Chapter 286 The Grand Pinocchio Stage

After discussing the enhanced protective measures, Fu Le and the robin returned to the topic of Liumeng Reef itself.

"I never imagined there was such a place hidden in the shadow of the family."

The robin walked slowly to the handrail by the roadside, gazing at the uneven and staggered Liumengjiao Street, and couldn't help but sigh.

Having lived in Pinocchio since childhood, she had never known of the existence of Dream Reef.

She couldn't even imagine that Pinocchio would have such a place.

After all, the style here doesn't really suit Pinocchio.

But considering this was the watchmaker's secret hideout, the robin felt that was exactly right.

Do you like it here?

Fu Le asked a question he already knew the answer to.

"I really like it here, or rather, I really like the way people here treat dreams."

The robin turned around, leaned against the railing, and happily spoke to Fu Le.

"So you're not planning to go back for the time being?"

"Yes, I want to stay here and take a closer look at life here."

The robin nodded.

She had only been here for a short time, and her understanding of the place came mainly from what others had told her.

In addition, many residents here avoid her or even hate her, so the robin's understanding of Liumeng Reef is still insufficient.

The reason why some people avoid her or even hate her is because of her identity.

She is the younger sister of the head of the Oak family, one of the five major branches of the family.

Although Pinocchio was unaware of the Dream Reef incident.

But Liumengjiao knew a lot about Pinocchio.

Now, Robin has returned to Pinocchio as a renowned singer in the Milky Way and is about to perform for Hipper.

Her identity as Sunday had already been publicized to everyone at Pinocchio.

The people of Liumeng Reef naturally knew her identity.

As the saying goes, "love me, love my dog," and similarly, "hate me, love my dog."

Therefore, that hatred extended to the robin, which is why many people avoided her or even hated her.

However, many children don't care about these things.

They were especially happy to see the robin.

That's why Fu Le saw a group of children surrounding a robin when he first arrived.

"Since you like it, let's take a good look around here."

Fu Le grasped the robin's hand and said.

"Ok!"

The robin nodded upon hearing this.

So the two of them began to stroll around Liumeng Reef.

It must be said that the robin may have a talent for this, or perhaps she has done special research. She can easily defuse hostility towards her through language alone, and then gain a deeper understanding of the various stories in Dream Reef.

Through these stories, she also gained new insights into the history of Pinocene.

Similarly, this made her increasingly suspicious of the family's internal affairs.

There must be some secret behind this.

So where should we go next?

Fu Le thought to himself as he returned to the dream world of Pinocchio.

The robin has no immediate plans to return to Pinocene. He wants to learn as much as possible about the story of Dream Reef and find out who is behind Pinocene.

Although she already had some guesses in her mind, it was the dream master.

But that was just speculation, so the robin really wanted to find evidence to prove that the dreamer wasn't the mastermind behind it all.

After all, the dream master was considered her and Sunday's adoptive father.

Fu Le was sent by her to deliver a message on Sunday.

Let Sunday know that nothing happened to him, so he won't worry about you.

However, Fu Le did not intend to go to Sunday, since he had already informed Pinocchio of his future, and Sunday was well aware that the robin was not in danger.

Then why would he bother with all that trouble?

If Fu Le isn't going to look for Sunday, where is he going to go?

After thinking for a moment, Fu Le decided to go and talk to the Starry Sky Train.

After all, they're all in Pinocchio; how could they not meet?

Just as Fu Le was about to go find the Starry Sky Train, Sunday suddenly sent him a text message.

He wanted Fu Le to come to his place.

"Hey, where did you get my number? I didn't even want to contact you anymore, and you actually took the initiative to reach out to me?"

Looking at the text message sent on Sunday, Fu Le couldn't help but complain.

Despite his complaints, Fu Le didn't stop moving forward.

After receiving Sunday's text message, Fu Le immediately changed his destination and headed towards Sunday's residence.

Fu Le was genuinely curious about what he was supposed to do at this time of day on a Sunday.

Meanwhile, in the annex on Sunday.

