People are in Star Rail, rely on 3 points of intelligence to sense the black tower

-----------------------

"Why are there so many people gathered here?"

Xing came to the base cabin and found a group of employees gathered there.

Upon closer inspection, they were not ordinary employees, but leaders of various departments, even Alan and Ester were there.

"Alan, what are you doing here?" Xing walked forward and asked curiously.

Alan turned his head and said, "Ah, it's Xing. Actually, a big shot suddenly asked to visit the space station today. Because it was a sudden notice, everyone was a little hurried. They were worried that the hospitality would not be good enough and would damage the image of Ms. Black Tower."

"Big shot, what kind of big shot can cause such a big fuss in the space station?" Xing scratched his head.

"I heard from Miss Ester that this guest seems to be Ms. Black Tower's academic partner. To be able to interact with her, he must be a well-known figure in the galaxy..." Alan explained.

"Academic partners...I seemed to have heard her mention a few names when we were testing the Black Tower's simulated universe before." Xing held his chin and muttered to himself.

"Ah, calculate the time, the guests are almost here." Alan looked at the time and said.

Then, the door opened.

An inorganic life form walked in with steady steps.

"Hypothesis, thought always precedes language."

It is dressed in an exquisite tuxedo, a bowler hat, a monocle in its right eye, and exudes a gentle and elegant temperament in its every move.

"There are no words that can define this joy."

That elegance and calmness exemplify what a true aristocrat and gentleman is.

"Nice to meet you, Esta."

It nodded to Estelle in a graceful and gracious manner, which made people feel warm and refreshed.

"Mr. Screwgum, welcome to the Black Tower Space Station." Estelle smiled and bowed gracefully.

"Screw Gumu... As expected, he is the partner of the Black Tower's simulated universe." Xing mixed in with a group of clerks and nodded.

"Sorry, we're 4 minutes and 13 seconds earlier than the agreed time. I hope it doesn't cause you any trouble." ScrewGum first apologized to Ester.

As a recognized gentleman, he would not ignore any details that might make the other party unhappy.

Ester smiled and said, "How could that be, Mr. Screwgum? It is our honor to have you visit the space station."

"Don't be so reserved, Estelle. Just use 'you'. The Black Tower Space Station is a place where knowledge converges. Here, we celebrate the equality of thought." ScrewGum said in a friendly manner, "The collaboration of organic life is wonderful and efficient. The speed at which you rebuilt the space station far exceeded my deduction."

Esta nodded. "Thank you for your affirmation, Mr. Screwgum. Do you want me to show you around? After the last summit, we have launched several new research projects based on silicon-based matrices."

"Emotionally, I gladly accept it. But after all, I have an appointment with the Black Tower, so these surprises should wait for a while." There was regret in Screw Gumm's tone.

"I understand. Ms. Black Tower should be in her office. Please come this way. I'll lead the way for you." Estelle said to Screw Gum.

"No need, I'll lead the way." Gu Tang walked over.

It was holding a huge bottle of wine in its hand, drinking as it walked, as if it was drinking to drown its sorrows.

"Mr. Gutang, every time I meet you, I feel wonderful." Screw Gum greeted Gutang.

Because of the Black Tower, the two knew each other before and had a good relationship.

"I didn't expect that Heita called you here." Gu Tang said as he handed a cup to Screw Gumu.

"This is..." Screwgum took the cup and Gutang poured the liquid from the bottle into it.

ScrewGum took a sip of the liquid in the cup and nodded approvingly: "Hmm... The engine oil produced by Cross Star is smooth and has a unique aftertaste... I didn't expect that Mr. Gutang, although an organic life form, has such a good taste in engine oil."

"Let's go. I'll take you to see the Black Tower." Gu Tang continued to drink the engine oil and left.

ScrewGum followed behind him. Unlike Gutang who drank like a cow, the way he tasted the engine oil was very elegant.

“…………Why can Gu Tang drink engine oil as if nothing happened?” Xing tilted his head.

Alan shrugged. "Mr. Gutang has many extraordinary qualities. I'm used to it."

