Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 530 "The Audience System"

Black Tower Space Station.

At that time, the Black Tower space station was quiet and deserted.

Everyone seemed to fall silent.

The once bustling research staff have all disappeared, and even the virtual soldiers in the previously invaded containment module have been wiped out.

Just then, a playful and cheeky voice suddenly rang out.

"Look, where is this? It's the Black Tower Space Station—a camp of geniuses, a cradle of science."

"Look at these Black Tower dolls, how exquisitely crafted they are! I've heard more than once people secretly praising them behind their backs, 'She's so beautiful...'"

"But if you ask me, their recreation of Lady Black Tower's beauty isn't even a tenth... no, not even a hundredth. This isn't flattery; I'm just stating an objective fact..."

"Do you remember this scene? What an exhilarating sight! The esteemed Lady Black Tower of the Genius Club 83 is questioning the great Enlightened One, seeking the secrets of 'divinity' from Him!"

"Continuing from where we left off, the legendary tale of a genius capable of rewriting galactic history begins here..."

Suddenly, the Black Tower's voice rang out.

"I said, the fourth mirror—who are you talking to?"

The Fourth Mirror: "Uh... I was just trying to add a bit of ceremony to our entrance, Lady Black Tower."

Black Tower scoffed, "Oh, the ceremony of a first appearance..."

"...There's no way such a thing exists! It would be fine if I could actually talk to the machine head, but the problem is...it's not responding at all!"

The Fourth Mirror: "Uh... But Lady Black Tower, look here... Judging from this image alone, you are clearly already standing in front of the Venerable Master Boshi, aren't you?"

"Oh, that? It's just a holographic projection. It's impossible to actually summon the real machine head here," Black Tower said nonchalantly.

The Fourth Mirror: "So you were just reciting lines to a projection?!"

“That’s called a sense of ritual. Isn’t that what you value most?” Heita said, fiddling with his hair.

"Enough with the useless talk. Do you know how difficult it is to send a message to Master Boshi? I went to great lengths—"

"To power the 'Visit System,' I had to draw upon the entire space station's energy, putting it into a state of silence, and then restarting it afterwards. Do you know how high the cost is for all of this?"

The Fourth Mirror: "How tall?"

Black Tower thought for a moment, "Hmm... money matters are not my responsibility. You should ask Estádio."

The Fourth Mirror was speechless: "So you didn't know either!"

Black Tower crossed his arms. "I am Black Tower itself, the messenger of 'Intelligence,' a genuine genius—cost control? That's too mundane."

The Fourth Mirror immediately chimed in, saying cheekily, "You're absolutely right, Ms. Black Tower! For a genius like you, the company should unconditionally provide all the resources you need and let you squander them on the topics that interest you!"

The Fourth Mirror: "In that case, Black Tower itself, the messenger of 'intelligence,' a genuine genius... what do you plan to do now?"

"What else can we do? Of course, we need to find out the malfunction in the 'Visiting System' and fix it."

Black Tower shrugged.

The Fourth Mirror: "Uh...excuse my bluntness, Ms. Black Tower, you certainly have many areas of expertise. But are you sure 'hands-on ability' is still one of your strengths?"

The Fourth Mirror: "If it were me, I would suggest you contact Stephen..."

"Contact him and tell him that I spent a lot of money just to cram a sentence into the head of the machine, and ended up messing everything up?"

The Fourth Mirror: "Or contact Eve. She is far superior to you in terms of both physical and destructive abilities."

“However, Eve…” Black Tower’s expression was somewhat serious.

She looked at the information being uploaded back from the control panel.

[Eve: I have arrived in the Grylls 667 system.]

......

[Eve: Something's unusual here. I encountered a bug that looks a lot like the computing power scorpion. There's still no news about Ruan Mei.]

......

Eve: Don't look, before I've sorted all this out.

......

This was Eve's last message.

Although it seemed ordinary, something was amiss in front of the Black Tower.

How could Eve say something like that?

Moreover, her communication with Eve was also cut off.

No matter how she asked Eve, she received no response.

