Watching the movie! It brought a small shock to the heavens!

"Hehe, that's really interesting." Fireworks in the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World.

"? Sambo, how do you know about the galaxy?" Seele, in the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World.

"Oh dear! Old Sangbo was just making things up, it's all nonsense!" Sangbo, in the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World.

However, the script has been broken, and I, Old Sambo, am no old-fashioned. The new script is being rushed out by working overtime!

Before this, I still need to get involved in such a momentous event as the Sky Curtain.

"Looking for trouble? Even you think so? Doesn't anyone believe I really just want to make friends with them?"

[Sajin looked completely innocent and aggrieved as he spoke.]

"Hmph! Noisy fellows never make friends. A little tidbit: the Artini peacock is one of the worst-sounding birds in the universe, and your outfit makes you look just like a flamboyant peacock..."

As he spoke, Ladio noticed that Sand Gold's hands were empty, and said solemnly.

"...It seems this peacock's feathers have been plucked—its luggage was confiscated by the family?"

Sand Gold nodded helplessly, looking slightly dejected.

"Yeah, that guy in the gray suit confiscated it all—all the wedding gifts, and the box containing the [foundation stones]... Hmm? Which way are you going?"

Upon hearing Sand Gold's words, Ladio turned and walked towards the door.

This decisive and efficient manner clearly indicates they weren't going to the restroom.

Faced with the doubts about the gold dust, Ladio spoke frankly.

"Go home and tell the company that some idiot messed everything up."

Chapter 153 The Galactic Factions Reunite!

"[Foundation]...I see." Sunday, Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World.

"Um, could you please explain?" Xia Ling, from the world of Zhenhun Street.

"Of course, friend, it's a piece held by the 'Stoneheart Ten' of the [Cornerstone] Strategic Investment Department... well, you can think of it as a special item used to buff people." Honkai Starry Sky Railway World, Gold Dust.

"I see. But why do you seem so optimistic, Brother Sand Gold? Is it alright if the mission fails?" Zhang Chulan from Under One Person World.

"Haha, we'll have to see what the final reward is like then. I'll need all of you friends to help out then." Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Gold Dust.

In fact, as early as when Sand Diamond appeared in Pinocchio on the sky, he had already received instructions from [Diamond], the head of the strategic investment department.

No matter how grand Pinocene claims it is, it's still just the Asdna galaxy.

With gold dust appearing in the sky, this is a fantastic opportunity to promote ourselves to countless people around the world!

Now, a separate department has been established to beautify the various behaviors of gold dust in the sky in order to get higher scores!

They even went so far as to have people from different planets praise gold dust, using a large amount of information to create a cocoon, thereby exerting a psychological suggestion effect on people.

Other rewards don't matter; the company's goal is for Sand Gold to secure at least one shop on the Myriad Realms platform, and the bigger the better!

As one of the earliest figures to emerge, the company is determined to seize this unique and unparalleled opportunity!

"It's just a few stones, why be so pessimistic? What if they're gone?"

Sandstone, however, spoke nonchalantly, seemingly implying that Latio was making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Without that [aventurine], you're just a Tsiganian slave sentenced to death by the company—or is that [product code] around your neck also a gift from the Amber King?"

Ladio turned and coldly questioned Sandgold, who remained silent for a moment. At that moment, his magnificent attire seemed utterly worthless because of the clearly defined number around his neck.

"Slave? No, no, no, I mean no offense, I'm just a little surprised." Xia Ling, from the world of Soul Town Street.

"It's okay, friend, that's indeed the truth." Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Gold Dust.

"Wow~ I think I understand what Sand Gold meant by that." In the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Su Chang.

"'Having nothing, or winning everything,' Sand Gold must have had a tough journey." — Su Chang, in the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World.

“It’s tough!” Gui Naifen, in the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World.

"Ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of this!" Natsuki Subaru, Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-.

[Sajin paused for a moment, then his expression returned to normal, and he continued chatting and laughing.]

"...Oh, that's great, humorous! It seems our learned friend has prepared well."

"This is my job. Otherwise, how can a gambler win back Pinocchio for the company?" Ladio said matter-of-factly.

"Don't worry, Professor, I have plenty of ways. The family is afraid the company will cause trouble, so they're being confrontational at every turn... It's possible that Pinocchio was a conspiracy by [Tong Xie] from the very beginning."

"Harmony is inclusive. Anyone can come to Pinocone to enjoy a beautiful dream and rediscover hope for life!" (From the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Robin)

"If you ask me, that invitation was just a self-directed ruse; perhaps they wanted to do something outrageous at the Music Festival..."

"...Or perhaps the inviter was someone else, but they tacitly agreed, intending to use this as a pretext to set up an even bigger scheme. It doesn't matter; family or [the watchmaker's legacy], as long as they can be used to my advantage."

[After analyzing the gold mine, he concluded that everyone here is a complete novice!]

"Wow~ Brother Sand Gold is so confident!" In the Hundred Demon Records world, Peach Blossom.

"Get to the point, what's the solution?"

Ladio said, "Stop bragging! Let me hear your plan."

"There's no need to be so explicit now—it's not the time to reveal our hand."

Sand Gold shook his head in refusal, his eyes gleaming with confidence, which only added to Ladio's distress. He gave a soft snort.

"Damn gambler, cooperation is based on mutual trust—doesn't that come with preschool education in Tsigania?"

"Do you trust me?"

[The gold dust countered with a question.]

"That depends on your attitude," Ladio said coldly.

"So you don't trust me either, is that all? Besides, I'm illiterate, and my parents never taught me this—it's a shame they passed away before they could."

Sand Gold gently shook his head, his tone somewhat low, unlike his previous energetic and relaxed manner.

"...I meant no offense."

