Their commission was suspicious.

Good grief, how do you, someone who just demonstrated breaking a contract with your bare hands in front of me, have the nerve to ask me to sign an imaginary contract with you?

"Don't you have a contract too? Show me your contract," Black Tower said irritably.

“Sigh, actually I think the contract of imaginary numbers is pretty good, at least it’s cheaper to break… I mean, at least it’s cheaper to build.” Chen Luo was still trying to persuade Black Tower.

"Use your contract!" Black Tower reiterated.

Black Tower didn't want to wait until they signed another contract so that Chen Luo could break the rules, but they themselves couldn't.

Not only will I not get the orange juice, but I'll also have to spend a lot of money on other things. How frustrating would that be?

"Tch." Chen Luo reluctantly pulled out the Book of Contracts.

After all, breaking the Book of Contracts requires spending a considerable amount of raw stones, while reneging on the contract of Imaginary Numbers only requires a word to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

At worst, we can give another wisp of the source energy.

Chapter 1486 Star: Chen Luo, what are you drinking? I'm asking you, what are you drinking?!

"This thing can actually turn people into dolls, that's incredible." Black Tower shook the orange juice in his hand, which still had 3/4 left, his eyes sparkling with wonder.

"You can do your research, but I strongly advise you not to use it on others, and especially not on yourself. Otherwise, don't blame me if something irreversible happens," Chen Luo said after the transaction was completed.

[Ding! Mission complete]

“I don’t need you to remind me… but do you really need to get this close to collect faith power?” Black Tower said through gritted teeth.

From Chen Luo's perspective, he could even see the well symbol on the black tower's forehead.

"But the closer you are, the higher the contact level, and the faster you can collect faith power," Chen Luo said innocently.

"...This rule sounds reasonable, but it's also very unreasonable." Himeko complained, looking at Chen Luo, whose hand hadn't left Black Tower's head since the transaction was completed.

The transaction went very smoothly. After the transaction was completed, Aista went to direct the station staff to handle the aftermath, leaving only Chen Luo, the Black Tower, and the Starry Sky Train crew behind.

Dear Uncle Yang was supposed to stay here too, but he went to touch the big robot instead.

Because the Black Tower space station had not deactivated its transformation, and Walter, who had a particular fondness for large robots, simply could not resist the temptation.

"To use an old saying from the Immortal Journey, this puppeteer's real intention is not what it seems." Black Tower snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.

Black Tower had to admit that the special contract Chen Luo had pulled out was indeed extremely binding; at least for now, Black Tower hadn't figured out how to exploit a loophole. Of course, this was also because there wasn't enough material for further research and comparison.

The contract in that Book of Contracts only stayed in the Black Tower's hands for a few seconds before it was signed and then vanished with the wind.

Black Tower was confident that as long as he was given that thing for a period of time, he would definitely be able to figure it out!

"As a side note to the deal, I can remind you of something: if you really intend to study the orange juice I gave you, you'd better be prepared for a long battle... although I have a feeling you'll probably give up halfway through when you realize you can't figure anything out."

Black Tower is that kind of person; once he loses interest in something, he often turns around and walks away.

"That's not necessarily true," Black Tower said, unconvinced.

"Don't believe me? It's not a matter of whether you believe it or not, but that this thing is not a product of this world... its composition is extremely complex."

The composition of the doll imprint is indeed very complex, so Chen Luo has never tried to study the essence of his ability in too much depth.

It's not that Chen Luo lacks the awareness to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but rather that he often acquires an SSS-level talent before he has even fully understood an S-level talent.

Chen Luo has always been good at using his ability to uncover hidden things.

Anyway, Chen Luo's most essential talent is actually the Traveler, and all other talents besides Traveler are just secondary.

"Don't underestimate me. It's not like I haven't studied things from other worlds." Black Tower gave Chen Luo a disdainful look.

Do you think my title as the Intellectual Envoy and the 83rd seat in the Genius Club is just for show?

"Really? What if it's a world where imaginary numbers don't exist?"

"Impossible! If a world doesn't have the support of the Imaginary Number Law, then... wait, you come from a world without the Imaginary Number Tree?" Black Tower's eyes widened slightly, staring at Chen Luo as if he were looking at something strange and bizarre.

