Their commission was suspicious.

"Welcome back to Pinocchio, Mr. Chen Luo. How may I help you? And this lady next to you is..." When Chen Luo arrived at the front desk, Ellie, the receptionist he had met on his first visit to Pinocchio, greeted him very politely.

“My name is Screwgoom, madam. Please forgive me for arriving uninvited and without checking in. You should be able to find my name on the family’s permanent VIP list,” Screwgoom said.

Upon hearing the words "Screw Gum," Ellie's facial features twitched slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

Even if they weren't front-line staff who should be familiar with the top members of various factions, some of the members of the Genius Club were already very well-known in the interstellar world.

For example, Screw Gumm.

“Please wait a moment, Mr. Screws Goom… I’ve confirmed that your name is indeed on the permanent VIP list. Welcome back to Pinocchio, Mr. Screws Goom. Is there anything I can do for you?” Ellie asked in a formulaic manner.

“Chen Luo and I have come here to visit a guest, Dr. Calderon Chadwick. Could you arrange a meeting for us? As far as I know, he has been staying in Pinocchio for quite some time,” Screws said.

"Calderon Chadwick, strange, I can't remember that name. Please wait a moment, I need to access some system data..."

“There’s no need for that, Ellie. I’m sorry, both of you. Dr. Chadwick is not available to receive visitors,” a member of the hound family said firmly as he approached.

"As far as I know, Calderon Chadwick is not an immortal being. My last conversation with him took place two Amber Ages ago. Question: What methods did your family use to extend Calderon Chadwick's lifespan? Were these methods approved by the interstellar medical organization and in accordance with the rules set by Pinocone itself?" Screw Gum asked calmly and elegantly.

“…I do not have the authority to answer your question, sir, nor do I have the authority to allow anyone to visit Dr. Chadwick without permission. Please leave; there is no room for compromise here,” Moira, a member of the Hound family, said after a moment of silence.

"I understand that all your actions stem from loyalty to the family. So may I assume that, in order to uphold your principles, you would rather push the entire family to the opposite side of Screw Star, and are you willing to bear the consequences of being an enemy of the Genius Club?" Screw Gum suddenly exuded a terrifying sense of oppression.

Screw Goom is renowned throughout the universe, but at the same time, its threat level is extremely high, high enough to put the entire universe on alert.

Don't ask, the answer is Rupert III.

That being, a fellow android, a fellow member of the Genius Club, the one who once swept the world into war, invented the Anti-Life Equation, and launched the "Emperor's War" to wipe out all organic life.

Unfortunately, the "leader" of the intelligent life forms is none other than this Screw Goom.

In the end, after Moira consulted her superiors, she decided to let Slugum pass.

But it only allowed Screw Gum to pass.

That's right, Chen Luo was stopped.

However, the lineage leading to Chen Luo was not the hound family, but the oak family.

"We received a tip from a concerned citizen that you may be carrying weapons of mass destruction. Would you please cooperate with the investigation?" But the problem was that the tone of the project's family members was incredibly gentle.

This gave Chen Luo the feeling that if he didn't cooperate with the investigation, he would kneel down and beg him.

"Do you need any help?" Screw Gum asked.

“No need, Chadwick needs help more than I do. Here, take this.” Chen Luo handed a card to Screw Gum.

"This is……"

"It's a special gift from the park for guests with whom you have a close relationship—a ticket. With it, you can enter any adventurer's area in the amusement park, even across the barrier between reality and dreams," Chen Luo said.

"Thank you."

"Let's go, take me to see the person who wants to see me, or would you like to talk over there?" Chen Luo asked the person from the Oak family.

"Then... let's go chat over there." The voice of the Oak family member suddenly became somewhat low.

Screw Goom, who was standing nearby, noticed that this member of the Oak family was unusual. As Chen Luo seemed to have anticipated this, they followed the member of the Hound family to Chadwick's guest room.

Chen Luo, led by a member of the project's family, arrived at the VIP section of the bar at the Daydream Hotel.

"Speak, what do you want from me? Don't use the weapon of mass destruction excuse again, because I really do have weapons of mass destruction," Chen Luo said slowly, swirling the grape juice in his glass.

Chen Luo's words left the other party speechless.

