"Alright, there's no one queuing in the lobby now, let's go find Miss Aili," Himeko decided.
"I'm very sorry for the inconvenience I've caused you personally; your rooms are ready," Aili explained softly, taking four exquisite room cards from a drawer and handing them to everyone.
"These are your Dream Passports. They are the room cards for the hotel, and they also integrate all your functions and information at The Reverie Hotel, providing intelligent assistance," Aili introduced the room cards in her hand in detail.
"At the same time, it is also a special Penaconysouvenir, unique and belonging only to you."
As she spoke, Aili pointed to the elevators not far away and gently wished them, "May you all enjoy beautiful dreams in Penacony. You can access your rooms from the elevators over there."
"Yay! Let's go now!" After March 7th cheered, the four of them took their room cards and headed towards their rooms.
The scene shifted, and Stelle arrived at her room alone, somewhat surprised to find her door wide open.
Upon entering, she saw a familiar blonde figure standing in the room, with his back to the door. Hearing Stelle's footsteps, he turned around, and it was Aventurine.
"What a coincidence, we meet again," Aventurine said with a smile.
"This is my room, why are you here?" Stelle asked, a little strangely.
[Bronya: Sneaking into a girl's room, that's not very gentlemanly.]
[Firefly: Stay alert, this guy definitely has ill intentions.]
[March 7th: You have to be careful, if there's danger, make sure to call me immediately… and Uncle Weltand Himeko!]
[After March 7th finished speaking about herself, she added Himeko and Uncle Welt with a bit of a guilty conscience, after all, if the sky fell, Uncle Weltand Sister Himeko would be there to hold it up.]
"Don't be nervous, I just came to soak up some good fortune. Now it's your room, but half a system-hour ago it was mine. A lucky floor number, a lucky floor, a lucky room number. I went to great lengths to book such a treasure, and now I'm giving it to you. You must cherish it, my friend."
"This room… you gave it to me?" Stelle asked, a little strangely.
"Otherwise, could the Family have just given it away for free?" Aventurine rolled his eyes: "This Penaconyis 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?"
[Seele: Speaking of which, why is Penacony so popular anyway?]
[Gallagher: Penacony's location is quite special. After checking into The Reverie Hotel, one can enter the dream world through the Dreamscape Pool, experiencing real beautiful dreams. Dream-chasers from all over the galaxy come here. They live and die in dreams here, enjoying the joy of escaping reality.]
[Seele: Sounds like… a very despairing place.]
[Gallagher: For some, this is heaven, but for others, it is hell.]
"Think about it carefully, who are the people who can stay here? If it weren't for my strategizing, how would the Family dare to offend these celebrities and big names to open a back door for an uninvited guest like you?"
"So, let's sit down and talk—by hook or by crook, I have the right, don't I?"
"You should look for Welt or Himeko," Stelle calmly replied. "I can't make decisions."
"Wrong, you are exactly who I need to find," Aventurine replied. "Simply put, my friend, I need your help. Perhaps you don't know yet, Penacony is far from as simple as it looks. The Family's eyes and ears are everywhere here. I don't want to be explicit, you understand."
"My goal is very simple: to help the company reclaim what rightfully belongs to it. If you are willing to help me, after the matter is done, you will receive a generous reward and the protection of Preservation."
[Sunday: The company is indeed plotting against Penacony… or should I say, it was expected, wasn't it?]
[Welt: The Land of Exile, Penacony… was originally the company's prison, but now the Family has built what is almost the largest amusement park in the galaxy. I suppose the company has long wanted to find a way to reclaim it.]
[Aventurine: Who knows? Perhaps we can look forward to the ending of the story together.]
[After Aventurine sent a bullet comment, he casually put his phone aside, leaned back in his chair, and continued to watch the show. The plan hadn't even been implemented yet, and it was already about to be fully exposed. Now the board members would be troubled, but at least for him, it didn't matter, as this job hadn't fallen on his shoulders yet.]
"Why me?" Stelle tilted her head, asking back in confusion.
"After all, you are different from others. You are special, special enough to overturn the entire card table. Don't you want to use that power? Or don't you want to get rid of it? Don't you want to make a name for yourself in the universe with it?"
"That kind of power, both feared and desired, is within your grasp—Miss Stellaron, am I right?"
[March 7th: I knew he wasn't a good person! Stelle, you must pay attention to your safety, don't get caught by some shady character.]
[March 7th completely forgot what she had said when she saw the friend fee earlier, this unprincipled woman.]
[However, since she was thinking of her own well-being, Stelle forgave her words.]
[Fu Xuan: Interesting… So, you are a Stellaron Spirit?]
[Stelle: …I do have a Stellaron inside me, but I'm not some Stellaron Spirit!]
The viewing continued.
Stelle asked back, full of suspicion, "How did you know?" A hint of confusion and wariness was revealed in her eyes.
However, facing Stelle's questioning, Aventurinemerely smiled slightly, "Now I know."
[Stelle: !!! You tricked me into talking!]
[Aventurine: Now I know too.]
[Welt: Whatever you intend to do, do not try to use members of the Trailblaze Crew.]
[Herta: Be careful, if you disappear, I'll be very troubled—a suitable experimental subject gone missing.]
With a slight smirk, he said, "Heh, you don't have to answer me now. Thinking takes time. When the time is right, I will naturally come to find you."
"Of course, you can also discuss it with your companions, or even turn the tables and use me, oh, I welcome it, because that is showing me your value." He slightly reined in his smile and said solemnly, "I never do business at a loss. I hope all my friends… don't disappoint me."
Stelle shook her head: "I can't make the decision."
He waved his hand, seemingly expressing with a hint of helplessness, "I said, don't rush to answer, because no matter what, the outcome won't change."
"Heh, you don't have to answer me now. Thinking takes time. When the time is right, I will naturally come to find you."
"Of course, you can also discuss it with your companions, or even turn the tables and use me, oh, I welcome it, because that is showing me your value."
"I never do business at a loss. I hope all my friends… don't disappoint me."
"I can't make the decision."
"I said, don't rush to answer, because no matter what, the outcome won't change."
