"Let's go shopping."

"Good."

"The corruption operation has begun."

Xing and Ji Yuan exchanged a glance, a sly smile playing on their lips. Silver Wolf, speechless, slapped his forehead and said to Xing, "Xing, who taught you to act like this? If Kafka saw you like this, she'd probably give you a good talking-to."

"No way."

Xing said in surprise.

"Whether it's possible or not, let's wait until you meet her to see."

Silver Wolf waved his hand in reply.

Just then, she noticed a shop selling various games nearby, and immediately became interested, pulling Ji Yuan towards it.

Xing followed behind her, still asking Silver Wolf, "When will I be able to see her again?"

"I have no idea where she is. Maybe she'll keep hiding from you until the end of the Harmony Festival, or maybe she'll appear in your reality the next second. Anyway, when I came here, Elio told me that only one of me and Kafka should enter the dream, and the other one should meet Ji Yuan or you in reality."

Silver Wolf shrugged and answered Star's question.

"Huh? Why?"

Hearing Silver Wolf ask this question, Xing asked curiously.

"Who knows? Anyway, Elio said that according to what he saw before Ji Yuan came to Penacony, this was how fate should be arranged. But I don't know the specifics." As he said this, Silver Wolf glanced at Ji Yuan with some dissatisfaction:

"It's all because of your appearance that Elio's prophecy has no effect. Now, every time we go on a mission, Elio says that even with you there, he can't guarantee our safety. Can't you learn from the other members of the Genius Society and stay in one place to conduct your research in peace?"

"If I hadn't come, how would the two of you have gotten into Penacony? By smuggling yourselves in?"

Ji Yuan returned the glare to the Silver Wolf.

They never said anything when they needed my help, but now that they've booked a room here, it makes it seem like I shouldn't have come.

However, he was also curious about Elio's arrangement. By having two people interact with him in both the real world and the dream world, was Elio trying to convey something to him?

Was he trying to make himself see the difference between dreams and reality?

Just now, Ji Yuan clearly saw that when he landed with Xing in his arms, the system added a suffix after Xing's name to the achievement list, indicating her status: "(In the Dream)".

Or are you thinking about something else?

In short, I couldn't draw any conclusions until I saw Kafka.

Never mind, let's go take care of other things first.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Silver Wolf embezzled so many Credits from the Interastral Peace Corporation, and as a member of the company, he certainly has to recover the losses for the company.

Well, if I spend a little more, Silver Wolf will spend a little less, and the company will suffer less loss.

With this in mind, Ji Yuan also began a big shopping spree.

Also, Xing only has one set of clothes, so we need to buy her a few more.

Soon, at this Golden Hour, Ji Yuan and Xing once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

Last time it was their incredibly cool landing pose; this time it's their incredibly extravagant spending. Since it's free money, they figured they might as well spend it, so Ji Yuan and his companions thoroughly patronized every shop on this bustling street.

If I see something good, I'll buy it without hesitation.

In the end, all three of them had various bags hanging on them, and Xing even used his teeth to hang shopping bags.

When Sunday and Robin came to find Ji Yuan, they were both taken aback by the appearance of the three of them.

"You guys are going crazy with this shopping spree!!"

The Robin couldn't help but complain to the group.

Fortunately, several members of the Oak Family were with the brother and sister. Upon seeing this, they quickly went to Ji Yuan and the others and picked up the shopping bags. After doing this, Ji Yuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems you're having a great time during Golden Hour. Robin and I were thinking of waiting for you at home, but we felt that would be a bit impolite. Since you're here during Golden Hour, and there are quite a few interesting places around, entertaining you here is a good option. Besides, you have two friends here too, so inviting them to dine at the restaurant here won't interfere with your fun," Sunday said with a smile to the three of them.

As he said this, his gaze lingered on Xing and Silver Wolf for a few more seconds.

Although he had never met Silver Wolf before, Sunday recognized her as Stellaron Hunter for whom the company had a bounty on her.

"Silver Wolf's abilities are fine, but what is Elio, who is behind them, trying to do by sending them to Penacony?"

I pondered this in my mind on Sunday.

Ji Yuan, unaware of what Sunday was thinking, nodded and replied, "Yes, it was indeed a great place to have fun."

Especially when you are very, very rich.

He thought to himself, then looked at the Robin with some concern and asked, "By the way, Robin, your voice sounds a little off. Are you sick or something has happened?"

It's really strange that our voices changed at a time when we'd only been apart for less than twelve hours.

Ji Yuan's musical talent was no less Robin; he could hear Robin's voice also had a very discordant quality.

"This..." Upon hearing this, Robin but smile bitterly, "I don't know what happened either. A few hours after returning to Penacony, my throat developed a huge problem."

"Is that so? Could it be because of the change in environment? I remember you left Penacony when you were a child and never went back," Ji Yuan said thoughtfully.

"Perhaps. Hopefully, things will get better before the Harmony Festival in a few days." Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Robin nodded helplessly in agreement.

The Robin's voice seemed to grow hoarser as it spoke more.

This is not a good sign.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

At this moment, the Robin walked up to Ji Yuan and said, "Um, can you come over there with me? I have something I want to talk to you about alone."

Her eyes held a pleading look.

Ji Yuan nodded:

"Um."

