Chapter 204

Even if he couldn't go, he had to find someone to help him keep an eye on Penacony.

Not long after.

A suitable candidate appeared in Lin Qi's mind.

"Himeko, if the Astral Express goes to Penacony, there might be other passengers," Lin Qi said suddenly.

Himeko was stunned for a moment and asked back.

"Is it Ms. Robin?"

Lin Qi nodded and added, "She is just one of them, there is another passenger."

"What kind of person is that?" Himeko asked.

She had to do a background check in advance to prevent problems during the journey.

Robin was naturally no problem.

Beautiful and kind.

And a well-known singer in the universe, no one would dislike her.

Lin Qi paused and said truthfully.

"Hmm..."

"A Masked Fool."

127. Sparkle: Masked Memokeeper? Limited Card Pool Rotation!

"Masked Fool?"

Himeko was stunned for a moment; she naturally knew the Masked Fools.

Or rather, it was because she knew, so she was stunned at this moment.

As a well-known prankster in the universe.

The style of the Masked Fools is hard for ordinary people to figure out.

It is also hard to say clearly whether they are good people or bad people.

In short.

People of this faction, just like the Aeon of Elation, are hard to figure out.

Let alone outsiders, even Masked Fools in the same faction find it hard to command another Masked Fool to do things.

It would be good enough if they didn't deceive or prank each other.

Therefore.

After hearing Lin Qi's words, Himeko's brows frowned slightly.

Then asked.

"Lin Qi, what is your relationship with that Masked Fool? She won't mess around on the train, right?"

Even if her relationship with Lin Qi was good, Himeko had to figure this out.

She had to be responsible for the safety of the train.

She had to ask.

After all, there was once a guy from the Elation faction who blew up the train.

Now that there were only so many carriages left on the train, Himeko didn't want any more accidents.

"What kind of relationship? How should I put it..."

Lin Qi thought about it and felt it was not easy to describe.

Friend?

Where is there a friend who has been locked up for nearly ten years?

Enemy?

That Masked Fool is playing very happily now; in the outer area of the Synesthesia Dreamscape, countless people are waiting to be teased by her every day.

Plus the different time flow, the fun she gets is much more than before.

Lin Qi even probed her tone once to see if she wanted to leave.

Who knew she had no intention of leaving at all.

And thanked Lin Qi for keeping her here.

Can only say...

Very dramatic, and also very fun.

But thinking about it, it's normal.

No matter how much Sparkle tosses in reality, the number of people she contacts is limited.

And in the dream space, as long as she wants, she can tease tens of thousands of people a day.

Not only that.

In the real world, she has some scruples.

After all, pranks are pranks.

If she loses her life because of this and is killed by someone, it wouldn't be funny.

So pranks and stuff are somewhat restrained.

But in the Synesthesia Dreamscape, there is no need for this.

She can completely let go and pit people.

To this.

Lin Qi was very speechless.

But seeing Sparkle helping him tease those hackers who wanted to invade Jarilo's network, Lin Qi felt that this seemed okay too.

Back and forth.

The relationship between the two was more like collaborators.

Of course.

At first, Lin Qi treated Sparkle as an "electronic pet."

"Collaborators, in a sense, should be."

Lin Qi nodded.

"Then will this Masked Fool behave herself? At least while on the train," Himeko asked.

"Don't worry about this, I will emphasize it to her," Lin Qi replied.

"Since you guarantee it for her, then I agree. I think the other members of the train crew will be even less likely to oppose your opinion than me," Himeko said helplessly.

Lin Qi smiled and said, "In short, I hope it's my illusion. I wish you a smooth journey to Penacony, and I also wish the Harmonic Music Ceremony a smooth completion. After all, I am still a shareholder here; if something goes wrong, how much money will I lose in dividends in a year."

Lin Qi used all the massive funds obtained from Penacony to build megastructures.

Must say.

If there were no such funds, the construction progress of the megastructures would definitely be slower.

Therefore.

Lin Qi still attached some importance to this place where he only had dividend rights.

Not to mention, several people who had a relationship with him would also go here.

Plus influence points...

In reason and emotion, Lin Qi had to intervene.

Afterwards.

The two said goodbye at the spaceport at the end of the space elevator.

Himeko seemed interested in the modified elevator and wanted to stay and study it.

Lin Qi was going to the Synesthesia Dreamscape.

Because Lin Qi always felt that there was a problem with Penacony.

But specifically where the problem was, there was no concrete evidence.

Synesthesia Dreamscape.

At this time.

Sparkle was teasing a group of hackers again.

Watching the hackers running around like headless flies, she burst into laughter.

"Sparkle, did I come at a bad time? Disturbed your interest~"

"No! You came at the right time! Look at these hackers, aren't they stupid? And they call themselves top hackers? They can't even see Silver Wolf's exhaust," Sparkle laughed loudly, crazy.

Lin Qi ignored the description of "Silver Wolf's exhaust."

Similar conversations had happened more than once or twice.

Lin Qi was somewhat used to it.

Anyway.

Every time he came, Sparkle was in this state of mind.

