I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 116 Naxi Da, the two of us are all-powerful in Sumeru.

I pushed open the door, and the living room lights were still on.

Farusan sat cross-legged on the sofa, reading the literary works that Chen Bo had drawn in a lottery, and was also making marks on them with a red pen in her hand.

Reading literary works is for the purpose of translation.

During this period, Farusan had become Chen Bo's exclusive translator, specializing in translating the selected novels.

Fortunately, Farusan herself enjoys reading literature, and these books are indeed quite good.

She also enjoys reading.

In the corner of the living room, "Moon One" was sitting on a small stool.

Hearing the door open, Farusan immediately got up from the sofa: "You're back? I prepared hot water for you. Remember to take a shower before you go to sleep."

Chen Bo usually comes home very late every night, so today is unusually early.

After all, Chen Bo had to go outside to fight the ruins guards, make capture mechs, prepare alchemy arrays, make alchemy parts, and assemble the divine armor with Nasita.

The entire divine armor was first 3D printed, then refined by combining various precious materials into a metallic alloy, and then assembled.

Yes, a month has passed, and although the Academy has only completed the technical data entry, it has not yet started manufacturing.

However, Chen Bo has already completely built it.

Without Chen Bo's help, it would have taken the Academy a year just to complete the technical data entry step.

Mora, who earned money from selling the capture mechs, spent most of it on purchasing a large amount of materials from Dolly.

After a busy month, I only have less than ten million Mora left as pocket money.

More than 90% of Mora returned to Dolly's hands.

Dolly made a fortune during this time.

When Farusan looked up, she immediately realized something was wrong.

She glanced at "Moon One" sitting in the corner, then at a new little girl behind Chen Bo who looked just like Moon One.

two.

If you ignore the decorations, they look exactly the same. Farusan crossed her arms and glanced back and forth between the two "lolis".

"Anil————"

"Explain this? The one in the corner wasn't broken yet, so why did you bring back another one?"

She walked up to Nasita, bent down, and carefully observed the details.

Nasita didn't dodge; she simply stared at this "senior" with her pure, large eyes.

Farusan reached out and pinched Nasita's cheek.

She straightened up, her gaze sharpening, even taking on a scrutinizing, almost perverse quality: "Anil, I'm starting to seriously question your XP system. One wasn't enough, you had to make two?"

"And they're all so—so cute. You wouldn't happen to be a hidden lolicon, would you?"

For some reason, Farusan inexplicably felt hostility towards the puppet following Chen Bo, even though she knew it was just a mechanical puppet.

Especially now that there's one more doll, Farusan doesn't know why, but she just feels very angry.

"Senior, you've got the wrong idea." He pulled Narcida in front of him with an air of self-righteousness. "This is Luna 2. As you can see, it's a product of technological advancement. It uses more advanced bio-alchemy technology to simulate real physiological responses, so it looks more lifelike."

Chen Bo spoke nonsense with a straight face, "In order for the alchemical dolls to better integrate into human society, an approachable appearance is the first step. Look, who could resist such a cute little guy? This is called the 'cuteness tactic.'"

Nasita cooperated and gave Farusan a sweet smile: "Hello, senior, I am Luna 2."

Even Farusan had to admit that these adorable human babies were incredibly dangerous.

After taking a nice hot shower, Chen Bo led Naxida into his room.

Normally, Luna 1 would rest in Chen Bo's room.

The two often discussed technical matters together.

Luna 1 also contributed a lot to the creation of the Divine Armor, providing a great deal of design experience and assistance.

It can be said that Chen Bo spent the most time with Luna 1; they were truly inseparable, spending every day together.

However, he spends most of his time on academic work, not on dating or anything like that.

Since there were already two Naxidas in the room, the space seemed a bit cramped. Chen Bo rested his chin on his hand and said, "Naxida, by the way, shouldn't you be staying at the Jingshan Palace?"

Naxida stopped swinging her legs.

-

She lowered her head, looked at her toes, and remained silent for a while.

"It's too big and too deserted there."

Her voice was very soft, as if afraid of disturbing something, "Besides, there are only memories there, no future. Now, the sages of the Faculty are all your holographic projections. No one reports to me, and no one consults me when making decisions. It's the same wherever I am."

She raised her head, her eyes hardening: "And—I don't think I know how to be a proper god yet."

