Chapter 55

[This is.... it's that hacker girl!]

March 7th leans over to take a look,

and immediately recognizes the identity of this cartoon little girl,

it is Silver Wolf, a member of the Stellaron Hunters!

[Let's talk business.]

[I know you are all investigating the anomalies of Penacony everywhere. Rather, we are very happy to see this scene.]

[Because the deeper you investigate, the more likely you are to understand the truth of the beautiful dream.]

[The Family is hiding something, isn't it?]

[We also have first-hand intelligence.]

[Now, I have decided to generously share it with you all.]

[It's just a pity — the wonderful vacation is coming to an end.]

[Enter this code into your Dreampool, that is the device used for dreaming, and go to the hidden map to take a look!]

[The location coordinates have all been packaged for you, here, just copy with one click.]

[And — I suppose you have already heard about Sam.]

[Look forward to it, that guy has a simple personality and likes fair victories, he must be "compatible" with you.]

[I hope you won't be overwhelmed by his enthusiasm!]

[Oh, he asked me to tell you: In the dream that cannot be reached, the play is about to begin —]

[Come on, all parties are moving.]

[Nameless, don't fall too far behind!]

After Silver Wolf finishes saying these things,

the video ends.

[These Stellaron Hunters..... actually have layouts in Penacony too, they are truly persistent!]

March 7th says angrily after watching this video.

[The situation is very clear.]

[The Planet of Festivities is far from as simple as it looks on the surface. Centered around the Watchmaker's Legacy, a crowd of factions including the Family have their own purposes and check each other.]

[Although I don't know what this legacy is yet, this battle for it will affect innocent people..... it's only a matter of time.]

[Molten Knight Sam, it is said that this person is a remnant of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry, a congenital genetically modified warrior, with cognition different from ordinary people, acting decisively and leaving no room, is a dangerous person no less than Kafka and Blade.]

[This is a threat letter.]

[The hidden map in Silver Wolf's mouth must be the sealed Dream Hotel.]

[Considering the follow-up, we really need to visit the scene.]

Welt thinks for a while,

and expresses his current view.

[What if we get discovered......]

Stelle is a bit worried that if they enter the sealed Dream Hotel,

they will be discovered by the Family.

It will be hard to explain at that time.

[If the Family asks, just tell them truthfully that the Express crew is investigating the Stellaron Hunters, I believe we can get understanding.]

[Based on the other party's reaction, we will then take the next step.]

Welt has already thought of the excuse.

Therefore, he is not worried.

[It seems we have reached a consensus — then let's go back and notify Miss Black Swan.]

The next step of the plan has been confirmed,

Himeko starts taking everyone to look for Black Swan.

[Miss Black Swan, the Express crew is willing to cooperate with you.]

[In the Memory Zone, we need a suitable guide.]

Himeko brings everyone to Black Swan,

and gives her a clear answer.

[At your service, I won't let you down.]

Black Swan happily agrees.

[Stelle and March, go back to your respective rooms.]

[Prepare to enter the dream, if it goes smoothly..... we will meet in the lobby of the Dream Hotel.]

The matter is settled,

Himeko starts instructing Stelle and March 7th.

[I will stay in reality to ensure everyone's safety.]

[If necessary, I will also come forward to negotiate with the Family — no problem, Miss Black Swan?]

Welt still cannot trust Black Swan,

so he finds an excuse,

preparing to stay behind to monitor her.

It is also to provide a backup for the other members of the Express crew.

[It seems that even if I personally saved your companion, you all still find it hard to trust me......]

[Heh, of course no problem, it just hurts my feelings a little.]

Black Swan naturally sees Welt's distrust.

But she just smiles faintly,

and nods in agreement.

[I'll leave it to you, Welt.]

[As for us.....]

[Let's get ready to see the true face of the dream.]

Himeko nods to Welt.

Then she calls out to Stelle and March 7th,

and takes the two towards the hotel room.

[Looks like I'll be busy for a while, I wonder if Firefly has returned to reality.......]

[....No, I don't have her contact information. Let me ask Black Swan......]

On the way, Stelle's heart,

cannot help but think of Firefly's safety.

So she suddenly speeds up her pace, preparing to return to the room to ask Black Swan properly. ===== CHAPTER 135 =====

So she suddenly quickened her pace, preparing to return to her room to properly question Black Swan.

March 7th: "Good grief, I didn't expect the Stellaron Hunters to have a shadow here too!"

March 7th: "I said, can you guys stop being so persistent?"

Silver Wolf: "Look at how you put it."

Silver Wolf: "You're allowed to go to Penacony for a vacation, but we're not allowed to go for a stroll?"

Himeko: "But Miss Silver Wolf, your purpose isn't just for a stroll, right?"

Dan Heng: "What are you guys plotting again?"

Blade: "Heh, what does that have to do with you?"

Kafka: "Um... everyone. Why be so at daggers drawn."

Kafka: "You should know that our actions, generally speaking, won't be detrimental to you."

Kafka: "On the contrary... when you were stagnant, it was us, the Stellaron Hunters, who gave you a push, right?"

March 7th: "Who wants your push! That was clearly your malicious scheming, right?"

Welt: "The relationship between the Astral Express and the Stellaron Hunters has always been hostile."

Welt: "Therefore, your words are not worth trusting."

Silver Wolf: "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Silver Wolf: "At least, the you in the video still accepted my help, didn't you?"

Stelle: "Ahem, everyone, let's be harmonious and make money!"

