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

Hiluva and Jepard accompanied him on official business;

Hook, Natasha, Clara, and Swallow also came.

Bronya and Seele, however, were unable to join the group because they needed to stay in Beloborg to handle the city-state's numerous and complicated affairs.

The group had barely settled down and hadn't even had a proper rest when the naturally lively and active Hook couldn't contain his curiosity any longer.

She opened her bright, sparkling eyes and curiously scanned the fantastical scene around her that she had never seen before. Everything in front of her was dazzling.

The next second, Hook pushed off with his foot and rushed straight toward the stall that interested him.

"Hook! Don't wander off! Let's go back to the hotel to drop off our luggage and settle in!"

Seeing this, Natasha had no choice but to call out.

This kid is always so impulsive when he's on a foreign planet.

"Oh, Natasha, don't be so nervous."

Hiluva, standing to the side, waved and laughed heartily, her tone casual.

“Hook is still a child. It’s normal for him to be curious and playful when he comes to such a novel and fun place for the first time. There’s no need to be so restrained.”

"But there are so many people here, I'm afraid the little guy will get lost."

Natasha frowned slightly, still unable to relax.

Seeing Natasha's worried expression, Shiluwa immediately smiled and defuse the situation, teasing her loudly:

"Don't worry, everything will be fine! My little brother is here to take care of things the whole time, right, Jay?"

The sudden use of an affectionate term instantly made the usually serious and composed Jepard's ears turn red, and he coughed lightly, slightly embarrassed.

"Sister, please don't call me that..."

"Oh my, our fair and upright Commander Jepard is shy~ How rare."

Seeing this, Hiluva continued to tease him mercilessly.

Just as Xing Su was laughing and pulling at him, Hook, who had just run away, actually obediently turned back.

Moreover, a familiar figure followed behind him.

Natasha recognized the person and was slightly taken aback, her face showing surprise: "What are you doing here?"

Appeared in the dark and mysterious world of the search, 2000

He still wore his signature hearty smile, explaining in a lighthearted tone:

"So these are old friends of Bellenberg's. It's perfectly normal for me, old Sambo, to be here."

Sambo spread his hands and continued:

Old Sambo is the Masked Fool, and he does odd jobs here and there. The entrance to this tavern is right here, so naturally I'll be hanging around here.

"Small business?"

Jepard's gaze darkened slightly, his eyes taking on a scrutinizing look.

"You wouldn't be secretly involved in some illegal or unethical activities again, would you?"

Jepard knew that Sambo had a criminal record in Beloborg.

Faced with Jepard's questioning, Sambos remained calm and composed, spreading her hands in a confident reply:

“Commander Jepard, this is a huge misunderstanding! I’m just doing legitimate small-scale trading now, which is nothing compared to the business plans of the major corporations. I’m absolutely law-abiding.”

He then changed the subject and enthusiastically offered a suggestion.

"Judging from your appearance, you are all new to the city and probably not familiar with the roads. How about this, I will lead the way and take you to your booked hotel, saving you the trouble of asking for directions and running around."

Natasha pondered for a moment and then recited the name of the hotel the team had booked in advance:

"Then I'll trouble you. We've booked the XXXX Hotel."

"Oh! I know this place! I know this area very well, so don't worry about leaving it to me!"

Sambo immediately responded and led the way familiarly, guiding Belloberg and his group slowly toward the hotel.

But the fishy smell lingered for a long time after it was gone.

The street where they had just stopped was greeted by another group of people with a completely different temperament.

That's right! It's the Onfaros team that has come from afar!

Xi Lian, Bai E, Xia Die, Wan Di, the three little teachers, Aglaia, and others were all present.

It brings together almost most of the core members of the Golden Generation.

This time, the purpose of sucking up the blood and gore on several banks is similar to that of Belloberg.

One reason is to support and cheer on Xia Die, a rising star writer from Ongfaros who is now a global sensation.

Secondly, Aglaia and her team also had official duties, requiring them to conduct on-site investigations of the market environment of the Two Realms Park, connect with local forces in Hatopia, and discuss various cooperative matters such as trade cooperation and cultural exchange.

"Wow! Is this the Second Phase Paradise?!"

Bai E, with a cheerful and sunny personality, like a little Samoyed, looked around with great curiosity as soon as she landed, her eyes full of excitement.

"The scenery, architecture, and atmosphere here are completely different from both Ohma and the Fairy Boat Luofu. It's so interesting!"

King Wan Di of Chimera, who was not dressed properly, couldn't help but distance himself from Bai E when he saw Bai E looking like such a country bumpkin.

"Oh my, this place is definitely different. I can feel the [pleasure] here is so strong!"

Xi Lian's eyes were gentle, and Xie Yi smiled as she interjected at the right moment.

"Furthermore, having experienced the baptism of the last calamity, the distorted illusions here are slowly fading, and the trajectory of memory is gradually being corrected."

"Alright, everyone."

Aglaia possesses a dignified demeanor, and her composed speech calmly and steadily silences the nausea.

