Pam said in a condescending tone, but he was indeed the boss on the train and had the authority to allocate various resources. Qiong was really curious about the reward he mentioned.
"Do you have a younger sister or an older sister?"
Qiong had already started fantasizing about Pam rewarding him with a bunny girl, although the possibility was very small, it didn't stop him from fantasizing about it.
"No, that's not it! The train conductor wants to give you the train's storage room to use as a room towel."
"Did I just hear the words 'storage room'? Train conductor, you can say whatever you want to me, there's no need to send me to sleep in the storage room."
Qiong's smile gradually faded. He wondered if he had offended the train conductor at some point. Could it be that he was caught stealing the limited-edition cotton candy that the conductor had kept in the refrigerator? But Xiao Sanyue had eaten some too, so they would both be sent to sleep in the storage room.
“What if I told you the storage room is ten times the size of a regular passenger room?” Pam said.
“I’m getting interested, continue.”
Qiong became a little curious. If he thought about it carefully, his room was already quite large now. If it were ten times bigger, he could do a lot more things in it.
"As I mentioned before, because more and more people are getting on your bus, and they are almost all looking for you, your room is becoming crowded. It doesn't seem necessary to arrange separate rooms for them. So, we'll just give you a big room where you can play games or have a party. There's plenty of space."
As the train conductor, Pam usually thinks about the passengers' living conditions when he has nothing to do. Now he thought of Qiong, and since Qiong had made great contributions, he naturally brought up this reward.
"So, conductor, what is the price?"
Qiong asked Pam in a deep voice, "His reward is indeed a storage room, but to make it a high-quality living room, it's definitely not that simple."
"As you know, the storage room is something I, the train conductor, will personally clean. And if you want to convert the storage room into a suitable room for you, you'll obviously need to buy a lot of furniture, and these..."
"Use your card however you like, swipe it as you please."
Qiong directly pulled out the rich woman's black card and handed it to Pam. Pam was speechless. She wanted to say that she would use the train fund to buy it, but seeing how confident Qiong was, she skipped that step.
"And there's my labor fee as a train conductor. The hourly wage isn't cheap, and since it can't be paid with credits, I'll use your labor to offset it."
What can I do for the train?
Qiong showed no resentment, and Pam must have made the suggestion for his own good, so he just needed to refuse everything.
"Just participate in the duty roster; in short, you're the train conductor's helper."
"No problem at all, I love being on duty."
"I knew you'd be a good passenger."
Pam's round hand and Qiong's palm clasped together, and the two hit it off immediately, leaving March 7, who had just boarded the bus, completely bewildered.
"Qiong boy, you've only been on the bus for a short time, and you've already changed rooms?"
March 7th complained that she loves pillow fights, but because her room is too small, she can't have a proper fight, and the dozens of pillows she bought are useless. She wants a bigger room too.
"This is a reward; you can't get it just by envying others."
Qiong said happily to March 7 that he realized he really needed a room like this, so that when he brought all his wives over, they would have a place to sleep together.
"You can go to Qiong's room anytime on March 7th. It can accommodate fifty people."
Pam told March 7 that March 7 was already imagining herself having a pillow fight in the dome room, and it actually sounded pretty cool, and she could even play some more exciting games.

Chapter 132 Pam Understands Too Well
"Qiong, you're back just in time. There's something I need you to do."
Himeko had finished talking to Robin and turned her gaze to Sora, her eyes filled with admiration. This boy had really won over Robin. Himeko was quite supportive of the marriage; the two were a perfect match in every way.
"Currently, the four major families besides Oak are doing their best to quell the aftermath of the incident. The train crew has also been invited to sit on the family's Huecho Stone as witnesses in an important meeting."
Himeko continued speaking to Sora, saying that the other family members were also pulled into the dream by Sunday, and in a sense, the Starry Sky Train was their savior, so of course they were greeted with smiles.
Who is the owner of the Huichangshi?
Qiong asked in confusion, because in his dream he was thinking about taking care of the robin and going on a date with the fireflies, and he had never heard of this.
"It's a huge airship, it's amazing! I heard it never appears in public, and only distinguished family guests are allowed to board it and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Pinocene."
March 7th couldn't wait to explain to Qiong. She had previously been quite critical of the dream, but now she was eager to try seeing the airship in the dream. Qiong didn't know how to complain about this girl.
“Miss Robin must have gone up there,” March 7th said to Robin again.
"No, I only recently returned to Pinocchio. When I left, it was still circling and flying in the sky of dreams."
The robin shook her head and said that she had been away from her hometown for a long time and was like a familiar stranger to Pinocchio.
"Then you must go and take a look this time."
March 7th didn't find anything unexpected and invited her over, meaning she actually meant to go up and have some fun. As for Himeko's important meeting, what did it have to do with March 7th?
"Well, I will."
