Star Dome Railway, I am surrounded by strange things!

Aha's laughter became louder and louder, and the vibrations of his knuckles and the mask in his hand became more and more intense. In the end, he even used his huge hands to hug Jiang Yan tightly, scaring Jiang Yan so much that he almost lost his soul.

This guy is really a lunatic!

It is not uncommon for star gods to glance at humans. The Lord of Knowledge will even arrange an audience with humans, but who has ever been hugged by a star god?

Help me, Boss Digong, can you please save me since I have a Luofu household registration?

Boss Nanook, can you please keep me in check for the sake of me being the family member of your capable subordinate?

Boss Amber, for the sake of our mutual liking, could you please give this lunatic a hammer? If you don't take care of him, I'm going to go crazy too!

Jiang Yan's trembling body made Ah Ha's laughter even more deafening. After a long time, he let go of Jiang Yan, put his hands on his chest, and bowed solemnly.

"I'll give you a reward, I'll play pranks on you, I'll make it even more fun for you, I can't help it, sorry."

After saying that, he took out a broken mask from his bosom and threw it directly into Jiang Yan's hand. In a tone that was a mixture of endless joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and countless complex emotions that Jiang Yan could not understand at all, he said to him:

"Let's make the universe more interesting!"

The next moment, the space where Jiang Yan was located shattered into pieces, turning into an endless ocean of imaginary force, which instantly swallowed up Jiang Yan, who was like a leaf compared to it, and rolled over countless times along the "ocean current". In the blink of an eye, he no longer knew where he was.

When Jiang Yan woke up again, he found himself back in the cold Eternal Winter Ridge. Only the broken mask in his hand proved that all this was not an illusion.

What's going on? A psychopath gave me a certificate of insanity? Am I a psychopath now?

Jiang Yan was shocked and quickly reviewed his three views carefully. He found that he had not become a person who was eager to have fun and was in good health both physically and mentally. He breathed a sigh of relief and finally had time to check the mask given by Aha.

Looking at the broken mask in his hand, Jiang Yan just wanted to complain whether this God of Fun was too stingy?

To say Jiang Yan had no expectations after meeting the Star God would be a lie. After all, everyone in Luofu knew that even though Master Taibu hadn't walked the path of "intellect," he had still been gifted the Dharma Eye after meeting Master Boshi. Since then, his divination skills had skyrocketed, and he was now second to none in the Immortal Boat Alliance.

Jiang Yan had hoped that Aha would bless him with a blessing or a cool special move for his good work. The god even hugged him personally, raising his expectations to the maximum. But in the end... he only received a mask, and a broken one at that?

Could this battle-damaged mask be some kind of rare item?

Of course, Jiang Yan was not stupid enough to put the mask directly on his face. Instead, he carefully drove the power, trying to activate the power contained in the mask.

Soon, this power responded to its call, and an ether coin composed entirely of imaginary force appeared in Jiang Yan's hand. It then turned into a glove, a cotton hat, and a scarf. More importantly, Jiang Yan did not feel any power consumption, as if this mask was connected to a wormhole and he could draw endless power from it.

I'm sorry, Lord of Joy, I spoke too loudly just now. You are the most generous Star God I have ever met!

Infinite power? Doesn't that mean invincibility?

Excited, Jiang Yan quickly opened his portable terminal. After telling his friends that he would attend the celebration party later, he found a hilltop where not many people were. He began to enthusiastically test the characteristics and methods of exerting the power of "joy" in various ways, and soon his eyes were opened.

The power of "joy" fully inherits the characteristics of Ahaha, and can easily change or transform strength, matter, and even its own unreasonable changes into various forms and shapes. It can even leave everything completely to the unknown for the sake of show effects, allowing the target to change into a random form or move to a random location.

Of course, the greater the degree of change, the greater the force required.

The more he tested, the more excited Jiang Yan became. Although this free power might not work in a head-on fight, it was invincible when it came to playing dirty!

When fighting an opponent of the same level, who can withstand the pranks of the Masked Fool who keeps holding them back?

Just as Jiang Yan was having more and more fun, and was about to turn a hill into ice cream to test the limits of this mask, a blue figure suddenly came running towards him from the bottom of the mountain, crawling and rolling. While climbing the mountain in an extremely awkward manner, he cried miserably:

"Have mercy! Have mercy, I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

--------

An hour ago, Rivet Town

In an abandoned tavern, Giovanni, the "war criminal" who turned tens of thousands of people into ethereal spirits, was drinking and chatting with a "tavern companion" who looked half-dead.

