Although he didn't quite understand why Zhao Xi was asking him this question.
But, how should he put it?
Ye Qiyan thought for a moment, and finally replied:
["There really isn't much interesting about the city."]
After a long while, Zhao Xi sent a message.
["...Hmm."]
The conversation ended there.
Ye Qiyan exchanged a few more words with Zhao Lin and learned that she had found a treasure chest at the previous station, but it didn't contain particularly outstanding items.
Compared to before, it was much worse.
Indeed, without Misfortune, her luck was no longer as overwhelmingly powerful and bizarre as before.
Is this the price of stability?
But for someone like Zhao Lin.
Perhaps, it's not so bad?
It was still early, and his mental and physical stats on his personal information had recovered to full.
Today, he had something very expensive to do.
[Blueprint·GT-EX Mind Robot]
This was the blueprint that had cost him the most resources since arriving in this world just to collect the materials.
He wanted to see what kind of marvel would emerge once it was completed.
Mind Magic Cube ×1, Mechanical Parts ×3000, Metal ×3000kg, Gold ×100kg, Mithril ×60kg, Advanced Electronic Components ×500.
All the materials placed around the blueprint made this train car feel relatively crowded.
Ye Qiyan felt a pang of heartache.
"This is ridiculously expensive. Will all future advanced blueprints be priced like this?"
"No wonder people like Qin Qiang needed an entire guild to support just one advanced Train Conductor before..."
An eighth-level treasure chest only yielded 16 Train Coins when opened.
The cost of this single blueprint—without selling resources—who knows how long it would take to accumulate that amount.
And those treasure chests existing in the stations were all hidden in places ordinary people could never find. Under these circumstances.
It's not hard to understand why ordinary Train Conductors like Qin Qiang could only reach levels six or seven after many years.
"Haa...."
Ye Qiyan took a deep breath and began manufacturing.
All the materials decomposed on their own.
The Processing Station emitted continuous clinking sounds.
They floated in the air.
The Mind Magic Cube stood at the center.
The Mechanical Parts twisted and deformed.
Various materials began combining with each other.
The mechanical roar made Eve, who habitually stayed on the train roof, and WALL-E, who was sweeping, both come over involuntarily.
The manufacturing time was much longer than expected.
One, two, three, four hours.
Finally, a humanoid-shaped prototype appeared before Ye Qiyan.
But, was that not enough?
The materials were completely exhausted, but this robot didn't look like a successful creation at all.
What's going on?
Wait...
That blueprint floated before Ye Qiyan, as if with some malice, a light screen appeared before his eyes.
[First stage manufacturing completed. Second stage manufacturing unlocked. This blueprint requires consuming a large amount of Train Coins and one point of mental energy to forge GT-EX's body and self-awareness. If consumption is not performed, manufacturing will complete in this state. Subsequent manufacturing will reduce its intelligence and partial capabilities.]
In one sentence.
It wanted money.
But this wasn't mentioned before manufacturing began.
"System, explain this. The blueprint didn't mention any second stage manufacturing requirements."
Another light screen appeared, and the train system intelligence replied:
"This requirement is a special property retained when this blueprint was designed, unrelated to the train system."
In other words.
This malice was inherent to the GT series itself?
No wonder there was this blueprint with "EX" in its name among the eighth-level upgrade options.
He thought the final work of the GT series was only eighth level.
Now it seemed, without spending additional Train Coins to unlock the second stage, it really was only eighth level.
Eighth level isn't low.
Once manufactured, it would already be very powerful.
But...
Why did it feel so unsatisfying?
Clearly it could be better, but even if it could be supplemented later, what was lost today could never be recovered.
"Who designed this blueprint?"
"The world where the GT series mechanical constructs appeared has been destroyed."
"Tch."
Ye Qiyan frowned, looking at the blueprint floating in mid-air and the prototype of this machine. Suddenly, an idea emerged in his mind.
The corner of his mouth curved upward as he looked at the train system's light screen and asked:
"Blueprints count as items too, right?"
The train system answered without hesitation:
"They do."
"Then~"
A smile reappeared on Ye Qiyan's face.
He reached out his hand and pressed it on the machine prototype.
"Module triggered."
Outside the train, waves of dark golden light converged toward Ye Qiyan's direction.
You want money, right?
It counts as an item, right?
Fine!
Then.
"Major Consumption Reduction!"
Dark golden light points were continuously absorbed from all directions.
This was the Wasteland.
Not a Station World.
Here, "everything" was endless! Inexhaustible!
Since it didn't specify how many Train Coins were needed to enhance this robot.
Then use the "everything" in the Wasteland to fill it to the brim!
Absorb! Absorb! The Wasteland was unsparing of its "everything."
Dark golden radiance poured into the machine's interior.
The driving sound resounded through the heavens!
The world's "everything" was being forcibly collected by Ye Qiyan!
These light points, no, this radiance—what was their value in Train Coins?
Immeasurable!
Pouring in, filling!
The robot that was only a prototype was as if wrapped in a golden cocoon, its original form completely invisible.
This radiance continued for a full hour.
They still surged in endlessly, except that the seemingly limitless machine could no longer continue absorbing.
It was filled.
Bzzz—!
Boom—!
A thunderous roar sounded in the sky.
That blueprint was burned away without a trace in the golden radiance, not even ashes remaining.
Everything dissipated~
Leaving only the robot wrapped in a golden cocoon before Ye Qiyan.
He wanted to reach out and touch it, but the system's light screen appeared at this moment in flowing gold.
[Due to the influence of your talent.]
[And, the GT-EX Mind Robot's own capacity threshold has been broken. It has completely surpassed the design limits in the blueprint. Therefore, this mechanical construct's connection to the original blueprint is completely denied. It will become a unique, brand new mechanical construct.]
[The system automatically judges that this series of constructs will possess a special designation]
[Absolute Supreme]
[The suffix, please be bestowed exclusively by Train Conductor Ye Qiyan.]
[Moreover, because you have exerted absolute influence upon it, this mechanical construct will adapt to a form and personality more suitable for you.]
[After bestowing the suffix, you can name it separately, or allow it to name itself.]
[It, was constructed by you.]
[Absolute loyalty! Eternal binding! Unique! Unreplicable!]
"Hah..."
Line after line of text on the light screen impacted Ye Qiyan's eyes.
Success!
Without a doubt, within the light cocoon before him was a completely new existence with no relation to that GT-EX Mind Robot.
Absolute Supreme? Naming suffix?
Ye Qiyan gently stroked the light cocoon before him.
It was expensive—judging by the scale of light absorption just now, if converted to Train Coins, it would probably be an astronomical figure.
All of this came from the world.
Its value deserved an "Absolute Supreme" designation.
In that case...
On the light screen, Ye Qiyan wrote the exclusive suffix.
[Absolute Supreme·Perfected World]
Suffix naming successful—
That perfectly flawless human form emerged from the cocoon.
