Gopherwood: ?
Sunday:?
"a thousand years?"
"One...ten thousand years?"
Both of them were starting to lose their composure; the idea of a 10,000-year construction period was just too abstract.
They were originally father and son, but after finishing their work, they'll have to become brothers. Because, after ten thousand years of fighting, these two won't be much different from having a few more years.
"Yes, the kind you can't refuse. How about it, isn't it a great deal?"
"While you two were sitting on the sidelines, old Aude had already sold Pinocchio. He sold the whole family along with it. How about that? Surprised? Unexpected? Exciting?"
"Let's use these ten thousand years to build Pinocchio into an ideal paradise. However, there is one condition. People have the right to choose to leave on their own, and those who live a life of debauchery cannot remain in this state forever."
“Every 10 years, we clear out the people. Those who have accumulated more than 10 years in the dream will be forcibly removed from Pinocone. They will have to wait 8 years before they can enter the dream again.”
"I want to see just how dreamlike this ideal paradise is."
The thorns and iron chains shattered, and Hua Wu and Xi Qin disappeared from their sight.
"I can't figure out what he's up to."
"Child, ants can't guess what people are thinking."
......
Dream Reef —
Hua Wu released two prisoners and then went to Mikhail's grave.
He looked at Mikhail sitting in the chair and the three graves in front of him, "Old man Mikhail, although your grave was blown up three times because of me."
"But I had no choice. After all, you wouldn't want to see Pinocchio like this, would you?"
"Although I'd love to be adventurous and dance on your grave, never mind, I'll ask for your permission first."
Hua Wu retrieved Mikhail's soul from the past to the present and stuffed it into this body of memory.
"Who are you...?"
"The Nameless One now. Are you missing a part of your memory? Let me give you Misha's part too."
“Uh…you guys…” Mikhail’s memories gradually came together. He put the child’s dream aside, his eyes showing a mix of confusion, relief, and disbelief.
These emotions weren't written on their faces, but rather lingered in their eyes.
"You left so decisively back then, leaving Pam all alone in the car. Waaah, Pam cried so hard."
"However, I like to see unexpected fates. Whatever you want to say to Pam, I can record it in the light cone."
Hua Wu took out a blank light cone and placed it in front of Mikhail.
Hearing this name, Mikhail's thoughts drifted back to a long time ago. "Pam...yes, that was a long, long time ago."
"How about a grand reunion in the underworld? Although their souls and memories are a bit distant, I can still manage to scoop them up while I'm at it."
"Is that possible? The current pioneers... could you perhaps be Akivili?" Mikhail made a bold guess. Retrieving souls... no matter how you look at it, it seems impossible for a human to do it.
“How could I be Him? I haven’t lost myself yet.”
He used the same method again to bring Tirnan and Lazarina back.
"You two can continue your conversation. We won't disturb you any longer; we're leaving now."
Before Tirnan and Lazarina could react, Hua Wu and Xi Qin had vanished.
They all looked at Mikhail simultaneously. "Who are you?"
"Don't you recognize me? It seems we've been apart for too long. It's alright, let's pretend this is our first meeting. My name is—Mikhail."
When the name came out, Tirnan and Lazarina almost couldn't hold back.
"Why do you look so old?"
"I think I'm dead? I should be a blood-stained spirit..."
Mikhail said calmly, "Actually, we're all dead."
Lazarina: ......
Tirnan: ......
Sometimes, conversations can just die out so easily.
......
Inside the Huichangshi ship, Ji Zi finally arrived late.
When she arrived at the scene, she saw old Audrey lying on the sofa, looking like a dead man.
He kept repeating, "Robber...company...robber...ten thousand years...working...ten thousand years..."
She turned her head and saw Toppa and Emerald looking at the contract on the other side.
"This contract is actually completely problem-free?"
"It is indeed a contract without any problems."
“I think the biggest problem is that there is no problem.” Topa was completely driven to PTSD. She always felt that there was a tiny, inconspicuous pit somewhere she couldn’t see, and if she walked over it, she would fall in.
"That shouldn't be the case. Can he really make the company money?"
“Perhaps, it’s compensation for Diamond’s emotional distress?” Emerald felt a chill run down her spine as soon as she finished speaking. “Uh, little Yelena, forget what I just said.”
