Chapter 95: Zhu Xingtu’s Invitation
Thump-thump, thump-thump——
Returning to the wilderness, it was already the early hours of the second day.
[Completed Hidden Quest: Dragon Slayer]
[Obtained Quest Reward: Title · Dragon Slayer]
[Dragon Slayer]: After equipping, deals more damage to dragon-type monsters.
Ye Qiyan yawned, unexpectedly finding himself unable to fall asleep.
He climbed onto the roof of the Train, and on both sides, those monsters that should have attacked seemed to feel a certain pressure and stopped in place.
That was the power of another effect of the dragon card.
Basking in the moonlight and eating a White Forest Fruit, Ye Qiyan suddenly thought of something.
“The stopping time is getting longer and longer. If this continues, when the stopping time reaches 24 hours in the future, won’t I have to run continuously?”
Not only that, what if it exceeds 24 hours in the future?
Surely I wouldn’t be forcibly driven to the next station before this stop is even over, right?
Should I ask?
Ye Qiyan looked at that name in his friends list.
But before he could make a decision, a private message suddenly popped up.
[“Hello, Ye Qiyan~ Do you remember me?”]
The person sending the message wasn’t Shaya, but Zhu Xingtu, whom she called a Charlatan, and the founder of the Emperor Sequence Organization.
“It’s her?”
“She came looking for me right after I acquired a card. Could it be that she knows?”
Ye Qiyan pondered slightly.
If this were true, would this woman know that he already possessed the complete blasphemy card?
Without waiting for a reply, Zhu Xingtu sent another message.
[“The Emperor Sequence Organization is going to hold an event recently. Fate tells me that although you are a newcomer, you are very suitable to participate. Fate tells me that you haven’t fallen asleep yet, so don’t lurk and reply to me~”]
An event?
He thought of those words he saw earlier in the Chat Room.
Could it be that they’re going to carry out some kind of raid?
[“I’m here. What kind of event is it? I’m still just a newcomer, I might not be able to help you all, right?”]
[“Of course you can~ Newcomer, after leaving the 10 beginner stations, you are no longer a newcomer. As a member of the organization, it’s really too much of a pity not to come and participate in group activities. After this event ends, I will give you a new Devil Card, so come and participate.”]
A new mail appeared in his mailbox.
Opening it to take a look, it turned out to be a bronze-colored card.
[Solomon City Invitation Card]
[After using this card, the next stop will be Solomon City, and you will stay there for 1-10 days.]
It was an unfamiliar place; well, he hadn’t known many places to begin with.
Should he go?
Fiddling with the invitation card in his hand, Ye Qiyan quickly made a decision.
[“Alright, I will go, but can you tell me what I will be going to do?”]
[“Go release some things from this city.”]
[“What are they?”]
[“You’ll know when the time comes. Fate tells me that your existence can help us, hehe~”]
A riddle maker, no wonder she was called a Charlatan.
Furthermore, could he help?
What kind of help?
Earlier in the City of a Thousand Stars, the battle between that senior prosecutor and Fan Huo was still vivid in his mind.
That was not something he could meddle in.
[“Alright, right, there is something I don’t quite understand and would like to ask for your guidance.”]
Anyway, since they had already talked to this point, rather than bothering Shaya again, it was better to ask her directly.
Ye Qiyan stated his confusion regarding the stopping time.
In a certain building.
Zhu Xingtu slightly opened her eyes.
[“Although I really want to say that you will know once you have 24 hours of stopping time, but forget it, fate tells me that you don’t seem to like riddle makers.”]
[“…”]
[“Just joking, don’t mind it. Your problem is correct. After the stopping time reaches 24 hours, the time for the Train to enter the next station will be revised once. Instead of the original 1 PM daily, it can be revised to enter the next station at any time within three days after leaving each station. Moreover, you can freely enter and exit those cities, and even stop the Train in the wilderness~”]
Stop the Train in the wilderness?
Ye Qiyan’s gaze looked towards the endless horizon in the distance.
What on earth was beyond that?
[“I see. Then, can stopping time be purchased directly?”]
[“Hm? Ya~ You have pretty good luck, you obtained tradable stopping time?”]
[“Consider it so. Is that thing very valuable?”]
[“Hehe~ Each hour of tradable stopping time can be sold for 30 Train Coins~”]
[“???”]
How much?
30?
Then wouldn’t those five hours he used earlier be worth 150 Train Coins?
Hiss!
[“Is it really that expensive?”]
[“Of course, this is a very rare tradable special Module, hehe~ Do you feel heartbroken for using it up? There’s no need for that. As your Train level increases, the Train stopping time will become increasingly harder to obtain. While your level is not high, increasing it more is a good thing.”]
Zhu Xingtu wasn’t comforting him; she was stating a fact.
But thinking of those 150 Train Coins, Ye Qiyan still felt a pang of heartache.
[“Thanks for the explanation. I will head to Solomon City at the next stop. Where should we gather then?”]
[“No need~”]
[“?”]
[“Fate will make you help us inadvertently, so you just need to enter that city, and that will be enough. After entering the city, do whatever you want, you don’t need to come looking for us. After you leave, I will hand a Devil Card over to you.”]
Just entering the city counts as helping?
How could Ye Qiyan not feel that he had such great ability?
However, forget it; anyway, since there were cards to get, he wouldn’t lose out no matter what.
[“Understood.”]
The chat ended.
Endless stars gradually emerged in Zhu Xingtu’s eyes.
She pressed her hands together, then gently stroked the astrolabe in front of her.
The stars receded, revealing her original eyes, but there were a few more hints of doubt within them.
“Still unable to find the owner of that blasphemy card? Hmm… I can’t figure it out, and also… hmm?”
Around Zhu Xingtu’s body, among a dozen different card sequences, two card sequences were glowing slightly.
“Devil, that’s the card sequence he already possesses, but… the dragon card? Oh my, it duplicates with someone in the organization, hehe~ I hope they don’t start fighting over a card sequence.”
Although she said that, it wasn’t hard to tell from her expression full of joy that she seemed very much to look forward to this happening.
“If I give this dragon card to Brother Ye, would that dragon-sexual be angered to death~? It’s estimated it would be very interesting, hmm… But that dragon-sexual can’t beat Shaya. Forget it, if she gets killed by Shaya, there would be one less person working.”
Zhu Xingtu shook her head with some pity.
The card sequence fell down.
Amidst this, a special dark golden card was still floating in mid-air.
On the card, surrounded by stars, a woman whose face was obscured by a hood was lifelike.
If Ye Qiyan were here, it wouldn’t be hard to see that this card had a few similarities with his the anchor.
