However, during this waiting period, she still needs to meet someone, a person who plays a vital role in the future of Pinocchio.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

While Topa was thinking about this person, she happened to see him accompanying March 7, Dan Heng and Xing to visit the Hui Changshi, so she took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

Topa: "Hi, everyone from the Star Train, what a coincidence, you're here too."

March 7: "Topa?!"

Topa: "We're old acquaintances, no need to get so excited. Are you here because of an invitation from the Clover family?"

Dan Heng nodded: "Yes, the family invited us to visit the Hui Changshi."

Topa: "Oh? I just invited you to visit the Feldspar. I didn't mention anything else, like having a private conversation?"

Xing: "Why do people in your company always talk in a roundabout way? Just say what you mean."

Since people from the company came to him, it meant that there must be something to do, so Xing didn't bother to play around and just came straight to the point.

Topa was very pleased with this behavior.

"It's not a big deal, actually. I just hope everyone on the Star Train will not remain neutral in the upcoming meetings. That's all."

Chapter 199: Lack of Fantasy

"You shouldn't be talking to us about this kind of thing."

There was no extra leisure and elegance to discuss such business matters. Youyi, holding a bottle of original Suleda, rejected Topa who had already entered the working state.

As an unknown passenger on the Star Train, the place they should go to could be an adventure full of treasures, an unknown star field full of dangers, or a fake expedition written up by a masked fool and fictional historians, but the only place they should not go is an office full of intrigue.

At the thought of stepping into the office and starting work, even his steps became weak, as if every step was taken on a scorching desert. An invisible wind blew on him, over his body, depriving him of every bit of strength and every bit of spirit, until he became a dried-up mummy.

At that time, only the sweet rain called "holiday" can allow you to live your life again.

He didn't dare to continue imagining such a life.

Talking to the people at Interstellar Peace Corporation felt like going to work. They seemed keen on turning conversations into battlefields, speaking in obscure terms and seeking more benefits through words and actions.

Going to work is the most painful thing, and people don’t want to experience it even for a moment.

I couldn't imagine if I became the navigator of the Starry Sky Train in the future. Would I have to deal with this kind of painful situation that would be more despairing than fighting ten envoys? Fortunately, I'm not a navigator now, so I don't have to face these things -

"If you have any official business, please press 1 to contact Ms. Jizi. If you have any questions about visiting the Starry Sky Train, please press 2 to contact Mr. Walter. But if you plan to skip work and take us to play the exciting ride that is only open to VIPs at Pinoconni, then we can leave now."

"Oh, sorry to interrupt your happy time, but if you don't mind..."

"I'm very mind."

"How cold! I thought we had a good relationship."

"Talking about work during the holidays is a mistake. It's like when we were all happily playing ranked games in the dorm, and you insisted on irritating us with the piercing sound of flipping pages. You're a damned scab, and we're no longer friends."

Compared to the crisp sound of my friend's green axis and the angry roar of his teammate Tang Shier, the sound of turning pages of books was so slight that it was almost imperceptible, which was more unbearable.

While we were preparing to come to the Huichangshi to be academic parasites and steal the family tribute, you, Topa, my friend, were working hard here, preparing to secretly kill everyone.

io, Topa, are you going to replace Diamond as the new leader of the Stoneheart Ten?

"Little Yelina, the people on the Star Train have made tremendous efforts to resolve this crisis, which we cannot even imagine. Please don't disturb their rare rest time. In my opinion, you should also enjoy your vacation like Shajin."

On the deck of the Hui Changshi, a lady wearing a black hat with a blue lining called out Topa's real name, appearing particularly intimate. Her temperament was completely different from Topa and Sha Jin. She was charming but also had a hint of danger. Her black, blue and white dress was also quite exquisite. Her beautiful long legs were exposed, and the curves had completely left the girl's body and entered the realm of adult women. As if to show the nobility of her status, she was equipped with jade necklaces and pendants on her ankles and thighs.

Her appearance made Zhang Zhang, who was originally thinking that nothing would happen in the eating family, suddenly frightened and hid behind Topa like a fly. However, unlike Zhang Zhang who was afraid, Topa stood up straight with an expectant look on his face and his eyes were filled with unconcealable joy.

Fortunately, Topa is not Bu Liren, otherwise her tail would have been shaking like a windmill at this moment.

"Ms. Jade, long time no see. I'm honored to have the opportunity to work with you."

"You're still so reluctant. Forget about the superior-subordinate relationship and just treat me as your peer. Skip any unnecessary titles—like 'Ms.' or 'you.'"

