Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 230 A Dream Bubble

While Sand Gold was pondering how to handle the company's tasks, Star had already entered a dream.

Yun stared at his invitation, remaining silent.

Who is it? Should we just copy the answer?

After a while...

"It's boring."

Yun tossed the music box, which served as an invitation, aside, stood up, and walked toward the Dream Pool.

Anyway, it will naturally unravel when the time comes, so there's no need to worry about it anymore. Just let it go, and you won't care if you can't see it anymore.

Yun lay down in the Dream Pool and took a deep breath.

Accompanied by soft music and gentle voices, he recalled those wonderful and joyful things. As the bells rang, his consciousness slowly sank into that dreamland—

After a strong feeling of weightlessness, Yunzhi opened her eyes.

He was sitting on a bench in front of the Daydream Hotel, which in his dream was off-limits to people, supposedly because... it was under renovation?

—And here, is the golden moment.

One of the twelve dreamscapes of Pinocchio, a decadent and intoxicating place.

Here, bustling crowds come and go in shopping malls and other places, spending money like water, moving among magnificent skyscrapers, and dancing in ballrooms—

Not far away, Pinocchio's famous landmark—the Grand Theatre—was glowing softly with blue light, playing "Hymn of Harmony" for the dream world.

What was once the Central Prison is now a grand theater.

It is said that the "Qi Xiang Choir," which embodies the concept of "harmony," will descend upon the site during the Harmonious Music Festival.

Looking at the grand theater from afar, Yun Zhi resisted the urge to shoot it down with an arrow.

At least for now, the star core seems to be relatively stable?

Hmm, I think I'd better not watch it.

Yunzhi turned around and chose to go to the nearby Otti Shopping Center first—to buy some gifts for her friends.

money?

That's not a problem.

To be honest... Yunzhi still doesn't really feel like "this is a dream".

Compared to a dream world, Yunzhi felt that this place was more like a real VR experience where many people could play together.

The wealthy and celebrities spend lavishly here, using their spirit and lives to nourish this cannibalistic land of dreams.

Therefore, Sand Gold's task is to reclaim Pinocone for the company and reintegrate it into the company's equity structure. So, his first task is undoubtedly to find a way to minimize the family's prestige.

So how do we do it?

—All you need to do is prove to the visitors that "death exists in dreams."

This is the best method Yunzhi can think of. As for how to prove it? That depends on how Sand Gold plans to play.

From afar, you can see the famous Pinocchio beverage "Solada" spraying golden liquid—that's the headquarters of Solada.

Looking up, you can still see Liumeng Reef.

However, how many people look up at the sky in their dreams?

During this golden hour, everyone is indulging in a pre-midnight celebration.

Although it wasn't mentioned in their own invitation, the invitation that Himeko and the others received contained this sentence: "To witness the impossible in dreams, to find the legacy of the father of Pinocchio, the 'Watchmaker,' and then to answer the question: Why does life sleep?"

Why can birds fly?

When Yun heard Himeko say those words, he couldn't help but think of another question from Honkai Impact 3.

Why does life fall asleep?

Because if you don't sleep, you'll die, okay? This is just a health issue, okay?

Impossible things in dreams?

In Yunzhi's view, the only impossible thing in a dream is for the beautiful dream to become reality.

Yunzhi understood this during his more than four hundred years of imprisonment.

When the Star Train crew entered Pinocchio, they encountered the head of a certain family line and the famous singer Robin, and also had conversations with Sand Gold.

Is life peaceful and serene?

Don't make trouble.

If we want peace and tranquility, wouldn't it be better if this place were completely "quiet"?

It's a mess.

Passing by a small shop, Yunzhi bought a bottle of "Dream Syrup".

Take a sip.

It was so sweet it almost made my teeth fall out.

Yun threw the bottle back into her backpack and continued walking towards the shopping center.

In this den of extravagance, countless VIPs squander their money every day.

The most famous of them all is undoubtedly the "Dream Shop" downstairs.

When Yunzhi arrived at this so-called "most popular store" following the travel map, she looked up and saw...

—A big eyeball?

Yun Zhi walked forward curiously:

"Hello—Dr. Edward?"

