Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

In other words, should it be called the power of faith?

Lin Yuan smiled as he watched the figures rushing down from the stage. He then quickened his pace and followed closely behind.

The incident that occurred on the beautiful campus of Origami University originated from the behind-the-scenes manipulator, Acting Principal "Banana Sho," and his henchmen.

These monkeys were all followers of the original doctor, a member of the genius club. No, rather than followers, they were just one-way followers.

They spread through a meme virus called the Banana Monkey, which in Pinocchio's dreams regresses humans into apes.

According to the original plot, Lin Yuan originally thought they would only dare to take action after the Harmonious Music Ceremony.

Unexpectedly, the Sleeping Banana Monkey has already spread throughout Origami University. However, compared to when the main characters arrived, its scale and influence are not yet this large.

"How can you allow something to happen right under my nose, Dr. Primal?"

This mysterious member of the genius club was Lin Yuan's planned target, and he was very curious about his research and plans.

"Hopefully, we can find your trail through these monkeys, Dr. Primal."

Lin Yuan stepped into the teaching building and walked through the bustling crowd. People around him subconsciously made way for him, but no one noticed him.

........

"boom!"

The classroom door was suddenly flung open, and a prospective club member wearing a monkey headgear rushed in, shouting.

"Help! Help! Something terrible has happened!"

"Huh? Who's making such a racket? Who's instructing you on manners?!"

In the middle of the classroom, a tall Dream Theater machine stood up, and an angry monkey face appeared on the television screen.

“Dream Builder, you...you're here too.”

The prospective commune member was startled, and his voice trembled.

“Tell me what happened. If you can’t answer, I’ll have to give you a private ‘banana lesson’ after school.”

"Yes, yes, that's right, just now in the square..."

The messenger shuddered and quickly reported what had just happened to Master Zhumeng.

"Oh? What's going on? Prohibited content has appeared in this serious academic discussion. It must be corrected. Come on, everyone, it's our turn to properly correct them."

The Dream-Building Teacher let out a deep, sinister laugh, and many of the Dream Theater's machine-like assistants rubbed their hands together, eager to get started.

Just then, the classroom door suddenly made a sound.

The monkeys looked over at the sound and saw a young man leisurely walk into the classroom, then firmly close the door and test its sturdiness.

"Who are you? This isn't banana school time!"

"Who let you in!"

The bananas roared.

"No, let him come over." The Dream Weaver waved his hand.

"It seems there are some promising talents who want to actively learn about dream-building knowledge and contribute to the cause of education. What's your name...?"

Before he could finish speaking, a cold glint flashed in the young man's eyes.

Its form vanished instantly, and the next moment, Lin Yuan's clenched fist slammed into its inhuman body.

In the blink of an eye, under the gaze of everyone, the space inside the classroom suddenly distorted.

Centered on Lin Yuan's fist, Banana Master's entire body began to disintegrate and then turned into ashes.

Lin Yuan withdrew his fist, and all the gazes and lights dimmed on his fist, even the sound was completely silenced.

A moment later, apart from the member of the Sleeping Banana Society who had come to report the news, all the other banana masters and assistants were gone without a single part remaining. The lively classroom suddenly fell silent.

"Keep going, keep sending them messages, be more efficient."

Lin Yuan erased the member's memory of what had just happened, leaving only his desire to deliver the message.

Watching the other person leave in a daze, he quietly observed them, a gentle smile on his face.

Chapter 301 Presentation

"boom!"

The classroom door was kicked open again, and members of the Sleeping Banana Club rushed in, shouting:

"Help! Help! Something terrible has happened!"

But when he looked around, he found the classroom empty, with no one in sight.

"Where are the banana helpers? Who knows what might happen if we're any later!"

The prospective commune member broke out in a cold sweat, quickly turned around, and ran towards the next location.

Origami Academy has three flagship programs: Harmony Academy, Dream Academy, and Wealth Academy.

After leaving the classroom, the members headed straight to the Wealth Academy to find a Wealth Mentor.

This wealth master is a lecturer who is well-versed in human nature and the desire to get rich.

He was considered one of the top figures in the entire Banana Masters Group. After all, in Pinocchio, in this decadent land where countless dreams and desires converged, the desire for wealth was most pronounced.

Arriving at the main avenue of the Wealth Academy, one finds it filled with all sorts of stalls.

The college teaches students not in the classroom, but at booths. Students sell their products to the best of their ability to earn credits.

But now, the stalls that used to have a wide variety of products are now filled with sleeping banana monkeys. However, although the products are the same, the items being sold are all different.

