Damn it, something's wrong with the gacha I got.

"This...an unexpected situation has occurred! The three spectators have entered the Eight Trigrams Flying Tigers' team."

Dan Heng noticed the three had arrived, turned slightly, and asked them:

"Finally awake? And Chen Bai, what are you doing in the lower area?"

March 7th chimed in, "We came to find you as soon as we woke up. As for Chen Bai, he accidentally entered the lower realm through the rift and then joined us. The three of us came to help you, so thank us!"

Danheng's eyes at this moment looked a bit like Squidward's when Patrick Star and SpongeBob SquarePants messed up his wonderful weekend.

His thought at that moment was: Is there a possibility that it would be better to get me out instead of mixing me in?

Chen Bai: "I didn't expect that, Dan Heng, you also like fighting. In that case, let's join in this grand celebration!"

Dan Heng: "......"

Very well, even the last hope has been shattered.

"Ah~"

Little Azure Dragon sighed helplessly.

At the same time, Dr. Digger's voice rang out again.

"I felt their enthusiasm. This sport is so exciting and attractive. However, I must state that combat sports are professional and dangerous. But our little dragon fighter signaled for the match to continue. Great, he can't wait! Let's see if these guys' fists are harder, or the robot's metal body is harder?"

Danheng: ?

I haven't said anything yet.

"Never mind, but even if you guys don't come, I can handle it by myself."

March 7th, one hand on hip: "Teacher Danheng, we really can't count on your emotional intelligence~"

Xing: "Alright, let's get started, my baseball bat is itching for a hit!"

Chen Bai: "Yeah, that's right, my watermelon knife is itching to be used too."

Dan Heng: "......"

Well, although it's unavoidable, the competition still has to continue.

And so, the competition officially began.

Dan Heng launched the first attack, swiftly taking down two robots with a single shot.

As for Chen Bai, March 7th, and Xing, they took down the last robot.

The whole process was very smooth.

"What a beautiful strike! The final victors are our Cold Noodles Little Green Dragon, and the temporarily added Smiling Pink Dragon, Crumbly Noodles Little Gray Dragon, and Hot Noodles Little Black Dragon!"

Upon hearing this, March 7th immediately retorted, "What kind of weird nickname is that!"

Xing didn't think there was a problem: "Really? I think it's quite suitable."

Chen Bai: "I think it would be more appropriate to change my name to Handsome Little Black Dragon."

Upon hearing this, Danheng wanted to rub his forehead, but he noticed Sangbo in Guanxin's eyes, who seemed to be leaving.

"It's Sambo! Let's give chase!"

So the four of them ran off the stage and chased after Sambo.

The four quickly caught up with Sangbo and surrounded the handsome man in dark blue.

Xing carried a baseball bat, March 7th held a bow and arrow, Chen Bai held a watermelon knife, and Dan Heng gripped the Jiyun spear.

Sangbo trembled and pulled out a few coins from his pocket: "Brothers, this is all I have left."

Chen Bai subconsciously took it, and then realized something was wrong.

"Here you go, we're not robbing you."

Xing seemed a little disappointed: "So that's not how it is?"

"Thank goodness it wasn't. I thought you were going to rob me, old Sambo." Sambo pretended to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't give me that crap. You only ran away because you saw we were feeling guilty."

March 7th glared at him.

"Haha, how could that be? How could I, Old Sambo, feel guilty? I, Old Sambo, have always had a clear conscience. Good heavens, could it be that I unintentionally did something to offend all my good friends?"

Sambo started rubbing his hands together, like flies.

Xing: "You left us with Iron Guard and ran away."

Upon hearing this, Sambo quickly retorted, "Oh, I see. But you can think about it from the other side. After Jepard wiped us out, would he give you a chance to speak? He would have thrown you straight into jail long ago."

I've been watching you all from the shadows. Do you know how long the Iron Guard has been watching you? It wasn't easy for me to find this opportunity to bring you down here..."

Chen Bai, with his dead fish eyes, interrupted Sang Bo's self-defense.

"Alright, Sambo, no, I should say Masked Fool, you targeted us from the start. First you met with us and then dumped us on Iron Guard, and then you lured us to the lower district. What are you planning?"

"The Masked Fool? The One Who Enjoys Pleasure?"

Dan Heng caught the key words and immediately became alert.

March 7: "I never thought you were a fool!"

Xing: "So what exactly is the Masked Fool? Is it tasty?"

March 7th: "......"

Chapter 26 Star: Old Sambo, if you don't behave, I'll...

Upon hearing this, Sambo's heart stirred slightly, but his face still wore its usual, slightly slick, innocent expression.

He rubbed his hands together, a perfectly timed smile curving his lips, his voice full of ingratiating laughter:

“Oh dear, my friend, what you’re saying… what fool? The more I listen, the more confused I get. I’m just an honest, small-time businessman who does a little bit of trading. I can’t possibly be worthy of those big shots you’re talking about, nor do I have the privilege of knowing them.”

Chen Bai looked at him like this, but he wasn't annoyed. He just slowly raised the seemingly ordinary, even somewhat comical, cat-shaped stick in his hand.

