Chapter 74
Chapter 74: His Train Has 5 Levels
The impact of the battle between Fan Huo and that gear-playing Senior Inquisitor last night was much greater than expected.
Sitting on a rented flying carpet, several nearby streets suffered varying degrees of damage.
Some corpses covered with white cloths were carried out from the ruins.
Judging from the shapes of those gaps, it seemed most of them were smashed out by that Senior Inquisitor’s gears.
On the contrary, Fan Huo did not cause too many casualties.
No. 44 Nakolo Street.
Pushing open the heavy door and walking into the church, that uncle priest was cleaning the floor.
Seeing the two of them approaching, he revealed a kind smile.
“You’ve come. Your Train has been maintained. Let’s go, come with me to take a look.”
Smiling Tiger.
This was what Fan Huo called this uncle priest.
Thinking of what Shaya said about how there were no normal people in the Emperor Sequence Organization.
Ye Qiyan was a bit more cautious than last time.
Behind the church.
There were two Trains in that station. Among them, a Train that felt somewhat familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar caught Ye Qiyan’s gaze.
“Is this my Train?”
“What, don’t you recognize it anymore?”
The uncle priest said with a beaming smile.
Clean, brand new, tidy, and balanced.
This was Ye Qiyan’s first impression of the Train in front of him.
The carriages and engine, which were originally not completely identical in size, had now become the same specification.
The outer layer of the Train changed from the originally rusty Metal to a brand-new steel color.
Ye Qiyan walked forward and reached out to touch it.
The Train’s details emerged before his eyes.
[Train Conductor Ye Qiyan]
[Train · Brand New Factory Release]
[All carriages will have a uniform specification]
[Train durability restored to maximum value]
“Durability?”
The uncle priest gazed at Ye Qiyan with a beaming smile.
“Hehe~ You can think of it as your Train’s health points. It’s no big deal and basically useless. Right, I wonder if you have anything that can make Train coatings? By the way, I can change the Train’s skin color for you.”
“Coatings? It seems I really do have some.”
Ye Qiyan suddenly thought of something and walked inside the Train. Although the size of the carriages had become regular, the internal space had not changed.
He took out a box.
“Do you think these will do?”
[Soft Ruby] (Level 1)
[White Leaf] (Level 1) [White Stone] (Level 1)
The former was one of the rewards obtained in Quiet Rain Manor.
The latter were collected by Wall-E in the White Forest.
“Red and white, huh~ Hehe, alright. Which color do you want to choose as the main color?”
“White, let’s go with white.”
The leaves and stones were thrown into a machine.
Soon, a wooden bucket was filled with white pigment.
The uncle priest reached out, touched it, and splashed it forward.
The outer skin of the Train gradually turned white, and the transformation was completed in no time.
“It seems my craftsmanship is not bad.”
He nodded, adjusted his monocle with his hand, and turned to look at Ye Qiyan.
“Speaking of which, I haven’t introduced myself yet. Holmes Ryan, everyone calls me Ryan. If there is nothing else, you can take your Train and leave.”
Ryan, Ye Qiyan remembered this person’s name in the Chat Room.
Sure enough, he was also a member of the Emperor Sequence Organization.
“Thanks a lot, I’ll leave right now.”
Using the key, he teleported the Train back to the main gate of the City of a Thousand Stars.
Ye Qiyan left this place with Zhao Lin without any hesitation.
This guy named Ryan made people somewhat uncomfortable, but if forced to say where the discomfort came from, he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
After the two left, the smile on Ryan’s face remained undiminished as his gaze fell upon the other Train.
The man biting a cigar opened the Train window with a cold expression.
“Put that smile away, it’s disgusting.”
“Brother Fan Huo, I don’t like hearing you say that. There’s a saying that one shouldn’t hit a smiling person. As long as I keep smiling, won’t no one be able to hit me? Hehehe~ Speaking of which, how were your gains yesterday? The lackeys of Sloth accidentally killed over five hundred people and destroyed five streets just to chase you; that’s truly a big move.”
Fan Huo smoked the cigar down to the butt and lit another one.
“Among those five hundred people, more than three hundred were vagrants in the city who were unwilling to be driven into the Lower District. Many of the destroyed buildings in the five streets were meant to be bought at low prices and resold. Who do you think profited?”
“Hehe, I wouldn’t know about that. I only know you got chased and smashed across five streets.”
Seeing that Fan Huo ignored his banter, Ryan gradually restrained his smile and asked in a flat tone:
“What do you think of that kid just now?”
“His Train is at Level 5… Can you imagine? A Train that just left the beginner period is at Level 5… Although there’s a high probability that woman Shaya would give him a Flame Stone, what about the Level 5 materials? Where did he get those?”
Fan Huo smoked his cigar in silence.
After a long time, he spat out a single sentence.
“How did that saying go again?”
“What?”
“Infinite worlds hold infinite possibilities. He was able to free Shaya from that abstract and outrageous seal. What kind of Talent do you think he has?”
“Ghost knows. Except for the most common ones, Talent varies from person to person. Compared to that, I’m more curious about the blasphemy card fragments in that crazy woman’s hands. Should we try to snatch them from her? Fifteen years’ time, I don’t think I’m any weaker than that woman.”
Fan Huo took off his sunglasses and looked at Ryan with a strange gaze.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Looking at an idiot. Did you forget that woman’s Angel Card sequence? That thing is completely unkillable; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been sealed in the first place.”
“Well, that’s a real pity…”
Although items above Level 4 couldn’t be bought in the City of a Thousand Stars, conversely, items below Level 4 were available in abundance.
Ye Qiyan was making purchases in the mall.
An oven, a large Level 3 water purification device, plus a whole bottle of 500L plant nutrient solution.
Spending the Train Coins in his hand until only 5 were left, the purchased items were sent directly via mail to the tunnel capsule where the Train was located, and he could equip them directly after boarding the Train.
In this city, as long as one had money, they could live a quite decent life.
But if one had no money, it was a completely different story.
Other Train Captains in the same block were complaining bitterly in the Chat Room.
[“Damn, why does everything in this city cost money? Even going to the toilet requires payment. What the heck, where am I supposed to get Train Coins?”]
[“Good thing I kept some Train Coins beforehand. The materials here are much cheaper than those profiteers. Heh, upgrading straight to Level 3, but where on earth do we get this Level 4 Flame Stone?”]
[“That thing can only be obtained by joining a guild. I’ve already joined one.”]
[“I also joined a guild, and those people want me to turn in all the resources inside the Train. Now I can’t even quit. You guys must be careful!”]
[“Stop talking, be careful of getting caught.”]
[“MD, can someone lend me some Train Coins! I’ll pay you back double in a moment!”]
[“Don’t believe the guy upstairs. He gambled until only a single engine car was left in the casino of Lakevi. Lending to him is throwing money down the drain.”]
[“Gambling dogs must die.”]
[“Sigh, I really want to buy some fried chicken to eat, but it’s so expensive. Can anyone actually afford it?”]
[“Is anyone in the City of a Thousand Stars? I took a taxi, but halfway there I ran out of money, and the driver dumped me halfway. Now I can’t find my way back at all. I heard from others that if we don’t leave immediately when the three-day departure time arrives, we’ll be judged as vagrants and get arrested!”]
