Starry Sky Railway, starting with a single draw of the Underworld

"Are you, like that gentleman, a member of the Pinocone family?"

Walter remained calm. To him, being a superstar was just a title; what mattered was his purpose. The sudden appearance of this powerful family figure was likely ill-intentioned.

"To be honest, I am a guest just like everyone else. Pinocchio is my hometown, but I left after I grew up. I am honored to be invited back to sing a song for the Harmonious Music Festival."

Robin explained to the stranger in a very friendly manner why she was there. March 7 clasped her hands together in front of her chest, looking like she had seen a superstar. Robin was such a kind person, which meant that she hadn't been a fan for nothing.

"The Sunday you mentioned is my brother, one of the local bigwigs in Pinocchio, and the organizer of this Harmony Festival. Hearing that you were having trouble, he brought me along to offer assistance. Unfortunately, we arrived a little late, which caused you a bad stay experience. I'm truly sorry."

Not only did the robin offer help, but it even apologized. March 7 felt unworthy of such an apology, as it was clearly not the other party's fault. So it quickly returned the favor.

"You are such a good person!"

March 7th and the robin sang in harmony. Qiong wasn't a fan of the robin, so of course he couldn't join the conversation. Besides, after all that talk, he only learned one thing: the man with bird wings was his brother-in-law. That made everything alright.

"Please rest assured, I have instructed Miss Ellie to resolve the system malfunction as soon as possible and to book an extra room for everyone as compensation. The hotel will arrange suitable rooms shortly."

Sunday spread his palms and spoke, his tone as gentle as a robin's, and he was handsome. However, March 7, the only one here who was influenced by men, did not give him a second glance, his attention still on the robin.

"Thank you for your willingness to mediate, but is it inappropriate to add extra rooms just for us? As far as I know, there must be quite a few guests from different factions who were invited together."

Walter's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, his words carrying a hint of refusal. Favors owed must be repaid, and what was originally agreed upon was a favor owed to Sand Gold, but now it seemed he would owe a favor to the family, which was something he did not want to see.

"Rest assured, the family will take the lead in communication. As the actual managers, we should help you solve any problems you may have while you are here at Pinocone. If you need anything at Pinocone, the family is always ready to serve you."

Sunday then smiled and continued, leaving Walter speechless. It would be rude of him to say anything more at this point. Moreover, this was only because of the Starry Sky Train's status. If any other passenger were in this situation, it would be a miracle if someone of Sunday's stature stepped forward, let alone with his sister, who was the last to arrive.

"The invitation is tied to the room, I have it, I don't need you to give me special treatment."

Huang Quan suddenly spoke up, and everyone's eyes fell on her. For a moment, no one spoke. In the world of business, everyone values ​​interpersonal relationships. Huang Quan's lack of appreciation and her tough attitude towards the family were unnecessary. She was like a college graduate who hadn't experienced the coldness of human relationships. To put it bluntly, she was too arrogant.

"Aren't you a passenger on the Star Train?"

The robin sensed an awkward silence around him and asked Huang Quan a question.

“I am, but there’s no need for the train to owe me a favor.”

Huang Quan revealed her plan. She had mentioned when she boarded the train that she would have an invitation, and now that she saw the train was going to owe a stranger a favor because of her, she felt it was unnecessary.

"So what does this lady mean?"

On Sunday, he felt that things had indeed exceeded his expectations, but his expression remained calm, and he did not get angry because of Huang Quan's tough stance.

"The Harmonious Music Ceremony hasn't started yet, and it's still a while before I check into the hotel. I'll come over with the invitation before then."

Huang Quan said bluntly, "Since things have come to this point, there's no need to provide extra rooms on Sundays." Walter had been frowning, but not because he was angry at Huang Quan's attitude. Rather, he felt that this might be a good outcome. He hadn't thought of this approach before; it was the younger generation who should be doing it.

"Then, may you all have a wonderful time in your dreams."

Seeing this, the robin didn't say much. After leaving her blessings, she followed Sunday and prepared to leave, but after taking only two steps, Qiong strode forward and stopped her.