Robin responded with a smile, saying that she was now the only heir of the Oak family. Because of her status as the Son of Harmony, the other families wouldn't make things difficult for her. They were all lackeys of Harmony, and since the leader of Destiny hadn't said anything about canceling Robin's status, what reason did they have to overstep their bounds?
"Then let's take a stroll on the Star Train before the talks begin. We can't just come out and immediately fall into a dream again. I've been soaking in the pool all this time lately, and I feel like I'm going to get soaked to death."
Qiong said to the robin that he didn't care when the talks would start, since the Star Train was just a witness anyway. As for who was talking to whom, wasn't it obvious that it was a family and a company? With Toppa and Sand Gold around, if the company's shareholding in Pinocchio fell below 50%, Qiong would write his name backwards.
"Star Core Mushroom?" March 7th remarked from the side.
"I'll feed you."
"I don't want it!"
Led by Pam, the group arrived at the front of the observation car. There was a staircase leading to the 1.5 level, as it was not actually the 2nd floor. There was a door there, and once opened, they could see a car that was the same size as the observation car.
"This is the party carriage."
Pam explained that a bar had been added to the center of the carriage, with a wide variety of drinks available, but there was no bartender in sight. Qiong had a strange feeling that Huang Quan and Black Swan would definitely like this place.
"Wait a minute, how come I don't know this place exists?"
Qiong interrupted Pam's introduction. He knew that the train had space compression technology and had been to the public men's bathroom, but he had no idea that there was a party carriage here.
“You’ve only been on the bus for a short time, Pam,” Pam said matter-of-factly.
"It's not short, is it? I was on the bus when I was born."
"Then you must have remembered it wrong."
Pam confidently stated that she hadn't brought everyone to play in the queue carriages. Instead, after entering, they turned a corner and went up a spiral staircase, which took them to a height of 2.5 floors. After opening the door, they found an empty warehouse with some open cardboard boxes and shelves. Perhaps because Pam cleaned it frequently, it was spotless and very spacious. It looked like there was enough room to play football.
"Ahem, listen up, passenger. The train conductor has decided to give you special treatment and build you a private bathroom here. This is a privilege that no one else has."
Pam walked to a large open space to the right of the room entrance, tapped the ground with her round feet, and said, "Although this is a storage room and doesn't look like it has water pipes, as long as you install good partitions and lay a layer of floor tiles, you can make a huge bathroom."
Qiong was already fantasizing about a wonderful future. The Starry Sky Train was great in every way, except that the bathrooms were all public. But now Pam was actually going to prepare a private bathroom for him. What did that mean? Of course, it meant the ever-present romantic bathing that was a must-have in any man's harem!
"Train conductor, you are my great benefactor."
Qiong rushed over and hugged Pam tightly, rubbing his cheek against its fluffy head. He didn't know if Pam really understood men or if he was just lucky to have guessed correctly, but a private bathroom was really important to him.
"Now you know how good the train conductor was to you, right?"
Pam said happily, knowing that Qiong would definitely like this place, and that it was worthwhile to have the idea of making use of the storage room.
"I feel like the whole world is favoring Qiong Xiaozi."
March 7th sighed helplessly, "Qiong is usually so abstract, yet there are always people who favor her. I think it's cute girls like her who deserve to be favored."
"Put a bed here, a wardrobe here, a snack corner here, and a multi-functional dining table in the middle. You can sit and drink drinks or have a meal here."
March 7th quickly helped Qiong with the arrangements, telling him what to prepare in the room. Qiong didn't think too much about it, feeling that having a bed was enough.
“This is my room, how did it become your design?” Qiong said.
"It's a waste for you to use this place all by yourself. I'll definitely come here often. The thirty-odd pillows I bought can finally come in handy."
March 7th said cheerfully, "Qiong's room is almost half the size of a sightseeing train carriage. It would be so much fun to run around and throw pillows here."
"If you want to enter my room, you have to become my wife first."
Qiong said unhappily, "This is the little house where he and his wives love each other. How did it turn into a playground for March 7th? To enter, you need to get a membership card and a marriage certificate."
"In your dreams!"
March 7 rolled her eyes at Qiong. Of course she knew that Qiong was trying to take advantage of her again. She could be his wife, but not in such a casual situation. She would definitely agree in a more serious setting.
After Chapter 133, it'll be my turn to worry.
"Sorry, the only seats here are cardboard boxes."
On March 7th, they brought over some cardboard boxes to use as chairs for the robins to sit on. They could have gone to the carriage to chat, but since Qiong didn't leave, they sat and chatted there instead.
"It's okay. I've been to many planets with harsh environments when I'm traveling."
Robin shook her head and said that she was not a pampered young lady. She had been to many desolate areas. Although the people around her took good care of her, she always kept her travels simple.
“I’ve heard your brother mention it; he also mentioned that you… had an accident.”
Qiong sat down next to the robin. Hearing the robin talk about the past, Qiong was also touched and patted her neck.
