Chapter 1532: The bad luck of the Past Eighteen Years Exchanged for the Good Luck of Meeting You

“Did I do anything worthy of a return gift?”

The dream had dissipated.

Paggu’s figure disappeared without a trace as if it had never appeared at all.

Ye Qiyan looked at the giant stele in front of him and shook his head.

This station, which was incomparably desperate for Zhao Lin, had yielded him a level 13 item and something whose level the current system could not appraise.

“Still, the Hero Race is truly strong.”

He muttered softly.

“Fighting two against one and even counter-killing one. What a pity, the witch encountered at this station was a bit too weak; it truly wasted a good Dream Trace.”

Putting away the stele, Ye Qiyan returned to the place where he had initially voyaged to this world.

At this moment, Zhao Lin was sitting right there, with her eyes closed and her ears covered.

“What are you doing?”

Ye Qiyan speechlessly patted her on the head.

Only then did she snap out of it, flashing a goofy grin on her dust-stained, dirty face.

“Hehe, Brother Qiyan, are you guys done talking? I didn’t hear a single word, oh.”

“Hmph, it wouldn’t matter even if you heard; just pay a few more Train Coins.”

Zhao Lin was a smart person, and now was not the time for her to know about these things.

She was different from Ye Qiyan.

Ye Qiyan had to satisfy his curiosity no matter when or where.

As for Zhao Lin’s curiosity, as long as it would affect herself, she could discard it at will.

This was also a good habit she had cultivated among station after station of bad luck.

“I, I have no money left… The upgrade options for the previous level completely spent all my money…”

Ye Qiyan looked at her with empathy.

“The system is just like that—covetous of money to a fault. Alright, enough of that; it’s also time to leave this world. My own station hasn’t been completely cleared yet.”

He reached out his hand toward Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin blinked, tentatively placing her hand on his, and then…

Slap—!

Ye Qiyan backhanded her a tap.

“Give me money.”

“No… no money left…”

“Then what else do you have?”

Ye Qiyan looked at her with a smiling expression.

Zhao Lin thought for a moment, her face suddenly turning red, but she quickly shook her head.

“I, I still have some props and magic scrolls… However, Brother Qiyan… My Train is damaged, and repairing it also requires some money…”

“Hmph, in that case.”

Ye Qiyan sneered, took out [Redemption], and slapped it onto Zhao Lin’s forehead.

“At the next station, you’re going to the Kingdom of Order, right?”

Above his head emerged the light and shadow of burning demon horns.

“Mm, Brother Qiyan, I… I’m going to get that piece of the blasphemy card.”

“Oh? That Charlatan said that the probability of a blasphemy card fragment appearing is only one in ten thousand. How can you be sure you’ll get it?”

Ye Qiyan asked knowing the answer.

The pale radiance was bit by bit restoring the injuries on Zhao Lin’s body.

Even without asking.

“Heh, hehe…”

Zhao Lin gave another goofy grin.

“This station was completely plagued by bad luck. I even feel like it has reached the limit of bad luck that the current me can achieve. If I want to make the bad luck even stronger, it seems to require some feelings I don’t know yet… Um… Anyway, Brother Qiyan must have a Talent too, right? You definitely understand the feeling I’m talking about…”

Ye Qiyan actually understood, but not completely.

Because his [Sublimation] represented growth in itself.

As for the situation of other Talents, if pressed, he had only felt some special sensations in [Beyond the Stars] possessed by Lisette.

The growth of a Talent required not just an upper limit of Mental Power, but more importantly, conviction.

“Anyway, my luck at the next station will definitely be the best in history. I believe—um, no, not believe, it’s a certainty! There is definitely a piece of a blasphemy card there, hehe.”

Ye Qiyan put away [Redemption].

The demon horns on his head vanished accordingly.

The injuries on Zhao Lin’s body were restored to as good as new.

He sized up the other person and couldn’t help wanting to laugh a little.

