People are in Star Iron; who says they're just NPCs?

For example, if you want to fall asleep in the NPC world, you can quickly fall asleep by clearing your mind for a dozen seconds, and there is no such thing as insomnia.

Lin Li couldn't help but chuckle and pinched Aista's little face. The little girl was so shy that she ran away without even cleaning up her mess!

Lin Li gently laid the girl in his arms on the bed, cleaned her up again with his skill, and then turned his gaze to the doorway. He slowly straightened his clothes and asked loudly, "Ms. Black Tower, after observing for so long, have you gained anything?"

"My takeaway is, you're a real pervert!" Even after her cover was blown, Black Tower didn't panic. She calmly pushed open the door and met Lin Li's gaze with indifference. These were her honest thoughts; after seeing what Lin Li had done to Estella, Black Tower couldn't help but think he was quite perverted.

"Hmm, there's something I don't know if Estella has mentioned to you?" Lin Li looked Black Tower up and down with a hint of amusement and said with a smile.

"what's up?"

"In this world, you must show me respect, or you will be punished." Lin Li smiled and slowly walked to the Black Tower.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Are You Ready to Accept Punishment?

Did Estelle say that?

She did seem to have said something, though she didn't explicitly state what the punishment was, but she did mention that Lin Li's personality was strange and that one should try not to anger him. Judging from their current relationship, Estád must have had something on her mind back then.

Of course, this hidden mite wasn't because of betrayal, but because she was punished by Lin Li. She was too ashamed to talk about it and dared not tell him, so he punished her in this way. This can be seen from the many tricks Lin Li just showed!

The Black Tower wouldn't blame Estelle for being unclear; even if Estelle had explained everything in detail, it wouldn't have stopped her from exploring this world.

Facing Lin Li head-on is inevitable.

As a member of the Genius Club and the most intelligent human on Azure Star, Black Tower, who is under the watchful eye of the erudite, naturally possesses his own arrogance.

Estelle had told her to try not to anger Lin Li, but she still spoke her mind without hesitation. If a powerful envoy like her didn't even have this much temper and confidence, then she shouldn't be in this business.

Faced with Lin Li's provocation, Black Tower calmly retorted, "Estella said so, so what about the punishment?" Her unexpectedly tough and confrontational attitude made Lin Li take notice.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case. Black Tower should have learned a lot about the NPC world from Estelle, so it wouldn't be wise to clashed with him rashly.

Unless she already has a strategy in place!

Lin Li checked the Black Tower's current status through the information bar—[Confident and well-prepared].

"Heh, they really did prepare a strategy in advance," Lin Li thought, arousing his slight curiosity. How did Black Tower plan to counter his [interaction] control method?

Lin Li quickly reviewed the information about the Black Tower in his mind and already had some guesses in his heart.

"As expected of the Wisdom Envoy, you are very confident, Miss Black Tower!" The two were less than half a meter apart, but Black Tower still stared at him without any fear.

Snapped!

A crisp snap of fingers.

"Then, I'll grant your wish!"

Black Tower was about to make another sarcastic remark when he found himself unable to move, exactly as Estella had described.

A perfectly timed hint of panic flickered in her eyes, as if she were terrified by this loss of control over her body. Lin Li exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, who would have thought that the elegant and proud Black Tower lady could be such a skilled actress?"

If Lin Li hadn't noticed that her status bar always showed "confident and prepared," she might have been fooled by her performance.

Since Heita has put on such a good performance, it would be inappropriate for him not to take the role. Lin Li decided to play along and give her a big job!

Despite being under control, Black Tower remained calm. Controlling her was only Lin Li's first step; the second step would be the so-called punishment.

She had already anticipated Lin Li's method of punishment.

Judging from Lin Li's actions towards Estella, he is a lecherous fellow, so the punishment was nothing more than an attempt to take advantage of her and grope her.

Once Lin Li's attention is focused on her body and he's blinded by lust, that's her moment to strike back! And indeed, as she predicted, Lin Li was a lecherous fellow.

But the way he acted was completely unexpected! *Slap!*

Another crisp snap of the fingers!

Black Tower was a little confused. Why was he standing there motionless, with such a strange look in his eyes?

Because she was forcibly controlled by [Interaction], Black Tower was completely unable to move, and her perspective was also greatly restricted, so she could not see the changes happening to her!

In Lin Li's eyes, the elegant and charming purple-black dress of the Black Tower had vanished, leaving only her high-heeled boots.

He had just silently removed all of Black Tower's clothes using the [Costume] function, leaving only a pair of boots! Lin Li smiled and quietly admired the girl's stunning naked body.

Her skin was as smooth and delicate as jade, her curves as exquisite as if they were naturally formed, and her undulating breasts were full and radiant...

He walked around the black tower, scrutinizing it thoroughly from top to bottom and front to back with unbridled gaze, occasionally making clicking sounds.

Such an aggressive gaze made Black Tower feel very strange. She instinctively felt that something was wrong, as if she were naked in front of him.