"Brother Sambo, for the sake of this perfect feast, I must remind you that while making yourself a source of amusement is a good show, it's not something a fool should do. If the other brothers in the tavern get addicted, you won't have another mask to use."

As the one who had truly paid the price for "inviting the gods," Sambo had recently paid a huge price to retrieve the mask, which had now completely disappeared after being shattered. Now, he was like a salted fish, his chin resting on the table, weakly pouring the wine from the glass into his mouth. After a long moment, he said weakly:

"The more happiness reflects human dignity, the higher the level of happiness. Who can say that fun that comes from within isn't fun? Isn't that right, Brother Giovanni? At least you enjoyed this scene with Sambo, too!"

However, in response to Sambo's explanation, Giovanni simply raised his glass and shook his head:

"How can a man-made play be more captivating than a 'happy' ending that unfolds naturally? Brother Sambo, your talent in this area is far inferior to that of this starring actor. Most of the applause from the brothers and sisters in the tavern is not for you."

Facing Giovanni's evaluation, Sambo shook his head helplessly, staring at Giovanni, and advised earnestly:

"Brother Giovanni, if you don't want to end up like me, Sambo, I advise you to stay away from this 'starring actor'. He's not someone we're qualified to invite as a star."

However, Giovanni disagreed and said:

"Don't worry, I just want a front-row seat for the upcoming Pinocchio drama. After all, 'that one' is already eager to make her debut, and I don't want to steal her spot."

Having just suffered a great loss at Giovanni's hands, and about to become a "surplus actor" and "prop", Sambo said with a bitter face:

"Alas...at least now, it's time for me, old Sambo, to take my leave. Goodbye Pinocchio, Brother Giovanni."

After saying that, Sambo was about to leave, but suddenly he felt that the power he had lost suddenly returned to his body. While he was surprised, he found that the power that had just returned was inexplicably connected to a distant existence, and the other party was using his power without any hindrance.

How is this possible? Someone remotely using the power of one's destiny? Is this scientific? Is this joyful?

Well, that's fun, that's all right.

Sambo immediately understood that this was because he was a fool. After inviting the adult to watch a play, he did something that was not "joyful" at all. Although he successfully made the brothers and sisters in the tavern have fun, he did not satisfy the adult, and was personally punished by the adult.

What to do? Just leave it alone!

The massive frozen antimatter army turned into ethereal spirits. Although it did not completely resolve the catastrophe that befell Yarilo-VI, it at least allowed them to obtain the "happiness of human dignity". It was natural that they should pay the necessary price.

So Sangbo honestly sensed the resonance of his own power, and searched for a needle in a haystack in the snowfield for a long time. Finally, before he was drained dry, he found Jiang Yan holding his mask and wantonly wielding his power. His face immediately became extremely bad.

Anyone would be fine, why him again?

Sambo seemed to have heard the laughter coming from the "tavern" and imagined his own tragic fate.

Giovanni was right, people who are fun shouldn't be fun.

However, at this point, it was too late to say anything. Sambo had no choice but to put on a bitter face and prepare to be the number one clown in the "tavern" for a long time to come, and be collectively "chased by the drama":

"Mr. Jiang, long time no see. Please show mercy! The mask in your hand belongs to Old Sangbo. If you keep using it, Old Sangbo will become a corpse!" When Sangbo saw Jiang Yan, he pounced on the snow like a tiger and begged for mercy pitifully.

Looking at Sambo lying on the snow like a giant caterpillar, and feeling the aftermath of the power that the other party seemed to be emitting as proof, Jiang Yan was stunned.

What's going on? Can even the power of destiny be used for payment transfers? This is so unpleasant, ah no, too joyful!

Seeing that this plastic teammate he had met during the treasure hunt in the ruins was about to be turned into a ball of dehydrated kelp, Jiang Yan was of course embarrassed to continue testing the power of destiny. He quickly helped him up and couldn't help but complain:

"Mr. Sambo, you are very secretive!"

