Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Zhenzhu took the initiative to invite Cheng Xiao and Bai Heng to meet at the Zhuxing Building.

To be honest, Zhenzhu hasn't been in contact with them for a long time.

We had a brief phone call recently, when we were dealing with placer gold.

Upon learning that the Starry Sky Train was coming to Two-Phase Paradise, Pearl, who had already established herself there, was very excited.

So the group split into three groups.

Himeko and Welt still had to discuss the Anti-Destruction Alliance, while Hoshi took the others to the amusement park.

Then Xing, March 7, Danheng and Sunday walked out of the station and officially entered the 2D city.

Xing saw Lai Gu Shi.

"Croak! Where did this cybernetic ghost come from? Die!!!"

Xing reacted immediately, pulled out his baseball bat, and charged forward.

Everyone was startled and was about to make a move when Lai Gushi quickly raised his hand to stop them, uttering a female voice:

"Hey, hey, hey! Little gray hair, don't be in such a hurry, it's me, Hanabi!"

Fireworks seemed afraid that Hoshi wouldn't believe her, so she quickly restored her original appearance.

"Damn it, Hanabi, are you out of your mind? Of all the people to transform into, you had to turn into Raiko."

"Oh dear, don't be offended, I just wanted to give you a surprise. After all, your feat of saving Onpharos is legendary!"

"I think it's more like being frightened. By the way, what are you doing here?"

"Hehehe, Hanabi is your tour guide~"

"Really?"

With some skepticism, the train crew followed Hanabi's footsteps down the street.

Although there are doubts about Hanabi's identity, she still gave a very comprehensive introduction to the features of Nissou Land.

"The most interesting thing about the Two-Phase Paradise is the Phantom Species. They are created by the power of will and are unique to the Two-Phase Paradise."

Dan Heng: "So, you mean turning virtual characters into reality?"

"Not bad~ You have a good grasp of things."

Hanabi squinted and chuckled: "The more popular an image is, the stronger the power of wishes it receives. But once it loses its popularity, that power of wishes will also disappear. If it has no fame at all, the existence of the Illusionary Species itself cannot be sustained."

Fireworks seemed to be a veiled reference, but Hoshi's attention was already drawn to the giant screen on the skyscraper.

Because the entire screen was projecting a handsome poster of her.

"I never expected to be so popular here. This is incredible! I'm going to settle down here at Nissou Paradise."

March 7: "Don't even think about it, you'll be a has-been star sooner or later."

"No way! I'm a top-notch pioneer, how could I be outdated?"

After touring around, everyone was a bit hungry, so Hanabi recommended a restaurant called Genzo.

The waiters inside were all Phantom Creation Mechs!

After everyone was seated, Xing shouted:

"Where are the waiters?"

"Hello ma'am, this is the menu."

"Very good. I'll have some ham and eggs, a top-quality steak with caviar, all the side dishes, and a thick sauce. One for everyone."

"This will cost a lot of money, ma'am."

"I know, and by the way, give everyone a large tub of juice."

March 7th asked quietly:

"Hey, isn't this going to be too expensive?"

"What are you afraid of? Didn't Zhenzhu say she'd cover all the expenses?"

"But we can't just take things too seriously and spend money recklessly. Being too casual will have a negative impact."

Xing waved his hand: "As you can see, Zhenzhu knows Uncle Xiao and the others. They're obviously old friends, so there's no need to stand on ceremony."

Dan Heng nodded: "I know Ms. Zhenzhu. She won't break her promises. But Xing, don't be too presumptuous. I feel like you've become much more arrogant since you came to the Two-Phase Paradise."

"Well, this is the first time I've ever been this popular."

Sunday said:

"Everything here looks very fresh and refined, but the pace of life is very fast, and there are all kinds of ways to gain traffic and attention. It gives me a feeling of being happy, but also hurried and numb."

As everyone was chatting, the waiter brought over a scale.

Xing: "What are you doing?"

"Madam, this is a scale used to measure caviar."

"What do you mean? You even weighed it for me? Did you think I'd shortchange you by a single penny?"

Please don't misunderstand, this is how caviar is sold.

"Are you kidding me! If the other tables see this, they'll think we Trail Blazers can't afford it. Another bowl, one for each of us!"

After we finished eating and drinking, the waiter handed over the receipt and said:

"Five steaks, five bowls of caviar, ham and eggs for five people, and five cups of juice, totaling 100,000 credits."

Xing felt around with his left hand and then with his right, but there wasn't a single penny in his pocket.

"I have no money."

Hanabi whispered, "Little Grey, are you trying to dine and dash?"

Just as the waiter was about to say something, Xing said leisurely:

"Send the bill to Zhuxing Building, and Ms. Zhenzhu will pay it."

......

Zhenzhu and Chengxiao successfully met.

"Long time no see, you two."

Cheng Xiao: "Zhenzhu seems to have grown a lot. Her temperament is completely different from before."

Bai Heng laughed and said, "Zhenzhu was so innocent and naive back then, she looked like a little kid."

When her embarrassing past was brought up by her old friend, Zhenzhu felt somewhat awkward.

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, as far as I know, you don't belong to the pioneers, you're just a temporary passenger."

"right."

"Then... does Mr. Cheng Xiao know anything about the Phantom Moon Game?"

"I don't know."

"This Illusion Moon Game was designed by the Star God of Joy, Aha. One can become an attendant by wearing eight masks. The game has no fixed rules; its only criterion for judgment is how much attention a participant attracts."

Zhenzhu said solemnly:

"The winner will have the opportunity to meet the God of Fun and gain one minute of the authority of the Star God."

Cheng Xiao was somewhat surprised. A minute of Star God's authority? That certainly suited Aha's personality.

"Are you asking me to do something by saying all this?"

Zhenzhu chuckled: "Thank you for your understanding. To be honest, during the Phantom Moon game, countless people will be chasing after it in the Two Phases Paradise. In fact, the company's reputation here is not good. Many natives believe that the company has destroyed the freedom of pleasure and even suppressed the Phantom Creation species through marketing means."

"But my duty is to maintain the stability of the Two-Phase Paradise. For this, I need an ally, an ally who can help me win the Phantom Moon Game Championship."

"So you want me to participate?"

"That would be ideal, but I won't make a demanding request. In fact, I'm fine with anything as long as someone with ulterior motives doesn't win the championship."

Cheng Xiao stroked his chin thoughtfully, then looked up at the enormous moon in the sky, a celestial body with an expression, seemingly looking down on the entire Two-Phase Paradise, and also seemingly looking at him.

I have a feeling... there's something wrong with this thing.

Cheng Xiao asked, "If I hadn't come, did you have other business partners?"

"Yes, there is. My original plan did not include you."

"Very well, I cannot agree to let you participate in this game for the time being. I need to understand some things. If I cannot give you an answer in three days, then you should stick to the original plan."

Bai Heng chatted with Zhenzhu about everyday things, while Cheng Xiao felt the mask on his chest.

This two-phase paradise is a realm of joy.

Little Ha, are you still pretending to be stupid?
