Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

Daydream Hotel.

People keep trying to reach the golden moment.

Some of them are from the same family lineage, and they want to find out the truth and quell the storm as soon as possible.

Some of them are enemies of the family, and they want to find incriminating evidence against the family in order to gain huge profits.

Some were just bored and curious travelers who wanted to be the first to know what was going on.

Suddenly, the golden moment opened up.

People with different ideas flocked in, but none of them saw the scene they wanted.

Tens of thousands of rays of light fell from the sky the moment they entered.

Like a dazzling meteor shower, each meteor found its own host.

People nervously checked their bodies and found that apart from feeling a little warmer, nothing had changed.

Although they could see that unusual little sun in the sky, there was nothing they could do except see them.

So people had to temporarily put aside their curiosity about the little sun and look at the surrounding streets and shops.

Unexpectedly.

Apart from the absence of staff in the shops and the somewhat deserted streets, everything here is exactly the same as before it closed.

The golden moment seemed to have happened, yet it also seemed as if nothing had happened.

Soon after receiving the news, Sunday ordered the family to clear the area again. After failing to find anything in person, they could only open the area to quell external speculation.

[Due to the accidental entry of a P45-level employee of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, Sand Gold, into Pinocene, a disturbance in the memory matter of the Asdna system was caused. The family responded promptly, shutting down the affected gold, and no one was injured.]

[The timing for the gold rush has been adjusted. Please feel free to visit.]

Everything calmed down.

No one was injured in the incident.

The golden hour, thanks to that dazzling little sun, has become a new must-visit spot in Pinocchio.

Countless travelers flocked to it, eager to receive the sun's bounty.

Besides, placer gold.

No one doubted the credibility of the announcement; the company's department, which read as "Market Development" but was actually composed of extremists who enjoyed plotting and sabotage.

……

Dreamscape, Morning Dew Mansion.

I stood in my study on Sunday.

On the table were a gold-plated leather bag and an ornate box, a translucent green jade, and a multifaceted, rhomboid golden stone.

"These are topaz and aventurine, gemstones that grant one-tenth of the power of the distillation order."

"It's hard to imagine that your colleague would entrust you with such a treasure. Ms. Toppa's trust in you is truly astonishing."

"You're a madman too, betting two cornerstones on a high-stakes gamble. Unfortunately, thanks to a discerning friend, you've lost everything this time."

On Sunday, he stood with his hands behind his back, his suit perfectly pressed without a single wrinkle.

Sand Gold glanced at the blue-haired philosopher to the side and said with some resentment, "Ladio, you bastard..."

Ladio remained calm and composed: "A necessary exchange. Your plan has already failed when you made a foolish display in the hall, so it's better to exchange it for something of greater value."

“Professor Ladio, the things you need will be delivered by members of the Oak family later.”

He said this on Sunday with a smile.

"..."

Ladio nodded slightly and stood aside to observe.

Tsk, what a boring trick.

Three cornerstones are used for high-stakes gambles, but what good will it do if you win?

But the outcome had nothing to do with him; he was just putting on a show.

Sand Gold looked at Sunday, seemingly giving up, and said, "Mr. Sunday, I admit defeat to your clumsy scheme, but it seems a bit shameful to use the company's reputation to quell the Pinocone controversy."

He brought three cornerstones: a golden topaz, a green jadeite, and a broken piece of aventurine.

He and Ladio worked together for mutual benefit; as long as he got the broken aventurine from the bag, his first-stage goal would be considered a success.

However, he absolutely did not want to take the blame for that golden moment!

He wanted to use this to deal with Sunday, but he never expected to fill the hole by himself!

"Is that so? No one can deny that the two cornerstones possess enormous energy, and it is not impossible for them to exert influence on the Asdna system."

He smiled modestly on Sunday.

For him, there was no better option in terms of cost-effectiveness.

This would prevent the company from launching any attacks and silence any internal dissent.

In the long run, it won't stand up to the company's investigation, but he doesn't need the future anymore; Taiyi's dream is about to unfold.

"But you should also know that the foundation stone needs to be carved out by the ten people of Stone Heart with their own will in order to shine brightly."

Sand Gold gritted his teeth; he was truly angry.

He's been unfairly burdened with this huge accusation, and even if he manages to reclaim Pinocchio this time, his merits and demerits might cancel each other out, leaving him with nothing.

Why did he bet on three cornerstones? Was it just for fun?

“That’s just your side of the story.” Sunday shook his head slightly and said calmly, “If you can find another possibility, I can consider reducing your charges.”

He was also looking for the mastermind behind it all; he was used to resolving all problems before they occurred.

With absolutely sufficient preparation, we will accomplish the great task of rebelling against harmony and restoring order.

As for the gold dust that has already been imbued with power, let this scoundrel savor the afterglow of defeat.

“Mr. Sunday, if you want to get anything done, at least give me some capital!” Sand Gold said through gritted teeth, as if grasping at the last straw. “You got the foundation stone, you withheld the gift money, and I’ve lost all my power and means!”

"Using bribery as a skill, you really are a lackey of the company." Sunday pointed to the briefcase on the ground and said with a flat sneer, "Take these cheap jewels and go find the mastermind you think is behind this."

"..."

Sand Gold grabbed his briefcase and walked out with a gloomy face.

With the foundation in hand, he was also aware of the internal troubles within the family.

Although there is a powerful third party involved, it does not necessarily mean that it cannot be taken advantage of.

He made a significant contribution by opening the door to Pinocchio for the company and finding the key to the golden moment.

All or nothing!

Bet!

……

And at the same time on the other side.

Golden moment.

The robin stood on the bustling street, her powers of harmony affected internally, and she was even unable to use them to conceal her appearance.

She looked up at the sky, and was also blessed by that little sun.

But this warm light wasn't what she was looking for; she was looking for something that made Pinocchio feel out of place.

Just then, a thirteen-year-old man wearing a burgundy suit slowly walked over.

“Miss Robin, you seem a little confused.”

Gallagher looked melancholy and said in a magnetic voice, "Perhaps dying once can help you find the answer."
