Chapter 221: Empty Dreams.
The real Aideen Park is truly worthy of the name of "park". It covers a very large area and not only has perfect greening and vegetation, but also has wild animals, lakes, and islands in the lake.
All kinds of game machines are scattered throughout this huge park. You can play as much as you want by inserting an Aideen token. There was even a poor boy who made a million dollars by using the capsule machine here - this is by no means a fictional story.
As long as you are lucky enough, a free token can make you a super rich here.
Of course, there are not only those classic slot machines, fishing machines and other arcade machines here, but also more complex games, FPS, RPG and so on.
However, only some of the game consoles' locations will be marked on the official park map, and visitors will have to find the rest by themselves... This is also part of the game, and the relevant strategy forums will provide more comprehensive real-time maps supplemented and improved by players.
"Gaming enthusiasts have formed a treasure hunting team. It's said that new consoles are still being discovered to this day, and some people even offer high prices for new games of a certain type... Maybe we can come across one."
Liuying walked forward while introducing the games to the two of them, and from time to time she would stop in front of some roadside game machines, take out a token and put it in, letting the two of them try to play.
These actions seemed normal, but Yue Yan had just realized that the other party was taking them a detour - they could obviously take a shortcut, but they had to make several turns.
The target of this behavior is also very obvious - the "guy full of joy" who has been following them.
That person had been following the three of them since they entered Aideen Park. She was absolutely certain he was the Masked Fool, as his aura was incredibly familiar. If she were to follow the game's plot, this stalker must be Hanabi disguised as Sambo...
However, even though she noticed it, Yue Yan did not expose the other party directly. Instead, she chose to follow Liuying and quietly watched the performance of the two.
Just like a cat-and-mouse game, the silver-haired lady who claimed to be a local of Pinocchio and regarded herself as a temporary actor not only keenly sensed the tracker hiding in the dark, but also used extremely clever anti-tracking skills, suddenly turning around at more complicated corners, blending into the crowd when conditions were right, and breaking away again when the time was right, etc.
All of this is done with skillful techniques and advanced technology, and both the expression and posture are very natural, making it almost impossible for others to detect any abnormality. The level of professionalism is enough to put the KGB to shame.
However, even so, she still couldn't shake off the guy who was following her... Not only because he was carrying two burdens, but the other party's tracking skills were also very strong.
It's like a cat-and-mouse game, she runs away and she chases, but it's hard to tell who is stuck.
……
……
After all the tokens were used up and the three of them were sweating profusely, they found an open-air bar, sat down, ordered a few drinks, and prepared to take a break.
"how do you feel?"
Liuying smiled and asked: "This beautiful dream, this golden moment, is still great when playing, right?"
"Indeed, there are no worries, no tomorrow. It's hard to imagine how happy those who have lived here since birth must be. This is indeed a great place."
Yue Yan bit the straw, took a sip of the carbonated drink in the cup and said:
"But it doesn't seem suitable for me, or rather, not suitable for me to live here permanently. It doesn't even rain here, let alone four seasons... There are only carnivals and dinners that are the same every day for years. It's a bit too monotonous, and I don't like it very much."
In her previous life, when the epidemic was at its worst, Yue Yan had a rare period of free time - she thought she had finally found a legitimate reason to stay at home and not go out, playing games, reading novels and watching anime every day, which would be very refreshing.
It should be said that at least in the initial period, she was really happy - every day she either played with her mobile phone or on the computer, watched videos online, and did not have to work, which was very comfortable.
But after two or three months, all that was left in her heart was emptiness - the games were still fun, the novels were still exciting, but for some reason, a feeling of emptiness slowly grew in her heart.
Maybe this kind of life is too boring.
It can be seen from Yue Yan's bold and innovative cooking style that she is not a person who likes the status quo. After experiencing the exciting alien adventure, she does not have much affection for Pinocchio's inclusive but seemingly empty dream.
"I see... I thought you would like this place very much."
A trace of thought flashed in Liuying's eyes: "After all, you seemed quite happy when you were playing the game just now."
