Chapter 227
【Afterwards, she read out the relevant information she found one by one: "Astral Express, four Platinum guest rooms in total... they are Mr. Welt Yang, Ms. Himeko, Ms. March 7th, and..."】
【"... Mr. Following Dan Heng. There is indeed only reservation information for the above four."】
【Stelle waved her hand and said: "Yes, I am Mr. Following Dan Heng."】
Live Stream Room.
"Hahahahaha, Stelle has quite a sense of humor, but the Reverie Hotel's procedures won't pass just because of empty words."
"I understand now. When the invitation letter was sent, Stelle hadn't boarded the Astral Express yet, so that's why this blunder happened."
"Come to think of it, that might really be the case. But since Following Dan Heng didn't get off the train this time, wouldn't it be fine to let Stelle take Following Dan Heng's place?"
"Hehe, the person above is thinking too simply. As someone who has worked in related industries, I'm most afraid of encountering this situation."
The Astral Express crew watched the situation on the live stream and also reacted.
Welt Yang said: "This... I really didn't notice."
Following Dan Heng said calmly: "But this way, this problem should be properly resolved, right?"
Welt Yang nodded and said: "Hmm, Himeko said she would handle it."
【"Following Dan Heng..."】
【Welt Yang pondered: "... I understand, no wonder Stelle's name isn't here. When we replied to the Family, she hadn't boarded the train yet."】
【Welt Yang said to the front desk lady Aili: "Do you see if this works? Following Dan Heng, who was traveling with us, had a temporary change in plans and cannot check in. Could you please transfer the room reserved for Following Dan Heng to this child? The number of people matches."】
【Himeko also said: "This child is a new passenger on our Astral Express. We can vouch for her identity."】
【Front desk lady Aili looked troubled and said: "This, you suddenly say this, I'm afraid..."】
【Seeing this, Stelle took out her roaming visa and the Trailblazer's lance. Seeing this, Aili quickly said: "No, I don't doubt your identity, it's just..."】
【At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "It's just that, right now is the eve of the 【Charmony Festival】, the most important moment in every epoch for Penacony. And with the Family sending out invitations, guests from all over the galaxy have packed this place to the brim..."】
【"Hotel security is already struggling, and we can't afford any mistakes. Something like this happening suddenly isn't something this lady can decide—everyone from the Astral Express, don't make things difficult for her."】
【Everyone looked at the person who spoke and saw a handsome man with brilliant blonde hair and eyes shimmering with dreamy blue-purple brilliance walking forward.】
【He wore feather earrings, a string of black code printed on his neck, a fur-collared coat, a peacock blue shirt underneath, and a hollowed-out spade on his chest. Overall, he exuded an overbearing air of nobility, just like a, um... flamboyant little peacock.】
【Welt Yang said apologetically: "We encountered some problems while checking in. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. May I ask who this gentleman is?"】
【The handsome blonde man said: "I am 【Aventurine】, belonging to the IPC Strategic Investment Department, an expert in non-performing asset liquidation under 【Diamond】. I was invited by the 【Watchmaker】 to come this time..."】
【Speaking of this, Aventurine's gaze seemed to glance behind him and said: "At the same time, I am also a tourist who has been waiting behind you for a long time."】
【Hearing Aventurine's words, many people waiting in line behind the team also had a flash of impatience on their faces. Apparently, they had been waiting for quite a while too.】
Live Stream Room.
"This is... Aventurine?"
"That's right, I saw him at the concert before."
"However, I always feel that this Aventurine's personality doesn't seem very easy to get along with."
"A subordinate of the IPC's 【Diamond】, could he be one of the legendary 【Ten Stonehearts】?"
【Himeko signaled to Welt Yang and said: "... I'll handle it."】
【Afterwards, Himeko stepped forward, looked at Aventurine, and said: "I heard that the Interastral Peace Corporation also received an invitation from Penacony. I presume you are the representative. The IPC's temperament is truly extraordinary—such a remarkable big shot, could you please do us a favor?"】
【Aventurine said with a calm expression: "Did I hear that right—do you a favor? Shouldn't those words be said by me to you all?"】
【"I have been waiting here for more than ten minutes. Do you know how many credits ten minutes is worth to me?"】
Live Stream Room.
"Uh... although it is indeed because of the Astral Express crew in front that the procedures are stuck here, why are Aventurine's words so annoying?"
"I find it annoying too. People from the IPC seem to be very arrogant. It seems Aventurine is the same."
"Although Aventurine isn't wrong in terms of reason, why do I feel a bit indignant?"
【Himeko smiled and said: "It must be an astronomical figure, so now, Mr. Aventurine, I have an 【investment】 here that you cannot miss."】
【Listening to Himeko's words, Aventurine had his usual smile on his face and didn't speak, as if he was waiting for Himeko's follow-up. However, under his micro-expressions that few noticed, a look of anticipation and success flashed by.】
【Himeko continued: "The IPC's influence spans the universe, and its words naturally carry weight. We hope to use your identity—to vouch for her."】
【"In this way, you can not only save a lot of precious time but also make a group of new friends."】
【Aventurine raised an eyebrow and said with interest: "This is interesting. Then what can these friends bring me?"】