“Alright then, it looks like you and I will be enemies at the next station?”

“Huh?”

“Idiot, even if I have many blasphemy cards, does that mean I wouldn’t want the next one?”

“Wuu… Then it’s over. I definitely won’t be able to snatch it from Brother Qiyan.”

“Then are you going to give up?”

Ye Qiyan deliberately used [Bewitchment], waiting with interest for Zhao Lin’s reply.

“…”

Zhao Lin fell silent for a moment, her gaze gradually turning resolute.

“I won’t give up. Even if it doesn’t work next time, the next time, and the next time after that, I will definitely…”

Sitting on the ground, she looked up at Ye Qiyan, the worship in her eyes existing like tangible desire.

“I will definitely obtain it.”

Would Zhao Lin obtain the blasphemy card?

This did not seem like it should be a question.

Because she was Zhao Lin; as long as she could survive the bad luck, she deserved to get her own blasphemy card.

“Alright then, to each their own ability. Let’s see if you can pull it off.”

Ye Qiyan toyed with Bewitchment with a playful smile, not feeling as much anticipation as expected for the possible fragment in the Kingdom of Order.

Things like a blasphemy card were not worth forcing.

He just needed to wait for Wall-E to find new fragments for him.

If the fragment appearing in the Kingdom of Order ultimately fell into his hands, Ye Qiyan would not hand it over to Zhao Lin either.

However.

In the case of the Kingdom of Order, Ye Qiyan did not plan to let Wall-E go treasure hunting anyway.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his fingers and curled them one by one.

“Let me calculate. Since you can’t cough up money, then counting the previous ones, you owe me… four times of good luck. Well, rounding it up, five times. Five times of good luck, how about that? Isn’t it a great deal?”

“A great deal, a great deal! Thank you, Brother Qiyan!”

Transaction complete~

This trip wasn’t made in vain after all.

Ye Qiyan didn’t plan to stay here for long.

The station that truly belonged to him hadn’t been completely cleared yet.

“Level 12 station worlds are more interesting after all… Level 11, God Kingdom World… How boring. Oh right.”

The Anchor began to shine, and Ye Qiyan snapped his fingers by the way.

The authority Paggu gave him might as well be put to use.

The Demon-Nether tribe members, who should have continued chasing Zhao Lin with no sanity left, all froze in place.

“See you in the Kingdom of Order.”

“Mm! Thank you! Brother Qiyan! As expected, you are the good luck I got in exchange for the bad luck of my past eighteen years! Brother Qiyan, um, I…”

Her words trailed off halfway.

Because Ye Qiyan’s figure had already vanished without a trace.

Zhao Lin pressed her lips together, then smiled happily.

“That’s fine too. See you at the next station, Brother Qiyan.”

[Level 11 Ascension Platform World · Kingdom of Counterfeits]

Ye Qiyan’s figure appeared beside [Supreme · Habitat of Stars · Eve], who was his eleventh Anchor Point.

He opened his eyes, rubbed the rabbit Mecha Girl on top of her head, and muttered softly.

“The bad luck of eighteen years exchanged for the good luck of meeting me? I don’t think so at all.”

He could become the good luck of Zhao Lin at a certain station, and he could also become the existence that saved her from bad luck.

But if you said that the good luck brought by Zhao Lin’s eighteen years of bad luck was just meeting him?

He didn’t think the good fortune exchanged for those eighteen years of bad luck should be so cheap.

When all was said and done, he didn’t feel like he had helped Zhao Lin at all. From beginning to end, the two of them reached results through a series of transactions.

The result was…

Becoming friends~

“Being able to survive hurdle after hurdle of bad luck is her greatest stroke of good luck.”

Ye Qiyan stretched lazily and released both Lisette and The Hunt from the Matrix Space.

“Alright, next, let’s clean up this station, and then… just wait for Wall-E to come back. Sigh… Level 11 stations really aren’t as interesting as Level 12 ones. Two more levels to go.”
