Chapter 41
Chapter 41: The Guiding Smiling Man and the Great Compassion Heavy Machine Gun
Trading Platform.
After the Train stopped, Ye Qiyan was surprised by the station information displayed on the system light screen before him, specifically the word “Infinite” in the docking column.
Infinite docking?
Would this world really give people the choice to stop?
Ye Qiyan did not believe it.
Just at that moment, a soft knocking sound reached his ears.
He raised his eyes and looked over.
He saw that right in front of the Train door, a “person” wearing a white smiling mask and a black military cap, whose gender was indistinguishable, was standing there waving at him.
The vigilant sentry did not trigger.
This was a “person”, not a monster.
The Smiling Man tilted his head slightly, and his height of nearly two meters resembled a small hill.
He patted his white-gloved palms and bowed to Ye Qiyan in salute.
“Welcome~ Respected Train Captain, the guide of Traveling Station Platform No. 2 sincerely serves you.”
“A guide? What do you do?”
The Smiling Man straightened his body, one finger pointing toward the building behind him.
“Naturally, it is to take you into the shopping hall and earn Train Coins from your hands for this station. Of course, I can also answer some doubts for you.”
“You really are honest…”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Getting off the Train and closing the door, with the vigilant sentry present, he was not afraid of anyone tampering with his Train.
“You just said you could answer my doubts? What price needs to be paid?”
“No price. As a guide, answering your doubts about this station is a reasonable action. Of course, it would be even better if you are willing to spend more Train Coins.”
On the way to shopping, Ye Qiyan raised the question he cared about most.
“Why does this station exist in the wilderness? Also, the docking time of this platform… is infinite? What does that mean? Could it be that I can stay here and do not need to continue riding the Train to the next station?”
Hearing this question, the Smiling Man’s steps paused slightly. Even though he wore a mask, Ye Qiyan could still feel the playful gaze cast by this fellow.
This gaze was fleeting, and the Smiling Man replied:
“The Traveling Station has always existed in this world; there is no such thing as ‘why’. As for the docking time you mentioned… that’s right, you can completely stay here, abandon the Train, and stay forever.”
“Will you stay?”
The naked malice seemed to swallow Ye Qiyan whole; he seemed very eager for someone to stay here.
“Better not.”
“What a pity~”
The Smiling Man shook his head and continued forward.
Arriving in front of the shopping hall, the Smiling Man bent down, pulled a card from his chest, and stuck it against the door.
The door opened, and the scene inside the shopping hall presented itself before Ye Qiyan’s eyes.
“Please.”
Walking into the shopping hall.
A light screen suddenly dropped from mid-air.
[ID: E-3-1102]
[Name: Ye Qiyan]
[Train Level: Level 4]
[Current Platform Number: Seventh Station]
[Train Coins Assets: 20 pieces]
The light screen displayed his information completely.
Ye Qiyan didn’t care about this; such information wasn’t precious anyway.
“So, what should I do?”
Receiving no response, Ye Qiyan looked suspiciously at the Smiling Man beside him, finding him standing blankly in place, his eyes under the mask staring fixedly at him.
“Hmm? What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with me?”
The Smiling Man snapped back to his senses, and in an incredulous tone, while sizing up Ye Qiyan, asked:
“This is unexpectedly only your seventh station? How surprising. Having been at this platform for many years and months, I have never seen anyone able to come here so early. Platform No. 2 of the Traveling Station has never been treated as a Train Captain’s seventh station, and moreover… how were you able to upgrade to Level Train Captain”
“Is this important? I suppose I have no reason to satisfy your curiosity.”
Ye Qiyan’s expression was calm, and the leather boots on his feet flickered with faint electrical light.
The Smiling Man shook his head.
“No, this is not important. It was my discourtesy.”
Bowing in salute, the Smiling Man raised his slender palm and tore off his other arm right in front of Ye Qiyan.
“This is my punishment for myself. If you are still unsatisfied, I can also tear off the other arm.”
“No need, I’m not that bored.”
“Thank you.”
The Smiling Man picked up the arm from the ground and reattached it to the torn wound.
Blood-colored granulation tissue glued the two together, and even all the blood on the ground was drawn back into his body.
Is this guy really a human?
There were three paths in total in the shopping hall, and the Smiling Man led Ye Qiyan to stand at the one on the far right.
Above this path was the Roman numeral Ⅵ.
“This is the display case for Level 6 items. According to the rules, you can purchase one item here.”
The Smiling Man waved his arms, and two transparent display cases rose on both sides of the path.
“Only two?”
“Yes. If you are unsatisfied, you can also choose the Level 4 and Level 5 item areas next door; the quantity of items there is very large. Worst case scenario, there are also Level 1-3 low-level trading stations available for you to choose from.”
Forget it, let’s look first and talk later.
Walking straight to the center of the two display cases and bringing up the system light screen, the information of the two items surfaced on it.
[Great Compassion Heavy Machine Gun] (Level 6)
[Can use Mental Power to replace bullets, condensing ten rounds per point of Mental Power. Deals increased damage to evil spirits/demons/evil…, and inflicts the “Deliverance Effect” on ghosts/abnormalities.]
[Price: 18 Train Coins]
[Trickster Sword] (Level 6)
[Consumes 10 points of the upper limit of Mental Power to cause a triple reduction effect on the Mental Power of targets judged as “Life”. The effects of enemy sanity dissipation, self-doubt, and mental madness are doubled.]
[Price: 18 Train Coins]
“So expensive…”
“But it’s worth more than its value, right?”
The Smiling Man was right; a Level 6 item was indeed worth this price.
However, what the hell is this Trickster Sword?
Consuming the upper limit of one’s own Mental Power only to reduce the opponent’s Mental Power in return?
Isn’t this purely harming the enemy by eight hundred while self-destructing by eight thousand?
