I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief, revealing an expression that said, "I survived."

Seeing Galaxy Bat Man's exaggerated reaction, Firefly shrank back.

Is it really that bad?

"Cough cough."

When Xing was alone with Hua Yi, she spoke frankly, complaining about the significant difference in the delicate texture between oak-wrapped cake rolls and regular cakes.

But since it's about meeting newly made friends—

Despite Xing's usual unreliability, she can be dependable when it comes to things. She won't belittle the snacks that Liu Ying clearly likes.

"I wasn't prepared and took a big bite. Next time I'll just take smaller bites."

This answer left Firefly stunned in surprise.

Xing is so good at talking now?

He learned it from Hua Yi.

It's clear that Xing's every word and action is influenced by Hua Yi, and he has already taken on Hua Yi's style.

Well, these are all good changes.

Hua Yi took good care of Xing, making her happy and helping her grow.

Flowers nurtured in a greenhouse also understand the cruelty of storms; behind the glamorous facade, there is always gloom.

It's practically an ideal development.

"Shall we rest after we finish eating?"

"What's there to rest? Hua Yi and I are full of energy, let's keep shopping!"

After leaving the Audemars Piguet shopping mall, walk through the bustling streets and arrive at Watch Boys Plaza.

This is a spacious public rest area with complete green facilities, which is much more leisurely than the bustling shopping street.

In the center of the square stands a cartoon statue whose style is clearly different from that of a normal person.

"This is Pinocchio's famous cartoon character, Watch Boy."

What a strong sense of déjà vu! Isn't that Mr. Mi... Mr. Mi?

"It comes from Pinocchio's oldest and most famous cartoon, telling the story of the Clockwork Boy and his friends' adventures in Dreamland."

"Won't this image pose a copyright risk?"

"Huh? Risk? Why?"

The fireflies were puzzled.

"The Watch Boy is a household name in Pinocchio, and it is said that his prototype is that watchmaker, the father of Pinocchio—no one knows the watchmaker's background, but everyone wants to replicate his success."

Therefore, when the major powers suddenly received the invitation from the [Watchmaker], even if they felt it was deliberate, they all sent people to visit Pinocchio.

They wanted to find clues about the watchmaker, to ascertain his identity, and to obtain his wealth...

Superpowers like Interstellar Peace Corporation see Pinocone as a prize, and even though the five major factions have already pledged allegiance to the [family], they still want to find a way to take it back, at least to get a piece of the pie.

Other small and medium-sized forces also have their own interests and calculations.

Just as Hua Yi was about to continue talking to Liu Ying, he suddenly noticed Kai Tuo's unusual activity.

Hua Yi's thoughts stirred up waves as he slightly moved about this fate that he was already quite familiar with.

Then the Clockwork Boy statue suddenly came to life.

"Wow!"

Xing let out a surprised sound, clearly having seen the Clock Boy move, while Liu Ying did not react at all and was completely unaware of it.

"what's wrong?"

"Didn't you see? Clockwork Boy can move!"

"No, the statue is still there."

In the fireflies' eyes, the Clockwork Boy statue remained motionless.

She thought Xing was joking, but when she noticed that Hua Yi was also looking in the same direction, she immediately believed that they had seen something she couldn't.

Having met for less than a day, Liu Ying also placed great trust in Hua Yi.

"What's the situation now?"

"The watch boy came to life, took out a pocket watch, and merged with the wristwatch I just bought. Now it has two forms: it can be worn on the wrist as a wristwatch or used as a pocket watch."

Hua Yi was talking to Liu Ying when the clock boy popped out and nodded repeatedly, circling around Hua Yi and explaining in an exaggerated tone that only appears in animation.

"Friend, friend, you can see me! I have a feeling you will be able to learn the clock trick—can you feel the power flowing through your body? If you use it well, you can gather good emotions and pour them into others, changing the attitudes of bad people."

“There are no bad people around me.” Hua Yi felt the rhythm of fate.

"It's alright, you'll need it sometime. Welcome to Dream Town, my friend! I hope the Clock Trick can help you defeat the bad guys and protect Dream Town!"

The Clockwork Boy suddenly appeared; he wasn't as big as the statue, and his height only reached his knees.

It looks harmless, a typical mascot.

But he was doing the work of the village chief in the hero's story, giving Hua Yi "the best sword in the village," [the clock trick].

Like a game NPC.

"Friends, friends, make good use of this power, and then have fun with your friends in Dream Town!"

When the Clockwork Boy's melodious animated voice faded, it waved goodbye to Hua Yi and Xing, who could see it, and disappeared with a whoosh.

As quickly as it comes, it goes as quickly as it comes.

Xing was left completely bewildered.

Hua Yi was not confused.

Dream Town corresponds to Pinocchio, and Clockwork Boy can temporarily be regarded as the village chief.

Village Chief (Version).

