The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

However, the only problem now is that Sirin can't see the marriage line.

"Your views on love are a bit abnormal, aren't they?" Although Hei Ta had never been in a relationship, he felt that the girl in front of him seemed to have a different perspective on love than most people.

Normally, shouldn't a young girl in love be concerned about ensuring that her sweetheart won't be taken away by anyone else?

What kind of business is it to wait for someone else to succeed before snatching it from them?

Is this considered freebie?

“I just want to get something, how I get it doesn’t matter. Besides, he’s willing to create a parallel world for me, he cares about me!” Sirin’s expression remained calm.

"..." Black Tower witnessed the diversity of organic life once again today.

Oh, darling, this is so strange.

“But what if I were to hand over our conversation to Chen Li?” Hei Ta pondered for a moment, then took out a voice recorder.

"???"

"Black Tower, you're so despicable!" Sirin's eyes widened as she quickly reached for the newly opened teleportation portal beside her.

Sirin's hand instantly appeared next to the recorder in Black Tower's hand, but the recorder suddenly disappeared.

"I learned it from Chen Li," Black Tower said after transmitting the recording pen to his own body using the WeChat Moments terminal.

"And you don't need to look at me so warily. Don't worry, I won't steal your man. And since you mentioned that Chen Li created a parallel world for you, have you thought about how to repay this gift and put both of you on an equal footing? Equality is the foundation of a relationship," Black Tower continued to ask.

"You sound like you know a lot about relationships?"

“Of course,” Black Tower said smugly.

Isn't dating just about you kissing me, me kissing you, and then getting a marriage certificate?

too easy!

To make it even more complicated, isn't it simply a matter of who confesses first and who loses?

So-called love is just another form of mental warfare.

Since it's a battle of wits, there must be formulas. And as long as there are formulas, the genius Black Tower is confident that he can crack them!

"real or fake?"

"I'm a genius, how could a genius lie? A genius can do anything!"

"Then... let me ask you."

……

"What, did your talks fall apart?" When Chen Li came downstairs again, he saw Xilin, who was as calm as ever, and Heita, who was huddled in the corner of the sofa with his legs drawn up and his chin on his knees, looking like something was wrong.

Ten minutes ago, Black Tower asked Chen Li to go upstairs for a while to give himself and Xilin some space alone, and Chen Li agreed.

But when Chen Li came down, he found that the current situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

"Chen Li, do you think I'm useless?" Hei Ta sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, turned to look at Chen Li who had walked up to him and asked.

"Why would you think that? You're a member of the Genius Club, the pinnacle of human intelligence on Azure Star, the famous Lady Black Tower." Chen Li was a little surprised, but still gave his honest opinion.

"Then why can't I do anything?" Black Tower stared blankly at the coffee table in front of him.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Li patted the Black Tower doll's head, very curious.

"..."

"Xilin, what did you do to her?" Chen Li turned his head and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing. She said she could do anything as a genius, so I asked her a few questions," Sirin said innocently.

"what is the problem?"

“At first I asked her if she could create a real parallel world and modify the basic worldview of that world? She said no.”

"..."

"Later I asked her if she could travel through time to the past or future, sever time, and manipulate the fate of time at will? She said no."

"..."

"Finally, I asked her, if she can't do anything, then why did she say that geniuses can do anything? And that's how she ended up like this." Sirin pointed to the still-dazed Black Tower.

"..."

Sirin, while having awareness of fraud prevention is a good thing, it already puts you far ahead of that well-known, innately fraud-prone Holy Body—the Herrscher of Knowledge!

But if you're so blunt, you'll have no friends.

“Sirin, you can’t compare us like that. The profession of artifact blacksmith is quite special, which is why she can do things that even geniuses can’t…”

"Ugh!" Chen Li was halfway through his sentence when he heard the sound of the Black Tower puppet next to him being seriously injured again.

"Sorry, Black Tower, I didn't mean you're bad, I just wanted to say... Anyway, Black Tower is really amazing. In my opinion, all the Herrschers in the Honkai world need to work hard to learn physics, because the upper limit of your abilities is very high," Chen Li said.

