After that, it was the Trailblazing Team discussing the matter of the Fragmentum industry base with Bronya.
"Little Fish is still that Little Fish. He still can't forget about starting a business!" Siberian Duck teased.
[Dragon Tornado: Cocolia's ending can already be predicted. Bronya really is a fair and good kid, agreeing so easily to send her foster mother into the Fragmentum factory.]
[Stellaron Hunter, Kafka: Loving mother, smiling daughter.]
[Dan Heart Eternal: Of course Little Fish has to take it seriously. Anyway, the Fragmentum in Belobog isn't going away, so it's perfect to use it for production. And, well, the kid even used his own connections to link up a bunch of forces!]
[One July Three: Speaking of that… is Little Fish really just selling tea on the Xianzhou? In the earlier story, March even asked if he might also be a big shot there.]
[One July Three: From the current situation, if he's not a big shot, how could he have this kind of network?]
[Belobog Savage: What if Little Fish really is just selling tea on the Xianzhou?]
[One July Three: Impossible, absolutely impossible!]
[Belobog Savage: Look, Little Fish has such a good personality and looks good too. Isn't it normal and reasonable for him to know more people?]
[Aha's Messenger: True.]
After that, Siberian Duck followed the mission guide and continued.
After walking around Belobog again, the Trailblazing Team discussed what to do during the time waiting for the Whistling Flame Merchant Guild's fleet.
Nero suggested renovating his room, so everyone quickly got moving.
After they left, the game screen shifted and came to somewhere in the Underworld.
This seemed to be the workbench in Rivet Town. Dim lights lit up the place. There were no other living beings around. Only Sampo stood alone in front of a television, talking.
"...Yeah, at that time it was really a close call! Luckily I, Sampo, had a sudden idea: hey! There's no need for me to be the main character, right? We just need to play the masked clown properly."
"Clown!?" Seeing Sampo suddenly appear, Siberian Duck suddenly felt annoyed.
"Damn it, you really are… hiss… If I had known I would've checked the update after finishing this. Damn it! Ugh! I got spoiled by the official account! Can they compensate me with some Stellar Jades?"
[I Use Pantene: Have some shame, streamer.]
[Glue Man: Your abacus beads are practically hitting my face.]
[Account Deleted: You really know how to calculate!]
On the game screen, Sampo continued speaking.
"Facts prove that the Astral Express group is even more interesting than I thought. You like it a lot? Really? Hahaha, what a masterpiece."
"…No no, I don't want to leave here yet. What, Epsilon? What fun is there to find in a place drowned in luxury? 'The more it reflects the dignity of human nature, the more advanced the joy', now that's interesting!"
On the screen, Sampo showed a smile, and his gaze became meaningful.
Looking at the game screen, Siberian Duck could not help clicking her tongue.
"No, you… brothers, Sampo is really not simple! He's actually willing to play along with Little Fish. He must be a good person!"
[Dan Heart Eternal: What kind of strange judgment standard is that, streamer? It's not completely unreasonable, but isn't it too careless?]
[I Use Pantene: Playing along with Little Fish looks like something he can't avoid no matter what… I can only say, Sampo also did not sleep.]
[Belobog Savage: Come on, it's Sampo also did not sleep again. Sampo finally tried to build up some cool aura, and you ruined it with one sentence.]
In the game screen, Sampo said again, "Alright, bye. Send my regards to the brothers and sisters at the tavern. Don't forget to tell them, just say please look forward to my next show.
"And, the little colleague came up with 'Aha my leg' and 'Aha my thigh,' remember to tell them together.
"What? Forget it… I advise you to drop that idea. The little colleague and us are not the same… that kid can communicate with the God of Elation anytime, anywhere.
"If you really want to act opposite him, you'd better make sure you can do that too."
At the end, Sampo's voice suddenly became much more serious, but soon he put on a smile again, took a few steps back, turned his head to look at the screen, or rather, at the players.
"Alright, no more talk. Now, I'm going to take my curtain call."
"Huh? If you're taking a curtain call, why are you looking at me!?" When Sampo said curtain call, Siberian Duck stared at him for two seconds and then shouted.
Then she added, "And that little colleague, he's talking about Little Fish, right? The only one who can communicate with Aha anytime is Little Fish, right?"
At that moment, the chat scrolled rapidly.
[I Use Pantene: If nothing unexpected, it should be Little Fish… hiss… I thought Little Fish was of Pure Beauty, but who knows, maybe he has both sides?]
[Real Name: A charming bad man.]
[Cat Who Raises Dogs: To be honest, doesn't this situation feel a bit scary?]
On the game screen, Sampo smiled, bowed lightly, and spoke to the players outside the screen:
"This story is dedicated to you, dear audience, I wonder if you have gained even a little joy from it?
"...If you say no, ah, Sampo will be very sad."
"Damn, breaking the fourth wall, is this Elation…" Siberian Duck sighed.
At that moment, a voice came from off-screen.
"Hi~ Miss me~"
At this moment, Sampo on the screen seemed to be startled, his whole body trembling as he pressed his lips together.
Mr. Cold Feet almost blurted out, "You scared me!"
Although for different reasons, the players outside the screen also trembled.
Siberian Duck said in surprise, "Damn, that line, it connects here too? By the way, that voice is Little Fish, right?"
As soon as she said that, she saw Nero's figure sitting on Black Cut and flying in from off-screen.
"As expected, it's Little Fish!"
Sampo turned around, looked at Nero, smiling as he rubbed his hands. "Li-little ancestor, why do you suddenly have time to come find me… no, um, how did you know I was here?"
Nero blinked and said as if it was obvious, "Asked Aha! Aren't you familiar with this place? We're going to buy things, so I came to ask you to lead the way!"
Sampo also blinked, but his expression was blank.
"Ahaha, sure, okay, no problem! Sampo will complete the mission!"
As he spoke, Sampo turned his head to look at the screen again.
Nero noticed Sampo's movement, so he leaned his face closer and raised his hand to knock twice.
"Isn't this the TV I fixed when I demonstrated the knocking method!? What are you watching?"
Nero pressed his face close to the screen to look. From the players' perspective, it was like Nero leaned in close to look at them.
Then Nero showed a smile and raised his hand.
"Forget it, let's go buy things first!"
The boy stretched out his finger and pressed it.
The game screen immediately went black, then after a loading screen, entered another scene.
Ancient-style ships sailed through the universe, leaving trails one after another in the sea of stars…
