The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"I actually used up all my annual leave just to come here. Master Taibu thought I was visiting Zhu Ming Xianzhou, and he definitely didn't realize I was actually invited to visit Pinocchio... hehe."

Qingque chuckled.

"So it's New Year's holiday... Xing almost thought Qingque had already slacked off and found Pinocchio."

“Invited, by whom?”

"If it's the watchmaker... then she's too late."

"I don't know who it was, but I still have the message inviting me here. Do you want to see it? I'll show you a glimpse." Qingque pulled up the message and showed Xing the personal omen.

"The letter said—"

"'Four-foot Sanctuary' is now open for membership. We sincerely invite all qualified guests from across the galaxy to join us and explore the magnificent world of dreams."

"As long as you are 141.5cm or shorter, you can stay at the Daydream Hotel with this invitation. We will reimburse all your travel and accommodation expenses."

"The Four-Foot Sanctuary awaits your arrival and wishes you a relaxing, enjoyable, and meaningful journey!"

"The Four-Foot Sanctuary...isn't this just a gathering for dwarfs?"

Cao Cao instantly felt excited.

There are actually people in this world who are shorter than him?! Hahahaha!

He was short and had a very low self-esteem. Even when he met with the Hun envoys, he was worried that he was ugly and short and would be laughed at by the Huns.

He asked Cui Yan to pretend to be him, while he himself held a steel knife and stood beside Cui Yan as a guard.

But I didn't expect... there would be a four-foot-high church gathering here! Hahahaha!

He is seven feet tall (about 1 to 1 meters), but he feels that he is too short.

These guys were four feet...almost half as short as him!

He will never waste time again!

Who said he was short? He's so tall!

However, since it is a four-foot holy temple, why should Qingque be invited?

He felt that Qingque was not too short, right?

Just a little shorter than him.

Cheng Yu, who was eight feet three inches tall (about 1.94 meters), gave Cao Cao a strange look, wondering what right his lord had to laugh at other short people's gatherings...

Of course, he only dared to think about this in his mind.

So, if you don’t have enough nutrition, you really won’t grow tall. Fortunately, he has a secret snack that can supplement nutrition.

…………

"How's that? Isn't it great? As long as you meet the requirements, the room fee is completely free." Qingque was very excited: "I carefully measured my height before coming here - 141.2 in the morning and 140.3 in the evening, absolutely perfect!"

(After sleeping at night, the spine relaxes, so your height will be higher when measured in the morning.)

"This is discrimination against tall people!" Xing was outraged. She also wanted to waive the room fee!"

"...Wait, it seems she's already waived her room fee. That's fine then."

"Uh... tall people already have a lot of advantages, so why don't you just stop worrying about this?" Qingque complained. "Anyway, um... I'll just consider this a deal. Don't tell Master Taibu about my time at Pinocchio! As long as you keep your promise, I'll give you a third of the credits I win!"

"It's not enough. You need more money." Xing is greedy.

"Oh my, you're so greedy, my dear sister... Fine, I'll add it, I'll give you half!" In order to have a good vacation, Qingque was also willing to go all out: "Okay, okay, no more words, vacation time is very precious, please help me check in."

"Luckily, Jadeite, Gold Sand, and Topa had taught her how to use the machine before. This time, she only spent five or six minutes to successfully help Qingque complete the check-in procedures."

"This check-in procedure is really complicated..." Qingque thought it was already that troublesome, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's worthy of being a tourist destination in the galaxy. Thank you, Xing!"

"I don't know why you're working as a lobby manager at a hotel, but I don't want to ask any more questions now. Vacation time is precious, don't waste it on such idle chatter. See you later, sister! Remember to keep your promise!"

"After saying that, Qingque ran away in a flash."

"She really came here to play cards... Speaking of which, even in Pinocchio, people play Diyuan Qiongyu? That game is so famous? It's a pity we don't have it here."

Li Qingzhao felt itchy and wanted to try Diyuan Qiongyu, but there was really no other way...so she decided to go play horse racing!

She always likes to play horse racing.

…………

"After she left, Xing returned to his seat and began his boring wait."

"After a while, she saw a group of people taking pictures of one person in the middle."

"Through the crowd, I could vaguely make out a robin."

"Is she in trouble? Well, it's time for the lobby manager to step in and maintain order!"

"She jogged over, and just as she was getting close, she was stopped by a security guard: 'Stop! What are you doing? I'm warning you, don't go any further!'"

“I’m the lobby manager of the hotel.”

"What kind of lobby manager would dress like that? Back off!"

"Ah, Star...Freddy, it's okay. This lady is my friend. Please let her come over." Mockingbird's tone was as gentle as ever.

"Ah... I see. My apologies, ma'am." The security officer was embarrassed and quickly stepped away.

"Mockingbird took Star aside."

"Please don't mind, Xing. Freddy is new here, so it's natural that he's a little nervous in situations like this. I don't want to put him in a difficult position."

"I had been planning on spending some time chatting with everyone on the Star Express aboard the Pyrite, but that bombing incident disrupted everything."

"Thankfully, no one was hurt in the end... I'm sorry, I wasn't in good shape and the hospitality wasn't good enough. I hope you don't mind."

"Mockingbird apologized."

"Are you feeling okay now?" Xing asked with concern.

"I've adjusted myself. Thank you for your sincere concern." The smile on Robin's face didn't reveal anything, but Xing could still vaguely see her sadness.

"Xing: "Although I don't have any brothers or sisters, I still understand how you feel."

"I believe you. Xing, you have a strong sense of empathy, and you can empathize with others even without relying on the power of attunement."

Mockingbird nodded, then turned to look at the tall building of the Daydream Hotel not far away.

"Pinocone... Every time I return here, I feel a mixture of emotions. The twelve hours of my dreams are like a never-ending stage, where the performance never stops, just like a person's heartbeat never stops."

“No matter who is lost, the party will go on. The efforts, tears and price we pay for this world will eventually be drowned by people’s greed for revelry.”