March 7th: "Hey, Stelle, you guy, don't change the subject!"

March 7th: "Why do you always speak for the Stellaron Hunters?"

March 7th: "Are they your relatives?!"

Silver Wolf: "Tsk tsk, that's hard to say."

Stelle: "That, everyone, say less."

Stelle: "Watching the video is important, watching the video is important!"

Paimon: "Hehehe, I feel like Miss Stelle is so helpless right now."

Lumine: "I always feel like the relationship between them seems strange."

Furina: "Stellaron Hunters..."

Furina: "I remember it seemed to have been mentioned in the previous popular science video."

Furina: "It seems to be a very powerful and famous organization?"

Silver Wolf: "Hmm hmm! This Miss Furina, you have a good eye!"

Silver Wolf: "The great name of our Stellaron Hunters, not to mention being known by everyone in the universe, is also famous and deafening!"

Dr. Ratio: "Indeed, not only is the reputation deafening."

Dr. Ratio: "The bounty is even more deafening!"

Xiangling: "Bo... bounty?"

Xiangling: "Bountied by whom? Are they wanted criminals?"

Aventurine: "Of course, they are bountied by the IPC."

Aventurine: "The bounty on the few of them is an astronomical figure!"

Aventurine: "Take this Miss Kafka, for example."

Aventurine: "Her bounty in the IPC is as high as eleven digits!"

Aventurine: "This is an unimaginable amount of wealth!"

Topaz: "That's right, this money, if an ordinary person got it, they would immediately become a super-rich person."

Kaveh: "How much?!"

Kaveh: "Eleven digits?!?"

Kaveh: "Are you guys really not joking?!"

Silver Wolf: "What? You think this is too much?"

Silver Wolf: "I actually think this bounty is too low; it doesn't match our reputation at all."

Boothill: "Damn it, compared to you Stellaron Hunters, my bounty is ridiculously low!"

Furina: "Mr. Boothill actually has a bounty too?!"

Shenhe: "Curious to ask... how much?"

Boothill: "Can't compare to those Stellaron Hunters... it's just a few hundred million."

Hu Tao: "Just... a few hundred million??!"

Boothill: "Yeah, the worst of those Stellaron Hunters are in the billions."

Boothill: "That Kafka person has already reached over ten billion!"

Boothill: "My few hundred million, isn't that just a pittance?"

Zhongli: "Indeed... at first glance, a few hundred million would give people a sense of a huge amount."

Zhongli: "But from a general rational perspective, compared to billions or even tens of billions, it is indeed insignificant."

Paimon: "Here it comes, it's here again! Zhongli still has no concept of money as always!"

Lumine: "A few hundred million can't compare to billions, but that's still an unimaginable huge sum of money!!"

Lumine: "If I had a few hundred million Mora, I wouldn't have to worry for the rest of my life!"

Miss Ningguang: "That's right, a few hundred million Mora is not a small amount."

Hu Tao: "I said consultant, you don't even look at a few hundred million?"

Hu Tao: "Those who don't know would think you are the Rock Archon himself, capable of manufacturing Mora!"

Hu Tao: "But you don't even have a single cent in your own pocket! Eating, drinking, and playing are all on the public account!!"

Hu Tao: "The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's foundation is about to be played away by you!!"

Xiao: "...."

Cloud Retainer: "...."

Lumine: "Uh... do you think there's a possibility?"

Lumine: "That the Rock Archon himself also has no concept of Mora..."

Paimon: "It's even possible... that he has no Mora to spend!"

Hu Tao: "Ha? What nonsense are you spouting?"

Hu Tao: "The Rock Lord who manages wealth would have no Mora?"

Hu Tao: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!!"

Childe: "This is entirely possible!!"

Zhongli: "Indeed, from a general rational perspective, this possibility exists."

Venti: "Tsk tsk tsk, it seems I'm not the only one living frugally."

Diluc: "...."

The video continued.

After Stelle returned to her room,

she immediately walked to Black Swan, preparing to ask.

【You look very nervous, Stelle.】

【Are you worried about that little girl?】

【If you have something on your mind, feel free to confide in me.】

【There is no one in this world more suitable to be a psychotherapist than a Memokeeper.】

Black Swan didn't wait for Stelle to speak, and said first.

【Thank you for saving my life.】

Stelle looked at Black Swan, and said gratefully first.

【Heh, don't mention it, this is what I should do.】

【After all, you are very special... so special that many eyes are watching you.】

Black Swan smiled slightly.

【Um... can you confirm Firefly's safety?】

Stelle asked the question she urgently wanted to know.

【Rest assured, that is a one-way door that only leads to the waking reality.】

【Unless that girl has a strong will and refuses to wake up from the dream...】

【But... how is that possible?】

【She must be rubbing her eyes somewhere in the hotel right now.】

Black Swan explained.

【...Actually, to be honest, I don't really trust Memokeepers.】

After learning that Firefly should be fine, Stelle said somewhat hesitantly.

【It seems you have some unpleasant memories... but clearly, the upcoming cooperation is wise for you, for me, and for the Astral Express, right?】

【So you can rely on me with peace of mind.】

【Of course, I am not the only Memokeeper who came here — Penacony has publicly issued invitations to factions other than the Family for the first time, and the Garden wants to record this historic moment...】

【So you can also try to cooperate with others... as long as you can see them, heh.】

Black Swan couldn't help but tease Stelle.

【Alright, by the way, aren't you going back to your own room?】
