Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

[Star: Jadeite can be a substitute for placer gold... Do you think this is a double entendre?]

[Fireworks: A double entendre... Hmm~ Yes! It must be a double entendre. Once the gold dust has done such a great service, it'll be riding high on its old superior, jade. Then it'll be hard to say which stone will be more valuable~~]

[Jade: Fool, this kind of joke can't make people agitated.]

[Fireworks: Tsk, aren't you going to fall for it?]

[Topa: It's so obvious, it's hard to fall for it, right?]

The other gold-plated man narrowed his eyes, his smile deep: "Gold-plated, topaz, emerald... three elites, three cornerstones, willing to risk everything for little Pinocchio. You are more united than a family."

Sand Gold, one hand on his hip: "I've said it before, three [chips] are enough—all or nothing."

He smiled mysteriously: "Whether it's the former or the latter, we'll soon find out."

"So," the other gold-bearing man said, "where is the real gold-bearing stone? Let's take it out and have a look."

Sand Gold's lips curled into a mischievous smile as he looked at "himself".

"Ha, you don't know where it is again?"

[Xu Zhao: Is this considered strong internal monologue, or schizophrenia? This is the first time I've seen myself making fun of myself.]

[Qingque: Speaking of which, we only talked about jadeite. What about aventurine... it's probably just mixed in with the real thing in that gem bag, right?]

[Star: That must be it. Tsk tsk, the darkest place is under the lamp. Think about the situation back then, when Sand Gold heard Sunday say to get lost with that bag, he actually played hard to get, looking all wronged and angrily accusing others of not being able to do anything with that little bit of money. He was probably holding back his laughter so hard he was going crazy, going through all the sad things in his life before he could finally stop!]

[Fireworks: It's not that sad. Tsk tsk, I remember what the chicken wing boy said back then? Ahem... Your luggage is over there, please leave. I believe you can exchange this bag of cheap jewels for everything. That's what gamblers do best, isn't it? Go on, Mr. Gold Sand, you're 'free'. I'll be here waiting for your good news. Hahahaha...]

Hanabi laughed until her stomach hurt, kicking her feet and rolling around on the bed.

The people in the Milky Way couldn't help but laugh as well.

Looking back now, the scene of eagerly chasing away the gold dust on Sunday seems strangely comical, as if we were completely controlled by the gold dust.

[Star: Haha, cough cough cough... Be serious, March, Lao Ri is our dearest friend and brother, we can't laugh.]

[March 7th: You were laughing the loudest, okay? Ahem, by the way, where exactly is the gold dust?]

……

The other gold dust immediately retorted to the original's mockery: "I just want you to say it yourself... After all, its current appearance really suits its master very well."

Sand Gold let out a soft sigh: "Then I'll grant your wish. 'They' have always stayed in the most suitable place, and have never left..."

"It's in this pile of cheap jewelry."

Another version of him said meaningfully, "You smashed the [Goldstone] before you even set off..."

He feigned sorrow, but the mockery in his eyes lingered: "Look at it, tsk tsk, how much it resembles your fragmented life. No matter how glamorous the exterior, inside it's still a humble pebble... This is far more important than your life."

"You know all too well the consequences of doing this. Do you think the company will let you off the hook for blaspheming the Holy Body of Krippar (the cornerstone)?"

Sandstone said nonchalantly, "[Diamonds] have always valued results. As long as the value I can create far exceeds the cost... the process and methods are not a problem."

"How can I deceive the family without paying a price? It's alright, the foundation of [Preservation] can still function even if it's shattered into pieces, although its effectiveness will be greatly reduced, but for me... it's enough."

[March 7th: Huh? I really didn't expect this. It wasn't just a fake, it was even smashed? Won't the power inside leak out? That power was separated from the Guardian Token's body. If it's gone because of something like this, I'll be heartbroken, right?]

[Star: Dude, you're ruthless... Is it really worth it for KPIs? A few hundred... uh, trillions of credits a month, are you risking your life?]

[Undying Path: You're ruthless, young man. Tsk tsk, someone with your talent should definitely join the Sea Patrol Rangers.]

A life of unending hatred!

Let's take a look at the life story of Sand Gold.

Born in a remote, impoverished area, and having endured hardship as a slave—what is this? This is a career-track knight-errant, with impeccable credentials!

Looking at his abilities, he's a master of deception, gambling, and financial management, and most importantly... he's fearless!

We desperately need people like these for our maritime patrol and ranger missions!

With him, so many brothers no longer have to worry about making a living. Unlike me now, at my advanced age, I still have to endure backaches and leg pains, running around everywhere, relying on Zhenzhu to take on all sorts of strange commissions to survive.

It's a pity that no one, and why didn't he himself go to Tsigania for a visit back then?

He was so regretful he was stamping his feet. Why hadn't this light curtain opened twenty or thirty years earlier?

[Narrator: Detective, stop kicking it. You can't afford to pay for the refrigerator right now.]

[Undying Path: Tsk.]

[Fu Xuan: I'm more curious about how he's going to turn the tables. Many people have probably already figured it out, right? Sand Gold's scheme was brilliant, and Sunday was careless and fell into the trap. But so what? He's still bound by the power of harmony.]

[Yao Guang: That's right. Sunday even deliberately threw the other two cornerstones in front of him, clearly showing he didn't care. Perhaps even their current conversation is being monitored in real time by Sunday. Just as placer gold hides the real placer gold behind the shadow of jade, Sunday might also be hiding his purpose in the smallest details.]

[Star: Huh? They can even use nesting dolls? Can the Japanese really be that insidious?]

[Sunday: Not insidious, just unimportant. Gold dust, unimportant.]

Take a deep breath on Sunday.

Undeniably, his actions regarding the gold mine made him look very shameful, extremely shameful.

But that's where it ends. Even if the gold dust had a complete foundation stone, it wouldn't be able to break free from the restrictions of the Harmonious Power.

His true secrets, which he couldn't let anyone detect, were already spread throughout every corner of the Asdna system!

Since that's the case, why not just go around in circles with the gold dust and draw attention to something less of a concern?

Even a grand celebration of music and dance can be a gimmick to divert attention.

The only oversight... was that someone actually dared to attack a robin!

"Hoo~ Come on." Sunday rested his cheek on one hand, watching Sand Gold's actions with a smile: "Keep flapping your wings in meaningless places and attract everyone's attention."

[Qingque: Now that you mention it, it's true... Although Sand Gold won in terms of momentum, it doesn't seem like they achieved any real victory.]

[Gold Sand: Ha, I've won the foundation with a few broken gems. Now, if I put the foundation up again, who knows if I'll win back a miracle?]
