Their commission was suspicious.

Watching Detective Walker, the Paradise Adventurer, and the criminal leave, Chen Luo was in a good mood.

This is the dreamland that Chen Luo has been looking forward to, and the dream chaser that Chen Luo has been looking forward to.

When Chen Luo first heard about Pinocchio, the land of dreams, he had many expectations for it. However, after arriving at the place, he realized that it was more of a place of extravagance than a land of dreams.

While some dream chasers are indeed pursuing their dreams, most are gold diggers.

Chen Luo didn't actually think there was anything wrong with wanting to strike it rich; it's just that the actual Pinocchio was a little bit different from what he had imagined.

Now the seeds of dreams have been planted, and we are just waiting for them to sprout and grow.

Dreams and wishes... can spread.

Just like wish-fulfilling travelers, in fulfilling everyone's wishes, they leave the concept of fulfilling wishes in the hearts of everyone who has received help from others.

"So... no one really invited me?" Chen Luo looked up at the airship in the sky.

Hey, our family amusement park and company are hosting a grand party about the Wish Star God! Guess who wasn't invited?

"..."

That's right, it's the Wish Star Goddess!

"That's outrageous!"

[That's right, that's too much! Quickly cast a curse on them, just like the evil witch who, enraged by being invited to a grand banquet after the princess's birth, cast a vicious curse on her!]

"That's really unnecessary. Actually, Dreamland is quite interesting... Speaking of which, I can understand why bar patrons like to stay in bars so much; it's certainly nice to have someone serving you at any time. Hey friend, can I buy you a milk tea?" Chen Luo asked a passerby who had just walked by.

"Huh? You just say you'll invite me... well, then again, it's not impossible." The tourist next to him was about to say something when he noticed that the mirror in his hand was flashing, indicating that he had been asked to make a request.

Although tourists have lost interest in the game of asking each customer if they're interested in making a wish, no one will refuse a request that comes to them.

He accepted the 10 credits from Chen Luo. Although he would never have been asked to run errands with such a small amount of credits in the past, it was fine with the extra wish power he would gain from fulfilling a wish.

"See? It's so great to get something for free... But then again, it's really annoying not to be invited. I'm going to watch them have a good laugh!" Chen Luo put one hand on his hip and looked up at the airship in the sky.

Okay, okay, you're not including me in the game, huh? Then nobody should play!

"Thank you for your help." After taking the milk tea from the passerby, Chen Luo thanked him and disappeared from the spot.

After Chen Luo disappeared, the passerby rubbed his eyes for a long time, still thinking he was dreaming.

Then I suddenly realized that I was indeed in a dream.

Oh, that's okay.

That person must be an adventurer from Paradise, because only an adventurer from Paradise could appear and disappear so mysteriously.

"jingle!"

The wind chimes rang, and Chen Luo saw Black Tower rushing over.

"Chen Luo, Chen Luo, do you have any wishes that need to be fulfilled?" Black Tower asked anxiously, holding a mirror.

“This mirror of yours…” Chen Luo looked at the mirror in Hei Ta’s hand, hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong with my mirror? Isn't it the kind of wish-granting mirror you issue?" Black Tower tilted his head.

"...Why is it triangular?" Chen Luo asked.

"Is this strange? When the company delivered this mirror, they said that the initial shape of the mirror is always triangular, without exception. Is there a problem?" Black Tower asked, puzzled.

"Oh, I see. So this mirror was a holiday gift from the Strategic Investment Department, right?" Chen Luo suddenly realized.

"That's right, what else?"

"I didn't expect them to actually bring a mirror as a gift; it's a good choice." Chen Luo nodded.

When Chen Luo gave the mirror to Sha Jin and the others, he also told them that there was less than a day left before the park would be distributing free mirrors in Pinocchio.

So how can we maximize the value of these mirrors, which are precious and valuable today but will be commonplace tomorrow? The answer is simple: give them as gifts!

