Trying to prevent an Emanator from infiltrating is a bit of a stretch.

"Didn't you take the opportunity to ask for something in return? Like asking them to help promote your album on Xianzhou or something."

Lin Shuang looked at the Firefly curiously, but the Firefly smiled and shook its head, denying the claim.

"All right."

Lin Shuang smacked her lips, not continuing the conversation, and instead flipped her hand to take out yesterday's Tarot Cards.

"Miss Firefly, are you planning to draw another one today?"

Lin Shuang placed the Tarot Cards back on the table and extended an invitation to the Firefly.

Volume 1: Chapter 137 The Firefly: Lin Shuang, Become Mine

The Firefly looked at the Card on the coffee table in front of it.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, reached into the deck, and flipped a card over.

The card that was turned over depicted a goddess bending down to stroke a fierce lion.

Strength card

It symbolizes love and a strong will.

Although it is called 'Strength', it does not refer to brute force. On the contrary, it emphasizes inclusiveness and overcoming strength with gentleness, leaning towards inner strength.

The upright position represents bold action, courageous decision-making, and overcoming difficulties with willpower.

It's a very good card.

This shows that the Firefly the ability and the courage to face the problems ahead.

Firefly looked at the turned-up card, even though Lin Shuang hadn't deciphered it yet, the image on the card already conveyed some very emotional meanings.

Lin Shuang naturally wouldn't hide anything; this kind of situation proved that the Firefly was at least a good person to approach.

"The upright 'Strength' card's key words are 'discovering inner strength and courage in the face of adversity.' It seems that Miss Firefly resilient than she appears."

Lin Shuang didn't hold back her praise; to be honest, she had fallen in love with the Firefly at first sight when she played games with it.

In the opening scene of Penacony, the Firefly and the Firefly were both targets that Lin Shuang was determined to draw.

In reality, both Firefly and Firefly are more charming than they appear in games.

"... You flatter me."

The Firefly seemed quite at ease with the candid praise, but after all, it was a big star, and probably had heard countless compliments before.

"This card signifies bold action, new developments, major turning points, and overcoming difficulties with willpower. Regarding Penacony, perhaps you Firefly, are also a key figure in this."

When Lin Shuang drew cards, she didn't think too deeply about them, because she knew a lot about the other people and could understand most of the meanings just by looking at them.

But Firefly; Lin Shuang had no idea how Penacony would develop next.

Judging from the meaning of this card alone, the Firefly might be quite important in it.

Hmm, I should think about how to get the Firefly to invite me to Penacony.

As for the Firefly...

These words, when heard, take on a different meaning.

Bold actions, new developments?

The Firefly instinctively looked at Lin Shuang was deep in thought.

On the eve of her return to Penacony, while she had lost her voice,

Ignoring his Brother's advice, he came to Luofu alone. Now he even wants to invite Lin Shuang to join the game, which is quite bold.

Could the major turning point refer to the appearance of Lin Shuang?

Judging from the current situation, Lin Shuang is very strong, both in terms of her own abilities and her network of connections.

All of this far Firefly's expectations.

If Lin Shuang can help me, it will definitely have an impact on the situation.

As for her own role as the key figure, Firefly couldn't understand it; if importance was a question, her Brother Sunday should have been more important.

Even if we take a step back, the 'Watchmaker' is still more crucial.

After Firefly is away most of the time and rarely cares about Penacony's affairs.

Considering that Lin Shuang had previously said it was 'fate'.

Could it be that there's something hidden about my situation?

The Firefly was skeptical, mostly believing but not completely, but that didn't matter.

The important thing is...

Just as Lin Shuang raised her head to speak, she Firefly's earnest eyes, and the Firefly spoke first:

"Miss Lin Shuang, may I, on behalf of Firefly, invite you to Penacony to assist me in investigating the truth Penacony?"

Lin Shuang was taken aback upon hearing this.

Before the conflict even started, before she could even begin to deliver her speech, how did the other side surrender on the spot?

Lin Shuang quickly went through the process in her mind.

She guessed that the Firefly might have been attracted by her fighting prowess.

But Penacony isn't exactly lacking in fighting power.

Lin Shuang didn't realize at the moment that she simply wanted to see what kind of person Firefly was who was performing divination.

Ironically, the Firefly that he saw Lin Shuang as a turning point.

Of course, Lin Shuang had no idea what the Firefly was planning.

After determining that the Firefly's card is 'Strength', I combined this with my past impressions of her in the game.

Lin Shuang then Firefly in the column where she could 'try trust and cooperation'.

So, although she was a little confused, Lin Shuang nodded after a brief moment of thought.