Recalling the beginning, she was locked in a house by Lin Qi for three years; during that period, there was a point in time when she was extremely "normal," with almost no strange actions.

But Lin Qi knew that for a Masked Fool, being like an ordinary person is the biggest abnormality.

So...

"Sparkle, I am very gratified to see that your spirit is still so crazy," Lin Qi said with satisfaction, "This way I can rest assured and give you a task."

"Say it, Sparkle-sama is having a lot of fun, she will accept an~y~ task!"

Sparkle looked at Lin Qi and agreed quickly.

"Really?"

Lin Qi replied, "Do you want to go to another world full of Memetic Substances to see?"

"What do you mean?"

Sparkle's smile faded a bit, and she tilted her head and asked.

"It means literally, change to another world, not here in Jarilo."

"Oh? Are you willing to let me out?" Sparkle was surprised.

"I said before that your sentence was served, you could leave at any time, it was you who insisted on not leaving," Lin Qi shook his head.

"Isn't it fun here?" Sparkle smiled, then asked, "Great Commander, the world full of Memetic Substances you mentioned, wouldn't be... Penacony, right?"

"Smart."

Lin Qi nodded, "How about it? Interested?"

"I am interested in Penacony." Sparkle paused and shook her head, "But, I refuse!"

"I'm not stupid? Give up the 'superior' authority of Jarilo's Synesthesia Dreamscape and run to Penacony to be a cow or horse?"

"Dr. Lin Qi, do you think I'm stupid?"

Sparkle said.

Lin Qi laughed dumbly.

He thought Sparkle would agree quickly, after all, there should be fun.

But he clearly underestimated the attraction of the high-level authority of the Synesthesia Dreamscape to Sparkle.

It's also the Synesthesia Dreamscape.

One can call authority and experience the feeling of being a "demigod."

One can only be an ordinary Pathstrider.

Anyone knows how to choose.

Besides.

Jarilo's Synesthesia Dreamscape, after these years of development, is no worse than Penacony in terms of realism or size.

It might be even better in the future.

It was precisely because of this idea that Sparkle didn't want to leave at all.

What if she left and the authority was gone after she came back?

Wouldn't she lose a lot?

Lin Qi could roughly guess her thoughts and couldn't help but be amused.

But since Sparkle didn't want to leave, Lin Qi had other ways.

"Don't worry, your authority won't be less."

"And if you really left, I would be a little worried, afraid that you would retaliate!" Lin Qi smiled.

"Sure enough! I knew it, you letting me leave wasn't sincere!" Sparkle gritted her teeth.

But the next second she was fine.

Her tone was self-satisfied.

"It's a pity that the invincible Sparkle-sama has already seen through your tricks."

"However..."

"Since you are not willing to really let me go, why did you say let me go to Penacony?"

Sparkle was a bit confused.

Lin Qi explained, "Because I can separate your spirit and body, let your body stay here, and your spirit... or consciousness go to another planet. And the spirit and body can be combined."

"Ah?"

At this moment.

Even Sparkle couldn't remain calm.

She repeatedly looked at Lin Qi's micro-expressions, hoping to read a hint of a joke from his expression.

But after looking for a long time, she didn't see any reaction from Lin Qi.

"Are you serious?"

Sparkle's tone was astonished, "If you were joking, then your acting skills are much more real than this Masked Fool!"

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you? Is there any benefit to me?" Lin Qi said.

"Then if this is the case..."

Sparkle took a deep breath, "sobering" up after a long time, and sighed, "Then you are much more powerful than the Aeon of Memory! Memokeepers have to discard their bodies and become memetic lifeforms to survive in a state of spirit and consciousness, you separated your body and spirit, and can still come back, isn't that making the Memokeepers laugh at you?"

"If I can promote it on a large scale, the Aeon of Memory Fuli is indeed nothing, but my technology has strong limitations and can only be used on people I am very familiar with," Lin Qi explained again.

It was this sentence that made Sparkle stunned.

Very familiar?

This clearly refers to herself.

Suddenly.

Sparkle's expression was strange, "Doctor, you wouldn't have done something to my body while I was dreaming, right? For example..."

"Don't let your imagination run wild."

Lin Qi was speechless, "I mean your spirit body has stayed in the Synesthesia Dreamscape for long enough! And you have called authority many times, so I said you are familiar."

Lin Qi admitted that Sparkle is indeed quite cute.

But she is "plain," and not very tall, not very much to Lin Qi's taste.

Lin Qi wouldn't do that kind of tasteless thing.

It's better when both are willing.

"Alright, alright."

Sparkle actually felt disappointed.

Don't know what she was disappointed about.

But it was her, from disappointment to encouragement, it only took one breath.

"So, you can make me a... Masked Memokeeper?"

"Hmm..."

"Pretty much."

Lin Qi was stunned for a moment by the "new profession" name she gave.

But on second thought.

It seems to be the case.

Masked Fool plus Memokeeper, isn't it a Masked Memokeeper?

"Good good good! I'll take this job!"

"It's really interesting!"

"Sparkle has never experienced such big fun!"

For a time.

Sparkle was overjoyed, her little face excited.

After she was happy for a while.
