Star Railway: I'm developing the Star Railway mobile game at my company.

Ultimately, she chose not to live in a dream.

Even reality will eventually crumble, let alone a dream.

[If this beautiful dream is destined to shatter, everything will leave: friends, family, strangers; then the gentle breeze, the soaring birds, the stars... and finally, yourself.]

Every single one of them, every single person in their memories, those smiles and tears, those fulfilled and those unfulfilled promises... will ultimately lead to their predetermined end.

If you knew your destination from the very beginning of your journey...

Will you still embark on this journey?

This issue actually brought the audience to a consensus.

"That is required!"

"Reach that ending through your own will!"

"This passage is definitely hinting at Huang Quan's identity, isn't it? The End, or Nothingness?"

"Wait a minute, isn't Huang Quan supposed to be a sea patrol knight?"

Chapter 228 Oh no, we've run into some locals!

After a few questions, the audience seemed to understand but not quite.

Before sending Xing away, Huang Quan asked his last question.

Do you remember me?

In that instant, it seemed as if millions of similar yet different stars offered their response.

Finally, Huang Quan began to bid farewell to Xing.

The golden dream is about to stir. In the long night to come, you will likely encounter many setbacks, witness numerous tragedies, and in the end... all you will see is black and white.

But believe me, in that black and white world, a fleeting glimpse of red will reappear when you make your choice...

Then, the plot begins to unfold in a performance.

A long sword appeared in Huang Quan's hand at some unknown time, and the red patterns on it seemed to conceal some kind of clue.

Huang Quan slowly walked past Xing.

And you, you must carefully consider its meaning—

At this moment, time seemed to slow down all around us.

Huang Quan's smooth, long purple hair fluttered, and even though she was in the room, it felt as if a strange breeze had appeared.

Xing slowly turned her head to look at Huang Quan behind her, and at that very moment...

Huang Quan slowly opened his slightly closed eyes, and at the same time, a tear of blood flowed down from the corner of his eye!

Then, return to the world of waking up.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xing's pupils suddenly contracted!

It felt like an invisible force was striking his abdomen, causing Xing to be unable to straighten up.

Then, like a burst balloon, the star exploded with multicolored liquid under the bloody light!

We will all find the answers there.

As Huang Quan departed, Xing was suddenly startled, realizing that she was still on the train!

The terrifying and sudden scene just now truly stunned a large number of viewers.

"My God, what just happened?"

"Grandpa's bursting with juice!"

"Was it because Huang Quan acted too quickly that we didn't notice?"

"One elbow shattered my pioneering dream!"

"What the hell is that elbow strike? They even drew their knives just now, they must have been slashed!"

"If this isn't a dream, then I'm really dead!"

"That's some seriously hardcore way to wake someone up!"

"And what is the meaning of the bloody tear that Huang Quan left behind at the end?"

Before even arriving in Pinocchio, the characters were presented with this bizarre dream sequence, leaving the audience utterly bewildered.

When Xing returned to reality, she looked at her body still sitting on the train sofa, and tears uncontrollably dripped onto the back of her hand.

At that moment, Pam stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

[Star Passenger, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying?]

Upon hearing about Xing's experience in the dream, Pam comforted her, saying that it was probably a nightmare.

Don't worry about it, dreams and reality are often opposites. While you were sleeping, the train had already arrived in Pinocchio...

Although Pam was also curious about what Pinocchio looked like now, she couldn't get out of the car due to special circumstances, so she could only let the others experience it for her.

After all this trouble, we finally arrived at Pinocchio.

"Ugh... We've finally arrived! The family's entry procedures were so complicated. I was worried they might insist on taking out your star core to check."

March 7th complained as he looked at the magnificent Pinocchio Grand Hotel.

Just as Hoshi was walking to the front desk to meet Himeko and Walter, she saw Misha, a hotel waiter, standing to the side.

Just like in a dream, Misha stepped forward to greet Xing.

However, something was amiss. March 7 walked straight to the front desk without noticing Misha standing to the side, and even interrupted Misha while she was speaking.

[Star, come quick, something seems wrong...]

The slight disharmony revealed in this scene also sparked discussion among viewers.

"Something feels... off."

"It's like...it's like only the stars can see Misha's existence!"

"That's right, people on March 7th generally don't interrupt others when they're speaking!"

"Huh? What are you talking about? What Misha? I don't see her."

"Oh no, there are locals!"

Viewers were discussing it in the live chat, while on the train.

On March 7th, seeing Misha's figure appear, he sighed with emotion.

"Just as Himeko said, Misha appeared right in front of us from the very beginning. I really didn't see her at all."

Just as March 7 was feeling sentimental, she noticed that Pam, who was cleaning nearby, seemed to have stopped in place, and immediately asked a question.

