Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 445 Pinocchio Epilogue 2

"For Director Eve?"

Sand Gold still didn't understand Toppa's meaning.

So much happened at Pinocchio after his death.

"Let's get out of here first."

Emerald looked around and saw that quite a few tourists had already gathered there.

Now they have to rethink how to handle Pinocone.

The company's fleet is parked outside, and the family's leader will probably be able to find it soon.

After all, anyone would panic if this thing were parked in front of their house.

The second floor of the tavern.

"So, Pinocone is a real company now?"

After hearing the whole story, Sand Gold found it hard to believe.

Has the land of dreams become a reality?

“Yes.” Topa nodded.

“Director Eve pulled Pinocchio out of his dream.”

"Although this significantly diminishes Pinocone's value, the company still sees it as worth developing."

"If that's the case, then why is it for Eve's board of directors to acquire ownership of Pinocone?" Sand King continued to ask.

“Because Director Eve has already broken free from the company’s control,” Emerald said bluntly.

That's what Diamond also told her.

The throne was already a force to be reckoned with, but now the company is unsure of what level Eve has reached.

At least, the company doesn't dare to gamble.

The only strategy now is to appease Eve. As long as Eve can retain her title as an honorary director, nothing else matters.

Pinocone's value is insignificant compared to Eve's.

Therefore, the diamonds gave them new instructions.

Take back ownership of Pinocone and hand it over to Eve's board of directors.

First, the family has gone through this incident, and its control and prestige over Pinocone have basically disappeared, making now the best time for the company to move in.

Secondly, Pinocchio is now essentially a re-creation of the company by Director Eve, and should rightfully be controlled by Director Eve.

Ultimately, the company can also reap considerable benefits from this decision, though the extent of those benefits may vary.

"Since it's Diamond's decision, I have no objection."

"Because diamonds never make mistakes."

Alluvial gold has great faith in the judgment of diamonds.

In addition, his original mission upon arriving at Pinocone was to acquire ownership of Pinocone.

It doesn't matter who it's for.

..............

Meanwhile, the golden moment...

In front of the Clockwork Boy statue.

Firefly silently gazed at the statue, the wind blowing from afar causing her hair to flutter, as if telling a story.

Silver Wolf's projection suddenly appeared beside Firefly.

"A life of extravagance and debauchery, just like Aprilon. How about it? Does it match your imagined 'dream'?"

Liu Ying turned her head. "You asked this question before, when we first arrived here."

“Yes, I remember your answer was ‘no’ back then. But after everything that’s happened, I think you actually quite like it.” Silver Wolf was intrigued.

"However, let me remind you: don't forget that you're still on the Hound family's wanted list, so keep a low profile."

"And this time it's different from before; the photo doesn't show 'Sam,' but 'fireflies'—that must be quite a novel experience for you, right?"

Firefly closed her eyes. "Indeed, to use Kaffa's words... this is also the 'missing part' of my life."

"However, not being able to move freely is quite inconvenient. Silver Wolf, can you help me?"

Silver Wolf smiled slightly, "I knew you would say that—don't worry, it's all taken care of. I hacked the system completely, leaving no trace."

"Don't do anything that attracts attention, and don't mess with the guards who remember you. If you follow these two rules, no one will care about you, and you can go wherever you want."

"Thank you," Liu Ying said with a sweet smile.

"You're welcome, 'Ms. Samuel'—haha, I like this pseudonym."

"Our mission at Pinocchio is complete. What are you planning to do with your free time now? I heard the Genius Club is here too. Want to come and play something big with me?"

"The Genius Club?" Liu Ying asked in confusion.

"Have you heard of Ruan Mei?" Silver Wolf asked.

"It's said to be for Eve."

"For Eve?" Firefly was slightly lost in thought.

Pinocone left a deep impression on her this time.

"Silver Wolf, you know my 'script' isn't finished yet."

Silver Wolf frowned slightly. "I helped you hack the system, not so you could do this kind of thing."

"Don't worry. The script only says that the Star of the Event will grant me three 'deaths.' But it also mentions that I will gain 'unforgettable experiences' here."

"Wait, wait, wait!" Silver Wolf immediately stopped him.

"Pinocone is now a reality, and death is now a reality."

"I won't let you do something like that," Silver Wolf said urgently.

“Elliot’s script is unavoidable and cannot be defied, is it?” Firefly countered.

"This..." Silver Wolf was speechless.

"So, how will we know if we don't try? Before the outcome actually happens, all possibilities exist, right?" Firefly continued.

“You may not know that you have a bad habit: whenever you use a questioning tone, you’ve already made up your mind, and no one can dissuade you.” Silver Wolf sighed.

"Never mind, Kafkato, I'll pass on a message: 'If you see anything good in Pinocchio, bring one back for me too. Just swipe my card; you know the PIN.'"

"She didn't say exactly what it was, but I'm guessing it was something like a suit, coat, or sunglasses... Anyway, you know more about fashion than I do; you're the ones who usually talk about these kinds of things."

“Okay, I’ll keep an eye out. The Audemars Piguet shopping mall has a lot of options. Do you think she’d like pretty little accessories, like… hair accessories and brooches?”

"That sounds more suitable for young girls. You should keep it for yourself." Silver Wolf shrugged.

"Also, Blade warned you to be careful. He didn't say it explicitly, but that's probably what he meant—'In Pinocchio, temptation will reappear'—he's really good at being subtle."

"It's alright, he just meant well. Don't worry, Silver Wolf, you know me."

The fireflies nodded.

Seeing that Silver Wolf was still uneasy, Firefly continued.

"You know, I can't do anything, I just want to walk around, look around, or take a nap."

"Whether it's a nightmare or a beautiful dream, I enjoy it."

