Chapter 231

"And since the invitation letter was sent, why use a secret code to hide it? Is it to prevent some people or forces from noticing?"

"And what is the 【Watchmaker's】 legacy?"

"The Watchmaker is a legendary figure in Penacony, a well-known tycoon. He worked hard with his own hands to build a career that everyone yearned for, becoming a symbol of Penacony's dreams."

"Is he that experienced? It seems that the legacy of this big shot must also be an extremely precious treasure."

Divination Commission.

Jing Yuan watched the plot on the live stream and pondered quietly. Suddenly, he smiled softly: "There are more and more doubts. The water in this Penacony is really bottomless."

Yanqing asked curiously: "General, did you discover something?"

Jing Yuan shook his head: "It's too early to say what I discovered, but it's not like I gained nothing. Let's keep watching."

【In the live stream, Welt Yang asked: "When did you discover it?"】

【"When you were dealing with the Luo Fu Stellaron, I told Pom-Pom immediately," Himeko said.】

【Welt Yang understood at this time: "No wonder you asked to come forward just now. That IPC envoy also said the name 【Watchmaker】. I'm afraid the invitation letter he received also had a similar secret code—and it was also deciphered."】

【"... There is another thing that concerns me. When mentioning the invitation letter, that Family decision-maker responded like this: 【As the actual managers of Penacony, the Family should naturally solve your problems】."】

【"Hearing it now, these words have some hidden meaning. And Miss Robin beside him... although I don't understand singing, I can also hear the strangeness in her voice—how could the voice of a singer about to perform on stage reveal a hint of strangeness?"】

【Himeko understood Welt Yang's meaning and said the guess in his heart: "You suspect that the Family is not the sender of the invitation letter, and—is hiding something from us?"】

"What? The invitation letter wasn't sent by the Family?"

"This is a bit strange. If it wasn't an invitation sent by the Family, they could have rejected the guests who came to Penacony with this invitation letter, but they don't seem to care about this point."

"Then the question is, who sent the invitation letter? Currently, it seems that people from the IPC and the Astral Express have come. Maybe other forces will come later. Are so many forces gathered in Penacony just to compete for the Watchmaker's legacy?"

"I think it's more likely that some trouble will be caused, not to mention the strange relationship between the IPC and Penacony."

"Speaking of which, is this a treasure hunt game next? Forces from all sides in the universe chasing the Watchmaker's legacy, fighting wits and courage on the stage of Penacony?"

"Sounds interesting, but it shouldn't be that simple, right?"

"And Miss Robin, I thought I heard it wrong before. Confirmed by Mr. Welt, Miss Robin's voice really has a problem."

"This must also be a big trouble for Miss Robin who is about to perform at the 【Charmony Festival】!"

【Listening to Himeko's words, Welt Yang said: "It's not impossible. The Family sending invitations to other factions is an unusual thing in itself. Your discovery also confirms that a third party may be involved... I take back my previous words, this grand event is not simple."】

【After a slight emotion, Welt Yang looked at Himeko curiously and said: "Why not tell the children?"】

【Himeko explained: "If this is just an internal affair of Penacony or the Family, we should not interfere at will."】

【Welt Yang asked: "But you also said that this matter might be related to 【Trailblazing】."】

【Himeko smiled and looked at March 7th and Stelle walking from the side, saying: "I did say that, so..."】

【"... So before setting off, I told little March and Following Dan Heng."】

【A flash of doubt and shock crossed Stelle's face, and then she looked at March 7th, who was smiling foolishly while scratching her head, and smiled helplessly.】

【Welt Yang was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "So only I was kept in the dark."】

【Stelle also scratched her head and smiled: "I just found out about the invitation letter too..."】

【March 7th looked at Stelle and said in a tone like she was acting like a spoiled child: "Because you were sleeping soundly the whole way, there was no chance to tell you."】

【Himeko smiled, then said sternly: "Which party sent the invitation letter, what is the purpose of summoning a crowd of factions to Penacony, and why does the Family know but not speak... There are many doubts about this trip. Before finding out more facts, we must not act rashly."】

【After pointing out the key points to pay attention to, Himeko relaxed her tone and said: "For now, let's focus on the conductor's request, collect information while enjoying a 【wonderful vacation】—after all, Penacony is a world-renowned resort, and many people may never be able to come in their lifetime."】

Live Stream Room.

"Haha, Miss Himeko is right. Anyway, since we have arrived in Penacony, enjoying the sweet dream while doing business is the way to make the trip worthwhile."

"I can't wait to see what Penacony's dreamscape looks like."

"It definitely won't let us down, right?"

"The real hotel is already so luxurious, I can't imagine what the dreamscape looks like."

【After separating from everyone, Stelle also headed to her room. However, when she reached the door, she found that her room door was open for no reason.】

【(Strange... why is my room door open?)】

【(Huh, he is...)】

【Stelle was curious and walked into the room, only to see a back figure she had interacted with not long ago—Aventurine.】

【Stelle stepped forward sternly, only to see Aventurine slowly turn around and say: "What a coincidence, we meet again."】

Live Stream Room.

