Then, Xingbao showed a thoughtful expression, and suddenly clapped his hands.
“I understand.” She looked at everyone and said, “It must be because only people with pure hearts can see Watch Boy. Among the people here, only Bai Yuan and I have pure hearts, so we can see Watch Boy.”
"..."
Even though she likes Bai Yuan so much and believes in him so deeply, she really can't associate her purity of heart with Bai Yuan.
Huo Huo's suspicions were practically written all over her face.
How can Bai Yuan be considered pure when he has affairs, teacher-student relationships, multiple relationships, and even a young girl named Kong?
"Why don't you guys believe me?" Xingbao muttered to herself as she looked at the disbelief on everyone's face.
Especially Bai Yuan, why are you also showing a disbelieving expression?
Don't you even believe in yourself?
If Ah Xing asks, Bai Yuan will definitely nod seriously.
Don't I know who I am?
“I don’t know why you can see me,” Watch Boy said to Starbucks. “But I’m really happy that you can see me. In all of Pinocchio, no one can see me except Misha.”
"Misha?"
Ah Xing asked in confusion.
“Where is he? Take us to see him,” Bai Yuan said from the side.
He knew Misha was Mikhail. The sooner he saw him, the sooner he could do something.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you to see Misha."
The clock boy had no doubts and nodded repeatedly.
Then, it walked forward, signaling Bai Yuan and Xing Bao to follow.
Bai Yuan glanced at the others and prepared to go over together.
Chapter 242: Something came up, will update tonight.
I have something to take care of and will be back to write tonight. I'll update then.
Chapter 243 Bai Yuan: Silver Wolf, You Are One of My Trump Cards
Bai Yuan, A Xing, Xia Die, and the others followed the clock boy through several streets.
Just then, they saw two groups arguing and shoving each other, seemingly about to fight. In the middle of the two groups, a blue-haired boy in a uniform was anxiously trying to mediate.
"Huh? I think I've seen him before." Ah Xing said with surprise when he saw Misha.
“Really? That really is a coincidence,” Bai Yuan replied to A Xing from the side.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Xia Die, Huo Huo, and the others pointed at the two groups of burly men arguing and asked Bai Yuan, "Who exactly are you talking about?"
“Of course it’s the boy in the middle!” Bai Yuan replied to them.
"Young man! Why can't we see anything again?" Xia Die was starting to wonder if there was something wrong with her eyesight, since she couldn't see anything at all.
The group of people who were arguing saw a few more people pointing and whispering, and they immediately looked over with displeasure.
"What do we do? They're looking at me. What do we do? Should we use the clock trick?" Clock Boy said anxiously when he saw the men looking at them.
Bai Yuan looked at the clock boy and thought that this clock trick was indeed a good thing, as it could even manipulate other people's emotions. It was a pity that it could only be used on Pinocchio. If it could be used outside, it would be a divine skill.
At Bai Yuan's level, even a slight change in emotion can be seized upon to alter the course of the battle.
However, it's not necessary to use it against these people in front of us.
“No need, I have something much better than the clock trick.” Bai Yuan quickly moved past the group, gently patting them on the shoulder. Sensing Bai Yuan’s enthusiasm, they all sat down on the ground.
"Everyone, arguing is bad. I think we can communicate peacefully."
Everyone nodded.
Bai Yuan glanced at Ah Xing and the others, and said smugly, "See, resolving conflicts is quite simple."
Apart from Ah Xing, everyone else was speechless, including Clock Boy and Misha. But the outcome was relatively good; they all covered their arms and fled into the distance.
A few seconds later, the clock boy realized what was happening and skipped over to Misha.
"Misha, are you alright?"
“It’s alright.” Misha shook her head. “I tried to mediate their conflict, but it didn’t work. I’ll have to trouble you, sir.”
After speaking, Misha looked at Bai Yuan and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you for your help, sir."
"You're welcome."
“Yes, you’re here to mediate because you’re enthusiastic,” Ah Xing chimed in from the side.
Watching their conversation, Xia Die felt somewhat depressed.
How come Bai Yuan has started having a secret with another girl, and I don't even know about it? It's driving me crazy!
