Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Lin Yi remained silent for a moment.

"Tell me what happened? From beginning to end."

Zhu Xing nodded and began to give a detailed retelling.

"After sending Sister Qiqing to the 'Qingming Cloud Sea,' I discovered through the spacetime distortion caused by the air barrier that the 'Kakamu Strike Plan' you set up in the laboratory had been activated when I left the 'Qingming Cloud Sea.'"

"So I rushed to the lab, but for some reason the portal to the 'Warp Nexus' wouldn't open, and the spatial artifacts you gave me, teacher, were all ineffective."

"I could only get there by myself through the conventional means, but when I arrived outside the laboratory, I found that there was a very serious spacetime cliff inside and outside the laboratory."

"Like a great rift valley, it separates the inner and outer spacetime. Obviously, the inner and outer spaces are no longer connected, and the flow of time inside and outside is also different."

"I have tried many times to break through the precipice of spacetime and cross the rift between spacetime, but all of them have ended in failure."

"A high-energy field also exists in the laboratory, and its terrifyingly high energy level has indirectly stabilized the spacetime precipice."

"No matter what, I am powerless. I have tried all sorts of methods, but I cannot get close."

At this point, Zhu Xing became a little emotional again, and Lin Yi gave her a hug, saying, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"Later, Professor Dahei Tower arrived. Professor Dahei Tower was originally completing upgrades to the 'Simulated Universe' within the 'Black Tower Space.'"

"After noticing that the portrait of Polka Kaka was covered by a meme virus, as you might expect, Professor Heita tacitly did what he had to do, and Professor Screw Coulomb was also there at the time."

"They approached Sister Ruan Mei and, together, paused the simulated universe where the system upgrade process was halfway through. Using the simulated universe to detect abnormal data, Teacher Luo Sigumu activated the insertion permission on his scepter and borrowed 'Laplace's Demon.'"

At this point, Zhu Xing glanced at Lin Yi, whose expression remained unchanged.

It's normal to have backdoors; if it were Lin Yi, he would have left them too, and more than one. For example, the Black Tower's "simulated universe" was completely infiltrated.

"With the support of the computational power and distance advantage of 'Laplace's Demon,' Professor Heita and his team used the 'Wing of Harmony' that you sent to us to correct the anomalous constants caused by Polka-Kaka."

“Polka-Cakam altered three cosmological constants: π, the chaos constant in the Polka-Cakam algorithm, and an unnamed constant related to the transformation of spacetime curvature.”

"Professor Heita and his colleagues speculate that the modification of π is one of the keys to Polka-Kaka's mobility. They also have no idea why the remaining two constants of Polka-Kaka need to be modified."

Lin Yi nodded, stroking his chin, and said, "So, I did notice some inconsistencies in spacetime back then, plus the difference in the flow of time inside and outside the laboratory..."

"I suspect that the constant related to the transformation of spacetime curvature should be able to affect the relative time flow between Polka Kaka herself and the outside world." Lin Yi said it was a guess, but his tone was extremely certain.

"This allows her to achieve a speed that appears to be teleportation to the outside world. Therefore, it's not surprising that she can perform similar maneuvers inside the laboratory, even when the entire star system belonging to 'Shenxiao Space City' is frozen and sealed off."

"That explains why I didn't notice the spatial fluctuations when she teleported."

"π, along with the modification of that spacetime curvature transformation constant, constitutes her mobility over both long and short distances. No wonder she's a genius from the 'Genius Club'—she's truly terrifying."

That's what they say, but when Lin Yi thought about how Polka Kaka's elegant, swift, and clever movements were done slowly by slowing down the relative flow of time, he couldn't help but laugh.

No wonder that body, which wasn't particularly strong, could unleash such a level of mobility and agility.

Geniuses all use their brains, and Lin Yi was really unaccustomed to her behavior at the time.

Lin Yi analyzed it:

"Fortunately, Black Tower and the others acted in time and corrected the anomaly constant."

"Screw Cobalt must have used some other means to maintain stability and prevent Polka Cobalt from further modifying other cosmological constants and mathematical laws."

"Thank them for me... no, it's me..."

"Isn't it more sincere to express gratitude in person?"

A voice came from outside the door, interrupting Lin Yi's words.

A slender woman with a style of dress resembling a mysterious magician walked in through the door. That was the Black Tower, or rather, the Black Tower's true form—the Great Black Tower.

