"Thanks to the perfect industrial and agricultural system, Melthis was able to become one of the most thriving of the many independent cities. The automated agricultural sector we developed is what guarantees that we can export products to other independent cities on the basis of self-sufficiency."
"Melthis has actually tried to open up the wilderness many times, but they all fail. We still can't deal with large-scale natural disasters outside of the independent cities."
"Okay. Class dismissed."
"Aoi, come here for a moment."
At the end of the last class of the afternoon, the old teacher suddenly called out to Aoi, who was holding his phone. The latter could just awkwardly put it away.
"I'm coming."
Aoi followed the old teacher out of the classroom and walked to the corner of the teaching building.
The old professor looked disappointed and said in a bad tone: "Aoi ah, you play with your phone in class every day. What are you doing? You weren't like that back then. I remember you study hard and take notes every day."
"It's not easy to graduate from Herrendor. I know that studying is tiring, but you have to understand that studying is the best and fairest way for everyone to change their destiny."
"After you leave school, there is a chance you will be eliminated for taking the wrong step during an interview or for not looking good or sounding bad. There's no justice in society."
Aoi secretly said: "I think I'm handsome."
"What did you say? Do you want to become a gigolo in the future?"
TThe old professor was quiet for a moment before saying, "I asked the counselor about your situation, and he helped you apply for the student grant."
Aoi was silent for a long time. He knew that the old professor spoke sincerely. He had better not be ungrateful.
Even though he knew he had more important things than studying, he couldn't hurt the old professor who wanted to help him.
"Thank you."
"Thank you." He took a deep breath and said serious, "I understand, Professor. It's all my fault." Aoi admits his mistake and promised, "I won't make any excuses. I will definitely sit in the first row and listen attentively in the future."
Well, it means just listening to your class. I will play with my phone in other classes.
The old professor thought that Aoi was bullshiting him, but he quickly saw a pair of sincere and souled eyes. It was too pious. Only a thoroughly good person or a true drama queen could show that.
"Alright, I believe in you." The old professor nodded and left, satisfied.
Aoi snapped. Twenty years of study is enough. Besides, he didn't need to worry about his livelihood… like the master of the Tower of Babel, it was impossible for him to worry about money in the future.
"Special thanks."
He bowed slightly in the direction of the old professor who had left. He knew very well that he was not destined to walk the path of an normal person.
Aoi turns around and took out his phone again. Without hesitation, he sent a message to the counselor to ask about the grant.
Although he will definitely not lack money in the future, he could not give up the money he could get now!
Half an hour later, he was in the library again. There were many people studying hard in the hall, but someone actually took his spot.
Aoi snapped. He was here to play with his phone anyway, and there were no books on his chair. So be it. He then found another distant spot with a light gray sofa.
It was more comfortable to sit on but not appropriate for reading. Aoi lies on the sofa and logged in to the Tower of Babel. He first took a look at the profits for auto-playing.
"Core Operator · Nightblade Information Log."
"Chased the Black Star Cultist back to his house, His son defended him. Nightblade let him off and left."
"Interrogated the cultist in the alley afterwards and finally killed this Black Star Cultist, Mood -3."
"Rescued two children abducted by that cultist, Mood +2."
Aoi was silent as he continued to read. He suddenly realized that not only did Nightblade's attributes changed but there was also a new Milestone.
A brand-new Character Card appears:

"The future Queen of the Night, invincible in the darkness."
You have grown up, Nightblade, Aoi is very satisfied with this type of Core Operator.
He then checked Soul Apostle.
"Core Operator · Soul Apostle Information Log."
"Reading GL magazines with her personal maid, Ewen. Learning makeup and making yourself a clown, Mood +1."
"Anonymously posted online to denounce the dickhead netizens who defamed 'Soul Apostle', Mood -1."
"Knowing that a person called 'Marquis Scarlet' from Blood Tribe wants to come to the house as a guest, malicious, Mood -1."
As always, he was speechless in every sense of the word.
