Their commission was suspicious.

Yesterday, when I met Mei, the true leader of the Fire Moth group, I felt that she was almost bald from dealing with trivial matters.

"No, that's not right. If it weren't for Chen Luo, shouldn't the experts be working now? Oh no, could it be a suspension bridge reaction?" Wilvi suddenly felt a chill.

"What are you daydreaming about? Look at the blueprints, why are you looking at me?" Chen Luo touched Wilvi's forehead, and Wilvi shrank back.

When facing Chen Luo, Wilvi felt a rare sense of embarrassment, like a teacher facing a student facing a teacher. Chen Luo's forging and mechanical skills were taught by "herself"... How dare he do this? This treacherous fellow!

"Oh." All Wilvi could do was mutter an "oh" softly, and then continue to seriously discuss with Chen Luo how to design the Divine Key.

Occasionally, when I'm distracted, I can only look on with envy at the other self-consciousnesses within me that are gradually awakening and wandering aimlessly through the palace of my mind.

After leaving the restraint barrier, the other personalities returned one by one, but the bad news was that because of Yu Duchen, the original self, Wilvi, could only watch these personalities helplessly.

As for seeking help from outside, forget about it.

Chen Luo said that Wilvi could ask for help, but if she couldn't get help and Chen Luo found out, then Wilvi would have to watch her backside...

However, looking at Chen Luo, who could easily answer any of her questions, Wilvi felt that Chen Luo was the real all-rounder.

But since Chen Luo said that all his knowledge came from others who taught him, and that the other Vilvies were far more capable than him...

Then I suppose I, who was praised by Chen Luo as being much more talented than the rest of myself, should be able to achieve Chen Luo's level... right?

But are the others as capable as me?

Sure enough, I am currently the most useless one...

But as long as you work hard, it should be fine, right?

At the very least, I need to deceive Chen Luo and make him think that I'm already very capable, so that I can go back and rest, right?

"..." Chen Luo caught a glimpse of Vervi's inner thoughts, and also saw Vervi's increasingly confident expression.

No, are you a fraudster, some kind of concept god?

Is this something that can be done so easily, like fraud?

Are you deceiving yourself?

Sure enough, unless this con artist, Velvi, is pushed a little, she won't know how talented she is.

Next, we will intensify our teaching efforts!

[One teaches relentlessly, the other studies relentlessly, right? One doesn't know how talented they are, the other wants to know just how talented the other really is...]

……

"Phew...Vilvie, you really are a genius." Chen Luo sighed.

"Huh? Isn't it obvious? Do I need to explain how talented I am?" Velvi said, hands on her hips.

At this moment, Chen Luo and Wilvi were walking on the streets of Pinocchio.

After concluding his instruction of the pre-civilization self, Vivi, and assigning her some homework, Chen Luo finally had some time to himself.

But after returning to the bar, he saw Velvi, who had returned from the Black Tower space station.

According to Vilvi, she has figured out the principle of imaginary pulse technology and can now make imaginary pulses by hand, provided that she has enough materials.

It is always difficult to develop a technology from scratch, but it is much easier for later learners. Every researcher is able to achieve greater results than their predecessors because they stand on the shoulders of giants.

And Chadwick was that giant.

After finishing her studies, she naturally rested. She happened to see Chen Luo at a bar, so she dragged Chen Luo to Pinocchio to go shopping with her.

“I’m talking about the id, Vilvie,” Chen Luo said.

"You've already progressed to the point of training your true self, Velvi, in the previous civilization? That's pretty fast." Velvi seemed somewhat surprised.

"What do you mean by 'training'? And is it really okay for you to talk badly about my true self, Virvi, behind her back?" Chen Luo couldn't help but say.

"What's good or bad about it? She can't hear me anyway," Wilvi waved her hand.

Although Chen Luo cultivated the confidence of the original self, Velvey, Velvey appeared more and more frequently in the previous civilization. Because of the existence of the original self, the different personalities of Velvey, who could only communicate through messages normally, were also able to communicate in real time.

When the body is in a state of slumber, the spider's limbs can only function independently, but with the coordination of the main body, they can work together smoothly.

This is actually the true use of Velvi's fusion warrior abilities. However, even after the greatest ability of mutual exchange was lost due to Velvi's slumber, the fact that Velvi still had such a high participation rate in raids further demonstrates just how talented she truly is.

However, because so much time has passed since the destruction of the previous civilization, the original self, Velvey, has fallen into a deep sleep again.

This time it wasn't because of social withdrawal, but because of boredom.

Having been accustomed to communicating through records for 5 years, communicating through the "Vilvie Chat Group" felt somewhat unfamiliar.

Since there's plenty of time in the future, it would be even more boring to see something exciting outside but not be able to participate. So the Vilvies chose to take turns appearing.

"Now that you mention it, I'm starting to think about whether I should teach you the Shadow Clone Technique. Or perhaps give you the core of the Thousand Herrscher. That way, different Velvies could appear simultaneously," Chen Luo thought, stroking his chin.

