Genshin Impact: Starting with Jingyuan Character Card

“…Oh my god, I’ve become smaller. Am I dreaming?”

Sha Jin lowered his head and looked at his shrunken self in disbelief. Then he raised his head and glanced at Doctor Zhenli who stood like a giant among the towering buildings. He could not help but sigh.

"You are."

Latio was speechless. Aren't they in Pinocchio's dream world now? What else could this be but a dream?

"Professor, you've become so tall now! I came to the sandbox and became so small."

"I have an idea. How about we just leave like this, and you find another opportunity to slip me into Sunday's collar, and then we can use this method to infiltrate the family?"

Doctor Truth: "………"

"Hahaha, okay professor, I was just joking!"

Sha Jin laughed, shrugged, and didn't continue to dwell on this topic.

"Let me see, let's find a way to open the door first, this is the key..."

Sha Jin looked around the large model of the golden hour base, and then walked around the center of the sand table.

"Huh? Are there staff members in such a small sandbox?" After searching for a while at the Aideen Park model, a 'human' with strange movements suddenly came into his sight.

"Oh, that's really disappointing, it turns out he's just an NPC."

Sha Jin approached the puppet, and when he got close, the puppet turned around mechanically and spoke respectfully.

"Hello, guest. I am the 'Oak Soldier'. I am responsible for guiding you on your tour of the Golden Moment Base Model. I wish you a pleasant visit. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Oh, you're pretty smart, let me see your guidance function."

Sha Jin raised his eyebrows, put one hand on his waist, and looked at the oak soldier in front of him with interest.

"Hello, welcome to the 'Golden Hour', Kikikikiki—"

Gold Dust: '………'

Base mud titanium coal, right, little blackie?

So this thing is actually an artificial idiot? I really shouldn't have any hope for family things.

Thinking of this, Sha Jin raised his leg and kicked the oak soldier hard.

"Lelele is happy to serve you, and is growing and growing--!"

"Forget it. I shouldn't have had any hope for this thing."

Sha Jin covered his face and stopped paying attention to the artificial idiot produced by this family. How was this thing made? Was it a scam? Should I say it was worthy of being theirs?

After leaving the collapsed oak soldier, Gold Dust continued to explore the surroundings. About a minute later, his eyes finally fell on the center of Aideen Park amusement park, where the huge capsule machine stood.

"Professor, do me a favor and help me turn the spring on the gashapon machine."

Gold Sand waved vigorously at Latio, put his hands in front of his mouth in a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly.

"Tsk, that's really troublesome."

Although Latio said this, his body was still honest and helped Gold Sand to turn the spring of the gashapon machine.

"A piece of the puzzle? It looks like there should be a few more pieces."

Looking at the puzzle piece that opened in the gashapon machine, Sha Jin seemed to understand something, so he began to look for other puzzle pieces in this basic model.

After spending about a quarter of an hour, the clever Sha Jin finally found the three pieces of the puzzle. As expected, the family used the dream technique to hide the door among these pieces.

"The pleasant trip to Toy Town is about to end. It was really an interesting journey."

After successfully finding the hidden door, Sha Jin naturally had no reason to continue staying in the toy castle. Even though he felt a little reluctant, he still resolutely left this dreamy toy castle.

"I feel deeply sorry to see you leave the sandbox alive."

Latio crossed his arms, shook his head with a look of regret, and continued.

"Sunday should be behind this door. From a common sense point of view, he is definitely not someone who can be dealt with easily as he is the head of the Oak family, which is in charge of politics among the five families. His wrist must be as hard as steel. Are you ready?"

"Haha, of course. I believe that he is the one who needs to be prepared." Sha Jin smiled calmly, and the expression on his face did not seem fake.

"A reminder: overconfidence is not a good thing. Only fools are blindly confident."

Seeing Gold Dust's look, Latio frowned slightly.

"Have you ever heard the saying that a wise man hesitates, while a fool is determined."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Our Mr. Gold Sand was also interested in Latio's seemingly nonsensical remarks, so he did not rush to push open the door, but chose to stop and wait for the second half of the document from Doctor Latio of Truth.

"Because when a smart person faces a matter, many thoughts will come to his mind, that is, he will realize that what he is doing may be wrong, so he will hesitate."

"But fools don't realize this. They think they are right and firmly believe in it, making the same mistake over and over again."

After hearing what Latio said, Shajin's smile remained unchanged, as if these words had nothing to do with him. As for the innuendos in Latio's words, he selectively ignored them.

"Haha, the professor is such an interesting person."

"…Tell me about your plan, damn gambler."

"Plan? I don't have a plan. Improvising is my best plan." At this point, a slightly cold look appeared on Sha Jin's face.

"This will be a grand game. I already have three chips in my hand, and these three chips are enough."

“Three chips, everything or nothing.”

In the reception room of Chaolu Mansion...

"Tread, step, step..."

Gold Dust and Latio walked into the magnificent hall one after the other at leisurely pace.

As the main reception and conference hall of Chaolu Mansion, this paradise covers an area of ​​several hundred square meters.

Looking from the direction of the main door, in the center of the hall is a huge white round table. Around the table, there are five chairs, which correspond exactly to the five major families of Pinocchio.

The 'Iris Family' is in charge of culture, the 'Hound Family' is responsible for security and maintaining order, the 'Oak Family' is in charge of politics, the 'Thrush Family' is in charge of construction, and the 'Clover Family' is in charge of wealth and economy.

Right in front of the round table, there was a huge wall with a strange-looking relief engraved on it. Below the relief, a blue-gray-haired man stood facing the wall with his hands behind his back, as if he was quietly waiting for something.
