They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 289 Pinocchio Hotel Refuses to Check In?

Clara's final meeting with Zhige was quite touching. Although they had only spent half a year together, Clara had already come to regard Zhige as her new family.

Of course, Danlei watched the whole process knowing that it would have a happy ending.

So the whole time I felt that the little girl's tears were really delicious.

It's like the kind of joy I felt in my past life watching streamers play Honkai Impact 3rd and cry my eyes out, like I was a ship's accomplice.

At this moment, Danlei truly felt the joy that came from the sadness of others.

So much so that Aha, who was already on Avalon, glanced at Danlei, then possessed the mask and ran out, laughing loudly.
"Haha, Danlei, you've finally figured it out."

You can't refuse this time, it's the rule of fate!

Dan Lei has now been "forced" to become a Joyful Fate Walker, and his starting point is very high, directly surpassing the Protection Fate and reaching a level close to the Balanced Fate.

Danlei glanced helplessly at [Aha] at this result and complained.

"Is such distorted pleasure still pleasure?"

【Aha】explained this quite seriously.

"Without malice, with blessings in mind, yet laughing at the sorrows of others."

The tears shed now will ultimately bring joy and redemption in the future; this is one of the highest forms of pleasure.

Dan Lei was speechless at the explanation of 【Aha】, because how many of these ship accomplices didn't shed tears themselves before becoming accomplices to others, and in the end, they would be hurt in return?

To put it bluntly, the essence of this behavior is still to relive the beauty and redemption that one once felt.

Danlei and [Aha] didn't hide their conversation from Clara, but the clever girl realized something, and with tears in her eyes, she looked up and asked...

“Mr. Danlei, Mr. [Aha], are you saying that if I keep crying, I will laugh in the future? Clara doesn’t understand.”

Clara's question really embarrassed Danlei, since it was a little unethical to openly support someone.

However, [Aha] was very friendly to the little girl who almost became his envoy, and said frankly...

"Clara, this is what growing up is like. Maybe you'll want to be my messenger in the future."

As soon as "Aha" finished speaking, Danlei shoved him away and said with disgust.
"Stop it, don't corrupt the children."

Don't you know what the Masked Fool's reputation is like in the universe?
While there's nothing wrong with a life of pleasure, the fact that the main person on this path that creates happiness now dislikes you is entirely your problem.

Danlei's accusations [Aha] didn't care. There were all sorts of people among the Masked Fools, and quite a few of them felt that pleasure needed boundaries.

Seeing that [Aha] neither argued nor left, Danlei decided it was better to ignore him.

So Danlei turned to Zhige and said...
"Stop fighting, it's almost time. You should be sent to the formatting program and resealed."

Zhige knew that his last meeting with Clara was actually to take care of him.

So he obediently put Clara down and stood up to indicate that he was ready.

Seeing this, Dan Lei reached out and extracted Zhi Ge's core from his body, then said to Clara...
"Clara, wait for me here for a moment."

By the way, don't believe anything [Aha] says. His only reliable trait is his unreliability.

After saying that, Dan Lei went out first and handed the Zhige core to the judges of the Ten Kings of Avalon. They would be responsible for formatting and resealing the core's memories, and then send someone to return the core and Zhige's original head to where it belonged.

The process was quick and easy; Danlei returned to the interrogation room a few minutes later.

Then, Dan Lei made a move against Clara.

"Clara, Zhige entrusted me to leave you a gift. Hold my hand, and I'll take you to collect it."

Upon hearing that it was something left behind by Zhige, Clara didn't hesitate and immediately grabbed Danlei's hands. Her attempt to hold back her tears instantly gave Danlei the urge to raise a daughter in the future.

He suggested that they go back and discuss the issue with Ruan Mei and Heita again.

Well, Danlei's body is still on its last legs, so she can't have children for the time being.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the universe, Ruan Mei was looking at Dan Lei's detailed information on her computer, murmuring to herself...
"Dissecting memory, adjusting balance, deconstructing purity, and recreating immortality—we're getting closer and closer."

But is it still lacking in pure beauty?

At this point, Ruan Mei suddenly sneezed, then said helplessly.

"It seems a bit difficult to ask Danlei to comprehend pure beauty. Let's find something else to replace it."

