The coin's surface shimmered with an iridescent halo, its edges rotating slowly like miniature planetary rings, before it fell from the sky with a soft 'ding' sound.
"I have subdued the Ether Spirit!"
Xing held up a coin and shouted.
"It seems that the final trump card will eventually come into my hands."
Qiong grabbed the coin that was shimmering with ethereal starlight and instantly refined it.
Before he could even strike a pose like a half-baked detective, a dazzling white light suddenly burst forth behind him, and Qiong instinctively turned around to look.
"That's it for now, what a pity~"
A silvery voice, carrying the fragrance of gardenias, suddenly approached. Before Qiong could react, she was enveloped by the soft, delicate touch of the flower.
The girl's warm, soft body pressed against him, her breasts barely curved, yet a clear sense of pressure emanated from through her clothes.
The next second, her crystal-clear lips pressed against his. Britta stood on tiptoe, causing her skirt to sway gently. She mischievously sucked on Qiong's lower lip, her pearly teeth playfully biting it lightly.
The starlight made her eyelashes almost transparent, and her magnificent face, paired with that playful and sassy smile, was captivating.
"Don't keep me waiting~"
As she finished speaking, Bunita's silhouette gradually blurred in the bright light, a sly smile still lingering on her lips.
With a crisp sound like shattering glass, two figures sprang from the blurry outline and landed on Qiong and in his left and right arms respectively.
The gold earrings on their left and right ears swayed in harmony.
Without even a moment's mourning for his first kiss, preserved for over a hundred years, being taken by that brat, nor time to savor the strange sensation of the kiss, the Great Black Tower, its consciousness snapping back to reality, hurriedly shouted:
"Mirror! Fourth Mirror! Get here right now!"
"The data, the data that Britta ordered you to save, should all of it be recorded?"
“Uh… Lady Black Tower, it’s good to see you’re safe and sound. I have a name now, which was changed by Lady Britta using her creator privileges: Asrod.”
The fourth mirror, reflecting the typical sycophantic reaction, bounced over, bowing and scraping.
"I don't care about your name, I only care about the data!"
The Great Black Tower, wielding the Purple Key Wand, tapped Asrod's mirror frame:
"Preserve Britta's vital signs, life field data, and the information she obtained from her conversation with the machine head completely! Not a single bit is allowed to be lost!"
"Yes, Your Excellency, Lady Black Tower!"
Despite being a perfectly square mirror, Asrod adopts an almost exaggerated, military-like posture, standing straight and saluting.
"Data integrity is 100%, and it has been encrypted and archived to the core storage."
After she finished speaking, a small star effect lit up on the mirror:
"All the data obtained from the communication with the great erudite was chained and organized by Ms. Bunita into research projects, which currently number 42."
"Well done, Britta!"
Upon hearing the number of projects reported by Asrod, even the pride of the Black Tower couldn't help but clap their hands excitedly.
It's like an avid bookworm suffering from a reading slump suddenly receiving 42 wonderful and captivating novels.
She will remain fully engaged in her research for a considerable period of time to come.
Well, the great Black Tower lady's academic pursuits are entirely driven by interest; if she loses interest halfway through, she immediately abandons all her previous efforts.
Therefore, several key leaps in civilization came to an abrupt end because they were "uninteresting," and even when the Erudite Society went to great lengths to obtain manuscripts, they often felt powerless and frustrated.
Miss Hatto nestled in Qiong's arms, staring at Qiong with wide eyes.
Unlike the genius Heta, it took her a full two minutes to recover from Britta's genius-level deep thinking.
Where is the stuff?
Ignoring the intimate moment between the two, Miss Hatbite hurriedly looked around: "Where's the stuff?!"
"Ok?"
Watching the little rabbit rummaging through his clothes, searching inside and out of every pocket, Xing tilted her head and asked, "Brownie, what are you looking for?"
"What Britta left behind."
He searched his pants pockets, back pockets, and clothes pockets, but found nothing. Haha Rabbit looked towards the large black tower that was communicating with Screw Gum and Ruan Mei:
"Hey, did Britta put that on you?"
Normally, if Haitu spoke to Daheita in this tone, the old woman would definitely retort in no time.
But now the Great Black Tower was very happy, and considering that the little devil's abilities had been of great help, she patiently confirmed it and gave him a friendly triple tap.
"I don't know, I don't have it, find it yourself."
"So, what good things did Britta leave behind? Was it something delicious?" March 7 asked curiously.
"Why don't you try this stuff, Ah Qi, and see what it tastes like?"
Qiong put something to March 7's mouth and stuffed it in.
"Ptooey! What is that?"
On March 7th, I took a bite, but couldn't bite through it.
How did the thing end up with you?
The horrified rabbit stopped searching.
"She put it in my mouth when we kissed," Qiong said truthfully.
"Oh."
Miss Hataku tugged at her rabbit-ear hood, lowering her head to hide her blushing face. Her mind had been preoccupied with this, but Qiong's sudden mention of kissing reminded her of what had just happened.
No, she just didn't understand. Britta was clearly even more arrogant than Black Tower, so why was she so attracted to Sora...?