"Eh?"

The robin looked surprised, thinking he had encountered a fanatical fan, but Qiong simply took out his phone and handed over the QR code with a smile.

"Miss Robin, please add a Microstar."

Qiong smiled and explained her purpose. March 7 stared at Qiong with wide eyes. She also wanted to add Robin's private micro-star. There was a cosmic superstar in the chat list. Even if she didn't chat, it was still nice to look at. But March 7 didn't have Qiong's initiative. Most people wouldn't dare to ask for it so directly.

"this..."

Robin did not directly refuse Qiong, but looked at Sunday beside her, meaning that she was seeking her brother's opinion and that she could not make the decision on her own.

Chapter 29 Let's add MSI first.

"My sister will be very busy lately and will hardly have any personal time, so let's do it another time."

Sunday reached out and stopped Qiong, saying that as a fellow man, how could he not understand Qiong's thoughts? The way this guy looked at the robin was clearly the way a man looked at a woman, overflowing with the desire to marry her. As a sister-complex man, Sunday was already being very restrained by not immediately unleashing a powerful attack on Qiong.

"If you need anything in Pinocone, the family is always ready to serve you."

Qiong suddenly said something completely nonsensical, which made even someone like Sunday pause slightly, while Robin looked at Qiong with her bright eyes.

Everyone here is intelligent, and the meaning behind Qiong's words is self-evident. He had just said these words on Sunday, and they were just a polite remark. Someone of his status couldn't possibly be a babysitter for the people on the Starry Sky Train every day, and he never thought anyone would take it seriously. But Qiong repeated it within a few minutes, and if he said he couldn't do it now, he would really be slapping himself in the face.

Since the topic is about being available anytime, communication is an indispensable part. Qiong grasped this point, which is why Sunday had to answer the phone. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he took out his phone to add Qiong's WeChat.

“Mr. Qiong is right. The family is at your service at any time. This is my personal microstar. You can contact me anytime if you need anything.”

Robin smiled kindly, took out his phone, opened the MSI app, scanned Qiong's QR code, and added him as a friend.

On Sunday, Qiong's expression changed slightly, but he ultimately said nothing. This was because Qiong's target was Robin, who was also a member of the family. If he refused at this point, it would make the family seem petty. Thus, Qiong obtained his future wife Weixing through his brother-in-law's words. They had already added each other on the chat app. How far was it from him to trick her into going home?

"Walter, our child is really something else."

Himeko, who was watching closely from the side, couldn't help but praise Qiong. It wasn't just being unreasonable; it was using the oversight left by the other party as a strategy to win over Weixing, the object of her affections. This scheming was absolutely brilliant; it didn't seem like something a child would do.

"It would be even better if it could be used for good."

Walter pushed up his glasses and said, "Qiong's move is indeed impressive, but it's only good for chasing girls. Walter is quite helpless. He's getting old. If Qiong grows up, she will definitely become a pillar of the Starry Sky Train. But her personality of being unable to move when she sees a beautiful woman is really worrying."

"Qiong boy, quickly share the Robin's Microstar with me."

March 7 grabbed Qiong's arm and said, "Robin's private microstar! To be frank, if Qiong's account were auctioned off, it would probably sell for the price of a star destroyer." March 7 was so envious he was practically tearing his own limbs apart.

"No, this is something I worked so hard to get," Qiong refused resolutely.

"You, you mustn't force me to beg you."

"This won't be our last meeting. You'll have to ask for it yourself next time."

Qiong still refused. He wouldn't share Robin's Microstar with anyone. What if they hated it? He'd have to risk his relationship with his future wife. He'd have to be crazy to do that. He'd rather let March 7 suffer. Anyway, a cup of milk tea would be enough to appease her.

"I'm going back to the train now."

Huang Quan said that since she didn't have a room to stay in or an invitation, she would just go back to the train. She was going to get an invitation before coming back anyway.

"me and you togather."

