The Black Tower is really about to vomit.

I'm not dizzy, but I'm bored.

“See? I’m definitely not suited to be the Masked Fool. The Masked Fool won’t give up fun for profit, but I will,” Chen Li said.

"Don't make being greedy for money sound so natural," Kaguya Houraisan retorted.

“I can bear the infamy, but I want to declare that everything I have done is to save the world,” Chen Li retorted.

"Yes, yes, I believe you. But what do you need the Magical Girl entry for?" Kaguya Houraisan nodded perfunctorily.

"For Sirin."

"Hmm?" Sirin, who was eating while hugging her Bella doll, looked up, wondering why this matter was related to her.

"Sirin, are you... interested in becoming a magical girl?" Chen Li suddenly asked.

"Magical girls? No interest."

"Don't be so quick to refuse. I think you're born to be a magical girl."

"Why do you say that?"

"After all, as the Herrscher of the Void, you possess the ability to manipulate space, and your connection to the Imaginary Dimension is closer than any other Herrscher. You can even use your powers to travel to the location of the Imaginary Tree... With such power, aren't you also a kind of magical girl?" Chen Li stroked his chin.

The Honkai world has its own unique characteristics. The powers of the Herrscher of the Void are very special even in the Honkai world, and if they were placed in the Honkai Iron world... they would be even more special.

【Destiny】is a part of the imaginary number, a metaphysical spiritual aggregate. When certain conditions are met, this part of the imaginary number will be completely occupied by a certain intelligent being.

This intelligent being is called the Star God, and the energy He possesses is called Destiny.

In other words, if Chen Li were to use the [Imaginary Number] and [Magical Girl] entries together to create a wondrous object, would it be possible for someone to become a magical girl belonging to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers?

If this strange object reaches the star level of one star, and the imaginary number it can mobilize can reach the level of a star god, does that mean that Chen Li created a star god in the Collapse Iron World?

In that case, how many crystals and star stones could one obtain?

"Herrscher of the Void powers? Sounds interesting... Sirin, right? Want to learn magic with me?" Black Tower observed Sirin with great interest.

Black Tower had only just learned that Sirin was a being from a different world within the same worldview as himself, but at first Black Tower wasn't very interested.

But if your abilities can reach the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, then the Black Tower will become interested.

The Imaginary Tree is a widely accepted cosmological theory in the academic community today.

This theory likens different worlds in different times and spaces to a tree structure: each branch is a form of world existence; each flower and leaf is its present and past in the dimension of time. The canopy, by absorbing the ownerless imaginary energy in the spacetime dimensional space, always has a dynamic structure—new buds grow, withered leaves fall off, and countless births and endings unfold in the boundless universe.

This is why every planet that gave birth to civilization is so similar.

After seeing Sirin, Black Tower really wanted to put this theory into practice.

"Magic? No interest. I've recently been learning how to design clothes online, and I just designed a set. Chen Li, would you like to give it a try?" Xilin asked Chen Li directly after rejecting Black Tower.

"Huh? No wonder you haven't left the house all day. I didn't expect you to be designing clothes." Chen Li was taken aback.

So, how about giving it a try?

"Okay..." Chen Li nodded reluctantly.

Even if it's the child's first time designing clothes, and the design might not be very good, we shouldn't discourage their enthusiasm.

“My wardrobe is huge, about the size of one or two space stations. You might find some creative inspiration in it. And if you learn magic from me, you can quickly make clothes that match your imagination without the need for tailoring.” Black Tower continued to tempt her, driven by curiosity about Sirin’s powers.

"Magic...is it really that convenient?" Sirin was slightly tempted after hearing Black Tower's description.

"Of course!"

"Well... I can give it a try."

"I can not only teach you magic, but also how to use the powers of the Herrscher of the Void more skillfully," Black Tower said confidently.

Although Black Tower doesn't yet fully understand what the Herrscher of the Void's powers truly represent, it doesn't diminish Black Tower's confidence.

Learn math, physics and chemistry well, and you won’t be afraid to travel around the world!

As a member of the genius club, Black Tower certainly has reason to be confident.

"Then... teacher, what do I need to do now?" Sirin quickly accepted the situation.

"It's very simple. I'll give you one day to thoroughly study this book on advanced mathematics." Black Tower pulled out a book from somewhere and handed it to Sirin.