Just look at the Black Tower's excited expression, even though they're currently lagging behind in information, and you'll know just how correct this decision was.

"Black Tower, if I may ask, after you received this mirror, you didn't sign any strange or unusual contracts with the company, did you?" Chen Luo asked.

"Not yet, but we're about to sign. I feel the company is quite sincere. It's just a bit strange... Chen Luo, why didn't you think of posting a link in the bar group first when you had something good?" Black Tower said.

"So you came?"

"So I came."

"You didn't show up at the bar all day yesterday, what were you doing?"

“We’re studying the imaginary impulse theory we got from Chadwick,” Black Tower said matter-of-factly.

Since Chen Luo created the Wish Star God, the power of wishes seems to be able to help him with his research. So, after the Black Tower asked Chen Luo for a portion of the power of wishes, it locked itself in the laboratory to devote itself to research, trying to crack the theory of imaginary pulses as soon as possible.

Experiments that obtain results directly through the power of wishes are soulless, but if you do it yourself, then there's no problem.

"So you know this thing is everywhere in Pinocchio?" Chen Luo asked, pointing to the triangular mirror in Black Tower's hand.

"...I just found out."

"Did you know that you can actually get a hexagonal mirror for free in a bar? And it's even a custom-made version?" Chen Luo asked.

"...I just found out. I knew it was strange. It doesn't make any sense that something so valuable belonging to the Wish Star God would be obtained by someone from the company first." Black Tower nodded somewhat belatedly.

Black Tower is a genius, but it's normal that he doesn't know anything since he just came out of the laboratory.

"...Don't you chat in the group?" Chen Luo retorted.

"What's so interesting about online groups compared to research and problem-solving? What serious scholar would engage in online groups?" Black Tower said, arms crossed.

“That’s true, the thought processes of you scholars are indeed quite different from normal people. Anyway, how about we pick out a hexagonal mirror first?” Chen Luo asked.

"No, no need. This most ordinary mirror will do. I want to use this most ordinary mirror to upgrade it step by step to the highest level, and then study the mirror's special properties in the process, until I can successfully study the mysteries of the Star God!" Black Tower said excitedly.

For scholars, it is not necessarily true that the higher the grade of an item, the better.

Witnessing the transformation of this item from a low-level to a high-level one is even more important.

"Isn't the Star God of Wishes standing right in front of you? Wouldn't it be faster to study me than to study this mirror?" Chen Luo opened his arms and introduced himself to the Black Tower.

"Heh, what do you, Chen Luo, know about the Wish Star God?" Black Tower gave Chen Luo a disdainful look.

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

"That's exactly right! Chen Luo, do you now understand how a Star God is born? Do you understand the universal requirements for becoming a Star God? Do you understand the specific variable relationship between becoming a Star God and failure?"

"……clear."

"See? You don't understand anything. You just rely on brute force to create miracles. Besides, as an outsider, your research is actually of no help to our research on the Star Gods. Instead of studying you, we should use your power to study other Star Gods and explore their mysteries. With the help of this mirror, the accuracy and realism of the simulated universe project can be greatly increased, and the project can be advanced much faster." Black Tower kept rambling on and on.

As a scholar, Heita could easily understand the significance of the power of desire, this almost omnipotent special power, for research. Isn't this the legendary endless energy or perpetual motion machine?

Let heroes fight heroes, and use the power of the Star God to study the power of the Star God...

Theoretically speaking, the power of wishes can indeed directly reveal the secrets of the Star Gods, but only if there is a sufficient amount of the power of wishes.

When the quantity is insufficient, one must also learn to use it flexibly.

The nature of a virtuous person is not different; they are good at making use of things. This is the awareness of Black Tower as a member of the genius club!

"..." Chen Luo kept looking at the Black Tower, who seemed unable to understand human speech, as he recounted his lofty ambitions.

Do you want to think about what I just said?