Qiong said without hesitation. Although he hadn't gone to the guest room to see what it was like yet, the entire Pinocchio was not as important as Huang Quan, so of course he went along.

Himeko and Welt, the two elders, didn't say much. Sora might still be a child, but Yomi had given it a lot of thought. Neither of them were the kind of elders who would forcefully change other people's minds; they would let things take their natural course.

Qiong and Huang Quan arrived at the port outside the hotel. Just as they were about to return to the train, his phone vibrated, indicating that a message had been sent.

I can't buy any more! [Qiong boy, something terrible has happened.]

Galaxy Handsome Boy [What, is our child about to be born?]

No more buying! [You're kidding me! Lady Black Tower has been attacked! Aren't you going to come back and check on her, you little brat?]

Galaxy Handsome Boy: [Oh my god, my grandma, the person I love most in this world, how can I live without her? How is the inheritance transferred? How much tax do I have to pay?]

I can't buy any more. [Actually, the Black Tower Lady doll was attacked by unknown assailants. The space station is in a state of panic, and I have no one to turn to for help, so I thought of you. How's Pinocchio doing?]

Galaxy Handsome Boy [I heard the Music Festival is still a while away, I have plenty of time.]

I can't buy any more. [Then come back here.]

Galaxy Handsome Boy [Good.]

"Ah Quan, I need to go back to the space station. Do you have time?"

After putting away his phone, Qiong's expression turned serious. This was the first time Estella had asked him for help, and she must have no one else she could rely on. Although their relationship wasn't quite at the level of lovers, it was more than friends. If he behaved well this time, it wouldn't be difficult for him to be affectionate with her.

"some."

Huang Quan nodded and said that Qiong immediately took her hand and boarded the train. Whether it was a jump or some other means, they would get to the space station first.

PS, please collect, recommend and vote for me

Chapter 30: There's something good here?

"Passengers, why did you come back, Pa? Is it because you missed the train conductor, Pa?"

Pam was looking out at the observation car on the train when she saw someone return and asked curiously, because she couldn't leave the train, otherwise she would have gone out to play long ago.

"Of course I miss you. A day apart feels like three 8-hour periods."

Qiong nodded seriously and said that Pam also had a happy smile on her face, but before she could smile for a few seconds, Qiong explained her purpose.

“Pam, the space station is in some trouble. We need to go back and help Estella.”

"In that case, you can just use the boundary anchor to go back."

Pam nodded and said that such a small matter certainly did not require the train's jump device, as it would cost too many resources to go back and forth. Therefore, she told Qiong a simpler way.

"What is that?" Qiong asked in confusion.

"It is an anchor point formed by the power of pioneering. As long as you are a passenger on the train, you can use the power of pioneering to teleport. However, you can only reach places you have been before, because this thing is easy to destroy and difficult to manufacture. It can only be fixed in the territory of your own people."

Pam began to explain what a Boundary Anchor was. Simply put, it's a teleportation point that can only be used by people approved by the train.

"Wait, why didn't you say you had something this good sooner?"

Qiong was stunned for a moment. If he had known about this before, he would have just inserted one in Belloberg and one in the Immortal Boat. Wouldn't he have been able to sleep with his wives every day?

“You didn’t ask Pam,” Pam said matter-of-factly.

"Okay, it's true that I didn't ask."

Qiong scratched his head and said, accepting the setting without any pressure. The Star Train was originally the legacy of the Star God. Humans can travel through space, so is it difficult for the Star God to make a teleportation array? It's as simple as picking your nose.

"Here is a map. Find the place you want to go, click on it, and then use the anchor point to come back."

Pam led Qiong to the karaoke machine in the observation car, pointed to an inconspicuous control panel, and said that after Qiong opened it, he saw the locations of several interdimensional anchors. He took Huang Quan's hand and clicked on the space station's anchor point. In just a moment, he felt himself flying. After a brief moment of disorientation, when he came to his senses, he was already standing on the space station's platform.