"Having learned so much in the void, I still don't understand."

"By staying by your side, watching you handle things, and seeing how you interact with Kavi and Farusan, I can learn so much. For example—how to bargain with people—"

You even brought up how you bargain with people.

Chen Bo chuckled and casually sat down on the edge of the bed: "I remember, inside Moon One, you were your own data entity."

"Normally, Moon One is remotely controlled from the void, but after leaving Sumeru, it is controlled by a consciousness data entity. It's not a split of one's own consciousness, right?"

Nasita nodded: "Yes, I have never split my consciousness. The data consciousness does not have the power of the Grass God. Or rather, the data consciousness is only a part of my consciousness, not the complete me."

"However, with the network support of the long-range remote sensing module, I can access Luna 1 remotely at any time to bring the consciousness data body to my level."

Chen Bo understood; it was the relationship between the Big Black Tower and the Little Black Tower.

The smaller black tower also has intelligence, but it's not as good as the larger black tower.

The large black tower can connect to and control the small black tower at any time.

Simply put, Sumeru's true form is the Great Nasita, while the other alchemical dolls are the Small Nasitas.

Chen Bo rested his chin on his hand: "So, we can now build Moon Three and Moon Four, and even Moon Five, Six, and Seven—"

"Data-conscious individuals go abroad to study."

"Some went to Liyue to apply for positions as secretaries for Ganyu or Keqing, to learn from the Liyue Seven Stars, and more importantly, to learn from the Geo Archon. Every year, the Geo Archon of Liyue sends down divine pronouncements to guide Liyue's development for the coming year."

"Some of them will go to Mondstadt and join the Knights of Favonius. Even becoming librarians would be a good option."

"One of you will come with me to Inazuma, and we'll go to Umijima Island."

"The main body will remain here to oversee the overall situation and summarize experiences."

"Once you've thoroughly understood the governance models of these countries, taking the best and discarding the worst, and then govern Mount Sumeru, wouldn't you take off immediately?"

Naxi Da listened, completely stunned.

Was I just put in this situation?

However, it is indeed a pretty good method.

Nasida nodded: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

"Then it's settled." Chen Bo made the decision: "Let's go, let's get it done tonight. I'll upgrade your body to the latest version and make Moon 2, 3, 4... 7 all at once."

The two opened the window and secretly climbed out, without letting Farusan know.

If she finds out, I'll get nagged again.

Working day and night was just a normal part of their lives.

Gods don't need to sleep; Chen Bo only stays up late occasionally.

Walking along the streets of Sumeru, Nasita suddenly asked, "By the way, what did you mean when you said in the meeting room that I don't eat beef? I searched the entire void, and all I found were explanations about dietary habits, saying that beef contains protein or something—aside from that, there were just tons of recipes."

"But I don't think that's what you meant at the time."

Chen Bo was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"This story originates from a work that is not well-known in the world."

"The story takes place in an era of social disorder. There is a warlord's son named Cao Shaolin, who is a complete madman who enjoys killing. One day, he went to a noodle shop to eat noodles, but encountered a man who cursed him, saying that the noodle shop owner did not know that he was Cao Shaolin, which means that the man was being cursed to his face."

"By the way, a warlord is someone who controls a large number of soldiers and can easily decide the life or death of others."

As Chen Bo gestured, he vividly described the scene.

While listening to the lecture, Nasita would also respond: "According to you, this Cao Shaolin takes pleasure in killing. Then, the noodle shop owner will probably be killed soon."

Chen Bo nodded: "That's right, Cao Shaolin had murderous intent, but at that moment he happened to run into the noodle shop owner's cousin. The cousin recognized Cao Shaolin, so Cao Shaolin wanted to play with people's hearts. So he told the owner not to put scallions in the beef noodles."

"After the owner went to make the noodles, Cao Shaolin turned around and made a bet with the noodle shop owner's cousin, saying that there must be scallions in the noodles. The bet was simple: if he lost, he could leave; if he won, he could kill everyone in the shop."

Nasita tilted her head, her emerald eyes sparkling with thought: "I think I understand what it means that I don't eat beef."

"There were no scallions in the noodles, but Cao Shaolin still killed everyone in the shop, his reason being: 'I don't eat beef?'"

Chen Bo clapped earnestly: "That's right, Nasita, you're so smart, that's how the plot will develop from here on out."