"Speaking of which, if Black Tower was able to obtain the Wish Mirror, does that mean that the people who received the mirrors that Sand Gold and the others sent out in advance are all difficult yet geniuses like Black Tower? If so, it's necessary to monitor the whereabouts of those mirrors," Chen Luo thought.

If nothing unexpected happens, Screw Goom, Ruan Mei, and Stephenson, who hasn't shown up yet, should also have obtained the mirror.

The difference is that Sand Gold and his group knew that these genius club members were all connected to the bar and might have known the news in advance, so they didn't have much hope of getting much benefit from them.

They gave the mirrors as gifts to prevent these geniuses from becoming angry because they didn't receive them.

I can refuse, but you can't not send it...

Who knows if there are any geniuses who are so capricious?

It's always good to be prepared, since these mirrors won't be worth anything after today anyway.

Furthermore, Oswaldo, the biggest rival of the Strategic Investment Department and the Market Development Department, is busy chasing an invincible cowboy, so Sand Gold and his team only need to make sure they don't make any mistakes.

It's enough to not make mistakes and wait for others to make mistakes.

That damned Oswaldo has been acting like a jerk all day; he's finally met his match, hasn't he?

"Um, wait, Chen Luo, what did you just say?" Black Tower suddenly stopped, her hand, which was constantly recording inspiration on the mirror, paused, and she looked up at Chen Luo.

"...Wait a minute, let me take this doll apart. I want to see if your reflex arc and neural arc are connected incorrectly." Chen Luo grabbed the Black Tower doll's face and looked it over from side to side.

This isn't a wrong answer...

Or perhaps the Black Tower doll simply doesn't have the function of a contact line.

How come your reaction time is so long?

"That's not important. What's important is what you just said?" Because her little face was being pinched in Chen Luo's hand, Hei Ta asked impatiently.

"I said let me take you apart like a doll."

"No, last sentence."

"I said let me take you apart like a doll."

"Chen Luo, can't you understand me?!" Black Tower was about to explode.

"Haha, just kidding. Although the way I became a Star God is rather bizarre, actually... there really is a secret about Star Gods within the Imaginary Number Sacred Mark," Chen Luo said.

In other worlds, if Chen Luo wanted to find certain secrets, he might need to use the library's ability to search the Book of Akasha. But only in the Honkai series worlds can Chen Luo find the knowledge he wants directly in the Imaginary Number or Quantum Stigmata.

Although its drawback is that it cannot access facts that are still unknown from a god's-eye view, the Imaginary Stigmata does indeed record everything about the Star God.

At least this applies to everything before Chen Luo obtained the Imaginary Number Mark. After obtaining the Imaginary Number Mark, the content within it will no longer be updated in real time.

"Let me see, let me see, please."

"Hey, Black Tower, you actually need to ask for favors?"

"So let me see."

"No."

"let me see!"

"If you want to see it, then work hard for it yourself. There's no such thing as a free lunch, Little Black Tower."

“Speaking of which, your mirror does seem to have this rule: anyone who wants to have their wish granted must give the wish-granter a certain reward…” At this point, Black Tower looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.

"What kind of reward do you want?" Black Tower asked.

Black Tower remembered that before he went into seclusion, fulfilling his wish with Chen Luo wasn't this troublesome.

However, Black Tower believes that the current situation is actually more reasonable.

According to the principle of equivalent exchange, you have to give something in order to gain something.

For scholars, free gifts often mean a greater price to pay in the future.

"Black Tower, you're the Wisdom Commander, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Have you ever heard a famous quote from the God of Knowledge?"

"What famous quote?"

"Knowledge must be gained through suffering..."

"What...what do you want to do?" Black Tower was startled!

……

"jingle!"

"Chen Luo, I've come to find you..."

"Gurgle!"

"I go!"

As soon as Xing and Liuying entered the bar, they saw Heita rolling around on the bar floor, looking bored.

Meanwhile, Chen Luo sat nearby, resting his chin on his hand and watching the scene with great interest.

"Bang!" Xing slammed the bar door shut with a loud bang.