"If you're willing to teach us Shadow Clone Technique, or turn us into a thousand Herrschers' familiars, we wouldn't mind. But can your body handle dealing with eight of me at once?"

"Uh... what do you mean?"

“It means exactly what it says.” Wilvi licked her lips.

"!!!"

Chen Luo subconsciously moved away from Wilvi.

"Haha, what? Scared you? Okay, okay, I won't scare you anymore. Actually, maintaining this shared body is quite nice. The only problem is that each of us has to be responsible for the others and can't mess around with the body." At this point, Wilvi sounded a little annoyed.

"Reckless behavior" refers to...

"It's the mysterious scholar Velvi (Velvi overlooking the stars) who keeps using this body to eat all sorts of random things, which annoys the expert who always manipulates the body after the scholar. Of course, I also annoy the expert having to wear thick, heavy boots every time, and having to specially treat them before each performance," the magician Velvi complained.

"Speaking of which, why don't you perform magic tricks in your dreams anymore?"

"People who seek reality in dreams are more or less mentally ill. Do you think I'm that kind of person? Besides, magic tricks that require skill can be performed by Xiao Shi as easily as magic. What's so challenging about that?" Velvi complained.

"That's not necessarily true. After all, there can be amazing magic shows in dreams too. By the way, Velvi, didn't you once prepare a magic trick that would make the Mu Continent disappear? Today I will show you a magic trick or magic that is even more exaggerated than that."

"Oh, what kind of magic trick?"

"Just wait and see. It wouldn't be fun if the magic trick was revealed beforehand. But could I invite you to be my magic assistant?"

“Of course.” Wilvi placed her hand on Chen Luo’s outstretched hand.

So what should I do?

"Go and set up a stage that everyone can see," Chen Luo said.

"...Interesting. Including reality?"

“Including reality. I think for a genius like you, who was invited by the God of Wisdom but was too lazy to join the Genius Club, connecting dreams with reality and spreading the word shouldn't be a problem, right? As for the venue setup, if there's a shortage of manpower, we can use this to mobilize all members belonging to the family. Now there are only a few hours left before the grand opening.” Chen Luo said, handing over the token given to him by the Dream Master to Wilvie.

"Of course, I'm a professional when it comes to setting up magic stages. By the way, would you like me to use the Primal Stone to create a few bodies for you, so that your other personalities can keep you company?"

"No need, that would be too strange."

"What's so strange about that? This is eight times the happiness!"

"No, if one personality is all it takes to be happy, then I might as well go find Hanabi. Doesn't she always say that the Fool has a thousand faces and plays the game of life? That's a thousand times more fun."

"..."

“You’re right, right, Fireworks?” Chen Luo turned to look at the Pipi Westerner beside him.

"What are you saying, sir?" The Pipisi woman tilted her head, looking at Chen Luo with some curiosity.

"Now that I see you've found a new toy, I can go set up the stage with peace of mind. Bye-bye." After seeing that Chen Luo seemed to have found a target to toy with, Wilvi said goodbye to Chen Luo and left.

Vivi wanted to ask Chen Luo if he wanted another version of himself to keep him company, mainly because she was worried that Chen Luo would be lonely, but now that Chen Luo had toys, things were different.

After Chen Luo returned from the previous civilization, Xiao Shi had already dragged Fu Hua to Pinocchio to play. Alicia was defending her title on the stage, and Eden was doing the same.

Huang Quan wasn't quite sure, but Huan Yu Huang Quan was still working.

It seems the two Yellow Springs refer to the fact that the Yellow Springs itself cannot be eaten, and the Pleasure Yellow Springs cannot be eaten either.

As for Mei and the others... they're in class.

That's right, after Saturday and Sunday, Monday is the day for classes.

Kiana complained somewhat, wondering why there couldn't be a seven-day weekend, since every day felt like a holiday.

To this, Chen Luo could only reply—you can achieve it in your dreams.

Even if high school students encounter the end of the world, a zombie apocalypse, or a meteorite falling from the sky, they still have to attend classes obediently.

"Alright, stop pretending, Fireworks. I can smell the Fool's Mask on you from across the street. If you don't use special methods like you did the last two times, do you think you can fool me, the Envoy of Pleasure, with just the power of pleasure?" Chen Luo said casually.

"Tsk, what are you doing here?" Hanabi bared her teeth in annoyance.

Hanabi still feels a bit of pain in her butt.

"I'm waiting for whoever you're waiting for," Chen Luo said, glancing at the gold dust walking towards them from a distance.

"I didn't expect this little peacock to be so likable, to have the honor of attracting the attention of two Masked Fools, one of whom is even a Pleasure Envoy." Hanabi shook her head, seemingly somewhat gloating.

"Well, let's leave that aside for now. Speaking of which, can I touch the pom-pom on your head? I can't touch the real pom-pom of a Pipixi, but the simulation should be pretty close, right?" Chen Luo asked Hua Huo.

“Other Pipixi people won’t let you touch them, so why do you think I’ll let you? Our relationship isn’t that close yet, is it?” Huahu rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

"Don't say that, after all, we'll soon be accomplices."

"Accomplice means...you also plan to get involved in this?" Hanabi pointed to the gold dust not far away.

