When the man and woman rushed towards them, Xing He did not immediately make a move. Instead, he subconsciously opened the mini-map and glanced at the girl and the man and woman's markers.

[Star Core Hunter - Firefly (Sam)]

[Hound Family Lineage - Passerby A]

[Hound Family Lineage - Passerby B]

Star Core Hunter?

Xing He was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected to encounter another Star Core Hunter here. What surprised him even more was that the Star Core Hunter was asking him for help.

While Xing He was pondering, the two members of the hound gang rushed up to him, grabbed their batons, and were about to smash them against his shoulders.

The robin was horrified and hurriedly cried out to stop him: "Stop!"

Liu Ying, standing to the side, immediately pulled out her voice changer from her bosom. A verdant outline quickly spread across her entire body, and she could transform instantly with just a thought.

To the two women's surprise, Xing He did not defend himself against the attack from the two members of the Hound, nor did he even think of dodging. Instead, he took the initiative to bring his head closer.

The two hound members were also startled by Xing He's unusual behavior and hurriedly changed their target, tapping Xing He's shoulder again.

Because of Xing He's sudden action, Liu Ying had no time to help block the attacks of the two hound members. Her eyes narrowed, and a cold aura began to emanate from her entire body.

However, to everyone's surprise, when the batons swung by the two hound members struck Xing He's shoulder, they seemed to hit some slippery, invisible barrier and slid away.

"What the hell is this?!"

Chapter 175 The Golden Moment of Complete Assimilation

The male hound member looked at the baton in his hand in a daze, then looked up at Xing He who was unharmed, and then gently tapped his arm with the baton.

"hiss!"

A sharp pain shot through his arm and into his brain, meaning the baton in his hand was definitely not a fake! That meant it was Xing He's problem!

"Who are you! That person is a wanted criminal we've been pursuing. Mind your own business!"

The completely ineffective attacks made him begin to suspect that Xing He in front of him might be a master, and his attitude softened.

Xing He smiled and pointed at Liu Ying, then asked the two members of the Hound team in front of him, "I also have something to ask her, could you do me a favor?"

"Sorry, no!"

The man decisively rejected Xing He's suggestion. This was Pinocchio, and even if Xing He was a master, he still had to follow Pinocchio's rules!

"This is not a request, but an announcement."

Xing He slowly walked up to the man, and the two members of the hunting dog team immediately tensed up.

Xing He reached out to the man and gently pushed him in the chest. Suddenly, the man crashed into the building behind him with a sonic boom, smashing through the walls and creating a human-shaped hole.

The female hound member stared blankly at the smoke-filled building, her mind buzzing incessantly, even the alarm on her waist was beeping incessantly, reminding her that her partner had been forcibly awakened from her dream due to unforeseen circumstances.

Xing He glanced at his hand with some surprise. He had tried his best to hold back, hoping to discourage the two members of the hound family. He didn't expect that with such a gentle push, the man would fly out.

However, upon closer examination, Xing He realized that it was indeed true. In creative mode, he could pull out various blocks at any time. Clearly, under the influence of the Star Core Blessing, his physical strength had been enhanced to an infinite degree. Even if he restrained himself, it was still something that ordinary people could not withstand.

It's fortunate that this is a dream world, otherwise that person would probably have exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Xing He looked at the female hound members who were standing there dumbfounded with a hint of apology.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself, but he should be alright, right?"

The female hound members stood there dumbfounded, holding their batons and pointing at Xing He. They couldn't utter a single word for a long time, just standing there watching him.

Xing He could see that her eyes were dull and lifeless, clearly she had been frightened by what had just happened and probably hadn't recovered yet.

Xing He shook his head, deciding not to pay any more attention to the guy, and turned to look at the robin and the firefly.

"let's go."

Robin and Firefly covered their ears in discomfort. The sonic boom from Xing He's casual strike was still causing them tinnitus. It was only in the dream world that they were experiencing this; in reality, their eardrums would probably have ruptured.

Seeing that the two women didn't react, Xing He was about to walk over and express his meaning to them in sign language when he heard the clinking sound of a flip-top lighter being lit behind him.

"Sir, could you please stay and have a chat?"

Xing He turned around and saw a man with brown hair, a gray vest, and a stubble beard walking towards him, playing with a silver-white lighter in his hand.

Gallagher stopped five meters in front of Xing He, put away his lighter, and gave him a very polite bow.

"Sheriff Gallagher of the Hound Family, I have a case that concerns you, sir, but it seems..."

Gallagher glanced at the building still shrouded in smoke and dust, his eyebrows twitching slightly, but he still forced himself to remain calm and turned back with a smile on his lips.

"You've added another case to your list of charges for assaulting law enforcement officers."

Xing He glanced at Galah with a strange expression, then looked back at the symbol representing him on the minimap.

"Are you sure you're the Hound family's sheriff? A fictional historian... Is this the official title for the Hound family's security personnel?"

Upon hearing the words "fictional historian" uttered by Xing He, Gallagher's eyebrows twitched violently.

No, man!

Why did they expose his secrets right from the start?

His current body is constructed from 'lies', and once someone sees through these lies, his body will begin to collapse.

Now that Xing He has exposed his lie, it's probably only a matter of time before his body collapses.

Gallagher squinted and stared at Xing He. This was the first time he had met someone he couldn't see through at all. On the contrary, the other party was practically able to tell him the color of his underwear.

"It seems you are more than just an anonymous guest, Mr. Xing He."