He then looked at Silver Wolf and Star.

"You and Mr. Sunday go to the restaurant first, Robin and I will come later."

"Clear."

Xing and Silver Wolf had no objections, so they went to the hotel next door with Sunday first, while Ji Yuan followed the Robin to a secluded place.

Once they reached a secluded spot, he asked the Robin, "Miss Robin, is there something you need from me here?"

Upon hearing his question, the Robin didn't answer directly, but instead asked him a question in return.

"Ji Yuan, what are your thoughts on the Aeon of Harmony?"

"The Aeon of Harmony? Hmm... to be honest, I don't have much of an opinion. If I had to give an evaluation, I would say I don't dislike him."

Ji Yuan thought for a moment, then answered the Robin.

Aeon of Harmony Xipe, He and His family actually have very little interaction with the Celestial Ark Alliance. The Celestial Ark Alliance generally maintains a friendly attitude towards such forces.

After saying this, Ji Yuan knew Robin was thinking.

"Are you planning to let me also gain some of the same Harmony Power as you?"

"Yes, before the Harmony Festival begins, nobody knows if my voice will be better. I can sing, but if I'm alone, I'm afraid I'll mess it up." The Robin nodded, then looked at Ji Yuan with pleading eyes:

"Could you sing with me at the Harmony Festival? Of course, this is my personal request. If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Ji Yuan said to the Robin, "Can you teach me all the methods you know about the application of Harmony energy?"

"That's certainly possible, but in that case, you'll be easily influenced by Lord Xipe."

"That's my own problem. Don't worry, I'm confident."

Ji Yuan's skills are blessed by three other star gods, so assimilating him won't be easy. On the contrary, if he can attract Xipe's attention at the Harmony Festival, could he also receive Xipe's blessing?

The system can summon a star god for you, so why don't you come yourself?

With another blessing, my power will increase.

Meanwhile, the Robin, upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, understood his intentions. A look of surprise and delight appeared in her eyes, and she even reached out to grab Ji Yuan's hand, excitedly saying, "Then Ji Yuan, you... you intend to..."

"We had a good teamwork last time on Xianzhou, let's have another good teamwork this time."

Ji Yuan said to the Robin.

The Robin gripped Ji Yuan's hand even tighter. "Thank you so much. I'll help you with anything you need in the future."

As Harmony follower of the Harmony Festival, Robin and cared most deeply about its importance. For the past few hours, she had been extremely flustered by the voice problem that had appeared out of nowhere.

If things go wrong...

The Robin couldn't imagine what would happen then.

She couldn't think of any solution, and the only helper she could find was Ji Yuan.

He was the only one who could help him.

Fortunately, Ji Yuan agreed.

However, this also brought her a problem:

"I just don't know how to repay him. He lacks nothing, how can I possibly repay him?"

The Robin was somewhat troubled.

Ji Yuan, on the other hand, was quite happy to hear the system notification.

[You have resolved the problem of Miss Robin, the most famous singer in the universe, who is being watched by the Aeon of Harmony Xipe. The system is rewarding you with the Inducing Voice.]

[Inducing Voice: Those who hear your singing will be unconsciously influenced by your thoughts. Note: The higher the enemy's willpower, the less affected they will be.]

Looking at this achievement, Ji Yuan thought to himself that this ability seemed to have offended Xipe somewhat.

The Harmony Festival was originally meant to promote Him, but it ended up influencing those who originally believed in Him.

When He sees Himself, the scene probably won't be too pleasant...

What more blessings could one ask for?

Chapter 258 Why is this guy acting all wronged? [Second Update]

Never mind, I believe Lord Xipe is magnanimous. I doubt He will mind if I slightly influence others.

Ji Yuan tried to comfort himself.

Seeing that the Robin was still looking thoughtful, he couldn't help but ask her, "What's wrong? Why are you making that face?"

"Um... I really don't know how to thank you."

The Robin smiled shyly and answered Ji Yuan.

"No need for thanks, just treat me to something nice later. Besides, I've also gained the skill of Harmony that you possess, so singing a song for you isn't a loss for me."

Anyway, as long as I get the skills from you and can also get more things, I really don't care what you give me.

"This..."

The Robin, but Ji Yuan interrupted her.

"Alright, stop talking. My stomach is growling. If we don't go soon, Silver Wolf and Xing will probably have finished all the food."

"Um."

The Robin nodded, then picked up her phone and contacted her brother on Sunday.

On Sunday, Ji Yuan told the Robin where they were. The Robin thought for a moment, pointed in a direction, and said to Ji Yuan, "Ji Yuan, let's go that way. That path is a shortcut. I remember often walking that way when I was a child. I don't know if it's still there now."

"Then let's hurry up and go."

Ji Yuan and the Robin walked together in that direction.

This is indeed a small alley in the city, a narrow path formed in the shadows of several tall buildings. At this time of day, which is similar to midnight, no one comes here at all.

Walking along the long path, the Robin didn't forget to tell Ji Yuan stories from her childhood.

"When we were little, my brother and I often came here. Sometimes, when we were playing, we would hide here from the rest of our family. They searched for a long time but couldn't find this place..."

Ji Yuan couldn't help but smile as he listened.

Like Robin Sunday, he and Sushang also had a secret base when they were young to hide from their father and mother's supervision.
