Following the road, Lin Yuan tried to chat with several dream chasers of different identities and races, and also tried to implant some false memories into these people using his mysterious abilities.
The result intrigued Lin Yuan, and some bold ideas began to take shape in his mind.
As he pondered, he suddenly realized he had arrived at the Aude Shopping Center, the busiest commercial district during peak hours. It was founded by old Aude, the head of the Clover family.
Lin Yuan recalled the short, old man with the manic laugh of Pipi Xi, and the thought of extorting money from him arose in his mind.
Shops lined both sides of the road, offering a dazzling array of goods.
Looking at this scene brimming with consumerism, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile. He was about to engage in a period of revenge spending.
At Pinocchio, he happily acquired a Steinway Peregrine luxury flying car.
At the clockwork restaurant, he bought out all the oak-crusted cake rolls.
At the Dream Clothing Store, he watched the shop assistant, Cocona, singing softly at the entrance, and imagined a beautiful memory in his mind.
After going around in circles, Lin Yuan returned to the plaza of the Aodi Shopping Center. Seeing a huge eyeball in one corner, he walked straight ahead.
"Welcome to the Dream Shop! Dr. Edward is at your service!"
With her big eyes fixed on Lin Yuan, she spoke.
"Dude, how much does one of these dreams cost?"
"10 credits per credit."
"Holy crap, is your dream made of gold, or is the person dreaming it made of gold?"
"Sir, these are all unique dreams. Each dream has a different flavor and cannot be measured by money."
"Okay, I'll take all the Dream Bubbles in your inventory."
"For a new friend like you, I can let you try it for free... huh?"
Edward, the owner of the Dream Shop, suddenly widened his eyes.
"Of course, you can also do me a small favor in return. I'm a writer from the galaxy, and I once had an interesting dream—I'm going to sell this dream to you. How about you help me promote it? We can do each other's business."
"Oh? You want to experience a service for seasoned clients: give me your dreams, and I'll use them to create personalized dream bubbles that you can experience repeatedly, based on relevant emotional archetypes?"
"That's right, let's read this dream."
Dr. Edward closed his eyes slightly, as if drifting off to sleep.
The story is simple. It's roughly from the time when pigeons carried branches... oh no, a long, long time ago, there was a beautiful place. There, everyone was equal, and every family was filled with joy.
But one day, a dragon came. It breathed fire, crushed houses, and chased away all happiness.
A brave young man overcame countless difficulties to climb the world's highest peak and cried out to the purple sun on the horizon: "Purple sun, please grant me equal power!"
The purple sun cast its rays, granting him the power he sought.
The boy returned to his homeland and took away the dragon's flames, claws, and ferocity, one by one. In the end, the young mortal, through his own efforts, slew the dragon.
The valley regained its peace and happiness. From then on, the purple sun forever hung in the sky, guarding the dawn of equality.
Dr. Edward reopened his eyes: "Sir, a classic fairy tale can only happen in dreams. If only there were a sun like this in this universe."
The big-eyed boy told a joke on his own initiative.
What kind of emotion would you like to convey?
"Peace and tranquility, I want everyone to forget their troubles and find solace in this dream."
“Excellent, sir. I will recommend it to everyone—the boisterous Pinocchio welcome fairy tale. We need more ballad-like stories like The Clockwork Boy.”
Not long after, Lin Yuan, having completed his purchase, left with several copies of Dream Bubble.
The neon lights were reflected in his eyes as he chuckled softly, "Childhood memories are always the most cherished, aren't they?"

Chapter 282 Hunter, Open Your Eyes
Adien Park
This is an amusement park invested and built by Sulta Company. Amusement facilities are everywhere, and guests can enjoy honey wine and forget their troubles here.
After leaving the Aodi Shopping Center, Lin Yuan came here.
Looking at the towering golden gashapon machine and all sorts of arcade games before me, I realized that just a few Ideon game coins were enough to keep me entertained all day long.
It might be a bit childish for children, but it's just right for an adult like him.
However, Lin Yuan wasn't there to have fun. He walked to the stage where the central musical instruments played automatically and sat down at the brightly lit bar. He waved to the bartender in front of him:
"Give me a bourbon cocktail, and a Soleda with triple sugar for this gloomy-looking gentleman next to me. In Pinocchio, someone can actually be this worried? It's on me."
The bartender smiled and agreed, then began mixing the drinks.
Hearing the noise, the young man next to him looked up and sized up the person who was speaking.
Upon seeing the unfamiliar face before him, Sand Gold frowned slightly. Quickly, his dazzling pupils subtly scanned him up and down, and a smile crept onto his lips:
“Friend, three times the sweetness? My smile might really turn bitter. Such politeness makes me a little uneasy. Why don't you get straight to the point? What brings you here?”