“Yes. Knowing this, Walter never said we were from the same world when he introduced me; he only said we knew each other in our original world,” Chen Luo nodded.

Whether it's Black Tower, Himeko, Walter, or the others on the train, they're all excellent suckers... Chen Luo was referring to excellent mission posters.

Anyway, as long as they post a task and give some insignificant rewards, Chen Luo is willing to help them fulfill their wishes. What's wrong with that?

"Then what makes you think you can become the envoy of the Imaginary Number?" Black Tower asked, unconvinced.

"Because I give more," Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

Just kidding. Chen Luo spent 5000 Primogems to buy the knowledge of the Tree and the Sea, but because the amount of knowledge was too large, he couldn't handle it. So, the talent panel automatically gave him two Stigmata, costing a total of 2000 Primogems.

Rounding up, the two Stigmata on Chen Luo's left and right hands are worth 3500 Primogems each, equivalent to two 10-pull combos.

If we imagine it again, two 10-pulls, each yielding a 6-star, that's more than 20 6-stars!

This little thing is quite expensive!

Even Chen Luo, who already had a considerable reserve of raw stones, considered this quantity to be outrageously expensive!

"A lot? Can you even buy this? Give me one!" Black Tower said, holding up his hand.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Go away, no way." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Hei Ta.

The combined cost of the Imaginary Stigmata and the Quantum Stigmata is 7000, and you're only offering 600. Who would want to do this business?

"I'll add more money!"

"Adding money won't help; this isn't something money can buy."

"It seems you've paid a considerable price..." Black Tower seemed to have discerned something from Chen Luo's expression.

"Yes, it was quite a painful experience!"

A four-star commission only costs 1000 Primogems, while a five-star single-target commission only costs 2000 Primogems.

"It seems this will be a bit troublesome to study," Black Tower said, shaking the orange juice in the test tube.

Actually, this doll mark has a good compatibility with the world of imaginary numbers, because the Honkai world is the home of the Herrscher of Domination's power.

"But speaking of which... that meteor yesterday that could rival your Star God's strike, could it have been your doing?" Black Tower suddenly looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.

Originally, Chen Luo's self-introduction was completely unworthy of the prestige of the Star God's Strike, but now, identities such as Imaginary Number Envoy and Visitor from Another World have clearly become more fitting.

"What are you talking about? Lolo doesn't know."

"Disgusting." Black Tower looked at Chen Luo with disgust.

Even if you're pretending, at least make it look convincing.

But whatever, as long as the Black Tower space station wasn't destroyed, it's fine.

"Himeko, you were looking for me?" Hoshi peeked out from around the corner.

[All they know is how to smash shards of things that can be broken.]

Chen Luo was stunned when he saw the notification.

What did Xing do?

"You're here, Hoshino. Let me introduce you. This is the true owner of the space station, the 83rd member of the Genius Club—Black Tower." Himeko introduced Black Tower, whose head Chen Luo had been rubbing, to Hoshino.

“I’ll introduce myself properly. Why mention the club? I have so many extraordinary achievements, which one doesn’t sound better than 83rd place?”

“Pfft, the Genius Club…” Xing Zaiyi seemed to lose her composure when she heard that word.

"Laugh if you want, do you think I like the name that old devil Zandal came up with?" Black Tower said unhappily.

"Chen Luo is huge..." After glancing at the Black Tower again, Xing focused her attention on Chen Luo.

Xing had always seen Chen Luo's demonic clones as small as a palm before, so she was quite surprised to see an enormous Chen Luo for the first time.

"Isn't this the normal human body size?" Chen Luo said.

“Indeed…” Xing nodded.

"Hey kid, don't interrupt me." Black Tower nudged Chen Luo in the stomach with his elbow.

"Now the Star Core is this brat? I'll have to take a good look at him." Black Tower once again turned its gaze to Star.

Although the allure of someone from another world, coupled with the orange juice's ability to conjure inanimate objects, was undeniable, Chen Luo's reminder made Black Tower realize something.

Studying items from another world is extremely difficult because the laws governing them are different.

Putting aside everything else, the fact that other worlds do not have the law of imaginary numbers is a violation of the Black Tower's common sense.

Fortunately, a genius is a genius; he can quickly reshape common sense.