“Um—” Firefly looked at the statue again, “Is Clockwork Boy still talking to you?”

"It has already left. Before it left, it wished us a good time."

Chapter 543 Sambo's Great-Aunt, Fireworks

The Watch Boy taught Hua Yi a special ability: [Clock Tricks].

It can change the target person's emotions.

At first glance, it sounds like hypnosis and can easily lead to wild fantasies. In reality, the range of emotional changes is not very detailed, and it can be divided into four types: calmness, anger, joy, and sadness.

Xing has also learned it, but she needs to take Hua Yi's wristwatch and turn it into a pocket watch before she can use it.

Galaxy Batman scratches his head.

It feels like something's missing—lust. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used the clock trick on Hua Yi...

Remembering how he had always lost to Hua Yi in previous battles, Xing Meng shuddered.

Wrong, you're thinking in the wrong direction!

The Clockwork Trick lacks an energy buff; it's unclear whether using it on oneself at certain times would bring any joy.

Hmm, it seems like it might have the opposite effect?

Then change it to calming down and improving stamina.

Or, instead of being filled with resentment, turn grief and anger into strength and launch a desperate counterattack!

Xing's big eyes darted around, her mind full of strange and wonderful ideas, she didn't use her brain for anything worthwhile.

"Can we... still go shopping?"

Firefly couldn't see Clock Boy, nor did she quite understand what was happening.

She just wanted to cherish this time together as much as possible, to keep the trip together, and not let it end abruptly due to some unexpected event.

The girl looked pitiful, and Hua Yishuang nodded.

"Of course, Pinocchio's mascot is wishing us a good time, so we have to have a blast."

Great!

Although Liu Ying didn't say the word aloud, her sudden burst of energy was evident in her expression as she shouted "Yay!"

Hua Yi took out his phone.

"Shall we take a picture first, and then continue shopping?"

"Uh-huh!"

Click.

With Hua Yi at the center, Liu Ying and Xing stood on the left and right, completing the group photo.

One isn't enough, take a few more.

First, Xing struck a series of poses, sometimes hugging Hua Yi's arm, sometimes leaning on his shoulder. Then Liu Ying was also influenced and felt that they should try more poses.

Of course, she couldn't be as unrestrained as Xing in touching Hua Yi inappropriately.

Making a peace sign or putting her hands on her hips, striking a slightly smug pose, is how fireflies react when they're overjoyed.

Take your photos and continue browsing Dream City.

Directly in front of Clockwork Boy Plaza, through the railings, and beyond the skyscrapers in the dream that no longer follow the rules of physics, one can see the giant building floating in the air.

Pinocchio Theatre.

Its unique outline tells a story of how, in reality, it was once the central prison of the Asdna system. Later, the family renovated it in a dream, and it became the magnificent theater it is today.

"This grand celebration will be held in the theater, where family members will gather to welcome the Qi Xiang Choir and bring lasting peace to Pinocchio."

The Choir of Qi Xiang belongs to the [Harmonious Strings] and is one of the incarnations of the god of harmony, Hipe. Some forces in the universe believe that the Harmonious Strings are the same as the Harmonious Commander.

Hua Yi gazes out at the Grand Theatre.

"It's going to be quite a spectacle then."

“Yes,” Firefly nodded. “If we don’t receive an invitation and can’t get into the theater, it’s a good idea to use the binoculars here to get a general idea of ​​what’s going on.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Yi smiled and took a few more photos as a memento.

Continuing your stroll along the street, you'll reach Adien Park, a recreational area funded by Sulphurda, where eye-catching features include soda bottles that spray out carbonated beverages.

"Someone is following us."

Liu Ying walked to Hua Yi's side and whispered a reminder.

“I spotted her at the Aude Shopping Center earlier, but I wasn’t sure what her intentions were. Now it seems that she was definitely following me on purpose.”

"Oh~"

Hua Yi was not in a hurry to find the person who was following him.

"You're very vigilant, Firefly. That's right! A pretty girl should be careful when she's out and about."

"Let's talk about that guy who was following us. He had black twin tails, pink eyes, and was rather short..."

As the firefly was describing the situation, the stalker came running up.

"Lord Hua Yi, I never expected to meet you here, great hero!"

Following the clear and melodious girl's voice, a girl with black hair and pink eyes, whose figure was on par with Qingque and Heita dolls, and whose appearance was also beautiful and lovely, was looking at her with sparkling eyes, overjoyed to see her idol.

"I'm just an ordinary citizen of Belleburg. Hanabi, I never expected to meet you here. I'm so lucky!"

Hanabi clenched her little fists, so surprised she almost jumped up on the spot.

"So you're from Winter City." Hua Yi quickly accepted this identity, feigning sudden realization. "Then we're quite destined to meet."

"That's right~"

"Pinocone is separated from Belloborg by countless galaxies. Winter City has just ended its disaster and is preparing to embrace the starry sky, yet people have already come here."