"Hehe." Lin Yuan chuckled.
"I thought people in the company liked to engage in these kinds of formalities. In that case, could you please tell me, sir, what was the outcome of the strategic investment department's trip?"
Sand Gold's pupils contracted slightly, a flash of wariness crossing his eyes, but his facial expression remained unchanged:
"When you ask this question, are you a friend of the company, or are you choosing to be an enemy of the company?"
Seeing the slightly dangerous look in Sha Jin's eyes, Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly.
Just then, the bartender brought over his drink. Lin Yuan waved the bartender away, took a small sip, and felt an explosive sensation spread across his tongue.
A look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes, and he then raised his glass towards the gold dust:
"Don't be nervous, my friend. This should be our first offline meeting since we became friends, right?"
Sand Gold paused for a moment upon hearing this. Hearing the words "friends circle," he suddenly seemed surprised: "You are?"
"Your Sulfa"
Lin Yuan nodded and pushed the golden drink towards the other person.
Seeing that the other party didn't deny it, Sand Gold was somewhat shocked. If what he thought was true, wouldn't the person in front of him be...?
Just then, his pocket vibrated. Sand Gold's eyes flickered, and he took out his terminal, only to see that Lin Yuan had sent him a "Cheers" emoji.
In this way, there will be no more doubts.
Sand Gold tried to stand up. Who could have imagined that a guardian envoy had already silently arrived in Pinocchio!
He was both excited and cautious about this person.
Not long ago, Diamond from the Strategic Investment Department sent them a video in the department group chat.
The video shows the battle between the Market Development Department's fleet and the Annihilation Lord Star Roar. Due to confidentiality reasons, this footage was not released to the media and was only shown to senior executives of a certain level within the company.
Recalling the terrifying battle scenes and traces in that picture, Sand Gold couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
The one who shines brightest, the hammer of preservation, the pinnacle of individual combat power, the strongest in the company's new era. Sand Gold, pondering the rumors circulating privately these past few days, raised his head with a complex expression:
"Sir, what brings you to Pinocchio...?"
He spoke in a tactful tone, but Lin Yuan understood what he meant.
"Don't worry, I'm on a private vacation this time. I'm not interested in diamonds or your strategic investment department's plans. Rather, I'd like to say that I hope you can successfully complete the project."
Lin Yuan smiled.
"After all, the positions in the market development department are already a bit crowded."
He didn't elaborate, then immediately changed the subject:
"But you looked so worried just now, what's wrong? Is something not going well?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.
"No, sir, it's just that there are too many annoying guys in this place."
Sand Gold took a sip of Sulphuric Acid, his face twitching slightly. But seeing Lin Yuan watching with interest, he swallowed it.
Excessive sugar intake can sometimes bring suffering, just like happiness.
"Oh, I see. This Pinocchio truly lives up to its reputation as a star of the event; it's certainly quite lively. Let me see—you bear traces of pleasure, marks of memory, and... harmony?"
As Lin Yuan spoke casually, Sha Jin's expression changed drastically. He subconsciously reached for his waist, only to see Lin Yuan wave him off indifferently.
"What are you afraid of? With the diamond base on your person, you are one-tenth of the Commander. How can these heretics get close? However, as the company's representative, wielding the power of a Commander, how can you let those guys treat you badly? Where is the company's authority?"
Hearing the teasing tone in Lin Yuan's voice, Sha Jin dropped his pretense, touched his face, and revealed a self-deprecating expression.
"Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a task to help you relax. There's a reward for it."
Sand Gold instantly became serious: "Please give your orders, Your Excellency."
"You must have brought your men with you. I have a memory bubble here. Find a way to have your men help me spread its contents, whether it's through investment, cooperation with the Clover family, or some street tactics, black or white, it depends on your abilities."
"Sir, what is this?"
Looking at what Lin Yuan was holding, Sand Gold revealed a tense and cautious expression.
"Don't worry, it's nothing dangerous, just a fairy tale suitable for all ages."
Lin Yuan smiled.
"And this is your reward."
The young man took a card out of his pocket and pushed it in front of the gold dust.
"I only give my treasured business cards to people I trust. Holding one might bring you protection from danger if you encounter any challenges."
Looking at the card in front of him, Sand Gold's eyes flashed with surprise, followed by a hint of excitement.
He carefully put it away, stood up, and greeted Lin Yuan.
"Sir, time is money, I have to go to work. Oh, and bartender, this gentleman's entire bill is on me today."
With a wave of his hand, the gold dust spun around. The metal coins rose into the air and stacked on the platform like chips, making a crisp clinking sound.
Lin Yuan smiled as he watched this scene: "Company people, go ahead with confidence. Cunhu will be watching over you."
