Star Dome Railway, players all want to push me

However, a conflict with the Dream Master here would not determine the outcome of the battle.

"As you wish, I will leave here."

Avoid the sharp edge for the time being and be tolerant.

.......

Liumeng Reef.

After returning to Dream Reef, Gallagher looked at the Sunday in front of him who was still immersed in the past, and forced him to wake up from his dream.

Gallagher: "Wake up, little bird, this is no place to sleep."

Sunday was woken up in a daze by the noise and was still a little confused for a while.

How long ago was the last time you felt this way?

I remember it now, it seems to be the feeling when I first fell asleep as a child.

After confirming that he was still conscious and in good health, Sunday met Jia's gaze and asked, "I'm not dead?"

Gallagher's lips curled up into a smile: "Hmph, are you happy?"

However, Sunday didn't care about it at all. He didn't care why he didn't die, nor did he care what Gallagher wanted to do. He only had one goal now: "Tell me where the robin is! Now! Immediately! Right now!!!"

But this was also within Gallagher's expectations. "Oh, I knew your first reaction would be her. Your sister is right here. Don't worry, she's safe. She's probably still walking the streets, trying to calm everyone down. If I were you, I'd be more concerned about myself at this critical moment. After all, you're facing the bastard who just stabbed you in the chest."

Sunday: "If you really intend to kill me, you don't have to give me a chance to exchange pleasantries and tell me your intentions."

Gallagher: "You figured that out? No wonder you dared to go against the Dream Master and the four great families. That guy's vision really wasn't wrong."

Sunday wondered, “That guy?”

Gallagher snorted. "Hmph. It wasn't my job to convince you in the first place. That should have fallen on your sister or... Youyi. Unfortunately, those two had to deal with other things, so I had to find you. Admittedly, the setup you set up was quite time-consuming. By the time I got back, the crisis seemed to have been resolved."

Sunday: "You guys want to work with me?"

Gallagher: "Of course, you've seen through my 'fiction'. I don't have much time left, so there's no need to continue playing along with you."

Sunday: "Why do you think you can cooperate with me?"

One is the head of the Oak family, who will definitely take over the position of the dream master Gopher in the future and become the real leader of Pinocchio; the other is a running dog raised by the "watchmaker" who was kicked to this desolate place by his family like a stray dog.

The difference can't be said to be worlds apart, but it's hard to imagine that both of them live in Pinocchio.

If we have to say what we have in common, it is probably that we all have a bright future.

Gallagher knew he wasn't the most beautiful girl in the galaxy, but a scruffy thirteen-year-old. He couldn't rely on his appearance alone to convince others, so he directly brought up persuasive figures and information to enhance his persuasiveness. "Of course I can't do it, but that famous galactic singer Robin has chosen to stand on this side, and so has the Commander of the Star Express. Add to that the clues about the traitor in the family and the bright future of Pinocchio—does this special drink satisfy your appetite?"

"..." After a moment of silence, Sunday made his request: "Let me see the robin first."

"Okay, as you wish, she is here."

Gallagher looked at the intersection on one side and saw a familiar figure walking towards them. However, Sunday did not look happy at all, because this figure was not his beloved sister Robin at all. Not only that, but even the gender was wrong.

Sunday looked at Gallagher with a suspicious look in his eyes: "What are you playing at?"

Gallagher laughed. "Haha, just kidding. I mean, this gentleman will take us to see Miss Mockingbird, right, Youyi?"

Looking at Gallagher and Sunday, You Yi waved and said hello: "Seeing you two chatting so happily, I feel relieved. You are still alert today, Sunday."

Youyi's appearance eased the tense atmosphere between the two.

Receiving Youyi's greeting, Sunday hurriedly and politely replied, "Your Majesty, I am deeply relieved to see that you are safe and sound."

"You talk so creepy." You Yi got goosebumps all over his body. Why was his speech so unharmonious this Sunday? Instead, it gave people the feeling of being trapped in a set of rules and regulations.

After polite greetings, Sunday's main concern was still the robin: "I wonder where the robin is now?"

"She's safe now. Come with me. My partner has some questions that I need you two to answer."

