Chapter 91
Silver Wolf pulled a small table over.
"Co on, co on! Those who need identity registration, line up here. You won't be scamd, and you won't lose money—just 100 star coins! Think of it as an investnt!"
Seeing this, Kiana took out 100 star coins and slapped them onto the small table in front of Silver Wolf.
"Give one! I want to go down and play!"
Silver Wolf grinned, happily pocketing the money.
"Alright, hold on a second. Look at the cara—click!"
A minute later, Kiana's identity was processed.
"Next!"
Seeing this, Zhongli instructed everyone from Liyue to line up for their identity cards. Not long after, Venti arrived with the citizens of Mondstadt. Upon hearing they needed identity registration, they, too, joined the queue.
Silver Wolf was beyond thrilled.
"Today is a good day. The beautiful star coins are rolling in~!"
anwhile, Hiko called Kevin and March 7th.
"Let's go check in first."
Just then, Kevin's phone rang.
"Kevin, where are you? Let's go play!" Kiana's voice chirped through the speaker.
Kevin was surprised.
"Kiana? Weren't you bringing your friends over?"
"Yeah~ Auntie and i said they'd co tomorrow. They're gathering special minerals to exchange for star coins."
After getting her ID card, Kiana had returned to St. Freya Academy, where she placed the store portal Yuri had given her in her living room. She told Theresa and the others they could now visit the store. Theresa, along with Bronya, Hiko, and i, decided to collect minerals to see if they could be exchanged for star coins.
Kiana tried to help but ended up making a ss of the sorted ores. Frustrated, Theresa sent her away—to find Kevin.
And so, she called.
Kevin sighed.
"Wait at the train station. I'll co get you."
He hung up.
"Hiko, March, I'm going back for Kiana. She'd definitely get lost."
March 7th perked up.
"I'll go too!"
Hiko nodded.
"Alright. I'll check in first, but hurry back."
Hiko and March 7th got off at the next stop and took a bus back to the train station.
An hour later, the three of them arrived at the hotel lobby.
Along the way, they underwent countless security inspections. Kiana nervously gripped her ID, fearing it would be exposed as fake.
Luckily, Silver Wolf's craftsmanship was impeccable, and no one noticed a thing.
When they reached the lobby, they saw Hiko and Welt negotiating with the hotel staff.
Kevin approached.
"Hiko, what's going on?"
Hiko sighed.
"We left Dan Heng's na on the reservation but forgot to update it. Now, we're trying to fix it."
Kevin frowned.
"What do we do now?"
The staff shook their head.
"We must ensure all registered guests match their identities."
Before Hiko could argue, a man dressed in opulent clothes, red sunglasses perched on his nose, and a string of codes around his neck, stepped forward.
Hiko turned to him.
"And who might you be?"
The man smiled.
"My na is Otto Apocalypse, from the company's strategic investnt departnt."
Of course, I am also a guest who waited for more than ten minutes behind you."
Kevin heard this.
"You are also in the Strategic Investnt Departnt? Do you know Jade and Topaz?"
Otto smiled.
"Of course I know them. They are my precious colleagues."
Kevin rubbed his hands.
"Hey, if I'm friends with them, then we're friends too, right?"
Otto raised an eyebrow.
"Friend? I like that word."
Kevin continued.
"Since we're friends, how about doing a favor?"
Otto imdiately understood what Kevin ant.
"My friend, you may not know that the Company and the Family are mortal enemies, right?"
Kevin was a little surprised.
"Ah? Is that so? Well, I won't bother you anymore. We'll find a solution ourselves."
As he turned to leave, Otto suddenly spoke.
"But there is a solution."
Kevin instantly turned back, winking.
"My friend, you deserve to be a director. Your way of doing things is unmatched."
Otto smiled.
"It's not impossible to help. The train crew is currently aligned with my camp. Isn't Topaz stationed on the train?"
"Alright, for Topaz and Jade's sake, I'll do you this favor."
Otto turned to the hotel staff.
