75. Dirty PY Deal
"Of course not. That's why I told you not to tell Black Tower that I was here. This could be a trap for me."
Silver Wolf also gave Paimon a bubble gum, and said with great pride: "When I hacked in for the second time, I found that the entry for the Ether cassette's strange item was artificially pinned to the top. It was so deliberate that it made me want to laugh. It was marked as 'Punk Lord Spirit'... Did you pay attention to that cassette when you tested the simulated universe?"
Sora and Paimon, who took the bubble gum from Silver Wolf, were surprised to find that this thing actually had substance, and it actually tasted sweet when they put it in their mouths... although it was very light.
Is this the ether editing technology? It's very similar to the method used by the Zelo people to extract matter from the virtual world.
"You knew it was a trap, but you still jumped in?"
"That's an ether cartridge, so what if I take a risk——"
"Wow, Silver Wolf's obsession with that thing is even deeper than your obsession with the treasure chest..."
Paimon flinched as the single drill curler leaned forward and nearly hit her.
"It's still incomparable. I open treasure chests just to satisfy my obsessive-compulsive disorder instead of looking forward to what's inside...Punk Lord Spirit...I have some impression that it's a strange item that will add extra weaknesses to the enemy."
Kong recalled the appearance of everything in the display cabinet, but he really couldn't remember which floor or location of the Black Tower this thing was placed on.
It was obvious that Kong had never seen the "original" version, otherwise he would not have been able to remember it.
"Maybe it's not on the shelf or in the containment chamber. The etheric cartridge can exist in the form of data or ether. If you haven't seen the physical object, the Black Tower must have hidden it or put it into the data of the simulated universe."
When Silver Wolf saw Sora also started blowing bubbles, he felt more relaxed, and the last bit of worry about being in the "enemy camp" was dispelled.
The fact that Kong was willing to eat her bubble gum expressed goodwill and the possibility of cooperation. In Silver Wolf's heart, the "Kong" who was now blowing bubbles was completely identical to the "Qiong" in the past, and was her best friend.
But before the little girl could relax for a few seconds, a bolt of lightning from the sky struck her, leaving her burnt on the outside and tender on the inside:
"But I just blew up the memory of the simulated universe... The Black Tower is undergoing emergency repairs, and it will take about six days to repair it."
"Ah?? The memory is blown up?"
Silver Wolf almost jumped up and grabbed Kong's collar and shook him fiercely: "How could it be possible to play with bombs? The amount of information that the miniature universe can contain is rare in the world-"
"The Primarch of Fury read my memory, and then burned it..."
"You are the one who destroys me!!"
Silver Wolf was a little mad: "What should I do! If the Ether Cassette is damaged, then I will never get the real thing. Even if it is repaired, it will only be a defective repaired version!"
"It's not okay if the effect is the same as the original one..."
Sora was speechless.
"I thought you understood! The collection value of limited editions and exclusive editions is incomparable! What's more, it's an Ether cassette!" Silver Wolf wailed again.
If Kafka was present, she would probably be surprised by Silver Wolf's dramatic emotional fluctuations, but Sora just thought that Silver Wolf was deliberately emphasizing the irreplaceable nature of the cassette.
"I understand, I understand, but in this case, we have to ask the Black Tower anyway."
Sora had to push Silver Wolf away slightly to prevent her from hitting him: "If the cassette and the memory are rotten together... I'll make it clear - I can only give you a repaired or copied version, and you are not allowed to complain."
"Well, that's all I can do."
Silver Wolf stared at Sora with resentment.
"Also, I don't want your clone technology. I need you to help me find out how to become a destiny walker stably."
"Destiny Walker?"
The little girl was startled, then she rubbed her chin:
"You are already the messenger of the three gods, plus a star core... and you want to draw power from other destinies? Aren't you afraid of being blown up?"
