After some consideration, Ye Qiyan made his decision.
He was currently in the Stellar Core Arena, and judging from the previous special restrictions, the opponents he would face next would be much stronger than before.
The enemies themselves weren't really a problem, as his current abilities should be sufficient to pass the Level 8 Platform.
But those strange, bizarre restrictions that basically only limited him - who knew what other nonsense they might come up with?
So in the current situation, the first option, the Demon Card coordinates, was the least necessary thing to purchase immediately.
He had no idea what level the Station World containing the Demon Card coordinates would be.
Moreover, he wasn't just staying here to complete the trials.
More importantly, WALL-E still hadn't pressed the return button.
Before that happened, even if he achieved 12 consecutive victories, he absolutely wouldn't leave.
Facing those increasingly harsh rules, and not knowing what kind of monsters and demons might emerge to compete with him in the future...
Enhancing his non-trump card, routine combat power was currently the optimal choice.
As for the fourth option...
He currently had eight hundred and thirty-five Train Coins. While the enhancement for the Blasphemy Card was good, he didn't really need additional anchor points that badly at the moment.
His three current anchor points were located in the arena from his eight consecutive victories, the Wasteland, and the locomotive section of his train.
Unless he encountered another god and needed to use banishment, these three anchor points were sufficient for now.
Of course, only for now.
He would definitely acquire all four options eventually, it was just a matter of priority when he didn't have enough Train Coins.
"Purchase options two and three."
Six hundred and sixty-six Train Coins transformed into dark golden light particles around him, merging into the shop interface.
The two options transformed into two streams of light of different colors, forming two different light screens on either side of his body.
The left one was black.
Enhancing his non-trump card, normalized combat power was currently the optimal choice.
[Acquired additional modules: Gun Fu, Firearms Mastery...]
Having initially obtained Judgment of Gunfire and progressing down the path of a gunslinger, the moment he acquired this module named Sky-Plundering Wings.
Ye Qiyan's understanding of firearms reached a whole new level.
Sky-Plundering Wings - this didn't seem to be just a module alone.
It seemed to also represent his current state~
Sweeping across the heavens, spreading his wings, advancing ceaselessly through the wasteland.
Next came the other option.
It appeared on the right side, the light screen pure white.
[Acquired: [Mechanism·Celestial Realm Fantasy]]
[Mechanism·Celestial Realm Fantasy]
[Please equip this to a humanoid mechanical lifeform.]
It looked the same as in the option shop.
Fortunately, Lisette was right beside him, so Ye Qiyan directly pushed it toward her.
"Although I don't think it suits you very well, you're the only one who can use it for now."
Ye Qiyan had just finished speaking, but the moment Lisette touched this weapon.
The original beam cannon suddenly began to transform.
A fissure split down the middle, eventually forming two spikes, one long and one short, resembling the hour and minute hands on a clock, or like two different extended versions of conductor's batons.
The long one was pure white, while the short one was white mixed with some azure blue.
"It can transform like this?"
Ye Qiyan was somewhat surprised.
He suddenly remembered the description of this weapon he had seen in the option shop.
[Dedicated weapon for humanoid mechanical lifeforms. When equipped, it will self-manifest according to the lifeform's abilities and level.]
So this is what "self-manifest" means?
Curious, Ye Qiyan called up the appraisal interface.
[Mechanism·Celestial Realm Fantasy·Movement]
[The self-manifestation that occurred after the base form was equipped to the unique Absolute Supreme series mechanical lifeform, Absolute Supreme·Perfected World·Lisette]
[Two movements]
[First Movement Sonata: Pure white spike that can release spiritual wave blades by consuming mental energy]
[Second Movement Resonance: White and azure blue short spike that, when mental energy is consumed to 1 point (minimum consumption 200 points), opens the Chrono Pavilion]
The first ability was easy to understand, but what did the second one mean?
Chrono Pavilion?
Another name he had never heard before.
"Do you know what that is?"
Lisette shook her head.
"Alright, why am I asking you about something even I don't know? 200 points - your mental energy has synchronized with mine to 210. Want to give it a try?"
Lisette nodded.
She walked outside the train.
Raised the short spike.
Immediately, her mental energy rapidly depleted.
The spike drew a perfect circle in the air.
A mechanical device composed of various completely unseen parts, assembled in an extremely complex manner, and only the size of a baby's fist, flew out.
Just looking at it made Ye Qiyan somewhat dizzy.
Not for any other reason, but simply because it was too complex.
"What the hell is this thing?"
Lisette brought back this mechanical device called the Chrono Pavilion.
Playing with it in her palm for a bit, this complex and precise mechanical device vaguely resembled something clock-related.
Appraise.
[Chrono Pavilion]
[Unable to appraise--]
"???"
This was the first time the system's appraisal function had displayed "unable to appraise."
But this thing was clearly purchased from the system's option shop! Why would this happen?
Deep in thought...
Then... completely unable to figure it out.
Ye Qiyan rubbed his forehead and tossed the Chrono Pavilion back to Lisette.
"It's getting more and more incomprehensible... why does this world have so many secrets?"
"But..."
He suddenly smiled.
"It feels like it would be quite interesting if I could keep exploring the answers to various mysteries."
Ye Qiyan did find it troublesome, but that didn't mean he would stop seeking answers.
With the upgrade options purchased.
Closing the shop interface, he had one hundred and sixty-nine Train Coins left.
The amount needed for the Demon Card coordinates and [New Anchor] was one thousand and fifty-two.
The remaining Train Coins might seem like a lot, but he actually felt completely broke.
"This is tough~ That's way too much. If I hadn't gotten five hundred from the Guide, I wouldn't even have been able to gather the previous eight hundred and thirty-five."
"Maybe I should sell some stuff?"
Unlike the Chat System which couldn't be used due to time flow differences, the black market trading system worked fine.
During the previous arena battles, while the enemies had all become fertilizer and feed for plants and animals, Ye Qiyan had kept all their weapons.
Like the morning star from that Shark-man at the very beginning - that thing was still a level 6 weapon.
And in the most recent battle, the weapon used by the Ember God's Apostle was even level 8.
If he sold these things, he should be able to get quite a few Train Coins, right?
