Black Tower said no more, turned around as if to do something, but...
She turned around, then turned back: "Do you have any kindling?"
This action left Jiang Lin stunned...
So the Black Tower doll really does spin around...
After regaining his composure, he replied, "Yes, I do, but I need to conduct some experiments first... I cannot give it to others for the time being."
"Okay then, remember to save me a copy."
Jiang Lin nodded, but then suddenly heard Black Tower say:
"How about I have my staff make a portrait of you and hang it up?"
Jiang Lin thought for a moment... "Let's forget about it."
"I really don't understand you guys. Whatever, whatever makes you happy."
Just then, an elegant and well-mannered gentleman walked in.
He is an android, but he exudes a noble aura that gives people a very comfortable feeling.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jiang Lin. Logic: Our meeting at this moment evokes emotions that I cannot fully express in words.”
"Oh, you're here. Never mind, you guys chat first..." With that, Black Tower went off to attend to his own business...
"Hello, Mr. Screwgoom."
After Jiang Lin calmly replied, he secretly sized up this most human-like intelligent machine.
"Your creation, the 'spark,' holds immense significance for me. Question: Are you willing to part with it, even with the painful thought of doing so?"
Screw Gum got straight to the point, but Jiang Lin didn't mind; in fact, he quite liked this way of communicating.
"Regarding the fire source, I'm still missing the last piece of experimental data, so it's not possible now. I'll reserve a copy for you later."
"Thank you for your generosity, and I apologize for my previous eagerness."
Jiang Lin didn't mind: "It's alright. Besides, I don't mind making some friends."
Black Tower finished its work at this point.
She walked over to the two of them and said, "Nguyen Mai just sent a message saying she has arrived."

Chapter 37 Anti-Veritaserum...
After waiting for a while, two beautiful figures walked over...
But their styles are completely different.
That's right, it's Xing and Ruan Mei.
Upon seeing this, Black Tower was the first to greet them:
"Hi, Ruan Mei, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Xing caught up at this moment, and then Hei Ta's gaze also turned to her.
"Oh, you're here too? It seems you two are getting along quite well."
At this moment, Screws Goom placed one hand on his chest and spoke in a gentle voice: "It's a pleasure to meet you, madam. Logic: The reunion has come sooner than expected."
Jiang Lin first nodded to Xing, then looked at Ruan Mei.
Ruan Mei, however, kept staring at Jiang Lin's face, lost in thought...
"Is there something strange on my face?" Jiang Lin asked.
"No, please don't misunderstand, I'm just very interested in you."
After saying that, she stopped looking at Jiang Lin.
Black Tower looked at Xing and said, "Although I didn't invite you, you're welcome. Remember this historic moment: four geniuses in one room. How long has it been since that happened? And how long until the next time?"
"Indeed: Apart from simulating the universe, we rarely have the opportunity to communicate with each other. With Mr. Jiang Lin joining us this time, I am very much looking forward to what kind of intellectual sparks this collision will bring."
Screw Gum chimed in.
For some reason, Xing didn't resort to abstraction this time; instead, he bowed to Screw Gum in a very gentlemanly manner.
Jiang Lin, standing to the side, frowned slightly; he sensed something was off about Xing.
But his memory of what exactly happened was somewhat hazy.
After all, more than a hundred years have passed since the events of the previous life.
It's already quite good that he can remember the general outline of what's happening now.
After much deliberation...
Xing... seems to have been drugged by Ruan Mei.
Seeing that no one spoke, Black Tower continued.
“Then I’ll get straight to the point—I think it’s time to find another partner for the simulated universe.”
Nguyen May asked, somewhat puzzled, "You want to kick Stephen out?"
Then she looked at Jiang Lin...
"Or is it that Mr. Jiang Lin doesn't intend to get deeply involved in the simulated universe?"
"No, how could that be? Stephen didn't want to get involved and abstained from voting—okay? I respect everyone's lifestyle, but he won't have the chance to participate in this decision-making process."
"As for him?" Black Tower looked at Jiang Lin with some hope. "He'd better participate, that way I won't have to put in so much effort."
But Jiang Lin shook his head.
“I am indeed somewhat interested in your simulated universe, but that is limited to the fact that I hope to use the simulated universe to do some things that cannot be attempted in reality.”
Jiang Lin continued speaking in a calm tone.
"Of course I will pay you the reward you deserve. As for the tinder, I can guarantee that each of you will receive one later."
Black Tower shook his head and said with some helplessness:
"See? If he really wanted to participate, he would have said so before. He wouldn't have remained silent until now. Well, he has now expressed his opinion."
Black Tower seemed to have thought of something else and spoke up:
"By the way, you don't have to participate, but you promised to improve the data of the simulated star god, don't forget that."
Jiang Lin: ? ? ?
When did he agree?
Anyway, it's not a big deal. At worst, he can just give some advice based on his own understanding. Well, he won't do anything else besides give advice.
Just then, the gentlemanly voice of Screw Gum came.
Question: Should a fifth collaborator be introduced into the simulated universe?
"Yes, the fifth one. If Jiang Lin doesn't plan to participate... are you really not going to reconsider?"
Jiang Lin shook his head again.
Black Tower said again, helplessly:
"You all know why we're gathered here. What else could bring the Genius Club together but the answer?"
"No one can refuse the secret of the Star God, not even Zandal. Jiang Lin probably thinks so too, but I don't know why he doesn't plan to get involved."
"But I believe that someone will respond to us. If all else fails, we can have Jiang Lin bring Polka Kakamu over."
Jiang Lin, standing to the side, said speechlessly:
"I only declined your invitation, is it necessary to keep asking me out?"
Black Tower ignored Jiang Lin's complaints.
Then Nguyen Mai spoke up, "What if Polka Kakamu really comes?"
"Isn't that perfect? Silent Lord, are you listening? I am #83 Black Tower, and I want to see you. We're sure to have a lot in common."
Black Tower said nonchalantly.
Xing then spoke up: "I think Jiang Lin's name is more useful than yours right now."
Jiang Lin pulled Xing out of the room, no longer eavesdropping on the conversation between the three people inside.
After they went outside, Jiang Lin let go of Xing's hand and then tried to ask her:
"Can you tell me how you met Nguyen Mai?"
"We've studied the little secrets of trash cans together."
Xing started rambling incoherently.
Jiang Lin frowned slightly, then placed his hand on Xing's head and rubbed it.
Xing was somewhat puzzled, but out of trust in her companion, she did not resist.
Before Xing could react, Jiang Lin suddenly flicked him hard...
"Hiss... What are you doing?!"
Xing felt pain, covered her head, and squatted on the ground.
"Now tell me how you met Nguyen Mai."
Jiang Lin asked again.
"We met on the platform, and I even ate her pastries and then... Huh? I'm okay now?"
Jiang Lin nodded: "Okay, don't eat food from strangers next time."
Just then, Nguyen Mai also came out.
Upon seeing this scene, she instantly understood what had happened.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Jiang Lin, and you too… dear… I meant no harm.”
She then went on to explain, “I find it hard to trust anyone other than myself. In meticulous research, any error in any data can cause problems, and I hate problems that are out of control.”
"So I just gave him a little antiemetic, which is harmless to the body. It's just that there are some topics he can't express his true thoughts about."