She circled in the air again, and then pursed her lips and spoke in a female ghost tone: "The power of the Lingshi is almost invisible in you. In my impression, the weakest Lingshi can move mountains and fill the sea~"
"I want to prepare this path for the people around me." Kong Ming said: "You can understand it as me consuming the energy of the Order to do other things, otherwise the work cannot be carried out."
"Hehe, I see. You prepared it for your girlfriend, right?"
This guy instantly turned into bad friend mode, looking at Sora with a sidelong glance:
"I can barely be considered a Void Fate Walker now... But as for how to stably obtain Fate Power, I don't know. One day, I suddenly became stronger while playing... But I always stick to the game for the game and not for anything else... Can you let your girls try to do the same thing as me in exchange for some Void's attention?"
Silver Wolf was so confident: "Maybe I will be too empty in the future, and Huanyue will bless me to 'change my job' just for fun? I can't say for sure."
"...So you play games just to kill time..." Kong slapped his forehead when he heard that, as if he had been defeated by the Silver Wolf.
"Bo, I just don't want you to say that."
Silver Wolf punched Sora lightly in the chest, and the moisture from the bursting bubble blew all over Sora's face:
"Otherwise, am I holding a grudge like you, looking forward to my turn to beat Aha up every day? Aren't you tired?"
She jumped back onto the table, as if she no longer cared whether the Ether Cassette was genuine or not. She was successfully diverted by Sora: "It's a pity that you don't believe in the hunting patrol. Qiong, you should have understood a long time ago that powerful people are not powerful because they are favored by the Star Gods and Destiny, but because they are born powerful. If your girlfriends don't have the ability themselves, the result of forcing strength will probably not be very good."
"I don't intend to discuss philosophy with you. Anyway, you can help me find this method, whether it's coordination, hunting, balance, preservation... I mean, you don't have to take the risk of implanting a star core like I did."
After a lot of consideration, Kong decided to give the Star Core Hunters a "chance"... Although they are very dangerous, whether he dares to use their connections and the shortcuts they provide depends on whether he is in a hurry at the time.
"...Let me ask Elio for you. If he can't do it, then I can't help you." Silver Wolf waved his hand.
She thought Kong would take the opportunity to propose some more interesting conditions, for example - just now she deliberately swung her legs in front of Kong for a long time and showed him the hollow part of the fishnet shorts, but his gaze only paused for a moment and then moved away. It was really boring.
Although he was a rather shy guy, he didn't even look at her with any tinted glasses when they were negotiating the terms, which made her feel a little bored.
"Row."
"Then let's make it this way. If you are sure you can convince Black Tower, even though you will lose an opportunity to fight the club... Hey, you said before that you could get the 'copy' of the cartridge back. Has Black Tower's technology reached the level where he can copy the Ether cartridge?"
“That’s my technique.”
"?"
76. Miscellaneous fish~Miscellaneous fish~
Stunned by Kong's nonchalant boasting, Silver Wolf wanted to ask something but heard his cell phone vibrating under his coat.
"…Is she serious?"
After reading the private message, Kong immediately showed Silver Wolf the standard expression of "old man on the subway with cell phone" - he was helpless by Estelle's generosity.
"Why? Your girlfriend wants to have lunch with you?"
Having failed miserably in the Charisma test, Silver Wolf crossed his feet with a lack of interest, waiting for Sora to reply to his private message and make a few sarcastic remarks at the same time.
"It's even more exaggerated than that. The stationmaster invited all the private tailors in Black Tower to make a few sets of clothes for me."
"...It's only been a few days? You guys are already doing it?" Silver Wolf, who was also shocked, couldn't find the right words to complain.
"I think you could use a more polite and appropriate term to describe our relationship."
He gave Silver Wolf a blank look and said, "You know that being so outspoken will cause trouble? Ester and I haven't decided whether to be a couple yet."
"It's the same for you. If the target is you, my resistance might be a little weaker."
