"Hello, buddy." Sampo sat next to Morien very familiarly, stretched out his hand, and shook Morien's hand, "Let's get to know each other, I am poor Old Sampo, a Masked Fools whose mask was stolen."

"What about me?" Sparkle looked up at Sampo.

"Oh, how could that happen?" Sampo immediately showed a flattering smile.

He clasped his hands together and raised them above his head.

"Please return the mask to me."

"Old Sampo will do anything for the mask."

"Please, Lord Sparkle, this is my once-in-a-lifetime request."

Looking at Sampo's appearance, Sparkle put his hand on his chin.

"Why should I help you?" she asked with a smile, "I find it more interesting to see you anxious now."

"You can't do this, Master Sparkle, didn't we agree that we would be Masked Fools for life?"

Sampo immediately said with a sad face.

Watching the interaction between the two Masked Fools, Morien blinked, feeling quite interesting.

He remembered that Sampo's mask was in the cellar of Tavern, in the third wine barrel on the left.

Morien rolled his eyes and began to consider whether to cut off his beard in advance.

But on second thought, I decided to forget it.

Forget it, this is what people want to use to save the world.

Anyway, he may not be able to use the mask once he gets it, so it's better not to harm the entire planet because of his curiosity.

"However, if you want a mask, it's not impossible." Sparkle picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Sampo's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Oh, that's great."

"Do you have to show your belly when asking others? I understand the rules."

Sparkle did not follow Sampo's words and directly stated his conditions.

"I need you to help me with something."

"When it's done, I'll tell you where your mask is hidden."

"How is it?"

Sampo hesitated and thought for a moment.

"Okay, but I may not be able to do it."

Sparkle smiled and nodded.

"You can definitely do it."

"But, Sampo----after so long, why did you suddenly remember to get the mask back? This doesn't look like the you I know." Sparkle looked at Sampo with a face filled with laughter.

"Then there's nothing we can do about it," Sampo laughed and laughed, "Occasionally, I still miss the person I was when I still had the mask."

But Sparkle obviously doesn't believe his words.

She looked at Sampo with a half-smile.

"Let me guess, the Yalilo-VI disaster is coming, right?"

Sampo's eyes moved slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Well, no comment."

Morien was confused.

Why did people next to me suddenly start talking about impending disasters on other planets?

He touched the mask hanging on the side of his face and came to a conclusion.

How about these two playing me? Want to see my reaction?

Sampo's words continue.

"However, I really like what you said."

He paused.

"The show is about to be staged, and those who are too late to take the stage will have no choice but to retreat behind the scenes."

"I've always thought this makes sense."

"Occasionally, I, Old Sampo, also want to go on stage and show my shame."

"Then if you have run out of ideas, remember to contact me." Sparkle turned around, "I am a person who values friendship very much."

"Forget it. If you stay away from Belobog, you will be helping me a lot." Sampo didn't look grateful at all.

"After all, Miss Sparkle is looking for [Pleasure], and Sampo doesn't dare to compliment her.

Sampo looked at the bartender.

"Bring me a special drink, something that won't make you relax."

"Okay," the bartender nodded, "Then I'll give you your joke in exchange."

"Joke----"

Sampo shook his head.

"Since losing the mask, Sampo has been unable to think of a funny joke for a long time."

"Yes, Master Sampo has not smiled for ten years." Sparkle cooperated and wiped his tears.

She didn't know when she conjured a housekeeper uniform for herself.

"Well, how about I tell you a story and trade it for wine?"

"Oh? What story?" the bartender asked interestingly.

"How about a story about Trailblazer saving the ice and snow world?" Sampo asked with a smile.

"Sure," the bartender replied with a smile, "But what kind of drink you can get depends on how good your story is."

"If you dissatisfy me, you can only drink boiled water."

"That's for sure," Sampo smiled and nodded, "I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Then, Sampo began to talk and tell the story about Trailblazer.

Morien listened on the sidelines, picked up the wine glass placed in front of him by the bartender, and took a sip.