"Sure, I'm actually quite interested in the Charmony Festival. I was thinking of going to Penacony sometime."

In the brief silence, Firefly very nervous. In her opinion, Lin Shuang was the most suitable partner she could find at the moment.

Although she was famous, she ultimately lacked sufficient foundation. To encounter a powerful and easy-going person like Lin Shuang was a stroke of luck.

Moreover, to be honest, aside from Credits, Firefly doesn't have many other resources to invite a powerful figure to help her.

So after Lin Shuang nodded in agreement, Firefly even momentarily lost control of her expression, clutching her chest with one hand and letting out a long sigh.

Only then did he show a smile.

"Thanks."

At the same time, system information about Firefly also popped up at the opportune moment:

[Target: Firefly]

[Affection: 66 (Admiration and curiosity)]

[Relationship: Employer]

['You're really good at bluffing, kid. Even the Lord Ravager has become your tool for bluffing. Even in this situation, don't you take the opportunity to touch the Halo and Wings?']

[Reward: One green card draw]

My Affection has increased significantly, and most importantly, I've finally established a connection and gotten a chance to draw a card.

But Firefly...?

The result of the gacha pull should be something related to music, or something like Harmony.

Of course, it's also possible that she's an angel. After all, she has Halo and Wings. If you insist that she's related to an angel, that's plausible.

While her thoughts were wandering, Lin Shuang's mouth never stopped:

"There's nothing to thank me for; it's not like I'm not taking money."

Lin Shuang waved her hand. She wasn't helping for free. Although she had already gotten the qualification to go to Penacony and the chance to draw cards for free, she would definitely charge her.

And it was a large sum of money.

Silver Wolf left her a considerable amount of Credits.

But Lin Shuang actually really wanted to buy a Star Destroyer to play with. And those Mechanical Exoskeleton, or those gorgeous, collector's edition Spaceship.

These interstellar products, or rather, interstellar toys, held immense appeal for Lin Shuang.

Especially the highly technological design; just looking at the advertisements greatly satisfied Lin Shuang's tastes.

Lin Shuang had even actually come across those Spaceship that could transform into giant robots.

Although it leans more towards entertainment than practicality.

But Lin Shuang really wanted it.

It's just a pity that these things are all incredibly expensive.

It's not that she can't afford it, but Lin Shuang can't afford the subsequent maintenance and upkeep costs after buying it.

Therefore, given the opportunity, Lin Shuang would rather earn more money.

Volume 1: Chapter 138 Intensity and Social Death, You Have to Choose One

Lin Shuang's direct words reassured the Firefly; the contractual relationship of being paid to do a job was actually more stable.

"As for the specific compensation..."

This is truly the first time Firefly has done something like this. It's fine in the entertainment industry, but asking her to come up with a reasonable price for hiring someone right away is asking too much.

Lin Shuang could see her predicament.

"We can discuss the specific price later. There's no rush. Anyway, I still need to recover from my injury, so I won't go to Penacony for a while."

Seeing that Lin Shuang had offered a way out, Firefly naturally nodded in agreement with Lin Shuang's suggestion.

"Very well, thank you again for your help. I will ask my Brother, the Head of the Family of the Oak Family, on Sunday, to send a formal Invitation to Miss Lin."

Lin Shuang blinked and nodded, appearing calm on the surface, but inwardly she was secretly celebrating.

"Since things have come to this, Miss Firefly, you don't need to keep calling me 'Miss,' just call me by my name."

The Firefly upon hearing this.

"Then Lin Shuang needn't use honorifics; just call me Firefly."

Penacony's concept is quite appealing; being able to get Invitation and experience it for free would be fantastic.

As for danger.

With the Astral Express Crew here, Acheron's involved, and the Stellaron Hunter also getting involved, I can just go over and provide support.

I might as well get to know the Black Swan; who knows, I might even draw some interesting abilities.

The Sparkle are a bit tricky to set up.

In games, this kind of "little devil" attribute is quite attractive, but in real life, it's hard to resist taking action.

Oh, and the company too.

Aventurine looks like a cunning and calculating person; we should be wary of him.

Lin Shuang was thinking about the most typical representative figures who appeared in the entire Penacony lineup.

As for the Firefly's Brother, we'll have to let him draw a card to see what happens, just in case he really is the one behind all this trouble.

The Firefly probably fine, but she herself is likely to get into trouble.

Just as Lin Shuang was pondering...

Suddenly, the Firefly got up, took out his phone, and pulled up a few sheet music sheets, pointing them at Lin Shuang to draw her attention back.

"This is?"

"We've finished discussing everything else, but we still have some important matters to discuss. Here are some thoughts on your three songs; would you like to take a look?"