"We are new to this alien planet, so we should respect the local customs and traditions and avoid being too noisy. Let's go to the hotel to settle in and rest first, and then proceed with the other matters one by one."

As soon as she finished speaking, she reacted swiftly and accurately.

He grabbed the catgirl Sephalia by the back of the neck as she tried to sneak out to join the fun and make some money, his tone both helpless and serious:

"And you! Cephalia, don't run around."

Cephalia: "..."

That despicable seamstress!

I finally made it to the bustling and lively Erxiang Paradise.

She also wanted to take the opportunity to make a quick buck and show off her skills!

But now the plan has fallen through.

However, Lady Aglaia had already seen through her kitten's thoughts, so she gave it a warning:

“Sefaria, this isn’t Onfaros. If you get caught, don’t blame me for ignoring you.”

Upon hearing this, Sai Fei'er had no choice but to compromise for the time being.

"By the way, where did Xia Xia go? I haven't seen her anywhere."

At this moment, Teacher Ti Bao asked Aglaia.

Upon hearing this, the latter raised an eyebrow slightly and then said:

“That great performer said he’s going to inspect the amusement park in person. We don’t need to wait for him. I’ll just message him when the time comes. Bye, you should have brought his luggage, right?”

Upon hearing Aglaia's question, Bai'er nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Teacher Xia's luggage is with me. I can take it to his room later."

"Okay, let's leave it at that. We don't need to worry about anything else. Let's find someone to find out where the Zhuxing Hotel we're staying at is."

Aglaia nodded slightly.

Then she glanced around briefly, finally stopping on a woman dressed in black.

The woman in black seemed to notice her gaze, and slowly walked over to Aglaia, asking:

"Hello, I am Kuchiba, the head of the [Abnormal Defense Department]. What kind of assistance do you need? Are you guests from Onfaros?"

"Madam, how did you know we were from Onfaros?"

At this moment, Xia Die asked curiously.

"It's simple. Because of the matter of Onfaros, during the Battle of the Iron Tomb, many people around the world remember your fire-chasing figures."

Xiuye ​​smiled slightly and replied.

—Author's Note—

[Author's Note]:

I just finished watching the PV, and Kuchiba is a glutton.

It seems there were hints about the simulated universe or the difference model before, and now it looks like Obolos is going to be resurrected.

We'll then arrange for storylines to be developed in other worlds and via "IF" routes.

Chapter 509 (Extra) Illusory Illumination: It seems you've all grasped the essence~

After safely escorting Onfaros and his party to the entrance of the Pearl Star Hotel, Kuchiba left to handle the rest of his business.

The group entered the luxurious and elegant Pearl Star Hotel one after another, successfully completed all the check-in procedures, and settled their luggage.

Just as Xing Songzai was enjoying himself, Xia Die's mobile phone suddenly received a message notification from Zhuxing Group.

The text message informed her to immediately go to the headquarters of the Zhuxing Group to participate in the author meeting before the book signing.

The three top authors invited to join the event will meet offline for the first time to get to know each other and prepare for future book signings and interactive collaborations.

This grand sales event for the novel "Wanxiong Liao Kangniju Bidao" is a stage where the three authors appear together and showcase their work side by side.

Although there is no explicit ranking or competition, they are still regarded by readers across the internet as a platform for newcomers in the literary world to exchange ideas.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a meeting and discussion before the formal book signing event.

However... Xia Die couldn't help but feel a mix of trepidation and anticipation.

She had already heard of the other two authors who were also on the same stage.

One is Lape, a newly popular teacher with a delicate and neat style.

Another one is the legendary senior who has been a top figure on the platform for many years and has been deeply involved in the literary world – Teacher Fuzzy QR Code.

Everyone in the industry knows that this QR code teacher is highly experienced and has an unparalleled imagination. He is a role model for countless emerging authors and a senior whom she silently looks up to and learns from.

Although he is a comic artist, many authors hope to connect with Teacher Erwei Ma and adapt his comics.

But precisely because the other party was so experienced, Xia Die couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Was this legendary senior person gentle and approachable, or strict and demanding? Difficult to get along with?

If one's words and actions are clumsy, or if one makes mistakes or is impolite...

Will this displease my seniors and create distance between me and my colleagues on the same stage?

The naturally shy Xia Die grew increasingly nervous as she thought about it, a faint sense of anxiety and unease lingering in her heart.

Xi Lian, who had been quietly observing the changes in her expression, had already seen through the little girl's thoughts.

Her eyes softened, and she gently comforted him:

"Xia Die, there's no need to be so nervous. Creators who can stand on the world's top stage must have excellent character and demeanor. The other two teachers must be very easy to get along with."

Xi Lian smiled and continued to soothe her gently.

In her spare time, she had also read Xia Die's serialized novels, but at first she was not very used to the content.

But the more I read, the more engrossed I became.

He can be considered a loyal reader of Xia Die's work.

Moreover, having experienced countless reincarnations in Ompharos, she also skillfully constructed unofficial histories within Ompharos.
