[Lumine: A dream world? I want to experience that!]
[Belle: Me too!]
[Kiana: How can there be something this fun without me, the Herrscher of Finality!]
[Stelle: Sorry, but we knew Victor might come, so when we checked into the hotel, Miss Himeko used some connections to get an extra spot. That spot was reserved for Victor.]
[Stelle: Even Dan Heng's little blue dragon had to stay on the train to guard it!]
[Kiana: Tsk, what a bummer.]
[Victor: Don't worry. You like to daydream so much that when Stelle becomes a shareholder of the Pinocchio Hotel, you can visit anytime.]
[Stelle: Wait, I become a major shareholder of Pinocchio in the future?]
[Victor: I wouldn't call it 'major,' but you do end up with a certain share.]
Thinking about this, Victor couldn't help but recall the scene later in the plot when Stelle learned she had five percent of Pinocchio's shares and immediately ran back to the hotel to show off.
Not only did this girl flaunt her newfound status, she was foolish enough to actually replace the exhausted lobby manager Dennis and become the hotel manager herself.
Dennis, who was completely worn out, was absolutely thrilled.
'There are still people willing to take my place these days!' he'd thought.
It was funny just thinking about it.
[Stelle: That's awesome! You know, Pinocchio's daily turnover is ridiculously high. Even if I only own one percent of the shares, I could instantly become the richest person in the universe!]
[Kiana: So you'll become a wealthy woman in the future? Don't forget about me when you're rich!]
[Tsunade: Envy makes people look hideous!]
[Stelle: Call me Boss Stelle! When I become rich, I'll definitely provide you all with delicious food and drinks!]
[Victor: Stelle, stop chattering. Haven't you exited the dream yet?]
[Stelle: I left ages ago. I'm rushing to the lobby right now. I can't let you just appear directly inside the hotel, right? If you're discovered, how should I explain it?]
[Victor: Okay, hurry up.]
[Shinoa: Is Pinocchio really that big? You're already in the Golden Core Realm and you can't teleport from the hotel room to the counter?]
[Stelle: It's not that big. The main thing is that the hotel has this broken rule that doesn't allow anyone to fly, become invisible, or teleport at will. If you're caught, you'll be disqualified from staying at the hotel. I can only run over there with my own two feet.]
[Stelle: Humph! When I become the majority shareholder here, I'll definitely change this broken rule so that only I and the people around me can fly, become invisible, and teleport at will!]
[Rin: Authority dog! But I like it!]
[Kurumi: Mr. Stelle is awesome! (broken voice)]
Another two minutes passed before Stelle finally reached the hotel lobby.
Victor also used the time-travel talisman to appear at Stelle's side as soon as possible.
"Baby, long time no see. Come here, give me a kiss, mua~!"
"Hey, aren't you embarrassed? There are so many people watching!" Although she said this, the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed Stelle's mood at the moment.
"Come on, I'll take you to check in."
Soon, under Stelle's guidance, Victor arrived at the lobby counter.
The person who received them was Dennis, the hotel's lobby manager.
"Hey Dennis, how have you been these past two days?"
Seeing that it was the unfamiliar passenger from the train, Dennis forced a smile onto his tired face.
"Don't mention it. Although there haven't been many customers recently, I feel more and more exhausted. I really want to take leave, but I don't want to have my salary deducted. It would be great if someone could take my shift."
"Oh, by the way, I remember you had already gone in. Why did you come out again?"
Stelle patted Victor on the shoulder. "I'm here to pick him up. He's the other guest we mentioned earlier who was staying with us. Since he hadn't arrived yet, he wasn't with us before."
Dennis nodded when he heard this. "Yeah, I remember. I think his name was Mr. Victor, right?"
Victor nodded. "That's right."
"Okay, here is your check-in card, please."
After getting Pinocchio's check-in card, Stelle took Victor to her room.
"Due to the special period, rooms are limited, so you can only share a room with me now."
Victor heard this and smiled mischievously. "Isn't this even better?"
If he had a choice, he would certainly prefer to stay in the same room with his own Stelle!
"Come on, I'll take you into the dream first."
As she spoke, Stelle took Victor's hand and led him to a huge bathtub.
"This is the device for entering Pinocchio's dream world, it's called the Dream Pool."
"Of course I know about it."
"That's right. You played the game, so I almost forgot."
"So what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
The two of them lay in the bathtub together. Their entire bodies were submerged in water, and in the end, only their faces remained exposed above the surface.
As Victor closed his eyes, he suddenly felt dizzy.
When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived at an extremely dreamy road.
In the distance stood a massive statue of the Clock Boy.
Victor recognized this place, it was called 'Clock Studios Square!'
It was a resting place for the citizens of Pinocchio's dream world.
It was also one of the most prosperous areas in the entire dreamscape.
"What a strange... world."
Victor looked around, his eyes full of curiosity.
Although he had played the game before, this was the first time he'd experienced it in person.
Just as he was about to expand his spiritual sense to scan the entire dream, he suddenly discovered that this dream was filled with chaotic yet orderly spiritual experiences.
These spiritual powers came from different people, the dream chasers who entered the dream.
"No wonder you don't dare to use your spiritual sense randomly. If you're not careful, you might turn everyone in Pinocchio's dream into an idiot."
The spiritual sense of a cultivator was usually the purest mental power.
When released, it generally didn't affect anyone.
But it was different at Pinocchio.
This place was filled with the spiritual power of every person who entered the dream.
Once his divine consciousness intertwined with these mental powers, the enormous power contained within it would instantly tear these mental powers apart, turning people into vegetables.
Helplessly, Victor could only give up on expanding his spiritual sense.
Although he could carefully avoid other people's mental power, it was too troublesome to do so.
Victor didn't like trouble.
"Let's go find Markh and meet up with her first."
As she spoke, Stelle took Victor's hand and ran in a certain direction.
A few minutes later, the two found Markh 7th at the "Golden Hour."
However, at this time, Markh seemed to be involved in some troublesome incident.
