People are in Xingtie, and I am their dead white moonlight?

Chapter 64: Black Tower: Bad guy... so energetic so early in the morning...

"Is this the power of favorability... It's truly terrifying..."

Looking at the black tower in front of him, which showed a hint of anger, Jiang Mo sighed in his heart.

Although he was used to the little black tower showing various emotions that were unique to girls, but... it was the first time he saw the big black tower have such a girlish side.

"What the hell is this? My genius tsundere girlfriend? Some standard light novel theme..."

Jiang Mo complained in his heart while looking at the girl in pajamas in front of him.

As if she had noticed Jiang Mo's gaze, Heita supported her head with one hand, and her long brown hair fell slowly like a waterfall, forming a brown curtain.

"Hmm? Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think what I said is wrong?"

"No, you are right, dear Miss Heita, it is me who has not taken good care of my body~" Jiang Mo shook his head gently, then reached out and touched the corner of the girl's lips, and said softly:

"I just wanted to take a few more glances at the future 'Pure Beauty Envoy', just like when we first met."

Hearing Jiang Mo's undisguised praise, Heita's breathing stagnated slightly, and his fair cheeks became even redder, as if he was thinking of that golden afternoon.

Looking at the pair of black eyes in front of her that revealed tenderness and a little fatigue, the narcissistic words that Heita was about to say were immediately swallowed back. She felt...she couldn't say such words at this time.

"Since you want to see it so much..." Heita said as she turned over and rode on Jiang Mo like a female knight.

After observing Jiang Mo from above for a while, Heita gently placed his hand on Jiang Mo's chest, feeling the gradually accelerating heartbeat, and a dangerous arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then she slowly bent down until there was only less than three centimeters between her face and Jiang Mo's face.

At this distance, she could feel his slightly hot breath and see every hair on his face.

He could see every detail of this beautiful face that was slightly red because of him.

"Then you can see enough."

The scent of a young girl mixed with the fragrance of violets inexplicably penetrated Jiang Mo's nostrils, making his consciousness, which was chaotic due to excessive memory loading, become clear.

Looking at the face in front of him that was as tempting as a ripe apple, Jiang Mo subconsciously pursed his dry lips.

Heita, who was riding on Jiang Mo, naturally noticed his little action. She tilted her head slightly, and a naughty smile flashed across her beautiful crimson eyes.

Before Jiang Mo could say anything, Heita leaned down without hesitation and pecked Jiang Mo lightly on the lips.

"...?!"

Looking at the extremely proactive Black Tower in front of him and feeling the lingering scent of violets between his lips and teeth, Jiang Mo's eyes widened slightly, as if he was a little bit unbelievable.

Looking at Jiang Mo, who was being pressed under him with a look of surprise on his face, Heita couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and let out a satisfied hum.

"Just consider it as a reward for your praise~"

After saying this, Heita seemed to want to add something, but just when she was about to speak... her expression suddenly froze, and the redness on her face became more obvious.

——It was as if steam would burst out of his head in the next second.

She hurriedly rolled off Jiang Mo, stood on the ground and quickly fixed her hair while whispering:

"Okay, since you have nothing to do, get up and pack up early. You still have to confront those guys from the company later..."

After saying that, Heita ran out of Jiang Mo's room as if escaping, like a female knight who had been defeated and had thrown away her armor.

Jiang Mo blinked slightly as he looked at the fleeing figure, then looked down at himself and rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"I'm a normal adult male after all. Why didn't you think of this when you were riding on me and showing off?"

Jiang Mo curled his lips, then slowly stood up and began to change his clothes, ready to go see what kind of deal the company wanted to make with him.

As for Heita, he immediately closed the door after returning to his room. He leaned against the wooden door, feeling his heart beating violently due to shyness, and whispered softly:

"...Looking so energetic so early in the morning, what a bad guy..."

......

After a quick wash, Jiang Mo left the mansion with Heita, whose cheeks were still slightly red, and headed to the Interstellar Peace Company branch on the Azure Star.

If for no other reason, he just wanted to see...how much "sincerity" the company employee who was in charge of contacting him really had.

If the conditions are right and it won't make him and Black Tower too uncomfortable... there's nothing wrong with accepting the invitation from this behemoth.

