Chapter 89
Chapter 89: Special?
A weapon without self-awareness, huh.
The existence of the Hunting Mechadragon could be considered as adding a bit of Courage to his survival in this world.
At least, if he were to encounter Train Conductor Seniors who had arrived in this world much earlier at some point, he wouldn’t be completely powerless to fight back.
The Hunting Mechadragon would become his greatest trump card, aside from the blasphemy card.
As for the rest of the upgrade rewards, for now he had only purchased the extended docking time of 5 hours.
The drum washing machine and the new Train weaponry were temporarily put on hold.
It wouldn’t be too late to buy them after he had more Train Coins.
He still had 26 Train Coins left.
“It’s completely not enough…”
Thinking carefully, there were simply too many places where he needed to spend Train Coins right now.
If this kept up, he would go bankrupt sooner or later.
“Such is the life of a pauper. Sigh, why are all these upgrade options so expensive?”
That being said, if they really gave him some cheap junk, he definitely wouldn’t be happy either.
In a pleasant mood, he returned to the Temperature-controlled carriage.
Today was the third day, and also the time when the vast majority of Train Captains in the same block would leave the station.
Taking advantage of the fact that they hadn’t reached the next station yet, Ye Qiyan brought up the public Chat Room, preparing to continue lurking.
Unexpectedly, he saw a somewhat surprising message.
[“Brothers, brothers, do you guys know?”]
[“We don’t know.”]
[“Shoo, shoo, shoo, don’t mess around upstairs. I’m in the City of a Thousand Stars. Last night, a terrorist organization attacked the treasury in the upper part of the city and snatched some things from inside. I heard it was seemingly to grab something specific.”]
[“Not only did I hear about it, I even saw it. Damn, last night scared the hell out of me. Do you guys know? When I saw those few angels, I really thought I had gone to heaven!”]
[“Angels? The kind from myths?”]
[“They looked pretty good anyway. Those angels surrounded a Train and had a fight with the big shots of the Prosecutor. Tsk tsk tsk, it’s said to have been extremely tragic, a lot of people died.”]
[“I really don’t understand what these people in terrorist organizations are after. Clearly, the big shots up above provided a safe residence for people like us. What a bunch of villains.”]
[“Provide a safe residence? Hehe~ You know what? Yesterday’s battle directly shattered a piece of space. That is the Lower District of the City of a Thousand Stars, and it’s filled entirely with failed Train Captains.”]
[“Shh, has the person upstairs gone mad? Didn’t you join a guild? The big shots in the guild all said it’s forbidden to mention matters of the Lower District. If you have a death wish, don’t drag everyone else in the block down with you!”]
Angels? A terrorist organization? Seizing things?
Ye Qiyan instantly thought of a person.
“Is it Shaya? So the reason she couldn’t enter the city to meet was because she had a fight with the Prosecutor of the City of a Thousand Stars? Angels… is it a card sequence?”
Thinking that his Devil Card could really summon a devil.
Then if there was an Angel Card, it wouldn’t be going too far to be able to summon an angel.
As a member of the Emperor Sequence Organization, he remembered hearing from Zhu Xingtu that Shaya’s card sequence was precisely the Angel Card.
Ye Qiyan’s curiosity was piqued. He was somewhat curious about what happened afterward, so he took out a bag of potato chips he got from Zhao Lin and continued lurking in the Chat Room with great relish.
However, after the warning from that person just now, no one else said any useful news, which left him somewhat disappointed.
Just as he was about to close the Chat Room, someone in his friends list sent him a message.
Zhao Lin: [“Brother Qiyan, someone borrowed 10 Train Coins from me today and used this as collateral. I shouldn’t be at a loss, right?”]
Glancing at the screenshot she sent, Ye Qiyan’s expression instantly turned weird.
This phone, why does it look a bit familiar?
Ye Qiyan: [“You’re not at a loss. Being able to use the system outside the Train, even if it’s only for chatting and the Trading Platform, is quite useful. However, who borrowed it from you?”]
[“A girl in the same block as you and me, her surname is Shangguan, and her name is Shangguan Yingxue. Her name sounds much nicer than mine. She said a profiteer wanted to sell her a Flame Stone. Sigh, I’m so envious. It would be great if a profiteer wanted to sell me a Flame Stone too.”]
Case solved. Turns out the money Shangguan Yingxue used to buy the stone was borrowed from Zhao Lin.
Why does this world feel so small?
However, it also seemed normal.
Back in the E-3 Block, the people who finally survived past the tenth station only numbered just over a thousand. Among these people, everyone knew very well who had ability and who was good for nothing.
It was normal for Shangguan Yingxue and Zhao Lin to have contact.
However, Zhao Lin wouldn’t know that if she hadn’t lent those ten Train Coins to Shangguan Yingxue, the one who would have obtained the purchase right for the Flame Stone should have been her.
Furthermore, what the heck is a profiteer?
He was a conscientious seller, alright?
“Should I tell her?”
Ye Qiyan thought with a bit of malicious humor.
“Forget it.”
Giving a light chuckle, he continued tapping on the Light Screen.
[“How was the harvest from the previous stop? It was a Lucky Platform, right?”]
He almost got crushed to death in the City of a Thousand Stars, so the luck at the next stop should be even better than before.
For this woman who wavered between Bad Luck and good luck, the harvest from the previous stop shouldn’t be small.
[“It’s alright, just six Level 3 items, some Train Coins, plus a tiny bit of resources. It’s nothing much~”]
That was what she said, but between the lines, that joy and showing off couldn’t be covered up no matter what.
[“Is there anything you want to sell?”]
[“Yes.”]
A screenshot was sent over.
[Advanced Coffee Beans (Level 3)]
[After brewing, it can accelerate the recovery rate of Mental Power and reduce fatigue]
[“This is pretty good, right? The recovery speed of Mental Power is so slow. In one of my previous Bad Luck Platforms, I was scared by a female ghost and lost a lot of Mental Power, taking two to three days to recover. With these coffee beans, it should only take two days to recover.”]
Hm?
Mental Power recovers very slowly?
He glanced at his own Mental Power attribute.
From the 50 points after the Sublimation Train, about an hour had passed until now, and it had already recovered to 70 points.
Although eating the White Forest Fruit also contributed to this, even without eating it, he wouldn’t have needed two or three days to recover his Mental Power in the beginning, right?
[“What is the recovery speed of your Mental Power?”]
[“Everyone is the same, right? At most, you can only recover 30 points a day, and that’s when you’re in a relatively good mood. Bad moods will also affect Mental Power recovery. What about you, Brother Qiyan? Could it be that there’s something different?”]
30 points? So little?
[“There’s nothing different, I was just curious if someone with a Talent like you would be different from us. You’re not keeping these coffee beans for yourself?”]
[“I have another bag.”]
[“Then 6 Train Coins?”]
[“Deal~!”]
Having obtained the coffee beans, Ye Qiyan’s mind wasn’t on this at all. He stroked his chin, unable to figure out the reason why his Mental Power recovered so fast.
If one were to say it was because of his Talent.
Didn’t Zhao Lin also have a Talent?
Unless Sublimation was special? Or was it that he himself was special?
