Chapter 214: Aventurine, your heart is truly deep, your schemes are truly heavy!
Little Guizi's stream.
After finishing the conversation with March 7th.
Guinaifen felt a bit sentimental for a moment.
And just as she returned to her room.
She discovered that her door was wide open.
Inside, someone had already beaten her to it!
"What's going on?"
After seeing clearly who was inside.
Guinaifen immediately shouted unhappily: "Aventurine, what are you doing in my room!"
"Isn't this a bit too brazen?"
"Do you think just because you're a high-ranking executive in the IPC, you can do whatever you want?"
After entering the room.
Aventurine even greeted her as if nothing was wrong: "What a coincidence, we meet again."
[ This is my room, why are you here? ]
"Don't be nervous, I just came over to soak up some good luck. It's your room now, but half a system hour ago—it was still mine."
"Lucky building number, lucky floor, lucky room number, I went to great lengths to book this treasure spot… I'm gifting it to you, so cherish it well, my friend."
[ Regardless of the reason, get out. ]
A smile still hung on Aventurine's face, whether genuine or not.
He said: "Hey, why don't you hear me out…"
"The Penacony is a genuine land of dreams. How many people in the entire galaxy are willing to spend half their lives just to get an entry ticket to The Reverie hotel?"
"Think about it, look at the kind of people who stay here. If it weren't for my scheming, how would the Family dare offend those big shots and celebrities just to open a back door for an uninvited guest like you?"
Guinaifen shook her head.
"Tsk tsk tsk…"
"Worst case scenario, I'll just switch back to Dan Heng's room. Who wants your charity…"
"We on the Xianzhou have an old saying—Are kings, nobles, generals, and ministers born with better blood?"
"Aventurine, if you're trying to show off your power and methods here, you're dead wrong."
"I won't bow down to your authority!"
After finishing.
Guinaifen suddenly felt very dignified.
She couldn't help but put her hands on her hips.
And puffed out her chest!
...
"Well said, 'Are kings, nobles, generals, and ministers born with better blood?', Little Guizi is worthy of being my favorite streamer!"
"Sister Gui, my internet mouthpiece!"
"This Aventurine looks all prim and proper, yet he does such despicable things…"
"Aventurine, you're a bit too impatient, aren't you?"
"With all due respect, besides Topaz, there isn't a single good person in the IPC."
"Trying to make our Galaxy Baseballer yield for a few measly credits? Not happening! You'll have to pay more."
...
Next.
Aventurine did indeed quickly reveal his purpose—
"Simply put, friend, I need your help. You might not know yet, but Penacony is far from as simple as it looks. The Family's eyes and ears are everywhere here. I don't want to spell it out, you understand."
"My goal is simple: help the IPC take back something that belongs to it. If you are willing to help me, after it's done, you will receive a generous reward, and the protection of Preservation."
Hearing Aventurine say this.
Guinaifen immediately let out a laugh without any restraint!
"Hahahaha…"
"Sorry, but I've already received the gaze of Preservation."
...
"After it's done, we'll dance together in the OP."
"But the Amber Lord has already gazed upon us!"
"[ Displaying the Preservationist's Lance ]"
"Is it possible that the 'protection of Preservation' Aventurine mentioned refers to the IPC's protection?"
"In a sense, that's actually quite tempting."
"With both the Astral Express and the IPC as backers, I can't imagine how awesome the Trailblazer would be!"
"That's assuming Aventurine's promise is valid. I always feel like this guy is waiting to screw us over…"
...
The Reverie VIP area.
Aventurine was intently watching the plot unfold.
A faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing his own actions from a third-person perspective was truly a unique experience.
Right now, he felt.
It wasn't bad to have scenes related to himself appear in the game.
It allowed him to examine himself better from an objective perspective.
Aventurine felt this was a rather precious opportunity for reflection.
And beside him.
Topaz shook her head.
Sighing: "Your public credibility is truly terrible…"
"Look at the netizens' comments."
"Nine out of ten are trashing you, and the remaining one is just pretending to trash you."
"It's not just regular players, I see several IDs that are clearly IPC staff style."
"Even your own colleagues are trashing you, you're really hopeless."
Aventurine glanced at the comments.
Revealing a look of regret.
"Sigh, it seems I need to do more charity work in the future."
"Then again… with my current reputation, even if I did charity for free, I'd probably be suspected of having ulterior motives, right?"
Aventurine pointed at his own face, somewhat exasperated.
"Then what's the point? Might as well just let myself go on the path of a villain."
Aventurine leaned back in his chair.
As if he had given up.
Once he accepted the setting that he was a villain.
The only remaining bit of hesitation in his heart seemed to vanish as well.
"That's just how this world is…"
"Fate has never been fair from the start."
Aventurine mocked himself slightly.
Continuing to watch the plot...…..
He saw himself, after revealing his methods and value.
Start speaking to the Trailblazer in a seductive tone.
"You are different from the others. You are very special, special enough to overturn the entire card table. That [ Power ], don't you want to use it? Or… don't you want to get rid of it? Don't you want to use it to become famous across the universe?"
"That power which everyone fears yet craves, is right within your grasp…"
"Miss Stellaron, am I right?"
[ I don't understand what you are talking about. ]
"Nice acting, I like it."
"You don't have to answer me now. Thinking takes time. When the timing is right, I will naturally come to find you."
"Of course, you can also discuss it with your companions, or even turn around and use me. I welcome it—because that is also showing me your value."
"I never make a losing deal. I hope you all… won't disappoint me."
Aventurine nodded slightly.
Not bad.
This was exactly his own style.
Just as he was about to leave the room.
He turned back and gave a charming, wicked smile.
"Oh right, before I leave, let's play another game. It's simple, guess which hand the chip is in—just to get to know each other, so you can understand my character and way of doing things better…"
"Ding—"
A chip was tossed into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In its place were two clenched fists, held out in front of the Trailblazer.
"Left or right? Get ready—I'm about to reveal the answer."
"Oh, it seems I haven't asked you to choose a side yet. But that doesn't matter, because—"
"Friend, the game has already begun."
Saying this.
Aventurine approached with a cold sneer.
Opening his hands one by one.
In both hands.
There was no sign of the chip from earlier.
"Make a deal with me."
"You cannot refuse…"
"There is no reason…"
"And there is no room for negotiation."
And the Trailblazer showed a look of surprise.
That coin.
Had somehow ended up in their own hand.
Just as Aventurine took off his sunglasses.
As if a viper was baring its fangs.
A voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Hey."
"What are you doing in my room?"
...
"Aventurine's every move gives off a subtle sense of oppression."
"Such deep cunning, such powerful backing, such heavy scheming!"
"By comparison, Topaz is so kind."
"This person must not be left alive!"
"This guy is just a profit-seeking liar, you absolutely cannot trust him!"
"Acheron-sis, save me!!"