The taste is a bit average, not Morien's favorite taste.

The taste is no different from normal wine, but it can inexplicably arouse people's emotions.

The taste is slightly bitter and irritating in the mouth, followed by an aftertaste, which made Morien feel a little happy for a moment, but after that it was just bland.

It's okay, but I don't think it tastes particularly delicious.

However, there may be a reason why Morien doesn't like drinking very much.

"This is a cup of hellish jokes." The bartender introduced it to Morien during a break in the story, "Most of the jokes spread in Tavern nowadays are of this type, and the wine produced does not taste as good as before."

"Yeah, that's really a pity." Morien nodded.

In the surrounding picture frames, there is Moth looking towards this side curiously.

The bartender took a look and reminded, "Underage customers are not allowed to drink Hell Joke."

"Okay." Morien nodded.

He also doesn't want his children to learn bad things.

But what surprised him the most was that these "alcohols" could actually affect him.

If he didn't deliberately use Path Power to protect his brain, he might actually get drunk.

On the sidelines, Sampo's story was quickly finished.

In the words of Sampo, Trailblazer is a beautiful girl who is brave, calm, handsome, beautiful, elegant and resourceful.

Girl, the Trailblazer of this world is the "star".

But----

Is this still a star?

Morien finally knows why Sparkle later complained when facing Trailblazer, "How much involvement did Sampo have in the story of Yaliluo-VI?"

After getting his own glass of wine, Sampo turned around and started chatting with Morien.

Sampo is very familiar, and Morien is quite outgoing.

The two quickly started chatting with him and became good friends.

"There are still two days until Charmony Festival opens. In the past few days, Old Sampo can take you for a walk around Penacony. How about it?" Sampo said enthusiastically.

"Okay." Morien accepted his kindness.

Two days.

He remembered that Trailblazer arrived the day before Charmony Festival started.

That is tomorrow.

Sampo continued to introduce enthusiastically.

"Here, you won't feel tired most of the time."

"Well----it's better to say that here, exhaustion is actually an experience that requires special money to purchase."

"So, in short, you can spend these two days with lots of energy."

"Well, of course, provided you have enough money."

Sampo rubbed his hands.

Morien nodded.

"I still have money.

"More or less."

For more than a month, he and Argenti wandered around, occasionally helping others.

Sure enough, you can make a lot of money by following Beauty Knight.

They always find people in danger.

Even like the planet that was first damaged by Swarm, the entire planet has been in danger several times.

Argenti never wants to thank you, but Morien is not so kind.

He definitely wants the reward, and if the other party gives him a thank-you gift, he will accept it in full.

After more than a month, he barely had a little money, and it would be no problem to play here for a few days.

Although, for many remote planets, Penacony may not be truly accessible even if the wealth of the entire planet is gathered.

But the real difficulties mainly lie in: the cost of interstellar travel, Penacony's tickets and the cost of hotel Dream Pool's daily burning money.

After really entering Penacony, the consumption is actually not particularly expensive.

Of course, the premise is that Dream Infiltration only purchases "dream" services in Penacony.

Such as perfume.

If you buy a perfume that can only be used in dreams, the price is quite low.

But if you want to buy something that can take you away from Penacony's dream and exist in reality, the price is also quite scary.

Especially the products co-branded by the park star Robin.

In addition, the most expensive one is Dream Pool.

It really costs money every minute and every second, which is why there are many "dream stowaways" in Penacony.

As long as you can bypass Dream Pool of the Family and enter Penacony, you can basically enjoy the real paradise.

However, the situation of Morien is very special.

He paid no travel expenses and checked into the hotel through an invitation letter.

Therefore, the Reverie Hotel contracted all the residence fees and Dream Infiltration fees for Morien from today until the next day after Charmony Festival ends, and even the entrance fee was saved.

Moreover, he also has a copy of "Dream Passport" of the Reverie Hotel. As an invited guest, he can even get a discount when buying things in his dream.

"Hey, if you have money, that's great." Sampo smiled, "Maybe, I think you need a guide."

"Okay." Morien also smiled back.

