Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

Not only that, the entire Asdena galaxy, including the people in the cosmic void who could not transmit sound, was actually echoing with laughter and applause!

After the dance ended, Wang Xuanqiao raised his head and gazed into the endless space, smiling faintly. Behind him, behind Huang Quan, who was standing in front of everyone else, applause and cheers erupted instantly.

There will no longer be any suspense as to who will win the bid for this promotional campaign!

Screw Gum, who had just stepped into the hotel lobby, was surprised by the scene. Although he was far away from the Asdena system, he had heard about the last chaos. That incident involved three Star Gods, but he had never expected to be met with the gaze of two Star Gods again.

Does Pinocchio's dream have such potential?

A hint of curiosity welled up in ScrewGum's heart. However, he had come here for Chadwick, his fellow genius club member, and he needed to fulfill his responsibilities first.

Xing was already waiting for him in the hotel lobby, while Liuying and Sanyueqi stayed at the Dream Building Border to continue collecting materials.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Ms. Xing. Every time we meet, it has a different meaning, and I'm grateful for that."

Although Star and Grum were already familiar with the simulated universe project, they still couldn't help but exchange a few words with the polite Grum. Then they said they had completed their battle with the Hound family and could now visit Chadwick's room directly.

As for what that confrontation was like, it all started with a pixelated pickaxe...

Today is Xingbao, quick look.jpg

Volume 253: : Sleepless Night, Ending Dance

A simple promotional event had caught the attention of the Star Gods, shocking even the guests at Pinocchio. While it was normal for the harmonious Hippie to show interest in the family domain, it was truly remarkable that even the joyful Aha applauded.

Wang Xuanqiao certainly knew why these two had come. If the Free Dancer's power continued unchecked, not only would Pinocchio but the entire Asdena galaxy would become a revelry. However, this power wasn't about control, but about invitation.

In other words, every member of the ball joined in out of their own will. As long as they were not ascetics who rejected happiness from the bottom of their hearts and pursued suffering blindly, they would not refuse this invitation.

As for Ahab, how could he not come to support the abundant happiness created by all these people?

As the core of the Free Dancer's realm, Huang Quan also received some small gifts from the Star Gods. For her, this experience was truly marvelous. For a self-destructor walking on nothingness, it was difficult to receive gifts from other Star Gods. The deadly black water would dilute and engulf all existence.

But she got it, through the dancers who danced freely, through all the people who experienced happiness from dancing...

Huang Quan wasn't thrilled by this, instead feeling a sense of peaceful tranquility. She knew her thoughts were correct. Through the recognition of the two destinies of harmony and joy, Huang Quan seemed to have a glimpse of the waves about to rise in the Dead Sea...

However, that was all for the future. For now, those who didn't make it to the ball were at a huge disadvantage. Not only did they miss out on the excitement of the grand event, but they also had to deal with the subsequent headaches caused by it.

For example - the committee responsible for organizing this event.

The Harmonious Star Gods were all here. As a believer in the Harmonious Way, I couldn't openly contradict the leader of Destiny, could I? But if I followed this line of thought, the most important part of the event, the judging process, would be completely ruined, and the entire event would become a joke.

After much deliberation, the committee decided to go ahead. The waters here were a bit murky, and they couldn't handle it, so they decided to leave it to someone higher up.

At this critical moment, a call came from the director of the School of Wealth at Origami University. The committee members recognized this director, Pipisi, who held some status within the Alfalfa family, and dealing with him meant showing some respect to the family.

The committee originally thought that he had seen the big scene and was asking how the judging process should be conducted, but they didn't expect that this guy would start by reporting the team that caused a sensation for using supernatural powers to cheat, and strongly requested that the committee cancel their judging qualifications.

Disqualified? You're crazy! Can't you tell the difference between the big and small kings?

The committee thought this idiot Pipisi was treating them like fools, so they hung up the phone. But after thinking about it, they still felt unsatisfied, so they reported the matter to the top of the family.

Soon, all the information regarding this grand ball was compiled by a dedicated team and presented to the family's true leaders. Undoubtedly, more people would soon be troubled.

