Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 372 The Clockwork Boy

"You, you've gone too far..."

Hanabi covered her numb buttocks, looking at Eve with teary eyes and a wronged expression on her face.

"Too much?" Eve looked at Hanabi, her smile unchanged.

"No, that's not excessive!" Hanabi immediately agreed.

“That’s more like it.” Eve nodded slightly.

"Hmph! I'm not playing with you guys anymore!"

Fireworks vanished in a flash, leaving behind only red petals.

It was really unnecessary to agree to Silver Wolf's request.

"Are we just going to let her get away like this?" Liu Ying asked, somewhat worried.

“There’s no need.” Eve nodded slightly.

If they really wanted to bring her back, it would be as simple as snapping their fingers.

However, Eve got tired of playing, and Little Fireworks wasn't a bad person at heart.

“Okay.” Firefly nodded.

Xing stood to the side, seemingly watching something, and had been silent for a long time.

"Star? What are you doing?" Firefly leaned closer.

Shh! Is there something... calling for help over there?

Xing pointed to the crowd in the distance.

"Things? Calls for help?" Firefly looked over in confusion.

She saw nothing but people and heard no cries for help.

"Tick-tock! Help! Help me!"

"Someone's going to die! Help!"

The sound came again, and Xing confirmed it this time, immediately rushing over.

"Wait!" Firefly followed.

Eve didn't follow them; instead, she looked up at the sky above Pinocene.

Under the night sky, there were no dazzling stars, but rather... the lights of the modern era.

Money addiction has nothing to do with dreams.

"The Grand Music Ceremony... This doesn't seem to be a dream after all..."

"Little Silver Wolf... Star Core Hunters, what exactly are you plotting in Pinocchio?"

Eve sighed and then followed in their footsteps.

On the other side, in the crowd.

Xing stared wide-eyed at something below that looked like a clock, then uttered a fatal question.

"What...are you?"

The clock immediately got angry: "Hey! I'm a clock, not some 'thing'!"

After a while, it suddenly realized something was wrong, "Hey, wait—you...can see me?"

Firefly ran over at that moment and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

“I see a clock… with arms and legs,” Xing said, pointing below.

"A clock with hands and feet?" Liu Ying looked over and only saw white floor tiles.

No?

“It really is right here!” Xing said with certainty.

At that moment, the clock boy realized, "Could it be... that you can really see me?"

"Tick-tock! Great! Great! Misha is saved!"

"What are you talking about?" Xing asked again.

"Oh, sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet!"

Clockwork Boy immediately said, "My name is Clockwork Boy, and I'm a big star in Pinocchio, the town of Dreams! My friends and I protect the peace of this town—they are the Hanu brothers, Mr. Soda, Origami Bird, Hamster Ball Knight..."

"And Misha! Misha's in danger—tick-tock! Help! Help!"

Suddenly, the clock boy jumped up, the hands on his face wobbling and making the sound of an alarm clock.

"Clockboy? You're that cartoon character?" Xing realized.

She had just seen the Clockwork Boy statue in the square, and this one looked exactly like it.

"Clock Kid?" Firefly looked at Star strangely.

"You mean... you saw an animated character that doesn't exist in reality?"

"Can't you see?" Xing asked back.

Firefly shook her head: "Uh...where? I can't see it..."

"Strange, could it be an illusion?" Xing pondered.

"Tick-tock, I'm not hallucinating! Of course I exist! I'm a big star in Pinocchio, the town of Dreamland, and I never brag!"

The clock boy immediately jumped up.

"But why am I the only one who can see it?" Xing asked, puzzled.

“Tick-tock! I guess only straightforward, innocent, childlike children can see me—like this gray friend!” said the Clock Boy.

“He said you’re not straightforward, innocent, or childlike enough,” Xing said directly to Liuying.

Firefly immediately became unhappy: "Where am I not straightforward, innocent, and childlike enough...!"

"Hey! Don't relay my message so bluntly!" the clock boy said anxiously.

"Perhaps it's a difference in will."

Just then, Eve's voice came through.

"The will one has when entering a dream determines the content of the dream."

"Xing didn't enter the dream with any specific purpose, which is why she was able to see everything."

“I…” Liu Ying fell silent.

"That makes sense... Wait, why can this lady in white see me too?" Clock Boy realized.

"Because I am not a dream."

Eve crouched down and gently turned the clock hand on the watch boy.

"Ouch!!" The clock boy suddenly jumped up again, and the alarm clock rang.

Eve must have just happened to set her alarm to the correct time.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock! Big sister in white! Since you can see me, you must be able to help me!"

"My good friend Misha, he's in trouble! Please, save him! Otherwise, someone will die!"
