Starry Sky Railway, starting with a single draw of the Underworld

Qiong kept rubbing her cheek against Topa's thigh. Topa was about to scream when she suddenly felt a familiar sensation on her thigh. Looking down, she saw Qiong kissing the mole on her thigh again, so she screamed even louder.

"Ahhh!"

After Toppa screamed, her colleagues finally reacted and tried to pull Qiong away by grabbing his hands and feet. However, Qiong's hands seemed to be glued to Toppa's thighs. If they forcibly kicked him away, the director would have to use a wheelchair from now on.

"Let me go."

Topa knew that Qiong was the type of person who wouldn't listen to reason, so she whispered to Qiong that she should just go along with him for now.

"I miss you so much."

Qiong showed no intention of letting go of Topa. He had finally managed to cling to her leg. Of all the women he knew, Topa's leg was the one he liked the most and couldn't bear to part with.

"Yes, yes, I miss you too. If there's anything you need, please stand up and tell me."

Topa said helplessly, and patted Qiong's head before he let go of her hand, stood up and looked at Topa with a smile.

"Topa's wife, what are you doing here?"

Qiong asked happily, and even reached out to pull Topa's hand, but Topa avoided this action, and was quite angry.

"Who's your wife? If you call me again, I'm leaving."

Topa glared at Qiong and said, "Although there is some ill-fated relationship between the two of us, I haven't decided whether to get on Qiong's pirate ship yet. How can I be called my wife like this?"

"No, no, no, Miss Topa."

Qiong tactfully said that when pursuing a girl, one should be moderate in approach and not go too far. Taking advantage of her is a win, but one should not go too far.

Himeko and March Seven were both covering their faces, trying to pretend they didn't know Sora. After all, this behavior was quite embarrassing in front of everyone. Fortunately, he wasn't representing the Starry Sky Train; it was just his personal behavior.

"Miss Topa, it's been a long time."

March 7th raised her hand in greeting, and Toppa looked at her and Himeko, a relieved expression appearing on his face. Finally, he had met someone he could communicate with normally.

"Long time no see, everyone on the Star Train. I've heard about your stories from Sand Gold."

Topa smiled and said that her purpose was quite obvious. She and Sand Gold were here to carry out the same mission: to retrieve Pinocone. It was not hard to understand why two cornerstones would be sent to handle such a big order.

Chapter 90 Gold Placer is My Brother

"So it's Sand Gold. I told you Sand Gold is my good brother, and sure enough, I called you here," Qiong said immediately.

"You and him?"

Toppa looked at Qiong with a puzzled expression and asked, not understanding how Qiong and Sand Gold could be so close, especially since Sand Gold had only been in Pinocchio for a short time.

"That's right. As soon as he heard that I was pursuing you, he tried very hard to bring us together. You see, he begged me to help him before, and even said that if I helped the company win back Pinocchio this time, he would definitely give all the credit to you, and then he would come to our wedding."

Qiong was blatantly lying, then took out his phone and showed Toppa his chat history with Shajin. Toppa looked at the snippets of text and found that they were indeed very similar to Qiong's description. Shajin had even given Qiong money to spend. Wasn't that what good brothers did?

March 7 covered her face. She knew the truth very well. Qiong was going to any lengths to trick Toppa into becoming her wife, but March wouldn't be so boring as to ruin Qiong's strategy.

"That guy..."

Topa harbored deep resentment. She knew what kind of person Sand Gold was—unscrupulous in achieving his goals. Selling herself to Qiong as his wife was just a basic operation for him, so there was no need to doubt Sand Gold's character.

"As you can see, the company isn't very popular in Pinocchio. The family's hospitality is just superficial. The former frontier prison is now turning around and putting shackles on the company's employees."

Topa quickly put aside the matter of selling herself for the gold dust. She said to Himeko with some helplessness, and Himeko looked behind her and found several men in black from different families staring at her.

"Only those with invitations were allowed to attend the event. We, the accompanying personnel, didn't even have the right to enter the dream and could only stay in the real hotel."

"No wonder Sand Gold was looking for partners everywhere; it turns out he couldn't get the company's support in his dream."

March 7th revealed a knowing expression and said, "If Toppa could enter dreams, he would be a hundred times more reliable than Qiong. It's a pity he can't."

"I heard his situation isn't looking too good. You guys are helping to investigate things that are detrimental to the family, right? Outside of the Dream World, if you need anything, just let me know. The company never shortchanges its partners."

Toppa didn't know the exact situation of Sand Gold, but since they had cooperated with Star Train, it was still something to be happy about. Although Qiong acted strangely, at least he was recruited by BOSS Direct Hire, wasn't he?

"Thank you, Miss Topa. We were just about to ask the hounds about the case; perhaps you've already spoken with them?"

Himeko raised her hand and covered Sora's mouth, silencing his unreasonable request. Toppa's polite words were not meant for Sora.

"They're right behind me, just look for them. They'll help distract me; it's so uncomfortable to be stared at all the time."