Wang Xuanqiao, the instigator, was happily responding to the guests who were still not satisfied with the dance together with his companions. After experiencing the happiness, they no longer cared about the subsequent effects. Now they just hoped to do it again, and dance until the night turns white and the morning light shines on the earth.

But how could a dream that was always midnight possibly end in the morning? So Huang Quan could only politely decline the guests' request and, under the protection of Wang Xuanqiao, leave the dream with his companions.

Not long after everyone left the dream, Wang Xuanqiao received a message from the robin. She sent an invitation, asking if Wang Xuanqiao and others were free to visit the Chaolu Mansion.

The Chaolu Mansion was originally the administrative center of the Oak family and the meeting place for the five families to discuss how to manage Pinocchio. Besides the heads of the five families, only invited guests could enter that place.

But now, the Oak family had suffered a near-destructive blow during the chaos of order, and the Morning Dew Mansion had lost its original status, built on the Oak family's legacy. Besides still being an office space for administrative staff, its position as a center of power was effectively dead.

Having filled the power vacuum of the Oak family, the robin took advantage of the situation and turned the Morning Dew Mansion into the hub for exercising his power.

Since it was the robin's invitation, Wang Xuanqiao naturally accepted it. He said hello to his companions and took them with him to the morning dew.

Compared to the original venue, which was filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere, the current Chaolu Mansion is undoubtedly less heavy and more lively. It is more like an administrative center than a political vanity project.

Those guests who tried to come here to pay homage to the powerful and influential were basically no longer seen. The only people who could be seen everywhere were the staff of the Oak family. They were all reinforcements from the branch family and those who were recruited later.

Upon entering the Chaolu Mansion, Wang Xuanqiao immediately spotted Robin waiting in the hall. She personally came out to greet him, instantly dispelling the awkwardness that had plagued them for so long.

Seeing Wang Xuanqiao and his companions arrive, Robin didn't rush to take them away to discuss matters. Instead, she greeted Raiden Mei and the others and got to know them. She also praised the dance to everyone and quickly became close to these girls she had just met.

Then, the robin acted as a guide and led everyone into the Chaolu Mansion.

The reception room was ready. Robin waited until everyone was seated before taking a seat near Wang Xuanqiao.

She originally wanted to sit directly next to Wang Xuanqiao, but Lei Dian Mei and Huang Quan surrounded her on both sides, so she could only sit next to Huang Quan.

"We're all friends, so I won't say those polite words." The robin said after sitting down, "I invited everyone to the Chaolu Mansion this time because I have something to tell you."

"Our activity works can't be included in the selection, right?" Wang Xuanqiao immediately realized what she was going to say.

"To be precise, we have been recognized as the winner." The robin smiled gently at Wang Xuanqiao and the others and replied.

"I have already exchanged opinions with the heads of other families. We all agree that everyone's works have exceeded the normal level of this event. If we continue to participate in the selection, it will be unfair to everyone and the other participating works. So we decided-"

“We will set up an exclusive award for everyone and include their work in the Pinocchio Cultural Collection for permanent preservation.”

After Robin's explanation, Wang Xuanqiao realized that the clan had offered honors and rewards far beyond the event itself. The clan unanimously agreed that as long as they participated, no one else would be able to compete.

If it was a normal competition, it would have ended here.

But unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Wang Xuanqiao had done this to completely eliminate the two groups that weren't following the right path.

"Ms. Mockingbird, we didn't do this to win."

Huang Quan was actually closer to Robin than Wang Xuanqiao, so she was the one who brought up the truth. Wang Xuanqiao had already informed everyone of the Origami University team's crimes and the company team's conspiracy.

After listening to Huang Quan's story carefully, the robin sighed deeply.

"I will take care of the Origami University matter. But as for the company, I can't ask the Publicity Committee to disqualify them without any substantial evidence."

"That's okay. I'll handle the company's affairs." Wang Xuanqiao nodded and said to Robin, "But I take the Origami University team's affairs very seriously."

"Origami University is, after all, an institution of higher learning that exports talent to the galaxy. If there are people with such ulterior motives within it, especially those at the level of teaching and management, the impact they will have will be extremely negative."

