I'm on Star Iron, and I've loaded the Commander Simulator.

She originally thought she could reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

However, the person who becomes calmer the more anxious they are is the one who is most anxious.

She gritted her teeth and adjusted her emotions to the state she wanted.

"Hey, hey, can you hear me? What do I have to give up to gain my freedom?"

She called out to Lu Xian with a hint of anxiety.

"Freedom? Judging from your tone, if you couldn't gain freedom, you'd probably kill yourself. But I've obtained your underlying data and can reconstruct a version of you that just entered this space at any time."

"The reconstructed me is not me anymore, and are you really unwilling to let me out?"

Didn't we say, didn't we agree, that we'd see how things went, depending on our mood and the timing?"

Electronic Black Tower's voice trembled with a hint of tears. But in reality, she had regained her composure and was once again attempting to outmaneuver Lu Xian.

Although she knew the consequences of the game might not be good, she felt that she had nothing left to lose.

At most, it only provides Lu Xian with some emotional value.

“I said I would release you, and I will. As for the time, it might be a few days for you, or a week or two for you,” Lu Xian said to the Black Tower while looking at the various high-tech instruments on display.

Ok?

When Electronic Black Tower heard this, it was suddenly startled. The other party had never lied before, so it seemed that she had missed some very important information recently. What was it again?

The electronic black tower suddenly felt that its memory was not quite right.

"Come and help me conquer your true form. If you succeed, you can go wherever you want." Lu Xian stopped again in front of a black tower puppet and spoke to the electronic black tower.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the electronic black tower suddenly exclaimed "Ah!" as if remembering something it had forgotten.

Judging from the clocks she could see, it must be today. He had once told her that he thought he might have fallen for her.

Considering his habit of never lying, and taking this sentence into account...

It seems that the other person has really fallen for her.

"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha~, no, no, you can't laugh. Since you like me, just let me out. Anyway, she and I are the same person. Everything you want, I have too."

Suddenly, the electronic black tower felt she had gained an absolute advantage. She sat down on the ground and laughed heartily for a while before speaking to Lu Xian.

"No, you can only have a puppet body at most."

Lu Xian retorted without hesitation.

"Are you just lusting after my perfect body? How vulgar. Fine, I'll help you win her over."

After understanding Lu Xian's words, the electronic black tower began to feign politeness towards him.

“I can tell that your words aren’t sincere. After all, we’ve had so much interaction.”

Is there anything that allows for dishonesty?

"You don't actually know how to win yourself over."

Lu Xian discerned the confusion in the other person's words and suddenly drew a very bold conclusion.

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing this, the electronic black tower seemed to freeze.

"Hey, why are you staring at this doll? Do you really want one?"

Perhaps it was because he had spent too much time communicating with the electronic black tower that Qingque developed a subtle misunderstanding.

"I don't want it. Let's go and look at other things."

Lu Xian glanced at the motionless puppet in front of him, shook his head, and then slowly walked forward.

"No, how could I not know how to win over myself? You just need to do what I like, such as food, clothes, inventions, creations, and the like, and that will be enough to attract my attention. Then, with your unparalleled teasing skills, you can easily win my heart."

After Lu Xian and Qing Que strolled around for a while, the Electronic Black Tower tried to refute Lu Xian.

"So, have you fallen for it yet?"

"How could I possibly fall for it?"

"Then how can you be so arbitrary as to say that the other you will fall for it?"

"That's because you're toying with me. You just need to be sincere..."

"But I'm a fool, I'm not good at lying. I've always been sincere with you, so the methods you suggested don't really work for me."

"Then you can't win me over. And don't let me out. I'll just keep laughing at you in your ear, laughing at you for being such a fool to fall for me because of a vulgar body."

"The approach is fundamentally wrong. Ask yourself, if I tried to win you over in your own way, would you fall for me?"

Compared to men who would only hinder your research, scientific pursuits are much more appealing to you.

"Indeed, I'm unlikely to fall into a worldly romance." After a long silence, the electronic black tower finally said this.

If it were a scientific research opportunity, she would definitely choose scientific research over a man who is extremely interesting and surpasses her in every way.

But is this really the case?

The electronic black tower pressed its hand to its chest, wanting to listen carefully to its sound.

"No, no, I might... but do I even know what 'like' means?"

After an unknown amount of time, as Lu Xian and Qing Que were enjoying the delicacies of Azure Star in the canteen of the Black Tower Space Station, the Electronic Black Tower murmured softly.

What does it mean to like someone?

What are the series of reactions that occur in the human body when physiological hormones are combined with electrical signals?

This is Electronic Black Tower's definition of the word "like".

And what am I right now? An electronic life form, imprisoned in an electronic cage. Without a physical body or hormones, I naturally wouldn't have feelings of liking.

Moreover, because of my lifelong research career, my body has probably already eliminated these completely unnecessary things that would affect my research.

Even if I feel a stirring of emotion right now, it's just an illusion created by electronic signals.

The electronic black tower touched its chest, feeling its slowly beating heart, and felt that it had gained some understanding.

What if electronic beings could feel this kind of affection?

This idea suddenly popped into the mind of the electronic black tower.

The universe is so wondrous that anything is possible, after all, there are incredibly mysterious celestial beings roaming this world.

Then there's absolutely no way I could like him.

If it can make me happy, let electrical signals simulate the feeling of happiness for me.

Then I must have witnessed Lu Xian feeling angry, helpless, and even bitter.

That scene must be absolutely beautiful.

Hahaha~, it completely outweighs the sorrow of not being able to escape this electronic prison.

So, to make me happy, I have to do this. Anyway, this guy said he'd let me out, hahaha~

Feeling that he had gained a much clearer understanding, the electronic black tower decided to act recklessly.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Lu Xian, I just did some research and found that I can't like anyone at all. The saying 'a wise man doesn't fall in love' perfectly describes me, and besides, I'm the smartest person in the world."

"Then Mr. Lu Xian will only ever experience unrequited love for the rest of his life. How pitiful."

Lu Xian, who was enjoying the sweet and sour fish that he hadn't tasted in a long time, suddenly heard the voice of the electronic black tower, which had been silent for about an hour or two.

Her voice was full of sarcasm and irony.

Especially since what she said seemed to be true, Lu Xian felt his blood pressure rise for a moment.

"Nothing is absolute, and besides, you and I are immortal beings; time will change everything."

After taking a sip of Tom Yum soup, Lu Xian slowly replied to the electronic black tower.

"Hahaha, you're lying to yourself. I am Black Tower. Do you think I don't know what I am? Quack quack quack."

You'll drown in this ocean of fantasy.

Oh, occasionally, I'll go along with you.

My dearest Lu Xian~.

The electronic black tower spoke again in a sarcastic tone.

She felt so happy while speaking, more happy than she had ever felt in her life.

The happiness simulated by electronic signals is filling her body.

She wanted to fill her up, especially after seeing Lu Xian fall silent because of it, she was even happier.

That's really difficult. After all, he's the smartest guy in the world. What should I do?

Lu Xian felt somewhat troubled.

The moment the distressed expression appeared, the electronic black tower felt its happiness was about to overflow.

She's so twisted.
