Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Chapter 1504 Perhaps We Are All Goblins

She looked at Yan Huan and added:

"As a form of compensation, all expenses incurred by the two individuals at the holographic shopping terminal will be covered by Daydream Hotel."

A smile returned to the female manager's face, this time less formulaic and more genuinely earnest and lingeringly fearful.

“I am deeply sorry to have offended you both. The prosperity of Pinocchio has always been partly due to its pioneering spirit, and this memory and respect should be etched on every inch of the land, especially on the halls prepared for our most distinguished guests.”

"Please believe me, this will never happen again."

"It's another free meal; I'm tired of hearing about this kind of compensation."

Yan Huan slowly slid to the newly raised brass clock, stretched out her finger, and gently flicked the pendulum.

'Ding--'

A crisp metallic echo reverberated throughout the luxurious suite.

He turned around and looked up.

Watching these two hotel executives instantly transform from perfect service providers to crisis management experts, their attitude becoming almost humble, I couldn't help but admire them:

"I have to say, you guys are really awesome..."

He pointed his finger at the holographic image of the distinguished clock boy.

“If you dare to peel these off again... I’ll make these things appear on the toilet seats of the five family heads and play ‘On the Road’ on a loop.”

"Understood, Mr. Yan Huan..."

The female manager and male waiter maintained a respectful demeanor as they watched the two enter the master bedroom area.

Only after the door closed did they all let out a very slight, unanimous sigh of relief.

The female manager quickly typed something into the terminal, and the waiter's eyes also became unusually flustered.

In the porch of the Diamond Suite, only the newly installed brass clock remained, chiming a steady and resolute ticking.

……

On the brightly lit streets of the city center, Yan Huan and March 7th returned to this place.

The tranquil luxury of the Daydream Hotel seemed to have been left behind, replaced by suffocating noise and dazzling lights.

This is the most bustling area of ​​Pinocchio.

"We're in the city again." On March 7th, feeling the hustle and bustle around him, he was in a great mood.

"Hehe, every time I stand on the street during prime time, I feel like I'm part of high society."

"It's like the days of eating at roadside stalls are gone forever."

The skyscrapers resemble a giant, dynamic canvas of light and shadow, with dazzling golden neon lights.

A group of chattering billboards chased after pedestrians, endlessly touting the high quality and low price of their own products.

The latest supercar roared through the night sky, leaving behind dazzling particle trails.

The image of the popular idol Robin appeared on a giant skyscraper screen, her gentle and delicate smile almost bursting out of the screen.

"Has the robin released a new song?"

Yan Huan, hands in her pockets, stared at the image of the robin on the giant screen and couldn't help but question:

"Do you think these singers are really that talented... releasing new songs one after another, are they all really written by themselves?"

"They must have a team," March 7th said with a smile.

"Even Miss Robin has many professional friends and partners to help her."

"Most other celebrities are like that, except that Miss Robin has a better singing voice and is more friendly, which is why she became popular."

Most world-renowned celebrities engage in charitable work.

Firstly, it can increase one's popularity, which will allow one to garner more votes in various competitions, and also make more money from music albums or TV dramas.

Secondly, it avoids some taxes.

A portion of the Robin team's income is to be handed over to Pinocchio.

If a celebrity earns five million credits, according to the rules of their local world, they may have to pay one-fifth of that as taxes, leaving them with only four million credits in the end.

However, if his income is 4.99 million but less than 5 million, he might only need to pay 10% tax, and end up with around 4.5 million...

As a result, many celebrities choose to do charity work.

For example, if someone earns 5.19 million, they might choose to donate 200,000 to charity.

This way, you'll not only receive more money in the end, but you'll also garner widespread praise from ordinary people.

“Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Miss Robin.” March 7th looked at Yan Huan.

"Should we go visit her? We could bring her some news from Sunday; it's been a while since the two siblings have seen each other."

"Huh?" Yan Huan said disdainfully.

"Who were you making those video calls to earlier that Sunday?"

"With the internet so developed now, there's no such thing as a distance problem."

"People who don't want to talk to you won't exchange many words even if you're in the same room. People who want to hang out with you can write a whole essay about you even if you're just looking at a screen."