"I'm sorry, it's still hard to adapt for a while. After all, you... you are a senior."

"It's not work time now, take it easy. But even if I told you to take a vacation, you wouldn't do it. You're just like that, a complete workaholic."

Jadeite and Topa are old acquaintances. Before Topa became successful, it was Francesco Debischi, the leader of the 166th Marketing Group under Jadeite, who introduced Topa to himself. It was also Jadeite who promoted Topa and gave Topa a broader platform and more opportunities, so that Topa could reach his current position at such a young age.

Therefore, although the two rarely work together, they have a very good relationship.

After briefly greeting Toppa, Jade looked at the group from the Star Train. "I've heard that the group from the Star Train possesses a sense of righteousness, wisdom, and courage. They single-handedly resolved the crisis at Pinocchio and prevented the return of Taichi, the Order. Seeing them today, I can see they are truly extraordinary."

"Why do I have a bad feeling?" Cold sweat broke out on March Seven's forehead. In the past, people who said these words to them basically had something to ask of them, especially the Shen Ce General Jing Yuan.

Unlike March Seven's cautious demeanor, Xing's tail was almost cocked to the sky at this moment: "More praise, I love to hear it."

"Hey!" Sanyueqi stamped his feet. "Why is it that every time someone praises you, I get so happy? No wonder you always fall into the hands of bad women."

"I guess you are Ms. Jade," You Yi asked politely.

"Oh?" Jade was surprised. "I didn't expect you to know my name. I'm really flattered."

"I have met you once before." In the preview of the new version of "Honkai Impact 3rd", Youyi and Feicui in the live broadcast were connected online and met each other, but they met in a villain way.

And that was in reality. The "jade" might just be a virtual image, so it is not accurate to say that you have seen it.

"What a coincidence! I think I've seen you there before."

As soon as these words were spoken, Feicui immediately felt that something was wrong. This dialogue pattern was just like the Qiong Yao dramas in the past of the Xianzhou Alliance. The first sentence was "I have seen this sister before", which seemed like harassment no matter how you looked at it, which made her speechless for a moment.

Fortunately, Topa came to her rescue in time, and she left with a sentence "Topa and I have some important things to do. I hope you guys on the Hui Changshi have fun."

"People in the company are so busy. It seems like there are endless meetings every day."

Watching Jade and Topaz being led into the conference room of the Hibiscus by the family waiter, March Seven began to reflect on life. "It's really hard to believe that anyone would enjoy meetings. If I were to talk to those important people, I wouldn't even need to speak. I'd just sit there and feel like stars were crawling all over my body, and I'd feel uncomfortable all over."

"Actually, you don't need to have a meeting. I can also let you experience what it feels like to have me crawling all over your body." Xing said suddenly.

"You're completely harassing me," Sanyueqi said helplessly, shaking his head. He looked at Danheng, who was enjoying the scenery, and Youyi, who was lost in thought, and asked, "It's a rare opportunity to be on a luxury airship. What fun things should we do next?"

"Go study the precious books on the Huichangshi." Dan Heng said.

"Don't be secretly competitive when everyone is getting ready to play!" March 7th instantly got furious.

"Dan Heng, you traitor to the pioneers, I now declare that you are expelled from the pioneer team." Xing crossed his arms across his chest, looked at Dan Heng coldly, and raised his little cat face.

The protests of his teammates dissuaded Dan Heng from studying the Alfalfa family collection. "Then let's go to the bow and take in the scenery. From high above, we can see the entire Pinot Grigio and the surrounding mountains. It's a good option."

"Youyi, where are you?" March 7 asked again.

You Yi smiled evilly: "Blow up this airship and add a touch of fantasy to the end of this Pinocchio trip."

March 7: "..."

Dan Heng: “….”

Xing: "Okay! I think this plan is feasible. I fully support it!"

"I don't agree with you!" Sanyueqi slapped Xing on the head, then shouted at Youyi in confusion: "Why would fantasy be related to blowing up airships?"

"In the past, the Joyful Star God Aha lurked on the Star Train for over a year. Finally, he saw the opportunity and blew up half the train and a planet into dust. Many people believe that because of this incident, Akivelli wanted to kill Aha. But is it possible that there is another interpretation? Aha didn't lurk on the train for over a year, but rather spent that time with Akivelli and the unknown passengers on the train on an exquisite and unforgettable journey. At the final moment of their separation, they felt that this journey was lacking a touch of fantasy, and so, with a loud bang, they parted ways."

Mortals may never be able to understand what the Star God is thinking.