Lin Yi hadn't expected the Black Tower's true form to actually come.

"As you can see, this is my true form. Out of courtesy, shouldn't you also use your true form to speak to me?"

"I'm sorry, my main body isn't very mobile right now. But Black Tower, what brings you to my space city?" Lin Yi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

I arrived three months ago.

The Great Black Tower sat cross-legged on a key-shaped magic wand that appeared out of nowhere, with one leg raised.

Chapter 81 Black Tower: I am a woman who is one of a kind~

"Three months ago, after I discovered that the portrait of Polka Kaka had turned into that spinning top shape that you made, I guessed what had happened."

"After finishing what I needed to do, I immediately rushed to 'Shenxiao Space City'."

"Don't misunderstand, I'm here for three things, checking on your safety is just a side effect," Black Tower suddenly added urgently.

"If you really die, I'll just be able to inherit your estate. There are quite a few tempting things there."

Black Tower's personality is somewhat arrogant.

Although they clearly care about the people they know and are familiar with, they outwardly act as if they don't care at all.

Mistakenly believing that Ruan Mei's experiment had failed, he deliberately blew up the kitchen several times and made a small cake full of burnt smell to comfort her. Even geniuses fail, and for geniuses, failure is far more important than success.

When Ruan Mei revealed that her experiment was actually successful, she could instantly change her expression and produce a cake comparable in size to a planet.

Despite claiming to be indifferent and self-centered, he was willing to destroy an experiment that was crucial to him for the sake of two people he wasn't particularly familiar with, Walter Young and Sunday.

The Black Tower's way of showing concern for people is always reserved and cautious.

Beneath its aloof exterior lies a gentle and kind heart; otherwise, Black Tower wouldn't have the charisma to attract countless top talents from around the world.

Therefore, not so many people would be captivated by her personal charm and become her "haters".

Some people say that among all the geniuses, the most humane and compassionate one is actually an inorganic life form like Slugum, which is undoubtedly a great source of amusement.

However, after spending a long time with the geniuses, Lin Yi could clearly sense that the humanity of the Screw Cobalt was actually just a result of his research and curiosity about organic life.

A spontaneous form of disguise and simulation.

This will not only aid its research and development, but also make it more convenient for the inorganic leader and the emperor of the Screw Star in unavoidable diplomatic situations.

It contributes to the harmonious coexistence of all inorganic and organic life forms. This is because Screw Cobalt's every word and action profoundly represents the entire inorganic life group.

Unfortunately, this sense of human warmth and intimacy is ultimately nothing more than a piece of code that can be replaced at any time.

On the contrary, Black Tower is actually the most normal one in the genius club.

She may be described as willful and self-centered, but Black Tower's temperament is already among the best of all geniuses.

Even Lin Yi didn't think he was as easy to talk to as the Black Tower.

Anyone who becomes a genius is more arrogant and harder to please than the Black Tower. Oh, no, those who become arrogant because of their genius status will never become geniuses.

In short—Black Tower is a woman who is truly unique.

This is due to the elimination of the high-energy environment and the healing of the spacetime tear and distortion.

All the Black Tower dolls in "Shenxiao Space City" and the large "Black Tower Spinning Top" that triggered the meme virus finally reacted.

It automatically activated the remote praise mode.

"Lady Black Tower is unparalleled in the world"

"Ms. Black Tower is exceptionally intelligent."

"Ms. Black Tower is as beautiful as a fish and as stunning as a wild goose"

Seeing all this through the still-on "omniscient lens" and on the screen in the central laboratory, Lin Yi found himself unable to contain himself.

"When did you tamper with this top? I wrought it myself!"

Black Tower waved his hand dismissively: "Is it strange? Don't forget that your meme virus carrier was pieced together from my doll."

Seeing Lin Yi's skeptical and incredulous expression, Zhu Xing stepped in to expose him.

Zhu Xing: "Professor Hei Ta modified it three months ago, when you were still in the lab after I came to Space City. This function didn't actually exist before."

"Too talkative~ thud~"

Black Tower glared at Star Chaser and, mimicking Lin Yi's action, flicked him on the forehead.

"Ouch~ You'll make someone stupid~"

Zhu Xing quickly hid behind Lin Yi, tucking his little head in.

"Alright, enough fooling around, let's get back to business." Black Tower shut down and dispersed the puppets.

Lin Yi really didn't expect that Black Tower would waste time just to make such a joke.

It almost made him doubt his own abilities.

