Chapter 100: The Ritual of Three Questions
“I just got a bit lucky, and happened to buy it when I ran into it in the upgrade options.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say, everyone has secrets.”
Monroe Gina held her Staff-Sword in her arms, taking down the spinning Ritual Card on the tip of the sword and playing with it lightly.
“I’m in a good mood today, meeting such an interesting junior like you, hehe~ Although I can’t give you anything, you must still be unclear about many things right now.”
She extended three fingers.
“Three questions, I will give you the answers to three questions, and as it happens, it can help me complete a ritual. Remember, don’t make them too troublesome questions, oh~”
“A ritual?”
“Rest assured, it’s harmless to you.”

[Ritual Card: Three Questions]
[Three Questions: Your Three Doubts Are Answered]
[Ritual: Your Three Answers Are Rewarded]
“Answering your three questions can get you some Train Coins, better than nothing~ card sequence, very interesting, right?”
Similar to that dragon card?
But a bit more troublesome.
After all, his dragon card could get Train Coins for free without any cost or effort.
Questions, indeed there were, and many of them, but if there were only three…
After pondering for a moment, Ye Qiyan finally asked:
“What is going on with those corrupted children? Are they not humans?”
“This is precisely one of the reasons why I organized this event.”
The Staff-Sword flipped, and the tip of the sword pointed straight down to the ground.
“That Charlatan probably didn’t tell you what this event is actually for, right?”
“No, she only told me to come over, and didn’t say what she wanted me to do.”
“It’s very much the style of that disgusting Charlatan—making people come without saying what to do, just saying it’s fine as long as you come. Hmph, disgusting.”
Monroe Gina gave a disdainful soft huff and returned to the main topic.
“At the very bottom of this city is sealed a prop. The reason why those children turn out that way from birth is because of the aura emanating from that prop. Only by destroying it can this kind of thing be completely eradicated. However, they are indeed no longer humans; I prefer to call these children elves.”
One-third of the woman’s back on the Ritual Card lit up.
She didn’t say what the prop was, and Ye Qiyan didn’t press further.
Just an emanating aura could affect the newborns of an entire city, and it had lasted for quite a few years; no matter how one thought about it, it wouldn’t be a simple gadget.
“Then, the second question, what is Sloth?”
He had wanted to know this question back in the City of a Thousand Stars.
When Fan Huo was being hunted down, he called those inspectors the lackeys of Sloth.
And just now, Monroe Gina likewise uttered those three words, Sloth.
The Staff-Sword spun again, and this time the tip of the sword pointed toward the sky.
“Those are the people who used the Order Card to build cities. Mm~ Have you been to other cities before?”
“I’ve been to the City of a Thousand Stars once.”
“Then, didn’t you feel that place makes people especially want to stay? Making people want to give up the Train, give up adventure, and stay forever and ever in that Peace.”
As expected, that wasn’t his misconception.
“Is it because of the Order Card?”
Monroe Gina snapped her fingers.
A screenshot was sent over.
[Order Card: Sloth]
[Sloth: Sloth brings stability]
[order: Establish order, must be obeyed!]
“This is information obtained by the people I left behind in the City of a Thousand Stars. What a pity, I originally wanted to steal it out, missed it by just a bit. Hmph, seeing this you should be able to understand, right?”
Startling the world with shocking words, Monroe Gina recounted a terrifying matter in this casual tone.
She truly left a mole among the upper echelons of those cities; the information on this card was obviously not something ordinary people could access.
That mole probably already held a very high status.
“Understood, so in Solomon City, there is also a similar card sequence?”
“Mm-hmm~”
Two-thirds of the woman’s back on the Ritual Card lit up.
“Then, the last question, does Senior Gina know about the RUN Corporation?”
“?”
Monroe Gina tilted her head in confusion, clearly not expecting Ye Qiyan to ask this. She thought hard for a moment, frowning as she twirled her Staff-Sword, her fingertips fiddling in the air, clearly using the system.
After a long while, she answered hesitatingly:
“That seems… to be a faction interfering in low-level Platform worlds? Hmm? If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed the existence of this company at all. However, low-level Platforms? Logically speaking, low-level Platform worlds shouldn’t allow factions to interfere… My people actually don’t have much information about this company. Hmm? Interesting.”
She seemed somewhat excited, like a cat that saw a red dot, determined to catch it with its claws.
Her fingers tapped on the Light Screen, the gaze beneath her mask mixed with an excited light.
Message after message was sent out by her. After a few minutes, she finally raised her head, playfully holding her Staff-Sword.
“What a truly interesting faction. Let’s pretend I didn’t answer this question, I’ll give you the answer later, hehe~ To think there’s a faction I don’t know about~”
Ye Qiyan silently offered a moment of silence for the RUN Corporation.
He seemed to have found quite a big trouble for them.
“Forget it, keep your last question for now, and ask me later when you have the chance.”
“Then what about your ritual?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Monroe Gina twisted her Staff-Sword.
Another Ritual Card appeared above the tip of the sword.
The two cards intersected with each other.
The final third of that woman’s back also began to glow.
The light converged, transforming into a dark gold color, and gradually condensed into a solid entity.
Nine Train Coins fell from the air into Monroe Gina’s hands.
“Annie, come here.”
With a soft call, that cyan-skinned—no, rather, the young girl referred to as an elf—poked her head out from the corner, obediently walking over to Monroe Gina’s side.
“Sister.”
“Hold this.”
She placed the Train Coins into the young girl’s hand.
“Give them to your grandma, have her make some dinner, and let everyone eat together.”
“Thank you, Sister.”
The young girl took the Train Coins, bowed to Monroe Gina, and turned around, running out happily.
Clearly, this sort of thing wasn’t happening for the first time either.
Whether Monroe Gina was a normal person or not, Ye Qiyan didn’t know, but based on the impression during this period of time, she should be a good person, right?
“Very pitiful, isn’t it?”
Ye Qiyan was noncommittal.
“Do you want to bring one onto the Train to act as an assistant?”
Ye Qiyan shook his head.
“I prefer being alone, sorry.”
“I guessed it would be like this.”
Monroe Gina let out a light chuckle.
“It really is strange. Good people instead dislike sharing a Train with others, whereas those guys I hate prefer to have more people on their Train. I’ve thought about this question for a long time, and even now I don’t know why this is. What do you say?”