"Uh... this shouldn't be explained by coincidence, right? Isn't he waiting directly in someone else's room?"

"Speaking of which, is there a problem with breaking into someone else's room like this?"

"People from the IPC, they have never been polite."

【Stelle wondered: "This is my room, why are you here?"】

【Aventurine smiled, seeming to see through Stelle's nervous confusion, and said: "Don't be nervous, I just came to share some good luck. It is your room now, but half a system hour ago—it was still mine."】

【"Lucky building number, lucky floor, lucky room number. I spent a lot of effort to book this treasure land... I'll give it to you, cherish it, friend."】

【Aventurine's tone carried a hint of reluctance and generous relief, as if he had given up some important item.】

【But wasn't it said earlier that it was the room type Sunday upgraded for everyone?】

【Stelle was even more confused: "You gave this room to me?"】

【Aventurine said as a matter of course: "Otherwise? Could it be given for free by the Family?"】

【Aventurine looked around the room and sighed: "This Penacony is a real dream land. How many people in the galaxy are willing to spend half their lives just to get a ticket to the Reverie Hotel?"】

【Aventurine looked at Stelle, his words became sharp, and he said with hidden meaning: "Think about it, what kind of people can stay here. If I hadn't made plans, how would the Family dare to offend those celebrities and big shots to open a back door for you, this 【uninvited guest】?"】

Live Stream Room.

"This guy, is his attitude too annoying?"

"Compared to Stelle, Aventurine, as an IPC representative, is more like an uninvited guest to the people of Penacony!"

"And wasn't it Sunday who took the initiative to upgrade the room for the Astral Express crew earlier? How is it all Aventurine's credit?"

"The IPC has always been like this, a group of guys wearing hypocritical coats."

Where the Astral Express crew is located.

March 7th said indignantly: "What the heck, what does this guy mean? Did he run in front of Stelle just to say these things?"

Following Dan Heng frowned and said: "No, judging from Aventurine's personality when he contacted the front desk, he is definitely not a person who acts on impulse. On the contrary, he is a businessman who is constantly earning more benefits for himself."】

Welt Yang said in a deep voice: "Aventurine's purpose is more than that. From what he started saying, it seems he wants to place himself in the position of Stelle's benefactor."】

"Whether it's giving the room or persuading the Family, these are temporarily unknown, but when spoken from Aventurine's mouth, it sounds as if it were true."】

"As long as Stelle keeps this in mind, then Aventurine can propose his purpose as a benefactor. At that time, even if Stelle is unwilling, I'm afraid she won't refuse immediately, and there will be room for maneuver."】

Following Dan Heng nodded slightly and said: "And, the so-called favor, whether it is true or false is unknown. After all, Stelle cannot verify it with the Family immediately."】

March 7th said angrily: "This guy has a good-looking appearance, but his mouth says friend, and his heart is full of calculations."】

"But it really came true for you, Mr. Yang. Aventurine really found Stelle."】

【Just as Welt Yang and others speculated, in the live stream, Aventurine looked at Stelle, suddenly revealed a smile, walked to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down: "So let's sit down and talk—in terms of reason and emotion, I have this qualification, don't I?"】

【Stelle also calmed down at this time, looked at Aventurine, and said sternly: "You should look for Himeko, or Welt."】

【After all, in the past, external communication has always been discussed by them.】

【However, Aventurine shook his head, stared at Stelle, and said sternly: "Wrong, the person I want to find is you."】

【Immediately, only hearing Aventurine slow down his tone, he said leisurely: "Simply put, friend, I need your help. You may not know yet, Penacony is far from as simple as it looks. The Family's eyes and ears are all over here. I don't want to say it clearly, you understand."】

【"My purpose is very simple, help the IPC get back some things that belong to it. If you are willing to help me, after it is done, you will get generous rewards, and the protection of 【Preservation】."】

【"After all, you are different from others. You are very special, special enough to overturn the entire card table. That *power*, don't you want to use it? Or... don't you want to get rid of it? Don't you want to be famous in the universe because of it?"】

【Aventurine's voice carried a seductive meaning, listing the various desires that ordinary people expect one by one: "That power that everyone fears but craves is in your hands..."】

【"... Miss 【Stellaron】, did I say it right?"】

【Hearing this, Stelle blurted out subconsciously: "How did you know?"】

【Aventurine revealed a look of understanding on his face and said calmly: "I know now."】

"This guy, is he fishing for words?"

"You must be careful when dealing with such people. If you are not careful, you will be led by the nose."

"Holy crap, does that mean Aventurine is trying to pay attention to the Stellaron in Stelle's body?!"

"Good guy, dare to touch the Stellaron, are you not afraid of death?"

"I think the main reason is not this, but his true purpose, 【things that should belong to the IPC】."

"And regarding things that belong to the IPC, does it refer to the former frontier prison, now Penacony?!"
