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

"You! We just agreed that it would only happen once!" Black Tower misunderstood for a moment, thinking that he was going to do it again now!

"Don't worry, I keep my word. Today I'll do what I said I would do, but you have to keep your promise too, Ta Bao!" Lin Li said, raising his index finger and waving it.

"According to our bet, you can't wear clothes in this office from now on, whether I'm here or not. But special circumstances can be handled differently, such as when other people come to the office or if there are other needs, that can be accommodated."

"I know without you telling me!" Black Tower's stunningly beautiful face puffed out slightly, looking somewhat sullen. Of course, after losing the bet and signing such a humiliating agreement, how could she possibly be happy!

"Of course, if you leave this office, you can dress however you like, I won't interfere. Our bet is only valid in this office."

“Alright!” Black Tower wrinkled its cute little nose and said, “Then, according to the agreement, shouldn’t you also guarantee my research?”

"Of course, you can research whatever you want. As long as I can do it, I will cooperate with you." Lin Li was not worried that the Black Tower's research would jeopardize his privileges.

He knew, of course, that the level of this world was even higher than that of the Star Gods, and that no matter how talented Black Tower was, it would take him a while to figure it out.

By the time she achieved results, her own access level had already been raised to an unknown level.

Besides, he should have already won over Ta Bao's heart long before this, so what is there to be afraid of!

"Then you must cooperate with me to begin the research now!" As expected of a top genius, Black Tower adjusted his emotions very quickly and entered working mode so soon.

Moreover, she was utterly ruthless when it came to ordering people around. Even Lin Li, who had just bullied her, was given orders by her without hesitation.

"Hey? Now? Sure, I'm free anyway. What direction are you planning to take?" Lin Li said nonchalantly, quite willing to cooperate.

For Black Tower, it's about conducting research, but for Lin Li, isn't this her actively giving him an opportunity?

Giving Lin Li a chance to interact with her is practically giving her away for free!

"As for where to start, let's begin with [Perspective Sharing]." After cleaning himself of the gunpowder, Black Tower skillfully began operating the terminal in the office.

Although this is an NPC world, it is also the Black Tower space station. Without Lin Li's intervention, the Black Tower's authority is actually very high. After all, it's a complete replica of the real world; whatever authority the Black Tower has in reality, it also has here.

Since she wasn't dressed and it was inconvenient for her to go out, she would control the little black tower doll to do any chores. Soon, the little black tower doll brought back a set of equipment filled with various pipes.

"Lie down, and after I've set up the equipment, you can enter the shared view. I'll try to see if I can capture anything."

When Black Tower is in work mode, she has a completely different style. She is decisive and efficient, and her beautiful face shines with confidence, completely shedding the girlish attitude she had when Lin Li bullied her.

However, she was only wearing a pair of over-the-knee black stockings, which gave her an indescribable sense of absurdity.

Black Tower also felt something was off, and could only force himself into a state of complete concentration to temporarily shake off this strange feeling. But from Lin Li's perspective, it was different.

The galaxy's top genius, the elegant and beautiful scientist Heta, walked around naked in front of him.

The various colored lights flashing on the instrument reflected on her fair and smooth skin, displaying a dazzling array of colors. With each step the girl took, the large rabbit on her chest bounced along with it.

This scene is simply too beautiful to look at!

Lin Li's dragon, roused, pitched a huge tent, forcing him to temporarily adjust its trajectory. Black Tower had actually seen everything; she felt a surge of shame, but forced herself not to think about it.

After Lin Li lay down, Hei Ta walked up to him, leaned down slightly, and his large breasts drooped down, swaying gently. This angle was absolutely stunning!

Black Tower pursed his lips, seemingly nonchalantly attaching various electrodes to Lin Li's head and chest, and said in a calm voice, "That's enough."

Let's see it from the Star Core Hunter's perspective!

Chapter Two is here! Thank you to 色白尔蓉 for the razor blades, and thank you to 次元姬16756473845720 for the monthly ticket support!!

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Lin Li's Perfect Perspective

Although she tried her best to appear nonchalant, Black Tower's slightly trembling fingertips revealed her inner turmoil when she applied the electrode pads.

This pose is so embarrassing!

Lin Li's handsome face was inches away; she could even see her own large, swaying reflection in his bright, star-like eyes. From Lin Li's perspective, it was absolutely the most beautiful sight. He gazed at her intently, almost reluctant to enter [view shared].

The state.

"Haven't you seen enough yet?" Lin Li's dawdling finally made Black Tower lose patience.

"Tsk! How can I ever get enough of this?" Lin Li began to scrutinize him even more brazenly. "You!" Black Tower glared at him angrily, but then said, "I can't do anything about it. I'm not teasing you anymore. Let's begin!"