Yun confirmed the name on the map.

The big eyes moved and looked at Yunzhi.

"Hello, True Lord."

Unsurprisingly, everyone in the universe calls Yun Zhi the True Lord, and even if this is a machine, its programming should still be like this.

"Welcome to the Dream Shop. How may I help you? Dr. Edward will be happy to assist you."

Dr. Edward's magnetic, synthesized voice rang in my ears.

Yunzhi thought about it carefully.

—Hmm…Most of the dream bubbles here are donated by others. Yun is knowledgeable and doesn’t find it interesting to look at other people’s dream bubbles.

Why not just donate your dream here?

Anyway, according to the travel guide, Dr. Edward also collects people's dreams.

That being the case...

"I have a dream that I want to sell to you."

"Oh? If it's a very interesting dream, I'm willing to pay a high price to buy it."

Dr. Edward gave a very methodical answer.

Yunzhi revealed Anya's smile.

Don't worry.

He said.

"It must be very interesting."

----------------

Meanwhile, Xingzai, who had been asleep for a long time, reported to March 7th that she was safe after experiencing a weightless fall from a great height that left a crater in the square.

They went to different dreams, but Yunzhi hadn't spoken yet.

But don't worry about him. If Yunzhi can't solve it, then probably no one else can.

March 7th, like a star, recommended "Dream Shop".

Xing decided to go and take a look.

On the way, we even encountered a few strange talking GG cards.

One can only marvel at Pinocchio; you really can have anything in your dreams.

Then, she obtained a dream bubble from that big-eyed Dr. Edward, which was said to contain the dream of Archivist, the god of pioneers.

expensive.

Fortunately, Yunzhi paid the money, and she could afford it.

Then, she rescued a girl named "Firefly"—for some reason, Xing always felt a sense of closeness when she saw Firefly.

Firefly claims to be an artist from the Iris family. She takes Xing on a tour of "Golden Hour" and is a very good director. She treats Xing to cake and takes her to Edion Park.

We ran into... well, Sambo, along the way.

It was fireflies who first noticed that someone had been following them.

It turned out that the person following them was Uncle Sambo, whom they had met in Pinocchio.

then……

Xing inexplicably followed Sangbo to play so-called "adult" entertainment.

Pinball machine, Hanu Brothers...

Xing has to admit, they're all great.

Especially the Hanu brothers, from their perspective you can see many different things.

However, in the end, Sambo took her to Dr. Edward at the Dream Shop.

"Hi, Dr. Edward, I want to let my friends experience something... fun, you know."

Upon hearing Sangbo's words, Liuying's expression changed.

—Are you trying to lead people astray...?

"Of course, Dr. Edward welcomes thrill-seeking guests—hmm, would you like to see the Dream Bubble that True Lord just gifted you? That would be very interesting."

"Huh? Zhi?"

Xing blinked: "He's also at his golden moment?"

Dr. Edward's large eyes looked at Xing: "Yes, but the True Lord has already entered the Aude Shopping Center. How about it, would you like to experience the dream bubble left behind by the True Lord?"

Before Sangbo could speak, Xing immediately nodded repeatedly:

"Of course, of course! I really want to see what Zhi's dreams are like."

Perhaps I'll be able to personally experience the glory of the First Envoy.

Xing happily accepted this dream bubble.

They couldn't stop them even if they tried.

Sangbo sighed in disappointment: "Alright, then let Lord Zhenjun's Dream Bubble go first."

And Xing has already entered the dream bubble—

Xing opened her eyes.

Before me was a somewhat rotten wooden door.

A bright red flower hangs on the door.

The couplet reads, "A fine man and a fine woman, a perfect match; an auspicious day, an auspicious time, a perfect couple."

The horizontal scroll reads "A Perfect Match".

The words "Perfect Match" are also pasted on the gate.

Well?

I remember now, Zhi also seemed to have a very precious jade pendant.

Could it be...?

Wow, Zhi is really open-minded.

Xing chuckled, seemingly lost in thought.

Just then, Dr. Edward's voice rang in my ears—

"My name is Ning Zifu."

"I have come here to marry the woman I was betrothed to since childhood."
