Chapter 133: Black Forest, Trembling of the Devil Cards
Altos left this station, and he also took away some of the rotting corpses in this deep pit until his Locomotive was filled.
From his words, Ye Qiyan managed to learn some relatively useful information.
First, the number of Train Captains in each batch is one hundred eighty million, and during the initial Ten Newbie Stations, eighty percent of them fail to pass.
Second, the Train System favors Train Captains. This could already be glimpsed from the anger displayed by the system through text when he was almost trapped at the Slaughter Station back then.
Third, the tasks on the Platform are equivalent to a transaction, and for this transaction, the Train Captains can choose not to complete it and instead directly plunder the rewards through force or other means.
“That being said, what are those people who want Train Captains to give up and stay in the city doing it for?”
Solomon City, City of a Thousand Stars… These cities seem to be acting contrary to the Train System.
“Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway.”
The Wandering Star Holy Mark revolved around him.
The Raven Demon and the Demon Raven hovered in the sky.
Altos’s Locomotive carriage was very small, at least to Ye Qiyan now, it was very small.
The rotting corpses he could take away were only a dozen or so. As for the rest, he might as well show mercy and help release them.
Of course, by recycling them through the Processing Table along the way, he might even be able to get some materials.
In less than ten minutes, the Raven Demon finished off all the rotting corpses and dragged them one by one to the Processing Table summoned by Ye Qiyan for recycling.
The types of items recycled were not many. Besides rotten meat, there was also a relatively special material.
[Rotten Soul (Level 1)]
[Material used for making potions]
There were a total of one hundred seventy-two rotting corpses here, yielding one hundred seventy-two rotten souls, which, along with over three hundred kilograms of rotten meat, constituted all the harvest here.
The rotten meat could not be eaten.
However, throwing it into the Breeding Carriage and Planting Carriage as fertilizer and food for the plants and the little Goshawk that hadn’t grown up yet was just right.
After finishing these, Ye Qiyan shifted his gaze to the fog overhead that blocked the external yang yan wind, and suddenly came up with a bold idea.
Could this fog, which could remain undissipated for so long in the weather of the yang yan wind and lower the temperature, also belong to a special kind of material?
If it was a material, it should be collectible.
Saying and doing it, he drove the Raven Demon to carry the Processing Table and fly into mid-air to try it out. The fog above actually drifted towards the Processing Table and was sucked in.
The temperature in the deep pit gradually rose as the fog thinned, and the scorching gale no longer had any obstruction.
Until the fog completely disappeared, a resilient purple sphere appeared on the Processing Table.
[Purple Heart Fog Orb (Level 3)]
[Can resist some bellicose states caused by the influence of War]
This thing was hard to say when it would be useful. Its level wasn’t high, and it belonged to a functional item.
Ye Qiyan put it into his backpack, and then grabbed the Raven Demon to return to the top of the deep pit.
Summoning Roadhog, he headed towards the southeast.
That was precisely the path he had taken when he came.
The weather impact of the yang yan wind was becoming increasingly severe.
Even with the Ice Pulse Bead used at full strength, it could only keep his body temperature within the range of a normal person.
It took another hour or so to return to the Train.
He did not set off immediately, but prepared to undergo Sublimation on this Ice Pulse Bead first.
Otherwise, going on like this, even though the Wandering Star Holy Mark blocked the yang yan wind outside, the power of the Ice Pulse Bead would still be unable to withstand the high temperature of fully 50°C.
No, it seemed that now it was already more than 50°C.
The temperature displayed by the Sunny Doll had already reached an astonishing 56°C.
“It’s so hot. Come to think of it, Zhao Lin’s station this time should be the Bad Luck Platform, right? In this weather, she might not be able to hold on.”
Ye Qiyan shook his head, only silently thinking about Zhao Lin’s situation in his heart, without making any substantive caring gestures.
He took off the Ice Pulse Bead hanging around his neck and held it in his palm.
The icy touch, even when reaching out of the Temperature-controlled carriage, made him feel exceptionally comfortable.
Eating large mouthfuls of White Forest Fruit smoothie, he muttered softly.
“Sublimation.”
[Mental Power: 139 → 99]
[Ice Pulse Bead (Level 3) → Ice Pulse Heart Bead (Level 5)]
It consumed forty points of Mental Power.
It leaped from Level 3 to Level 5.
Unexpectedly, the potential of the Ice Pulse Bead had not yet been completely exhausted.
However, Ye Qiyan temporarily had no plans to continue Sublimation.
After all, there were more important matters ahead, and he couldn’t consume too much more.
He brought up the system Light Screen and appraised the orb in his hand that was emitting an ice-blue luster.
[Ice Pulse Heart Bead (Level 5)]
[Consumes Mental Power to instantly create ice without needing water, allows shape manipulation, significantly lowers the temperature, provides a calming effect, and slowly increases the recovery speed of Mental Power.]
The enhancement was quite substantial; it directly removed the requirement of needing water to freeze.
Furthermore, an effect of increasing the recovery speed of Mental Power was added to the description.
Although it was only slow, for Ye Qiyan, you could never have too much of this kind of ability.
He tied the Ice Pulse Heart Bead back onto the rope.
Ye Qiyan walked out of the carriage once again.
Consuming a bit of Mental Power.
The external high temperature was instantly isolated.
An illusory ice-blue light shadow appeared beneath his feet.
The external high temperature was no longer a problem.
“Not bad.”
He touched the precious orb around his neck with satisfaction, mounted Roadhog, and identified the direction where Wall-E was.
Just now, he also glanced at the Sandbox.
There were no more dangerous unit coordinates appearing on the Sandbox.
After Altos left, this station theoretically shouldn’t have any more dangerous creatures existing.
But Altos had also said that in that forest, it would make people unconsciously want to chop something down.
It wasn’t hard to guess that that place definitely possessed power capable of affecting the mind.
He wasn’t afraid anyway.
However, Wall-E, who had become a Mechanical Lifeform, shouldn’t be affected, right?
Roadhog started moving.
It headed straight towards the southeast.
After driving for about fifty-odd minutes, Ye Qiyan saw the black forest that Altos had mentioned.
Yet this forest inexplicably gave him a familiar feeling.
It was just like…
“White Forest’s color change? No, it’s still a bit different, but these trees?”
White Forest, his second Platform.
That off-white land was simply too special, so Ye Qiyan’s memories of that place were quite profound.
The trees in the black forest before him were identical to the trees in the White Forest, except for their color.
“Could this place have any connection to the White Forest?”
After a brief thought, he habitually summoned the Demon Raven to pave the way ahead.
But the moment the Demon Raven entered the black forest area, it suddenly let out a shrill roar, and immediately charged in one direction.
Not only that.
Ye Qiyan even felt that his other Devil Cards in the Armament Space were also trembling slightly, as if… angry?
