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

[Fireworks: She even arrested him... She herself feels guilty!]

Everyone who has seen what has happened before understands it perfectly well.

If those hunting dogs really persisted in their relentless pursuit of her, Liu Ying might actually... transform into a tin monster on the spot and carve a bloody path through the enemy lines.

[Qingque: It's all thanks to Galakh's failing eyesight that he released Liuying, otherwise those two puppies would have been in big trouble, and Galakh himself would have died before even starting his mission...]

[Fu Xuan: It's probably quite the opposite. It was precisely because Gallagher's eyes were so sharp that he quickly intervened. You think he was protecting Liu Ying? Quite the opposite, he was protecting those two hot-headed hounds. They didn't get that scolding for nothing; it was well worth it.]

[Sai Fei'er: Tsk tsk, thanks to the old dog's deep loyalty and courage, he risked his life to attack and used all his words to suppress the "strictest mother of the swarm." Poor two little dogs, they didn't even realize they were brushing past Xia Die's sister at the Styx Ferry.]

"Gulp." The two hounds watched all this, trembling as they swallowed hard.

Isn't that person in the light screen myself?!

The two exchanged a bewildered glance, a wave of lingering fear washing over them. They had almost gotten a free day trip to Liumeng Reef?

[Hound: Thank you for saving me, sir!!!]

Gallagher: It's nothing, you guys don't need to get involved.

Inside the light curtain.

Facing the adoring gazes of the fireflies, Xing proudly puffed out his chest: "Galaxy Baseball Man, mission accomplished!"

Liu Ying chuckled: "You're so funny."

"I just noticed...you're an unknown customer, aren't you? Is this your first time at Pinocchio?"

Upon hearing this, Xing put on airs: "If you want an autograph, not today..."

"That's not what I meant! Although I really do admire the Nameless Guest..." Firefly was a little flustered.

We could have easily gotten together by starting with the topic of "It's my first time here...", but how did we suddenly veer off to such a different place?

Hmm... As expected of her, her counter-surveillance skills are too strong!

There was no other way, so although it was a bit awkward, I had to go ahead: "I was trying to say that you were invited by your family, right? I... I can be your mentor!"

The firefly tried every means to strike up a conversation with the star, while the robin in the shadows saw everything: "Too many people know me; it's probably not appropriate to just follow me."

"It seems we'll have to resort to some methods. We need to get closer and find a secluded corner."

She crept closer to the two of them and quietly started tuning the instrument.

"Although the Hound family mistook me for an illegal immigrant, I'm actually a local—the Iris family's entertainer, 'Firefly'! Even if I'm just a temporary actress..."

[Hanabi: That was really good acting.]

"It's a success!" Robin thought with delight, then frowned slightly. "That girl... claims to be an artist from the Iris family? But I can't hear any resonance in her voice..."

Sure enough, she was far more complex than she appeared!

Liu Ying's voice suddenly paused. She lowered her eyelashes and looked around, paying particular attention to the noisy crowd, as if something was hiding among them. But she quickly composed herself and turned her gaze back to Xing.

"...Let's not talk about this anymore! I'll take you to see the town...Let's go."

The robin pursed its lips, watching the two figures disappear into the distance, and still chose to follow them: "If I've misunderstood... I will make it up to you afterwards."

[Fireworks: What a closely contested match!]

[Phantom Image: Oh~ how should I put it, a misunderstanding… there really wasn't a misunderstanding, but allies are definitely allies. What a unique first encounter, showcasing the ingenuity of fate, making one want to hum a soft hum!]

[Star: Wait, you didn't even fabricate a history this time?]

[Blurred photo: I'm so sad. Is this the kind of annoying image you have of the teacher with the blurry QR code? Of course, if you want, I can too...]

[Star: Shut up! No way!]

[Sunday: Robin. I never imagined that even when I had no time to take care of her, she would still be so devoted, not only busy with her performing career but also worrying about Pinocchio's safety.]

[Fireworks: How about we talk about where safety and security come from?]

[March 7th: Do you really have the right to say such things?]

[Star: Good grief, are you three eating snakes? But speaking of which, the robin's actions of exploring the "unknown darkness" are quite in line with the image of those supporting characters in mystery comics, who risk their lives to discover the killer's true identity and then provide the protagonist with crucial information... Ahem, old man, I'm not saying anything more, can you put the sun down?]

Damn it, I accidentally followed in Hanabi's footsteps!

[Sunday: Well, you might have misunderstood. I was just worried you might find the temperature in Pinocchio a little chilly.]