Himeko walked over, looked at Emerald, and extended her hand, saying, "Himeko, the navigator of the Starry Sky Train. Ms. Emerald from the Strategic Investment Department, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Emerald shook hands with Himeko. "Nice to meet you. I'm sorry, the problem here has been resolved swiftly by Deputy Director Wei. However, I will offer you 10% of Pinocchio's shares after the financing, as 'Sweet Dew's' due appearance fee."
Himeko asked in confusion, "Isn't it already 24%?"
"That's Deputy Manager Wei's price; this 10% is your price."
Himeko was about to refuse when she heard this, since getting too involved with a planet was not in line with the definition of "exploration". "But I haven't helped at all, so I can't accept a reward without doing anything."
"It wasn't a complete failure. The fact that Deputy Director Wei personally took action is enough. In any case, at least you brought him here."
After what Toppa just said, Emerald realized that things that go too smoothly are prone to going wrong. In short, the task cannot be over-fulfilled; any excess must be discarded.
76% of Pinocchio's shares are too abstract. Let's give 10% to Himeko first, and then put the remaining 15% on the trading market later. As long as we maintain 51% of the target, it's fine.
After all, her expectation was 30% to 25%. This is over 40%, which is very suspicious.
Although she knew this might be compensation for Diamond's emotional distress, she felt it was unlikely that Hua Wu would pay Diamond compensation for emotional distress.
"If this counts as a merit..."
She had to give away the shares in Jade anyway, since she had no room for advancement, so just breaking even and staying put was enough.
“Ms. Himeko, this isn't just an appearance fee; it's a deal. Vice Director Wei will need to accompany you on your ‘expansion’ journey. Also, his leave has been approved by the company—indefinitely.”
"He can stay on the Star Train until he doesn't want to stay anymore."
Chapter 425 Crying and Laughing, Aha is Making a Scene
Since things have come to this point, it would be unreasonable for Himeko not to accept it.
"In that case, I will accept this precious gift on behalf of the Starry Sky Train."
She looked out the window; the fireworks were still going off.
Only old Audrey, lying on the sofa, listened and accepted everything.
The three "people" of Liumeng Reef also said everything they wanted to say to Pam, storing it all in that blank light cone.
"That's probably it. Actually, I still wish I were that kid who used to be the one who used to be the one who used to be the compass on the train."
Watching the fireworks bloom in the sky, he placed the somewhat blurry cone of light on the ground, and they closed their eyes again.
"This time, perhaps I won't need to wake up..."
However, things did not go as they expected; they did not see the darkness, nor could they touch death.
"I've taken the light cone. I can't take the life. Let it be passed on to future generations; that's more befitting of your predecessors."
"By the way, Mr. Mi, you shouldn't mind if I take a picture of the MVP settlement screen here, right?"
Mikhail paused for a moment. "Young man, why should I care? But I'd like to ask, what's the MVP results screen?"
Based on the principle that explanation is demonstration, Hua Wu performed a one-handed side somersault combined with a Thomas spin on the spot.
Then, he did a somersault, followed by a 720° side spin in the air, and landed steadily.
Tiernan took a look and thought it was interesting. He tossed his cowboy hat aside and also gave an impromptu performance.
Seeing the joyful atmosphere, Mikhail felt that although his body was old, his heart was young and he could find happiness on his own.
With such an opportunity right in front of us, not seizing it would be tantamount to being an outsider.
Since it's a memory-based body anyway, if it breaks, we can just rebuild it.
Only at this moment did the cone of light become clear.
"Death is being transcended by words and dance" - a pioneering work. ★★★★
Life: 824
Attack: 428
Defense: 124
Hua Wu put away the clear light cone and looked at the three of them again. "The three of you, I'll take my leave now. But to respect your personal wishes, I'll leave you with a way out. If you don't want to live, strike your hearts eight times."
This sentence immediately stunned the three senior figures.
"Bye-bye, I'll come back when the bugs and monkeys start biting each other!"
He disappeared again, leaving behind only three people from the old era.
"Mikhail, so, are we alive or dead now?"
"He's probably still alive. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left us with a way out."