Jiang Yan, who had originally thought it was a perpetual motion mask, naturally didn't hold back when testing it. He lost nearly an hour of his skills, believing he would have been a corpse by now. And this guy, who had once disguised himself as an ordinary explorer with a pickaxe, actually had the power to use resonance to find him?

This strength, even if not as good as the envoy's, is really quite impressive.

What on earth did the Masked Fool, who was so powerful, want to do by approaching me without any dignity as a strong man?

Not only that, what role did this guy play in this shocking and cruel thing that Giovanni did?

Seeing Jiang Yan looking at him warily, Sambo knew that if he didn't give an explanation, he would definitely be thrown into prison as Giovanni's accomplice. With the other party holding his mask, he couldn't even run away. He had no choice but to raise his hands and beg for mercy:

"I confess, Old Sambo, I confess everything!" He quickly told more truths than in the first half of his life combined, explaining his purpose in detail.

Of course, in order to avoid being killed to silence him, Sambo would certainly not admit that he was almost scared to death by the breath of the Lord of Extinction and thus created the scandal between Jiang Yan and Bronya. He just said that he felt Jiang Yan's powerful "destructive" power and was worried that he was a spy of the Antimatter Legion to revive the Star Roar Army, so he came up with this bad idea.

When Jiang Yan heard that the guy in front of him was the instigator of the scandal that had troubled him for a long time, he wanted to immediately use his ultimate move and turn him into a mummy:

"It's you, bastard! Die!"

"Have mercy! I'm dying! I'm really dying!"

However, after the punishment, Jiang Yan didn't continue to be ruthless. After all, seeing the miserable state of Sambo before him, Jiang Yan couldn't ignore this lesson. This kind of behavior, when there is no fun to be had, has to create it personally. It's really too scary.

Although he hadn't invited Ah Ha to watch the show like this guy in front of him, but Ah Ha went to such great lengths to give him this mask, could it be that it was just to torture this guy? Obviously, it couldn't be!

If I don't let Aha see the fun, what will this psychopathic Star God, who can even do something as cruel as the transfer of fate power, do to me? No matter how you think about it, he will be even more miserable than this guy in front of me!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan's anger instantly subsided as if he was poured with a basin of cold water, and he began to think about how to satisfy this star god. However, even if he racked his brains, Jiang Yan still couldn't figure out why Aha did such a cruel thing.

As expected, the only person who can understand a psychopath is probably another psychopath. Jiang Yan had no choice but to suppress his anger for the time being. He tightly grasped the broken mask in his hand and said to Sangbo fiercely:

"If you don't want me to hand you over to the Interstellar Peace Company, then give me a reason to let you go!"

"Thanks to the big deal you and Giovanni pulled off, you're really valuable now!"

Oops, I've Been Caught by a Fool!: Chapter 144: Sharing the Spirit

Jiang Yan was not lying. As long as he was willing to hand over Sangbo, the "mastermind", it would be easy to exchange one or two resource planets for Luofu.

Even though Jiang Yan managed to fool the truly strong with the cruel task of "the loser becomes an ether spirit" in the name of "promotional experience activities", how could he possibly fool the truly strong?

Although tens of thousands of lives lost is not a big deal in this cosmic age where a natural disaster or man-made disaster can easily destroy a planet or even a galaxy, how could the Interstellar Peace Company accept being slapped in the face by the Masked Fool in front of the entire universe?

If you can tolerate this, do you still want to survive in the universe?

The power of the Interstellar Peace Company comes from the massive trade that is carried out at all times. The premise of unimpeded trade is by no means the great ideal of building walls, but the strength established by sweeping across many civilizations in countless trade wars.

That’s right, it’s just being strong, but it’s far from being absolute rule.

Therefore, many times it is not that the company likes to be aggressive and make extra enemies for no reason, but that the bigwigs on the board of directors know very well that once this dominance disappears, the company will not gain friendship, but will only collapse.

In this situation, how could the security personnel who have brought shame to the company and are now trembling in fear waiting for the internal ruling and evaluation not want to catch a criminal of a high enough level or even a scapegoat so that they can report to their superiors and explain to the outside world?

Although he is a native of Yalilo No. 6, Sambo, who often goes to the tavern for fun, is not a native who has been isolated from the world for seven hundred years. He naturally knows the nature of the Interstellar Peace Company very well. Once he is caught and exhibited all over the universe like a space monkey, and then has a public trial all over the universe, half of the people in the tavern will laugh to death, and he will lose face.