The most crucial thing is that this secret is something I can't find anywhere. If I can't see it, I simply can't see it, just like the math problem in the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden—if I can't solve it, I can't solve it, no matter how hard I try, it won't work.
As they talked, Ah Xing glanced at Xia Die and the others and noticed that they still hadn't seen any sign of Mi Sha. Their curiosity grew even stronger.
Looking at A-Xing's expression, Bai Yuan said, "A-Xing, after we go back, do you want to tell the other members of the Starry Sky Train what happened here?"
"Tell the other members of the Starry Sky Train?" Ah Xing was a little confused when he heard Bai Yuan say this.
“Yes, you should go back and talk to the others on the Starry Sky Train. Maybe you’ll find something interesting,” Bai Yuan said to Xing Bao with a mysterious smile.
Regardless of Misha's fate after Bai Yuan's involvement with Pinocchio, Bai Yuan at least wants Misha to have some interaction with Pam. For the other nameless individuals, Mikhail is merely a former senior. But for Pam, he is a partner with whom she once acted.
When it's time for friends to reunite, it's best to do so.
"What exactly do you know?" Ah Xing asked Bai Yuan after hearing him say that.
"It's better for you to explore this matter on your own. You're still an unknown guest, so why do you just want to take what's readily available instead of exploring the unknown?" Bai Yuan naturally wouldn't say that.
Ah Xing rolled her eyes at Bai Yuan.
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll tell Sister Himeko and Uncle Yang about what happened here later."
Misha and the Clockwork Boy looked at Bai Yuan, then at Ah Xing. The Clockwork Boy then asked them, "What are you two talking about?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to introduce Misha and Clockwork Boy to more friends," Bai Yuan said.
The clockwork boy hesitated. "More friends? Are you sure they can see us?"
“It may not be possible right now, but there will definitely be a way,” Bai Yuan said.
“Okay, since you can see us, we’ll believe you.” The clock boy nodded vigorously.
Seeing that they believed him, Ah Xing quickly contacted Walter Yang and Himeko to tell them what had happened.
"Okay, if you have time these next few days, Uncle Yang and the others will come and visit you too."
"Starbucks said to Misha and Watch Boy."
Misha and the other person repeatedly expressed their agreement.
……
Bai Yuan left the Dream Pool.
As someone with strong mental self-control, he didn't want to immerse himself in the dream world for too long. His main body was both real and dreamlike, and with the perspectives of five clones, things couldn't get too chaotic.
Returning to his true form, Bai Yuan stood up from the Dream Pool.
Unlike in the game, leaving the Dream Pool leaves you completely wet. Xia Die, Huang Quan, and the others went in fully clothed, came out soaking wet, and then changed. Bai Yuan, however, simply took the easy way out, entering the pool in only his shorts. He could then change into his underwear and put on his clothes afterward.
After getting dressed, Bai Yuan planned to take a stroll through the reality of the Daydream Hotel.
Let's also look at the reality.
Walking into the hotel lobby, the crowd was much smaller than during peak hours. Most people, having completed their check-in, were eager to enjoy the beauty of their dream.
Bai Yuan had originally planned to wander around for a bit, have some non-alcoholic drinks, and then go to rest. But upon glancing at the lobby, he noticed three people he recognized.
"Hey, you two are wanted criminals by the company. How dare you show up at Pinocchio like this? Where's the security at the Daydream Hotel? Come and arrest these two right now!" Scott shouted at Firefly and Silver Wolf.
Both Firefly and Silver Wolf looked impatient. Silver Wolf even took out a game console, seemingly planning something.
Bai Yuan walked over and looked at Scott.
“I invited these two people. Mr. Scott, what are your thoughts?” Bai Yuan said with a smile.
Before Scott could answer, Bai Yuan continued casually, "By the way, the company on the Yaoqing Immortal Ship might be short-staffed lately, so we might send someone over. If I strongly insist on sending someone, the company will usually give me face. Also, Mr. Scott, let me tell you, the company's businesses on the Yaoqing Immortal Ship can sometimes become targets of attacks by the Fengrao people. Over the years, the compensation the company has given out has been quite high."
