Chapter 65
Chapter 65 card sequence
“City of a Thousand Stars, Nation on the Ship, Sky Garden… Are these the cities built by the predecessors Shaya mentioned? Inviting the new batch of Train Captains who have passed the tenth Platform directly through the system…”
“Whichever invitation is accepted allows traveling there at the next stop, which means random Platform choices are no longer needed?”
“What… will the city be like?”
Looking at the dozens of mass-sent emails in his inbox, Ye Qiyan fell into thought.
Just from the names, it was impossible to tell the strength and nature of these factions.
Choosing rashly might lead to some trouble.
Or not accept the invitation?
Ye Qiyan shook his head, dismissing the thought.
He hadn’t done anything wrong, so he had a clear conscience. Aside from the blasphemy card, he had no conflicts with anyone else, and since there was an opportunity to understand the world better, there was no need to give it up.
But then again, as for which one to choose, he truly couldn’t make up his mind.
However, he could ask.
[ “Sister Shaya, do you know which faction is better to choose for docking after the tenth station?” ]
In a certain Station World.
Shaya was closing her eyes and silently praying.
Hearing the system’s special notification sound, she opened her eyes.
“The tenth station? Huh? Why is it only the tenth station now? I remember this kid came to my place many days ago, didn’t he already… at that time?”
Shaya tilted her head in confusion and replied:
[ “Yo, I thought you had forgotten about your sister. The tenth station? Are you kidding me, kid? It’s been five or six days since you and I parted ways, right? How can you possibly be only at the tenth station.” ]
[ “How could that be? If you don’t believe me, take a look.” ]
Ye Qiyan sent a screenshot of the email.
It had the date on it.
[ “? No, you?” ]
Seeing that Ye Qiyan wasn’t lying, Shaya was visibly stunned for a moment.
“In other words, he really upgraded to a Level 3 Train at the Fifth Station? And he even got a Module, along with things on the level of warning devices and storage units? What… what kind of luck is this?”
[ “Sister Shaya?” ]
Seeing that she hadn’t replied for a long time, Ye Qiyan sent another message.
[ “Ahem, it’s nothing, haha, I’m just dealing with a minor trouble. Congratulations, after passing the tenth Platform, you are a true Train Captain. As for the choice, I recommend the City of a Thousand Stars. That is the largest city-state in the Train world, where you can buy many things you can’t imagine.” ]
[ “Of course, besides that, there’s one more thing: I’ll also be heading to the City of a Thousand Stars soon, and I’ll give you something then.” ]
[ “What is it?” ]
[ “I’ll tell you when we meet. Oh right, since you’re going to the City of a Thousand Stars, take this.” ]
“Ding-ding—”
A new email reminder.
A medal engraved with the pattern of the Weeping Saint appeared in Ye Qiyan’s hand.
[ “When you reach the City of a Thousand Stars, take it to No. 44 Nakolo Street. It can give your Train a free high-grade maintenance.” ]
[ “Thank you.” ]
[ “There’s no need to be polite with me. I’m helping you simply because you are the owner of the blasphemy card.” ]
[ “I know, but I still want to thank you.” ]
Shaya crossed her legs, looked at the message sent by Ye Qiyan, and the corners of her mouth ticked up slightly.
[ “Ahem, I’m still busy. Is there anything else?” ]
Ye Qiyan hesitated for a moment.
[ “Yes, I obtained an item.” ]
[ “An item? Send a screenshot to let me see. Is there anything special about it?” ]
Ye Qiyan sent the screenshot of the Devil Card’s description over.
[ “?” ]
[ “?” ]
[ “Where did you get this thing from?” ]
[ “I picked it up by accident. Does this card have anything to do with the blasphemy card?” ]
[ “…” ]
Shaya’s eyelids twitched a few times.
Unable to stay calm, she crushed a doll. After taking quite a while to regain her composure, she sighed deeply and replied:
[ “It doesn’t matter, this is another set. Sigh, I hadn’t planned to tell you so early, but whatever, you’ve already passed the tenth station anyway.” ]
Organizing her words, Shaya continued:
[ “Take the blasphemy card in your hand as an example; its individual is unique, but that doesn’t mean only one exists. As far as I know so far, counting yours, there are seven blasphemy cards.” ]
[ “These seven cards are collectively classified under the ‘Blasphemy’ card sequence.” ]
[ “As for the Devil Card you picked up, it is one of the Devil card sequences. The difference is that there are only thirteen Devil card sequences in total, which is a fixed number. After the holder’s death, this card will randomly drift into a certain Station World to form ruins. You brat, you must have gotten it inside some ruins, and you call it picking it up—tell that to the ghosts.” ]
[ “Heh, I really did pick it up. I saw nobody wanted it, so I just took it along.” ]
Shaya rubbed her forehead in speechlessness.
[ “blasphemy card, Devil Card, Angel Card, Trump Card… There are some similar card sequences, and each card is a unique existence. Except for the blasphemy card, the quantities of the other card sequences are fixed. According to rumors that popped up from unknown places, if someone can collect all the cards of a card sequence, something special will happen. For example, after collecting the Devil Cards, can they summon a world-destroying demon or something?” ]
[ “Up to now, I don’t know of anyone who can completely collect a certain card sequence. However… I have heard that the RUN Corporation you mentioned earlier seems to be collecting a certain card sequence. Strangely enough, even I cannot find the location of that company’s headquarters. If you happen to run into them, you’d better be careful.” ]
card sequence…
Ye Qiyan took out both the blasphemy card and the Devil Card and placed them in his hands.
[ “What about the blasphemy card? What would happen if they are all collected?” ]
[ “Literally, Blasphemy against the gods.” ]
[ “?” ]
Shaya felt she had said a bit too much and sighed.
[ “Alright, this is not something you should worry about. Besides, nobody knows how many blasphemy cards there are in the card sequence even now; how could anyone collect them all? Don’t think too much, go have a good rest in the City of a Thousand Stars. There, you can dock for at least three days without continuing your adventures. If… Never mind, you’ll know when the time comes.” ]
[ “That’s it, I still have things to do.” ]
Shaya closed the private chat.
She leaned back on the church pew, momentarily lost in thought.
“Sister Nun, it’s ready.”
Tina’s voice came from not far away. The cute girl doll skipped over to Shaya, tilted her head, and looked at the other dolls she had smashed all over the floor.
“Sister Nun is bullying everyone again. Hurry up and fix everyone, or I won’t talk to you anymore.”
Shaya rubbed her head, casually pulled out a card engraved with a dark golden angel, and slashed it toward mid-air.
“Heal.”
The dolls were restored to their original state.