At this moment, he was talking with Dr. Truth and Sand Gold.

Or rather, it's a competition of acting skills.

Just now, Dr. Truth betrayed Sandstone, exposing the two cornerstones to Sunday's eyes.

The appearance of these two cornerstones completely broke down the confidence of Sand Gold, to the point that he started cursing Dr. Truth.

Watching Sand Gold's explosive acting skills, Sunday couldn't help but applaud him in his heart.

After all, he already knew about the future from Fu Le.

Therefore, he was well aware that Sand Gold's performance at this moment was an act.

Sunday couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for this gambler who instinctively deceived himself.

After all, he already knew about the future of the gold mines and its past.

Sunday remains fresh in the memory of this madman who had staked his life on the gambling table.

So, as Sajin continued to express his desperate situation through words, Sunday walked to the gift bag on the table, opened it, and put his hand inside.

Upon seeing this, Dr. Truth's pupils involuntarily contracted.

He immediately realized that Sunday had likely seen through the gold mines' deception.

Although Sand Gold didn't say it explicitly, Dr. Truth had already guessed Sand Gold's method.

Dr. Truth and Sand Gold were very familiar with each other; he had already received a hint from Sand Gold when he communicated with him before.

They knew very well that the family did not welcome the company's arrival, so there was a high possibility that there were family spies in their rooms.

This made neither of them dare to speak frankly.

When Dr. Truth asked Sandalwood about his foundation, and Sandalwood replied, "It's just a few stones, why be so pessimistic?" Dr. Truth already understood Sandalwood's meaning.

A few stones?

Outsiders may not know, but Dr. Truth, a high-ranking member of the Erudite Society, is well aware of the preciousness and importance of the cornerstone.

Each member of the Stoneheart Ten only holds one cornerstone.

On their way to see Sunday, Sand Gold also hinted to Dr. Truth what to do through various words.

Especially the line, "Three chips are enough, all or nothing."

Therefore, Dr. Truth's sudden betrayal was also part of their plan.

When he saw that what was taken out of the gift bag was a jade stone, he understood everything. But at that moment, Sunday's sudden action made him nervous.

Gold placer is also becoming tense.

But his acting was superb, and he continued to reinforce his image as a gambler who was in dire straits and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

This sudden change did not shake him.

What alluvial gold excels at most is maintaining a calm mindset at all times.

But Sunday's next move still sent a chill down his spine.

The fragments of aventurine were taken out on Sunday.

"To try and get away with this, you actually shattered a foundation stone! You're really bold!"

On Sunday, he turned around and praised the gold.

Sand Gold remained silent, then gave a wry smile.

"Oh dear, I've really lost miserably this time!"

At this very moment, the gold dust is still finding joy amidst its suffering.

He even felt a sense of relief.

Although his scheme was exposed, he was affected by the harmonious power of Sunday and would soon 'die'.

At that point, the company can use this as a pretext to intervene in Pinocchio.

However, he himself had to sacrifice himself as the price.

Sand Gold had foreseen that he would fall to this state.

Although Sand Gold is often referred to as a lucky child, he is not actually very lucky.

His luck was more due to his ability, that relentless vitality.

Although Sand Gold always stakes his life on the gambling table, he is not prepared to die now, nor is he ready to see his parents and sister.

So when his life is wagered at the table, he will unleash amazing potential.

In his death throes, he always managed to unleash incredible power.

For Sand Gold, betting his life on the table was only the first step; his subsequent actions were the real key.

It wasn't that he was truly lucky; otherwise, he wouldn't have been fleeced by the stock market along with Toppa.

It's not that he's guaranteed to win if he bets his life on the table.

At the end of Pinocchio, Emerald once asked Gold Sands to guess Diamond's punishment for him, and Gold Sands bet his life that he would be promoted.

However, his merits and demerits outweighed his faults, and he was not expelled from the Stone Heart Ten, and regained his position as a cornerstone member.

This time she failed.

Because this time he only placed a bet, without unleashing his potential to struggle.

After all, truly lucky children don't have such a tragic past.

