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

Chapter 420 Happiness is the Most Important Thing

Kroc Film Park.

"Sir...is that you? I heard the sound of leather shoes."

"Ah...it really is you."

The young child saw gold dust.

"I don't know why, sir, you always give me a special feeling...it makes me very curious and eager to try."

"It's a pity I couldn't get to know you more. We should say goodbye now. Did you have a good time?"

"Are you... going back?" Sand Gold's tone was somewhat low.

The young child nodded. "Yes, I should go home now. The sky is getting dark; it's going to rain. I can't keep everyone worried."

Where is your home...?

The young child shook his head. "That's a strange question. Home is where Dad, Mom, and my sister are..."

"Right here in this dream."

The gold dust fell silent.

He had already guessed what it was, but he just didn't dare to admit it.

"This amusement park, this beautiful dream, is truly peaceful. Everyone loves it."

"But sir, why don't you like it?" the child asked.

Sand Gold remained silent. "Because they're not here."

Where are they?

At this moment, another gold nugget emerged.

Sand Gold lowered his head. "I don't know."

"You know perfectly well. It's just that the answer is meaningless."

The gold dust fell silent once again.

"Admit it, you're tired."

“We’re all tired, so we’ve decided to stay here, me… and him.”

"Your 'past'...and 'future'."

The real gold dust stood between the two of them, with nowhere to go.

"How long are you staying here?" Sand Gold still kept his head down.

"Forever. We will stay with you forever in this dream."

"This is the greatest respect we can offer to those who are determined to die."

"You already knew?"

"Why not? I am you too."

"Taking unconventional approaches is an extremely absurd method, but it's not uncommon for you. Because 'your own life' has always been the first chip you throw away, it's always been that way."

“You don’t care who the real culprit is, and you’re not interested in the so-called inheritance. All you want is to be a fair and impartial company employee, suffering in every aspect of your family’s territory, being put in scorching shackles, and pushed to the center stage…”

"And then, become the 'third victim' of this grand event."

"After that, it will be time for the big shots to make their appearance."

"Is it right?"

“I can do it, and it will be flawless.” Sand Gold said expressionlessly.

"Of course you can. Your good fortune will surely come your way at just the right time—a star core and a messenger…it’s that simple, isn’t it?"

"In this way, the company will be able to get on the table. And you will be able to extricate yourself from the endless vortex and get the liberation you've always dreamed of."

"This isn't the first time... This is the way you're best at, and the way you crave most. This farce began with 'death,' and it will end with 'death.'"

"So that's why the 'diamond' chose you?"

“All he wants is Pinocchio, regardless of the means or the cost… and it has nothing to do with any specific person,” Sand Gold said.

“But you forgot about Director Eve.”

"What do you mean?" Sand Gold suddenly raised his head.

"Haven't you realized it yet?"

"In this world, only he still cares about you, only she does."

"The others are just playing along, seeking value, but she is not."

"She wanted to live."

Sand Gold laughed self-deprecatingly, "But I'm not worthy."

The other gold deposit also fell silent.

After a long pause, he spoke again, "It must have been very tiring."

Sand Gold looked at him suspiciously, "You've suddenly become very considerate, have you had a change of heart?"

"I was born from your ego, so I know very well that taking back the chips that have been thrown is as difficult as climbing to the sky."

"I can't stop you from doing what you're going to do, and we can't change where you're going either."

"What's done is done. All we can do is seize every opportunity and try to gain as much as possible, even by just one more second." Sand Gold's expression was unusually serious.

"Yes. It's a pity that no one can make only the right decisions their whole life... although good luck is always on your side."

“You always win, you never lose—but why you? Why…it has to be you?”

"If the miracle of a lucky person is built entirely on the misfortune of all those he loves, and even more... if every rain you bring never symbolizes the forgiveness and grace of the Mother Goddess, but rather one meaningless death after another..."

"So what mistakes did we make to be born into this world?"

Sand Gold looked at him, his face turning ashen.

"No one has done anything wrong, and no one deserves to die, right, my friend?"

Suddenly, a laughing voice rang in Sand Gold's ear.

Sand Gold turned his head and saw a person wrapped in a colorful robe.

"Who are you?" Sand Gold asked.

"Why should I care who I am? Hahahaha..."

“What do you want to do?” Sand Gold asked again.

"What to do? I don't know. Maybe we'll ride the Ferris wheel, maybe we'll go to the movies, maybe we'll play the Easter egg machine."

"I really don't know what to do anymore, because there are just too many things in this world that can make people happy, aren't there, my friend?"

"Are you the Masked Fool?" Sand Gold took a step back.

"The Fool? And the Mask? Hahahaha, how interesting."

"The point isn't who I am, but who you are?"

"What I want to tell you is that the world can keep turning no matter who you are; the most important thing is to be happy yourself."

“Even if you’re going to your death.” The man in the colorful robe suddenly changed the subject.

"How did you know?" Sand Gold's face darkened.

"This is quite amusing, isn't it?"

"Even if tomorrow is the end of the world, we should still put on masks, run, jump, and have a great time."

"This was just a joke I made to you... hahahahahaha!"

"What exactly do you mean?" Sand Gold was getting impatient.

"Perhaps, destiny is in our own hands?"

With a thud, a mask fell to the ground.

When Sand Gold looked up again, the person in the colorful robe had vanished, leaving only the echoing laughter between the high-rise buildings.
