Chapter 202: The Twenty-Second Station · Fengxiang Hotel
The task of preparing food was handed over to Lisette.
There was not much time left before arriving at the next station, so she made a pot of fish soup using the fish caught on Turtle Island, along with rice made from the Infinite Rice Bag.
The ingredients were simple, but it could definitely be considered a delicacy.
Time.
[12:30:00]
The time has come.
Putting down the spoon, the Module appeared on the Light Screen before his eyes.
[Crossroads of Fate triggered.]
[Please choose your twenty-second station from the following Platforms]
[1: The Great Labyrinth of the Golden Hound (Level 7 Escape Platform)]
[2: Fengxiang Hotel (Level 7 Multiplayer Competitive Platform)]
Huh?
Multiplayer competition?
This was the first time this type of Platform had appeared.
Ye Qiyan had no interest in the escape Platform of option one at all, but as for the second one, even if it was level seven, if it required competing with other Train Captains, perhaps he could get something from them.
“I choose Platform 2, Fengxiang Hotel.”
[Platform selection completed.]
[The twenty-second station you are about to arrive at is…]
[Fengxiang Hotel.]
[Please sit tight and hold on securely, the Train is about to arrive~]
He ate the last grain of rice in the bowl and drank the last drop of fish soup.
He took a White Forest Fruit handed over by Wall-E and took a bite out of it.
Half an hour later, nothingness appeared ahead.
The Train’s tracks extended endlessly.
About to arrive at a new Platform.
Time.
[13:00:00]
A bloody setting sun hung over the peak of the mountain.
The entire world was shrouded in a layer of eerie blood red.
Outside the window.
It was dead silent.
This was an abandoned Platform.
Here, many corpses that had long turned into white bones could be seen.
[Current Platform: Fengxiang Hotel]
[Docking Countdown: 18:59:59]
[Good luck]
[This Station: … Slight danger?]
Slight danger?
Why did it feel like the system’s judgment was very hesitant?
Does this mean something, or a prop in someone’s hand, was somewhat useful?
“Wall-E.”
The little robot, which had been ready for a long time, stood at its exclusive doorway.
Its eyes curved, and it waved its arms happily.
“This time, I’m counting on you again~ Stay safe.”
The little robot was simply overjoyed.
It was going to start treasure hunting again.
“As for the next step…”
Ye Qiyan looked around.
Lisette stood silently in the corner without saying a word, while Eve stayed on the roof of energy, guarding the surroundings and finding no danger.
“Eve.”
Last time in Solomon City, there hadn’t been a chance to let Eve out; this time, it was just right to bring her along for the adventure.
“Lisette, I’ll leave the Train to you.”
Someone had to watch the Train after all.
Furthermore, there would be other Train Captains competing with him here.
To be honest, he could directly store the Train into the Matrix.
However, after Wall-E found the Treasure Chest, it would return to this place.
At that time, if it couldn’t find the Train, it would also lose that unobservable state due to leaving the treasure-hunting mode.
That would be very dangerous.
Moreover.
If the Train were put away in this kind of Platform, if its anchor wanted to Voyage, it could only head to other Platform Worlds that still had Anchor Points.
Lisette smiled and nodded.
She silently walked over to the spot where Ye Qiyan had just sat down to eat, placed her hands overlapping on her thighs, and closed her eyes.
Ye Qiyan also shared the permissions of the phantom Monitor with her to ensure nothing went wrong.
With preparations complete and wearing his increasingly lightweight backpack, Ye Qiyan led Eve out of the Train.
Opening the door, closing the door.
He first inspected the surrounding white bones.
After finding nothing special.
He looked at the coordinates on the Sandbox through the phantom Monitor.
Those coordinates were not too far from where the Train was docked.
Even without using Roadhog, it was only a dozen or so minutes away.
On this Platform, only a single building could be seen.
Without a doubt, that was Fengxiang Hotel.
Then, what were they competing for?
Where had those Train Captains competing with him docked?
“Let’s go, Eve.”
Mounting Roadhog and bringing Eve with him, moving at full speed, they quickly arrived directly in front of the hotel.
He hadn’t paid much attention when they were far away.
Now that they were close, why did the shape of this hotel look so much like…
“A coffin?”
Beneath the blood-red sky, a building resembling a coffin stood tall upon this black earth.
“Fengxiang Hotel…”
On the dark red signboard, it felt as if something was watching.
“Playing this creepy trick again, fine, maybe I can get something to increase the potential of the pure purification stone.”
He took out the pure purification stone and pushed open the hotel’s front doors with Eve.
Inside the door, it was dead quiet.
Yet it was brightly lit.
“Huh?”
A person whose gender was indistinguishable stood at the front desk.
Ye Qiyan silently put his hand into his pocket, grasping the pure purification stone, ready to strike at any time.
Walking up to the front desk, before he could even speak, he heard the other party say:
“Hello, respected Train Captain, welcome to Fengxiang Hotel. May I ask if you need to check in?”
Knowing about Train Captains? That was interesting…
In all the Station Worlds Ye Qiyan had experienced, the natives who knew of the existence of Train Captains mostly did so because previous Train Captains had done certain things here that affected this Station World.
Check in?
He looked around.
No other people were seen.
Within Eve’s reconnaissance range, no presence of danger was detected.
Whether it was monsters or souls, if they existed, it was impossible for Eve not to find them.
Then…
“Of course, I want to check in for one day.”
The front desk attendant whose gender was indistinguishable grinned and leaned down to pull out a wooden plaque.
Four types of prices were written on it in blood-red text.
[Low-level Suite: 10 Train Coins per day]
[Intermediate Suite: 20 coins] [Advanced: 30] [Top-tier Suite: 50]
So expensive?
What is the difference between these suites?
Ye Qiyan’s brows furrowed slightly, and Bewitchment quietly spun at his fingertips.
“What is different about these rooms?”
“The price is different~”
“Has anyone else been here?”
“Two Train Captains have already checked in.”
“What should I do if I have no money?”
The front desk attendant maintained a smile, and then pulled out another wooden board.
[Sundries Suite: Free.]
Ye Qiyan did not make a choice immediately, but instead said:
“Can you take me to choose a room?”
“I want to take a look myself.”
“Naturally, you can~”
The attendant walked out and led Ye Qiyan to the front of an elevator.
Opening the elevator, inside, a large character “寿” was written.
Furthermore, the moment the door opened, Eve’s muzzle pointed toward the top of the elevator.
There, a giant long-tongued woman was coiled.
“Please come in.”
The attendant said so.
Ye Qiyan stood in front of the elevator door, brought Eve in, and then—
pulled out the pure purification stone.
Intense light burst forth.