"It seems you two have a good relationship. I was planning to tell you about it in a while."
The robin was slightly surprised, but still smiled. She raised her hand and unhooked the purple choker around her neck, removing the ornament with gorgeous stars to reveal her slender, snow-white neck.
"Miss Robin..."
March 7th looked at the robin in surprise because, where the neck ring was covering, she saw a light-colored circular mark. It wasn't ugly, but it was very noticeable. The universe's repair technology could completely remove scars and wrinkles, but it couldn't completely cover up the marks.
“You’re Ah Qiong’s friend, it’s alright, it’s been a long time.”
Robin laughed and said that her injury was no secret, but out of a girl's love of beauty, she wore an elaborate neck ring to cover the wound caused by a stray bullet.
"I've heard that Miss Robin goes to war zones to perform. I thought those concerts were in safe places. Are you really going to a place where there are gunfire?"
March 7th covered her mouth and said that she had gained a deeper understanding of the robin. Her idol really did what he said and was really willing to risk his life for strangers.
"If it were just as you say, the people who could hear my songs might not be those suffering. Only by going into the most dangerous places can I convey harmony and inclusiveness, and I also hope that both sides can stop fighting."
The robin knew that many people, like March 7th, misunderstood her, but she didn't need to explain. If she needed everyone's approval for everything, she wouldn't have gotten to where she is today.
"The reason why I had to maintain the dream of Taiyi on Sundays was largely because I was afraid of losing you. Now that it's gone, I'm the one who has to worry about you."
Qiong held the robin's hand in her palm, and placed her other hand on her soft neck, touching the shocking mark. Now it was indeed just a mark, but Qiong dared not imagine what the wound would have looked like many years ago.
Now Qiong can understand how sad and scared she was when she learned of the robin's injury on Sunday.
"Little bird, I have a favor to ask. If you ever need to go to those dangerous war-torn regions, could you please let me know in advance? No matter where I am in the universe, I will come to your side. I really don't feel comfortable letting you take risks alone."
Qiong said very seriously to the robin that this was the only solution he could think of. As long as he protected it every step of the way, he could prevent such a thing from happening.
"Yes, I promise you."
The robin knew how much Qiong cared about him. Now she was not only living for herself and her brother, but also for her lover. How could the little bird bear to let him worry about her?
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Where is your Sister Yi? I haven't seen her in reality."
The robin changed the subject, saying that she always felt down when she encountered dangerous situations, so why not talk about the second girlfriend that Qiong met in Pinocchio?
"Well, actually, she's still illegally entering the country. If she comes to the hotel, she might be kicked out, and there's no Dream Pool she can use, so we'll just wait until we leave Pinocchio to meet her again."
Qiong said somewhat embarrassedly that Liu Ying actually did quite a lot in the dream. Her personality and temper were alright, but Sam was always burning everything down, and had already been listed as a first-level terrorist unit by the family.
"She's going to come with you? Isn't she a Star Core Hunter?"
The robin asked curiously, "Judging from what Qiong said, it seems that the firefly will also be boarding the train and traveling with him."
"Judging from what Liuying said, she seems to be on vacation right now. Not long ago, she went with my Uncle Ren to wipe out a major force. Even veterans need to rest, and she will leave when there is a mission."
Qiong had a smug smile on his face, but remembering that he hadn't even had a chance to get to know his new girlfriend, he quickly put on a serious expression and explained.
"I find it strange that you described Miss Liuying in such a relaxed tone as if she were terrifying."
On March 7th, seizing the opportunity, she made a sarcastic remark. She found it hard to imagine that such a gentle young lady as Liu Ying could wipe out a major force like crushing insects. Not to mention her, even Qiong found it hard to believe. It just goes to show that appearances can be deceiving.
"It seems like it's almost time, let's go to the hotel."
Qiong glanced at her phone and said, "Time always flies when we're chatting. It's almost time for the meeting. We need to enter the dream world first before we can reach that Huichangshi ship."
The group immediately set off, and the rest of the train crew also went to the hotel rooms. Huang Quan and Black Swan were not interested in this, and Qiong did not force them to come along. Instead of returning to his own or Huang Quan's rooms, he shamelessly followed Robin to the Dream Pool used by the family's internal personnel.
"This is against the rules."
The family staff were completely dumbfounded. It was the first time they had ever seen someone dream in the same pool as a robin, something they had never done even on Sundays.
"What's wrong with it? I'm a good person personally certified by Star God Hipe. What bad things could I possibly do?"
Qiong pointed to her face and said, making the family members even more numb. What Qiong said was indeed correct. Now that the Dream Master had disappeared, theoretically, whoever had the highest Harmony Power should become the leader. Right now, Pinocchio and the other two people with the highest Harmony Power were right in front of them.
"Please change my Dream Pool to a two-player program, thank you."
