Their commission was suspicious.

"It was that battle that made Elio take a liking to you. There was actually someone in the universe who could crack Sorggum's program. First Sorggum, then the Black Tower. I doubt anyone in the universe has provoked two geniuses in such a short period of time. It was fate."

"Alas, it seems I am the slave of fate." Silver Wolf sighed again, sounding listless.

After passing through the corridor and entering another door, Kafka was still waiting for the antimatter legion behind her.

But after Kafka dealt with these antimatter legions, one of them circled around to launch a surprise attack on Kafka.

But just as the Void Race of the antimatter legion was about to attack Kafka, its body suddenly digitized, and it vanished instantly.

“It’s not my job to clean up other people’s messes. You agree, right, Kaffa?” A girl who looked nine-tenths like Bronya sat down at the table, with a virtual screen in front of her.

"Alright, alright, where did you put him? Silver Wolf."

"The coordinates I just randomly picked are random. Are you really that concerned about where that pawn went?"

"I don't care, but no matter how many times I see it, I'll still think about your methods. They're really unbelievable."

"It's just modifying real-world data, a trivial trick." Silver Wolf waved his hand dismissively.

After Kafka and Silver Wolf successfully reunited, the two prepared to begin their mission: to travel to the location of the Star Core and steal it.

While Kafka and Silver Wolf were loudly plotting, they didn't notice that a pair of eyes were watching them from behind.

When the two arrived at the monitoring room, they began searching for the Star Core's hiding place. The Star Core was the reason the Black Tower built the space station, so its location was very well hidden.

To conceal the star core, the Black Tower used another wondrous object to cover it up.

The Star Core Hunters are indeed quite skilled, especially Silver Wolf, who accompanied Kafka on this mission; he's a genius player who treats reality like a game.

So without experiencing any hardship, they arrived at the room where the star core was stored through a special passage.

"It has an independent protection system; it seems the Star Core is no ordinary artifact for the Black Tower," Silver Wolf said, facing the Star Core.

"Can we get it out?"

"Of course, in the hacker realm, even the genius Black Tower is no match for me," Silver Wolf said with considerable confidence.

"Okay, I'll leave the preparation of the carrier to you as well."

After Kafka finished speaking, she walked towards the unsealed star core and took it in her hand.

The process was surprisingly simple.

Meanwhile, Silver Wolf switched to a virtual screen, casually tapped a few buttons, and shared a small portion of the screen with Kafka.

"The carrier is ready. You decide," Silver Wolf said.

“Elio said this choice will change a lot of things.” Kafka held the Star Core and looked at the screen in front of her.

“Elio also said that the person who makes this choice must be you,” Silver Wolf retorted.

After hearing Silver Wolf's words, Kafka stared blankly at the screen in front of her, seemingly unsure of what to choose.

"What are you standing there for? Can't bear to part with it?" After waiting for half a minute, seeing that Kafka still hadn't made a choice, Silver Wolf asked.

“Yes, we’ve always been the ones taking star cores from others; this is the first time we’ve given them away.” Kafka’s tone was quite complicated.

Then an eerie silence fell over the room.

"Taking so long to think it over? Didn't you think it through before you left?" After waiting another minute, seeing that Kafka still hadn't made a choice, Silver Wolf became a little anxious.

"Don't rush me, Silver Wolf, this is a very important decision."

The eerie silence continued.

"Are you going to choose or not? If you don't choose, I'll choose for you!" A very impatient male voice rang out in the empty room.

"!!!"

Kafka and Silver Wolf were startled for a moment, then quickly looked around.

After the two confirmed that there was no one else in the room, they turned around and found that the original star core had also disappeared.

"Give."

Chen Luo returned the star core, which had already been copied by the Void Treasury, to Kafka.

"This star core has been activated. In the short time you've been thinking, it has already split half of the Black Tower Space Station. If you don't make a choice soon, this Black Tower Space Station will be doomed."

