Luffy then took out a card reader.
As soon as Black Tower's card was swiped on the card reader, the card reader immediately emitted a beeping alarm.
"Miss Black Tower, it seems like you don't have enough money on your card?"
Luffy held the card and looked at the Black Tower doll in front of him with a strange expression.
"No money?"
Upon hearing this, Black Tower looked somewhat bewildered.
It was only then that Black Tower remembered that he had bought a lot of equipment in the past two days for simulating the universe.
Then it seems my card was maxed out.
"Wait a moment!"
As he spoke, the black tower doll in front of Luffy remained motionless, as if it had lost its soul.
Shortly afterward, another Black Tower doll ran over.
He was also holding a large pile of cards in his hand.
"Why don't you try these?"
Looking at the various cards in the Black Tower doll's hand, Luffy had no choice but to try them one by one.
Without exception, every card beeped.
After trying all the cards, Luffy discovered that not a single one worked.
"Miss Black Tower, are you sure you can afford the final payment?"
Looking at the Black Tower doll in front of him, Luffy couldn't help but show a hint of doubt on his face.
"You haven't gone bankrupt, have you?"
"Bankrupt? How could that be? I'm just having a minor financial problem right now!"
Black Tower is certainly not short of money, but due to the simulated universe project she has been researching, she actually doesn't have much money right now.
This caused a hint of embarrassment to appear on Black Tower's face.
If it were at the Black Tower Space Station, it would be fine; I could have asked that little girl Estád to help me pay the bill.
But this is almost half the universe away from the Black Tower space station.
"How about I trade some of my research findings with you?"
Given Black Tower's arrogant nature, they would certainly be unwilling to show off their debts.
Therefore, they began bartering.
"Exchange? No problem!"
After all, it's something from the Genius Club #83 Black Tower; you could make a fortune selling it.
"Alright, you can take any research materials you want from that room!"
The Black Tower doll pointed to a room to the side and said.
The research materials in that room were basically things that Black Tower had casually jotted down.
But even something written so casually might be impossible for someone to decipher in their entire life.
"Miss Black Tower, is there anything else? We can't understand your research materials either."
Let alone Luffy not understanding it, even if you showed it to some people outside, they wouldn't understand it.
If people think it's just random writing, how will Luffy make money?
So you mortals!
The Black Tower doll showed a hint of pity in response.
Then, out of nowhere, he pulled out a huge hammer.
"How about this hammer? It's one of my masterpieces. It can create diamonds with a single strike!"
The black tower doll in front of them even thoughtfully gave a demonstration for the two of them.
She tapped the ground lightly, and instantly a huge diamond appeared in front of the two of them.
"How about that? Pretty impressive, right?"
Black Tower looked at Luffy and the other two, as if trying to see a look of shock on their faces.
But at that moment, a gold brick suddenly appeared out of nowhere in Luffy's hand.
After scanning by the Black Tower doll, the Black Tower was shocked to discover that the gold brick in Luffy's hand was actually pure gold!
And it's 100% pure gold.
Although with the current technology of Star Iron, it is not impossible to manufacture 100% pure gold.
But that would require a lot of money and materials.
This 100% pure gold is an extremely rare and precious resource even in the universe. (II.1) [Unintelligible text - likely a typo or incomplete sentence]
In fact, the Black Tower purchased several tons of pure gold because of its simulated universe project.
But seeing Luffy casually create a pure gold brick, Black Tower couldn't help but take notice.
"how did you do it?"
"Is this so difficult?"
After all, Luffy could create and manipulate gold at will after eating the Gold-Gold Fruit.
As he spoke, Luffy produced several more pure gold bricks in his hand.
Even the Black Tower was stunned by this scene.
"So, are there any others? I'm actually not too keen on your synthetic diamond!"
Luffy glanced at the giant hammer in Black Tower's hand and couldn't help but show a hint of disgust.
If the Diamond-Diamond Fruit could turn one's body into diamond, Luffy would definitely eat another one.