At this point, the robin had already understood Wang Xuanqiao's underlying meaning. She lifted her chin slightly and began to ponder. But before long, the robin suddenly smiled.

"I do have a proposal on this point." She looked at Wang Xuanqiao and blinked slightly.

——The author has something to say——

I didn't expect that the matter I mentioned yesterday was finally concluded today.

The guy in the book review section is a complete blast. I'll just give you a couple of examples and you'll understand what's going on.

There are many details in the official plot that cannot be delved into, as delving into them would ruin the character. Therefore, the secondary creations made the character of Ai Li more full-bodied and more in line with her character.

Your statement that it's all secondary creation's fault is incorrect. The official setting for the character Ai Li is inconsistent with the plot.

[Back to the question itself, "Is Ai Li a lesbian?" This question is subjective to the secondary creators, but the official also needs to endorse it.]

[And you simply put the second creation into your mind and threw the facts behind you]

Phew! I just want to laugh. If this person had read my review yesterday, he wouldn't have said such nonsense. Also, I want to emphasize that I won't take his comments out of context. His full comments are in the book review section anyway, and I won't delete them. You can read them for yourself. Of course, I can't do anything if he deletes them himself, but I did take screenshots of his comments in the book group, so he can't blame me if he deletes them.

I have only one evaluation for this person: I don't read the rumor-busting, the original work is excerpted, the secondary creation is flattering, and he has no brains.

Volume 254: : Reaching out to Origami University

Today, Origami University is undoubtedly Pinocchio's most prestigious institution. However, if we turn back the clock to the distant era of dream exploration, known as the "Dream Development Era," Origami University was merely a training base for dream builders established by Grax, the head of the Hidden Night Thrush family.

It was not until later that the Iris and Clover families participated in the expansion and management of the institution, and Origami University finally embarked on the fast track of development, becoming a world-renowned top institution.

In other words, Origami University was like the exclusive domain of the Thrush, Iris, and Clover families. These three families controlled most of the power here, managing to maintain a balance of power among the five families.

Before the Chaos of Order, this balance was understandable. But after the Chaos of Order, the Oak family lost power, and the Clover family represented by Old Otti replaced the Oak family as the core of the family.

Even with the support of the branch family, the Oak family's decline is still irreversible. The Oak family currently cannot even choose a suitable head of the family, and can only rely on Robin to perform the duties of the head of the family.

Since taking over, Robin has not only been responsible for the operation of Pinocchio, but also has to subtly take back the rights that originally belonged to the Oak family from other families to prevent the original balance of family power from being completely destroyed.

So when faced with the Origami University management issues mentioned by Wang Xuanqiao, Robin quickly came up with an idea.

"Nominate me to the Origami University Board of Governors?"

After listening to the robin's suggestion, Wang Xuanqiao nodded slightly and immediately sorted out the overt and covert thoughts in his mind.

This wasn't exploitation, it was simply a matter of mutual benefit. Robin clearly wanted to find someone who wasn't from the Thrush, Iris, or Clover families to dilute Origami University's existing power structure, but this person couldn't be from the Hound or Oak families.

After all, even Robin herself was merely an honorary alumnus of Origami University. Unless Origami University encountered any major problems, her influence on the university would be quite limited.

However, at this moment, a being of sufficient status, related to Pinocchio but not belonging to the Hound or Oak family, came to visit. This being also happened to have some ideas about Origami University...

No wonder the robin laughs. If Wang Xuanqiao puts himself in their shoes, he feels that he would laugh even more happily.

But the problem was that if he really joined the school committee, it would be like taking on a huge responsibility. Wang Xuanqiao pondered whether it was worth going to such lengths to punish a university administrator for misconduct.

He quickly figured out the answer to this question—of course it was worth it.

How can the people of Albania and China tolerate this kind of evil that will mislead students to continue to exist in the education sector?

"Okay, I agree." Wang Xuanqiao nodded formally to the robin, expressing his attitude.

No one present questioned whether this proposal could actually be implemented; everyone took it for granted. Having experienced the chaos of order, Robin even felt that Wang Xuanqiao was condescending by joining the Origami University Council.

You know, the reason why the business cooperation between the family and the company was able to be successfully implemented at that time was largely due to Wang Xuanqiao.

