Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

The Black Tower was very satisfied with Estád's answer.

This way she could observe Liu Bai and Aistar's situation.

As for Black Tower personally taking the field, it wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Rather, the existence of the Quantum Sea truly warrants the Black Tower's personal intervention.

First, study the Sea of ​​Quanta, and at the same time, conduct military training for Estád and Liu Bai as needed.

"Then when do we set off?"

"Go check if Liu Bai is alright. If he is, we'll set off now."

……

"Oh……"

"Don't look at me like that, you've seen it before."

Black Tower was slightly displeased with Liu Bai's surprised gaze.

This gaze is not one of appreciation for beauty, but rather the gaze one would give to a rare animal.

"Although I've seen it before, the environment definitely brings a different feeling."

Liu Bai replied, stroking his chin.

"for example?"

Liu Bai's statement piqued Black Tower's interest.

"For example... in a vast space... it feels a little smaller?"

"Age?"

Black Tower lazily curled the corners of his mouth, "Clumsy flattery."

This kind of flattery really depends on the person; for example, Liu Bai's words are quite...

"...Is it age?"

Hei Ta suddenly noticed that Liu Bai's expression was somewhat indescribable.

"It's about age. You and Estella look like sisters when you stand together."

Liu Bai readily agreed, nodding repeatedly.

"..."

Hei Ta stared at Liu Bai for a while, trying to find the guilty conscience on Liu Bai's face.

However, one of Liu Bai's strengths is that he is thick-skinned enough to talk about unimportant issues.

Hei Ta watched for a while but couldn't see any guilt on Liu Bai's face.

Even if Liu Bai is genuinely insecure, Black Tower won't say anything—after all, Black Tower has high hopes for Liu Bai right now.

This level of offense to the Black Tower is still acceptable.

At least Liu Bai didn't say that "he felt inferior to Ruan Mei."

"Don't look at this kind of person."

Black Tower glanced at Illusion.

After all, the current experimental site is on Huanlong's chest, and Black Tower casually mentioned Huanlong.

However, if you spend too much time with a woman of Huanlong's size, your common sense about size might really get distorted.

Huanlong wasn't deaf, and upon hearing this, he immediately looked down at the Black Tower.

Alright, I'll comply.

After all, they're so young; she doesn't need to be so petty as to deprive them of even the right to be jealous.

"Alright, alright, you two, let's stop talking about things that aren't related to work."

While trying to smooth things over, Estádio gave Liu Bai a flirtatious look.

"Well, let's get started now."

"Okay, you and Liu Bai go set up the equipment. I'll do some other preparations first."

Black Tower glanced at Estella, seemingly determined to see through her every little thought.

Then, Black Tower waved his wand, and fairytale-like special effects burst forth from it.

"Scientific magician and all that, it's really ridiculous."

"Stop being so cheeky."

Estella tugged at Liu Bai's sleeve in a coquettish manner.

"Come and lend a hand... Also, take a look at me today..."

"Cough cough."

Liu Bai coughed twice.

Although Huanlong isn't exactly an outsider, there's no need to be so blatant.

In addition, the vast environment of the Quantum Sea can easily give people the feeling of a "public place".

Not to mention the Black Tower is right next to it!

He didn't want to get caught by the Black Tower while touching Estádio!

...On another note, this situation could give rise to a mini-game called "Sneak a peek at Estella without letting the Black Tower find out."

It's one of those simple games with the "Statues" rule, isn't it quite common?

"Ok."

Although Estella couldn't grasp Liu Bai's complex psychology, she understood the most basic meaning.

Aista was disappointed, so she pouted and started fiddling with the instruments.

As she fiddled with things, Estella's thoughts suddenly began to wander.

She thought of something.

If Black Tower is dragged into this mess by her, wouldn't Black Tower be able to use her position to boss her around at will?

Forget about defeating Huang Quan; just the Black Tower, her own teacher, is enough to overwhelm her.

In that case... wouldn't it be very dangerous to drag Black Tower into the water?

Especially since Ms. Black Tower is notoriously self-centered!

"Boss...you'll always love me, right?"

"Why ask such a heavy question all of a sudden!?"

Liu Bai was startled.

Generally speaking, the appearance of this kind of problem means that the male is about to be stabbed!

Oh, or maybe other female characters will be the ones getting stabbed.

In short, this is a sign that things are heading in a bad direction.

"I just had to say something."

After a moment's pause, Estella realized that her problem was a bit strange and immediately tried to fix it.

"Then I'm even more curious about what your 'feelings' are."

Liu Bai began to reflect on whether he had neglected Aista a bit these past few days.

...Bullshit! We were just fed, okay?!

Liu Bai is now a little worried about Aisda's mental state.

That expression clearly shows that she's hiding something!

"Um... well, it's just that I suddenly felt a little emo! Boss, you know what I mean!"

Estelle continued to find excuses.

Then... Liu Bai became even more worried.

However, Liu Bai also realized that continuing to "interrogate" seemed unlikely to yield any results.

At this moment, Estella also sensed a strange misunderstanding.

"Um... why don't you go and chat with Lady Black Tower first, Boss? You probably don't really understand these instruments, do you?"

It really is.

And you can also take the opportunity to talk to Black Tower about Estádio.

It seems that Liu Bai has no reason to refuse, both emotionally and logically.

However, the Black Tower was still maintaining a spell that Liu Bai couldn't understand at all, so Liu Bai could only wait here for the Black Tower to finish casting the spell.

About ten minutes later, the Black Tower stopped casting the spell.

"...Why are you looking at me from behind?"

"What can I do if I don't look at you?"

Liu Bai looked puzzled. "Was that magic just now?"

"Considering your intelligence, my answer is 'yes'."

"...It's actually just the application of imaginary energy, right?"

"You can still react, can't you?"

Black Tower crossed his arms, a slightly arrogant smile on his face.

"If you are ignorant enough, life is full of magic."

"...I can tell you also really like elements of magic, right?"

Liu Bai raised an eyebrow.

"If you really don't want people to misunderstand, then don't dress up like a witch and carry a magic wand—or rather, something that looks like a magic wand, okay?"

"..."

The Black Tower responded with silence.

She discovered that Liu Bai's thought process was truly unique—although it was also possible that she was too detached from real life.

Anyway, Liu Bai is bold enough and has a peculiar focus, so much so that he always manages to say things that really annoy her.

"You could consider this as magic, though."

Black Tower did not show any sign of losing his composure.

"From a normal person's perspective, any application of imaginary number energy is no different from magic, right?"

Once Liu Bai discovered the truth, he could no longer be led by the nose.

"Or rather, even the so-called 'miracles' in this world cannot be separated from imaginary energy."

"Hmph, congratulations on discovering the most useless basic rule."

Black Tower's lips curled up slightly.

It's easier said than done, but the word "application" is a chasm that most people can never cross.

For those who cannot comprehend her achievements, the word "magic" seems more "comforting"—or rather, comforting the foolish.

But... on the other hand, the essence is often the easiest thing to be obscured and ignored, which is a common mistake made by mediocre people.

She had heard similar criticisms before: that they couldn't see the essence of things, and had lost the scholarly spirit of inquiry they should have. They preferred to believe in "magic" rather than try to make an effort... Well, she simply wouldn't listen.

Liu Bai's keen insight is undoubtedly an excellent quality—ignoring all the fancy stuff and pointing straight to the most authentic essence.

"...Looks like I said something pointless."

"Obviously~"
