People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

"The coffee is good."

Ron took a sip of coffee, and although he couldn't taste anything, he still made a polite gesture.

The reason he was so disciplined was that back in the days of the Fire Moth, he had been forcibly dragged by a certain Eden to learn basic party etiquette.

After doing it so many times, it almost becomes muscle memory.

It's worth noting that even a madman like Qianjie would put on a gentlemanly demeanor at the Eden banquet, which shows just how much importance that [Golden] Lady placed on etiquette.

"Looks like you have good taste." Black Tower nodded, then suddenly spoke, "Ron, you were the one who took care of the Doomsday Beasts and the Cataclysmic Vanguard at the space station, weren't you?"

"You guessed it?" Ron's face showed no surprise.

"Not only were you able to hack into my office, but you were also able to repair the doll I failed to make... If I can't figure out your true identity, I might as well kill myself with a block of tofu."

"So what do you plan to do? Expose my identity?"

“No, I don’t have such trivial thoughts.” Black Tower shook his head. “To me, whether you are the one who defeats Doomsday Beasts and Cataclysm Vanguard, or the veterinarian of the space station, none of that matters.”

"What do you mean?"

"In any case, you did indeed repair the child, transforming her from a failed experiment into a fully functional intelligent doll with an emotional module. Although I don't know how you did it, I can't help but acknowledge it."

"so?"

"Therefore, I will personally be involved in designing the follow-up and further experiments for this child, and I will need your assistance with my research."

Black Tower spoke in a detached tone, without any airs or restraint, and directly made his difficult request.

“I don’t think I need to do this kind of thing.”

Ron shook his head. He had only repaired the broken doll, Black Tower, to kill time; he wasn't actually attached to it at all.

"Don't worry, it's just a small matter, you won't have to pay too much." Black Tower said nonchalantly, "As a condition, I can allow you to use any facilities on this space station at will, and I can even introduce you to other members of the Genius Club."

"Oh?"

Ron was honestly tempted by Black Tower's words.

The Black Tower space station's facilities would be considered top-tier laboratories in any world, capable of conducting experiments at various project levels.

Ron would be even more eager to use his connections with the Black Tower to communicate with other members of the Genius Club.

However, although he was already somewhat tempted, he remained outwardly calm and spoke:

What do you want me to do?

"A trivial little thing."

Heta looked at Ron in front of him and said calmly, "I plan to further stabilize this child's emotional module and use her as a template to develop the subsequent Heta doll group. For this, I need you to participate and observe her mental state at all times."

千;"'寻;...免';:费:.":小,.!说,'?輑':"2,,!.5,?5;',5!9.5!!""3";0?"0“参与进来……具体是指？”

“Simply put, I need you and me to play her father and mother,” Heita said calmly.

"you sure?"

Ron gave the Black Tower a long look.

"Of course, do you think I would joke about something like this?" Black Tower said nonchalantly, facing Ron's gaze. "It's just pretending to be parents. It's a worthwhile investment for the experiment to go smoothly... What, are you planning to refuse?"

Black Tower glanced at Ron as he spoke.

Although the other party does not appear to be anything special, their ability to defeat the Doomsday Beast and the Cataclysm Vanguard, as well as their ability to repair the puppet they failed to make, demonstrates their extraordinary qualities.

This piqued Black Tower's interest to some extent, and he figured there was nothing wrong with pretending to be the child's parents with this guy.

The only problem is Ron. Black Tower is worried that he will become infatuated with her during the role-playing process and then become unable to extricate himself... She has always been very confident in her charm.

As for the possibility that she might become infatuated with Ron during the process?

Black Tower didn't think such a thing was likely to happen.

If that were really the case, the God of Destruction would probably even take the initiative to communicate with humans...

Just as Black Tower was pondering, Ron finally spoke.

"Just playing the child's father? Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple."

“Then I agree,” Ron said reluctantly.

"Tsk, looks like you're barely managing," Black Tower muttered to himself, seeing Ron's attitude.

"Yes, after all, I have some dark history in this area... Let me make it clear beforehand, if you later become obsessed with me and start to act like a yandere, and try to tie me up, I will definitely stop this immediately."

Ron spoke very seriously.

"Has anyone ever said you're narcissistic?" Black Tower was speechless; this was the first time she had ever met someone more narcissistic than herself.

"No, this isn't narcissism, but rather some things that happened in the past..."

