Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 213 An Invitation from Kafka

As Eve watched the swarm of insects blot out the sky, her entire body glowed, and green light particles burst forth, sweeping across the entire area.

At that moment, it was as if the whole world had been put on pause.

Swarms of insects, iron cavalry... all the images froze at this moment.

Before Eve could react, everything around her suddenly went dark.

"Black Tower, what's wrong?" Eve looked around in confusion.

"Strange... the simulated universe seems to be malfunctioning," came the voice of the Black Tower.

"What's going on? There were no problems in the previous tests."

Black Tower carefully examined the underlying logic of the simulated universe but did not seem to find any problems.

But the entire system was as if it were covered by an invisible hand, and all the code could not run.

"Forget it, it's just a trial version anyway. Maybe I shouldn't set this simulated universe as a campaign mode? I should just stick with the previous level mode..." Black Tower muttered to himself.

"Black Tower, Black Tower?" Eve called out anxiously for Black Tower.

"This test will end now. I'll call you again once the system is fixed," Black Tower said regretfully.

"Sure, but I can't guarantee I'll be available," Eve said, giving Black Tower a heads-up.

"It's alright, come again when you have time," Black Tower said nonchalantly.

After saying that, Eve logged out of the simulated universe, leaving only Black Tower behind.

"Strange? What went wrong?"

Black Tower has restarted the simulated universe, adjusting the levels to a global locust plague campaign mode.

The surrounding scene suddenly transformed into the beginning of the Grammer Embers.

"Is this okay?"

The Black Tower watched the war escalate without encountering any bugs; the system continued to function normally.

"Try again."

The Black Tower adjusted the progress back to when the war had just begun, and still no problems arose.

After that, Black Tower tried more than ten times, but the bug that Eve had just experienced did not occur.

"Strange? Why haven't any problems occurred yet? Could it be that the problem lies with her?" Black Tower pondered.

...........................

Changletian, an inn.

With a flash of the screen, Eve's consciousness returned to the guest room.

"Really, the simulated universe is still immature, yet Black Tower is so eager for me to test it."

Eve stood up and stretched. Just then, she noticed a small head peeking out of the bathroom door, watching her.

"Firefly, what are you doing? Didn't you say you were going to take a bath?" Eve looked over in confusion.

"Weren't you going to test the Black Tower?" Liu Ying puffed out her cheeks, looking quite angry.

"The tests are already finished. There was a problem with the Black Tower, so the simulated universe test was terminated."

"Huh? A simulated universe?" A few question marks popped up on Liuying's little head.

"It's a system developed by several geniuses in the Genius Club. You could also call it a game about the Star God. It's still in the testing phase, and they invited me to do some testing."

Seeing that Firefly didn't quite understand, Eve patiently explained.

"A game... Oh, so that's how it is. I thought..." Liu Ying's face flushed red instantly.

"What did you think?" Eve asked, puzzled.

"Nothing, nothing!" Liu Ying blushed, immediately pulled her head back, and closed the bathroom door tightly.

She rushed into the bathtub, submerged herself completely in the water, hugged her curled-up legs with both hands, and buried her head in her knees.

This is so embarrassing! I can't believe I even thought about that kind of thing... It's really...

As Liu Ying thought about it, her face grew redder and redder, and steam rose from her head.

......................

Changletian, a market.

"Uncle Yang! Look, look, look at that! It's so cute!"

In front of a stall selling small toys, March 7th grabbed Walter Young's clothes and jumped up excitedly.

"Then buy it. Send the invoice to Tianbo Company later." Walter Yang's tone was helpless but slightly indulgent.

There's no way around it; after all, he's the patriarch now.

On the other side, little Eve stood in front of a pastry shop, lingering for a long time.

Walter Young noticed and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"If you want to eat it, you don't need to worry about the cost."

“No.” Little Eve shook her head.

"I smell something bad."

"An ominous smell?"

As Walter Young approached, he was immediately hit by a pungent stench.

The taste was similar to the Stargazing Pie we had on the train before.

"This... okay." Walter Young covered his nose, then immediately understood.

But isn't this a pastry shop? Why does it taste like Stargazing Pie?

"By the way, where did Xing go?"

Walter Young looked around but couldn't find Xing.

"She's rummaging through the trash can," Little Eve said, her eyes glued to the screen.

Ugh, I really want to eat it, but it smells so awful!

"Go through the trash can?"

Walter Young frowned slightly, his gaze finally settling on the trash can on the left side of the road.

Half of Xing's body was visible outside the trash can, while the other half was frantically rummaging through it.

Beside the trash can, two Yunqi soldiers stood there holding Guan Dao (a type of halberd), looking utterly helpless.

"Please don't do this, tourist..."

"You can tell us if you have any difficulties."

Despite the Yunqi Army's earnest and persuasive advice, Xing remained unmoved.

"Sigh..." Seeing this scene, Walter Young sighed helplessly.

I have a feeling this team will be difficult to manage.

However, it's still better than doing unpaid manual labor for half a month last time.

"My benefactors!"

Suddenly, Tingyun's voice came.

"Phew, I've finally found you guys."

"Miss Tingyun?"

Walter Yang turned his head and saw Ting Yun panting heavily in the crowd.

"What's wrong, Miss Tingyun? Has your workshop identified where the sound came from?" Walter Yang asked, puzzled.

“No.” Tingyun shook her head.

“It will take time to determine the quality of the products, but Tianbo Company has received an invitation from Kafka.”

"What?" Suddenly, March 7th appeared from the side.

"Kafka actually sent an invitation to the Sky Ship Company? That's too outrageous!"

"The higher-ups said they want the Sky Piercer and the Diviner Fu Xuan to meet at the Starport," Ting Yun added.

"How arrogant!" March 7th angrily raised his fist.

"Why is this happening...?" Walter Young frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Little Eve also fell into deep thought.

He was clearly a wanted criminal on the Immortal Ship Luofu. Shouldn't he have gone into hiding and looked for an opportunity to leave the ship?

But now they've actually come to us on their own initiative, even inviting the captain of the Sky Ship Bureau and the diviner of the Grand Diviner Bureau to meet at the Star Harbor. That's really strange.

“My benefactors, there’s no need to worry. Lord Yu Kong said that this is most likely a smokescreen, a deliberate ruse by the Star Core Hunter,” Ting Yun continued.

"But just to be on the safe side, we still need you to go back to Xinggang to investigate."

"After all, the arrogance of the Star Core Hunters is well known, and we cannot afford to miss any clues."

Walter Young pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, I see."

"Then I'll trouble Miss Tingyun to lead the way."

"Okay." Tingyun nodded.

Just as the group was about to leave, March 7th suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Then, she immediately ran to the trash can and pulled the star out of it.

"Huh? What's wrong? Is it dawn?"

Xing, who had been pulled out, was still a little dazed, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"Hey, get up! We're going to track down the Star Core Hunters!" March 7 said, exasperated.

"Ah, the Star Core Hunters are here!"

The mention of Star Core Hunters energized Star.

Walter Young and Eve, standing some distance away, sighed helplessly.

As expected, leading a team isn't so easy...