After ScrewGum left, everyone dispersed and returned to their own jobs.

But Xing found a strange person in the corner of the room.

A young clerk was looking at the portrait of the black tower in distress.

"What are you doing here?" Xing spoke to him.

The young clerk looked at Xing. "Ah, you are the hero who saved the space station. Great! Let me introduce myself first. My name is Leonard, and I am the network security engineer of this space station."

"Well...where is the great place?" Xing asked puzzledly.

"Alas, actually I really need your help now. My job is to repair the main control system that was damaged during the invasion of the antimatter army and restore the network security of the space station." Leonard's tone was a little nervous. "However, during the repair process, I found some anomalies - the access records show that during the period when the main control system was paralyzed, a third party other than the army invaded here."

"You mean... there are other people who took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the space station." Xing frowned.

For some reason, her head ached.

A woman wearing sunglasses appeared in her mind.

"We suspect that the people coming here are star core hunters. They are dangerous elements wanted by the company with huge sums of money." Leonard said seriously.

"Star Core Hunter..." Xing repeated the name silently.

She instinctively felt that her fate would be entangled with the Star Core Hunter.

--------------------------

"Next, I will have a big quarrel with her in the Black Tower's office. Please don't mind it, Mr. Gu Tang." Screw Gumu, who was following behind Gu Tang, suddenly spoke.

"Ah?" Gu Tang turned his head to look at it, with oil flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Chapter 99: A Fierce Argument in the Black Tower Office (Act)

"Yes, you heard it right. I will have a big quarrel with Black Tower. The expected result: we will part ways on bad terms." Screw Gum said to Gu Tang.

"...It seems like you are planning something again." Gu Tang raised his eyebrows, "How about this, tell me the important plan."

"Haha... If it's Mr. Gutang, there must be a way to stop our quarrel. Heita and I are both convinced of this." Screw Gumu said with a smile, "Therefore, in order to make the plan go smoothly, this is a necessary move."

"It sounds interesting, let me join you. Come, drink some more." Gu Tang poured another cup of motor oil into Screw Gumu's cup.

"Mr. Gu Tang, are you willing to help? I would be very grateful." Screw Gum nodded and told Gu Tang the plan.

--------------------------

Among the Star Core Hunters, there is a super hacker from Punklord.

Xing and Leonard followed the clues left by the hacker and investigated all the way to the Black Tower's office.

As soon as they entered the office, they noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.

Black Tower and Screw Gumm were in a standoff, with the atmosphere full of tension.

The tit-for-tat between the two members of the Genius Club made the atmosphere in the entire office extremely depressing and suffocating.

Of course, first you have to ignore Gu Tang who is eating noodles next to you.

"Don't even think about it!" Heita said angrily, "I'll say this one last time. I don't care what Ruan Mei said to you. Want to shut down the simulated universe? No way!"

“Slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp—”

"Black Tower, this is my decision." Unlike Black Tower's angry tone, ScrewGum's tone was calm, even indifferent. "Question: What have we invested in this project? Hundreds of system hours, resources of an entire planet, and the most advanced technology in the universe."

“………………”The black tower remained silent.

“Slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp—”

"What have we got? Unknown, doubtful, and a series of errors." ScrewGum stared into the eyes of the black tower. "I appreciate the flow of knowledge, but I don't agree that the simulated universe will always be just a contract on the to-do list."

"Oh my god...Ms. Black Tower and Mr. Screwgum are arguing..." Leonard was so scared that his teeth were chattering and his legs were shaking.

"I don't think it's that scary..." Xing looked at Gu Tang who was eating noodles in the corner.

Fortunately, Gu Tang finished the bowl of noodles quickly, and the atmosphere on the scene finally returned to seriousness.

"The simulated universe requires errors. This is what you said. The current situation is obviously a perfect match. Why are you not satisfied?" Black Tower retorted.

Gu Tang tried to take out a new bowl of noodles, but found that all the noodles in the storage bag had been eaten by him.