Although Sunday is the family's wanted criminal, he has many warrants.

"Don't think about anyone else. The family members are like idol trainees. Once they lose their popularity, they always have to come up with something new."

"Since we're getting free stuff again, why don't we go get something more expensive?"

"Expensive?" March 7 blinked her pinkish-blue eyes.

"Are you buying a necklace, or some other jewelry?"

"Are you stupid? Of course we want them all." Yan Huan patted March 7 on the shoulder and walked straight towards the commercial street ahead.

"Anyway, the family didn't say how much the limit would be, so there's no upper limit."

"If we want a particular store, they definitely won't allow it, but if we want something from that store, isn't that a piece of cake?"

For these businessmen, taking their chickens is definitely not an option.

But if you take a few more eggs, they won't say much, since the chickens are still there and the eggs can still be laid.

“That makes sense…” March 7th nodded slightly and quickly followed.

"This will be a good supplement to the train's funds. Pam will be so happy to hear that. We've come out for a trip and we can even make money for the train!"

The Golden Street was very wide, but it was still filled with a huge crowd.

Life from all corners of the universe converges here, and the number of races that Yan Huan cannot understand is increasing.

Not far ahead, a tall and elegant gentleman from the Long-eared tribe was arm in arm with his female companion, their silk dress shimmering with a metallic sheen under the lights.

A businessman who looked like a stone spirit was making a phone call by the roadside in a rough voice. Judging from the content of the conversation, he seemed to be discussing a mineral business.

Yan Huan always felt that this guy was betraying his own compatriots.

"Wow, so many races I've never seen before!" March 7th noticed this as she wandered around.

Among the people of Pinocchio, there are even goblins with green skin.

The goblin, its body hunched and back stooped, nervously made its way through the sea of ​​people, seemingly out of place amidst the bustling scene around it.

"Maybe it's an advertisement," Yan Huan pondered.

After the Star Core crisis was resolved, the company and family prepared many plans to expand Pinocchio's economy.

Because the company has many channels, it has saved a lot on advertising costs.

Chapter 1505 Swallow Them

These diverse people, dressed in different styles of clothing, formed a colorful river on the street.

High above the street, hovercars of various shapes and sizes, flashing the logos of different families or companies, shuttle like schools of deep-sea fish, their engines emitting a deep hum.

Above that, reaching the clouds, a luxurious airship adorned with the Clockwork Boy logo, resembling a miniature palace, slowly passed by, casting a huge, slowly moving shadow on the ground, prompting people to look up and take pictures.

March 7th also raised its head and looked at the spaceship in the sky.

"Wow, it's our Huyana Stone!"

"Speaking of which, it's been open for a while now, but I don't know how much revenue it's made."

"Tch, we can't get it anyway," Yan Huan scoffed.

After the last incident, Yan Huan, Dan Heng, and March 7 have had their management rights over the Huichangshi taken away by Himeko.

Even if they were to appear on the Huylangshi now, they wouldn't be able to make any changes to the business situation.

The three train enthusiasts know absolutely nothing about business.

Along both sides of the road, billboards played catchy advertising slogans and the latest interstellar pop music.

The music played by the speakers at the entrances of different shops is also different.

From energetic electronic dance music to languid jazz blues, they collide and overlap, creating a strange cacophony.

The hawkers' cries, the tourists' excited conversations and exclamations, the low growl of the hovercar's engine, the sounds of street performers playing unusual instruments...

All the sounds intertwined, yet strangely exciting.

In the dream, the streets always maintained a comfortable temperature, and it didn't feel stuffy even in the crowded streets.

Occasionally, the fine mist sprayed from the interactive installations along the roadside, carrying a refreshing scent, brings a brief moment of coolness.

Not far away, there is a multi-functional information pillar that provides map navigation and emergency calls, with news, advertisements and missing person notices constantly scrolling on its surface.

Several staff members wearing uniforms printed with the words "Hound Dog Security" were calmly scanning the crowd from both sides of the road.

“Speaking of which, my second uncle was chased and captured by this hound family last time.” Yan Huan looked at the security guards.

That seemed to be the first time I met my second uncle. He claimed to be a newcomer to the Iris family.