Black Tower couldn't help but worry about what might have happened to Eve when she arrived.

If it weren't for the fact that she had been preparing for this "meeting system" to see the Venerable Master for a whole year, she would have already gone to find Eve and the others.

But Black Tower isn't stupid. Eve's words meant she didn't want her involved, but it didn't necessarily mean Eve was in danger.

After all, that guy is the throne.

They belong to the category of beings with a significant power gap in the universe.

Even Polkakaka couldn't do anything about Eve.

Right now, it's more important for me to meet with Venerable Boshi. I'll investigate this thoroughly when I have more free time.

The Fourth Mirror: "What's wrong, Ms. Black Tower?"

Black Tower shook his head. "It's nothing."

Black Tower walked towards the "Meeting System" not far away.

"Look, that's the terminal for the 'Visit System.' Come on, let's go check it out."

The Fourth Mirror: "Yes, ma'am! Oh, it's a pity I can't walk, I can only float..."

Black Tower glanced helplessly at the Fourth Mirror. "You seem to be making a lot of witty remarks today?"

The Fourth Mirror: "Really? Maybe my mirror broke, that's why so much skin was pried off, haha."

"A boring, lame joke." Black Tower rolled its eyes at it.

At this moment, a person and a mirror arrived in front of the "Meeting System".

The Fourth Mirror: "Hmm... so this is the 'Visiting System'? It looks pretty much the same as the simulated universe."

“You’re right. They use the same underlying logic and are essentially the same thing,” Black Tower said.

The Fourth Mirror: "Oh, I see. So this is what they call 'effective learning'? Hehe..."

Black Tower rolled its eyes at it again. "If you keep spouting nonsense, I guarantee my assistant's name will become 'The Fifth Mirror'."

The Fourth Mirror: "No, Ms. Black Tower, I have the First, Second, and Third Mirrors to support. Don't fire me, well, although I don't need to eat either."

A thumbs-up symbol suddenly appeared above the Black Tower's head: "The Fifth Mirror".

The Fourth Mirror: "No, no, no, Lady Black Tower, I was wrong."

Black Tower crossed his arms and continued, "Alright, let's get down to business. I've divided the 'Appointment System' into three sectors: the 'Energy Sector,' the 'Computing Power Sector,' and the 'Communication Sector.' Each sector operates independently, only connecting through the pathway of 'Intelligence' when the system is activated."

"It's not easy to say a word to the machine head. Such a meticulous system is extremely difficult to test or maintain regularly, so it's normal for minor problems to occur," she sighed.

The Fourth Mirror: "I see. So, Ms. Black Tower, based on your professional assessment—which sector is malfunctioning?"

Black Tower said confidently, "Simple, of course all three of them are in trouble."

The fourth mirror fell silent.

Black Tower waved his hand, "It's nothing serious, just a little technical adjustment."

“The three sectors are independent, so we have to troubleshoot them one by one. If you're ready, we'll start by checking the ‘Energy Zone’.”

The Fourth Mirror: "I am a mirror, Lady Black Tower! As long as you in the mirror are ready, then I am ready."

"Stop being so playful, or I might really smash you to pieces."

Black Tower reached out and activated the "Meeting System".

Instantly, the Black Tower's consciousness, along with the Fourth Mirror, was transmitted into the "Meeting System".

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a snowfield.

The fourth mirror suddenly trembled from the cold. "Hehehe... Why is this 'energy zone' so cold? Hehehe... My mirror is almost frosted over!"

The Black Tower, unfazed by the cold, solemnly declared, "What do you think? I've converted all the energy of the Black Tower space station into imaginary states and stored it in this sector. If it weren't for the ultra-low temperature environment, the space station would have been blown to bits long ago."

The Fourth Mirror: "Hehehe... But... weren't we already... in the sky?"

Black Tower kicked the Fourth Mirror, saying, "As a mirror, isn't your sense of humor a bit excessive?"

The Fourth Mirror: "Ms. Black Tower, I... I was just trying to ease the cold atmosphere, wasn't I?"

