Starry Sky Railway: I Intruded with the Heart of God

At the Black Tower Space Station, the train stopped again for resupply, giving Mo Li time to explore the space station once more.

Interestingly, when Mo Li passed by a black tower doll, the doll was turned on.

"Hey, wait a minute," Black Tower called out.

Mo Li turned around and asked, "Is there something you need, Miss Black Tower?"

Black Tower said, "Here's the thing, I have a small favor to ask you to come to Black Tower's office in the main control module. I'll be waiting for you."

Before Mo Li could ask her what it was about, the other party went into standby mode again.

There's no way around it; if Mo Li were in the game, a quest interface would already be showing up and tracking her.

Upon arriving at the main control section, Estádio was spotted standing there from afar.

Mo Li walked behind her, and Estella noticed someone coming and turned around.

"Oh, it's you, Mo Li." Estella was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, the Star Train is back, but I didn't bring any gifts," Mo Li said awkwardly.

“Oh dear, do I look like someone who would care about these things?” Estella waved her hand and said.

“But I have a story to tell, would you like to hear it?” Mo Li asked.

"Oh? I want to hear it, tell me quickly!" Estella said happily.

Mo Li told her about his recent journey, and the way he described it made her feel as if she were there herself.

Estella listened quietly and said, "That was too dangerous. I didn't expect that the bad guy almost got away. Here, I'll buy you a pair of sunglasses. That will definitely prevent such a thing from happening again."

"Ah...this...I..." Mo Li was at a loss. He had told her about his pioneering journey, and she wanted to give him some benefits in return.

All I can say is, is this what a rich woman looks like?

"Oh, don't be shy, I have credits, lots of them, okay?" Aster said.

“Okay, thank you, Miss Estádio,” Mo Li said.

"Hehe, next time you have any exciting stories to share, come and tell me! If I'm happy to hear them, I'll definitely give you some benefits." Aster's words revealed a hint of what she was getting for free: she's rich and capricious.

After getting the location of the Black Tower's office from Aista, Mo Li left.

Estella was working much faster now. All she could think about was finishing her work here quickly so she could go play with Pam, that train conductor was just too adorable.

Mo Li had just arrived at the Black Tower office when the door opened.

On the right stood a portrait, which depicted an image of a black tower.

The black tower doll standing not far away turned on and walked towards him. Seeing him examining his portrait, it asked, "How is it? Is she pretty?"

Mo Li nodded and said, "It looks good."

"That's good. You're much more perceptive than some people," Black Tower said.

"Who is that over there?" Mo Li asked, looking at the robot in the painting opposite.

"That person is a mechanical nobleman from Screw Star, named Screw Gum. He is a genius, and of course, so am I."

"Genius?" This was the first time Mo Li had ever heard someone call him that.

"Huh? You don't know?" Black Tower asked.

Mo Li shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"Do you know about the Genius Club?" Black Tower asked.

"I don't know either." (The immediate answer)

"Alright, then I'll reluctantly tell you about it." After saying that, Heita began a systematic introduction to the Genius Club, much like searching on Baidu...

"The so-called Genius Club is a group of people who have gained the favor of the Star God, the Elite. It is an organization that brings together the most outstanding geniuses and minds in the universe."

The Genius Club, a pursuit of "intellect." Those favored by the Star God, the Wise One. A gathering of the universe's most exceptional geniuses and minds. Members here act independently, without any so-called "unified stance."

As for how to join, no matter how much you consider yourself a genius, the doors of the Genius Club will not open to you until you have received a glance from the "Erudite Scholar".

The organizational philosophy of the Genius Club...

Some say that the Genius Club is full of eccentrics, madmen, lone wolves, autistic geniuses, and people with social difficulties. They constantly make amazing discoveries, but never let the outside world know about them.

On the path of seeking knowledge, they are both solitary seekers and relentless pursuers: "The answers of the universe transcend the limits of mortal wisdom"—only geniuses who clearly recognize this conclusion can break free from the shackles of worldly thirst for knowledge and become true members of the club of geniuses.

After Black Tower finished speaking, he asked, "Did you understand?"

Mo Li nodded and said, "That's about right. Although your answer was very official, like you were searching online."

"Hmph, it's all to explain to you. Now that you understand, let's talk about what I asked you to come here for." Black Tower used a topic-change technique, as if to cover up the fact that she had just "Baidu'd" it.

"Tell me about it, and I'll see if I can help you, a genius like you," Mo Li said.

“Okay, the reason I called you here is to have you help me test this thing,” Black Tower said, pointing to the instrument next to him.

"What is this?" Mo Li asked.

“Hmm… how should I explain this to you? By the way, have you heard of the metaverse?” Black Tower asked.

"Hey, can you stop trying to jump on this topic?" Mo Li said speechlessly.

"Isn't this just to let you know roughly what it is? This is called a simulated universe, used to test the Fate Chasm. Whatever you do in it won't affect reality," the Black Tower said.

"For example?" Mo Li asked.

“For example, even if you die inside, it won’t matter,” Black Tower said.

The air became very quiet in an instant.

"How should I put it... you're really something..." Mo Li finally managed to utter this sentence.

"How about it, want to give it a try? Didn't you want to get in touch with strange objects? We've also added some of the known functions of strange objects to it," Black Tower said.

"Huh? You guys?" Mo Li caught the word.

Hei Ta said, "Yeah, us? You think I researched this all by myself?"

"That's true."

"What do you mean, 'that's true'? You don't think I'm the only one who can't figure this out, do you?" Black Tower challenged again.

"No, no." Mo Li actually gave in.

“Since it’s pointless, why don’t you try simulating a universe?” Black Tower asked.

"Then I'll help you test the simulated universe, you have to give me something in return, right?" Mo Li tried to get some benefits.

“I already thought of that. I’ll settle the accounts for the credits you get in the simulated universe and the materials from your enemies, but not blessings. They’re not real, so I can’t get them. Oh, and not rare items either,” Black Tower said.

Mo Li didn't think the other party was stingy; she felt that the other party had already given her a lot of benefits, so there was no need to haggle anymore.

"Then what should I do?" Mo Li asked.

“As long as it’s up there,” Black Tower said.

After Mo Li stepped onto the platform, Black Tower asked, "Are you ready?"

Mo Li closed his eyes and said, "Ready."

The next moment, everything went dark. Mo Li was not alarmed; he believed that the Black Tower would not harm him.

After Mo Li entered the simulated universe, the Black Tower sent out a communication...
