Chapter 58
Chapter 58 Level 5 Train and the Tenth Platform · Goblin Tribe
“Can this thing really turn someone into a vampire?”
Looking at the shriveled heart before him, Li Xiaosheng’s gaze was burning with intensity.
“Ye Qiyan, I will make you regret selling this thing to me!”
Tossing his head back, he threw it into his mouth, and a nauseating, fishy stench exploded in his oral cavity.
Li Xiaosheng forcibly swallowed it down, resisting the urge to vomit.
Afterwards, excruciating pain struck.
“Ah!”
His skin began to ulcerate, and two fangs pierced through his oral cavity.
His previously passable face transformed into an extremely ugly monster-like appearance within a matter of seconds.
Li Xiaosheng climbed up trembling, and was startled by his ugly self in the mirror.
“Is this me?!”
Punching out, the mirror was shattered into pieces.
“My strength has increased? A vampire, I’ve succeeded!”
From this moment on, Li Xiaosheng transcended humanity.
————
The next day.
[06:30:00]
The broadcast voice sounded at this moment.
Ye Qiyan, who had been awake for a while, was cooking.
He cracked two eggs into the frying pan, placed a few thin slices of beast meat next to it, and paired them with fresh tomatoes and a White Forest Fruit.
The meat slices sizzled on the skillet, and sprinkled with a bit of salt, it made for a hearty breakfast.
[Congratulations to the remaining 8,679 Train Captains after the sector merge; you have successfully arrived at the tenth station of the novice survival period.]
[The tenth station will be the end of the journey for novice Train Captains.]
[Wish you good luck]
“The end, huh…”
Munching on a White Forest Fruit, Ye Qiyan sat by the Train window and looked outside.
Yesterday’s silver-clad scenery vanished overnight.
The yellowish-brown wilderness remained as boundless as ever.
“Before the 10th station, upgrading to a Level 5 Train, I should be doing pretty well, right?”
“Hehe.”
He came to the front of the Train, reached out to touch the oval-shaped main body of the Train System, and spoke softly:
“Sublimation.”
Stamina and Mental Power surged like a tide.
Azure light currents continuously emerged from the front of the Train, until they completely enveloped the entire Train.
[Stamina: 120 → 70] [Mental Power: 120 → 60]
[Train upgrade complete!]
[Current Level: 5]
A brand new Train reappeared in the wilderness.
Opening the Train details, first were the familiar old three: the wheels, frame, and chassis were all at Level 5 strength.
The Train speed also increased to 100 kilometers per hour.
Following that were the upgrade options.
[1. Intelligent Chip (10 Train Coins)]
[2. Heavy Turret Carriage (20 Train Coins)]
[3. CVO Roadhog (10 Train Coins)]
[4. Infinite Storage Game Console (8 Train Coins)]
“…”
Well, he still overestimated his Train Coins reserves.
The 4 options were worth a total of 48 Train Coins. If he bought them all, his Train Coins reserves would drop back to single digits.
“I’ve just been a rich man for a day, and I’m about to become penniless again…”
Shaking his head helplessly, he first planned to see what these rewards actually were.
Needless to say about the intelligent chip; he had already installed a brain for Wall-E, and the agricultural carriage also needed one for full automation.
This must be bought.
The focus was on the last three, especially the most expensive carriage.
[Heavy Turret Carriage]
[Equipped with: Two fixed heavy artillery pieces, one fixed top machine gun]
[Can be controlled and attacked remotely via the Train control system]
“Artillery? Hiss, it always feels pretty good. Bought it.”
A pitch-black carriage, much larger than ordinary carriages, materialized out of thin air, dropped onto the tracks, and coupled with Ye Qiyan’s Train.
Teleporting into the carriage and looking at the huge gun barrels aimed at both sides of the carriage, Ye Qiyan couldn’t help but stroke them twice.
This is a man’s true romance.
If not for the fact that there were only six shells coming with the carriage, he really wanted to fire a shot right now to see its power.
The next option, CVO Roadhog, was a silver-gray motorcycle. With it, Ye Qiyan would no longer need to walk long distances on his own two legs inside the Platform.
Buy!
The last one.
[Infinite Storage Game Console]
[A game console with infinite internal storage space; you can spend one Train Coin to purchase constantly updated various games]
Without hesitation, this must be bought!!
The number of Train Coins returned to pre-liberation levels overnight, but adhering to the principle that since he bought it, he had to use it anyway.
He still spent one Train Coin to buy Devil May Cry 5 inside the game console, a game he hadn’t fully cleared before coming to this world.
Consider it… reminiscing about the past?
It was definitely not because his gaming addiction flared up!
Afterwards, there was one more thing.
That was the reward for breaking the Level 5 record.
[Congratulations on breaking the fastest Level 5 Train record! Obtained one piece of Train Armament]
“Train Armament? What kind of thing is this again?”
Choosing to claim it, an azure light current directly merged into Ye Qiyan’s body.
[Train Armament · doomsday drill]
[Consume one Train Coin to summon a drill in front of the Train, increasing power with the Train’s speed]
“O_o?”
[12:30]
Ye Qiyan, who was still being abused by the boss in the game, put down the controller.
Looking at the Light Screen appearing before him, his original laziness gradually disappeared.
“Is it finally going to start?”
[Crossroads of Fate triggered]
[Please choose a path from the following two Platforms]
[Platform One: Deep in the Gloomy Jungle (Level 5 Hunting Platform)]
[Platform Two: Davil Village · Goblin Tribe (Level 5 Hunting Platform)]
[Please choose.]
“Goblins again? I really do have an affinity with Goblins. Furthermore, are they all Hunting Platform? This station is really hard to choose from.”
Which one should he choose?
Option 1’s deep jungle basically meant having zero information.
And Option 2…
“Decided. Since Goblins have appeared so many times already, it wouldn’t make sense not to go check it out.”
“I choose Platform Two, Davil Village · Goblin Tribe.”
[Platform selection completed]
[Please sit tight and hold on securely. The tenth station arriving ahead of the Train is…]
[Davil Village · Goblin Tribe]
The Train moved forward, and half an hour later, it passed through the void.
Accompanied by the sounding of the whistle.
Ye Qiyan looked out the window.
To his surprise,
this time, outside the Train, more than a dozen men and women in various attires, looking very much like other-world adventurers, were looking over toward this side.
[Current Platform: Davil Village · Goblin Tribe]
[Dockable Countdown: 09:59:59]
[Wish you good luck]
[This station: High Risk!]
The leading bearded uncle wearing a cleric’s attire walked over and knocked on the Train door.
“Hello, are you the newly arrived adventurer?”
Adventurer, just like the hunter at the previous station, should be the identity of the Train Captain here.
The Sentry did not trigger; the other party carried no hostility.
Ye Qiyan opened the Train door and said with a smile:
“Hello, my name is Ye Qiyan. What happened here? I’m an adventurer who just happened to pass by and don’t know the situation yet.”
The cleric uncle smiled kindly.
“I see. I thought you were sent by the royal capital. Since you’re not, you’d better leave quickly. This village is about to be invaded by the Goblin Kingdom, and we must guard this place for five hours to ensure all the civilians in the village evacuate completely.”
“However, it seems a bit late; those Goblins have already arrived.”