Because Gallagher was too slow, Youyi, who was bored of waiting, chose to go directly to him. Fortunately, the other party had already completed the task of winning over Sunday, so he didn't have to waste time talking to him later.

It is more comforting than anything else to know that my teammates do not have Down syndrome.

Sunday felt relieved and excited because he could see the robin as soon as he heard it. He even wanted to roar right now.

Ah~! Robin!!

Under Youyi's guidance, Sunday soon got to see his long-awaited sister, Robin.

When he saw his sister was safe and sound, and was chatting and laughing with others, Sunday was in a trance: "Mockingbird..."

Hearing his brother's voice, the robin was in a trance: "Brother...!"

Sunday: "Mockingbird!"

Robin: "Brother!"

Sunday: "....No need to say more, I'm glad you're okay."

You two have a good relationship, but I don't know why, I always feel that if I let you continue shouting, you might shout Rasengan and Chidori.

The brother and sister who finally reunited naturally had endless things to talk about, so You Yi took the initiative to speak: "When family members reunite after a long separation, there is always endless things to talk about. Let's talk about our own things first."

"I agree." Walter nodded, then looked at Gallagher: "Mr. Gallagher has gone to great lengths to gather so many people together. I guess he has something important to tell you, right?"

Gallagher: "Wow, you guys figured that out, too?"

San Yue Qi was speechless: "You almost have the words 'mastermind' written all over your face! And do you know how long we've been waiting for you to come out and explain yourself?"

"Don't be angry, have a drink." Gallagher handed over a bottle of drink, temporarily calming San Yue Qi's mood. Then he looked around at everyone and said, "It's indeed time to make the announcement. You and Robin arrived first, so they know everything they need to know. You all came later, so I should take some time to answer your questions. But before I begin, let me introduce myself again - the founder of Liumengjiao, the deputy of the "Watchmaker", and the mysterious person who sent the invitation, the "fictional historian" Gallagher, greetings to you all."

After learning of Gallagher's true identity, March Seven immediately recalled the information Gallagher had told them before: "Good, you fictional historian, so everything you told us before was all made up!"

If half of what the Masked Fool says is false, and that their words are best understood dialectically, otherwise you'll fall into their trap, then there's no doubt that not a single word the fictional historian says can be trusted, because the intelligence and information they tell you may very well be fabricated by them.

The scariest thing is that, in order to verify the fictional information they have compiled, they will deliberately create some confusing things in reality to confuse you, causing you to really believe their lies. It is even possible that when everything is over, you will not even know that you have been deceived by the false information compiled by the fictional historians, and you will foolishly think that you have solved all the mysteries. After all...

Fictional historians are not masked fools. Masked fools will at least come out and laugh at you at the end when you have been deceived for a whole game, saying something like "Haha, look at this idiot, she really believed it," and then thank you for letting them see such good fun. Fictional historians, on the other hand, will only think that everything they fictionalized is too perfect, and then continue to make up those fictional things to deceive people.

"Um..." Gallagher was a little embarrassed and quickly defended himself: "I promise that the stories I told you before are all true, at least most of them are true."

Xing, who was standing nearby, noticed the blind spot and pointed it out: "What exactly is the majority? It can't be that the majority is less than 10%."

Gallagher: "Uh..."

Seeing that if this continued, Gallagher might fall into an endless trap of self-proof, You Yi took the initiative to step forward to rescue him.

You Yi said, "Xing, trust Gallagher. He is our companion and the deputy that the Nameless Guest trusts."

With Youyi's platform, others no longer questioned Gallagher's identity as a fictional historian.

Gallagher, having instantly solved a major problem, raised his hands and said sincerely, "I appreciate your understanding. Now we can talk openly. I'm sure you're all wondering why I went to all the trouble of arranging a war for the inheritance, inviting so many factions, and causing such unrest in Pinocchio."

Sanyueqi cooperated and said, "Yes, why?"

Gallagher: "The answer is actually very simple. The source of all this is very clear to everyone: it is the 'star core'!"

Hearing this, Walter questioned, "Star core? Pinocchio is clearly unobstructed and a well-connected interstellar hub. It doesn't look like it's been contaminated in any way. How could it be related to a star core?"