It is said that Uncle Cold Legs is good at cheating money, but he wants to see how Sampo can cheat him out of money.

After a brief chat, Sampo quickly stood up, greeted Morien and walked towards the Tavern gate.

Morien cooperated and kept up.

"Let's go, say hello to Giovanni for me." He turned around and said hello to Sparkle, then immediately put on a flattering look on his face and moved closer to Morien.

He just saw Dream Passport of Morien.

That is something only the Reverie Hotel VIPs have.

If a rich man on a remote small planet spends his entire life's assets, he can rent a room in Celestial Ring,

If you spend a few months vacationing in Penacony, then the same person may not be able to stay in the Reverie Hotel for even one day.

Then he Old Sampo must seize the opportunity.

He is the best at being a bitch.

Leaving Tavern, Sampo has fulfilled the role of "dog leg" very well.

He took Morien and Penacony around and experienced many projects.

There are completely real dreams, there are phone booths that can call other people's dreams, and there are game consoles that can shrink people----

Penacony is indeed the best amusement park in the universe.

The day passes quickly.

Morien and Sampo were walking and chatting.

"What are you thinking about, buddy?" Sampo and Morien are walking side by side.

"Well." Morien thought about what to say, "What do you think of this place?"

"Then this place is great." Sampo said with a smile, "A country bumpkin like me can't come here more than once in a lifetime."

Morien nodded.

"There seem to be many people here who have similar ideas to you." He said with a smile.

"I'm thinking that a lot of times, people really want something."

"But when the things actually come into their hands, people will find them boring."

"Boring----"

"That's probably what it feels like."

"Hey, don't think about this," Sampo reminded, "You are also Pathstrider. You should know that this kind of [Nihility] thinking is not necessary."

"Of course," Morien smiled and nodded, "I just found that if people can always be happy, then it will become more and more difficult for people to be happy."

"So maybe, true happiness lies in the moment before the moment of satisfaction."

He shook a gift box in his hand.

That was something he won on a ferrule Robot not long ago.

"Only the happiest moment is the moment before the trap is successfully set and the gift is received," he said.

"Well----I can probably understand what you mean." Sampo said thoughtfully, "So, this is your [Pleasure]?"

"Maybe," Morien smiled without explaining, "I don't know either."

At this time, his eyes casually swept across the roadside, and suddenly stopped and saw a girl with silver hair.

She looked like an ordinary passerby, standing by the driveway. She had an ordinary temperament, like an innocent girl next door, but her appearance was quite good.

In reality, she might attract a lot of people's attention because of her appearance, but in this dream world where she can change her face, she seems quite ordinary.

Standing quietly on the roadside, it seems that no one will notice you.

She is Stellaron Hunters Firefly.

The company's bounty is 9.723 billion Credits.

She was standing on the roadside, holding a mobile phone in her hand, and seemed to be looking at the navigation.

Feeling Morien's gaze, Firefly raised his head and turned to look at Morien.

The two met their eyes easily.

The next second, her body became tense, and even her girl-next-door temperament changed in an instant.

She felt the aura of destiny [Propagation] on Morien.

And her planet was destroyed in the war between [Propagation] and Swarm.

Glamoth veteran discovered a big bug outside the planet.

The "enemies" were extremely jealous when they saw each other.

Although "Glamoth" itself can actually be understood as "Swarm" in human form.

Morien was just about to say hello casually when he saw a wary look on her face.

No bugs can be found.

"You don't know me?" Morien pointed to himself in surprise.

It's not that he is arrogant and thinks that everyone must know himself.

However, Firefly, as Stellaron Hunters, holds the script of Elio to spy on the fate of Elio. Even her companions did something to him not long ago.

As a result, Firefly didn't recognize him?

Morien's words made Firefly confused. Even the tense atmosphere before was suddenly diluted.

"Um----should I know you?" Firefly's expression was wary and mixed with some doubts.

Looking at Firefly, Morien suddenly became enlightened.

Oh, got it.

Firefly threw away the script again after getting it.
