Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 11 The Origin of the Stars

"What do you mean? What do you mean I'm the same person as her?"

Lin Qiong was a little confused by what Hei Ta said. Did geniuses all like to say strange things?

“I know you’re confused, but I’m just saying it literally.”

In the eyes of the Black Tower, the life wavelength emanating from Lin Qiong's body completely overlapped with that of the stars.

Just as you can't find two identical leaves in nature, you can't find two organisms in the universe with the exact same wavelength.

Every living organism is very different from birth, due to factors such as physique, sex, skin, musculoskeletal system, respiratory and circulatory systems.

All of these factors affect the strength of the life wavelength, and even the life wavelength between a clone and the original person can be very different.

"Same origin twins, I don't know if you've ever heard of them."

"Originally, only one life form would be born from each origin, but due to certain factors, life forms born from the same origin will have the same life wavelength."

Hei Ta crossed his arms and spoke to Lin Qiong and Xing.

Lin Qiong understood now. In the original game, once you chose the protagonist's gender, the other gender would completely disappear.

These two entities are actually one person, but the game provides players with the opportunity to choose the gender.

He had accidentally traveled to this world and taken over another body that was about to disappear.

That's why Black Tower said he and Star were the same person.

What Lin Qiong found even more intriguing was how Kafka and Silver Wolf managed to divide a single origin into two star core carriers, Star and Qiong.

Could it really just be due to the game's settings? Just as Lin Qiong was thinking this.

Black Tower's sudden voice pulled Lin Qiong out of his thoughts.

“Since you two share the same life wavelength, she can confine a ‘stellar core’ within her body.”

"I'm curious if it's possible to confine a 'stellar core' within your body as well."

Upon hearing that Hei Ta also wanted to try installing a "star core" inside his body, Lin Qiong quickly shook his head.

"No, no, no, I don't want to have an unstable time bomb inside my body, especially one that could blow up the whole planet."

Upon hearing Lin Qiong say that the power of the "Star Core" explosion could blow the entire planet away, Xing nervously touched his body.

After all, not long ago, she almost exploded after taking a direct hit from the Doomsday Beast.

If Walter Young hadn't intervened, the entire space station might already be space junk.

"Don't be nervous. Under normal circumstances, your 'Star Core' won't explode. It will only be activated when you are near death."

Black Tower noticed that Star was worried about suddenly exploding and comforted her.

Hearing Black Tower say that the "Star Core" would only explode when he was about to die, Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Um... Black Tower, I wanted to ask you something..."

Just as Lin Qiong was about to ask what the origin was, the Black Tower suddenly interrupted him:

“I know you still want to ask me questions about the origin, but that’s not my area of ​​expertise.”

“If you really want to learn about the origin, you can go to 81—Nguyen Mai, who is also a member of the Genius Club.”

"She is an expert in the field of life sciences, and my understanding of the origin comes from her."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong pictured a beautiful woman in a blue and white cheongsam with a slit, exuding traditional Chinese style.

Right, even the brooding envoy Ruan Meilian, once known as the nightmare of all realms, could make it reappear for 60 seconds. She must be able to tell me what the origin is.

It might even answer the question of why I ended up in this body.

Thinking this, Lin Qiong hurriedly asked the Black Tower:

"Do you know where Ruan Mei is now, Black Tower?"

Black Tower shook his head and said:

"Ruan Mei's whereabouts are unpredictable, and no one knows where she might be."

"She might even travel to planets where she can't receive signals to study the nature of 'life.'"

Just as Lin Qiong was about to ask something else, Black Tower spoke first:

"Alright, I've answered most of the questions. Now it's time to tell you what we invited you here for."

"The main purpose of inviting you here is to have you participate in a test."

Then Black Tower began to introduce the huge machine beside him—the "Simulated Universe".

This is an immersive simulation system jointly developed by Black Tower, Screw Gum, Ruan Mei, and Stephen.

Participants can use this system to role-play as a star god and explore the boundaries of the universe and various worlds.

And if certain conditions are met, there is a chance to meet the star gods of various destinies inside.

"And what you need to do is help me test whether I can encounter the Celestial God in the Alpha beta version."

"I'll tell you the specific things to pay attention to inside. Come over here and stand in front of me to try it out."

Black Tower pointed to the disc-like area in front of the huge machine and said.

"Are there any rewards for participating in the test? We can't just test for you for free, right, Xing?"

Lin Qiong gave Xing a look, and Xing immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, there's a reward to motivate people to participate."

Watching Lin Qiong and Xing Yan's charade, Hei Ta sighed.

"Alright, tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"

"Just give each of us a cell phone and some credits."

Lin Qiong recalled that Ji Zi had previously sent the location of the Black Tower office to March 7's phone, and then asked March 7 to bring them over.

Although Lin Qiong knew how to get to the Black Tower office without needing navigation, everyone else had a cell phone, so how could he not?

After stating the reward he wanted, Lin Qiong asked Xing for her opinion:

"Xing, what do you think?"

"Hmm...we'll do it your way."

Xing agreed to the reward Lin Qiong proposed, as she also really wanted a mobile phone.

"Is that all you ask for? Fine, I have more credits than I can spend, they're just a string of numbers to me."

"After the test is over, go find Estella and just tell her that I sent you."

"Then, on top of these, I will personally add another light cone as a reward for you."

As he spoke, Black Tower took out a light cone with a red sphere printed on it and waved it in his hand. Lin Qiong immediately recognized it as the God of Gods among the free light cones—"Record of the Fall of a Star God".

"Alright, I've agreed to give you the reward, so hurry up and stand up here."

After saying that, Hei Ta gestured for Lin Qiong and Xing to stand on the disc in front of the machine next to him.

Having received the promise from the Black Tower, Lin Qiong then took Xing and stood at the location indicated by the Black Tower.

As the Black Tower activated its machine, Lin Qiong felt the scenery around him spin, and then he found himself in complete darkness.

At that moment, the Black Tower's voice came:

"Don't be nervous, this is the machine reading your brainwaves and automatically matching you to the environment of the immersive simulation system..."

Before Heita finished speaking, Lin Qiong and Xing felt their surroundings become blurry, and their consciousness began to waver.