Lin Li didn't keep teasing her; after all, there was plenty of time, and there was no rush. He squinted and immediately entered the [Shared Perspective] mode.

[Shared Perspective] is actually a skill for Lin Li, but it needs to be unlocked one by one to use. He concentrated and selected Kafka's perspective to look over.

In the real world, in a remote location on the Black Tower space station, a charming and alluring woman, a hacker girl chewing gum, and a gentle and quiet silver-haired beauty are having a meeting.

"Firefly, we are so grateful for your timely arrival, otherwise we would have had a really hard time leaving." Kafka held her wine glass, her demeanor still elegant and composed despite having just been surrounded.

"You're welcome, but how did the Black Tower manage to break your tails?" Firefly tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

The combination of Kafka and Silver Wolf would easily overthrow a regime anywhere else, so how come they are so ruthless on the space station?

Don't even mention it. Ever since we arrived at this space station, nothing has gone smoothly for us.

Silver Wolf complained and turned to Kafka, "By the way, Kafka, you said you made an important discovery. The pursuers can't find us for the time being, and Firefly is here too. Tell us about it!"

"Well, I was just about to tell you this. I think I've found the unknown power that Eriol mentioned before he disappeared!" "Huh? You found it?" The two beautiful girls simultaneously showed expressions of surprise.

Kafka immediately recounted her experiences in the NPC world after she fell asleep.

"Wait, are you sure you're not dreaming?" Kafka's story was so bizarre that even a Star Core Hunter who frequently dealt with Star Cores found it unbelievable.

“I’m sure I’m not dreaming.” Kafka rolled up her sleeves, revealing her smooth, fair arm, on which was a very noticeable ink dot. “That person named Lin Li taught me to use this method to verify. Before leaving that world, I found a pen and left this mark on my arm.”

Ink spots appeared on my body after I woke up, and I can't wash them off.

"So you're saying he was behind all of this?"

"It's hard to say, but our current disheveled state of hiding everywhere is probably related to him."

"So what do we do now? Go into that NPC world and kill him?" Silver Wolf cracked his knuckles, looking ready for a big fight. "It'll be difficult. His silent, manipulative methods are too mindless. I seriously doubt that even if Firefly piloted a mech, she wouldn't be a match for him."

Therefore, it's best to avoid conflict with him at this stage.

While the Star Core Hunters are indeed formidable in combat, and Liu Ying, piloting a mecha, even possesses the power to destroy a planet, it's still a bit too much of a stretch against a monster like Lin Li with his authority.

"Our most important task right now is to find a way to see the carrier and ensure that she can board the Star Train smoothly."

The trajectory of fate has already shifted beyond our control. Minor changes can be tolerated, but the overall direction must not be altered. If Xing hadn't boarded the train, the future would be chaotic, potentially even heading towards the worst possible outcome!

Kafka's tone became unusually serious.

“But we have absolutely no chance to see her now, let alone communicate with her.” Silver Wolf sighed. With Screw Goom around, the difficulty for her to break through the space station’s defense system has increased dramatically.

"How about I try to storm in with my mech?" Liu Ying's plan was simple and direct, which didn't quite match her pretty girl appearance.

"No, Xing won't see us when she wakes up, and we're not sure how much she'll remember. Relying on force rashly, even if we get to see her, we probably won't gain her trust, and it might even backfire."

Kafka shook her head and rejected the proposal.

"Oh, if only the negotiations had gone smoothly earlier, we wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble." Silver Wolf looked regretful.

"Let's look for another opportunity. If that doesn't work, there's one last thing." "What thing?"

"We'll talk about that later." NPC World, Black Tower Office.

Lin Li, whose head was covered with various instruments and cables, was participating in the Star Core Hunters' internal meeting through [Perspective Sharing]. Of course, he only had the right to listen in, not to speak.

Beside him, Heita sat upright, naked but with a focused and serious expression, truly in work mode. In front of her was a terminal displaying the meeting view that Lin Li was currently seeing.

To be fair, Black Tower's skills were quite impressive. Through her technical means, she connected Lin Li's consciousness to the terminal, allowing her to see the meeting scene that Lin Li was currently witnessing.

This technology is designed for Lin Li and connects to his consciousness, which is why it was successful, but it can only be used as a screen mirroring function.

She tried to observe the energy fluctuations and signals when Lin Li activated [Perspective Sharing], but unsurprisingly, she gained nothing, not even a trace.

Black Tower wasn't angry. If she could find out so easily, it wouldn't pique her interest.

She stared quietly at the screen on the terminal, able to hear even the sounds clearly. When she heard Silver Wolf say that the negotiations had failed, she nudged Lin Li.

Why did you stop Kafka from meeting Xing?

Although Black Tower did not object to Estádio's opinion at the time, she actually felt that there was nothing wrong with letting Kafka and Hoshi meet, as Hoshi was indeed suitable to travel with the Hoshi-Hunter train.