"Your lame jokes only make this place colder," Black Tower said irritably.

The Fourth Mirror: "Well, then I'll tell some hot jokes next time."

"The best joke is if you shut up."

As Black Tower spoke, he investigated where the problem lay.

Suddenly, she saw a group of Rift creatures ahead of her.

"Where did those things come from? Necrotic data? Reactivated system rust? That can't be... Could it be that the Legion has attacked again?"

"I just cleared out all the dummy units on the space station a few days ago."

"Forget it, whatever, we have to clean it all up anyway. Stay close to me, don't break it easily!"

Black Tower, staff in hand, strode forward.

The fourth mirror followed timidly behind.

The Fourth Mirror: "You wretched monsters! I'll show you the power of my master!"

Black Tower's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

"Isn't it usually the pets who charge ahead? Why is it you...?"

The Fourth Mirror: "Hehe, Ms. Black Tower, good luck."

Knowing that the Fourth Mirror was not good at combat, Black Tower shook his head and stopped pursuing the matter.

With a casual wave of her hand, four or five magic cards were thrown out, each one hitting the monster precisely.

With a "bang".

All the monsters from the Rift couldn't withstand the Black Tower for even a second; they were nothing but a rabble.

The fourth mirror: "Ms. Black Tower, a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky; Ms. Black Tower, a beauty that could shame the moon and put flowers to shame; Ms. Black Tower, exceptionally intelligent!"

"That's enough. I have someone else to do the job of praising the villain."

The Fourth Mirror: "Okay."

The Fourth Mirror: "Madam, what is this?"

Suddenly, the fourth mirror noticed that a bubble had appeared in the spot.

This is not something that should be here.

Black Tower also looked over, and with her extensive knowledge, she recognized the object at a glance.

"That one, it should just be a regular memory bubble, right? Nothing special, there are them everywhere in the other compartments too."

The Fourth Mirror: "Hmm...that's interesting."

"Let's go, there's only the second half left."

The Black Tower continued its advance, annihilating all the Rift creatures with overwhelming force.

The Fourth Mirror: "Hehehe... As expected of Lady Black Tower, these guys are no match for her!"

Black Tower crossed his arms, looking extremely arrogant. "Hmph, a piece of cake~"

"Now it's quiet! Let's pack up and move on to the next sector."

The Fourth Mirror: "Roger! I will follow Lady Black Tower forever!"

.........

"Visiting System" computing power zone.

The Black Tower and the Fourth Mirror arrived at the computing power zone.

This isn't a snow and ice scene anymore; the background has been replaced by a space station.

However, the buzzing insects in the distance were quite bothersome.

The Fourth Mirror: "What...what is this?! Where did all these disgusting bugs come from?"

"To even see the machine head, your computing power must be at least on par. If you can't perform tens of thousands of floating-point operations per second, it won't even sense your presence," Black Tower explained.

"But too much computing power also has its downsides; it attracts these 'computing power stingers'—one branch of their 'breeding' offspring, and we don't know how they evolved."

"Speaking of which, Eve's text message also mentioned these things."

"In short, no one knows where these things came from, and no one has studied them."

The Fourth Mirror: "Why Lady Black Tower?"

"Because it doesn't make sense."

"Perhaps Eve, who holds the destiny of life in her hands, would be interested."

Actually, despite saying that, Black Tower had already developed some interest in these insects.

It's not because Black Tower's values ​​have changed, but because Eve mentioned them.

But not now.

There are many topics to tackle, and we need to address them one by one.

The fourth mirror: "Life... indeed, it's amazing, isn't it? But it still can't compare to a talking mirror, haha."

The Fourth Mirror: "By the way, Ms. Black Tower—since you have such a powerful supercomputer, what exactly does it usually... uh... calculate?"

Black Tower countered, "Does that matter? I just need to get it running and get the machine head's attention."

"For example, let them do some calculations about that Eve guy."

"Of course, I don't expect this computing power to simulate an Eve, but it's enough to attract the attention of the mechanical head."