However, the Star Train's think tank and various records indicate that Akivali and Ahaha are two of the Star Gods with the best relationship. Since they are such good friends, how could they easily blow up their friend's train, while the other friend turned a blind eye to it and did not settle the score at all?

There are many different answers to this question, but if Youyi were to answer it, perhaps the answer would be that this was a spur-of-the-moment event.

There was no premeditation, no planning, and no playing around, it just happened naturally - lacking a touch of fantasy.

"I can't understand why we have to blow up the train just because it lacks any fantasy elements?" Dan Heng asked in a bland way. He could vaguely understand what You Yi meant, but he couldn't quite grasp it.

"Because every journey in the world has an end." You Yi said seriously.

Xing was stunned for a moment, and pictures appeared in front of his eyes for no reason. After the end of the pioneering journey, Aha, Akivali and many unknown guests finally had to say goodbye. However, many people could not accept this result. They believed that the journey should not end here, and the road of exploration should be continued throughout their lives. Even if they became old ladies and old men, they should continue to travel on the road of exploration.

Life is always full of separations and regrets, just as the Milky Way is never gentle. If you simply cannot accept the departure of your companions and force them to stay on the train and continue the journey of exploration, is this a betrayal of exploration?

She didn't know, and she had never thought about this problem, because she didn't think the pioneering journey would end easily. She remembered everything about her companions clearly: Walter, who patiently recounted his past battle experiences on Earth in the light of the setting sun; Ji Zi, who brewed high-end coffee that she didn't know where she got from, but planned to kill everyone on the train; Dan Heng, who read think tank books; March Seven, who chased Pam to take pictures; and You Yi, who always seemed to have endless treasures hidden. No matter when, she could always get her favorite Xing Qiong from him. Every time when she felt that the staff meal was not to her taste, she could go to You Yi for a free meal.

She remembered very clearly that the first time she went to Youyi's place for a meal, his lunch box contained a delicious fried egg and barbecued pork rice.

But all this will end one day, and each of us will have to go on another path that may not easily intersect in the future to forge ahead and create our own lives.

What expressions will everyone show at that time?

Or would he just laugh it off, remark that the journey's end lacked a touch of fantasy, and suggest blowing up two of the Star Train's cars?

Xing rarely became serious: "It's a good idea, but it's a bit immoral."

You Yi spread his hands and said, "This is the practice of pioneering. The opportunity to blow up such a luxurious airship doesn't come every day. Don't worry, this is a dream. Even if the airship explodes, it won't endanger people's lives. It will only allow people to experience the thrill of free falling from thousands of meters in the air once more."

"But isn't it because of the protection of 'order' that Pinocchio's beautiful dream protects people from harm in their dreams?" March 7 said.

"Although I haven't become a Star God, I do at least have some control over the fate of Order. Before I depart, I can still allow this beautiful dream to enjoy a final moment of peace."

"Then where do we get the bomb?"

"Well..."

Youyi took out the button that Hua Huo had given him earlier and smiled mysteriously.

At this moment, on the Hibiscus, a family guard who was responsible for recovering the device released by the prankster, "Just press this button and the entire Pinocchio will be blown to the sky!" sneezed violently.

"Strange, why do I feel like someone is secretly watching me?"

"It might be my illusion, but I didn't expect that those little dogs in the family actually recycled all these buttons. If I had to press them one by one, I'd be busy forever."

"Never mind, keep pressing them. Once you're done, they'll be placed randomly on various locations on the Pleiades. This will give everyone, including the guys on the Star Train, a big surprise. I guarantee they'll all be stunned and cheer for Master Hanabi's wonderful performance!"

Chapter 200 Neutrality is not absolute, it is absolutely not neutral

Inside the Dream Bar.

The Clover family met with the company and also planned to invite Star Train to mediate.

Walter brought this news to the Pioneer Team. No one was surprised that the company would negotiate with the family, but they did not expect that the Alfalfa family would take the initiative to meet with the company.

"It was a message from the company's envoy, Gold Sand. He said it was a matter of reciprocity. It's actually not hard to understand. Pinocchio today is like the border prison it once was. The people and galactic forces are eyeing it covetously from outside, while the shadow of "order" is swirling within. Rather than being attacked from all sides, it's better to take the initiative and make concessions, inviting the company to the table for negotiations. In name only, it's a collaboration, but in reality, it's a way to secure more opportunities for survival."

"No wonder Topa came to us earlier and asked us to remain neutral." Dan Heng understood, then looked at Walter and asked, "In your opinion, which side should we stand on?"