"No, it might be bigger than you think."

"It seems you really do see me as a pawn in a game of chess, but I need to tell you that sometimes a pawn can devour its master," Hanabi said, squinting.

"Also, let go of the pom-pom on my head."

"I won't let go."

While Chen Luo and Hanabi were talking, Sand Gold had already set its sights on this side and was walking towards them. It was unclear whether its target was Chen Luo or Hanabi after her transformation.

But that didn't matter, because just as he was about to reach the two of them, Sand Gold almost fainted. He knelt on one knee to barely keep himself from collapsing completely, and his complexion didn't look very good.

“Remember what I told you? You Tsiganians are only fit to stay under manhole covers. Look at you, sneaking around, sniffing here and there. Is the smell of death so alluring, little peacock?” Seeing that the gold dust was getting closer, Hanabi simply stopped pretending and reverted to her original self.

Because the fireworks removed their disguise, the pom-pom that Chen Luo had been playing with for a while also disappeared.

"It's you. You're the stand-in who appeared on TV after the robin died, aren't you, Masked Fool?" Sand Gold said, enduring the pain as he looked at Fireworks.

"And I didn't know that you would be so close to Chen Luo, the Lord of Paradise." Even though Sand Gold had a splitting headache, he looked at Chen Luo, who had placed his hand on Firework's head, with great surprise.

"Who's on good terms with him? It's just that he's more adept at pleasure than I am. This Lord of Paradise is no ordinary person. I heard you were beheaded by your family. Sigh, they gave you such a direct hint: go find a mute to befriend. Listen to that, just such a simple sentence. And what happened? You not only messed it up but also ruined yourself. They told you to befriend a fake mute instead of making you mute yourself. You really let them down." Hanabi sighed repeatedly.

“However, in my opinion, this is not a bad thing. Because…” Hanabi said, pushing away Chen Luo’s hand that was playing with his hair.

“Because I’m close to uncovering the truth, aren’t I? Fool, why do you think I’m carrying this tattered bag, handing out cheap jewelry all over the street? It’s all for your benefit. The more disheveled I appear, the more likely I am to lure you out. You’ve been watching me for a long time. Considering how hard I’ve worked, aren’t you going to reward me with an answer?” Sand Gold asked.

Why should I help you?

"Didn't you want Pinocchio to plunge the world into chaos? I can make it happen. I just need to verify one thing: was the mute you sent me to find really just a robin?" Sand Gold asked, squinting.

"...What if I say no?"

"Thank you, this is the first time I've heard this word so warmly." Sand Gold looked much more relaxed.

“Sure, I underestimated you, but what good does it do? Let me tell you, mute… there were originally two people who fit this definition, but the robin is dead, and the other one is still in Pinocchio, but I'm afraid you'll never find her again.” Hanabi said, hands on her hips.

“Fool, now I am absolutely certain that I have been on the right track from the very beginning, and have never deviated. I only lack two things: first, the meaning behind the truth, and second, the method to reveal it,” Sand Gold said.

"Great, it's time for my favorite part: stubbornness. You still don't know anything, do you?"

"No, no, no, I have already proven his existence through various signs, and that is enough. As for the answers to those two questions, a dozen systems are more than enough for me to handle everything."

“A dozen hours. Is that really enough? Then let me add fuel to the fire. Here you go, this is my treasured destruction button. Just press it, and it will blow Pinocchio to smithereens. If you really want your company to move into Pinocchio, and you really can't stand it anymore, then blowing up the card table isn't a bad idea. When you're at your wit's end, just press it,” Hanabi said.

"That's dangerous! My family didn't take your words seriously at all. Otherwise, how could you have brought his family in? But I'm afraid I have to refuse your offer. I will prepare a grand show for the downfall of my family. At the climax of the performance, the high walls will collapse, people will awaken, and those who cannot speak will speak again. When that time comes, please press the button and set off a big firework to celebrate." Sand Gold wisely refused the Fool's gift.

"Hanabi the Masked Fool is right there! Quick, grab her! She's carrying weapons of mass destruction!" Suddenly, a group of members from the Hound Family appeared and pointed at Hanabi.

"Hmm?" Hanabi frowned, then turned to look at Chen Luo.

"Yes, that's right, I reported it. Otherwise, why do you think I'd be waiting for you here? This is a return gift," Chen Luo said with a smile.

"Hmph, you think these people can catch me? Fine, see you later." Having said what she needed to say, Hanabi gave Chen Luo the middle finger and, seeing the approaching hound family, chose to run away.

"Looks like the person who was supposed to help you celebrate has run away. But... I can help you too, how about we team up?" Chen Luo asked Sand Gold.

"...What do you want?" Sand Gold asked, frowning.

There are many factions that have come to Pinocchio. Sand Gold knows more or less what they want. For example, the company wants to take back Pinocchio, Flowing Light Memory wants more precious memories, the Sea Ranger may want the Watchmaker's treasure, and the Masked Fool sees something interesting to watch here.

But Chen Luo's uninvited arrival certainly left people wondering about his purpose.