“It’s simple, Kafka is also my target!” Lin Li said matter-of-factly.

Black Tower, of course, understood what this so-called target meant, and muttered under his breath, "A pervert!"

"Hey, if you keep defaming me like this, I'm really going to do some of the things a pervert would do to you!" Black Tower shrugged, ignoring him.

"By the way, you absolutely mustn't tip them off and let them meet secretly!"

"I have no interest in your business!"

Chapter 1, thank you to the two great contributors, Mo Feng and Xing Xiang, for their monthly ticket support!

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The New House is Completed, and Estella is Ready!

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xingbao only came back once in the past two days. She spent the last two days with March 7th, having a blast at the space station and barely sleeping. Kafka also appeared once; she didn't come to see Lin Li, but quietly wandered around the space station observing, seemingly observing the surroundings.

Lin Li didn't disturb her.

The ones who come most frequently are still Estádio and Black Tower.

Black Tower quietly stays in his office doing research, rarely leaving the building. He uses his little Black Tower puppet to handle any needs he has.

Lin Li would frequently go over to nudge her, and a daily massage of her black-stockinged, jade-like feet was absolutely essential. Thanks to his tireless efforts, Black Tower's affinity with her increased rapidly, successfully reaching 60.

[Member: Black Tower] [Age: 18+]

[Affiliation: Genius Club]

[Status: Bonded] [Bond Level: 60]

[Operable functions: View sharing, real-time communication, reality mapping]

Estelle's bond level slowed down after reaching 60, gaining only 10 points in two days.

Of course, this is also related to the increasingly close relationship between Lin Li and her. Repeatedly performing intimacy activities that have already been unlocked will not increase the bond level further. Raising the Black Tower's level to 60 yielded 100 experience points and 300 skill experience points, plus the skill rewards from completing Black Tower's side quests.

With the experience points gained, Lin Li has successfully upgraded the [Recovery] skill once.

[Recovery] The skill upgrade effect is that the stored usage count has increased by one, from three to four. [Host: Lin Li]

[World Level: 1 (200/1000)] [Destiny: Not yet unlocked]

【已掌握技能：【清理】（300/500）；【恢复】（0/1000）】【未使用技能经验值：0]

It was daytime, and everyone was busy in the real world, so no one came to keep Lin Li company.

He idly fiddled with his phone for a while, checking his screen, when he received a message from Estádio in the group chat. Yes, they had created a group chat.

There are currently four people in the group: Lin Li, Aistar, Heita, and Xingbao.

The fact that the Black Tower had entered the NPC world couldn't be kept from Estella forever, so she found some time to talk to Estella about it.

However, she absolutely cannot reveal her bet with Lin Li, so the Black Tower office in the NPC world has now become a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to enter!

[Aista]: Lin Li, quickly use [Perspective Sharing] to see my perspective!

[Xingbao]: You can see it from my perspective too. [Linli]: Here I am!

For the past two days, Estella has been preventing Lin Li from using her perspective, saying she wanted to give him a surprise. Now that she's being so mysterious, the surprise must have finally arrived.

Lin Li entered Estella's perspective and saw a huge, luxurious room.

The room is located on the edge of the space station, so the bulkhead has a huge floor-to-ceiling window facing the vast universe and starry sea outside. There are two reclining chairs in front of the window, and a small astronomical telescope next to them.

The room was decorated with various exquisite and elegant furnishings, giving it a very stylish feel. Although Lin Li was completely unfamiliar with luxury brands popular in interstellar space, he could guess from the exquisite workmanship of these furnishings that they must be very expensive.

For an interstellar tycoon like Estádio to make a move is definitely extraordinary.

What caught Lin Li's eye the most was the large bed in the center of the room. It was so big and soft that it could easily sleep five or six people. Lin Li smiled and picked up his phone to send a message in the group chat.

[Lin Li]: Da Bao has really thought of me by preparing such a big bed.

The message was sent but no one responded. The three girls in the group had all developed intimate relationships with Lin Li to varying degrees, but none of them were quite clear about the other's situation.

Especially Black Tower, who kept it a complete secret. Estella was very curious whether Lin Li and Black Tower had ever clashed, but Lin Li replied with a sweet "they got along well."

It was stuffed through.

She absolutely dared not respond to those ambiguous questions posted in the group chat. So Aster chose to chat privately.

【Aista】: Oh dear, why are you bringing up such an awkward topic in the group chat?

[Lin Li]: Hehe, it's okay, we're all family, there's no need to feel awkward. [Aista]: I just can't do anything with you. Do you like the room I prepared for you?

[Lin Li]: Very good. I've already mapped it into the NPC world. Why don't you come over here and be my tour guide yourself?

Show me around?

[Aista]: Wait...wait until tonight, I still have work to do!