Just as Sand Gold was showing a dejected expression of accepting the status quo and constantly thinking about whether he had any other chips to turn things around, Sunday said: "I heard you're a lucky guy, and it's true. You're lucky again this time, gambler."

"I need to contact your boss. You should be able to help me get in touch, right?"

Sunday's aggressive questioning.

Just then, Fu Le suddenly appeared in the room, instantly attracting the attention of the other three people present.

"Oh, it seems I've come at the wrong time?"

Fu Le said jokingly.

"No, you came just in time."

He answered seriously on Sunday.

Upon hearing Sunday's answer, Fu Le was momentarily stunned.

Fu Le was so impressed by how smoothly he caught up with her joke that he even suspected that Fu Le was Wan Weike.

However, looking at Sunday's serious face, Fu Le felt that he must have just said those words by chance.

"Let's discuss this here. I hope to get your affirmative answer after we finish speaking."

On Sunday, after giving instructions to Sand Gold and Dr. Truth, he led Fu Le into a room further inside.

That's where Fu Le chatted with Sunday last time.

After sitting down, Fu Le asked Zhou Ri curiously, "What do you want with me?"

Fu Le had actually arrived long ago; he had been secretly watching the stage play that the three of them were performing on Sunday.

Knowing everything on Sunday, the performance of Sand Gold and Doctor Truth truly resembled a stage play.

Fu Le was surprised that Sunday had said everything would proceed as usual, but then changed his mind at this crucial moment, which made Fu Le even more curious about Sunday's attitude.

"I investigated that Star Core Hunter and found that you and she seem to have a very good relationship?"

In response to Fu Le's question, a new question was posed on Sunday.

Fu Le immediately realized that they should talk about fireflies on Sunday.

He had previously visited the Audi shopping center with Liuying, so it was normal for his family to see them there.

In the future that Fu Le saw on Sunday, there was also the figure of fireflies.

"My relationship with the Star Core Hunter is indeed quite good."

Fu Le responded.

"Can you help me stop them from attacking next?"

On Sunday, he made a pleading gesture, though it was subtle, Fu Le could tell.

"You need to tell me your plan first."

Fu Le did not answer Sunday, but instead put forward conditions first.

Seeing this, Sunday stopped trying to hide it, since he had no need to hide anything from Fu Le.

Thus, Fu Le learned of Sunday's plans.

On Sunday, I hoped to be in a more proactive position in the future.

Although he was aware of Pinocone's limitations, he was still dissatisfied with handing it over to Interstellar Peace Corporation.

After all, old Aude has already proven his incompetence in future negotiations.

With the support of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, Emerald's methods were utterly insignificant.

However, bringing the Interstellar Peace Corporation into Pinocene is necessary because Sunday will take away all the power of order, and it is the power of order that protects visitors from harm in Pinocene's dream world.

When the power of order dissipates, only the power of preservation can replace it.

This is also why Interstellar Peace Corporation had to move in.

In order to gain the upper hand in the future and to avoid making Robin owe the company a favor, he plans to talk to Interstellar Peace Company directly on Sunday.

He planned to first reach an agreement with the Interstellar Peace Company, and then have Sand Gold challenge Huang Quan according to the original storyline.

But this duel between the two will not go unnoticed; it will be broadcast live throughout Pinocchio.

At that time, Sand Gold will die in the eyes of everyone in the underworld.

He will then summon the messengers of the same harmony to fight against the Yellow Springs.

Ultimately, after a defeat, he faked his death and fled. The company also had sufficient reason to take over Pinocene by claiming that "a death occurred at Pinocene" or "a company executive died at Pinocene."

After success, let the gold dust appear to prove that death did not exist in Pinocchio's dream.

During the negotiation process, the dreamer will bring in more forces.

This is the general plan for Sunday.

"You're treating the Underworld like the Great Lord of Annihilation."

After hearing Sunday's plans, Fu Le couldn't help but complain.

But at the same time, he was drawn to Sunday's plans.

Fu Le couldn't help but want to get involved and make the scene even grander.