Then, Ruan Mei turned off her computer and prepared to check on the recovery of the girl who had miraculously survived the destruction.

The scene shifts back to Danlei. After Clara grabs Danlei's hand, Danlei teleports her directly to his workshop in Avalon City.

Of course, [Aha] followed along; he wouldn't miss the touching scene that was about to unfold.

Upon entering Danlei's workshop, a metal giant over two meters tall with wild hair and an explosively muscular physique immediately came into view.

Yes, although Danlei's metal bionic technology is very sophisticated, the two people he brought could tell at a glance that it was a robot, or rather, a metal puppet.

At this moment, Dan Lei took out the memories he had copied from Zhi Ge and said to Clara...
"Clara, these are all the memories of the past six months that Zhige has spent with you."

It knew that its memories would be formatted and its core would be sealed again.

So, it allowed me to recreate it from my memories to protect you.

Danlei lied here, but he didn't lie completely.

Although the suggestion was made by himself, Zhige did want to use another version of himself to protect Clara.

Upon hearing this, Clara asked with delight.

"Mr. Danlei, do you mean Mr. Zhige is still alive?"

Regarding this question, Dan Lei analyzed it very seriously.

"It depends on how you interpret the death of omnics."

My current action is equivalent to transferring the memory data of an android from one individual to another.

As far as the machine itself is concerned, that means even the memory core has been completely replaced.

But the data and memories from the past six months have not been damaged.

Of course, this memory only contains the content from the past six months or so and some basic common sense; there is no other technical information whatsoever.

Upon hearing Danlei's words, Clara immediately smiled and expressed her gratitude.
"Thank you, Mr. Danlei. Thank you for being willing to save Mr. Zhige."

Clara didn't care about the memory transfer at all.

Because she mistook memory transfer for data transfer.

For machinery, is transfer point data even a big deal?

While repairing various small robots in the Mechanical Tribe, she often used discarded cores from other robots to repair robots that still retained their memory functions.

To use an imperfect analogy, one day in the future, Schwarzkopf's body will reach its limit and he will be ready to get a brand new body, with a new core.

At this point, Clara no longer recognized Schwarzkopf?

It's important to understand that if a human can completely replace their body, then an artificial machine can too. As for memory and data, they are not actually the same thing, and Dan Lei stated that Clara didn't need to understand that clearly.

Anyway, all I need to do is give her back Zhige, no, Basaka, who has all the memories of spending time with her.

Seeing that Clara really didn't mind, Danlei integrated this memory into the core of the imaginary energy magic puppet he had created overnight.

Then, Danlei used his creative power to give life to this core.

Dan Lei deliberately didn't treat Barsaka as a whole and give it life, because this thing definitely doesn't come with a warranty, so he wanted to leave room for Clara to replace parts for him in the future.

As the core activated, Basaka's eyes quickly lit up.

Upon waking, his first instinct wasn't to thank Danlei, the creator who brought him to life. Instead, he knelt down in front of Clara and, using the same generator as Zhige's (the one Clara got from the machine armor, not the one Zhige himself used), he stammered as he spoke.
"K-zzzz-la-la-"

Dan Lei quickly explained the situation.
"This is a phenomenon where the core has just been activated and has not yet fully adapted to the body parts."

The core will then quickly adapt to the body; it will only take a few tens of seconds.

Clara naturally understood that the machine needed compatible parts to start up for the first time, so she gently touched Basaka's forehead with her little hand and said...

"Mr. Zhige, don't worry, Clara won't run away. In the future, I will take you to meet Clara's other family members, and you will definitely get along well."

At this moment, Clara was unaware that Schwarz, in the lower city of Arilo VI, was experiencing several inexplicable overheating episodes as he watched Clara compete as a team with a new mechanical partner.

So much so that later on, I had to go to the outskirts of Belleburg and turn the machine's cooling system to its maximum before I could continue watching the live stream.

Of course, the fact that Schwarz and Danley have already awakened to jealousy is irrelevant here.

Danlei and Aha were enjoying the feeling of being moved as they watched the scene unfold before them.

However, after being moved, Danlei still spoke up to remind him.
"Clara, Zhige has been resealed. To avoid disputes, the new machine I created using its memories can no longer use this name."

I named this big guy Basaka.

This will be registered as a robot I personally gifted to you.