Could it be that Black Tower, despite her seemingly gossipy nature, actually harbors feelings for Sora, and that her other self's feelings for Sora have led her to openly express them?
March 7th stuck out her tongue and took a closer look at what Qiong was holding:
"Hey, that shiny thing is... a light cone, right?"
"[Before the start of the beginner quests]"
Qiong handed the light cone to Hai Tu.
On the light cone.
A tide of fluorescent blue particle data swept across the sky and the earth, with a majestic warship floating within it, its main gun muzzle swirling with blue-white nebula vortexes gathering energy.
Cold tea leaves swayed as her long, blue-purple hair danced in the breeze, and the stunningly beautiful girl stood there quietly, seemingly the sole center of the world.
"This is a limited edition."
Haha Rabbit excitedly took the light cone: "After all, the real light cone is made using the technology of the Flowing Light Memory Court, and the Black Tower doesn't know how to make it either."
Not to mention her.
After the fusion is broken, neither of the two people using the earrings will retain any memories or knowledge of the other. So how can they utilize the knowledge of the Black Tower?
It's very simple, a light cone.
By encapsulating memories and knowledge within slices of light, and amplifying them with light cones, Haitu can project a star destroyer!
Of course, Haitu's projection capabilities also need to reach the corresponding energy level.
With the support of external plugins, the software system is limited by its inherent capabilities.
She can only project one or more fire control turrets on the Star Destroyer now; she can't directly construct the entire starship.
"What do you mean you don't know how? It's just light cone technology; I'm just not interested in it."
Hearing Haitu say that, the Great Black Tower was displeased.
The light cone is considered a relatively powerful enhancement artifact. The Black Tower collected several for research, but lost interest halfway through.
"Oh right, you're amazing."
Considering that even the limited (pirated) Light Cone was thanks to Black Tower, Miss Hatto expressed her friendliness in a monotone tone.
Black Tower's research on the light cone, combined with Britta's envoy-level projection abilities and etheric editing, allowed them to create a pirated light cone that could significantly enhance the combat power of the Haunted Rabbit.
The enhanced effects and performance are similar to the genuine version, but the underlying packaging principle is different, the framework is rough, and the shelf life is short.
Ultimately, it was something Britta produced in just a few tens of minutes.
Miss Haitu doesn't have high requirements; as long as it works, it's fine.
If it breaks, I can just act cute and clingy with Sora, borrow the earrings to merge with Black Tower, and let Britta rub it again.
"Bush, Germain, what newbie mission requires using a Star Destroyer?"
Xing stared at the pattern of the light cone, which had been cut into different sized eyes, and made a sarcastic remark.
Will this ignite a corporate war?
That's really quite a beginner's skill.
Nanuk is probably the only one suitable to be a game boss, right?
“Indeed, it feels like we can’t afford to take this.” March 7th nodded cutely.
In return, Ms. Haitu responded with a barrage of comments like, "Why can't I use the built-in modification?", "I didn't even turn it on, does turning it on even slightly count as turning it on?", and "I'm not lying, it really is a built-in modification."
Britta is half of her; the light cone she made herself, it's not an exaggeration to call it internal, right?
Bronya showed Pera the contract Oswaldo had signed, and the little round-faced girl immediately fell into a state of existential doubt.
Wow, that's a lot of credits!
"I admit, you gave me a surprise that exceeded my expectations! You made sure my original body didn't come for nothing."
The three geniuses finished their academic discussion, which they couldn't understand despite the presence of synesthetic beacons. The Great Black Tower walked up to Qiong with her beautiful legs encased in black stockings.
"That's right, Brother Qiong never lies."
Qiong grinned and smiled.
Screw Gum adjusted his top hat: "Let me reconfirm this: Mr. Qiong, regarding your previous assertion that 'earrings have the power to influence the Star God,' could it be referring to...?"
“That’s right. If we put the other earring on the Venerable Master, we should be able to merge with Him. However, due to the huge difference in their modes of existence, human consciousness will probably disappear.”
Qiong took the earring back from the reluctant Black Tower.
"...Can you even do something like this?"
Ruan Mei frowned slightly:
"What exactly is this earring?"
"Well, it's just like you see."
Qiong briefly explained the design of the earrings to the three geniuses.
“Even though I’ve tried it once, I still found it very interesting. Can I and Ruan Mei try it next time?”
The Great Black Tower is eager to make its move.
The fusion with the Haunted Rabbit shifted her way of thinking, but it still made her a genius.
She was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of sparks would fly if the minds of two geniuses merged and collided!
"Unfortunately, except for certain specific people, the vast majority of people cannot separate their earrings once they are put together. If you two try it, it's equivalent to completely giving up yourselves."
Qiong didn't say that either she or Xing had to be among the people who merged, otherwise there would be no way to explain Brownie.
"let it go."
Upon hearing this restriction, Black Tower immediately deflated.
"A specific person, including you?"
Ruan Mei gazed at the sky for a moment, then asked softly.
"Including me and Xing."
"Then, darling, can you merge with me?"
Ruan Mei spoke in a refined tone, uttering words that stirred the imagination.