"Miss, you heard our conversation just now. Please help them check in. I have an appointnt with Mr. Sunday of the Family. Don't worry, nothing will happen. These are honest and naless guests."
The staff, however, still refused, insisting on their responsibilities.
At that mont, a brother and sister approached.
"Ellie, Penacony is a place of beautiful dreams. How can we let our guests sleep with troubles? I will handle this matter. You can attend to other duties."
Otto turned to the newcors.
"Oh, just as I said. Isn't this Sunday, the most handso man in Penacony, and Miss Robin, the world-famous singer?"
Robin chuckled, covering her mouth.
"Brother, he said you are the most handso man in Penacony."
Sunday smiled.
"Robin, please take the guests to rest for a while. I have sothing important to discuss with this gentleman."
Robin nodded and led Hiko, Kevin, and the others to a nearby booth.
March 7th's eyes lit up in excitent.
"Are you Miss Mockingbird? I love your songs—especially 'The Song That Keeps a Heart from Sorrow.'"
"I'M A HUGE FAN CAN I HAVE AN AUTOGRAPH PLEASE" Kevin yelled out enthusiastically.
Robin chuckled sweetly.
"I didn't expect Miss March 7th to be my fan! Nor did I expect such a big fan out of you Mr.Kevin!"
March 7th and Kevin practically bounced in place.
"Can we take a picture together?"
Robin imdiately agreed.
"Of course."
March 7th and Kevin cheered.
"Great! Hiko could you take the picture!"
"No problem." Hiko imdiately agreed.
Shortly after, Sunday returned.
"Friends of the train crew, the dreaming arrangents have been settled. I wish you all a wonderful ti."
He then turned to Robin.
"Mockingbird, we should head back."
Robin smiled and waved.
"Have fun. Bye-bye."
Once they were gone, Welt caught Kevin, March 7th, and Kiana.
This ti, there were no more issues, and the group successfully checked in. Since Kiana joined later, she was assigned to Kevin's room.
Hiko clapped her hands.
"Alright, let's go put our luggage away."
Kevin, March 7th, and Kiana cheered and dashed off to their room, while Hiko and Welt followed at a more relaxed pace.
On the way to the VIP lounge, the three treasure hunters kept their eyes peeled for more treasure chests. Incredibly, they found several ordinary ones, each of them collecting 20 Stellar Jades.
Kevin and Kiana entered their room—only to find Otto already there.
Kevin blinked.
"Hey, friend, we et again so soon."
Kiana mimicked him, putting her hands on her hips.
"Hey, friend, we et again so soon."
Otto chuckled.
"Yes, nice to et you again so soon, my two friends."
Kevin frowned.
"What are you doing in my room?"
Otto shrugged.
"This room was mine half a system ago."
Kevin suddenly understood.
"You an you gave this room?"
Otto nodded.
"That's right. Otherwise, do you think the Family would be so generous as to provide you with a VIP room?"
Kiana tilted her head.
"You really don't like the Family, huh?"
Otto shook his head.
"Not personally, no. But the faction I belong to considers them a sworn enemy."
He then turned to Kevin.
"My friend, I did you a favor. Now, you should do one."
Kevin crossed his arms.
"Tell what you need first."
Otto leaned back.
"I want to investigate what the Family is up to. I'd like to share that information with you."
Kevin raised an eyebrow.
"Why co to ? Go find Hiko. Also, since you gave this room, I think you've forgotten sothing important."
Otto tilted his head.
"Forgot sothing?"
Kevin grinned and pulled out Stellar Jades.
"You do know how useful Stellar Jades are, right?"
Otto nodded.
"Of course. And?"
Kevin smirked.
"Then you should've noticed—Penacony is full of treasure chests. Instead of obsessing over the Family, wouldn't it be better to spend ti opening them? Yuri once said, if you're strong enough, no sche or conspiracy matters."
Otto took a deep breath.
Kevin had a point.
Yes! What a great opportunity to collect Stellar Jades!
As for the mission? No rush. Completing it would bring profits to the Company anyway. A bit of credit could always go to the Strategic Investnt Departnt later.
