~8 min read 1,540 words

【In the game screen, after the final credits ended, the scene came to the corridor of the Reverie Hotel, where two IPC employees were guarding the door of a room with weapons.】

【An elegant and mature female voice rang out faintly: "I'm very happy to hear your voice again. Congratulations on becoming the... biggest winner behind the scenes of this grand event."】

【Inside the room, a handsome, golden-haired man dressed in gorgeous clothes held his phone, and said in a tone and voice that many people were familiar with and had not heard for a long time: "You made a special trip to call me just to tease me?"】

【Aventurine's elegant and mature voice came through the phone, sighing softly: "How could that be? I'm just sighing that you didn't lose this time either. Not only did you go deep into the wolf's den alone to dig out the truth about the Dreamflux Reef, but you also retreated unscathed with the help of that Knight of Beauty..."】

【"Oh, and that recording you received from your 【Trailblaze】 friend, it is already the most valuable chip on this gambling table."】

Livestream room.

"Holy crap, it's Aventurine!!!"

"Can't be wrong! Absolutely can't be wrong! This voice! This tone! This is absolutely the real Aventurine!!!"

"This is the familiar taste, the familiar Aventurine. Compared to this, the one in the dream before was completely distorted, wasn't it!"

"And speaking of which, besides the problems of Penacony itself, the IPC's covetousness is also a major conflict point. I almost forgot."

"It's mainly because Aventurine, as the main person in charge sent by the company, went offline early and only appeared after everything was basically over. Everyone must have been attracted by Sunday's Order dream."

"Almost forgot, the truth about death in the dream, speaking of which, it was also tested by Aventurine with his life. Huang Quan's slash probably didn't feel good."

"That's right, it can also be known from the previous conversation with Argenti that it was Argenti who saved Aventurine."

"Thank you Argenti! Thank you Argenti! The Beauty Goddess Idrila's beauty is unparalleled!"

"Thank you Argenti! Thank you Argenti! The Beauty Goddess Idrila's beauty is unparalleled!"

"Thank you Argenti! Thank you Argenti! The Beauty Goddess Idrila's beauty is unparalleled!"

"Thank you Argenti! Thank you Argenti! The Beauty Goddess Idrila's beauty is unparalleled!"

"Thank you Argenti! Thank you Argenti! The Beauty Goddess Idrila's beauty is unparalleled!"

"Good guy, is this a collective conversion to the Beauty?"

"It's mainly to thank Argenti. He is worthy of being a Knight of Beauty. When it comes to saving people, he can really save them!"

"And Mr. Yang, when confronting the 【Dreammaster】 back then, that chip-shaped information transmitter was really useful."

"Now that this has happened, the chips in the company's hands are truly fatal to the Family."

"And because of the things Aventurine encountered and discovered in Penacony, plus the things Sunday and the 【Dreammaster】 and the Oak Family caused, the company can really take action without any scruples now."

"Speaking of which, the story of Penacony is not over yet. Although I quite like Aventurine, if Penacony falls into the hands of the company, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing, right?"

"That's true. If it really falls into the hands of the company, it's just going from one extreme to another. The Penacony that Mr. Mikhail and the others dreamed of will never come."

"However, the voice of this big sister talking to Aventurine is so nice. Like Miss Black Swan, she is a mature type."

"Cough cough, I think you'd better read the subtitles carefully. This big sister is not a pushover."

"Jade?! Holy crap! Jade! It's that Lady Jade who is also one of the 【Ten Stonehearts】!"

"This is an incredible character. Speaking of which, she appeared in Aventurine's memories before, and even after Aventurine's cornerstone lost its luster, when Jade activated the Jade cornerstone, she appeared, right?"

"Not only that, she also appeared in Boothill's character PV."

"That's right, she is also the one who introduced Aventurine to join the company and become one of the Ten Stonehearts."