As Ron spoke, he recalled a certain Moth of Fire, Mebius, whose words were essentially a perfect account of what had happened between him and Mebius.

"Tch, I don't know what you've been through in the past, but don't worry, that kind of thing would never happen to me."

Black Tower spoke with an air of confidence.

"That's good."

Ron nodded.

After agreeing on their terms, Heita released his sister's hand.

The doll-like girl threw herself into Ron's arms, clamoring for her father to hold her.

"So, what are you planning to do next? Do you know how to take care of children?" Ron asked, soothing the little Black Tower in his arms while looking at Black Tower.

"Just leave her in the space station to fend for herself. Isn't that how kids grow up?" Black Tower said matter-of-factly.

"Do you mean children born to normal humans by the word 'children'?"

"Otherwise what? I was already able to take care of myself at two and a half years old, and I could do any job that an adult could do at three years old."

"Okay, pretend I didn't say that."

After confirming that Black Tower's situation was even worse than his own and that he was in no way a good mother, Ron simply calmed down.

Black Tower Sister is not a real human child. Although her mind is not yet fully mature, her thinking ability is definitely comparable to that of an average adult.

They don't need to act particularly attentive; they just need to act like parents in front of their child.

"By the way, you don't seem to have anything to do next, right?"

"what happened?"

“The people from the Star Train asked me to go and talk to them about what to do with that star core. I plan to take the kids there to take a look.”

"so?"

"So, as the child's father, shouldn't you have come along?"

"..."

Ron was genuinely surprised by Black Tower's expression of 'not taking the acting seriously, points deducted'.

Is it really necessary to act like this?

"Dad, don't you want to come along?"

Black Tower Sister spoke hurriedly, as if she might show a disappointed expression at any moment.

"Ah this..."

Seeing the girl's expectant eyes, Ron realized that he seemed to have no option to refuse.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: He is the child's father

Ron, Black Tower, and Black Tower's sister walked toward the main control module.

Throughout the process, Black Tower's sister tried to stick close to Ron, but Black Tower held her hand firmly, so in the end she could only try to pull Ron's hand.

The three of them walked hand in hand on the road, just like a family going out for a stroll.

"..."

This strange combination attracted the attention of many staff members, but because of Lady Black Tower's high prestige on the space station, no one dared to come up and ask questions.

“I’m talking about the Black Tower…” Ron asked as he walked, “The rumors say that you once managed to reverse aging, rewriting your genetic blueprint after you got old, and biologically restoring yourself to youth. Is that true?”

"It's half true and half false."

"What do you mean?"

"Rejuvenation is real, but rewriting the genome is fake. I'm not good at studying the essence of biology; that's Ruan Mei's area of ​​expertise... Oh, you don't know Ruan Mei yet, do you? She's a member of the Genius Club, ranked 81st. We're on good terms. She's an interesting person. I'll introduce you to her sometime."

"it is good."

Ron nodded; he was very interested in the geniuses of the Genius Club.

He had initially wanted to meet with Black Tower to exchange knowledge in the field of genetics, but now that he knew Black Tower himself was not proficient in genetic technology, he naturally shifted his focus.

"Aren't you going to ask me how I did it?" Seeing Ron fall silent again, Black Tower couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't a normal person be very interested in this kind of anti-aging technology?"

Ron shook his head at this: "I am only interested in genetic technology. I don't care about other technologies. Therefore, whether it is cell repair, body replacement, or even directly modifying the underlying reality in the Imaginary Tree, it has nothing to do with me."

"Heh, that's something I quite like about you." Black Tower nodded.

"What, are you falling for me?"

“Save your sleep talk for tonight,” Black Tower said with a look of disgust, then confidently added, “For me, Black Tower, it’s always been others who are infatuated with me.”

"I didn't expect you to be such a narcissist."

"Each each other."

After a lighthearted banter with Ron, Black Tower casually remarked, "I really wish everyone were like you, only doing what they care about and not meddling in things they don't understand."

"For example?"

"For example, some investors who are just looking for trouble, even though they don't understand the relevant technology, still ask me to write down every detail of the project's development, as if they could understand it!"

Black Tower silently complained, "There are also some idiots in the media who always like to exaggerate, saying that the explosion of a star is the destruction of the universe, and the fall of a star god is the end of all things... Many things that are clearly very simple are deliberately covered up with all sorts of complicated language, which is so stupid that it makes people want to laugh."
