Chapter 85: Train Captain Module Card · Portable Armament

Potential exhausted.

Looking at the oversized hive in front of him that occupied more than half of the space in the planting carriage, Ye Qiyan fell into deep thought.

That feeling just now was definitely correct.

That comfortable feeling of a flash of insight was just like getting the character you wanted on your very first pull in a card-gacha game, rather than having to slowly accumulate pity points.

Why would this kind of situation happen?

Could it be that the Talent also has the function of self-growing into special effects?

“Let’s put this aside for now.”

Throwing the problem aside, Ye Qiyan had to face another issue.

This hive was simply too large; if he hadn’t upgraded the size of the carriage’s interior space not long ago, it probably could have directly filled up an entire aisle.

Even now, it still occupied a lot of space in the planting carriage.

Because of this, he simply consumed materials and built a new carriage specifically used to place the hive.

The carriage was built, but wanting to move over would still take some time.

The Beedrill inside the hive were a bit smaller compared to those in the animation. After Ye Qiyan gave the command, they dismantled the hive, carried the young Weedles and the queen bee, and entered the fifth carriage to settle down there.

The space was freed up, but this carriage was relatively ordinary. If they encountered severe weather, it would easily cause the Beedrills to get hurt.

Another Sublimation was still needed. It would be even better if it could turn into a space suitable for their survival; if not, at worst he could just buy a dedicated air conditioner later.

“Sublimation.”

Stamina and Mental Power began to drain.

That feeling of a flash of insight appeared once again.

[Comfortable New Carriage → Hive Carriage (Level 5)]

Under an invisible force, the shape of the fifth carriage began to change.

Many openings appeared on the carriage, and the entire carriage merged into one with the hive. Upon giving orders, the Beedrills in the nest would mobilize collectively for his use.

Furthermore, the hive came with self-adjusting temperature and gyroscope capabilities, allowing the Beedrills to have the most perfect living environment to reproduce.

Aside from consuming 10 kilograms of meat every day, it was simply a perfect combat carriage.

“I’ve struck gold! I didn’t expect a hive could turn out like this. But come to think of it, wasn’t I originally just trying to get some honey?”

Ye Qiyan smiled, took some honey to marinate chunks of meat.

He roasted them on the grill, sprinkled salt, flipped them over, and the sweet aroma of fat filled his nasal cavity.

Train stop countdown [00:31:28]

In the final half-hour, he called back Wall-E, who had been outside working hard to collect ice and snow, and pressed the departure button.

[Privilege triggered, beginning departure]

[Completed hidden quest: Release of Grudges from Forty-Seven Reincarnations]

A hidden quest, just like before at the apocalyptic town.

When Ye Qiyan solved that skull head, he already had a feeling it would be a hidden quest, except that the quest completion prompt never popped up.

[Obtained quest reward: Train Captain Module Card · Portable Armament]

[Portable Armament: After activating this Module, three armament-type props can be placed into the exclusive Armament Space to carry along]

Good stuff, and it was even a physical card that could undergo another Sublimation.

Until the Train left the Bewildering Snow Mountain, he extracted the reward. It was a card engraved with grids representing three weapon slots.

He glanced at his slightly recovered Mental Power. Was it an illusion, or did the recovery speed of Mental Power seem even faster after that flash of insight?

He silently chanted in his heart.

“Sublimation”

[Mental Power: 95 → 61]

Points consumed, the card in his hand underwent subtle changes, increasing from the original three squares to twelve.

[Advanced Train Captain Module Card · Portable Armament]

[Can place up to twelve armaments into the exclusive Armament Space]

Three slots turned into twelve slots.

With this, he no longer had to worry about only being able to select a portion of his weapons to carry because there were too many and they were too heavy.

Furthermore, a portion of the special storage space could be freed up.

In a sense, this directly added 12 special storage units for him.

Of course, storage units could infinitely stack a single object, whereas weapon slots could only hold one. There was still a big gap between the two.

He tested the retrieval speed and could instantly pull out weapons, which was no slower than placing them on his body.

This point was very good.

“Let me think, what things should I put in?”

First, there were the two guns, Ebony and skyhawk. Secondly, the blasphemy card and two Devil Cards could unexpectedly also be classified as the armament type, which already occupied five slots.

Next was the Rampage · Lightning Spear.

Although this thing had always been equipped on the Vigilant Sentry, all things considered, with the Great Compassion Heavy Machine Gun around, the use of this spear was relatively less.

Then after that was the six-barreled rotary grenade launcher obtained not long ago. As a large-scale destructive weapon, he originally thought about placing it in the turret carriage since it was unlikely to be carried out anyway. But now, with the Portable Armament Module, he didn’t need to think about that so much.

As for the Great Compassion Heavy Machine Gun on the Sentry, forget it for now. That thing suited the Sentry very well, so there was no need to take it down.

Ye Qiyan also very much wanted to put the pure purification stone inside, but unfortunately, it couldn’t be counted under the armament type.

But there was another item that he unexpectedly discovered could actually be put in.

CVO Roadhog.

Could that motorcycle actually be counted as an armament?

Hmm… thinking carefully, there wasn’t any problem either. If that thing accelerated with full force and hit a person, it would probably crush the person directly into minced meat.

Eight out of the twelve armament slots were filled, leaving four remaining. Ye Qiyan thought for a while, hesitated for a moment, and took out the Trickster Sword that the guide had given him back in the public trading Platform from the storage unit.

This weapon, which required consuming one’s own maximum Mental Power to attack, was also time to find a good buyer. However, being Level 6, how could he sell it without attracting too much attention from others?

Especially the people from the City of a Thousand Stars.

Those guys stipulated that props above Level 4 could not be sold, but Ye Qiyan felt that no matter what kind of rules there were, there would always be loopholes that could be broken.

He didn’t believe that just because it was regulated, no one would actually sell props above Level 4.

It was just that he didn’t know how to do it yet.

Should he ask Shaya?

“I wonder how she is doing right now.”

Hesitating for a moment, Ye Qiyan sent a message to the other party.

[“Are you there, Sister Shaya?”]

Moments later, the other party sent a response.

[“Playing a tower defense game. What’s wrong, didn’t you miss your big sister since you haven’t seen me?”]

[“I missed you, I want to ask you a question.”]

City of a Thousand Stars, the hidden Lower District.

Shaya’s Train stopped here.

Outside her Train, nine angels of various forms were fighting against the inspectors of the City of a Thousand Stars.

Inside the church, looking at the content on the Light Screen, the corners of Shaya’s mouth curled up slightly.

[“Ask away, but time is short. I’ll only answer one question for you, think it through before asking.”]