The first stall's sleeping banana monkeys are named Happy. They have a built-in "Sleeping Banana Song" that allows people to immerse themselves in happy music anytime, anywhere.

The second stall features a sleeping banana monkey named "Companion," which can talk and move, providing consumers with a rare sense of companionship.

The third stall's sleeping banana monkey is named "Emotional Value," it—

"Something terrible has happened! Master Banana, something horrible has occurred!"

The sudden sound interrupted the banana master's lesson to the students. The screen on its mechanical body instantly turned into a ferocious expression, then into a smiling face.

"Dear students and customers, that concludes today's lesson. This third booth features our new product from Wealth Academy: the Sleeping Monkey Partner!"

It won't compete with you for grades, it won't try to outdo you, and it certainly won't steal your things. You can trust it completely and keep your little secrets together. The product will be launched soon, so please come and support it!

After saying this, the Wealth Master led the messenger to a dark corner.

"Damn it, what are you yelling about, bananas! You've ruined our banana studies plan. You'll be used as research material now!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Banana, it's like this..."

The messenger then began to recount the situation with great trepidation.

"What? You're saying someone is spreading ideas that praise the sun? Foolish! What's there to praise about the sun? Can it be eaten like a banana? Can it bring wealth and happiness like a monkey sleeping on a banana?"

And...you said the Dream Weavers and their assistants are missing? What about my goods? No, your memories have been altered..."

The Wealth Master's screen suddenly changed, and he stared intently at the person in front of him.

"Who's causing trouble here? Forget it, what a hopeless case, being used without even realizing it. No wonder your value seems so low. Want to become a full member of the Sleeping Banana Society and participate in the Banana Award and our experiments?"

Forget it, instead of wasting resources on Banana Academy, you'd be better off becoming a commodity of my Wealth Academy. What name should I give a piece of trash like you? Failed Little Monkey, Banana Banana Banana. Become a little monkey, become a happy sleeping banana little monkey.

As soon as the Wealth Banana Master finished speaking, a sleeping banana monkey appeared before them, while the person from before had vanished without a trace.

This is the meme virus; once it fully triggers a person's emotions and desires, it causes a reversal of degeneration.

"Hey, outsider, you've had a good show. It seems you were behind it all."

The banana master stared at the shadows and asked a question.

"Oh? You were able to detect the anomaly. It seems you're a bit smarter than your pathetic kind."

Lin Yuan stepped out of the shadows.

"Of course, I, Master Banana, am a proper third-class research ape. Who are you? A member of a family? I didn't expect you to have the leisure to meddle in other people's business during the Harmony Ceremony?"

"No, no, I came here for justice only; this is a righteous act."

"Justice? You mean those damned bastards! No, banana, bullshit! A righteous act? You could have saved this guy, but you chose to stand by and do nothing. What kind of justice are you talking about? Banana banana banana..."

The banana master made a mocking sound.

"Isn't there you I still have?" Lin Yuan smiled.

"Tell me, little monkey, where is your banana offering, leader?"

"It seems you know us very well, Banana. Unfortunately, I won't tell you—"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yuan suddenly pressed his palm down on Banana Master's head. A bright light flashed for a moment, and Banana Master instantly turned into ashes.

Lin Yuan turned his head to look in the direction of the square, his eyes flashing.

He no longer chose to consult the Banana Master, simply because he had just discovered that his solar meme had suddenly grown much stronger. A directional force was flowing along the path of cause and effect.

This force is mottled and chaotic, containing all sorts of emotions, worries, and desires.

Of course, after being transmitted to Lin Yuan, everything was refined by the Refining Void Tribulation Sun and became pure energy.

It is like the real universe, embracing all things and encompassing everything.

Or perhaps it's like the true self, getting back to the source and rejecting external things.

"It seems we no longer need to search for Jiao Shou's whereabouts. With such a commotion, something big must have happened."

Lin Yuan quickly left the area, his gaze sweeping over the sleeping banana monkeys on the stall.

Having witnessed what had just happened, he guessed that these little monkeys might have originally been real people.

Upon arriving in Pinocchio, I was confronted with a life of extravagance and a stark contrast between reality and my ideals.

They either lost themselves and succumbed to desires, or they became disheartened and lost the will to be human.

But they have lost their dreams, and who has the right to decide to turn them into monkeys and then turn them into commodities to be bought and sold?

"This goes against the will of Heaven; it is evil and heretical, and should be punished."

Lin Yuan snorted coldly and left the Wealth Academy.
