Ruan Mei's rumored boyfriend was exposed by Xingbao Live

"I only have three chips here, everything, or nothing." Sha Jin fiddled with a round chip in his hand and said to Gu Jun, "Look forward to my performance, my friend, I will not lose."

Gu Jun stared at Sha Jin's eyes closely, and Sha Jin looked back at him without avoiding the gaze.

After a long time, Gu Jun finally nodded: "Okay, I can understand your desire to keep the plan secret before it is implemented. However, since you two came here in advance, you must have gained something. Tell me, what do you know?"

Gold Sand and Latio looked at each other and nodded.

I shared my observations and related speculations with Gu Jun.

It was at this time that Gu Jun finally learned about the "watchmaker's" legacy.

It turns out that the Harmonious Music Festival is just a cover on the surface, and there is such a big secret hidden inside.

“Perhaps this is one of the reasons why there are signs of division within the Association?”

Gu Jun thought about the information he learned from Sha Jin, and felt deeply moved again. Things seemed to be getting interesting again.

At the same time, Gu Jun couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Damn Hua Huo, she actually concealed such an important thing..."

When Hua Huo was trying to trick Gu Jun into coming to Pinoconi, she didn't tell Gu Jun anything about the "watchmaker's legacy".

Even though Gu Jun himself was not very interested in this inheritance, this was the key information that led to so many forces converging on Pinoconi. Hua Huo's deliberate concealment did make Gu Jun feel a little annoyed.

The next time I see Hanabi, I must punish her severely.

Hua Huo must realize that Gu Jun is no pushover either.

Afterwards, after Gu Jun, Sha Jin and Latio exchanged information, Sha Jin, who got the answer he wanted, left first.

He still has a lot of important things to do.

such as……

Get in touch with more friends and find out the details of the mysterious sea-seeking ranger.

Or, go see the lovely Miss Xinghe.

Gu Jun had been thinking about the watchmaker's legacy with his head down. When he looked up again, he was surprised to find something.

Latio still stood there and did not leave.

Gu Jun couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Why are you still here?"

Latio looked at Gu Jun with a serious expression on his face: "Where is Ruan Mei now?"

Gu Jun suddenly became alert: "Why are you asking this?"

In Gu Jun's opinion, most researchers in the Boshi Society regard members of the Genius Club as their idols.

This guy looks very serious, could he be a fan of Ruan Mei secretly?

Latio narrowed his eyes and said bluntly, "As a fellow researcher, and she's also your girlfriend, you should know what she's researching, right?"

Now Gu Jun's expression turned serious: "What do you know?"

"In most people's eyes, Ether Front is just a game developed by a company to kill time. But in fact, all the data in this game are data on real species collected by the company on different planets."

Latio looked at Gu Jun and answered seriously:

"As a [Commander], I'm sure no one knows better than you that only creatures recognized by the [Star God] and personally granted energy can become [Commanders]. After the death of the Insect King Taiziyolos, all [Breeding] Commanders no longer exist, and the Star-Breaking King Insect is naturally one of them."

At this point, Latio's eyes suddenly became sharp:

"I really want to know where the data about the Broken Star King Worm in Ruan Mei's Ether Coin came from?"

Facing Latio's questioning, Gu Jun was silent for a moment and said, "Archaeology."

"..." A few black lines appeared on Latio's forehead. "Do you think I will believe it?"

The most that archaeologists have unearthed is the corpse of the Star-Breaking King Worm, which is absolutely impossible to turn into the lively appearance in the Ether Coin.

To Latio, Gu Jun's answer was simply an insult to his intelligence.

Gu Jun did not give any further explanation, but directly said to Latio: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not."

Latio looked into Gu Jun's eyes and looked very dissatisfied: "I must warn you, Ruan Mei's research is very dangerous, and may even endanger the entire universe. How many people will be affected and hurt by this? You can't imagine it, right?"

Of course Gu Jun knew what Latio was talking about, and this was actually the reason why he and Ruan Mei became friends.

Gu Jun looked at Latio, the Doctor of Truth who truly cared about mortals. He could no longer pretend to be unreasonable.

He patted Latio on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we will take care of everything."

Chapter 182 Fireworks: Let’s go find Little Gray Hair together!

Gu Jun and Latio eventually parted ways unhappily.

The two ultimately failed to reach a consensus on the issue of Ruan Mei.

Of course, the contradiction ends here.

Whether it is Gu Jun or Latio, they can both discuss the matter rationally.

At least when it comes to the company's recovery of Pinocchio, the two are currently on the same front.

Gu Jun stood in front of the bathtub, looked at the dreamy memories flowing in it, and shrugged.

"Forget it... Let's go check out the legendary dream world first..."

Of course, we have to find Ruan Mei first.

With this thought in mind, Gu Jun slowly lay down in the bathtub, face up, crossed his hands and covered his navel, slowly relaxing his body, with his family's gentle guidance echoing in his ears.

"Please relax and feel the rise and fall of your body..."

"Focus on your breathing and imagine a paradise..."

"Imagine... a land of dreams..."

Then, a wave of sleepiness suddenly hit Gu Jun. Hazy and dreamy bubbles suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and his vision gradually became blurred.