【In the game screen, Aventurine stood in front of the Dreampool, with a smile on his face and calm eyes, listening to Lady Jade suddenly change the subject and say: "However, as the price for winning all this... losing a 【Cornerstone】 is still too expensive. 【Diamond】 has just initiated a meeting, a meeting about you."】

【Aventurine closed his eyes slightly, as if he had expected it, and said calmly: "As expected. So is 【Diamond】 planning to demote me, or kick me out of the 【Ten Stonehearts】 directly?"】

【Jade let out a chuckle and said with interest: "Opportunities are rare, why not make a bet?"】

【Aventurine curled his lips into a slight arc and smiled: "Hmph, alright. Then I'll bet—he's going to promote me to P46, right?"】

【Hearing this, Jade asked softly: "Hmm, then what are you prepared to bet?"】

【Aventurine said in a joking tone: "Real bet or fake bet? I don't want to pawn anything to you, lest I get eaten clean."】

【"But if it's just for fun, then let's do it like the first time we met—let's bet my life, my lady."】

Livestream room.

"Aventurine, I know your luck is high, but can you not bet your life every time."

"So, every time Aventurine gambles, he really is betting his own life."

"Betting for fun—betting his life! Good guy, this is Aventurine alright."

"Perhaps for Aventurine, since he dared to say he would promote himself to P46 this time, I'm afraid he really has some reliance."

"That's true. Although Aventurine didn't die and betting his life looks extremely thrilling, he is not betting brainlessly. On the contrary, Aventurine is a smart person. He must have some certainty to say so."

"Phew~ Hearing this, my heart is a little more at ease."

"But how should I put it, I am finally sure that this Aventurine is the real Aventurine, definitely not another fake object in the overlapping dream."

"That's what I'm saying, besides Aventurine, who has this confidence to bet his life at every turn."

"But Aventurine seems to have never lost when betting his life. I think Aventurine is probably really going to be promoted."

Where the Astral Express crew is.

March 7th looked at the words Aventurine said on the game screen, held her forehead and said helplessly: "This Aventurine, although my impression of him is not as annoying as before, this guy's personality really hasn't changed at all. Is he that confident?"

Welt Yang adjusted his glasses and said: "Perhaps Aventurine has learned information we don't know, which is why he is so confident."

【Hearing this, Jade said through the phone: "Interesting. But since that is 【Diamond】's decision, no one can guess the answer in advance."】

【"I am on my way to Penacony. After the remaining matters are arranged, we will return to Pier Point together to wait for the cards to be revealed."】

【Aventurine smiled and said easily: "Sounds like there's nothing for me to do in the short term. Does that mean I can enjoy a vacation?"】

【This proud peacock seemed not to care at all about the unknown outcome in Jade's words, his tone was relaxed and calm.】

【Jade's voice came through the phone's microphone: "Leave it to Topaz and me, child. Thanks to you, the moment the 【Jade Stone】 was sent to the Family's residence, the company's arrangements were already completed."】

【"The seeds sown have already taken root and sprouted, and then... it is time for the 【harvest】."】

【Suddenly, there was a slight movement outside the door, and Aventurine frowned: "... Hmm?"】

【Then he said to Jade on the other end of the phone: "Let's stop here for now, it seems a guest has arrived here..."】

【Then, Aventurine hung up the phone, looked at the cowboy who walked into the room, chuckled and said: "Oh? There are really many fresh things today. A Mourning Actor and wanted criminal actually delivered himself to the door—"】

【"—and killed two company employees under the eyes of the company fleet. Do you know what this means?"】

【Boothill crossed his arms and said in his unique greeting style: "Screw you, I just let them sleep for a while, stop threatening me with that crap. Besides, I've killed more company dogs than you've exploited surplus value from, I don't mind adding a few more 【zeros】 to the wanted notice."】

【I have a question to ask you. Be honest, or I'll shoot you dead right now—】

【While speaking, Boothill pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Aventurine, looking at Aventurine's silent expression, and gritted his teeth: "Tell me... where is Oswald Schneider?"】

【After this scene, the plot came to an abrupt end. On the blacked-out screen, the words "To be continued" appeared, symbolizing that the plot of this version ended here.】

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

"This, this, this, this, this... this is really a good cliffhanger!"

"Hurry up, I want to know the plot that follows."

"I want to know too, how do I contact Su Chen the old thief? If he doesn't release the new plot quickly, I'll send him a blade!"

"Add me to the list of people sending blades!"