Beside Qiong and Huangquan was a radiant sphere, with cones rotating around it on top and bottom. These components were filled with twinkling starlight, and they did not look like any material in the universe. They were clearly made by the Star God.

"As expected of the Star God, he easily accomplished what ordinary people cannot."

Qiong Xin accepted this incredibly convenient setting without hesitation, and then took Huang Quan with her to the main control module where Estád was located. They met in just a moment.

"Come so fast?"

Estelle was slightly surprised to see Sora, but she didn't ask him how he got back, which meant that she knew about the existence of the Boundary Anchor.

"Because I am eager to return home, my longing for you has surpassed the speed of light."

Qiong reached out to grasp Estella's hand, but she deftly avoided his grasp and gave him a disdainful look.

"Don't give me that, let's talk in Ms. Black Tower's office."

Estella led Sora and Yomi toward the Black Tower's office. Along the way, they encountered Pepe, who had come to freeload. Sora picked up her dog brother and they entered the Black Tower's office together.

There were already two people standing in the office. One was the machine lifeform Screw Gum that Qiong had seen before, and the other was a man who looked like a human but had a plaster statue on his head. Heaven knows if he needed to breathe.

"Are you Screwgoom, and the strange plaster man?"

Qiong greeted Screw Gumu, but ignored the plaster man, since he could tell from his physique that he was a man and had no interest in him.

"Mr. Qiong, hello. We met before when we were testing the simulated universe, so I won't go into details."

Screw Gum raised his hand in greeting. Despite not being human, he was much more polite than humans. The plaster-faced man didn't say anything, and Sora didn't care at all.

"This is Mr. Veritas Ladio, a scholar of the Academy of Sciences."

Screw Gumu introduced the man beside her, and only then did the plaster man seem to wake up from his daze and nod to Qiong.

"I came to the space station to see the curiosities, and I was inexplicably dragged into this incident. The Black Tower was attacked, and we two outsiders are the prime suspects."

Ladio said that although there were security forces inside the space station, they would not arrest people for such a thing. The two outsiders also consciously stayed in the Black Tower office and did not wander around.

“Logic: Agreed,” Screwgoom said.

"So where is my grandma?"

Qiong.Yue-%Yi~Jiu~MiaoLiao walked up to 8. Dad asked Estella, "Such a big thing has happened, one of her dolls has been lost, it's not right for her not to come and talk about it herself. Moreover, Qiong is really curious about what the old woman will look like after she has become young again, whether she will be a beautiful woman."

"Ms. Black Tower is already on the company's private jet. I heard she was invited to attend some event. She herself said it's just a doll, so it doesn't matter."

Estella said helplessly that if the Black Tower were willing to come, she wouldn't be so busy and stressed. Unfortunately, the Black Tower didn't care at all, just like when the space station was attacked.

"Estella, what's wrong? You look so worried. It's not just about Grandma's doll, is it?"

Qiong quietly reached out and grasped Estella's warm hand, saying something. This time, he caught her red-handed, and Estella didn't resist.

"Well, actually, four staff members have been missing from the space station for quite some time now."

Estella looked at Sora and, thinking about her relationship with him, decided not to hide anything from him anymore. Now, Sora was the only person she could rely on. He was on the same side as the Black Tower, so trusting him was perfectly fine.

"Missing? When did it happen?"

Qiong asked in surprise. He had initially thought it was a prank targeting the Black Tower, but now it seemed that things were not so simple. This space station seemed to be haunted.

"In just these few days, the damage and wounds caused by the antimatter legion have been slowly healing, but it is precisely at this time that, despite my efforts to block the news, there are no airtight walls in this little tank. Because of the last attack, the staff have become extremely distrustful of the management. They believe that the space station was attacked because it lacked protective measures, so the voices questioning the management have been constant."

Estelle sighed. The attack by the antimatter legion was indeed a nightmare. Heaven knows why the antimatter legion targeted this little jar. After finally repelling the legion, mysterious disappearances occurred. It's fair to say that the staff were on the verge of a mental breakdown. At this point, any trigger would surely lead to a riot.