Ladio's tone softened considerably, and he realized that he might have unintentionally hurt the other person.

"Never mind, but they taught me [friends are the weapons of the Evikinians]—with [Harmony] watching us like a hawk, the more [friends] the better."

"Ladio would slap himself every time he woke up in the middle of the night!" Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Lu Xiaoyu.

"Ladio: I fucking deserve to die!" Under One Person World, Zhang Chulan.

"I have a strange feeling." Genshin Impact, Elhesen.

"Hmm, is this an overinterpretation? I have a feeling this conversation is a bit..." First Sequence World, Luo Lan.

"Incongruous?" Kaito Kuroba in the world of Detective Conan.

"Let me think... The Flowing Light Memory Court and the Starry Sky Train have already made contact. The Annihilation Gang... is probably out of the question. The Pure Beauty Knights are still uncertain whether they will attend. As for the guys at the [Tavern]..."

"...Oh, speaking of which, I just met a woman who claimed to be a sea patrol knight. I feel like something's off about her. Could you go and find out more about her for me?"

"Good heavens, almost everyone in the galaxy who's considered top-tier has gathered here: Preservation, Harmony, Memory, Exploration, Destruction, Purity, Pleasure, and even the long-lost hunters and seafaring rangers from the Immortal Ship!" Scott, in the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World.

"What the hell? Who did he say was a Sea Patrol Ranger?" In the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Potio.

"Hahahaha, next place, we will surely turn the land of dreams, Pinocchio, to ashes! Children, let's go!" In the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Afrit.

"?!" Even our True Lord Sunday in the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. With so many factions, a slight misstep could backfire!

Is this really something that Old Audi of the alfalfa family made?

Chapter 154 The Secret of the Sewers~

"Where is he?"

Sand Gold turned around, only to find that he was now alone in the room.

"Sigh...does he really hate me that much? Hmph, looks like I'll have to rely on myself after all."

Sand Gold sighed deeply; there were so many things to do.

"Those two really have a bad relationship; they left without even saying goodbye." Xia Ling, from the world of Soul Street.

"Ladio isn't one of Sand Gold's allies; it feels like he's just here to spy on Sand Gold." (The last part is a poetic expression of sympathy and a reference to a fictional character named Lü Xiaoyu.)

"It seems like everyone Sand Gold has come into contact with so far isn't very nice to him." - Xia Ling, Soul Street World.

[The scene shifts to a street where a beautiful young woman is strolling leisurely.]

A pair of quirky twin ponytails swayed gently with her steps, and a fox mask was pinned to her head.

Her upper body was clad in a tight-fitting, bright red outfit, like fireworks bursting in the summer night sky.

A water-boat ornament hung from her waist, its bells jingling crisply with each step.

The skirt swayed like a goldfish's tail, adding a touch of liveliness.

However, the girl didn't seem to be in a good mood; she walked with a somewhat depressed gait.

Suddenly, the girl stopped and said somewhat sullenly to those behind her.

"Hey, I have a question for you..."

"Is your way of attracting girls' attention to brazenly stalking them? That's been going on for almost half a system hour."

As she spoke, the girl turned around, and behind her, Sand Gold's figure appeared!

"To be precise, it was 45 minutes. Pleasant times always fly by, don't they?"

"Stalking girls? Peeping Tom?! Does gold dust have this kind of attribute?" Metata, Cupid's Chocolate World.

"Come on, this guy's style is clearly different from random passersby! He's probably someone Sand Gold is trying to win over." —Anonymous, from the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.

"...It feels like it's been ages since I've seen an idiot." Welcome to the world of Classroom of the Elite, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

"Oh yeah, I feel like there should have been a character like the 'black face' appearing at times like this before." (From "Great King, Spare Me," by Lü Xiaoyu)

"Hehe~" The Three-Body Problem world, Luo Ji.

"Hmph, little peacock...you have beautiful eyes. Are you from Tsigania?"

The girl strolled leisurely to the gold dust.

"Pfft, what an adorable height difference." Xia Ling, from the world of Zhenhun Street.

"?" Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Fireworks.

"Want some further hints? Like, am I an Evgeni?"

[Sajin spoke frankly, seemingly unconcerned that his information was known to the other party.]

"Hmph... My eyesight isn't as good as yours, but I'm not blind..."

Seeing the gold dust's current state, the girl put her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction and said sarcastically.

"—Who in the entire universe doesn't know you Tsiganians? Born liars, thieves, social butterflies… truly deserving of the name 'two-faced'."

[“If you ask me, you’re better suited to being under a manhole cover than in a dream… Ah, there’s one right there, go on!”]

"...This little girl has a sharp tongue." —Under One Person World, Xu Si.

"Why is everyone so critical of Sand Gold? It seems like no one has seen him do anything heinous!" Xia Ling, from the Soul Town Street world.

"The Sand Gold people's clothing practically screams money and gambling, making it hard not to think of them as outlaws. Add to that the girl in red, and the Sand Gold people's racial identity might not be so good?" Lin Chaoxi, Genius Basic Law World.

"This little girl's tone is just like when I'm teasing Akamaru at home..." Kiba Inuzuka from the Naruto world.

Sand Gold gave a helpless smile and said.

"No need. Dark corners don't suit my style. This dream world suits me better—frivolous, vain, and superficial..."

As he spoke, Sand Gold looked around at his surroundings.

The bustling city, brightly lit, shines like an ever-burning lighthouse against the backdrop of the night.

In the city, skyscrapers gleam with a dazzling golden light, and countless unique and quirky signs flash with vibrant neon lights!

The streets are lined with countless exotic flowers and plants, attracting attention wherever they go!

The entire city is permeated with an atmosphere of prosperity and splendor!