But it shouldn't make a sound. He hasn't even touched me yet, how could he take off my clothes? I can't wait any longer!

Black Tower decisively separated a wisp of its consciousness, controlled a small Black Tower puppet, and quietly entered the room!

The dolls had been hidden by the Black Tower in the outer corridor. Now, Lin Li had circled around them, stopping just as his back was to the door. What a golden opportunity!

Two black tower puppets flashed in from outside the door at lightning speed, each wielding a large hammer, and mercilessly smashed it down at Lin Li.

This hammer looks pretty sturdy; if it really hits him, it'll knock him unconscious at least. Okay!

In the nick of time, Lin Li calmly turned around and instantly took control of the two black tower puppets.

The Black Tower doll's movements were frozen in time, holding a hammer bigger than itself, which looked quite comical.

When Lin Li noticed that Black Tower's state was always one of "confidence and composure," she wondered what methods Black Tower would use to counter her control.

The answer is the Black Tower Doll!

Lin Li knew that the Black Tower could descend at any time with its consciousness to control the puppets' actions. Since the NPC world was a 100% replica, the replica Black Tower puppets naturally could not escape the control of the Black Tower itself.

The fact that the "interaction" function can only control the body, not the consciousness, and cannot stop the Black Tower from using consciousness to control the puppets is easy to understand.

Once he figured it out, things became much easier. He deliberately turned his back to the door, creating an opening, and observed the Black Tower's true form to judge when she would strike. When the Black Tower's true form's state changed from "confident" to "confused" and finally to "multitasking," Lin Li knew she was...

Shot!

After subduing the two Black Tower puppets, Lin Li turned around, smiled slightly at the Black Tower itself, and said, "That's it?" The Black Tower itself, at this moment, was practically emitting smoke from all seven orifices.

There was no other reason than that, from the perspective of the two black tower dolls, she saw her own fair and jade-like body and finally understood why Lin Li had been looking at her like that earlier!

My clothes were taken off, and I didn't even realize it!

Only then did Black Tower realize that despite his best efforts to prepare, he had underestimated Lin Li's abilities!

“I bet there’s a huge group of Black Tower dolls outside. Why don’t you take them and charge again?” This time, Lin Li got right up to the Black Tower, their faces almost touching, his hot breath spraying onto her beautiful face.

Or are you giving up? Are you prepared to accept the punishment for offending me? The second update is here!

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Black Tower's Struggle to Adapt

Black Tower was naturally unwilling to admit defeat so easily; she still had one last resort: her mirror.

These four mirrors are the culmination of her wisdom. In addition to assisting her in various research, they also possess powerful combat capabilities. She can control the mirrors with her mind to launch attacks, which is her last resort!

But when she tried to manipulate the mirror, she found that she couldn't sense its presence at all! Where is my mirror?

Black Tower quickly switched his view through the puppet and discovered that the mirror, which should have been in the room, had completely disappeared! This was naturally Lin Li's doing again.

All of Black Tower's psychological states were clearly displayed in the information bar that Lin Li could see, and Lin Li's understanding of Black Tower far exceeded Black Tower's expectations.

Lin Li knew that the Black Tower also had a mirror that could be manipulated; that was her real backup plan!

Furthermore, since the mirror is an object, it lacks an information bar and an "Interact" button, so Lin Li couldn't control it like a puppet. His solution was simple: designate the mirror as the target to be cleared by the "Clean" skill and then proceed with the cleanup.

The [Clean] skill allows Lin Li to set cleanup targets, so its function is not limited to cleaning or cleaning a girl's body.

It can also be used as a combat skill.

It can't even be considered a battle. Within the range of his skills, he can eliminate anything he wants at will. This is godlike power!

Even the last mirror had lost contact, and Black Tower was finally starting to lose her composure! She had truly exhausted all her methods this time!

"Was it because you wanted to use the mirror but couldn't get in touch? Miss Black Tower, I know you far more than you think. Having completely controlled this genius renowned throughout the stars, Lin Li felt no sense of pride; it was just routine."

He gently kissed Black Tower's face and chuckled, "Let's collect some interest first. After I deal with the puppets outside, I'll consider how to punish you." This was the first time in his life he'd been so intimate with a man, and completely naked at that. A faint blush visibly rose on Black Tower's face.

Crimson.

Although she was an arrogant genius, she was still human and possessed the same sense of shame. Lin Li teased the Black Tower briefly before leaving the living room and entering the hallway.

As he expected, the corridor was teeming with Black Tower dolls from the space station. He brought all the dolls under control to prevent the Black Tower from causing any more trouble.

Lin Li naturally has the highest level of authority in this world, but he doesn't know as much about the space station as Black Tower does about it.

If the space station has some kind of self-destruct device, and the Black Tower, driven to desperation, secretly uses its puppets to blow it up, that would be too much of a loss! After confirming that all the Black Tower puppets were under control, Lin Li leisurely returned to Ais's living room.

Black Tower's consciousness followed Lin Li out, and she witnessed Lin Li simply walk through the crowd, leaving all the puppets unable to move.