Gu Jun did not resist this slightly dangerous feeling, but obediently closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already standing on a busy street. Everywhere he looked was magnificent and colorful. Various billboards were erected between the tall buildings. Pinocchio's iconic Suleda Fountain was continuously spewing sweet drinks into the sky. The air was filled with an atmosphere of decadence and decadence everywhere.

“Is this… the golden moment?”

Looking at the scenery here, Gu Jun couldn't help but frown.

According to the family's introduction: The corresponding time of [Golden Hour] is [Midnight] - here, the time in dreams always stays at the moment before midnight.

This dream represents people's desire not to let today end. In this dream, tomorrow will never come and the revelry will never stop.

This is Pinocchio's most luxurious dreamland, which gathers all kinds of treasures from the entire galaxy and is worth a visit.

At this moment, Gu Jun should be at the entrance of "Golden Hour", with the Daydream Hotel behind him and the Clock Boy Square and the magnificent building floating in the air - the Pinocchio Theater in front of him.

The original identity of this theater was the central prison of Asdena. After the family's transformation, it finally became what it is today.

However, Gu Jun was obviously not interested in anything here.

A researcher who doesn't care about money, fame or fortune, and even has some social anxiety, doesn't fit in with the atmosphere here at all.

In fact it is.

Before entering Pinocchio's dream, Gu Jun had already made an appointment with Ruan Mei to meet at the [Hour of the Sun].

It is a dreamland that carries the history and culture of Pinocchio. The Pinocchio Museum, Chuxing Library, Origami University and other places that are very attractive to Gu Jun are all there.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be here.

In the end what happened?

Gu Jun looked around. He always felt that there seemed to be something around him, and it was very active. But even if he activated the power of [Balance] to explore, he still couldn't find anything wrong.

The family's dreams seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined.

at the same time.

Next to Gu Jun, a little boy with light blue hair and wearing a Pinocchio staff uniform was waving at Gu Jun and saying something.

But unfortunately, Gu Jun couldn't hear anything at all. Not only Gu Jun, but everyone around them couldn't detect the existence of this little boy.

"Hey, little Hina-chan."

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Gu Jun again.

It's fireworks.

Hua Huo was seen hiding behind a billboard. She poked her head out and stretched out her little hand to greet Gu Jun happily.

Gu Jun suddenly turned around, looking unkind: "You are the one behind this again?"

"Oh, how can I be so capable~"

Hua Huo jumped out from behind the billboard. Without Ruan Mei by her side, she would not be afraid of Gu Jun.

Gu Jun narrowed his eyes.

Logically speaking, the moment when he was about to head for the sun was something only he and Ruan Mei knew.

He just asked if it was Hua Huo's doing, but he didn't ask specifically what Hua Huo had done.

That is to say-

Even though Hua Huo said that he did not have the ability to change Gu Jun's destination in the dream, at least, Hua Huo knew what happened to Gu Jun.

Gu Jun exuded a dangerous aura: "So it is still related to you, a bastard."

He just felt as if he was possessed by Wukong, his hands were itching and eager to fight.

"Ouch, that's scary." Hua Huo covered her chest with her hands, looking frightened. Then her face became serious again, and she said to Gu Jun, "I didn't do this. It was done by the owner of this dream, or... the former owner."

Hanabi looked at the little boy who seemed to be non-existent with a mysterious smile on her face.

Gu Jun knew that there was a mysterious employer behind Huo Huo, who invited her to Pinocchio in exchange for a good show.

Then according to what Hua Huo meant now...

The employer behind this is Pinocchio's former owner?

Gu Jun didn’t have a very deep understanding of Pinocchio’s history, but the establishment of Pinocchio was closely related to the unknown guest named "Watchmaker".

The most likely scenario is that Hanabi's employer is a watchmaker, or someone related to a watchmaker.

If this speculation is true, then what does the watchmaker want me to do at the [Golden Hour]?

Gu Jun couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Hua Huo looked at Gu Jun's thoughtful expression, spread his hands, and said, "No matter what you guess, it's your own idea. I'm not responsible if you guess wrong."

Then, Hua Huo asked Gu Jun again: "I'm going to look for Little Gray Hair now. How about that? Do you want to come with me?"

Little gray hair?

Gu Jun was stunned at first, then he reacted.

The person Hua Huo was talking about should be Xing Bao. After all, among the people Gu Jun knew, Xing Bao was the only one with gray hair.

"A star core again..."

Gu Jun scratched his head. He understood it now.

In the past, wherever the Starry Sky Train appeared, some big things would always happen inexplicably. Now, after Xingbao joined, this tendency has become more and more obvious.

This container that can store star cores seems to be the focus of cosmic disputes.

perhaps……

After finding the star treasure, it can indeed provide a lot of useful information for your next actions.

"Wait a moment, I'll notify Ruan Mei first."

Gu Jun took out his cell phone and said this.

Chapter 183 Gu Jun said he was sober

Ruan Mei felt a little unhappy about the fact that her boyfriend had made an appointment to meet her at the library but was abducted halfway.

She originally wanted to go directly to [Golden Moment] to find Gu Jun, but was delayed by something in the end.