In the light screen, the firefly, like a local eager to repay a debt of gratitude, diligently fulfilled its role as a tour guide.

At the Audi shopping center, she enthusiastically recommended one of her favorite shops: "This is it. Have you ever heard the saying—in dreams, hunger is the most precious spice?"

"This place has most of Pinocchio's signature dishes, like clockwork pizza, oakwood cake rolls, alfalfa salad... and classic Sorida! Pick whatever you like, it's on me!"

Xing listened intently, her mouth watering: "My spending habits are a bit high..."

Liu Ying blinked: "Y-It should be fine, right? I do have some savings... Pick whatever you like, it's on you."

Xing took the budget from Liuying and ordered one of each of the dishes she wanted to eat.

Hey, what a coincidence, I have just enough money!

Liu Ying stared at the bill, dumbfounded, and forced a smile: "Ah, this...this..."

"Have you ordered yet? You... have good taste! Haha... Well, I'll pay the bill then..."

"Um..." Her lips trembled slightly, and her hand quivered as she paid. "Next... let's go this way..."

[March 7th: Star, you really spent every last penny?!]

[Star: Ah, this...]

[Firework: That little gray-haired guy is so mean! Firefly just barged in, and even her identity is fake, so where did she get the money? She must have earned it by working illegally here beforehand, but who would have thought that the heartless little gray-haired guy would spend it all!]

[Star: I...I deserve to die! Firefly, send me your account number. Whatever you want to eat, it's all on me.]

"..." Liu Ying stared at the light screen, her expression stiff and disappointed.

Silver Wolf offered a subtle reassurance: "Well, you know Firefly, Xing's personality is just like that. If she still has her memories, she definitely won't..."

"Silver Wolf!" Firefly suddenly shouted, startling her companion. Before Silver Wolf could even compose himself, Firefly berated him, "Silver Wolf, you must have brought a lot of money, right? Lend me 200 million! Besides food, the amusement park rides cost money too. Star Baby can't not have enough fun!"

"..." Silver Wolf's eye twitched. So, your disappointed expression just now was out of self-blame?!

[Star: Yingbao, are you there? I'll give you 200 million to show you how to be cool and take you to new heights!]

Silver Wolf, suddenly bombarded with a mouthful of PDA, erupted in fury: "You two, go spend her money! I've never heard of a date emptying your best friend's wallet!"

……

Within the light screen, fireflies carried stars on their journey.

"Considering this is your first time here, let's start with the simplest one. The Dreamy Arrangement and Lucky Wheel are both very easy to play."

The two were carefree and had a great time.

The robin, however, was dumbfounded, observing from the shadows: "Just... here to play games?"

Although she couldn't hear the resonance, ever since she started shopping, she couldn't ignore the joyful melody emanating from the bottom of her heart that Ying had.

I've never heard of bad people doing bad things like this.

"It seems I was overthinking it. I'm sorry, Hoshi... and Miss Firefly. Perhaps it was just a beautiful encounter, nothing more."

[Saifei: Haha, so it really wasn't just here to play games, but... the Star Core Hunters sent the perfect candidate. They don't even need a disguise; their ability to deceive outsiders is flawless.]

[Fireworks: After all, who would have thought that a veteran of Grammer would be so love-struck? In a war concerning the survival of civilization, it's simply not in the same league.]

[Silver Wolf: Firefly, let's talk this over. Can you speak normally? I'm getting goosebumps all over. Star won't hate you for something like that.]

[Firefly: Stop talking, stop talking...]

The act of pretending to be innocent and sweet was exposed in front of Xing...

[Star: No! I like it this way. Firefly is willing to hide her sharpness and be submissive to me. Others would love to have such a chance! I love this favoritism. Anyone who goesssips will be taught a lesson about how rules can be broken!]

[Firefly: Star, what do you like...mia~~!]

Liu Ying's cheeks flushed, her eyes darted around, and fine beads of sweat evaporated directly from her head into wisps of heat.

[Silver Wolf: Can this happen in dreams too?]

[March 7th: Star, you don't need to be so abstract at times like this. Just talk to me normally normally!]

The robin felt a little embarrassed. If a big star were caught spying on couples shopping and looking on expectantly, it would definitely cause a lot of troublesome and bizarre news if gossip paparazzi found out.

"I think I'll leave this dream and see if things improve when I return to reality..."

Just as I was about to leave, unfortunately, or rather, just happened to hear another sound.