After agreeing with Robin on the Origami University team's handling of the matter, matters at the company became much simpler. Wang Xuanqiao randomly selected some popular slanderous and defamatory messages from the forum and sent them to Sha Jin, who was currently on vacation at Pinocchio.

Wang Xuanqiao said nothing else. But Shajin quickly replied with an OK expression, clearly knowing what to do.

Sha Jin naturally didn't think Wang Xuanqiao was causing him trouble; he simply felt that the company's people were somewhat short-sighted. He'd been enjoying a rare period of leisure, barely paying attention to promotional events, concentrating on gathering his energy for his next big bet. And then...

Everyone wants to find a springboard to climb up, but the springboard must be strong enough to stand on in order to ascend safely. If you can't stand on it, you're just a trapeze artist.

It seems that someone in the company is going to 'take off' again.

Sha Jin didn't care and arranged things with just a flick of his fingers.

From this moment on, the two teams that had dominated the promotional events were finished.

Wang Xuanqiao led everyone to chat with Robin about things outside of work, such as what Raiden Mei and the others were experiencing in the other world, and the excellent song "Sleepless Night".

Not until the time allowed by the robin was up did she have to stand up and say goodbye to everyone.

Kevin, who had separated from the others, had been waiting in the real hotel for quite some time. He had packed a lot of things, all covered up tightly. When asked what they were, he just said they were souvenirs and said nothing more.

Wang Xuanqiao, who knew the inside story, of course would not point it out. He smiled and led everyone out of Pinocchio and returned to the game hall, officially ending this journey.

The time was neither too long nor too short, and Mei Raiden and Bronya could even rush back to work. And they did, while Grace left with Kevin, taking the filming footage. The task of editing the Pinocchio version of "Sleepless Night" fell to her.

Although Bronya wanted to take on this task, unfortunately, the video of the Kiana sisters and Siegfried's recognition of each other had not been finished, so she was no match for Grayshu.

Especially since Grace could ask Eden for help, Wang Xuanqiao naturally preferred her.

Fu Hua also left with Kevin, saying she needed to return to the Fire Moth for a physical exam to confirm the specific effects of the "One Person Civilization" on her body. This left Li Sushang the last one left behind.

She was the only one among all the people present who still had nothing important to do.

Wang Xuanqiao thought about it and realized that he would have to go check on Dr. Chadwick soon, so he simply asked Li Suchang to continue to help him run the store. Li Suchang was happy to help. She found this fairy cave very interesting and she would never get bored.

Wang Xuanqiao sent Xing a message, asking her how things were going and if it would be convenient for him to come over and check on the situation. After receiving a positive response of "come soon," Wang Xuanqiao put away the terminal and continued through the sensor door, disappearing under Li Sushang's gaze.

"Well, no matter how you look at it, it seems like a divine trick." Li Dazhentou said happily.

Entering the world of Star Dome Railway again, Wang Xuanqiao discovered that this was no longer Pinocchio, but another place.

He only needed to use his sensor to scan the surroundings briefly before he confirmed that this was the Black Tower Space Station. It seemed that Grum and Star had rescued Dr. Chadwick and sent him to the Black Tower Space Station.

Wang Xuanqiao soon noticed the two geniuses, Screw Gumu and Black Tower, who were discussing something in an isolation room.

As for Xing...she was playing on her phone outside the isolation room. It wasn't that Black Tower and ScrewGum excluded her, but because Xing couldn't understand what they were discussing, she went out to play on her own, allowing Black Tower and ScrewGum to focus on the discussion without having to translate the content for her.

"The manager is here?" Xing raised his head and saw Wang Xuanqiao coming over and greeted him.

"Did you abandon the train at Pinocchio and come to the space station by yourself?" Wang Xuanqiao seized the opportunity to ask the unsolved mystery of the game about 'Where is the Starry Sky Train'.

It’s impossible that the person was really teleported here, right?

"Isn't this normal? When I needed to test the simulated universe, it was Ester who sent a spaceship to pick me up. After I was done, I could just take the spaceship back to the train. The jump was very fast, and most of the time I'd be there in the blink of an eye."
