Collapse, survive

"Yes, yes, senior star."

Star Core Spirit was pleased by the address of "senior" and, beaming with joy, forgot about the previous incident where he had used his defenses to descend.

Fang Jie's original study plan... continues.

It just added the opportunity to expand one's network.

……

……

A long time ago, or not long ago.

The Black Tower of the Genius Club is not satisfied with the laws of the ordinary world. It turns its attention to the unsolved mysteries in the galaxy and hopes that those distant mysteries can satisfy its curiosity.

To this end, the Black Tower spearheaded the construction of a museum-style interstellar ship and launched it into planetary orbit, initiating research into "sealing all the strange things within the stars."

The renowned space station, the Black Tower, was thus born.

This space station, the Black Tower, was built with funding from the Interstellar Peace Corporation and is privately owned by the Genius Club #83, the Black Tower. The station has a diverse population, but only those with extraordinary talents can set foot here.

At this moment, in the Black Tower Space Station, a place with extremely high technological content that appears unremarkable at first glance, teeming with talents ranging from ordinary citizens to galactic grunts, two figures, acting as if they were outsiders, directly warped into existence.

"Space station, your star has returned."

Xing strutted out of the boundary anchor with an arrogant expression. This was something only she could do, able to travel back and forth without using a train.

This body is really...sturdy.

As for whether a solution can also achieve this?

Did you secretly put me in a team?

Fang Jie suppressed his desire to test his abilities here and looked at Xing with suspicion.

He didn't unlock the space station's boundary anchor, but the train had the corresponding records. All that was needed was the corresponding coordinates to teleport him... Well, as long as he could withstand this kind of jump.

Then Hoshino lent a hand; she didn't understand the principle herself, but she just managed to do it.

"Huh? How did you know!"

Xing looked surprised; this was her little secret, which she had only told March 7th.

March, and you betrayed me again!

This isn't something that can be resolved with just one cup of milk tea; it needs to be three.

"I know a lot more."

Fang Jie sighed, "What reality distortion field, what galactic game player hacker, none of them can compare to you, Xing."

He couldn't help but wonder if he was being too conventional, that his daily practice of abstract concepts was no match for a genius's flash of inspiration.

Xing took Fang Jie for a stroll around the space station, unlocking new maps, especially the pioneering dungeons like the simulated calyx. Watching her excitedly activating things everywhere, Fang Jie could only silently activate the new realm anchor.

There are also gaps in development.

After a busy day of running around, the busy staff members along the way didn't say much; everyone was busy with their own tasks.

"Come on, let me introduce you to everyone."

Xing didn't care; she had almost finished unlocking the new map, but she didn't plan to fight monsters immediately, after all, the solution...

This guy is a mole.

Let's start with the quests. When helping newbies with quests, the first step is to get to know people, showcase the senior's extensive network, and show off to them.

Go find Estelle!

As a friendly force of the Star Train that helped the space station repel the antimatter legion and defeat the Doomsday Beast, Xing indeed holds a heroic status on the space station.

Of course, more importantly, Black Tower admires her.

So she could come and go as she pleased here. She could enter any of the Black Tower offices whenever she wanted, with doors opening automatically for her without needing to verify her identity frequently. Coming here was like coming home.

She did indeed give birth here.

"This place looks... like it's in a lot of need of rebuilding."

Along the way, he was constantly admiring the scenery of the space station, which was dazzling. However, out of respect for the inhabitants of the space station, Fang Jie simply enjoyed the scenery and looked at the wonders.

Frankly, it was so advanced that it didn't feel like he was in space. This wasn't because the gravity, humidity, ecology, spacetime, etc., were too close to the interior of a planet, but because the space station itself was a museum-like interstellar ship built within an imaginary shield. Not to mention the companies that funded it, the knowledge contained within the Black Tower itself made this place equivalent to a "world," a 'scientific research spaceship' that incubated a 'simulated universe'.

Considering that Black Tower prefers to be a magical girl, this is probably her witch's barrier.

Yes, there's also Black Tower City inside the barrier.

Traces of the previous antimatter invasion can still be seen occasionally along the way.

Fang Jie stared at the remnants of the rift's erosion. Although it was sealed, it wouldn't disappear on its own. At least, the Black Tower had no interest in dealing with it, and the rebuilt space station didn't address it immediately.

"Yes, everything was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt. Things are much better now. When I came here, it was a chaotic mess."

Because Fang Jie really liked certain words, Xing was assimilated into a cultural figure under his influence.

She is incredibly intelligent, but she doesn't use it.

"How old are you?"

The person making the complaint wasn't Fang Jie, but Estádio.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already arrived at the main control module. The girl who was originally standing on the holographic control panel had already noticed them, but she didn't care that they were wandering around, since they were all one of their own.

But since it was clearly aimed at her, she still greeted it.

"Long time no see, Star. And this new member of the Star Train, I am Estella, the stationmaster who assists Lady Black Tower in managing the space station."

Estella greeted them.

Her side bangs were tied up with delicate gold accessories and braided into a side ponytail. She wore a bright, lively, youthful, and stylish 'uniform' that accentuated her authority and competence, and showed how well she managed the space station.

This is also a cute pink-haired girl, but unlike March 7th, she is also a rich woman.

As the actual manager of the space station, she was also responsible for coordinating many agreements with the Black Tower. When she received the summons from the Star Train, she naturally arranged the corresponding handover, and also... to meet the newcomer.