Black Tower chuckled as it watched Star Chaser cower in fear.

"After I arrived, a spacetime cliff phenomenon occurred here, accompanied by an extremely intense high-energy reaction. It should be that the constant modified by Polka O-Kaka complements your arrangements perfectly."

"I've tried it. To successfully traverse this spacetime cliff enveloped by a high-energy environment, the research time required would probably be as long as the time it takes for the energy to dissipate naturally."

"After all, if either the influence Polka or you have had disappears, then this special environment will collapse on its own."

"As for forcibly breaking in, I didn't know what impact my interference would have, so I didn't interfere."

"As I expected, it was pretty much the same."

"Oh right, Polka Kaka is not dead, nor has he come to me to discuss cooperation regarding the simulated universe. That's roughly what's happening outside, so what exactly happened inside?"

Hearing that Polka Kaka was still alive, Lin Yi felt somewhat irritated, even though he had suspected it beforehand.

"The negotiations fell through; she'd rather die than cooperate. She even complained that your 'simulated universe' was petty and childish, something only immature children would play with."

Black Tower clenched his fist imperceptibly.

Polka: Kaka: I ****** you *****

“She also said that Black Tower was childish and unworthy of being associated with, that Screw was nothing but a pile of scrap metal, that Nguyen O-Mei’s research was worthless, and that after killing me, the next target would be Screw, then you, and then Nguyen O-Mei.”

"They'll all be killed sooner or later anyway; there's no way they'd participate in our worthless, childish 'simulated universe' project."

Polka o Kaka: You *** "beep~" "beep~" "beep~"

Black Tower clenched his fist and his brow twitched.

Hei Ta looked at Lin Yi suspiciously: "You really didn't instigate things? Did she really say that?"

Lin Yi looked certain, as if to say, "What kind of relationship do we have? How could I possibly lie to you?"

"Of course not. What would be the point of me lying? My retelling of Polka's words is almost identical, only the language is a bit more elaborate. Aha is my witness, everything I said is true."

There's a saying that only those who have wronged you truly know how wronged you are. Anyway, Polka Kakamu couldn't possibly defend himself, so he naturally let them make up their story.

First, escalate the small issue into a large one, transforming individual conflicts into group conflicts.

Black Tower rolled its eyes at Lin Yi, and Aha's testimony was even less credible.

However, as Lin Yi said, he had no need to lie about such things. It was normal for Polka Kaka, who was focused on assassinating geniuses, to look down on the research of these 'naive' guys.

"What a Polka Kaka! When I have some free time later, I'll see if she really has the guts to be so arrogant! And then what?"

It's getting difficult to insert the Memory Garden arc now. There's news that the Memory Garden character on the train is getting a model change and will have a storyline. The Memory Garden arc wasn't originally scheduled to be released this early, and I've already planned a significant amount of screen time for her.

But now things are complicated. I've searched everywhere but haven't found any accurate information; they're all moles. I should have known better than to look; it just gave me a headache. Forget it, I'll leave it to me to figure out tomorrow.

Chapter 82 Black Tower: Got it~ Now it's your time to show off, which you've prepared so carefully.

"And then we didn't manage to kill each other. Her attacks didn't penetrate my defenses at all; they were just scratching at 'Cripper's' shield. Since you said she's still alive, then my attacks probably had no effect on her either. She was most likely saved by the apothecary."

"The God of Abundance? I thought it was Ahagan, but it makes sense. The God of Abundance can't bear to see suffering, so it's normal for him to save people on the side."

Black Tower nodded in agreement.

"Zhu Xing has already told me about your setup. To be honest, you're really ruthless, with firepower that's excessive... With this kind of setup, if the Star God doesn't interfere, anyone who comes here will die."

"Screw Cobalt is still tracking down Kakamu. I don't know why it's so concerned. It seems you two are on good terms?"

The Black Tower began its silent probing.

Lin Yi sensed the probing in Black Tower's words.

"To be honest, I don't know why it cares so much. As for our relationship, it is indeed quite good, but it's not as close to you as I am."

"However, Screw must be tinkering with something dangerous. Kakamu said that Screw Comu is very close to touching the singularity of knowledge."

Black Tower nodded to indicate that he understood.

"The God of Abundance appeared in the 'Divine Firmament Space City' a day ago. What has He given you this time? It seems the Pharmacist planted a seed in your 'Garden of Life,' and now a towering tree has grown."