At the same time, Chen Li also felt that Xilin didn't need to learn all sorts of complicated formulas as Black Tower had suggested...

In the world of A Certain Magical Index, science-based ability users are divided into two types. One type is those who, through a superpower development program, have their connection to normal reality severed by taking drugs or being subjected to electric shocks, thus developing abilities unique to themselves.

Another type is the "Original Stone," which possesses superpowers from birth and is a truly talented being.

Aside from the Primal Stone, other ability users need to learn to improve their ability level because releasing their abilities requires precise calculations.

Chen Li felt that Sirin, who possessed the power of the Herrscher of the Void, was more like a "primordial gem," and all she needed to do was learn how to use her abilities more easily.

Of course, Chen Li was also worried that Xilin wouldn't be able to learn complex calculations at all.

Considering Kiana's science grades as Sirin's "half-body"... it's best not to be too harsh on the child.

No, that's not entirely true, because Kiana's humanities grades weren't good either.

However, Kiana learns things really fast... The only speedrunner for the Taixu Sword God!

This is no longer a fast thing, is it?

“Chen Li, you’re right, so I’ve agreed to learn magic and how to use my abilities more accurately from the Black Tower Doll. According to the Black Tower, this is just a simple lesson, and she won’t be teaching me in her physical form. I just need to take an ability test at the Black Tower Space Station tomorrow, and then she can quickly develop a training plan for me to follow.” Xilin said.

"So, the Black Tower is in its current state simply because it has been hit?"

“Mm.” Sirin nodded.

"Hmm... Black Tower, you really are useless. So give me the Black Tower space station, and I'll take care of you," Chen Li said after thinking for a moment.

Black Tower remained silent, but punched Chen Li on the head.

"Fine, I've figured it out. I shouldn't have compared myself to someone like you who's cheating. The artifacts I've collected are on a completely different level from the artifacts you've forged, Chen Li. Coming to our level to bully newbies... that's despicable, Chen Li!"

"You're right, but what if I were to create a cheat for you?"

"My benefactor. If anyone says you're despicable, I'll fight them!" Black Tower immediately gripped Chen Li's hands tightly.

"I preferred your defiant attitude just now," Chen Li retorted.

"So what kind of wondrous object are you going to forge for me? For free?" Black Tower asked.

"Alright, stop acting. It's impossible to get something for nothing by trying to gain sympathy." Chen Li smiled and patted Hei Ta's head.

Black Tower, you've become so despicable!

"Was my performance that obvious?" Black Tower stroked his chin, seemingly somewhat unwilling.

"How could the prestigious Black Tower Club be so easily defeated? Black Tower, my confidence in you is deeper than my confidence in myself."

"Alas, perhaps it is as the ancient saying goes: 'Natural beauty is hard to conceal.' A woman like me is indeed unique." Black Tower subconsciously touched his face.

"Alright, stop being so narcissistic. Black Tower, it's time for you to log off. I need to use this Black Tower doll."

"Use?" Black Tower turned to look at Chen Li, his gaze full of scrutiny.

"Spinning around. I want to put three Black Tower dolls in my room and make them spin around from morning till night."

"are you crazy?"

"In short, you should log off now."

"Wait a moment, let me install the [Begging for Curious Items Module] on this Black Tower doll first. It's almost finished, only 15% of the progress remains," Black Tower said.

"What the hell is this module?"

"Why do you think I'd give you those three Black Tower dolls? It's because I want your exotic possessions, of course! What else could it be but lust for your body?"

"I was wondering if those three Black Tower puppets were the ones you lost to me?" Chen Li tilted his head.

"Don't worry about it."

Are you using the "Unreasonable Module" right now?

"Don't worry about that."

"Alright. I'd like to see just how far your 'coquettish' module can go."

To be honest, Chen Li was really looking forward to it.

"Black Tower, are you sick?" Chen Li asked coldly when he saw Black Tower sitting on him early in the morning.