After all, the projects that the Black Tower will tackle will be more resource-intensive than the last. If the Black Tower has not yet become the Intellectual Commander by then, it will be a bit difficult to find such a huge supply of resources.

Looking at the towering building in front of him, Jiang Mo's heart did not waver at all.

For her, who had been to Pier Point, there was nothing curious about such a building.

"Mr. Jiang Mo, Ms. Heita, welcome to our branch office. I'm the initiator of this 'investment negotiation'. I'm 'Zhenzhu' from the Strategic Investment Department, and my rank is P43."

Looking at the intelligent woman who appeared in front of him at some point, a hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Mo's eyes.

"Aside from their rank, all other characteristics match. I never expected to run into the future 'Stone Heart Ten' here. It's quite surprising..."

"Let's take it one step at a time and see if the company can offer an offer that's hard to refuse."

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo smiled and said to the intelligent woman in front of him:

"Hello, Ms. Zhenzhu. I didn't expect the company to send a P43 investor to negotiate with us... I'm truly flattered."

"You're too kind. There are many senior members of the department who are interested in investing in you two, but my proposal is more comprehensive, so... I won this opportunity to invest in you two."

Zhenzhu raised her hand as she spoke, "Please come this way, both of you. Next... I will demonstrate our company's sincerity to you, as we agreed before."

Hearing this, Jiang Mo and Heita subconsciously looked at each other, then nodded at the same time and walked towards the inside of the building.

……

……

Because I have used up all my drafts, and I am planning the final part of the Black Tower chapter today, so it is a little late. The next update will be around 8 o'clock in the evening. Leave me a little margin for error qwq

Chapter 65: Negotiations, Scroll from Krippo

Under Zhenzhu's guidance, Jiang Mo and Heita came to a heavy metal door.

"Behind this door lies the company's most basic sincerity for you two. It can also be considered a... gift."

Having said this, Zhenzhu paused for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Mo who was standing next to the black tower, and said with a chuckle:

"Since it's a gift, it's naturally up to the two recipients to open it themselves. I won't interfere as a messenger."

Hearing this, Jiang Mo took a deep look at the intelligent woman in front of him who was smiling politely, and then stretched out his hand towards the metal door in front of him.

Almost at the moment when Jiang Mo's fingers touched the metal door frame in front of him, the indicator light embedded just above the heavy door began to flash green.

The next moment, the extremely heavy metal door in front of them slid open to both sides, and the diamond-shaped light beads on the dome, like stars, gradually lit up, splashing cold white light into the space in front of them, allowing people to see the true appearance of this gift.

A circular laboratory with a diameter of more than 200 meters.

In the very center of the laboratory, twelve suspended operating tables were like silver spaceships pulled by invisible threads, slowly rotating along the circular edge of the laboratory.

Above each suspended operating console, a holographic interface of different colors flashes, covering almost all the academic fields that Jiang Mo and Heita are involved in.

Indigo gene sequence modeling, amber dark matter wave maps, silvery imaginary energy wave detection curves...

These holographic interfaces float slowly in the air, like a flowing galaxy of knowledge.

It can be said that if he and Heita were to carry out the derivation of the "Spark Universal Model" in this laboratory... it would probably not take three years, and one year would be more than enough.

"Not only that, Mr. Jiang Mo." Zhenzhu said as she took out a holographic terminal from somewhere.

As the metal finger slid across the screen, the entire system interface located in the center of the laboratory retracted simultaneously, and the silver-white floor tiles directly below instantly turned transparent, revealing the array server hidden under the laboratory.

Looking at the iridescent hexagonal crystals beneath her feet, Zhenzhu spoke softly:

"This array server was previously built by the Boshi Institute based on a separate machine from the 'Scepter System.' While its performance isn't as good as the 'Scepter,' it can still perform 78 million simulation operations per hour."

"It's at least twice as powerful as the server the Erudite Society assigned to you two—or more precisely, to Ms. Pertivia."

"By the way, this laboratory is a double-layered circular laboratory structure, which means..."

"Here, there are more experimental facilities."

Zhenzhu paused deliberately, then snapped her fingers lightly.