Topa pointed to the man in black behind her and said, "It's clear that she's been feeling quite unwell since arriving in Pinocchio, and Qiong feels sorry for her."

“Little March, go and teach them a lesson. I’ll stay here and comfort Toppa’s wounded heart.”

Qiong waved to March 7 and said that it was just a question, and of course not everyone needed to come over; he had more important things to do.

"That damned bastard."

March 7th glared at Qiong and said, "He was all lovey-dovey with me in the dream, but his face changed after he saw Toppa. You can't believe a word of Qiong's nonsense."

"Topa, how have you been lately? No one at work is bullying you, is it?"

Qiong found a seat and sat down, speaking to Topa, who sat opposite him. Hearing his obvious concern, Topa rolled her eyes at Qiong.

"If only you could have been normal like this before, how come you keep turning into a pervert?"

Topa said, embarrassed and annoyed, "Let alone her being a company executive, even an ordinary woman would call the police if someone came up and kissed her thigh. But she still didn't have the heart to break off her friendship with Qiong, nor was she as angry as one might expect. Perhaps she's gotten used to being hurt by him."

"I just can't resist seeing you. I like you so much that I can wake up from a beautiful dream at any time."

Qiong scratched his head sheepishly and said that he realized he had woken up at just the right time. If it weren't for the need to investigate the clues, he would have missed Topa in his dream, because she couldn't enter the dream world.

"I'm doing pretty well, mostly bad things, and now I'm here to collect the mess again."

Topa said with a smile that this is how life is for her. Although she does dirty and tiring work, she is basically satisfied.

"You weren't punished when you went back from Belleburg, were you?"

Qiong asked with concern, explaining that he had previously tricked Topa a little, making her only get her principal back and not the interest. This was extremely dissatisfying for the company's higher-ups who wanted the entire Yalilo VI.

"Of course I was punished. Now I'm one level below gold dust."

Topa shrugged and said, but judging from her expression, she didn't really care. Having reached this level in her work, she was already quite indifferent to anything going up or down. She was just doing things that made her happy.

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who made you suffer. When I'm successful, I'll help you level up by a hundred or a thousand levels."

Qiong said apologetically to Topa, saying that although he had acted very strongly before, Topa had still suffered a loss in the end. It was also because he was not strong enough. If he had the same power and background as Estella's family, he could pay off this level of debt in no time.

"There aren't that many levels to climb, but it's good that you're willing to work hard. If you're already a successful man, then it's not interesting."

Topa said with a smile that she had seen countless men who were more promising and outstanding than Qiong, but she just couldn't be moved by any of them. On the contrary, it was Qiong, this bastard who was always thinking about taking advantage of her labor and wanted her to marry him and work for free, that Topa thought was worth investing in.

"Are you really willing to help the company take back Pinocone?"

Topa changed the subject and asked a question with a friendly smile, while Qiong seemed a little guilty.

"Really, really?"

Qiong wasn't really sure he could make a promise. If he really sided with the company, regardless of what Robin thought, his brother-in-law would definitely try to kill him. Although he wasn't afraid of his brother-in-law, he was good at coaxing women, but he had never tried coaxing his brother-in-law. If things got too tense, Robin wouldn't be in a good position either, so Qiong was in a difficult position as well.

"The robin must be a member of the family."

Toppa looked at Qiong meaningfully and said that it was precisely because she understood the man in front of her that his thoughts were easy to guess, and there was no need for her to scheme against him.

P.S., Toppa and Sora's little story was also recorded in the final chapter of the previous season.

Chapter 91 Envoy Experience Card

"Yes."

Qiong still appeared very guilty. Toppa would have a million ways to ruin someone like him at the negotiating table if he wore his emotions on his sleeve. But Qiong didn't go to the negotiating table; instead, he would drive Toppa to the brink of mental collapse from the sidelines.

"You didn't react when you saw the robin?"

Topa asked with a smile. She didn't believe that Qiong, that super lecher, would not be tempted by a robin. He was definitely the kind of bastard who only cared about looks and physique, the kind who could be added to the universe's scumbag club. The only difference was that he was indeed consistent in pursuing girls, and he was aiming for marriage rather than just playing around.

"Haha, you know me best. I want to pursue her and make her my wife."

Qiong scratched his head and said, "Topa has already figured it out, so I can't deny it anymore. But it's not something I need to hide."

"Then why do you say you're helping the company? You're trying to profit from both sides, aren't you?"

Topa said irritably that she often encountered this kind of person, who tried to please everyone but usually ended up with nothing. However, that was only when they encountered her. In reality, this kind of person always managed to succeed through their cleverness.

"Well, actually, Robin doesn't have a good relationship with the family. She's a big star on her own, so she doesn't need to care about the family's opinion. The main thing is that the family's performance has disappointed her."

Qiong thought for a while about how to answer Toppa's question. He knew that the only bond between Robin and his family was his brother-in-law. As long as his brother-in-law agreed to let go, Robin would not fight for his family.

"Oh? So you're saying you've already made contact with the robin and become her close friend? Otherwise, how would you know she's disappointed in her family? This isn't something you should tell a guest."