Xing He raised an eyebrow. This was the first time he had encountered a fictional historian. According to rumors, these kinds of people were all mysterious and that no word they uttered could be trusted.

The man in front of him, Gallagher, knew his identity and was clearly there for him.

"Just say what you have to say, I have plans tonight."

Gallagher glanced at the two beauties beside Xing He and chuckled.

“Indeed, with a beauty by my side, this old dog of mine seems a bit superfluous. Mr. Xing He, I came to you to convey a message: the waters of Pinocchio run deep. Find [the Watchmaker] and you will know the whole truth.”

After hearing his words, Xing He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on: "Why does everyone like to play the riddle? Can't you just give us a spoiler?"

Gallagher shook his head, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the raven that had been perched atop a streetlamp, staring in their direction.

"That's all I have to say. I don't have much time left, Mr. Xing He. I won't disturb your date any longer. This old dog is better off having a chat with his prey about life. Goodbye."

Gallagher turned to leave when suddenly a patch of green stretched out from afar. The green spread so quickly that it reached Gallagher's feet in just a few breaths.

Gallagher glanced down at the grass cube he had seen just a few minutes ago, his brow furrowing slightly before he quickened his pace and left.

His intuition told him that if he didn't leave now, he might never be able to leave again.

Xing He also looked on in astonishment at the grass blocks that were gradually spreading from a distance. Wherever this greenery passed, the bright neon lights and streetlights went out one after another, and the entire street was plunged into unprecedented darkness.

It wasn't just the ground that was being assimilated; Xing He also noticed that the surrounding shops, houses, and other buildings had all been assimilated into the shape of a village in Minecraft, albeit at different heights.

"Hey, I had no idea that creating a creative mode would have such cool effects."

Chapter 176 Gold Placer: What? Director Xing He is dead?! Yay!

Looking at the ground and buildings around them being assimilated, the robin felt a sudden fear for no reason and grabbed Xing He's arm, urging him on.

"Mr. Xing He, I have a feeling something's not right. Shall we leave here quickly?"

Although Xing He was very curious about why this was happening in the dream world, he was currently accompanied by two "burdens," so it wasn't the best time to investigate. He could only nod and quickly leave with Robin and Firefly.

The female hound member who was left behind was suddenly awakened by a distant howl, and she turned to look at the street that had been assimilated.

On that dimly lit street, several pairs of scarlet eyes opened, followed by a dense rustling sound rapidly approaching.

Seven or eight spiders, each a meter long and half a meter tall, swarmed towards her with rustling sounds.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

————————————————————————————

In a conference room at the Chaolu Mansion, Sand Gold sat idly in a chair with his legs crossed, flipping a gleaming gold chip nimbly between his fingers. He glanced at Dr. Zhenli sitting opposite him, who was studying a small notebook intently, and couldn't help but ask.

"Professor, are you sure you've really reached an agreement with Mr. Sunday? Fifteen minutes have passed already. Is Mr. Sunday trying to avoid seeing me?"

"As a gambler, don't you even have this much patience? I really don't know how you've won so much. Looking at your impatient appearance now, you should have lost everything long ago."

Doctor Truth remained looking down at the notebook in his hand, which was filled with diagrams of the wire-grinding machine and the rail-grinding machine. Interspersed among them were several fragments brought out from the wizard tower in Duskwood. These were obtained by him and two other members of the Genius Club after killing a book monster that could move freely. However, he couldn't understand a single word on them.

Perhaps, deciphering the contents of this text will allow him to understand Mr. Xing He better.

Dr. Truth's sharp remark didn't shut Sand Gold up; instead, it piqued his interest: "Oh? Professor, are you interested in my previous bet? Would you like me to tell you about the past to pass the time?"

Sand Gold's incessant chatter successfully provoked Dr. Truth's anger. He slammed his notebook shut and calmly turned to glare at Sand Gold.

"Damn gambler, can't you just shut your mouth?"

After being yelled at by Dr. Truth, Sand Gold shrank back somewhat aggrievedly and raised his hands in surrender: "Alright, alright, it seems you're not interested in my story."

With Sand Gold silent, the conference room fell quiet again, allowing Dr. Truth to continue studying his notes and writing down his conclusions.

However, this silence didn't last long before the conference room door clicked open.

Dr. Truth sighed helplessly and closed his notebook again: "It seems today is not a good day for academic research."

Both he and Sandstone immediately stood up and turned around to look after hearing the conference room door open.

On Sunday, he walked in with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. The door to the conference room was then closed by a servant.

"Your Excellencies, we apologize for keeping you waiting. There was a slight incident on the way, but we hope it won't affect our upcoming discussions."

Sand Gold smiled, removed his hat, and bowed: "Don't worry, Mr. Sunday, businessmen always have plenty of patience."

As he said this, Dr. Truth on the other side glanced at him as if he were a fraud, wondering who was so bored as to insist on bringing up some past events with him.

"Please have a seat, gentlemen."

On Sunday, he invited the two men to sit down, and then took the seat of honor himself. Just as he was about to ask the two men what they had invited him to discuss, the two men spoke first.

"Before we get to those mundane business matters, I'm curious what exactly got Mr. Sunday so late by a full fifteen minutes. According to what I've heard from others, Mr. Sunday isn't someone who's always late; he's always very punctual. Could it be that he's encountered some difficulties and needs the company's help?"

On Sunday, he couldn't help but squint. This flamboyant fellow in front of him was called Sand Gold, right?

Ha, they've made their intentions crystal clear right from the start. They just want to find an opportunity to interfere in Pinocchio's affairs.