Clara was very sensible; she knew that if the robot in front of her kept calling for Zhige, it would cause trouble for Danlei, so she sweetly replied...
“Mr. Danlei, I understand. Clara won’t call it by the wrong name later.”

After saying that, Clara turned to Basaka and said again.

"Mr. Basaka, please take care of me in the future."

Clara's words instantly made Basaka adapt, skillfully picking her up, placing her on his shoulder, and then saying to Dan Lei...
"grateful."

Seeing that Basaka had finished activating, Danlei waved to indicate that everything was fine, then said to [Aha] beside him.

"【Aha】, when are you going to send the people you brought back? You can't just be responsible for bringing them back and not for sending them back."

The distance from Beloberg, where Clara lives, can no longer be described as far as Avalon.

The others were in similar situations; we couldn't possibly send them all back using the Star Train.

[Aha] didn't make things difficult for Danlei on this issue, and answered directly.

"Oh, I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it."

In light of the event's resounding success and the countless laughs it brought to the universe, I can send all the contestants back home.

However, if they don't want to, I will still leave them on this planet.

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately understood what [Aha] was thinking.

[Aha] clearly hasn't had enough fun yet; many of the people he recruited are still preaching on Avalon, and they haven't exhausted their enjoyment.

Moreover, how could a prisoner like Hu Lei possibly want to return to Luofu Prison?

You must know that he was a serious criminal who was explicitly sentenced to the punishment of being imprisoned under the sword tree.

Since the newly built prison on Avalon didn't include this package, it simply imprisoned him without providing food or water.

Staying here is much more comfortable than the Luofu Prison.

So, since Aha is going back voluntarily, only a few people like Clara and Hook who want to go back will actually do so.

Most people won't leave.

However, Danlei didn't dwell on [Aha]'s actions; he simply sent Clara, who wanted to leave, back home.

For others, the worst-case scenario is simply following the Xianzhou Alliance's tourism policy; once their travel period is over, they can be deported directly.

Anyway, the interplanetary peace company has already established a cargo route with Avalon, and they can return to the inner universe via the company's ships.

With that, Clara's matter was considered closed. Dan Lei planned to wait for [Aha] to send her back before discussing with Himeko about returning to the inner universe together.

However, Danlei and Jizi had the same idea.

[Aha] Not long after sending the person back, Himeko came to say goodbye to Danlei, saying that the expedition had come to a successful conclusion and the train crew would be embarking on their journey again as planned.

Then, she received another request from Danlei to accompany her.

Himeko was not surprised at all by Danlei's request, and simply smiled as she replied.

"The train crew will not refuse a friend's request to travel together. We will depart once you are ready."

Seeing that Ji Zi agreed, Dan Lei had Yu Kong book a room at the Pinocchio Hotel through Luo Fu's channels, indicating that he wanted to attend the Harmonious Music Ceremony.

Then, just one day later, Pinocchio received a polite reply that the hotel was fully booked.

Danlei was very surprised by this reply.

Pinocchio, as the star of the event, should be welcoming visitors from all corners of the universe who have no history of wrongdoing.

Dan Lei's current status makes it even more impossible for him to refuse.

Refusing Dan Lei entry is a classic case of protesting too much.

Other forces in the universe would definitely suspect that Pinocchio has something to do with it, otherwise why would they refuse entry to Dan Lei, who has money and power and is someone the whole universe wants to curry favor with?

Therefore, Pinocchio dared not refuse entry and could only politely decline with the lame excuse that there were no hotel rooms available.

However, Danlei said that this was not something that someone who still believed in order would do on Sunday; it was most likely a trick by Gopher.

So, Danlei decided to launch a surprise attack.

To put it bluntly, Danlei really did arrive at the Pinocchio Hotel, indicating that he was going to throw caution to the wind and cause a scene, leaving Sunday and the others with no choice but to compromise.

Because they knew that something like an infinite number of officers could not threaten Dan Lei.

After all, Dan Lei was an extremely ruthless person who dared to raise his sword and demand that Feng Rao [Pharmacist] leave.

　There will be a version update tomorrow, so as usual, there will be one update.

　　I hope there won't be any backstabbing content about me in the Foehn Wind or Light's Passage sections.

　　Thank you Si Xiangyu for the 500 Qidian Coins reward.
