Chapter 45
Chapter 45 Turns Out He’s a Psycho
As expected, upon learning about this infinite docking time, certain people started having ideas.
Walking out of the shopping hall, Shangguan Yingxue sneered at the conversation in the Chat Room. Carrying her gains, she boarded the Train and left this place.
Unlike her, Li Xiaosheng did not leave.
Although he didn’t intend to stay here either, his established Alliance had already agreed to meet here.
Furthermore, Li Xiaosheng had a plan to harvest resources.
Since the platform’s docking time was infinite, as long as his Alliance members blocked these 20 tracks, everyone else could only wait outside. Without paying the toll, they could forget about entering the station.
As time moved forward, more and more people entered the platform.
Among them, thanks to the help of Li Xiaosheng’s basic resources, his Alliance members arrived much faster than others, occupying the vast majority of the 20 tracks.
Those who arrived later at the trading platform could only stay outside and be attacked by the constantly appearing monsters.
They could only huddle together for warmth and curse furiously at Li Xiaosheng in the Chat Room.
[ “Li Xiaosheng, you XX your XX! What do you mean by blocking the entrance? Hurry up and let me in!” ]
[ “Is this station run by your family? What right do you have to demand resources from us? Damn it, demanding Train Coins for passage—who do you think you are?” ]
[ “Such a stupid dog, I’ll kill him once I get in.” ]
[ “Heh, who told you to come so late? If you could have entered the station first, you could have done the same. Inability is just inability, Brother Li is doing the right thing!” ]
Those Alliance members who had reaped benefits joined in and started a scolding war with the others.
But one sentence was very true: they came too late, and the initiative was never in their hands.
With more and more monsters outside, in order to enter the station, some people still chose to compromise and paid the toll to Li Xiaosheng’s Alliance.
Li Xiaosheng experienced the taste of power like never before.
[ “As expected, I came to this world to be the protagonist!” ]
He couldn’t wait to show off his success to others, bringing up the light screen and inputting that deeply remembered ID number.
[ “Ye Qiyan, heh, only you, I will never let you in!” ]
—-
Drawing water, watering the tree.
Ye Qiyan skillfully plucked a tree fruit and took a bite.
[ “This still tastes the best; I’m a bit tired of eating heavy meat dishes.” ]
If others heard these words, they would probably be pissed off to death.
A light screen hovered beside him, displaying the contents of the private chat interface.
A message happened to appear before Ye Qiyan at this moment.
[ “Li Xiaosheng? Why is he looking for me again?” ]
After pondering for a moment, anyway there was nothing much to do now, let’s see what he had to say.
[ “Ye Qiyan, I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over the blueprint for that rifle, and I’ll consider letting you enter the platform. Otherwise, you can just wait outside and die!” ]
Entering the station?
He had left the station for half a day already.
Moreover, with this tone, could it be that he had done something to offend this guy?
Another message was sent over.
[ “What? Too scared to speak? Haha, to tell you the truth, even if you hand over that blueprint, I will definitely make you die outside! Do you really think a low-level rifle blueprint is precious? The grudge of humiliating me, I will repay it a hundredfold!” ]
[ “No wonder I always felt he was weird. Turns out he’s a psycho. Deleting him earlier was definitely the right choice.” ]
Ye Qiyan couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to this psycho, tapped the light screen, and replied with a single word.
[ “Oh.” ]
Afterwards, a one-stop service of blacklisting and blocking completely severed all contact with Li Xiaosheng.
Inside the platform, Li Xiaosheng, who was waiting for Ye Qiyan’s response, saw this “Oh” character. Veins immediately bulged on his forehead as he frantically tapped the light screen, sending a long string of dialogue, only to find that the send option had turned gray.
[ “Blacklisted?! How dare he blacklist me!” ]
Li Xiaosheng’s face flushed red, as ugly as a big-headed clown about to burst.
As time passed.
Even without paying the toll to Li Xiaosheng’s Alliance, the number of people entering the station was increasing.
Because Li Xiaosheng’s plan had a huge and obvious bug.
There were 20 railway tracks, and the premise for preventing people outside from entering was that these 20 tracks must be fully occupied.
When people outside paid the fee, they needed to let someone occupying a track leave the station first, and then notify that person to immediately follow up.
But in this way, the Alliance members occupying the tracks were constantly leaving, and the people entering from outside wouldn’t listen to Li Xiaosheng’s words at all—they stayed if they wanted to, and left if they wanted to.
If it weren’t for some people who learned about the infinite docking time of this station and wanted to try staying behind, these 20 tracks could no longer have been fully occupied by now.
Among these people, quite a few were Li Xiaosheng’s Alliance members, and these people had no intention of leaving at all.
The Alliance’s harvest was practically nonexistent.
This made Li Xiaosheng’s expression, who had paid a huge amount of materials to upgrade the wheels and increase the speed for other Alliance members, turn increasingly ugly.
The so-called Alliance was never a solid organization to begin with; everyone joined just to freeload materials. When it actually came time to do something, being outwardly compliant but inwardly disobedient was already considered noble character.
Besides, he could form an Alliance, and others could also secretly plot to snatch resources from his hands.
After all, he flaunted his supplies all day long, and everyone knew how wealthy this fellow was.
If this continued, he would become the most eye-catching fat sheep.
The Alliance members’ gazes towards him were also gradually turning strange. Having no other choice, he could only sneak away from the station in defeat. This trashy plan hadn’t even earned back the capital given to other Alliance members.
Time continued to pass.
Li Xiaosheng’s departure did not mean that everyone could freely enter the station.
The 20 tracks were firmly under Control, and even if Train Captains still in the outside world wanted to spend resources to enter the station, no one paid them any attention at all.
Because those who stayed there had no intention of leaving at all.
They felt that regardless of how long they could stay here, or whether they had food and drink, as long as they didn’t board the Train and didn’t contact a new station, they could somehow live a few more days.
Zhao Lin, who was still suffering from bad luck, was also one of those unable to enter the station.
With a crying face, she tightly hugged the gun bought from Ye Qiyan. Only in this way could it bring her a tiny bit of a sense of security.
[ “Didn’t die inside the station, am I going to die outside the station? Wu… Why am I so unlucky…” ]
Outside the Train, the sounds of monsters could faintly be heard in the dark wilderness.
Zhao Lin curled up in a corner, covering her ears in a futile act of self-deception.
As long as she didn’t hear it, she would pretend the monsters didn’t exist.
[ 24:00:00 ]
Eerie chimes suddenly rang out.
All the monsters gathered outside the station scattered and fled as if sensing some kind of horror.
Zhao Lin dazedly raised her head and looked outside the Train window. The huge station standing ahead was being enveloped by a mass of black sludge. Under the moonlight, it seemed as if it were alive.
Inside the station.
The Smiling Man, having removed his mask, was nibbling bit by bit on the White Forest Fruit gifted to him by Ye Qiyan.
He stood high in the air, coldly gazing down at the 20 staying people gathered below.
[ “Foolish, pathetic… Heh, weak people don’t even have the qualification to be cursed.” ]
[ “Stay? Infinite? In this world, the option to stop does not exist.” ]
Rounds of black sludge whirlpools appeared beneath those people’s feet.
Terrified, they wanted to escape.
But within that sludge, even their Trains were being continuously devoured.
[ “Save, save me!” ]
Shrill screams echoed beneath this night sky.
The Smiling Man continued to take small bites of the White Forest Fruit.
[ “So delicious…” ]
