Chapter 1504
Chapter 1504: The Drained Ye Qiyan
11,007.
This number… is very subtle.
“…”
Ye Qiyan calmly opened his friend list and re-confirmed the conversation with Zhao Lin.
There’s no mistake.
This extra thousand of his.
Is precisely the thousand Train Coins of reward for the next station that Zhao Lin had just mentioned to him.
“Hehe…”
Ye Qiyan let out a chuckle and grabbed the system’s light screen that was slowly floating to the side.
“Fine, fine, fine. In the past, you only coveted my money, at most asking me to sell some materials and resources. But now look at you, you’ve even counted the reward I haven’t even received yet.”
He kept kneading this mass of the light screen.
The system’s light screen also very cooperatively turned into various shapes. After being kneaded into a ball, as soon as Ye Qiyan let go, it immediately restored to its original appearance.
“…Damn it, I really give up. Can’t you make it a thousand cheaper?”
[Ding]
[The price is correct, fair to both old and young. If it’s a thousand cheaper, it must be replaced with another option priced at [10,007 Train Coins].]
[Upgrade options cannot be exchanged.]
[Please do not mind, Train Captain.]
“Hehe.”
Ye Qiyan couldn’t be bothered to say anything more.
Looking at the card-swiping slot that had very consciously appeared on the system’s light screen, he could only let out a deep sigh.
“Can’t you bring something big when it comes to the level 40 upgrade options, not letting me save a single coin…”
Having said that, Ye Qiyan still picked up the black card and, just as he was about to swipe it, suddenly thought of something.
“Wait a minute, Lisette, first give the extra 10,007 to…”
Before he finished speaking, the system’s light screen had already proactively greeted him.
“Damn it, are you outright robbing me now.”
Ye Qiyan raised his hand high, using his other hand to push the light screen away to keep it from approaching the black card.
After Lisette transferred the 10,007 into the stored-value card totaling 200,000 Train Coins given to him earlier by Helen in Arcane Academy City, he finally bought Option One.
[The system can help the Train Captain store and record Train Coins.]
“No need. When I get those one thousand coins during these three wilderness days, I’ll give them to you.”
The card-swiping was complete, Option One was extracted, and that card shattered accordingly.
A crimson fruit conveniently fell onto the tray in front of Lisette’s chest.
The remaining Train Coins were transferred back to the black card. Looking at the system light screen that didn’t intend to disappear, Ye Qiyan casually tossed the black card in his hand.
“Forget it, I won’t mess with you guys anymore.”
He threw the black card to Myathira, who had been watching the show on the side all along.
“Deposit it. Anyway, it was meant to be spent. System, and Myathira, remember to prepare some good things for me in the level 40 upgrade option shop, alright?”
Myathira blinked, chuckled, and happily hugged the black card to come in front of the system’s light screen to swipe it for him.
The second option couldn’t be bought for the time being, after all, it was still a thousand short.
Card swiping completed.
The total amount of Train Coins inside the black card became zero again.
Myathira waved her little wings and happily came to his side.
“Hehe~ Myathira knows. Master, rest assured, although I don’t know what the Main System will pull out for Master, what Myathira prepares for Master will definitely satisfy you.”
“However, for the next two levels, Myathira temporarily won’t be able to help you choose…”
She secretly glanced at the Main System’s light screen.
And on that light screen were still words that nobody believed.
[The system will not interfere with the Train Captain’s upgrade options. Everything is]
[Random.]
The light screen for the card swiping dissipated, leaving only the detailed appraisal information of the second option that hadn’t been fully read yet.
An item of level 11. If it weren’t for the fact that the first option was that fruit capable of increasing Mental Power limits, Ye Qiyan would really have wanted to buy it first.
After all, the current him could make level 11 items undergo extreme Sublimation into unranked ones.
Even, if the potential was big enough, they might not necessarily be shattered by the power of Sublimation.
“Then I’ll leave it to you. Well… let’s look at the content of this option first. If it’s good enough…”
The materials in his hands honestly didn’t have many that could be sold.
Even the most basic metal and mechanical parts for a Train Captain were now severely lacking.
Yes.
He was short on basic resources.
The root cause was that during the previous battle with the Dark Overlord, he had used these two resources with his [Supreme] machine control ability to forcibly condense a large number of disposable weapons.
As well as using them to smelt various special metals, which was a huge expense.
Now, the buildings Wall-E was constructing at Tranquil Sea Island were also consuming a large amount of various materials.
Among the basic materials Ye Qiyan collected in several worlds long ago, currently only wood was completely unlacked.
After all, his [calamity card: Viridescent World] could create a huge forest out of thin air just by consuming Mental Power.
Therefore, strictly speaking, only the huge sum of wool he plucked from the hands of that Resource Jazz during the Kingdom of Order era could be sold.
But those things might be useful in the future, and he didn’t want to sell them at all.
Calculated this way… the system’s upgrade option truly squeezed him completely dry of that last sum of Train Coins that hadn’t even arrived in his hands yet.
“Damn it…”
Ye Qiyan raised his hand and knocked on the system light screen, casually dragging the information of the second option in front of him.
“I want to see what this campfire does to be worth 11,000 Correct Train Coins.”
[Sheltering Campfire]
[Level: 11]
[Category: Domain-type item]
[When set on any [flat] ground, it can open up a domain with a constant temperature of 23°C and a range of two hundred meters.]
[Within this domain, a maximum of 20 [Train Captain] units can be recorded.]
[Regardless of day or night, as long as the recorded Train Captains enter this area, they will be sheltered by the [Campfire], neutralizing their own negative effects while additionally recovering 10 points of Stamina and 10 points of Mental Power per minute.]
[When entering the range of the Campfire, it will automatically fend off a fatal attack once per day.]
[Units of the Dark / Weird / Soul type will show extra fear when facing the domain of the [Campfire].]
[But please note!]
[When located in the dark, the campfire will attract more creatures from the dark. Once their numbers are sufficient, they will try to devour the campfire.]
[Note: The first time life ignites a campfire in the dark represents the birth of civilization.]
Not bad.
This long list of effects; many higher-level items don’t have this many.
However, is this thing really suitable for him? It would be good if what it could shelter wasn’t Train Captains, but his partners.
After all, he isn’t the kind of person who would altruistically shelter other Train Captains. What Ye Qiyan cares about are only the partners on his own Train.
“Level 11, it can be sublimated though. Is the station entry time tomorrow… Well… Forget it, tomorrow, let’s get that one thousand Train Coins in hand first.”
