Check it out: Patreon.com/ThatGreatStuff ****** Penacony. Hotel Lobby. The live broadcast from Interastral Peace News had just concluded. But the people on-site showed no signs of calming down. At the front desk. A crowd had gathered. Collectively voicing their grievances to the family's management! "Why can't we receive any content related to 'Honkai: Star Rail' after entering the Dreamscape?" "Damn the family! What have you done to my privacy?" "I came here on vacation specifically to enjoy 'Star Rail' with my friends in the Dreamscape, and now you're telling me the family has completely banned 'Star Rail'?" "The family must give us an explanation!" "Refund! Refund!" The manager at the front desk looked helpless and flustered. "Sorry, we're just following orders..." "This is a decision from above, there's nothing we can do!" Aventurine sat on the other side with his luggage. He had already checked in. He could have gone to his room to enter the Dreamscape at any time, but after learning about this situation, he wasn't in a hurry to do so. Instead, he watched the scene unfolding in the hotel lobby with interest. While sending a message to Topaz. [As expected, Penacony indeed has secrets unknown to the public.] [The family has completely banned 'Honkai: Star Rail.' Once you enter the Dreamscape, you won't be able to access the latest storyline released by Yu Ling in real-time.] [I'm still in the Hotel Lobby. Our next steps need to change.] [I need to discuss this with you in person. Where are you right now?] After sending these messages, Aventurine sat on the sofa. He leaned back lazily, pretending to relax, but in reality, he was observing the current state of the hotel. Behind his sunglasses, a sharp glint shone in his eyes. This hotel was considered one of the most luxurious in the entire universe. At the moment, it was bustling with people. Aventurine noticed both familiar and unfamiliar faces. Their gazes briefly met before parting. Clearly, these individuals were no ordinary guests! In the wake of Duke Inferno's attack and the family's complete ban on Honkai: Star Rail, many had begun to sense something subtle unfolding. They weren't in a hurry to enter the Dreamscape. Instead, they lingered in the hotel. Upstairs, tourists were gradually waking up from their dreams, taking the elevator down to the lobby. Combined with the noisy chatter at the front desk, The Reverie Hotel now had an undercurrent of tension! "This scene is even more fascinating than the Dreamscape…" Aventurine couldn't help but remark. Just then, he received a reply from Topaz. [I'm behind you.] Aventurine immediately stood up. He saw Topaz walking confidently toward him, escorted by several corporate security personnel. "That was quick?" Aventurine greeted her with a smile, inviting her to sit across from him. Without wasting time, he spoke openly: "You've seen the situation. It's chaos right now." "Entering the Dreamscape at this point clearly isn't the best choice." "I don't want to stumble around in the Dreamscape like a headless fly due to information gaps." Topaz took a sip of water. "Isn't this exactly what we wanted?" "Since the waters are already muddy, why not stir them up even more?" "Isn't snatching chestnuts from the fire your specialty?" Their conversation was crucial! It involved the company's plans for Penacony. Yet, neither of them hesitated. They spoke openly in this noisy environment. Because, both Aventurine and Topaz knew implicitly: Sometimes, the more openly you act in such public settings, the less attention you attract! The background noise and commotion served as the perfect cover! And indeed, the family's employees and managers were already overwhelmed, too busy to notice their conversation. Aventurine smiled faintly. "Since when did you understand me so well?" "So, how do we stir the waters further?" Topaz: "It's simple." "On my way here, I received a message." "It's a new video released by Yu Ling. According to intelligence analysis, it contains important information about Penacony." "I haven't had the chance to watch it yet. Let's do it here. I'll invite everyone to watch it together." Aventurine was taken aback. "Yu Ling released new information?" "How come I didn't know about it?" As he spoke, Aventurine specifically opened Yu Ling's official account. He refreshed it, but still, there was no notification about any new content from Yu Ling. Topaz explained, "The Family has already used certain means to