"That's true. There's always a sense of novelty, and the game is indeed fun. After all, no matter how colorful the life of a nameless guest is, one still needs to stop and rest. A train is always on the road, and it also has to stop at stations along the way."
The girl did not deny this: "If I were to live here for a month or two, I would feel pretty good, but if I were to live here forever, forget it."
"Well, you're different from many people who come to Pinocchio for the first time. Those tourists always say they want to stay here forever..."
Liuying smiled, but then suddenly moved closer, cautiously whispered to the two of them:
"Um... I have another question. Besides you two, are there any other companions who came to Pinocchio?"
"Yes, there are several, but it's just the two of us at the golden moment."
Xing asked with some confusion: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"Well...that's because..."
"You mean someone is following us? And that person is nearby now."
Liuying was about to answer when Yueyan answered first:
"A man about 1 meters tall, with a strong physique, obviously trained, and with some tracking experience. He walks very lightly, without making any noise or leaving any footprints..."
As she spoke, she casually took the toothpick used to hold the decoration in the glass, played with it in her hand, and said with a smile:
"That guy has been following us since we entered Aideen Park. I've noticed him for a long time...
Sambo, my good brother, stalking a few ladies is not what an honest businessman should do, don't you think?
The next second, she casually threw the toothpick between her fingertips away.
The sharp bamboo stick made a sound of breaking through the air and flew towards a target at an extremely fast speed. The next second, the target narrowly avoided it. Then, a familiar voice was heard:
"Hey, my friend, it's been ages since we last met. You shouldn't be greeting me in this way, right?"

Chapter 222 Xing: So, don’t stop!
"Given your behavior just now, a normal woman would have called the Hounds by now and had them hold you down and take you to the police station."
The girl rolled her eyes and turned to look at her "old acquaintance" - a man with coquettish and flowing blue hair, a burgundy coat, handsome and mature but sinister facial features, and a pair of iconic emerald green pupils.
"Sambo, why are you here at Pinocchio?"
Although she knew that the person in front of her was not the real Uncle Hantui, Yue Yan did not directly expose Hua Huo's disguise, but continued to act with her.
"Isn't this all thanks to you guys?"
Sambo spread his hands:
"Thanks to you, Yalilo 6 is now open to the world, and I finally have the opportunity to go abroad and expand my business... Look, I just came here to do some small business and met you guys. I'm really lucky."
"So you guys know each other?"
Liuying was stunned: "I thought it was some bad guy looking for trouble. I was worried to death."
"Well, in some ways you're not wrong. This guy does occasionally cause trouble, often."
Xing calmly took a sip of her drink - for some reason, she didn't seem surprised to see Sambo here - she felt that it was reasonable for a guy like this to appear anywhere.
"Miss March, why don't you recognize me now?"
Hearing Liuying's words, Sanbo scratched his head in confusion:
"Old Sambo, I've helped you so much on Yalilo 6. Even if I haven't contributed any credit, I've certainly worked hard. You can't just forget me now, right?"
"She is not March, but an artist from the Iris family, Liuying."
Yue Yan reminded: "Sanyue is not as tall as her, nor does she have such long silver hair..."
"Oh, I see."
Upon hearing this, Sambo immediately acted as if he had suddenly understood something:
"I was wondering how Miss March had changed so much after not seeing her for a few months. Nice to meet you, Miss Firefly. My name is Sambo. I'm a friend of both of them, and I'm also a businessman who came to Pinocchio to do business."
……
In the following conversation, the fake Sambo enthusiastically took over the topic and invited the three to experience some "adult entertainment activities" that were in line with public order and good customs.
In fact, if you observe carefully, you can find that there are many unreasonable things in Hanabi's disguise... For example, Sambo will never mistake the difference between March and Firefly, because the gap between the two is huge, and he will never call Xing or Yueyan "friends", but good brothers.
Including some details of speaking style, walking posture, etc., are all different from Sambo.
The acting skills were not bad, but they could only deceive Xing. Yue Yan was sure that even if she didn't know the plot, she could easily sense the other party's abnormality.
……
"The place we're going to is too far. We can't walk there, and taking a taxi will probably take a while. But there's another way to get there quickly."