The semi-rifted nature is why half of the Black Tower space station can't kill all the monsters even if it's constantly being attacked.

Because wherever there is a Rift, there will be the Antimatter Legion, a group of people who destroy everything, as well as Rift Monsters.

Once a stellar core appears and becomes active, it will create a spatial divide around it.

"Who are you?" Kafka gracefully took a step back, stood next to the silver wolf, and asked Chen Luo.

"Me? I'm the cybersecurity consultant for the Black Tower Space Station. I just noticed someone had hacked into the Black Tower Space Station's network, so I came to check it out," Chen Luo said.

"Cybersecurity consultant? Never heard of you, and you're not on Black Tower's employee list. Besides, I've been here for two hours, and you, the consultant, are only just showing up?" Silver Wolf was somewhat skeptical.

"That's because I was appointed in a time of crisis after the pulse from the explosion paralyzed most of the main control system. Station Master Está personally appointed me and hired me at a high price of 1000 credits per minute."

What Chen Luo said was true; Chen Luo received 1000 credits every minute.

However, due to the principle of "don't underestimate a young person's potential," these credits were all stored with Estelle, allowing her to use them to buy things or directly exchange them for high-tech equipment that the Black Tower Space Station could produce.

"1000 credits per minute? Why don't you just rob someone?" Silver Wolf scoffed.

However, Silver Wolf also knew that the price was not high, at least not in such a life-or-death situation.

This kid was able to detect my traces; he's definitely not just a simple cybersecurity consultant. Black Tower Space Station got their money's worth!

"What are you talking about? Robbery can't make money as fast as me!" Chen Luo said, crossing his arms.

"Alright, time's up, goodbye." Silver Wolf stopped what he was doing and pressed the final button.

Chen Luo's body was suddenly and slowly transformed into data.

Kafka was actually buying time for Silver Wolf.

"Don't worry, you won't die. You'll be out in an hour," Silver Wolf said.

"Remember to make a decision quickly, or you'll ruin the entire Black Tower Space Station." Before disappearing, Chen Luo said with utmost professionalism.

After Chen Luo finished speaking, he was turned into data graffiti by Silver Wolf and imprinted on the spot where Chen Luo had originally stood.

Chapter 1475 Silver Wolf? Chen Luo is having a lot of fun!

"How exactly did this person follow us to this storage room? Or rather, when did they start following us?" Kafka wondered.

"Alright, stop wondering and make your choice. The fact that someone is willing to come means that Black Tower Space Station isn't all incompetent. This cybersecurity advisor from Black Tower Space Station is quite capable."

"But since he wasn't in the script Elio gave us, that means..."

“That means it’s irrelevant.” Kafka continued Silver Wolf’s words, and then, facing the choice between a man and a woman on the screen, she ultimately chose the woman.

After selecting the gender of the carrier and long-pressing to input her fingerprint, Kafka tossed the data-formed cube to Silver Wolf, who then pressed it into the screen in front of him.

Immediately next to Silver Wolf, a fully dressed woman was created from a pile of data.

"How much does she remember?" Kafka asked the silver wolf as she leaned closer to the created girl.

“At least I’ll remember you,” Silver Wolf replied.

After receiving the answer, Kafka put one arm around the girl's back and slowly pressed the star core into her chest with the other.

"Time to get up!"

……

After the girl woke up, it was time for the riddle-solving session.

That Kafka kept telling riddles, she never stopped!

What was this script about Eriol? What was this about me leaving you here alone? It was all a jumble of nonsense, leaving Xing, the girl who had just woken up and had just had her star core implanted, completely bewildered.

"How much longer? According to the script, the people from the planetary train are almost here. We shouldn't be facing them," Silver Wolf urged from the side.

“I know Silver Wolf, just a little while, just a little while.” Kafka said, then continued to look at the stars.

"Time is almost up, I have to go. Listen to me: someone will find you soon, so don't worry, go with them. You don't remember anything except me."