"And I want to buy an oak cake roll. During my time in Pinocchio, I ate a cake roll every day, from the first day to the last."

“But today I can buy two and give you half. If you don’t like them, I can enjoy twice the happiness. Or I can give them to Kafka, she never refuses, or… give them to Blade, he’ll like them.”

“These things aren’t in the script, right? But look…”

“I have added a new footnote to ‘fate’.” Firefly smiled happily.

Silver Wolf fell silent.

"A footnote, I prefer to call it, freedom."

"Alright, go play, Miss." Silver Wolf laughed along.

"Also, there's something you're missing, isn't there?" Silver Wolf suddenly became gossipy.

"What?" Liu Ying asked in confusion.

"You want to go find Xing, and then there's that Eve guy." Silver Wolf had already seen through Firefly.

"I...I...I have to say goodbye eventually, don't I?" Liu Ying lowered her head, feeling a sense of defeat at being exposed.

"Okay, that's your prerogative."

“We are all heroes of our lives, aren’t we?” Silver Wolf snapped his fingers.

"This sentence..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying was filled with emotion.

"Pinocone is all over the internet. Spending more time surfing the web will do you good."

"Also, if we see Eve, Blade would like to ask if Jingyuan got on the bus too," Silver Wolf continued.

"Okay, I know."

Bye-bye~

After saying that, Silver Wolf disappeared, leaving only Firefly standing quietly in front of the Clockwork Boy's statue.

"A hero...can I be one too?"

........

Daydream Hotel.

"Have you completed your mission?"

Black Swan sat opposite Adekett. She casually picked up her wine glass, leaving a lip print on the rim with her dark purple lipstick.

“Yes.” Adekte nodded.

The dark, thick sweetness of sherry spread through his mouth.

As an arbitrator, Adekter travels throughout the galaxy to enforce balance. On this long journey, he has experienced countless planets and cultures, and tasted all kinds of food and wine.

However, as time went on, his sense of taste gradually became bland, and he lost interest in many foods and drinks.

Nevertheless, sherry always brought him pleasure and satisfaction.

This became a source of comfort for Adekhart during his journey, and a small expectation for life. It was one of the few pleasures he had during that long and lonely trip.

"What are your thoughts on that Miss Eve?" Black Swan asked, swirling her wine glass.

“The people chosen by balance,” Adekter said.

It was not only a divine artifact of balance, but the entirety of balance itself; all of will was bestowed upon her.

This person is someone whose life is skewed towards a more balanced outcome.

He had never seen this in his years of practicing equilibrium.

"Was it just selected by the balance?" the Black Swan couldn't help but ask.

Miss Eve is bound by multiple destinies, and behind her lies not only balance but also traces of the activities of the Star God.

For example, the god of joy, Aha.

She wasn't just chosen by equilibrium, she was more like someone chosen by the galaxy.

The black swan is becoming increasingly interested in Eve.

I wonder how wonderful her memories must be.

“I don’t know, I’m just doing my job,” Adekter refused to answer the question.

"So, do you have any other tasks next?" Black Swan continued to ask.

What do you want to do?

"Catch up with old friends."

The black swan laughed.

For her, Adekter was an old friend she only saw once every ten years or so.

"Let's catch up next time?

Adekter downed the sherry in front of him in one gulp.

"There are still injustices in the Milky Way, waiting for me."

"The will of balance has issued a new directive: a war-torn world needs me."

The black swan looked at Adekter and sighed.

"Okay, I hope you'll still be here when we meet next time."

"Don't die, okay?"

"You too."

Adekter turned and walked out of the Daydream Hotel.

Pinocogni has now become a reality, while Adekert has vanished from the world in the blink of an eye.

............

The casino's break room.

Why did you choose such a place?

Hanabi stared at Sambo, who was showing off his sweets, with a look of utter disbelief.

"Isn't this place great? There are snacks, coffee, and look, even small pets."

Sambo kicked a passing mouse.

"You've really gone too far." Hanabi crossed her arms, her face full of disgust.

"Young girl, you really don't understand. Money is so hard to earn these days. If you don't get a good deal, you're losing out. I'm starving to death."

After finishing off all the snacks and refreshments in the tea room, Sangbo let out a satisfied burp.

"Alright, tell me what happened?"

"That person, shall we join you too?" Hanabi's expression turned serious.

"They're here, but they're not targeting us." Sangbo wiped his mouth.

“I know, it’s Eve.” Hanabi had already expected it.

I never expected that Lezi would value someone so much, since she doesn't seem to have much fun at all.

"Sister Eve, sigh, what a terrible woman." Sambo thought about it, still feeling lingering fear.

"What's next? Are you going back to the tavern?"

"of course."

“But I will come back,” Sambo continued.

“Pinocone has a huge business opportunity right now, and I, Old Sambo, will not give it up.”

"And what about you?" Sambo looked at Hanabi.

"Of course I'll stay at Pinocone."

"My fun is just beginning," Hanabi said with a smile.

"Okay, but remember not to go too far."

“Sister Eve is really scary,” Sambo warned.

"You don't need to tell me how terrible she is." Hanabi frowned.

She also recalled the time when she was trapped in the Infinite Golden Requiem.

The endless stream of dreams is truly terrifying.

"In short, the premise of having fun is that no one gets hurt, which has always been my philosophy."

"Goodbye."

Sambo put on the mask, and the mask, with its sorrowful and smiling faces, emitted a captivating light.

The next second, Sambo disappeared into the tea room.

"That's completely unnecessary."

"However, it's also quite fun."

The moment Hanabi stepped out of the tea room, she transformed into a casino employee and swaggered out of the casino.

When the actual staff members, preparing to slack off and sneak into the break room, came out with deep despair and bitter curses.

"Damn rats!"
