A bunch of capitalists.

Not to mention.

The company must be full of infighting.

Lin Nai really didn't want to play the "Legend of Zhen Huan" game when the time came, that would be too much.

With his brain.

He wouldn't even survive one episode in "The Legend of Zhen Huan."

So it's better not to mention it!

When it comes to intelligence, Lin Nai has always been self-aware.

Besides.

Lin Nai didn't think that if he really went to the company, Asta wouldn't find a way to help.

At the very least, she wouldn't let him suffer.

But was that really okay?

If Asta helped him, it would be a small matter of friends helping each other, but if someone with ulterior motives blew it out of proportion...

It would be about managing personnel assignments and other messy things within the company.

Plus, some people would definitely try to find Asta through him.

Wouldn't that be the same as letting Asta return to the quagmire she had finally escaped?

So Lin Nai would never go to that place.

Oh, not absolutely.

Lin Nai had once used his earth-shattering wisdom to ponder this.

The conclusion he reached was...

As long as he waited until he possessed the power to break the rules, he could openly challenge them!

Rules! They are meant to be broken!!

There's also this point.

Working for others is impossible for me~ It's impossible for me to work for others in this lifetime.

I don't know how to do business, so I can only rely on Black Tower to sustain myself~

Asta didn't really mind.

Rather, if she didn't want to hide anything from Lin Nai, thinking that he would be unhappy if he found out she had kept secrets from him in the future.

She would have refused Lin Nai's request the moment she saw Topaz's message.

Although the final outcome wouldn't change much.

Asta's smile deepened, "Alright, then I'll refuse it for you."

"Thank you for your trouble, Asta."

After that.

Asta was working on the space station with one hand, replying to messages with the other, and even had time to chat with Lin Nai.

For this situation.

Lin Nai's evaluation was: Asta, you're so powerful, you can multitask three things at once.

"By the way, it's almost noon, Asta, do you want to get something to eat together?"

He hadn't even eaten breakfast.

He was already starving and incredibly hungry...

Asta didn't refuse either. She put down her work and left with Lin Nai to head to the cafeteria.

Chapter 4: Hey! Let me make you a bowl of noodles!

Walking on the road.

Asta looked tired, which made Lin Nai curious.

"What's wrong? It's rare to see you so tired."

In Lin Nai's impression, Asta rarely appeared like this.

Even when she wasn't working, Asta was like an ordinary girl... an ordinary rich girl, but she was always energetic.

Asta sighed heavily, troubled, "I don't know what's going on, but lately, so many staff members have been listless."

"Isn't that normal?"

Lin Nai didn't think much of it. Most of the staff who joined the Black Tower space station were either tech enthusiasts or fervent fans of Black Tower.

And most of these people were workaholics.

It was rare to see someone slacking off. For example, Wen Shiqi, who usually rested in the core passageway, was a minority.

Even the Security Department, under Arlan's strict guidance, had very few slackers.

"Never mind, let's talk about something more interesting," Asta changed the subject. "Speaking of which, Lin Nai, you seem quite familiar with Miss Topaz."

"We're just acquaintances, really~"

Asta looked at them playfully. "This is the first time I've seen her invite someone so frequently."

She was genuinely curious.

What was the deal with those two?

"Ah, that..."

Lin Nai rested his hands behind his head and said, "We just exchange pets and play Aetherium Wars together, you know. We got familiar that way."

Occasionally, Lin Nai would also treat Topaz's pets.

Hmm...

Speaking of which, that guy didn't still plan on making him a personal doctor, did he?

Gulp!

Don't let that happen!!

"Besides, my relationship with Topaz is very pure."

Topaz sometimes visited the Black Tower space station, sometimes to see Asta, and sometimes to collect debts.

Then, through a series of coincidences, Lin Nai met that girl who loved animals.

As for the coincidences...

It was Zhazha.

When Lin Nai saw the Svarog Heavens, his Honkai: Star Rail instincts kicked in, and he wanted to see if it would drop any gold coins.

So, he activated stealth and planned to take down Zhazha.

But he was discovered by Topaz midway.

To avoid looking too awkward, Lin Nai could only use the excuse of wanting to examine Zhazha.

Fortunately, he was still a medical staff member here at the Black Tower space station.

Thanks to the system, probably.

"Yes, yes, pure,"

Asta put her hands behind her back, muttering softly, "Surely our relationship is closer, right? After all, I was here first."

Ever since those two met.

Every time Topaz came to the space station to collect debts from Ms. Black Tower, she would stay for a while to hang out with Lin Nai.

Before, after she was paid, Topaz would swiftly move on to her next destination to collect debts.

It was completely different now.

"Hmm? What?"

"Nothing."

"Really?"

"Of course."

Hearing this, Lin Nai didn't pay it any mind and continued to chat with Asta about the next topic.

Before long.

The two arrived at the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was bustling with people at this time.

Although the space station had fried rice robots, most people still came here to eat most of the time.

If it were in the past, maybe not...

Lin Nai reminisced about the old days.

He remembered when he first arrived, the food in the staff cafeteria could truly be described as... indescribable.

For example, dried earthworms of all flavors. Back then, the staff of the Black Tower space station even used them as their staple food!!!

When he first arrived, Lin Nai's face almost turned green with shock.

Eating that stuff.

He might as well have turned into a herbivore and eaten the greenery on the Black Tower space station!

Just kidding, before he transmigrated, he couldn't even stand eating insects, not even silkworm pupae.

Although that stuff was said to clear heat and relieve fire, and also replenish deficiencies.

But Lin Nai couldn't accept it physiologically.

It's revolting.

Truly revolting.

Can you imagine the feeling when the main course at a fancy restaurant is dried earthworms of various flavors?

It's elegant yet absurd!

It's as out of place as adding a braised egg to spaghetti.

It's as bizarre as pairing steak with knife-cut noodles.

It's as outrageous as adding chocolate sauce and soda to a rice noodle roll!!

Oh, my Three Pure Ones, if anyone tries to make me eat those damned dried earthworms, I swear I'll kick them to death with my boots!

Getting off track.

Afterward, Lin Nai made a small deal with Black Tower to improve the space station's food.

Lin Nai: Black Tower, you wouldn't want your unfinished experiments to starve to death, would you?

Mm.

Black Tower certainly didn't want that, especially since she was very interested in Lin Nai at the time.

It wouldn't be fun if Lin Nai suddenly went on a hunger strike and starved.

So
