"What era is this? You still think I'm just a traditional virtual projection? Don't underestimate me."
"Oh really?"
Lin Nai rose with interest, extended his hand, and as expected, it passed right through.
After that.
Under Silver Wolf's gaze, which clearly said, 'Are you an idiot?', Lin Nai moved his hand in and out several times.
"What exactly do you want?"
"Hmm... A?"
"What 'A'... No, Lin Nai, are you sick!" Silver Wolf looked at him, bewildered.
She had just realized what Lin Nai was saying.
Unfortunately, she was currently just a holographic projection. After all, Black Tower was back, and she couldn't be too arrogant.
Otherwise, she would have pinned Lin Nai down on the bed and punched him a few times by now.
Tsk.
Seeing Silver Wolf's displeasure, Lin Nai nodded with satisfaction.
Joy and happiness are built upon others.
That saying was quite interesting.
Speaking of which...
Lin Nai remembered something and pulled out a large handful of gold coins from his system space.
This invasion by the Anti-Matter Legion had actually dropped quite a lot of gold coins for him.
More than just one handful.
Then.
Under Silver Wolf's stunned confusion, Lin Nai pulled out handful after handful of glittering gold coins.
No way.
This guy is this rich?
Did Black Tower give it to him?
Soon.
A small mountain of gold, even taller than Silver Wolf, appeared.
Lin Nai blinked and exchanged a look with the holographic projection of Silver Wolf beside him.
"All of this is yours? Where the hell did you pull it from!!"
"Uh... I don't know."
Lin Nai played dumb. He couldn't exactly say, 'System space, Honkai Impact!', could he?
"There's just so much..." Silver Wolf looked at it and felt a pang of greed.
If this were a game, she felt she could max out all seventy-something of her accounts.
"I didn't expect there to be this much either, but it looks like I won't have to worry about money when I go out."
"Go out?"
"Yeah, I'll be leaving the space station with the Stellar Express in a couple of days."
"I see."
Silver Wolf looked enlightened.
But at the same time, she frowned.
Wait, she just found an opportunity to leave a backdoor in Lin Nai's room!
And he's leaving already?
Does that mean she has to find a way to leave a backdoor again?
So troublesome.
Hmm... unless Lin Nai takes his computer host with him when he travels?
Never mind.
If he's going with the train, she could meet up with Lin Nai according to the script then.
Besides.
The train isn't the Black Tower Space Station; its network defenses probably aren't that robust.
"Silver Wolf? What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Lin Nai put the gold coins back into his system space and sat down in his chair.
Silver Wolf, who was watching this scene, fell silent. She still couldn't figure out what the principle behind it was.
"Oh, someone's here. I'm logging off for now. I'll find you again later."
With that said.
Silver Wolf's holographic projection disappeared.
Until now.
Lin Nai still didn't know what Silver Wolf had come to do via holographic projection.
Testing?
Knock, knock, knock—
"Hm?"
Lin Nai curiously walked to the door. Who would come looking for him at this hour?
He opened the door.
A staff member stood before him.
Lin Nai recognized the person, Wen Mingde, the head of the Department of All Things.
He was a person with a very interesting way of speaking.
"..."
"Hello? What's wrong?"
"..."
Seeing that the other person wasn't speaking, Lin Nai narrowed his eyes and immediately noticed something was wrong.
The reflection in his pupils was abnormal, and his sweating response was abnormal.
When he saw Lin Nai, a flicker of fear flashed in his eyes.
"...Alien Water Sprite?"
"N-No, it's not me!"
As if snapping out of his shock, the Alien Water Sprite turned and tried to flee.
However...
Immediately after, The Alien Water Sprite felt its vision blur. Lin Nai was already standing in front of it, holding a pitch-black sword.
"I'll give you three seconds to get on the ground, or I'll kill you."
"Gulp!!"
The Alien Water Sprite obediently lay on the ground, completely still.
Lin Nai retracted his Curry Stick, his expressionless face: "Your luck is really bad. You found me first."
He caught me last time.
Why did he catch me again this time?
Oh.
Right.
This guy came to me this time. I didn't even have to go out and catch him.
"I think so too..."
"Who asked you? Stay down obediently!"
"Gulp gulp gulp..."
The Alien Water Sprite trembled.
How could it run into such a jinx...
If you were to ask me before, it really wouldn't be afraid.
But unfortunately, after being released this time, it saw Lin Nai tearing apart Void Trotters with his bare hands.
Thinking about it made the Alien Water Sprite terrified.
It didn't want to be torn apart, so it was better to stay put obediently.
"Oh, right. Who let you out this time?"
"Gulp..."
The Alien Water Sprite transformed into a blue-haired girl with a bun hairstyle: "It was her. I don't know her name."
"Hmm... Lamina?"
Lin Nai rubbed his chin. He vaguely remembered that girl seemed to be someone's secretary or assistant?
Never mind.
Leave it to Asta.
If Lamina truly has something she can't speak of, Asta might be able to guide her.
After sending Asta a message and Lamina's picture.
Lin Nai returned to his room to rest.
Chapter 34: Embarking on a Journey
A few days later.
With most of the space station's situation completely stabilized, it was time for Lin Nai to embark on a new journey.
On a side note.
These past few days, Xing had once again let the space station experience what it meant to be full of vitality (or utter chaos).
To prevent the curious Xing from messing around, Lin Nai was entrusted with a crucial responsibility by Asta: becoming Xing's guardian.
In every sense of the word.
Although Kafka handing Xing over to him might have also been a way to have him keep an eye on Xing.
In conclusion.
Lin Nai had actually been quite busy these past few days.
The day of departure.
Lin Nai tidied his attire, put on his jacket, and walked to his room's door with his luggage.