restrict content related to Honkai: Star Rail." "It seems Penacony has been fully covered." "But it's fine." "After all, we're still in the real hotel, not the Dreamscape." "It's not their home turf." "Let this spark reignite into a blazing fire!" Topaz took out a company-patented terminal. She quickly operated on it. At that moment. All the large screens turned into the snowy static of No Signal. A piercing electric current sound rang out. Caught off guard, many guests felt a sudden discomfort in their teeth. Fortunately. Two seconds later. All the screens returned to normal. But the image that appeared. Left everyone stunned! Then, almost simultaneously, expressions of pleasant surprise emerged! Because. On the black screen. A logo of Honkai: Star Rail appeared. Just as everyone was guessing which short video Yu Ling had previously released. A melodious whistle sounded. Then. They saw. In this rhythmic music. The Trailblazer and a man dressed in luxurious attire appeared. The two began a dazzling dance together! Aventurine, who had been wearing a faint smile. Now. Had that smile frozen on his face! Because. The man dancing in the video was actually himself! For a moment, he was completely stunned! Beside him. Topaz teased, "Not bad, Aventurine!" "So you're the star of this video!" "Didn't you say someone like you would never appear in the storyline of Honkai: Star Rail? How did you end up as a dancer now?" "Gotta admit, you dance pretty well." Aventurine quickly took off his sunglasses. And watched carefully. Feeling a bit parched! Earlier in the Dreamscape. Although Yu Ling had hinted that he would have a chance to appear. He never expected it to be in this way! After the initial shock. Aventurine gradually began to accept it. This was his first official appearance in Yu Ling's work. He had to savor it properly! The curve of his lips returned. "As expected of Yu Ling, look at these moves, so smooth and dashing!" "Seems like I'll have to find time to learn this dance properly later." Topaz scoffed, "Just one video and you're already this smug. If you really get made into a playable character, you'd probably be insufferable!" As Sleepless Night played. Everyone in the Hotel Lobby turned their eyes to the screen! Gasps of astonishment echoed throughout the room! "It's Yu Ling's latest work!" "Why didn't I receive any notification?" "Did Yu Ling choose to debut this video in Penacony?" "Never mind that, let's just watch it first!" Meanwhile, backstage at the hotel. Several Bloodhounds from the families were sweating profusely! They tried to control the large screen, but it was unresponsive. A voice of interrogation came through their earpieces. "What's going on!" "Who played the video about Honkai: Star Rail!?" "Don't you know that blocking Honkai: Star Rail was Dreammaster's decision? Turn it off immediately!" "We're trying, but... we can't turn it off!" "It's over! It's too late..." "The system seems to have been remotely hacked!" In the Hotel Lobby. Most visitors were unaware. The appearance of this video was a clash between the company and the families. Soon, everyone was immersed in the dynamic music. When Robin and Sunday appeared. Not just the visitors. Even the hotel managers were momentarily stunned! "Miss Robin and Mr. Sunday are here too?" "This..." "Should we still intervene?" "Never mind, let's just watch along!" In a corner of the hotel. A young girl was sneaking around the corridors. Realizing that there were no hotel security or family Bloodhounds around. She scratched her head in confusion. "What's going on..." "The script said there would be a chase before I smuggled into the Dreamscape." Just as she was thinking this. A message suddenly popped up on her phone. [Silver Wolf: The script is invalid. Yu Ling has released a new video. You need to find a way to watch its content as soon as possible.] [The families have initiated an interception of Honkai: Star Rail related information flow in Penacony. You shouldn't be receiving any related messages.] [It's fine, wait for me. I'll help you.] Firefly was momentarily stunned. She instinctively took a few steps forward. As she turned the corner. She saw a display screen in the corridor. Originally, it was supposed to play some Penacony advertisements, but now it was showing a Honkai: Star Rail video! After watching for a few seconds. A look of realization dawned on Firefly's face! "Yes, this is it!" "Silver Wolf, it seems someone acted faster than you!"