It's true that they received reports from the public, and it's also true that they suspected the possession of weapons of mass destruction. However, after Chen Luo so frankly admitted it, the other party dared not discuss this matter any further.

It would be bad if we actually discovered that the other side possessed weapons of mass destruction.

"Mr. Chen Luo, may I ask..."

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking questions? Or should I just call you... Dream Master?"

"Let's not beat around the bush. It seems Mr. Chen Luo is indeed hiding his true abilities," the man said with a smile.

The dreamer is the leader of the five major Pinocchio families.

"It's incredibly impolite to not show your true self when talking to someone," Chen Luo said after taking a sip of grape juice.

“My mortal body has long since disappeared. The 107336 children of the project family are my eyes, ears and mouth now. When the time comes, I will spread joy in this beautiful dream.” The voice of the Oak family member became old.

"Is this what the family calls unity? It feels... not as good as Paradise."

"The adventurers of Paradise and the families of Harmony are not on the same path, but they are indeed remarkably similar. However..."

"However, in terms of concept, it is somewhat similar to Order... is that right?" Chen Luo asked.

"..." by Dream Master

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Just state your purpose for being here. You're not here to cause trouble, nor are you here to form an alliance, are you?"

"...Is it inappropriate for Mr. Chen Luo to mention the name of order in front of his colleagues?"

"Come on, you remnant of order. If you keep using this riddle-like rhetoric, I'll beat you up. I'm not as free as you think; on the contrary, I have very little time. I have to go shopping with pretty girls, where would I find the time to chat with a bird like you?"

"...I think we might be able to cooperate." After not knowing how much of the truth Chen Luo knew, the Dream Master also became cautious.

"cooperate?"

“Yes, that’s right, cooperation. Through intelligence gathering, I’ve learned that the adventurers of Paradise exist in a way very similar to the families of Tong Xie, but their ideology leans more towards order,” the Dream Master said.

From the dreamer's perspective, this is actually an opportunity.

The price of becoming a Paradise Adventurer is actually well-known among Paradise Adventurers, because Paradise Adventurers never deceive others; they only offer help to those who are desperate and have a wish.

And for each instance where a person sells a doll for gold coins, the Paradise Adventurer will inevitably be informed of the price again—a mind modification similar to a thought imprint.

Although the percentage is only 1% to 5%.

But unless one is driven to desperation, who can tolerate having their free will constrained?

And coincidentally, the family is similar.

Just like the dreamer's current state of "unity of purpose".

For example...

What happened on the planet Biari Scamanderlos.

It was one of the earthly paradises under the influence of Harmony. A paradise on earth that the inhabitants of the Greater and Lesser Daldanu star systems flocked to, where half of the pre-Amberian family held an unprecedented grand ceremony, and after the banquet, everyone on the planet became a member of the family.

Doesn't that sound a lot like the adventurers in the park?

The only difference is that one is voluntary and the other is forced.

However, the concept of the park is somewhat similar to that of order.

For example... isn't the very existence of paradise itself the best form of using force to overcome weakness?

Since we share common interests, there is a possibility of cooperation.

It would be even better if we had a common enemy.

"Does the Lord of Paradise know that, when destinies are similar, a relatively broad destiny can swallow up a narrow one?" the Dream Master asked.

“I know, just as the One of Order was swallowed up by the Hippe of Harmony. So what?”

"Therefore, I would like to invite the Lord of Paradise to cooperate. The existence of Paradise is too similar to that of Harmony, and you have the power to repel the God of Destruction. Whether you have relied on external objects or the support of countless adventurers from Paradise, if you intend to become the God of Destruction, then Harmony will be your greatest enemy," said the Dream Lord.

Becoming a Star God is almost impossible, but defeating and destroying a Star God with a mortal body is equally impossible.

And the Star Gods are often people who grow up from ordinary people.

For example, the hunting storm and the destruction of Nanuk are both traceable.

And most importantly, whether Chen Luo can succeed is one thing, and whether Meng Zhuan will use this matter to tempt the other party is another.

Making empty promises is something anyone can do.

"So? You're planning to cooperate with me to resurrect the Order Star God? Using the power of the Harmonious Music Ceremony? To resurrect an Order Star God of the Commander level?" Chen Luo asked.

“No, that’s not it. This is just an experiment.” The dreamer shook his head.