"What are you saying?! You can't be so despicable!" Scott's face clearly showed panic when he heard Bai Yuan say this.
If Bai Yuan were to say something like that to executives like Toppa or Sandstone, he would be completely ignored. But for Scott, it might actually happen.
"Huh? How am I despicable!" Bai Yuan smiled and looked at Scott.
"You're ruthless!" Looking at Bai Yuan's ambiguous smile, Scott couldn't help but recall the humiliation he had suffered and Bai Yuan and Sai Fei'er's shameless behavior. Thinking of this, he fled in a disheveled state.
"Mr. Bai Yuan, thank you so much." Liu Ying said to Bai Yuan with a relieved expression.
"If you hadn't shown up, I would have had no choice but to kill you... oh, no, I was helpless."
"..."
"..."
"I just wanted to send him away, but you went and did it anyway," Silver Wolf complained from the side. After she finished complaining, she walked up to Bai Yuan, looked up at him, and greeted him.
“We meet again. Last time we only exchanged glances, this is the first time we’ve had a face-to-face conversation,” Silver Wolf said to Bai Yuan.
"Yes, last time I fought Ren, you were watching from afar, I only caught a glimpse of you from a distance."
“I’m not good at head-on combat. If I hadn’t kept my distance, I probably would have been your prisoner on the spot,” Silver Wolf said, jumping up and sitting in a chair.
"Aren't you afraid I'll take you prisoner right now?"
"The problem is, arresting me won't do you any good. At most, you'll just collect the company's bounty. If you really need money, just tell me, and I'll transfer it to you directly," Silver Wolf said nonchalantly.
"Are you so rich?"
Although Silver Wolf has the lowest bounty among the Star Core Hunters, it is still over five billion.
“I don’t have money, but I can get it from the company’s financial institutions. Anyway, those unscrupulous capitalists, taking their billions is just doing them a good deed.”
Silver Wolf's hacking skills are top-notch. The company can only defend against her if they can get Screw Goom to be their cybersecurity director.
But this is impossible.
So, Silver Wolf could basically take any of the company's money he wanted.
However, Silver Wolf didn't use this ability much.
Although she was usually cynical, she was still somewhat of a kind person. Taking the company's money might not seem like a big deal, but the company certainly wouldn't bear the loss itself; in the end, it would all fall on the shoulders of ordinary people in the company's market.
Silver Wolf wouldn't do something like this unless it's an emergency.
"Forget it, I'll talk about it when I need money." Bai Yuan understood this and didn't make any demands in this regard.
Bai Yuan, recalling his visit to the Star Core Hunter, said, "I want your help with my trip to Onfaros."
"Let me tell you first, Eriol's prophecy is completely useless in this regard." Silver Wolf was telling Bai Yuan about Eriol's situation, essentially telling him to give up on that idea.
Bai Yuan was somewhat surprised, but also somewhat relieved.
It would be hard to accept and unsettling to think that one's fate could be observed by Elio.
"If Elio's prophecy doesn't work, then there's only one Star Core Hunter left who can help us."
As Bai Yuan spoke, his gaze fell on the silver wolf.
You mean me?
Silver Wolf said in surprise.
Yes, it's you.
Bai Yuan nodded affirmatively.
Given Onfaros's situation, the Star Core Hunters couldn't offer Bai Yuan much combat support. While Blade possessed strong immortality, its low damage output rendered it ineffective. As for Kafka, Bai Yuan couldn't expect her Word of Power to control Laikushi or the soon-to-be-born Great Lord of Annihilation, Iron Tomb.
Silver Wolf, however, truly shone in Onpharos with her hacking skills. After all, her abilities were so advanced that even Screwgoom acknowledged them.
Ruan Mei called for Slug Gumu, and Bai Yuan, for the sake of safety, added Silver Wolf, completely turning the Emperor's Scepter into a toy in everyone's hands.
Silver Wolf has done more infiltrations and probably has more experience in doing evil deeds than Screw and Goom. Screw and Goom might still want to research the Imperial Scepter, while Whitebeard is more interested in the world of Onpharos than researching the Imperial Scepter.