However, Sambo couldn't help but worry about how to convince the guy in front of him.

As for Jiang Yan, a dangerous individual who suddenly came to Yalilo No. 6 and possessed the aura of the Lord of Extinction, Sambo, after retrieving his mask, naturally mobilized his connections in the tavern to investigate him thoroughly, and even disguised himself and sneaked into Luofu and stayed there for a long time.

However, the more he learned, the more confused Sambo became about this completely illogical and bizarre existence.

There's something wrong with this person!

Although it was a bit unconvincing, or too convincing, for a Masked Fool to say this, Sambo really felt that it was a bit too outrageous for this guy who could cause unrest in the world with his own strength and a series of coincidences.

Sambo originally thought that Jiang Yan was the messenger or vanguard of Xingxiao's revival of the dormant legion, but later found out that it was Yalilo No. 6 who was trying to get ahead.

Later, Sangbo thought Jiang Yan was a chess piece left by Huanlong in Luofu, but later found that Luofu seemed to be too high.

If Nanook could cultivate such a person, Sambo would rather believe that he is Ahabenha.

If you have such talent, why don't you come to the tavern and serve under the Lord of Joy? Why practice martial arts?

Yes! He likes power, so just give him power!

Thinking of this, Sangbo immediately took out a beautifully crafted invitation and introduced it to Jiang Yan with a smile on his face:

"Don't be so heartless! Old Sangbo is still somewhat useful. Brother Jiang Yan, this is an invitation to the 'World's End' tavern, where we Masked Fools gather. With Old Sangbo's introduction, you'll be able to meet most of the Fools in the universe and master the power of 'joy' all to yourself. Isn't that much more useful than selling me to the company?"

However, facing the huge temptation proposed by Sangbo, Jiang Yan just waved his hand:

"Forget it. I just don't get along with you fools. Power is great, but if the price is turning me into the Lord of Pleasure or Giovanni, then forget it.

In this wonderful universe, destiny is not simply the result of strength, but the result of practicing a certain will.

If it was pure power, Jiang Yan would not refuse. After all, a huge power vat had already been opened in his body, and soon even the much more dangerous power of "breeding" would be introduced into it.

But gaining strength by fulfilling one's destiny is another matter... Jiang Yan doesn't want to become a mere pleasure seeker or a psychopath.

Sambo was of course aware of the reputation of Aha and the Masked Fools throughout the universe, as well as the various exaggerated rumors. Those rumors were certainly not false, and many of them were even somewhat conservative because the parties involved were reluctant to reveal themselves.

However, facing Jiang Yan's visible disdain and prejudice, Sangbo still said confidently:

"Brother Jiang Yan, in fact, the path of 'joy' can be said to be the destiny with the most paths forward. Almost every Fool has his or her own unique aesthetic of 'joy'."

"So, since you, Brother Jiang Yan, have been favored by the Lord of Pleasure, Old Sangbo believes that with sufficient reference, you can naturally find a unique path to 'pleasure' that you can accept."

After saying that, Sangbo rubbed his hands and looked at Jiang Yan expectantly:

"Brother Jiang Yan, what do you think?"

Wow, he is worthy of being called a fool, he can really fool people with his mouth. Jiang Yan admitted that he was really tempted after Sangbo proposed this plan.

How many people are willing to give up a shortcut that leads directly to the Star God?

Even among the top strong men, there are a lot of people who are willing to abandon their beliefs and reshape their values ​​just to get one step closer to the top of the mountain, not to mention Jiang Yan who hasn't even reached the halfway point of the mountain.

The final right of interpretation belongs to me, and that's fine! Since I am joyful, why should I change in order to be "happier"?

If this sentence came from a trustworthy and powerful person, Jiang Yan would have already started discussing how to build his own joyful aesthetics.

But unfortunately, the one who said this was the blue kelp in front of him. Even though his life was in his own hands at this moment, he could only believe a punctuation mark in the words of a fool even if the other party was dying. How stupid must he be to accept everything he said?

Faced with Jiang Yan's unmoved look, Sangbo also looked helpless.

When has the Masked Fool ever treated others with sincerity?

Not to mention the other party, even Sambo himself felt that he was too honest at the moment.