——Snap

Almost at the same time, the silver-white floor beneath the three people's feet suddenly became transparent, and the light bulbs above the dome also slightly lowered their brightness, allowing people to clearly see the furnishings in the laboratory below.

In addition to the quantum array server located in the center, the lower laboratory also has a circular particle collider and a robotic arm array that can etch nanoscale chips.

Looking at the well-equipped laboratory at his feet, Jiang Mo blinked slightly, then raised his head to look at the intelligent woman in front of him and said softly:

"A laboratory of this level...it's absolutely impossible to have been built in just a few days."

"You are right, Mr. Jiang Mo."

A polite smile appeared on Zhenzhu's face. "This laboratory was established two years ago."

"To be frank, the original purpose of this laboratory's existence was to win you over. If you agree to cooperate with us, then it will be yours."

"Of course, if you don't agree, it will become the seventh laboratory of the 'Technology R&D Department' after construction is completed, which can be considered effective utilization."

"As for why it's become a welcome gift... the reason is actually very simple. You and Miss Heita have demonstrated greater value."

"Our company's core value has always been that a good horse deserves a good saddle. The values ​​you two have demonstrated deserve a better laboratory."

As she spoke, she activated the information terminal in front of her, and a three-dimensional holographic building complex appeared in front of the two of them.

"Besides expanding the core laboratory and upgrading the server array, the company will prepare a three-kilometer particle collider and an observatory for observing imaginary energy tides for you two."

"Of course, there will also be a matching multi-functional robotic arm workgroup, so you don't have to worry about processing a few mechanical parts and chips."

"As for the location of the laboratory...it's on the Azure Star."

"The above is all the sincerity the Interstellar Peace Company can offer. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Jiang Mo subconsciously looked towards the black tower beside her. At this moment, she was staring at the particle collider, with a longing light flashing in her crimson eyes.

It is no exaggeration to say that he could even feel Heita's hands trembling slightly - this was the purest desire of a human scholar when facing the ultimate experimental facility.

"If we count the achievements of the Black Tower, the next research project should be the Sigma Baryon Conversion Experiment..."

"This kind of physics topic inevitably requires the use of a particle collider, and Ishmael's particle collider is hard to get scheduled for, so it would be best to have your own..."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Mo raised his head slightly and looked at the intelligent woman in front of him who was smiling and waiting for his answer. He asked softly:

"So, Ms. Zhenzhu, what is the price?"

Upon hearing this, Zhenzhu was slightly stunned, then chuckled in a very human way and shook her head.

"The word 'price' is a bit too heavy. It's just mutual benefit at best."

"The content of the agreement is very simple—the company will announce to the public that you and Ms. Heita will join the 'Technology R&D Department' as supervisor and technical director respectively."

"But this is just a title. We won't force company affairs on you two. The research content and direction in the lab will still be decided by you two, and the company will not interfere."

"However, what the company needs is the priority to choose and use the technology you two have developed in the application field, nothing more."

"Besides that... there might be a job that is very suitable for Mr. Jiang Mo to complete."

Zhenzhu paused meaningfully, then chuckled and said:

"You announced the concept of the 'Yongzhong Academy' at that academic conference, and the company intends to build it into a temple of knowledge that scholars most aspire to."

"As the originator of this concept and one of the brightest rising stars in academia, if you were to be the 'founder'... I'm afraid no one would object."

Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Mo's face froze instantly, replaced by a sneer.

"Use my name and Black Tower's reputation to recruit more fresh blood for you, and gradually build your own 'scholarship clique'. Am I understanding correctly, Miss Zhenzhu?"

"That's a really good plan... If the time comes, Black Tower and I will take the blame for everything you do, while you can get away with it. Do you think I'll agree to that?"

As if she had anticipated Jiang Mo's questioning, Zhenzhu smiled slightly, and then took out a scroll that exuded an ancient atmosphere from somewhere.

"You should be aware that the company's faith is in the Protector Star God, Creeper, and this contract scroll comes from a fragment of the Subspace Barrier, imbued with the imaginary energy of 'Preserving Destiny.'"

"In other words, this agreement was notarized by the 'Protective Star God.' You can rest assured that the company will never do anything that violates its beliefs."

"Faith..."

Jiang Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at the scroll in front of him that exuded a hint of ancient charm and hesitated for a moment.