Compared to the former, this star is undoubtedly more in line with the common sense of the Black Tower, and should be easier to study... at least relatively easier.

One is an item from another world, and the other is a star core that I have been researching for many years. It goes without saying which one is easier to study, right?

"It's truly amazing. In order to restrain this unactivated star core and save Azure Star from disaster, I built an entire space station... but someone went back to basics and managed to do it with just this brat's body... How did they do that?" After examining the star for a while, Black Tower's expression was quite interesting.

Although Black Tower is a sage of wisdom and one of the most talented people in the universe, even the erudite one cannot claim to be omniscient—at least the erudite one does not know anything about things that even the most amusing person like Ah-ha would not dare to do.

What a coincidence, even Aha himself didn't know.

The more talented a person is, the more likely they are to feel their own lack of knowledge, which is why the Black Tower is highly receptive to new things.

"Moreover, the star core is quite stable within the star's body," Himeko said from the side.

The train has dealt with the star core quite a bit, so Himeko is quite qualified to speak on this matter.

"Yes, this little guy's constitution is really strange..."

“I’m not a little guy,” Xing said.

Xing is not a blank-faced person like Danheng. Xing's micro-expressions are actually quite rich. What's most impressive about Xing is that he can say ridiculously cheesy things with a straight face.

"Huh? Compared to me, aren't you just a little kid? How old are you?"

It was very strange that Black Tower, with his body that looked like he was not yet an adult, spoke such mature words in a rather childish voice.

"Don't judge a book by its cover, Black Tower. Your body looks much smaller than Star."

“I’m different…wait, this guy isn’t the same type as your March 7th, is he? Then…can I do some research on her?” Black Tower became interested.

Although Black Tower already had orange juice, no one said that two studies couldn't be conducted simultaneously.

“I can’t make that decision; you’ll have to ask Hoshino herself,” Himeko shook her head.

"How much?" Xing asked instinctively.

"This kid has a good head for business; I quite like him." Black Tower glanced at Chen Luo, then at Xing, expressing his admiration for Xing.

Compared to Chen Luo, who wouldn't even offer a price, Xing's attitude was much better—at least he was willing to offer a price.

"Don't bully them too much," Himeko said from the side.

Xing is just a baby who was only two hours old!

"I'm interested now, I'm willing to compromise on anything. Having a star core inside your body, isn't that interesting? Be grateful, I'll help you out. This is a service that even the Interstellar Peace Corporation can't get for free!" Black Tower said with considerable confidence.

Black Tower is the messenger of intellect; basically, no one can force her to do anything. She only does what interests her!

The star has a stellar core inside its body. It seems fine now, but what if something goes wrong in the future?

It's definitely a good thing that the Black Tower is willing to lend a hand and do some research.

"Do you understand, Hoshino? She wants you to stay on her space station," Himeko reminded him from the side.

"Hey, no, we need to be rigorous. He'll only stay for a short time. Once I finish my research or get halfway through and lose interest, this kid has to leave." Black Tower interrupted Himeko.

"Then?"

"What does that have to do with me?" Black Tower said matter-of-factly.

Black Tower isn't just being arrogant; she's genuinely a jerk. If she's not interested, she'll simply ignore you!

After spending some time having in-depth conversations with the Black Tower dolls at the bar, Chen Luo understood this principle, which is why Chen Luo never felt guilty about taking advantage of Black Tower!

Perhaps this is the unique indifference and capriciousness of geniuses?

“Hoshi, you know you have another option. There’s a Star Train parked on the platform right now. If you’d like, you can come with us. The train has dealt with Star Cores quite a bit, and what you’re worried about is the answer we’re looking for. Besides… we can come back anytime for Black Tower to do research. She’s really interested in it right now.” Himeko seemed to be very fond of Hoshi, and therefore took great care of her.

"That's not bad. This way, it can keep things somewhat fresh, and I won't have to worry about it when I don't need the kid." Black Tower was quite satisfied with the suggestion.

"You're quite selfish," Xing stated a fact, stating a fact to the Black Tower.

"Hmph, there are plenty of selfish people on the space station than me," Black Tower said with complete self-righteousness.

Generally speaking, people are indeed selfish; otherwise, some people wouldn't be so fond of Chen Luo, who only wants willpower and nothing else.