The pom-pom attached to the top of the stick traced a barely perceptible streak of light in the air as he lightly turned his wrist.

“Fine,” Chen Bai said calmly, yet with an undeniable certainty, “You still want to play dumb, don’t you?”

Before he finished speaking, he flicked his wrist and casually swung the Meow Meow Stick to his side, aiming at the rusty, inconspicuous metal trash can on the street corner.

The next second, a sudden change occurred.

There was no earth-shattering sound, nor dazzling light and shadow effects, only a subtle, ripple-like spatial distortion that swept past the trash can.

In the blink of an eye, a round, adorable cat-shaped trash can appeared, squatting in place.

Wow!

Xing's exclamation erupted almost instantly. She lunged forward, her voice filled with the ecstatic joy of discovering a treasure: "A cat-shaped trash can! A priceless treasure! I'm going to take it back to the train and keep it as a keepsake!"

Unfortunately, an irresistible force came from the back of her collar and neck.

March 7th was quick-witted and had already anticipated her movements. Her slender fingers precisely pinched Xingming Kou Nimei Ma I, holding her firmly in place like a disobedient kitten.

"Come back here! Don't go!" March 7th puffed out her cheeks, trying her best to look stern, even though her bright eyes couldn't help but glance curiously at the cat toilet.

"March is a bad person~" Xing kicked her legs in vain, making a wronged accusation.

"I'll be the bad guy today!"

"See? I can turn anyone into a cat. No matter if it's a person or an object, no one can escape my stick! Even your boss, Aha, fell for it."

Chen Bai ignored the two noisy girls beside him, his gaze remaining fixed on Sang Bo.

He shook the meow stick in his hand, and the fluffy ball at the end of the stick swayed gently.

Sambo: "..."

Is this guy telling the truth or not?

But his cat toy really does seem to turn people into cats.

"Tell me everything you know!" Chen Bai narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"That's right, that's right. If you don't say so, I'll turn you into a cute little kitten, and then we'll cuddle you like crazy, hehehe~"

As Xing spoke, tears streamed down her face, and a twisted smile remained on her lips.

Dan Heng: "......"

"Alright, alright, I'll confess, okay? But you guys at least have to tell me clearly what you want me to confess to, right?"

Seeing this, Sambo had no choice but to surrender.

"So you admit you're the Masked Fool, huh?" Dan Heng said expressionlessly.

Sambo chuckled: "Hey, handsome guy, don't expose me like that, old Sambo, I'll get shy."

Seeing Sangbo's coquettish manner, Chen Bai got goosebumps all over his body.

"Stop playing tricks. Why did you abandon us in the first place?" Chen Bai asked.

Sambo spread his hands: "Just looking for fun."

Chen Bai: "That's very much in line with the behavior of the Masked Fool. So, you must know about the Star Core, right?"

Sambo: "Hmm, I do know a little bit about star cores, but Cocolia is not someone to mess with."

"Where exactly is the star core?" Chen Bai pressed.

He's putting aside Sambo's identity as the Masked Fool for now; he'll focus on getting firsthand information about the Star Core firsthand.

Upon hearing this, Sangbo's eyes darted around, and he replied:

"I'm not entirely sure where the star core is, but I know someone who might know its whereabouts."

"who?"

"Boss Schwarzlo!"

"Master Schwarzlo?" March 7th and Xing tilted their heads, their eyes full of curiosity.

"This name sounds really strange."

Upon hearing this, Chen Bai seemed to recognize the words from somewhere.

"Wait, I think I heard from Hook that Schwarz is a robot, right?"

Sangbo was slightly surprised, looked at Chen Bai, and replied:

"That's right, Schwaro himself is an ancient robot who has lived for countless years. It resides in the machine community and controls most of the robots in the lower city. It always claims that its judgment is correct. It witnessed the rise and fall of Arillow VI and may know the origin of the Star Core."

"Great! How do we find it? Where is it now?"

March 7th jumped up excitedly, eager to set off immediately so he could seal the star core and return to the train.

"Its lair is in the core area of ​​the machine colony, which is full of its robot subordinates, but it is difficult to deal with itself and prefers to speak with logic and numbers."

“I understand, they’re just like the robots I’ve encountered on other planets.”

March 7th expressed her understanding, saying that she and Danheng had encountered similar situations before when they were developing new ventures.

“But we don’t know the way,” Chen Bai said, raising a crucial question.

Schwarzlo is in the machine community, but they don't know the way around there.

“So…” He saw his gaze return to Sambo.

"Handsome guy, please spare me. I dare not go to that big shot's territory. If his robots find me, I'll be hunted down by the entire Lower District."

Sambo said repeatedly.

Chen Bai frowned: "But if we don't turn to you, who else can we turn to?"

Sambo: "You can go find Oleg. He's the acting leader of the Earth Fire. He can send someone with you. My little arms and legs can't take any more trouble."

"Really?" Chen Bai glanced at him and then said, "Alright then, let's go find Oleg, but we don't know Oleg, so you have to take us there."

"Alright! Let's stick close to old Sambo then!"

So the four of them followed Sambo to Oleg.

Oleg looked like an old man with gray hair, but he was physically strong and didn't look like an old man at all.