"Initially, we defined the simulated universe in the hope of creating a miniature world where we could spy on the movements of the Star Gods." Screw Gum shook his head, "But now, it is moving further and further away from this goal."

Rumble...Rumble...

There was a sound of heavy stones rubbing against each other.

Gu Tang took out a millstone and started grinding flour.

"Black Tower, think about it, how many surprises has this project brought you? Think again, how many disappointments has it brought you?" Screw Gum persuaded Black Tower to shut down the simulated universe.

Black Tower glared at ScrewGum with gnashing teeth: "The simulated universe never lets me down. It's you... Screw that lets me down. Do you think you're so great? Now you're like a... a guy from a fool's club."

Contrary to most people's expectations, Heita is actually not good at swearing.

Although she is usually quite sharp-tongued, that is her natural expression without realizing it, which is different from actively cursing people.

Rumble...Rumble...

"…………Black Tower, I have no intention of questioning you, nor will I deny your efforts in simulating the universe." ScrewGum continued, "It's just that I hope to give you knowledge and..."

"Enough!" Its words were interrupted by the angry black tower.

Rumble...Rumble...

"If you don't want to do this, just quit. Take your skills with you, I don't want them!" Heita seemed to have completely lost his patience and turned away. "Screw Gumu, we have known each other for such a long time. This is the first time I feel that you are just a piece of cold iron."

She took off her hat, brushed off the flour that had accidentally gotten on it, put it back on, snorted, and left the office.

Only ScrewGum was left standing there, lowering his head in thought.

"Hello, Mr. Screwgum." Xing walked up and greeted Screwgum.

ScrewGum raised his head and looked at Xing: "Hello, you must be Ms. Xing. I heard from Heita that you helped her test the simulated universe. I'm sorry to have let you see such an embarrassing scene."

"What on earth happened?" Xing asked, pointing in the direction where the black tower left.

"This matter was caused by me. I unilaterally proposed to Black Tower to terminate the academic cooperation." Screw Gumu sighed helplessly, "We have some differences in the long-term direction of research. Disagreements often lead to prejudice, and prejudice will hinder the formation of knowledge."

"Well...what is Gu Tang doing here?" Xing looked at Gu Tang.

Gu Tang walked towards the two of them, and behind him was Leonard who was pushing the millstone hard.

"I brought ScrewGum to Heita's office. I wanted to chat with Heita, but Heita and ScrewGum started arguing. So I decided to wait for a while." Gu Tang answered Xing's question.

Xing scratched his head: "Then why are you eating noodles?"

Gu Tang: "I'm hungry."

Xing: "Then why are you grinding flour?"

Gu Tang: “Not full.”

Xing: “Okay.”

"The Black Tower may need to be alone for a while. If you come here to simulate the universe, perhaps I can do it for you and provide some answers." said Screw Gum.

"It's like this. Leonard and I found clues left by the Star Core Hunter. We suspect that a hacker stole a rare item while the space station was in chaos." Xing explained.

"Huh! Huh... Huh... That's right! We... Huh... We were originally planning to tell Ms. Black Tower directly." Leonard was sweating and panting, "It's... the spirit of Punklord."

ScrewGum held his chin thoughtfully. "Punklod Spirit? That is no ordinary wonder, my friend."

"Punk Lord... I've been there once, it was quite interesting." Gu Tang nodded.

"Let's make it short. The Punklod Spirit is actually an etheric cassette. It is a chip used by Punklod hackers to edit reality. It records the way they perceive and rewrite the world." ScrewGum explained to Xing as briefly as possible. "And the one contained in the space station belongs to one of the legends. The information in the cassette is extremely valuable, so its data was extracted and added to the calculation of the simulated universe model."

Xing blinked: "So, the cassette is now in the simulated universe?"

ScrewGum nodded. "Yes, and because of the disagreement between me and Black Tower, the simulation universe will be temporarily closed. So now is the last chance to investigate the cassette data."

Then, the spider silk vibrates and the prey is caught in the net.

The traps set by two geniuses and a gimmick are gradually restraining the genius hacker of the Star Core Hunter.