"It's been so long, Estella, I missed you so much!! Waaaaah..."

Xing cried out in sorrow, stepped forward, stepped on Fang Jie's toes and then retreated, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, and stared blankly at Estella.

"W-what's wrong? Well... I miss you too."

Xing was even more heartbroken. What a wonderful rich friend she was! Unlike Xiao Sanyue, unlike the newbie Fang Jie—she was so pitiful!

She then moved forward and backward, her long legs treading out the steps of an emperor's dance.

"Shut up, don't cry, I'll do the weeping!"

Fang Jie elbowed his senior, turning her from a pose of grabbing her feet and stomping on them into pushing her behind Estella, her buttocks facing him.

Then, Fang Jie, without changing his expression, went to meet Estádio.

"Hello, Ms. Estelle, I am Fang Jie, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Fang Jie appeared to be very polite.

He wouldn't dare embarrass the prestigious Pioneer Star Train, so he struck a pose like a chivalrous knight, placing one hand on his chest, then clasping his hands in a traditional Chinese gesture of respect, saying, "I've heard so much about you," and then...

Estelle had to interrupt him: "Hello, Mr. Fang Jie, a new member of the Star Train. Welcome to the space station. Just call me Estelle, no need to be so polite."

Fang Jie's words were so tactful that Estádio also curtsied, lifting her skirt in return.

After all, the Star Core Spirit was quite abstract. She had already brazenly approached Estella from behind, crawling on the ground like a band member, making no attempt to hide her curiosity about what was under Estella's skirt from the perfect angle...

Estella quickly pulled back.

"It's pink."

Xing was excited; she had found something good.

I know!

Estella was starting to lose her composure. "What did you teach her, Miss March?"

She still remembered Xing from not long ago; he was so brave, fearless, full of curiosity, and as pure as ever. He provided so much help to the space station and was a great hero.

How did things change like this?

That's right, you have to be there when everyone is playing with you, otherwise you don't know what kind of image you'll have.

We can't let Esta think that Himeko corrupted Hoshi.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Mature, steady, and reliable applies to anyone outside of Star Train March 7th and Star, although sometimes I am not quite so mature, steady, and reliable.

Estella pulled Star up: "Alright, alright, I know why you've come. The Star Train has sent a summons, and I've prepared the supplementary agreement regarding Lady Black Tower. I'll send it to the Star Train immediately via express delivery. If there's nothing else, I hope you can go see Lady Black Tower. She's been thinking of you."

When in doubt about important matters, consult the Black Tower.

This isn't about shifting blame; the Black Tower is genuinely concerned about the stars right now.

Stop posting it! Stop posting it!

There was a woman named Estád, but she didn't say who she was.

Fang Jie looked at this scene, especially the Star Core Spirit's smug expression, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

You don't have the Valkyrie Touch System, the Level 10 Affection Manifestation, or any other Affection System... You're the only one who doesn't have it, Star!

That look in his eyes—three parts mockery, three parts mockery, three parts mockery, three parts mockery…

Estella felt a chill run down her spine.

She had a general idea that this new member of the Star Train was also an abstract entity. Was this the high-end faction of the galaxy?

Finally, when she started to change the subject and talk about her career, Xing obediently left, taking Fang Jie to the Black Tower office.

Arrogant and haughty!

Let me tell you, those Black Tower little people are really interesting, especially their obedience. If I tell them to beg me, they'll obediently beg me...

This scene was being watched by the Black Tower doll.

"The newest member of the Star Train is quite interesting."

The voice, with its underlying arrogance, was crisp and pleasant, containing neither malice nor goodwill, but simply driven by pure curiosity.

Esta remembered Fang Jie's identity and granted him a fairly high level of visitor authentication privileges, but these privileges were not enough to prevent him from being glanced at on his way to the Black Tower office.

Then the Black Tower Man discovered something amiss.

Just as the Black Tower has been collecting strange objects all over the galaxy to solve the mysteries of the universe and seek answers to questions, she is curious about these things that she cannot understand at a glance, and the duration of her curiosity varies.

And the solution...

As an unknown passenger boarding the Star Train, it wouldn't hurt to take a look, and then...

I thought having a star core installed in my body was already incredibly powerful, but whose subordinate is this? The Chaos Healers have become so powerful that they let this filthy thing roam around, even letting it onto the Star Train and sending it to my space station...

What have you discovered through your exploration?

Whether it's precious or not is another matter, but it's certainly rare and cherished.

So when Fang Jie arrived at the Black Tower office, he saw a puppet looking over at just the right moment. Although it was not tall, only 1.2 Pan, it was incredibly arrogant, exuding a height and majesty that others could not understand.

"You, it's you... Get away from me!"

The second half was addressed to Xing. The doll had no objection to Xing running over and lifting Black Tower's skirt, but she couldn't accept Xing picking her up.

"Look, that's the Black Tower Man! Unparalleled in the world, stunningly beautiful, and exceptionally intelligent..."

The star is still showing off; the child loves to tell the truth.

"Move aside."

Black Tower's lips curled into a smile, and he said matter-of-factly, "Come here, let me take a look."

"Huh? Me! Me?"

Although Fang Jie had some suspicions, he tried to play dumb when things really came to this.

"Don't play dumb, you little brat, there's something fishy about you, the more I look at you, the more suspicious you seem."