Topa looked surprised. To be honest, she admired Qiong quite a bit. She had only been in Pinocchio for a short time, but she was already a close friend of the robin. She had thought that big stars would be harder to pursue. Was it because big stars were easy to fool, or because Qiong was so skilled?

"The robin's disappointment with the family will likely affect the execution of the Harmony Ceremony. If the news is true, the ceremony will not be able to take place, the family will lose face, and it will be a good opportunity for the company to step in."

Topa stroked his chin and said, a smile spreading across his face as he unexpectedly received very good news from Qiong.

"Are you trying to trick me into knowing whether the Mingqi is G-Wu or Jiuba?"

Qiong paused for a moment, then looked at Toppa with a strange gaze. He didn't think too much before speaking, but he didn't expect that the people in the company were so cunning that they could trick him like this.

"You were too careless."

Toppa smiled and said that tricking Qiong made her feel much happier, and the annoyance she felt from being taken advantage of earlier completely disappeared. Qiong is really a useful person.

"What precautions could I possibly take against my wife? I wouldn't even glance at a stranger if you replaced her with someone else."

Qiong crossed her arms and said unhappily, feeling like she had been deceived by someone close to her. Topa just smiled and didn't refute him for calling her his wife.

Do you know what a cornerstone is?

Toppa changed the subject, and Qiong's attention was diverted, so she lowered her hand.

"I think I heard Estella mention it before, isn't it the origin of the ten Stonehearts in the company?"

"Yes, there are ten foundation stones in total, and each of the ten people in the Stone Heart holds one."

Toppa gave Qiong a general overview of the facts, but Qiong didn't have any particular opinion. He only knew that his wife was very capable and had managed to get to this position on her own, but he didn't know the specifics.

"So you have some sand gold too?" Qiong said.

“That’s right. Ordinary people don’t know the function of the foundation stone, but we do know that it contains extraordinary power. The holder needs to use their will to carve it open, and then they can temporarily obtain the power of the Amber King.”

Before Toppa spoke, she snapped her fingers, and Zhang Zhang, who was following her, opened her mouth and swallowed her voice, or rather, swallowed the sound of the area, so that only the two of them could hear her conversation.

"Wait, isn't that the power of the Commander? A Commander experience card?"

Qiong was truly captivated by this news. He looked at Topa with sparkling eyes, not expecting that the woman he had taken a liking to was not only beautiful but also very capable in combat. Although it sounded like just a one-time trial card, if Topa angered her, she would have to face the power of the Commander directly, thus ensuring her safety.

"It's like this."

"Then what's the point of telling me?"

Qiong asked curiously. This secret must be quite a big secret, otherwise Topa wouldn't have needed to block out the sound. Qiong was very happy with this trust, but it wouldn't do him any good even if he knew.

"Now we've encountered a problem: when the gold dust entered the dream, the foundation stone was confiscated by the family, and they also know its purpose."

"Haha, the trial card is gone."

Qiong laughed heartlessly upon hearing this, but Toppa's next words made his smile vanish.

"My foundation lies in the hands of placer gold."

"Why? I'm jealous."

Listening to Topa's description, Qiong felt that this foundation stone must be something more important than life itself. Topa could entrust his life to the gold dust, which was truly unexpected. Qiong also directly expressed his thoughts, as he had never even touched Topa's foundation stone.

"There's nothing surprising about it. The ten members of Stoneheart are united in their efforts and working hard for the company's benefit. Taking back Pinoconi is a difficult task, so it's only right that they look out for each other."

Toppa smiled and shook his head. It was rare to see a man so jealous of her. She also made it clear that this wasn't a partnership between her and Sand Gold that was a matter of life and death, but rather a collaboration entirely for the benefit of the company. Qiong felt much better after that.

"That means the family now has two cornerstones. Aren't you afraid they'll throw them into the toilet? You're enemies."

Qiong complained, "It feels like the family already owns one-fifth of the shares of the ten people in Shixin. If I were a senior executive in the company, I would definitely be terrified."

"Could you use a different adjective? For example, even a black hole is better than a toilet."

Toppa glared at Qiong and said that she would rather the foundation stone be thrown into the black hole. Theoretically speaking, the foundation stone was not actually made by the Amber King, so it was not blasphemous. Qiong's nonsense could not be heard by the family.

"Sorry, I'm used to it."

"It's frustrating that the cornerstone was taken to the dream world by the family, which means that in this real world, no matter what we do, we can't get the cornerstone back."

Toppa spread his hands and said, "If the cornerstone were in reality, we could retrieve it even if it went into a black hole. But the problem is that the dream world is too mysterious. We can go in and out, but who knows how to get the thing out?"

"I remember there's a rule in the Dream Handbook that the family has the final say on the interpretation of dream items. If they tell you that something can't be brought out due to some accident, you'll be so upset your thighs will hurt."

Qiong thought of something important, so he stared at Topa's thigh and said something. Topa immediately put down his right leg, which was crossed over his left leg, and sat up straight, looking at him.