"To learn magic, you need to learn advanced mathematics?" Sirin was taken aback.

“Learning magic requires it, and using the power of the Herrscher of the Void requires it even more. Since the power of the Herrscher of the Void is related to space, you need to learn to calculate to more accurately grasp the distance of spatial teleportation and the angle of spatial cutting, and you also need to know what formula to use to influence time through space in a more energy-efficient way... Otherwise, how did you manipulate space before?” Black Tower looked at Sirin with suspicion.

Could it be that they used brute force and instinct—a method devoid of any skill?

Xilin was silent for a moment, then picked up the math book that Black Tower handed her and slowly opened it.

"Did you take the wrong book?" Sirin suddenly asked.

No, why would you ask that?

If you didn't pick up the wrong book, then why is there a bunch of English symbols in your math book?

“…I’m not learning anymore, goodbye.” Sirin pushed the book toward the Black Tower and said quite decisively.

"why?"

“I don’t understand it. I don’t understand a single thing about this book!” Celine shook her head frantically.

If there's even the slightest interest Sirin in learning magic...

Celine had absolutely no interest in learning mathematics!

"Don't give up so easily. Take another look. Isn't this book very simple? I knew it when I was 10 years old." Seeing that something he was interested in was slipping away, Heita stood up and walked towards Sirin.

"I can't learn it, I can't understand it. Stop chasing me!" Xilin teleported behind Chen Li in a flash, looking fearfully at the Black Tower... or more accurately, the advanced mathematics book in the Black Tower's hand.

"Alright, Black Tower, don't push Sirin anymore. When people are pushed to the limit, they're capable of anything." Chen Li patted Sirin's head, who was hiding behind him, and said to the somewhat unwilling Black Tower.

“Except for the advanced calculus problems,” Xilin added, hiding behind Chen Li.

"It's okay if you don't study math, how about learning some physics?" Although Black Tower didn't understand why Sirin was so averse to these simple math problems, he still made some concessions.

"...and she can't even solve the physics problems," Sirin added.

"You, you, you... A life without learning math and physics is a boring life! You're not even interested in solving problems, so what are you interested in?" Black Tower couldn't understand Chen Li and Xilin's thought process at all.

"To save the world," Chen Li said.

“To date the man who will save the world,” Sirin said.

"???"

“I meant saving the world bubble. I was just terrified by the advanced mathematics in the Black Tower’s hands,” Sirin quickly explained.

"Oh, you were scared by advanced mathematics, I can understand." Chen Li nodded in deep agreement.

Chen Li thought that Xilin had accidentally blurted out the truth because she was scared.

"..." by Black Tower.

What a load of rubbish! The woman behind you is obviously trying to pick you up!

Chen Li, are you awake?

However, after accidentally discovering Sirin's interest, Black Tower came up with another plan!

Chapter 163 Black Tower: [Begging for Rare Items Module], activated!

"Learn magic with me, and I can help you woo Chen Li," Black Tower tempted with a straight face.

"Are you misunderstanding something? I'm not interested in Chen Li," Xilin said calmly.

"Oh... if you're not interested in him, then I'll go after him."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Hmm?" Black Tower looked at Sirin suspiciously.

This woman doesn't play by the rules.

"What do you mean? Let's be frank." Black Tower didn't understand Sirin, so he didn't understand what she meant by that.

But Black Tower was certain that Xilin had feelings for Chen Libie.

If I had no other thoughts, I would just go to Chen Li's bedroom and spin around 3 times!

“If you can get him with your doll-like body, then I can too. So go ahead,” Sirin explained.

Since Chen Li wasn't in front of her anyway, Xilin decided not to pretend anymore.

"What do you mean, 'If I can, then you can too'? Who are you looking down on? Besides, if I really did bewitch him, wouldn't you be crying?"

“No problem, I have this.” Celine reached out and a small pair of scissors appeared in her hand.

"This is... the Myriad Manifestations Severance that appeared in Chen Li's Miracle Card?" Black Tower, who had looked through all of Chen Li's Miracle Cards out of curiosity, recognized the pair of scissors.

“That’s right, so even if you really manage to snatch Chen Li, I’m not worried. I can just cut the thread of fate between you and Chen Li and tie it to me instead, right?” Xilin said smugly.

Simple, convenient, and fast!

I, Celine, am simply a genius.