Kafka possesses a certain degree of manipulative power, and what follows the colon is Kafka's verbal seduction.

"Kaf...Kaf"

"When you have the opportunity to make a choice, don't let yourself regret it." After saying this, Kafka and Silver Wolf turned and left, while Xing suddenly blacked out and fainted.

After an unknown amount of time... well, less than two minutes later, Xing overheard a conversation between an unfamiliar man and woman.

"This person's coordinates weren't sent from the space station..." the boy said.

"What's the point of arguing at a time like this? This living, breathing person is right in front of us; they can't be fake, can they?"

"The heartbeat and pulse are very weak. In March, prepare to perform artificial respiration."

"Ah, me? I don't have much experience. Danheng, you can do it?"

"Give me a head!" Suddenly, a palm-sized doll popped out from above the unconscious girl's head and flicked each of them on the forehead.

"Huh? Who are you?"

Looking at the tiny figure, no bigger than the palm of his hand, March 7th covered his head and asked.

"My name is Chen Luo, the temporary cybersecurity consultant for the Black Tower Space Station. Because the pulse from the explosion just now caused a large-scale paralysis of the main control system, I came to check what happened, and then... I encountered the damned Star Core Hunter!" the puppet said.

"Star Hunter? What happened?"

"Well, things are complicated. In any case, you should take this girl who just woke up with you for now. She's not a Star Hunter."

“Chen Luo… I think I heard Estella mention this name earlier. She said you were also a nameless guest?” March 7 paused for a moment before remembering.

"To be precise, they are travelers."

"Oh...the person is awake." March 7th exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you alright? Can you hear me? Do you remember your name?"

"I... I don't remember anything." The girl, who had just woken up, shook her head.

"That's troublesome. Can you try to remember? Your name is..."

"My name is Xing."

"Her name is Xing."

Two voices rang out almost simultaneously.

"Hmm?" Xing turned her head and saw a palm-sized doll on her shoulder.

"This girl doesn't remember anything because of Kaffa," Chen Luo explained.

"Who are you?" Xing asked, looking at Chen Luo sitting on her shoulders.

"My name is Chen Luo. The man in front of you is called Unhappy, and the woman is called Brainless."

"Hey, who are you calling brainless? But the nickname 'Unhappy' is really apt." March 7th got angry for a moment, then couldn't help but agree with Chen Luo's statement.

Danheng often had a stern face, looking like he was unhappy.

"..." To be honest, Dan Heng felt that Chen Luo was right. March 7th was indeed clueless and only knew how to laugh foolishly.

"Hello, Brainless and Grumpy."

“My name is March 7th, and his name is Danheng. Don’t listen to the nonsense from that puppet next to you.” March 7th put his hands on his hips.

“But this doll gives me a very warm feeling. I always feel like he wouldn’t lie.” Xing tilted her head.

“That’s right, I also find Xing very approachable; she has a pleasant scent.” Chen Luo nodded in agreement.

This smell often whets Chen Luoqi's appetite.

The Herrscher of Erosion and the Star Core can be considered distant relatives.

However, on a mystical level, distant relatives are meant to be devoured in order to increase one's own mystical concentration.

Xing doesn't have this ability, but Chen Luo does.

So, besides feeling a sense of familiarity, Chen Luo would occasionally feel a bit hungry when he smelled the star core.

"This space station has been attacked by the antimatter legion, and we are here to rescue it at the request of Station Master Estella." Dan Heng didn't want to dwell too much on the name, even though Chen Luo's description was quite vivid.

"What is the Antimatter Legion?" Xing knew nothing about it.

“They’re henchmen of Nanuk, the God of Destruction. You’re lucky; the most dangerous Lord of Annihilation isn’t nearby. They’re just a bunch of scattered thugs causing trouble everywhere. We’ll wipe out the invaders soon, so don’t worry,” March 7 said confidently.