"Pam, Pam? Train conductor!"

The increased volume brought Pam back to her senses, and she hurriedly explained.

"Uh... the train conductor didn't want to see Misha's condition!"

Seeing Pam's forced composure, March 7th gave a meaningful smile.

Then, with a single, merciless iron hand, he lifted Pam up.

"Ughhhhh—March passenger, what are you doing?!"

"Train conductor, come and take a look too! This is Misha, and it's what Mikhail looked like when he was a child!"

Although she was very reluctant, Pam immediately quieted down when she was held by March 7 and saw Misha.

Looking at Misha's figure, Pam recalled the scene when she said goodbye to the three nameless guests.

It looks just like him!

Returning to the main storyline, March 7th brings Xing to the front desk to find out what's going on.

It turns out that when registering at the front desk, the hotel system could not find Xing's name. In addition to Himeko, Walter, and March 7, the reservation information for one of the four platinum rooms was filled in as Danheng.

After realizing what had happened, the audience couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Waaaaah, I'm going to lose my little pearls! All the other passengers on the train are losing them, but I'm not!"

"Now, I am Danheng! (Hands on hips)"

"Yes, I am Mr. Danheng!" (immediately replying)

"Actually, I don't mind squeezing in with March 7th!"

It seems that Xing hadn't boarded the train yet when he answered Pinocchio's invitation.

Himeko and Walter explained and vouched for them, hoping that the room reserved for Danheng could be transferred directly to Xing.

Seeing the receptionist hesitate, Xing directly showed his Flame Spear to identify himself.

No, I don't doubt your identity, it's just...

The receptionist began to explain, but before she could finish, a familiar voice came from behind her.

[But right now, it's the eve of the Harmonious Festival, the most important moment of every era for Pinocchio. And with the family extending invitations, guests from all over the galaxy have packed this place to capacity...]

The gorgeous clothes and expensive accessories naturally draw people's attention to the person speaking, much like a flamboyant peacock.

The hotel's security is already strained, leaving no room for error. This kind of thing happening suddenly is really beyond this lady's control—everyone on the Starry Sky Train, please don't make things difficult for her.

He was none other than the non-performing asset liquidation expert in the strategic investment department, one of the "Ten People of Stone Heart," the center of the sleepless night, and Sand Gold.

Chapter 229 The Watchmaker's Legacy

In the storyline, just as the train crew was communicating with the front desk, Sand Gold appeared from the side and said that he had also come at the invitation of the watchmaker.

The audience also started discussing this.

"Wow, we've finally seen live gold dust! I wonder when it will go into the pool!"

"There's also a tattoo on his neck, it looks like some kind of code?"

"The color of those pupils is absolutely mesmerizing!"

"There's a black heart on your chest, that's not good, let me cover it up!"

Sand Gold came forward not because he wanted to befriend the Starry Sky Train, but because the train crew had taken up too much time at the front desk.

An awkward atmosphere began to fill the air, so Himeko stepped forward and spoke.

[We've heard that Interstellar Peace Corporation has also received an invitation from Pinocchio. You must be their representative. Your company's elite certainly have an extraordinary presence—such a distinguished figure, could you possibly do us a favor?]

Hearing Himeko offer him a compliment, Sand Gold showed absolutely no interest.

Did I hear that right—"Do I need to do you a favor?" Shouldn't I be the one saying that to you all?

I've been waiting here for over ten minutes. Do you know how many credits that means to me?

Faced with the sharp-tongued Sand Gold, Himeko simply smiled and then said that she had an investment that the other party could not miss.

By using the identity of the gold mining company to act as a guarantor for Xing, not only can time be saved, but a group of new friends can also be made.

Upon hearing this, a subtle, almost imperceptible expression flickered in Sand Gold's eyes, as if he were a mastermind.

However, he still maintained a calm expression.

That's interesting. So, what can these friends offer me?

[This is an even more interesting topic. As fellow guests of watchmakers, why don't we settle down at Pinocchio first, and then take our time to get to know each other?]

The words "watchmaker" seemed like a secret code, prompting Sand Gold to nod in agreement.

"Yes, yes, but Miss Navigator, I must point out—"

If I were to intervene, the time saved should be something I gain for myself—not something you give me.

In his remarks, Sand King emphasized that he did not owe the other party any favors, but it was merely an exchange of benefits between the two parties.

The two big shots were demonstrating the art of conversation right before their eyes, leaving Xing and March 7th watching in a daze.

"Haha, with Himeko leading the way, Hoshi and March Seven here are just like two little kids!"

"Is this the clash between two big shots? Sand gold is indeed different from topa; it exudes such a strong sense of oppression!"
