Chapter 94: Harvest at This Station
“I’ve made a profit, I’ve made a profit.”
Ye Qiyan was in a good mood.
He walked down the Altar and waved at Wall-E, who was still waiting outside.
“Let’s head back. I’ll wait for you at the Train.”
Wall-E nodded, looking as though it half-understood, and turned to leave.
Until its figure disappeared, Ye Qiyan took out the anchor again and waited for a while until the cooldown ended.
“Voyage——”
The feeling of immersion surfaced.
The whispers by his ear seemed a bit clearer.
————
Tick-tock.
RUN Corporation upper management.
A woman with heavy dark circles frowned. On the starlight compass in her hand, a speck of starlight was gradually dimming.
“Another card sequence has been taken away? Such fast movements. Strange, in the past, very few of those guys could find the card sequences in these low-level Platforms. High-level Train Captains shouldn’t even visit these low-level Platforms, yet two of them have disappeared in one go over these past few days?”
She thought for a moment, picked up a cup of coffee, and drank it all in one gulp.
“How is the matter I asked you to investigate coming along? Has any Train Captain above level 30 ever visited that Platform?”
In the shadows, a heavy voice replied:
“No traces of any high-level Train Captain entering have been found. In the past ten days, that Platform World has only had 135 newcomers or Train Captains who have just broken through the newcomer stage stopping by; they do not possess the ability to open the card sequence Altar.”
“Tch.”
The woman clicked her tongue resentfully.
“In other words, in the current Altars, there will be situations where there is no card sequence?”
“That is indeed the case. Perhaps the card sequence has undergone some change unknown to us. After all, we never knew enough about them to begin with. The ones who truly understand these things are still those organizations that have existed since the past.”
“Hmph. Oh right, how has the Emperor Sequence Organization been recently? Why did those guys suddenly start investigating us?”
The woman brewed herself another cup of coffee, without adding sugar.
“An Angel of the Emperor Sequence Organization recently lifted her seal. She went to the City of a Thousand Stars, snatched back an Angel Card that was originally seized, and eliminated thirty-seven senior prosecutors and one top-tier prosecutor. The City of a Thousand Stars is quite furious and has placed a bounty of 100k Train Coins on her. Boss, should we…”
“Forget it, I’m not short of these 100k anyway. Ahem, it’s not that I’m afraid of that female lunatic.”
“Yes, Boss, we aren’t afraid…”
There was a moment of silence in the office.
The woman drank her coffee dry once again.
“Then, recently, are there any traces of a blasphemy card?”
The voice in the shadows fell silent for a moment.
“You know, although RUN Corporation has influenced many low-level Platform Worlds, we cannot influence those high-level worlds where blasphemy cards are more likely to appear, so…”
“Saying so much nonsense just means there are completely no traces of a blasphemy card, right?”
“Yes.”
The woman rubbed the space between her eyebrows.
Holding her coffee, she didn’t drink it for a long time.
After a while, she silently put down her coffee cup.
She drew a triangular fragment from her chest.
“You know, it has been twelve years since I obtained this fragment. Everyone says that a blasphemy card will come to find its master on its own, but why hasn’t my blasphemy card come to find me?”
“…”
The person in the shadows did not respond.
“Continue to step up the search. My fragment was found in a low-level Platform. What relatively higher probability? I don’t believe it. Besides, how is it that for so many years, not even a single fragment has been produced? A short while ago, another holder of a blasphemy card appeared. Others can collect them, why can’t I?”
“Yes.”
Only the sound of drinking coffee remained in the office.

Returning to the Train.
Ye Qiyan placed the dragon card on the device at the front of the Train that had once bound the system.
Specks of dark golden brilliance condensed out of thin air, and 5 Train Coins slowly emerged.
“A guaranteed profit with no losses, it’s so touching.”
Just think about his other props.
They either consumed Mental Power, consumed Stamina, or consumed Train Coins.
Which of them was as worry-free for him as this dragon card?
He pulled up the system and glanced at the docking countdown.
[1:33:33]
“Did this stop actually take this long?”
Ye Qiyan rubbed his chin. You must know he had a full 15 hours.
If it hadn’t been for the 5-hour increase in docking time obtained after the previous Train upgrade, it probably wouldn’t have been enough at all.
“Well, it’s about right.”
Wall-E hadn’t found a Treasure Chest, but in a sense, it had found something even more precious than a Treasure Chest.
There was no doubt about this.
Even after Sublimation, a Treasure Chest from a level 6 Platform was at most level 7.
And this kind of unranked card sequence possessed power and special abilities far more precious than anything inside a Treasure Chest.
While waiting for Wall-E to return, Ye Qiyan tallied up the final harvest of this stop.
Metal, mithril, and gold had already been sorted.
As for Train Coins at this stop, even without opening Treasure Chests, he had gained quite a few.
He got 15 from the princess whose body was possessed by the dragon, and another 5 from the daily Train Coin acquisition of the dragon card. Deducting the consumption, he now possessed 38 Train Coins again.
He could actually buy the remaining two items in the upgrade options as well.
A drum washing machine and Train Armament: Wealth Shield.
With some heartache, he spent 25 Train Coins, leaving 13 remaining.
“It’s completely not enough to spend… But fortunately, at least there is a stable output.”
The appearance of the dragon card was undoubtedly a reassuring pill.
At least he didn’t have to worry about failing to obtain Train Coins at a certain stop due to not finding a Treasure Chest or other reasons.
Besides that.
After recycling the corpse of that dragon, he obtained a total of 500 kilograms of dragon meat, an entire dragon skeleton, and some dragon blood.
The Hunting Mechadragon’s attack power was too strong, resulting in the loss of quite a lot of meat chunks and blood.
However, that wasn’t much of a pity either.
Aside from that, he also picked up a few useless gemstones from the dragon’s treasure cave, taking them back as ornaments to decorate the Train.
Although time was ample, he did not make another round trip.
Until Wall-E came back waddling swayingly.
Ye Qiyan patted its head.
“You’ve worked hard. This stop was also thanks to you.”
Wall-E happily spun around a few times and pointed at the charging device.
“Go on, go on, charge as much as you want.”
Its only joys were just these.
Its master’s reward and charging.
The Hunting Mechadragon’s charging had also ended.
Just using normal mode once wouldn’t cause it much wear and tear.
However, there was still some trouble. To get rid of this trouble, either he continued to consume Train Coins, or he had to find a way to get a prop that could directly serve as a power source to place on the Mechadragon.
“No need to rush, there always will be.”
He put the Hunting Mechadragon back into the Armament Space.
Looking at the last remaining 30-minute countdown.
This stop came to an end.
“Depart.”
