Chapter 199 Pinocchio (11) "Of course! Aha, whatever you want..."
The stalemate with Ragus did not last long.
Neither side could gain the upper hand, and the outcome would have to wait until a week later to disrupt Onphalus's plans once again.
“Even my movements are restricted?” Lai Gushi said softly. “I have indeed underestimated you, sir.”
But he remained confident: "In the end, I will still be the victor. With the wrath of Caiuslana, the power of the Iron Tomb will be unprecedented, and the heat death it brings to the galaxy will be unmatched."
He Yuan ignored him.
After confirming that everything was alright, they boarded the starship that had followed them back to the train.
Pam stared wide-eyed when she saw him leave in the morning and return at noon.
“Crane Kite, why did you suddenly come back, Pam!” Pam asked nervously, fearing that Crane Kite had come to say goodbye and leave the train forever.
He Yuan stopped and suddenly picked up Pam, holding her higher than herself. "I've finished my business, of course I have to come back."
He winked at Pam, feigning sadness as he asked, "Doesn't the train conductor welcome me?"
Despite still being in the air, Pam immediately shook her head, "No, Pam!"
He reached out and patted Crane Kite's head with a sigh of relief. "Crane Kite, welcome back!"
Pam had no idea what earth-shattering things Crane had done, nor how he had cleverly delayed a disaster and saved several planets...
All he knew was that his most cherished and original companions had returned.
That's enough.
After being put down, Pam straightened her apron and said earnestly, "Thank you for your hard work, Crane Kite passenger. Is there anything you'd like to eat? Pam will make it!"
He Yuan sat down and thought seriously: "I want to eat some crispy and fragrant Pam Pie, and a cup of black tea!"
"It would be even better if the train conductor ate with me!"
Pam immediately went to the kitchen and started fiddling around.
Taking advantage of this brief respite, Mikhail, who had been itching to join in, stepped forward and casually asked, "Would the great hero be interested in telling me how he saved the world?"
Tirnan sat down, twirling the hat in his hand, which caught He Yuan's attention.
“Of course,” He Yuan said without hesitation. “I can tell you after I finish eating.”
He stopped talking about it and looked at Tirnan instead, "How does it spin? Can you teach me?"
Tirnan nodded readily, "Of course."
He naturally sat down next to He Yuan, placing his hand on hers as he taught her.
Mikhail: "???"
Wait, bro, when did you come up with this idea?!
Watching the two learn from each other, he racked his brains trying to think of what skills he could show off.
Are you suggesting I perform a watch repair demonstration on stage?
No matter how you look at it, it won't work!
But the two people over there were getting a little ambiguous while playing with their hats.
He Yuan stopped playing and pushed Tirnan away, saying, "Alright, alright, I've learned it. Time to eat."
Sigh, I'm so preoccupied with things over there that I don't have time to date anyone else to distract myself.
He Yuan once again launched into a vicious exchange of insults, even though they had never met before.
Mikhail noticed his low spirits and cautiously asked, "Would you like to read some Watchboy comics?"
After He Yuan showed interest, Mikhail, who usually procrastinated on his work, finished a short story in just one morning.
He Yuan showed some interest. "May I take a look?"
The short comic was quickly transmitted to his jade tablet, depicting the story of how Clockwork Boy and his friends met.
Among them, Captain Revolver is Tiernan, Princess Mirror is Lazarina, and Mr. Iris is Crane Iris. Mikhail weaves together one character after another from small stories, making the crew of the Compass increasingly diverse.
“I really like it.” He Yuan directly expressed her feelings. “Misha, you are very talented.”
Being praised by a loved one is a very happy thing. Mikhail was so excited that he took out his tools and started drawing, as if he wanted to finish it today.
He Yuan smiled and said, "Don't rush, good stories take time. We haven't even stepped off the Compass yet to embark on our adventures in a new world."
Mikhail did as he was told, putting away his tools and trying to find topics to chat about.
Gradually, He Yuan's anxiety subsided, and she looked calmly at the starry sky outside the window.
Good stories do need time to develop, but that doesn't mean the game developers can slow down their progress!
Why can't we see the ending now!
He Yuan opened the system and wrote a long complaint letter, the contents of which were all about why Onfaros had a limit of once a week.
The response this time was much faster than before.
After He Yuan finished eating, a red dot appeared in her email.
He opened it, and there was an email lying quietly inside.
The email was long and rambling, but in short, due to production limitations, the storyline of Onpharos was still undergoing final integration. Currently, he was the only player in the entire player base heading to Onpharos, and the development team's production capacity couldn't keep up with his pace. They hoped he could play Pinocchio for a while before proceeding.
Crane Kite: ? ? ?
No? They brought it out before it was finished? ???
He was so angry that he filed a whole bunch of complaints online.
Finally, I want to emphasize—
[The option to make dumplings must be included!!!]
[If you don't make dumplings, I'll immediately give you a bunch of bad reviews!]
System reply: [Suggestion included]
He Yuan pressed the button again, but the system didn't respond.
Is there an option to make dumplings?
Is there a happy ending?
If you give him a 2.0 version of the past, he'll really cause trouble!
Perhaps annoyed by him, the system slowly replied: 【It will happen, it will happen, but the conditions are very strict. Please improve your level and strength as much as possible.】
What's the difference between this and openly stating that Onpharos is very difficult and that if you don't improve your strength, you'll get a Bad Ending?
Despite her anger, He Yuan was still relieved that this was the key to breaking the deadlock.
Come to think of it, even the Genius Club has mobilized, and I can still summon the Immortal Boat Alliance, so a disastrous bad ending is unlikely. But if I don't have the strength, I probably won't be able to achieve the most perfect ending.
He closed the system interface and looked out at the starry sky.
For a moment, he suddenly wanted to go out and escape for a while.
Since leaving Onpharos, he had been under immense pressure. So much had happened in just half a day that he had become too impatient.
He's playing the game purely out of obsession with a happy ending.
This is not a good mindset.
He Yuan felt she needed to be more cold-blooded, and hesitantly clicked the "Exit" button, but couldn't bring herself to press "OK".
He's in a really bad mood right now, he should quit the game and find a nice place to play!
Although there might be some restrictions on his personal freedom outside, he'll still get to have fun...
"What's troubling A-Yuan?"
Aha suddenly hugged him from behind, grinning as he asked, "Are you unhappy? If you're unhappy, how about going out to play with Aha?"
"I'll make A-Yuan happy!"
He Yuan waved her hand slightly, returning to the system interface.
He said fiercely, "Fine, I'll go out with you. If I'm not satisfied, I'll be the first to hit you!"
Ahha was overjoyed. "Of course! Ahha, you can do whatever you want with me!"