On the interstellar routes created by "development," some obscure substance disrupts the flow of imaginary energy. This phenomenon is extremely aggressive, and it continues to infect neighboring worlds in the form of mysterious objects called "stellar cores." Like cancer cells, it spreads throughout the universe. The Interstellar Peace Corporation calls it the "Cancer of All Worlds."

Planets with stellar core explosions often experience various disasters, and the star tracks connecting to the Milky Way will be blocked, completely cutting off the connection with the Milky Way.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the core of a planet explodes, it will basically cut off all contact with the outside world. This is one of the reasons why the antimatter army can always win.

The star core is an irresistible disaster for most planets in the galaxy. After losing the ability to seek help from the outside world, the antimatter army that follows the star core does not need to worry about the intervention of others and can destroy the planet with all their strength. Therefore, by the time people discover it, the planet has often been completely destroyed.

If Pinocchio had a star core, it would be difficult to invite so many people to hold a music ceremony, let alone send invitations to various forces.

Gallagher countered: "You're absolutely right, so take a guess as to what this means."

Xing immediately gave the answer: "Someone is manipulating the star core."

Gallagher nodded, confirming this statement. "Very perceptive, indeed, as the person most familiar with Star Cores here. Pinocchio's dream didn't just come out of thin air. If the Memory Realm is likened to the ocean, then establishing a dreamland is like filling the turbulent sea with earth and creating land. To achieve this feat, unless it involves the intervention of a "Memory" or "Mystery" Commander, the only way is to use the Star Core. Moreover, this isn't something that can be accomplished by simply making a wish. It requires a considerable level of knowledge, a considerable amount of time, and manpower to accomplish so flawlessly. So, you should understand..."

You Yi added, "Today's 'Celebration Star' is the star core disaster for the entire Asdena galaxy."

This news was undoubtedly a bombshell, causing ripples in the hearts of everyone on the Starry Sky Train.

Sanyueqi murmured in disbelief, "The Star of the Grand Gathering...is it the Star Core Disaster?"

"The story begins a long time ago."

Gallagher began to recount the story of Pinocchio: "After the Watchmaker and his crew liberated the Frontier Prison, they were at a loss as to how to build Pinocchio from scratch. Internal and external troubles were endless. It was then that someone set their sights on the Star Core."

"This star core fell into the Asdena system during the war. At that time, under the urging of the Nameless Guest, people gave up the idea of ​​being contaminated by this power. However, there were always people with ulterior motives ready to make a move. The turning point of everything happened after Tiernan's sacrifice."

"The deaths of two of the Nameless Traveler's companions forced the Watchmaker to embark on a pioneering expedition. This journey provided his rivals with an opportunity. By the time the family representatives from the Montor system responded to the Watchmaker's call and arrived, the star core had already been activated, infiltrating the primitive synesthetic dream."

For most people, things like star cores are too hard to refuse.

Although people know that this thing is not a good thing after the nameless guest’s appeal, how many people can resist its temptation?

Although there is currently insufficient research on stellar cores in the galaxy, the power it demonstrates alone makes it undeniable that it is called the "Holy Grail."

By accepting the star core, one can gain power and realize one's wishes. Although there is a question mark behind the realization of this wish and one has to be on guard against whether the star core will stab one in the back, this kind of power that can reach the sky overnight is like a thirsty victim in the vast ocean for Pinoconi, who was poor and had internal and external troubles at the time.

If you use the star core, you may die in the future when the star core explodes, but if you don’t use the star core, you may die now, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.

Ji Zi asked, "Does the family possess the knowledge to seal the star core?"

"More than that!" Gallagher's tone grew excited as he mentioned this. "The family's understanding of star cores surpasses that of ordinary people. They quickly helped Mikhail quell the civil unrest and joined the construction of Pinocchio under the name of 'Harmony.' That was the third epoch known as the Age of Dreaming. The 'Watchmaker,' who had been kept in the dark, extended an invitation to the entire universe, sparking a craze known as the Land of Dreams."

"So what happened next?" San Yue Qi continued, "How did they become enemies?"

Gallagher sighed. "Remember the metaphor of 'reclaiming land from the sea'? The truth is, the core has never been sealed; it simply exists in a different form, in a dream. Think about it: what is the price of building and maintaining such a vast dream?"