Marquis Scarlet... For some reason, Aoi felt that he had seen this name somewhere before, but he didn't remember clearly.
Aoi thought for a moment, then suddenly saw an icon popped up in the upper left corner of the screen. It was the Icon of the Black Star glittering.
"Yes, it's about time." Aoi immediately guessed what it was.
[Notification]
"New Event: Black Star Society opens!"
Aoi had never seen this activity before.
Although he had cleared the game once, there were still missions in the second round that he had not seen before. The Tower of Babel has lots of random content. Every time the game reopens, he can play many new missions.
"No, it's not a game at all." Aoi muttered to herself.
When he played the Tower of Babel for the first time, he had only drawn the "Nightblade" in the later stages. At that time, the Black Star Society was already gone. There were no related missions or activities at all.
Through the "Nightblade" intelligence diary, Aoi has come to understand the existence of the Black Star Society quite well.
Black Star Society was an evil society that believed in the Chaos Star. Their power was spread throughout the Aether, and they were extremely powerful. Their head in Melthis was a senior priest known as Mr. Mystery.
"Basically, he should be the boss of this event."
Aoi gently opened the new activity. Soon, the game screen changed to a map of Melthis City. The map was also marked with six blinking red dots. Clearly, the new event checkpoint.
[Game Notification: Please choose the latest level to begin!]
Aoi could only click on the first checkpoint – Visit the Vampire.
Soon a new prompt appears.
[Game Notification: Please choose one booster as help for this stage. The other two will be included in the options for future mission help.]
The first stage has three optional boosters: The Marquis Scarlet's Secret, The Mysterious Power --Photosynthesis, and Relic -- Merlin's Cloak.
"Attention, core operators can't fight continuously! Please match the order of battle reasonable!" Aoi knew exactly how the game worked.
"The Marquis Scarlet's Secret" would help him complete the mission easily, but choosing the other two boosters was not impossible. However, it would be difficult.
After clearing the event, all the mysterious powers and relics that had been chosen could be obtained with a certain amount of Source Force points… It was definitely profitable.
"If I want more, I have to choose the latter two boosters. Then there's no doubt at all."
Aoi chose Merlin's Cloak first.
Merlin's Cloak: The cloak of the legendary great spell-casters. The wearer will have the ability to transform himself/herself into a variety of animals, even powerful magical beasts.
What this Relic is different from Invisible Mask is, Invisible Mask can only change the shape and appearance of a human being. However, Merlin's cloak was able to change people's bodies into an animal or magical beasts with the actual ability to fight.
[Game notification: The stage begins!]
"Have fun!"
——
On a rainy night.
The storm and thunder intertwined, and the strong wind swept up the sudden rain like millions of whips. There was no sign of it stopping.
Kaytlyn stood calmly in the alley, black fire burning on the bodies behind her. It was the counterattack of the Black Star Society.
During this time, Kaytlyn eliminated many Cultists, successfully completely angering the Black Star Society.
She had just fought with this group of cultists and suffered a slight injury to her shoulder, but it was not a big deal for a hunter.
"Thank you, Master."
If it was half a month ago, she would have definitely died already, Kaytlyn silently whispered at the alley behind her and stepped away.
The storm-washed streets had long since emptied of pedestrians. In her dark raincoat, she moved alone.
The overwhelming raindrops almost formed an airtight veil, and the wounds gradually healed. Kaytlyn thought about how to take revenge on the Black Star Society next. As much as she wanted to destroy it and kill Mr. Mystery, she also knew that it wasn't practical at this stage.
"Calm down. You must learn patience, Nightblade." Kaytlyn closed her eyes and stopped thinking about the faces of her family.
To the point of pleading with Tower of Babel's master "Savior" to destroy the local Black Star Society, she didn't even dare to think about this kind of thing.
I'm just a nameless little pawn, how can a mysterious organization trying to save the world act for me?
At this moment, Kaylyn suddenly heard a familiar male voice in her mind.
[Nightblade.]
[ Tower of Babel is about to destroy the Black Star Faction here. You have been chosen as the executor.]
