing is just a game item where we're from."

　Lingmo shook her head decisively.

　"I see... It's alright, come and touch this. If I'm not mistaken, this rare item shouldn't be of a very high level, so the chance of drawing it isn't low. Besides, this thing should give you decent mobility."

　"Okay, but this feel... is really strange."

　Lingmo gently stroked the Wings of Wind, then a thought suddenly struck her.

　She thought of a question.

　If the Wings of Wind are one of the Black Tower's true collections... then wouldn't that mean she has them too...?

　"Black Tower! Black Tower!"

　Lingmo's gaze swept around and immediately caught sight of the "strange object" she was looking for. Instantly, the girl became excited: "What is that strange object?"

　Following the direction Lingmo pointed, Heita saw several red fragments of a broken sword floating in the display case.

　……

　"Siegfried."

　The headquarters of Destiny is located in a small, exceptionally cozy villa.

　"You don't need to persuade me anymore. I know what you're worried about... But if we really let the Second Herrscher come to Schicksal for revenge, no one can predict what the outcome will be."

　"So even if the bishop hadn't asked for my help, I would have gone to Siberia myself."

　"..."

　Siegfried remained silent.

　He knew Cecilia's personality very well. Although she was usually gentle and kind, once Cecilia made up her mind, even he couldn't stop her.

　Moreover, Cecilia's trip to Siberia this time was not for "conquest," but for "rescue."

　"In that case, I'll go with you."

　After a moment, Siegfried managed to utter a single sentence.

　“After Walter returned from the moon the other day, he showed me some information about a pre-civilization that he obtained from the Soul Steel on the moon. Among them was a method that could allow me to break through the ‘limit’. If I go with you, it will give you another trump card.”

　"And... Walter told me that he met Sirin on his way back from the moon."

　"He wanted to tell Xilinlingmo's body that it hadn't been taken by destiny, but the other party didn't give him the chance and simply disappeared from his sight."

　“Since you and Walter both believe that the child can still be saved, I naturally can’t fall behind… However, Otto probably doesn’t think so.”

　Chapter 32 Black Swan: I always feel a chill down my spine.

　"this?"

　Black Tower looked puzzled: "Why would you want this... Although it's still clear that this was originally a weapon, it's damaged like this, so it probably has no practical value in combat, right?"

　"No no no..."

　Lingmo shook her head repeatedly: "Black Tower, didn't you say that when these strange items are transformed into items through the gacha pool, they will be given any one of the following abilities: practicality or background significance? Although the practicality of this strange item is close to zero, the story it represents is quite extraordinary."

　"In a sense, this fragment represents another possibility of the world in my dream, and can be considered a product of a parallel world."

　"I see... Wait, you just said flat..."

　Black Tower was startled and looked at Lingmo with an unusually strange gaze, making the girl feel somewhat uncomfortable.

　"What, what's wrong?"

　"...No, it's okay."

　Hei Ta shook his head, then said to Ling Mo with an unusually serious expression, "You should never discuss your explanation of this strange object again, in any situation, understand?"

　"Oh well……"

　Although she was somewhat confused, seeing Black Tower's serious expression, Lingmo naturally nodded obediently. After all, Black Tower didn't seem to want to harm her; rather, it was as if she had violated some taboo.

　No, or rather, she walked a tightrope on the edge of some kind of bottom line? It seems that there is indeed a related storyline about Hoshino Iron, but due to Suzuma's memory problems, although she knows everything about the storyline of Honkai Impact 3, she can only remember the general outline of the storyline about Hoshino Iron.

　With this incident, Suzuma's journey of selecting rare items became much more cautious. Under the guidance of the Black Tower, she touched seven or eight rare items with different uses. Compared to the empty character pool with only four characters, the item pool had accumulated nearly ten four-star items, and quite a few five-star items as well.

　However, it's worth mentioning that as Suzuma finally relaxed for the first time with Hoshitsu, she also had the opportunity to check out the character and weapon pools available for Hoshitsu.

　According to the system's description, she can only obtain Star Iron's weapons and characters in Honkai Impact 3rd, while the opposite is true for Star Iron.

　As for the people involved, without a doubt, excluding Otto, with whom she had a heart-to-heart conversation, the only person she came into contact with was Sirin. As for the researchers, they weren't even three-star level and were directly eliminated.

　As for the weapons... Suzumo discovered something quite unexpected.

　"Void of All Things (revised)?"

　Looking at the description of this five-star weapon, Lingmo's face showed a puzzled expression: "What is this 'modified' thing? Does it mean the Void Treasury that Otto has marinated?"

　No, no.

　Customer service representative Xiaoqi appeared promptly to answer the question.

　[Because the Void Treasury is quite special—it's a weapon with an extremely strong self-awareness, even exceeding the system's limit for self-awareness—the Void Treasury within the system doesn't possess its own self-awareness and requires the host to control it personally.]

　"Wow... that system is really convenient."

　Besides being convenient, this upper limit on self-awareness is also to prevent certain bugs.

　Customer service representative Xiaoqi explained helplessly.

　For example, if you touch some intelligent machine life form, and that intelligent machine life form can be identified as a weapon...

　"Oh, I see."

　Suzuma suddenly realized: "For example, even if I touch Screw Gum and genuinely treat it as a weapon, I still can't draw it, right?"

　[That's roughly it. Also, because the time flow rates of the two worlds are different, the gacha pools are not interconnected, and the host's crystals do not specifically differentiate between them. Therefore, the crystals for the gacha pools in the two worlds are actually calculated separately.]

　[Simply put, if you have one 10-pull, you can pull once from the Star Iron pool and then pull once from the Honkai pool.]

　"That makes a lot of sense, and it saves me the trouble of allocating resources between the two sides..."

　Lingmo scratched her head: "Should I pull the cards now? Although it seems like I can't even afford a ten-pull."

　[If you're going to draw cards, I still suggest you wait until you need them before doing so. Also, you should allocate your resources reasonably between the character pool and the weapon pool.]

　Customer service representative Xiaoqi suggested.

　[Because I recently reviewed the system's underlying protocols and discovered that the first twenty pulls in each pool are considered newbie rewards, with a much higher drop rate than usual.]