The Black Tower gained a new understanding of Lin Li's power, or rather, his authority in this world.

Back in the living room, Lin Li picked up Hei Ta in his arms. The girl's delicate and smooth skin felt wonderful to the touch. With a thought, he manipulated the [Dress Up] button and removed the last piece of clothing covering Hei Ta's body, including her black high and low boots.

As Lin Li carried him to Estella's bed in her bedroom, Black Tower felt a growing sense of panic. Was he really going to do this?!

In Black Tower's eyes, Lin Li was a complete lecher. He had carried her to bed while she was naked, and it was obvious what he wanted to do with her!

But all her methods failed, and she was completely unable to resist, so she could only resign herself to her fate.

"Miss Black Tower, what do you think I should do to punish you?" Lin Li whispered in her ear, while sticking out his tongue and gently licking her crystal-clear earlobe.

Black Tower's earlobes were soft and cool to the touch, and felt wonderful.

Moreover, this was one of her sensitive areas; Lin Li only touched it lightly, and the girl's face flushed a captivating red.

He gently touched the girl's earlobe with the tip of his tongue, the faint fragrance of the young girl lingering around his nose, like savoring a spoonful of exquisite vanilla ice cream.

The girl's state had changed from "a little flustered" to "shy and ashamed".

The shyness stemmed from Lin Li's flirting, while the embarrassment and annoyance arose from the fact that she had a physical reaction to his advances! The genius Black Tower, who had never had intimate contact with any man before, felt an indescribable restlessness upon being kissed on the earlobe for the first time! Lin Li hadn't considered this possibility; he assumed Black Tower was annoyed and regretful for her forceful provocation.

His punishment continued, a rain of kisses falling from her beautiful, radiant face to her swan-like, long, white neck, then to her delicate collarbone, and finally landing on her full breasts.

That was one of the most beautiful sights ever seen!

Like two vibrant red plum blossoms blooming on a snow-capped mountain, or two enormous cream cakes adorned with two ripe strawberries. Their curves are exquisite, perfectly natural, and utterly captivating.

The Black Tower's rabbits are quite large; Lin Li just measured them yesterday, and they're definitely D-cups!

He first gently kneaded the girl's skin with his hands, feeling its softness and elasticity, and then lowered his head to taste the two delicious strawberry cream cakes.

The girl's naturally delicate fragrance became slightly stronger, like a rare orchid in a secluded valley, refreshing and delightful.

The sweet strawberry cream cake could not satisfy the greedy Lin Li. After a brief pause, he continued down, passing over his flat stomach and finally arriving at the front of the deep valley.

The valley was barren of weeds, and the door was tightly shut, seemingly unwelcoming to outsiders. It must have just rained inside, as the dampness was quite evident, suggesting a heavy downpour.

He actually visited here yesterday. Black Tower is indeed more sensitive than other girls; it's a physiological reaction that she can't change.

"Tsk, is Miss Black Tower really that sensitive?" Lin Li teased mischievously, glancing at Black Tower's expression.

To his surprise, Black Tower seemed to have gradually adjusted; her state had even shifted to "adaptation." Was this the mindset of a top genius?

If you can't resist, try your best to adapt to the status quo, don't waste your emotions on unnecessary things, and try to maintain your rational thinking. It's really surprising.

Fortunately, you didn't also become someone who "silently enjoys" the punishment, otherwise Lin Li would have felt resentful. Lin Li had originally intended to escalate the punishment further, but at this moment, she suddenly changed her mind.

"Alright, that's enough of the punishment for now. I'm releasing you now, so you should be able to speak properly now, right?"

The first update is here! Thank you to 色白尔蓉 for the generous donation!

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Bet with the Black Tower

Lin Li's words surprised Hei Ta. She thought she was doomed to be trapped by this guy today, but he actually pulled back from the brink and gave up on humiliating her.

It seems I misjudged him again. He may be lustful, but he is not lewd; he still has some principles.

Lin Li wasn't as noble as she thought; he was simply driven by desires that went far beyond what she desired. He wanted not only the people of Black Tower, but also her heart.

It's easy for someone to want her; Lin Li could just pick up his spear and charge into battle right now. But that would also essentially eliminate any possibility of completely conquering Black Tower's heart, something Lin Li doesn't want to see.

Winning over such a genius isn't easy; of course, a little bit of playing hard to get is necessary. The punishment is meant to intimidate her and first deter this big crab that has wandered into the fishpond.

Lin Li readily released his grip, and Black Tower regained his composure, refraining from any further aggressive actions. "Could you please give me back my clothes?"

Black Tower's expression was indifferent, her fair body resembling a blooming snow lotus. Despite trying to adapt to the situation, she still felt strange talking to others while naked, so she made an effort.

"No, this is also within the scope of punishment. I'll return it to you next time you come!" The refusal was not unexpected by Black Tower.

She glanced at the police officer's mouth, shuffled her legs over, and snuggled into her student's bed, leaning against the sleeping Estella. She muttered, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Tell me why you went to all this trouble to get here." "You know what I want to do?"