"It's life, little girl. This magnificent dream is built on spiritual death. The poisonous wine called happiness flows within the dream, causing people to become addicted. Their minds slowly flow towards the same destination, ultimately becoming the placenta of the dream. Confusion, laziness, cowardice... these weaknesses, which are ubiquitous in human nature, are magnified and nurtured by the family, turning Pinocchio into another kind of prison, one far more indestructible than the previous one."

"We discovered it too late. By then, our family had already gained omnipotence. Opponents were quickly controlled and expelled. With nowhere else to turn, I had no choice but to use the power of the 'mysterious' to hide in this chaotic realm of memory. I then spent years 'inventing' a meme in my dreams for our own use—'Slumber', that's its true name. Ordinary people can't fall asleep again in dreams, so we had the opportunity to exploit this loophole."

Today, the prosperity of Pinocchio is built on the lives of countless people.

If the family continues like this, sooner or later, this beautiful dream will turn into a greedy beast that eats people without leaving any bones.

"So, where is the star core now?" Ji Zi asked. Now that they knew the source was the star core, the rest of the things would be easy to handle.

Solving the star core disaster and sealing the star core is the main business of the Star Train.

Gallagher pointed at Sunday, who was talking to Robin not far away. "We should ask that Winghead kid. The Star Core has always been under the control of the family, and he is the face of the Oak family. He must know everything."

"Youyi, doesn't your arm vibrate when it gets close to the star core? In that case, can't we find the star core ourselves?" Xing felt that if he went to ask Sunday, he might have to come up with a lot of tasks, such as decrypting, answering questions, running around on maps, etc., so he should skip a level if he can!

"This thing isn't as useful as you think." You Yi smiled and shook his head. "After all, my detection is just the resonance between the two star cores. Now that the other star core is sealed, and the dream is filled with the aura of the star core, it is extremely difficult to accurately locate the star core in Pinocchio, unless..."

Xing was very curious: "Unless what?"

You Yi: "Unless I completely unleash the power of this star core in my hand and use it to mobilize the power of the star core in Pinocchio, but doing so will only make the situation worse."

Xing: "The Star Core has so many functions. I feel like mine isn't very useful."

You Yi: "They are just some minor functions that are not very useful. When I come back, I will teach you the techniques of how to make the star core resonate. That way, in the future, you will be able to lead the team to explore even without me."

Xing: "It's a deal!!"

Many of Youyi's functions really make me envious. Not to mention releasing the power of star cores to temporarily increase the power of my attacks, just the two functions of detecting star cores and using star cores to restore health and mana are enough to make me envious to death.

His star core was inside his body, but it felt like it wasn't moving at all, and it wouldn't provide him with any support at all.

"In fact, these techniques only contribute less than one percent to the true use of the Star Core. The true use of the Star Core is still..."

You Yi was talking when he suddenly stopped, because he realized that everyone was looking at him, waiting for his next words.

Just as they were getting excited, You Yi stopped talking. San Yue Qi couldn't help but urge him, "So, what is the true use of the star core? Tell me quickly! I'm so anxious!"

You Yi found San Yue Qi's impatience really amusing, and he couldn't help but want to tease her a little more: "If I say I'll keep it a secret, will you hit me?"

"What do you think?" Sanyueqi put her hands on her hips. She was ready. If You Yi dared to tell such exciting and important news again, she would definitely beat him into a pig's head, then freeze it with six-phase ice and make You Yi sashimi!

Ji Zi was also curious about this information: "Stop playing dumb. It's not harmonious at all to hide such valuable information and not share it."

"Alright, then I'll mercifully tell you." You Yi calmly explained the true purpose of the Star Core. "Star Cores can be used to break through human limits and limitations. For example, in a game, if your highest level is only 80, then using Star Cores can raise your level cap to 90 or even 100."

March 7: "..."

Walter: “….”

Gallagher: "...."

Jizi: “….”

star:"...."

Why didn't you tell me such important news earlier!!!

We have been traveling planet by planet on the Star Train, collecting countless star cores. Every time we bring them back, we just seal them up. And now you tell us that this thing can break the level cap!