"I can help you."

"Oh, Mr. Chen Luo means he's willing to cooperate?"

"No, what I mean is that I can help you resurrect the Star God of Order."

"?!?!" Regardless of whether the Dream Master truly wanted to resurrect the Star God of Order, he was still quite shocked to see someone dare to make such a boast.

Dude, what gives you the right?

"Just based on... this." Chen Luo took out a ball of light.

Golden Godhood Spots.

“Do you know, this is a very special item, so special that it’s unimaginable, and its effect is… to make someone a Star God. I obtained this from the Imaginary Tree as an Imaginary Number Envoy,” Chen Luo said.

"!!!"

The dreamer's pupils began to dilate.

The dreamer initially didn't want to believe Chen Luo's nonsense, but... when observing the ball of light nearby, the dreamer couldn't deny its power.

Especially after Chen Luo threw that ball of light into his hand, the Dream Master felt as if he had grasped the opportunity to become a god.

"But... he has one major flaw."

Chen Luo's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the dreamer's dream.

Then Chen Luo easily took the ball of light back from the Dream Master's hand.

But the dreamer didn't find it strange at all.

The dreamer doesn't believe in things that don't have a reversal.

"Its drawback is that you can only acquire a godhood that you already possess through it. Moreover, when acquiring a godhood, you will be pulled into a space to fight that god one-on-one. The winner takes all, and the loser is left to eat dust," Chen Luo said.

"Then... what if the star god who possesses a divine position is already dead? Or has been devoured?" the Dream Master suddenly asked.

The dreamer seemed to realize what Chen Luo wanted to do.

"Then you can immediately become that star god."

"...Why don't you use it yourself?" the dreamer suddenly asked.

"Because I can't beat Tong Xie, and I look down on order," Chen Luo said.

"..." A very good reason.

"So... how about a collaboration? I'll offer you an opportunity to draw the attention of all the Fate Walkers, while you resurrect the Star God of Order. I'll acquire the power of another Star God through special means. Then we can work together to achieve harmony."

"..." Chen Luo's pie-in-the-sky design was so good that it caused the dreamer's brain to shut down.

No way, buddy, you're even crazier than me.

"Then why don't you directly obtain the power of order and then devour the same harmony?" The Dream Master still discovered a loophole.

“Order has already been devoured once. Using this godhood spot doesn’t mean all the power will be returned to you. Order’s destiny has already been swallowed by Harmony, so the resurrected Star God of Order is obviously no match for Harmony. But even the weakest Star God is still a Star God,” Chen Luo said.

"So you need a helper? A Star God-level helper. Like Order. And you have other means to obtain power similar to a Star God. Join forces with Order to devour Harmony, and then... devour Order again?" The Dream Master narrowed his eyes.

Although the conversation with Chen Luo was far beyond the dreamer's expectations.

However, the dreamer immediately realized Chen Luo's plan.

"So, my friend, let's make a big bet. Let's bet on whether, after I cooperate with the resurrected order, I will devour the Harmony and then devour the order, or the order will devour the Harmony and then make me give up." Chen Luo extended his hand to the Dream Master.

As for why it wasn't Order that swallowed up Tongxue and then Chen Luo?

Because only those with similar destinies can devour each other.

Chen Luo was able to devour Tong Xie because Chen Luo's Paradise was essentially the same as Tong Xie's.

"This means that you are in an invincible position in this cooperation, while I will risk my life," the Dreamer said slowly.

"Yeah, that's why I said it's a high-stakes gamble, and I've also given up a spot to become a god. So... are you in or not? Or are you going to use the power of the God of Harmony on Sunday to ask me what's really going on in my heart, whether I really want to go with you to kill Harmony as I seem?"

"..." This was completely outside the scope of the dreamer's consideration.

If you use Tong Xie's power to detect lies to ask the other party if they are going to kill Tong Xie, what if the Tong Xie star god finds out?

"Friend, this is a high-stakes gamble. Win and you'll become a Star God, standing above all living beings. Lose and you'll have nothing. Come, sign this contract." Chen Luo slammed a contract on the table and pushed it toward the Dream Master.

At this moment, in the eyes of the dream master, Chen Luo was the real mastermind and devil.

But the devil is the devil because he can always offer you a price you can't refuse.