Upon hearing this, Silver Wolf actually changed his leg and lifted it up in front of Kong, and stretched out his leg ring, making it bounce back with a snap, showing Kong what a Q-bounce was and highlighting his arrogance.
"? I'm not kidding you. If you give me the chance, I can definitely do it."
As if he had never seen anyone so reckless, Sora tilted his head and said the most cruel words with the most harmless expression, and the expression was transferred to the face of Paimon who was watching - she even began to think about whether to complain to Eula.
Kong was serious. If Silver Wolf gave him a kill, he would take it with tears in his eyes and show her what a Kivotos Superman was - who are you to dare to provoke a guy who doesn't care about others.
The time traveler had captured at least fifty little ghosts, and they were all howling and begging for mercy.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the other party is of legal age, but Silver Wolf is very unfortunate. She has been corrupted by the chaotic online world and only looks short, which is fundamentally different from March 7.
Moreover, this guy knew very well how dangerous Sora was, yet he dared to challenge him—
"So my figure and appearance are not bad in your evaluation system?"
Silver Wolf became happy after hearing Kong's overly realistic threat.
"If you just say 'empty words, yes' right now, I will lick your broken leg right away, do you believe it?"
The golden retriever folded his arms and complained in a super social tone: "If you test me, then you are just being uncomfortable - I can't stand the test. Let me put it this way, you are in my hunting range. If you can't let it go, I will risk being beaten into a pig's head by Eula and Haiya to get a taste of what it feels like."
“…So disgusting.”
Having said that, Silver Wolf still remains eager to try.
"If you feel sick, don't think about these nonsense. Just tell me whether you want to leave here horizontally or vertically and that's it."
"… Let's make an appointment later. The mirror is just turned away."
……
In the end, Silver Wolf backed out and found an excuse to relent.
Although she was very curious about how Kong "practiced" with the girls from other worlds he summoned, and she also wanted to interact with this "old friend" in the appearance of a beautiful boy, she still felt a little scared by the other party's aura of bursting clothes at the slightest disagreement.
"Kong, were you really planning to use the Silver Wolf as a drink?"
"It would definitely be inappropriate to develop to that point, so I scared her."
Like a lecturer who specializes in this field, Sora imparted terrible knowledge to Paimon with a righteous look on his face: "To deal with a little girl who likes to jump into someone's face, you must act like you can eat her up easily and without any moral entanglement, otherwise she will only go further."
"You didn't answer whether I would eat her or not—"
"Eat it, why not? I'll tell Eula and Haiya everything that happened, and that's it. Silver Wolf asked for it. They don't like people who come to their doorstep to be punished, so the most they can do is punish me by making me accompany them a few more times."
"As expected of you."
Paimon almost applauded Sora, "What about Estelle?"
"It depends on how far she plans to go. If it's just a nominal relationship, I'm happy with the ambiguous relationship like March's. If she wants to take it a step further, it depends on how much support she can provide."
"You are too discerning!"
"I don't think you have the right to blame me! We are the same in this regard, right?" Using a tone similar to Silver Wolf, Sora fiercely grabbed Paimon's cheeks and pulled them to the sides -
The two of them argued as they walked toward the office they shared with Esta, which was rarely used.
Most of the staff members on the road had blue psychic halos in their eyes - when they saw Kong, their expressions of respect were even stronger than in the previous few days. Even when Holhaiya performed a late-night drama for everyone, he was unable to correct this spontaneous respect.
It's all because of those hundreds of free tubes of Navigator's Mixture.
Although Kong's reputation is still slightly lower than Black Tower's, he is already regarded as the "deputy stationmaster" of the space station by the staff.
The rumors did not stop at the relationship between Sora and the female train attendant. It seemed that for some reason, Ester wanted to embellish the progress between herself and Sora in advance and let the rumors ferment.
After arguing enough with the little guy, Kong opened his phone again and glanced subtly at the "Black Tower Ladies Solo Push Association" that might have been pulled into by Esta's secondary account.
