Upon further inquiry at the hotel reception...

I finally figured out the problem.

It turns out that Xing had not yet joined the train when the family extended the invitation.

The rooms we booked right now only have room for four people.

"Um... Danheng can't come because of something. Could you please transfer the room reserved for him to this child?"

“Xing is a new passenger on the train, and we can vouch for her identity.”

Walter pondered for a moment and then made a suggestion.

However, the receptionist still looked troubled.

Xinghe and March 7th immediately put their hands on their hips.

What, you look down on the Galaxy Baseball Man?

Xing immediately pulled out the Builder's lance from the void and gave the front desk staff a display of arms.

The lance, still blazing with flames, was proof enough of its owner's extraordinary status.

"No, it's not that I doubt your identity, it's just..."

The receptionist took two steps back in fear, and was about to explain again with an apologetic look on her face.

A frivolous, pleasant-sounding young male voice rang out from behind.

"But right now, during the Harmonious Music Festival, this place is packed with guests from all over the galaxy."

"Hotel security is now even more strained, leaving no room for error. This kind of thing happening suddenly... it's not something a young girl can handle on her own."

"Everyone on the Star Train, please don't make things difficult for them."

This figure, and the figure that slowly walked up behind the crowd.

Fans are very familiar with it.

Isn't this the same person, Sand Gold, who has been the subject of much online discussion and who topped the list of most hated characters even before Pinocchio's premiere?

With a slight smile, Sand Gold approached the train crew.

"We encountered some problems during check-in, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused."

"May I ask who this gentleman is?"

Walter adjusted his glasses and asked politely.

"I am a lowly gold miner, belonging to the company's strategic investment department, and I am an expert in non-performing asset liquidation under the Diamond division."

"I came here at the invitation of the watchmaker, and I am also a tourist who has been waiting for you for a long time."

Sand Gold, with one hand on his hip, said leisurely.

"I heard that Interstellar Peace Company was also invited. I presume you are their representative?"

Himeko and Walter exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and began negotiating with Sand Gold: "The company's elites are indeed extraordinary. Such an important figure, could you do us a favor?"

First, they would offer praise, and then make a request.

Himeko's strategy is flawless.

However, she was facing the company's negotiation expert.

"Did I hear that right? Could you do me a favor?"

"Shouldn't I be the one saying this to you all?"

"I've been waiting here for more than ten minutes. Do you know how many credit points that is for me?"

Sand Gold chuckled lightly, his tone becoming somewhat aggressive.

Himeko477 frowned, then smiled and offered a suggestion.

"It must be an astronomical figure, so now, Mr. Sand Gold, I have an investment here that you cannot miss."

“By using the company’s identity to act as a guarantor for this child, you can save time and make a group of new friends.”

The words fell.

Sand Gold nodded and smiled slowly, "Interesting. So what can these new friends bring me?"

Himeko did not give a direct answer.

Instead, he suggested that they make friends first. Since they were both watchmakers invited, why not go to the hotel first and talk slowly after they were seated?

"Yes, yes. But Miss Navigator, I must point out..."

"If I take action, the time saved should be something I earned for myself, not something you gave me."

"But I especially like the second half of your sentence. Friend, yes, nothing is more precious than a friend, especially an upright and honest pioneer like Wumingke."

Sand Gold smiled.

I gladly accepted Himeko's experience.

Himeko laughed too.

The intense banter between the two adults had left the audience breathless.

……

Sand Gold is indeed different from Toppa; this guy's words are full of tricks!

Wow, the witty banter between these two is so interesting.

Himeko initially tried to do someone a favor, but under Sand Gold's aggressive tone, she immediately realized what kind of person he was and changed her approach.

They started trying to persuade the gold mine owner with promises of benefits and advantages, but the gold mine owner remained defiant and aloof.

Yes, yes, after confirming that he would agree, he immediately gave the train crew a way out and even praised them.

This kind of rhetoric, switching between a tough stance and a friendly one, just goes to show that he's a negotiation expert.

But I really don't like this tone; it's nowhere near as good as Toppa's!

Indeed, he seems to have a strong sense of purpose and business acumen when he talks to anyone, and he is two-faced. But this personality does fit the identity of Sand Gold.

……

A simple conversation.

The first appearance of the gold dust left a deep impression on fans.

Negotiation expert, businessman's mindset, profit-driven.

These images, however, were not good images.

Chapter 170 The Truth Behind the Invitation! The Enigmatic Pinocchio!

This is the end.

Huangquan, Misha, placer gold.

The three characters have made their appearances one after another.

But something is still missing—something that can connect these different characters.

The audience continued watching.

Just after Sand Gold agreed to provide insurance for the train.

Sunday and Robin, the brother and sister duo, also rushed to the scene because of the commotion at the front desk.

"Look who's here, Sunday, Pinocchio's most handsome man, and the world-famous singer, the robin."

Sand Gold chuckled.

The robin, standing next to his brother, remarked with amusement, "He said you're the most handsome man in Pinocchio, how interesting."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries.

On Sunday, he still wore a gentle smile and pulled Sand Gold aside.

Meanwhile, the robins, in flock 8521, led the train crew to the adjacent booths for a short rest.

As two people of considerable influence, their personal appearance was a great show of respect to the train crew.

But it was during the robin's conversation with the train crew that...

The observant audience noticed something was amiss.

In that heavenly sound, there was always a missing syllable.

This is not a hallucination.

Almost every sentence has this tone.

……

Hiss, what's that strange sound?

Why do robins have an electronic voice when they talk?

There will always be one that sounds like a synthesized sound.

This voice gives me the feeling of AI dubbing.

This is so weird, so weird, it's giving me the creeps.

The plot is extremely unsettling from the very beginning, yet it doesn't tell us what exactly happened.

My brain is about to break.

Just a wild guess: the bad guy is a robin. The robin has been replaced by a robot, otherwise how could it have an AI-like voice? Emperor Rupert is going to launch the Third Imperial War here for who knows how many lifetimes!

6.

……

While the comments section was filled with random thoughts...

Meanwhile, Sunday and Sand Gold have also finished their talks.

On Sunday, the family offered a very sincere solution to the mistreatment the train crew had suffered.

Upgrade everyone's private room.

Given that Pinocchio is now inviting all the major factions, Walter felt that this special treatment was somewhat inappropriate.

"Rest assured, the family will take charge of communication. As the actual managers of Pinocone, we should help you solve any problems you may have."

On Sunday, she responded with a smile, "Only in this way can we express the family's apology to the train."

"So please enjoy your time at Pinocone."

"My sister and I have important matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave now."

After finalizing the arrangements, I said goodbye to the robin on Sunday.

As for March 7th and Xing, they were finally able to check into a hotel.

My heart was filled with excitement and exhilaration.

The four of them packed their luggage and arrived at their assigned compartment.

However, Himeko and Welt did not return to their room immediately, but instead went to a bar.

"Walter, shall we grab a drink first? Pinocchio's Sorida is really famous."

Himeko extended an invitation.

"...Speak up, perhaps we're thinking the same thing."

Walter pushed up his glasses.

The two had worked together for a long time and were well aware of each other's intentions.

Himeko would never suddenly have the idea of ​​drinking at a time like this; there must be something important on her mind.

really.

Himeko smiled slightly, gracefully walked to a booth at the bar and sat down, then said:

Do you remember the invitation the train received?

Walter crossed his arms and said without hesitation, "We cordially invite our distinguished guests to Pinocone to join us in this grand banquet."