"Are you selling this pure gold?"
At this moment, Black Tower also asked Luffy curiously.
Although she bought a lot of pure gold, it was not enough at all.
This pure gold could probably be consumed in just two or three days.
In fact, Black Tower has already consumed almost half of the pure gold it just bought.
When faced with Black Tower's purchase request, Luffy showed a hint of hesitation.
"If you want to buy it, I'm definitely willing to sell it to you, but do you have the money to buy it?"
After all, Black Tower hasn't paid the final payment yet!
Who do you think you are?!
Upon hearing this, Black Tower was enraged!
As a world-renowned genius, Black Tower has never suffered such an injustice.
The fact that someone thought he wouldn't have money to buy things made Black Tower laugh in exasperation.
Then Black Tower pointed at Luffy without any politeness and said...
"I have whatever you want, and even if I don't have it here, I can get it for you within half a day!"
This is the source of Black Tower's confidence as a genius.
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Seeing that Black Tower agreed, Luffy had also figured out what he wanted.
After all, Luffy planned to create a few Homies to help him after eating the Soul-Soul Fruit.
Furthermore, he possesses the abilities of both the Glint-Glint Fruit and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Creating a few Zeus-like figures based on the original story shouldn't be a problem.
However, now that the Black Tower had agreed to his request, Luffy suddenly had a bold idea.
"Could you give me a few of your dolls?"
Volume 1: Chapter 244 Becoming a Father
Upon hearing Luffy's request, both Black Tower and Bronya cast surprised glances at him.
Bronya, in particular, pinched Luffy's soft flesh hard at the waist.
She's still here, what are you saying!
Black Tower crossed his arms and addressed Luffy.
"Let me warn you, my doll doesn't have that kind of function!"
"What function?"
"of course……"
At this point, Black Tower paused, then cast a fierce glare at Luffy.
This whole thing makes it seem like she's the one who's impure, like she's the one who's involved in the Black Tower.
Luffy also offered an explanation for this.
"I just want a doll to help me with chores in the future. As long as it's a doll, even if it's unfinished, it's fine!"
After all, it's a doll made by the Black Tower, so its functionality definitely surpasses that of 99% of the dolls in the world.
Then I can really relax and let the puppet do everything.
"Fine, if you want one, I'll give you one!"
It's just a doll; there are countless dolls inside the Black Tower.
I don't really care whether there's one more or one less Black Tower.
Besides, when he created the puppets, he didn't include that function. Black Tower wasn't worried about Luffy doing anything to his puppets.
Of course, if Luffy can do this even with a puppet, then the Black Tower has nothing to say!
As he spoke, he pointed to the black tower doll that had been talking to Luffy earlier.
"If you like it, that's yours! Of course, in return, you'll have to give me five tons of pure gold!"
It's not that Black Tower wanted to trick Luffy. Although it was just a puppet, it didn't mean that Black Tower didn't care about it.
Each Black Tower puppet consumed a large amount of precious materials, in addition to the Black Tower's own technology.
After conversion, five tons of pure gold is already considered very cheap.
Moreover, what Black Tower gave to Luffy was her latest completed Black Tower doll, and she also liked to add little trinkets to each of her Black Tower dolls.
Therefore, the doll that Black Tower sent out can definitely be considered Black Tower's highest level.
"Five tons? No problem!"
Five tons of pure gold is a piece of cake for Luffy.
Using the power of the Gold-Gold Fruit, five tons of pure gold were quickly piled up in front of the Black Tower.
Sometimes I really want to know what kind of species you are!
Seeing Luffy create so much pure gold out of thin air, Black Tower once again had the idea of studying Luffy.
At this moment, Black Tower was in a great mood.
Having obtained so much pure gold all at once, he no longer lacked materials for his experiments.
Even if they need it again in the future, Black Tower can easily get it from Luffy.
"By the way, this doll doesn't have an intelligent management system installed yet. I can help install one!"
Without an intelligent system, the black tower puppet in front of us would just be a motionless puppet.