"I don't think Tongxie is a complete victim in this incident. Regardless of the reason, they also have a strong desire to settle the matter peacefully, and the reason behind this is bound to make people speculate," said Walter.

"It's simply that the five families aren't nearly as united as the 'Ode to Harmony' sang. Their supposed 'unity of heart' is now little more than a slogan now that the Dream Master has lost his position and the Oak family has suffered greatly. Furthermore, old Odi of the Clover family is currently the largest force in Pinocchio. If Pinocchio's next Dream Master is to be chosen, old Odi, as the longest-serving and most experienced of the current family heads, is naturally a strong candidate. He needs to win over the company in advance, quell the chaos outside, and quickly gain control of the family... Tsk, the world of politicians is truly cruel. Gallagher, give me a glass of 'Glorious Glory of the Pioneering'."

You Yi didn't want to get involved in these messy affairs of his family and company at all. However, no matter how unwilling he was, these troubles would not let him go at all, as if it was his destiny to be entangled in them and unable to extricate himself.

There are already too many eyes on me in the galaxy.

"Even the dignified Star God of 'Order' is troubled by such things? Indeed, after all, you can't tell who is awake and who is feigning sleep. The brilliance of human nature will certainly make them open their eyes when they are at their wit's end, but they will also return to the embrace of their dreams after the danger has passed. This is human inertia. Five cups of 'Pioneering Brilliance', salute you all."

Gallagher personally prepared five exclusive drinks and served them to the train crew. Of course, except for Walter's drink, none of them had alcohol in them. Although it was a bit strange to drink non-alcoholic drinks in a bar, one had to take care of the children. After all, there would occasionally be some curious and excitement-seeking children coming to the bar.

Seeing Gallagher appear, Xing was startled as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight. "Why are you here too?"

"What are you talking about? This is my friend Shu Weng's shop. She went back to the Iris Family to deal with some things, so I'm here to help cover for a few days." Gallagher said lazily.

"No, no, no, what I mean is, how are you still alive?" Xing remembered that Gallagher had clearly said that a fictional historian would disappear after his true identity was revealed.

"This is a long story. As a fictional historian, my existence should have disappeared after being seen through. But a kind and powerful star god blessed me, allowing me to continue to exist. Let me introduce myself again. I am Gallagher from the Extraterrestrial Choir. Salute to you all." Gallagher reintroduced himself.

"Can you sing? So you call yourself the Tianwai Choir." March 7 complained.

"I know a little bit. Why, are you going to ask me to sing at the Dream Bar? If it's the Star Express's request, I can sing a song myself." said Gallagher.

"No, no, no, forget it." March Seven waved his hands to refuse. Gallagher, the unshaven uncle, didn't look like a singer at all.

"Then I, an old dog, won't embarrass myself any more. Let's get back to the topic just now. If one of the family or the company takes complete control of Pinocchio, I'm afraid this place will return to the false dream of sensual pleasures. The efforts of the old unknown guests will be wasted. So I'm wondering if there is any way to stop them." Gallagher didn't want the company to take control of Pinocchio, nor did he want the family to take complete control of Pinocchio. After all, if these two things took complete control of Pinocchio, I'm afraid the future here would be no different from the past.

"Why are you still here?" You Yi asked the same question as Xing.

"Hmm? I've already explained it..." Gallagher was puzzled and was about to explain again when You Yi waved his hand and interrupted him. "What I mean is, since you are still alive, you are also a descendant who has inherited the will of the watchmaker, and you have the blessing of the Star God of Order. Although this blessing may not last long and will soon disappear with the disappearance of the Star God of Order, at least for now, you are the only local Order Emissary in Pinocchio."

Before our Star Train arrived, the Pinocchio family was in power. Now that our Star Train has arrived, the Pinocchio family is still in power. If that's the case, wouldn't our Star Train arrival have been in vain?!

"Are you telling me that with the power of the Watchmaker, the father of Pinocchio, and an envoy, you're planning to sit here and mix drinks, then go aboard the 'Pinocchio' to witness what becomes of Pinocchio?" You Yi closed his eyes, his index fingers pressed to his temples. "No one knows what the 'Watchmaker's Legacy' is, but as we discussed when we first met, if it were me, I'd want that legacy to be the entire Pinocchio."

Gallagher stopped talking and sat at the bar counter, his face wrinkled, as if he realized the crux of the matter.

That's right! Damn! I'm the heir of the watchmaker who was the father of Pinocchio. In other words, I'm the future heir of Pinocchio. So why should the family have the final say over Pinocchio?