"This is the arrogance of power, or rather, the devastating impact of violence on rules. In the face of absolute power disparity, so-called rules, reason, winning or losing, and even the truth are meaningless."

"Whether there are scallions in the noodles or not is irrelevant if that warlord wants to kill someone, and whether the owner made it according to the instructions is also irrelevant. Even if the owner serves up a bowl of mora, as long as that warlord has overwhelming power and influence, he can say, 'I hate mora,' and then kill someone."

"My power is enough to control the entire Council of the Sages. In fact, I can do whatever I want to those five sages without any constraints. That is why I don't eat beef."

Naxi Da lowered her head thoughtfully.

"I see."

She spoke softly, her tone less confused and more clear-headed.

"Hazar and the sages of the Council of the Church were once warlords. They controlled the discourse of Sumeru, so they could arbitrarily define what wisdom is, what constitutes a qualified god. No matter how well I do, if they simply say 'I don't eat beef,' I will be imprisoned, imprisoned forever."

"Nassida, that's how it is." Chen Bo nodded in agreement: "This is what they call, right or wrong doesn't matter. The final interpretation belongs to the strong."

"However, right now, we are the strongest among the Sumeru. The two of us can control everything. I believe that in the near future, the two of us will control everything in Teyvat."

Nasita looked up at the flamboyant yet surprisingly reassuring man beside her.

Previously, when she was in Jingshan Palace, she observed humans through the void and always felt that human power struggles were complex and difficult to understand.

But Chen Bo stripped away the hypocritical moral veneer and laid bare these most brutal survival rules before her.

"Although it sounds domineering—" Nasita blinked, a slight smile playing on her lips, "if it were used on Hazard, I think—this story would be quite satisfying."

"He really made me angry before."

"Right now, I'm very happy." Nasita grabbed Chen Bo's hand and squeezed it a little tighter.

"Right? Locking them up in the snow-capped mountains, that's called giving them a taste of their own medicine." Chen Bo laughed, casually ruffling Naxida's soft white hair with his other hand: "But we're much more civilized than that Cao Shaolin."

"At least, we'll provide food and lodging. We'll just have the five sages do the work of ordinary researchers. It's just that the snow mountain is a bit cold, but it's not a big problem."

After walking for a while on the streets of Sumeru City, they entered a deserted street just as Chen Bo was preparing to take off.

Suddenly, I looked down at the hand I was holding.

The owner of the small hand sensed the gaze and gently scratched his palm with his finger.

Chen Bo turned around and, by the moonlight, examined the girl behind him.

A white and green dress, with the iconic leaf cape hanging behind her.

What I pulled out was not Luna 1, but Nasita's true form.

Luna 1 can fly, but can Naxida?

So it seems we can't fly directly into the rainforest anymore.

Chen Bo scratched his head, breaking the silence between the two.

"Narcissus, can you fly? We need to go to a secret base deep in the rainforest for work. If we walk, we won't get there until dawn."

Naxi Da thought about this question carefully.

"I can manipulate grass elemental power to make my body float. However, my flight speed isn't very fast, and I'm afraid I can't catch up with you."

Chen Bo estimated that it would take several hours to make six dolls, and he needed to get to Inazuma before dawn, so walking slowly was definitely not an option.

"Then I'll take you there. This body I'm in now is a clone; it can transform."

The properties of the Flame of No Form granted him the ability to change form. Crimson flames rose from beneath his feet, enveloping his entire body. Metal parts reformed within the flames.

The original human form dispersed, transforming into one component after another. Gears meshed together, and soon a small, futuristic drone appeared before Nasita, its streamlined body reflecting the cool moonlight.

The side hatch slides outward, revealing a single seat that pops out from inside.

Chen Bo's voice came from the speaker.

"Come on up. This is the Grass God's personal vehicle, the only one of its kind in all of Teyvat, there are no other branches."

Having a shapeshifting body is really convenient.

As long as Chen Bo possesses the knowledge, his body can transform into that form.

Simply put, Chen Bo knows the workings of every part of a drone and can replicate it using his clone.

The boundary of knowledge is the boundary of transformation.

Nasita floated up gently and sat down in the chair.

As soon as she sat down, two arms stretched out from both sides of the seat, embracing her and securing her in place.

"The latest hug-style seatbelt is safe and reliable."
