Chapter 93
Chapter 93 dragon card: wealth
Having resolved the dragon, there were no longer any obstacles.
Ye Qiyan summoned the processing bench.
He processed and recycled the metallic mixture before him.
“Mithril, gold, ordinary Metal… Not bad, all of these are somewhat useful things.”
Mounting the Hunting Mechadragon, taking advantage of the time that had not yet run out, Ye Qiyan took a spin in the air to experience the thrill of flight.
A special prompt Light Screen appeared before him.
“Hmm? What is this?”
[The Vigilant Sentry has detected the arrival of intruders, and the Monitor has already placed illusions on the units attempting to infiltrate the Train; please have the Train Captain handle this in a timely manner.]
On the surveillance screen, a man clad in knight armor was lying at the door of the Train, clutching a corpse.
Atush.
This fellow swam against the current and finally reached his Train, huh?
Furthermore, wanting to enter the Train?
He truly didn’t cherish his own life.
To be honest, this station was far too simple, to the point that he wanted to see whether Atush bringing that corpse along would trigger some other quests.
However, this fellow was somewhat ungrateful and actually wanted to infiltrate his Train.
Then he couldn’t be blamed.
Because of the initial instructions Ye Qiyan had given it, the Vigilant Sentry had not immediately attacked.
Ye Qiyan approved the attack request, after which the Light Screen dissipated, and he continued recycling these Metals.
In about an hour or so.
Ye Qiyan rode the Hunting Mechadragon back to the Train.
He glanced at the pool of red marks on the ground and curled his lips..
“Serves you right.”
Speaking of which, this was the first time the Monitor had been triggered.
Twelve stations in, and it was also the first time someone wanted to infiltrate his Train.
He dismounted from the Hunting Mechadragon.
Taking advantage of the fact that its normal mode had not yet ended, he stuffed the various Metals he brought back into the storage unit.
This place was still a bit too far from the dragon’s treasure cave; a round trip would take nearly two hours. Riding the Hunting Mechadragon could cut this time in half, but the Hunting Mechadragon consumed Train Coins, and he wasn’t extravagant to that extent yet.
“You’ve worked hard.”
He stroked the mechadragon’s iron head; just like Wall-E back then, it possessed no self-awareness whatsoever.
When the activation time ended, the Hunting Mechadragon entered a dormant state.
Ye Qiyan had it land on the roof of the Train in the end, where there was an energy generation device he had prepared long ago to charge it.
If it were any other Train Captain in the same batch as him, even if they owned a Hunting Mechadragon, they probably wouldn’t have the ability to afford keeping it.
It consumed both electricity and Train Coins.
The title of mechanical gold-swallowing beast fit it just right.
Anyway, there was still enough time; after sending the Hunting Mechadragon back.
He drove the Roadhog and headed toward the cave once more.
Beside that huge metallic fusion, the summoned processing bench continued working.
The Roadhog’s weight capacity was limited, so relying on it for back-and-forth transport was unrealistic.
Therefore, Ye Qiyan simply cleared out three spaces in the safety box temporarily to collect the recycled Metals, mithril, and gold.
However, collection and sorting also required manpower.
Thus, Ye Qiyan summoned the Raven Demon out once more to act as coolie labor.
“Using a demon as coolie labor, I suppose I’m quite the pioneer, heh heh.”
Under the silent efforts of the Raven Demon, over the course of several hours, they harvested a total of 2,300 kilograms of Metal, over 150 kilograms of mithril, and 89 kilograms of gold. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to collect more, but the processing bench’s recovery speed was limited to this.
Aside from that, he naturally hadn’t forgotten another equally important resource.
Although the dragon had been torn into fragments by the Hunting Mechadragon.
Its bones and chunks of flesh, when collected, also weighed quite a bit. These couldn’t rely on the safety boxes; Ye Qiyan personally drove the Roadhog for a few trips to send them back to the Train.
As for that skeleton, he couldn’t move it, but the Raven Demon could.
Therefore, it still had to be the one to move it.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but within the Raven Demon’s mindless eyes, Ye Qiyan seemed to see a hint of resentment.
Mhm, it must be an illusion.
If not for the fact that it couldn’t speak and possessed no intelligence of its own, otherwise, a dignified demon being treated as a porter was a complete humiliation to demonic existence.
After putting the dragon’s chunks of flesh and skeleton back, Ye Qiyan arrived at the treasure cave once more.
However, this time, a small square figure also crawled out of a corner, covered in dust.
“Wall-E? Right, why did you take so long this time, and where did you go looking? Could it be that the most precious thing in this Platform is not inside this treasure cave?”
Brushing the dust off Wall-E’s body, he watched as it extended a mechanical claw and pointed in a certain direction.
Then it grabbed his trouser leg and gently tugged twice.
“The treasure is over there, and then, you couldn’t get it?”
Wall-E nodded.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Abandoning the recycling, Ye Qiyan hauled Wall-E onto the front of the Roadhog.
Under its directional guidance.
They passed through a long, narrow passage, twisting and turning, constantly detouring, and ultimately ended up in another cave.
The cave was not particularly dark.
The surrounding walls were embedded with glowing gems.
Ye Qiyan pried off two pieces and threw them onto the Roadhog, planning to take them back to use as night lights.
However, that wasn’t important; within this cave, there existed a gigantic Altar shaped like a crouching dragon.
This Altar—he seemed to have seen something similar before.
What was it again?
Ye Qiyan reminisced for a moment in his mind.
“Wait, when I obtained Bewitchment back then, wasn’t it a similar Altar?”
The Demon Card: Bewitchment back then had been placed above an Inverted Cross Altar.
Now, could it be that on this dragon Altar?
Ye Qiyan’s thoughts grew somewhat fervent.
He stepped forward two paces and reached out to touch it. Sure enough, it was just like the Devil Card Altar from back then.
There existed that kind of formless Light Screen ahead.
To open the Altar seemed to require a key.
Naturally, he didn’t have a key.
However, this didn’t mean he couldn’t get in.
The blasphemy card manifested.
Target ahead.
“Anchor!”
Mental Power consumed, coordinates set.
Immediately following.
Immersion struck.
“Voyage!”
Blub blub——
The sound by his ears came and went; opening his eyes, he had already appeared inside the Altar.
“Hoo…”
Ascending the Altar.
Continuously moving upward along the ten-story-high stairs.
Until reaching the gigantic Platform at the very top.
Here, a smaller dragon-shaped Altar stood in the center.
“Just like that time.”
Ye Qiyan’s heartbeat was accelerating.
Everything matched up.
Then…
He walked forward, arriving at the edge of the small Altar.
Upon it, a dark golden card engraved with dragon patterns and gold coins was quietly floating there.
“As expected! It really is a card sequence!”
Ye Qiyan’s eyes lit up as he reached out and picked it up from the Altar.
Summoning the Light Screen, he began appraisal.
[dragon card: wealth]
[Wealth: Can obtain 5 Train Coins daily]
[Dragon: Low-level monsters will be unable to harm you.]
A simple and brutal effect.
But powerful enough!
Although the 5 Train Coins daily didn’t seem like much, it had the advantage of stability. Moreover, even if he went to some city later and didn’t enter a Platform, these 5 Train Coins would still be obtained.
Every little bit adds up; it was safe and reliable.
If some people seeking stability had to choose between this dragon card and his Devil Card.
Without a doubt, that person would definitely choose this.
Ye Qiyan didn’t need to choose.
Because all of this belonged to him.