Sambo led the group to a pinball machine on the side of the road and introduced it with a smile:
"Old friends, let me introduce you to the most convenient and efficient means of transportation in the entire Pinocchio - the bubble pinball machine. It can take you to where you want to go in an unexpected and exciting way.
It's very efficient, much better than taxis or something like that."
"Pinball machine..."
Liuying said worriedly, "They haven't adapted to the dream state yet. It would be dangerous to use this rashly."
Reality... uh, the pinball machines in real dreams are not as safe and harmless as those in games where you just have to bounce a few times on the baffle in the air. Instead, they are exciting products only open to people over the age of 16.
It is similar to extreme sports such as bungee jumping. After the manned pinball is shot out, it will bounce wildly between the buildings of Pinocchio at an extremely fast speed and eventually fall into another pinball machine closest to the destination.
"Hey, Miss Liuying, this is our family's dreamland, a completely safe place built by the power of harmony. How can there be danger in a dream? We've come to Pinocchio, how can we not try the pinball machine?"
Sambo smiled and walked onto the pinball machine. "I'll go over first. You can just follow the coordinates I left above and shoot directly. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
The next second, he closed the hatch and was launched out with a burst of green light, crashing back and forth between the buildings before gradually disappearing into the distance...
Xing scratched his head:
"This……"
"It doesn't hurt to try it. Just think of it as trying something new... I'll go first."
Yue Yan didn't mind trying this new thing. She walked over and sat in the pinball cabin, and the other two also lined up one after another.
After three bangs, three more green marbles were launched, repeating the same trajectory at an extremely fast speed in the sky, and arrived at the destination about 3 minutes later.
……
When she came down, the girl only felt a little dizzy and her body was a little shaky, but she adapted quickly and was only dizzy for a few seconds.
Honestly, this stuff is pretty exciting:
"Hey, don't tell me, it's quite funny."
"It's good that you can adapt to it. Many timid people are so scared when they try pinball machines for the first time that they directly exit the dream."
Liuying arrived shortly afterwards - she looked very comfortable with the game, not feeling uncomfortable at all, and it was obviously not her first time playing it.
As for the last star we arrived at...
After this guy got down from the marble, he kept staggering and couldn't stand steadily, and he tried many times but to no avail.
Then he simply gave up struggling, lying face down on the ground, with his left hand in front of him and trying to stretch out an unwilling index finger, COSing as the team leader on the spot.
"So, don't stop..."
"Alright, get up. Is it necessary to have such a big reaction?"
But before he could finish his chant, Yue Yan interrupted him. She pulled Xing up and said:
"Let's go, Sambo is ahead... Let's see what this guy is up to."
"Oh……"
……
"Come on, we're here, Pipi Pipixi's salon. This is the great place I was talking about."
At the gate of a gathering place, Sambo stopped and introduced it with a smile: "This place is special. Besides the Pipisi people, only those with VIP cards can come in to play... You are lucky today."
The Pipisi people... the real natives of Pinocchio, lived here before the company transformed it into an interstellar prison. After the transformation was completed, they naturally became the first prisoners of the prison. After driving away their families, they formed the Alfalfa family that was in charge of Pinocchio's financial industry.
The richest man in Pinocchio, Old Otti, is a Pipisi, and the Otti Shopping Center in the Golden Hour is also his property.
The most notable feature of this race is that they have a pompom on their heads, and all of them are dwarfs, with most of them hovering around 1 meters tall... They are the type that can communicate with a certain Taibu Lord without having to lower their heads.

Chapter 223: Spinning like a top!
(Ps: A reminder, I was in a very bad state when I wrote this chapter. I don’t think it’s very good, and it was too rushed. You can skip it. I’m even considering deleting the last two chapters in the draft.)
Yue Yan really couldn't understand what fun could be in a place where dwarfs gathered - these Pipisi people could hardly hit their knees when they jumped.
She is not a captain, so she doesn't need to boost her self-confidence in this way.
……
After negotiating with the security guard at the door for a while, Sambo was told that he was not allowed to enter. In the end, he could only choose a compromise solution - he asked the security guard to get some things.
