"Everything's fine."

Zhao Lin seemed to have been waiting by the system console the whole time. Seeing the message from Ye Qiyan, she immediately tapped the Light Screen to reply.

"I thought you left in such a hurry because you ran into some trouble, Brother Qiyan. It's good that you're okay, hehe. Oh, by the way, I got first place in that trial! Although I don't really understand it... Brother Qiyan should be the real first place, right?"

"Who knows? It's not that important anyway. Oh, your luck seems pretty good. You can find a treasure chest just by tripping and falling. That's really something else."

"Ah? You saw that... hehe... In the past, I didn't even need to trip to find them..."

"And now?"

There was a moment of silence on Zhao Lin's end, as if she had made some kind of decision.

"When I was at the Hanging Gardens, I met that sister named Zhu Xingshu. I asked her myself, to take back a portion of the Misfortune. I... don't want to be mediocre anymore..."

"After taking back a portion of the Misfortune, I can return to that state of one station of misfortune followed by one station of luck. But the Misfortune Station will be slightly better than before."

"Brother Qiyan, do you think... the choice I made was the right one?"

Was it right?

"If I were you, I would have made the same choice."

That was the truth.

In this world, there's no such thing as always advancing safely and steadily.

Being lucky but not exceptionally so, you can still die in a particular station.

To be honest.

Zhao Lin's luck in the previous station was actually very good.

That trial created by the Demon simply didn't leave any path to survival for ordinary Train Conductors.

To clear it, you had to kill it.

If Ye Qiyan hadn't coincidentally arrived there.

For their group of seven Train Conductors to try and deal with that Demon?

The possibility was infinitely close to zero.

Especially once Zhao Lin could enter Advanced Stations, trying to clear them relying solely on ordinary luck?

That would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

Seeing Ye Qiyan's reply, Zhao Lin's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled.

"Thank you, Brother Qiyan, hehe."

Their conversation ended.

From beginning to end, Zhao Lin never asked Ye Qiyan why he appeared in that monitoring room, why he didn't enter the Station World with them, and she certainly didn't ask what he did afterwards.

She had always been like this, clear about what should be asked and what shouldn't.

Very clear.

"Does this mean... I've finally made the same choice as Brother Qiyan? That is to say... this is the right one."

"Yes, that's right."

"This must be the right choice, because the previous station was my Luck Platform."

"Meeting him there was a form of good luck~ Hehe."

————

Having obtained a new Demon Card.

For the next day or two, he didn't enter a new station. Instead, he spent time on the train fishing, playing games, relaxing a little.

After continuously entering new stations, it was time to find a moment to properly rest.

Also.

The Fengyue Flower.

It was time to go to the Hanging Gardens, obtain the Fengyue Flower, and begin brewing the spirit potion that belonged to him.

Taking out a pale pink envelope from the Storage Unit.

Opening it, a faint floral fragrance drifted into his nostrils.

[Hanging Gardens Advanced Entry Permit]

[After use, you may dock at the Hanging Gardens for a maximum of 20 days]

This was the Hanging Gardens coordinate prepared for him by Menrojina.

"Sigh... This is the third city too."

The City of a Thousand Stars, Suoluo City, and now the Hanging Gardens.

How would this place differ from the previous two?

"Gina, I'm going to the Hanging Gardens to get the Fengyue Flower. Do you have time?"

A reply came back quickly.

"Of course. What a coincidence, I'm actually at the Hanging Gardens right now taking care of some matters. However, in a few days, I'll need to move forward again, to conquer new stations. Hehe, one can't always remain stagnant because of various troublesome matters, don't you agree, Little Brother Ye?"

"Well then, I wish you smooth sailing on your journey?"

"Haven't left yet~ Hehe~ When you get here, just see me off~ I'd be very happy."

"Alright."

Since she was already there, Ye Qiyan used the station coordinate.

And, pressed the entry option.

[Ding dong—Station coordinate used]

[Your thirtieth station has been confirmed as: Hanging Gardens]

[Crossroads of Fate triggered]

[Please choose between the following two docking locations.]

[Option One: Garden Station]

[Option Two: Adjudication Department Special Station]

The Adjudication Department?

Ye Qiyan noted down this name.

Every time he entered a city or certain places, the function of the Crossroads of Fate Module, besides providing a second choice, was more about providing an unknown piece of information.

For Ye Qiyan, this also counted as a special kind of assistance.

"Station thirty already."

"Really have experienced quite a lot."

What would happen at this thirtieth station, the Hanging Gardens?

There probably... shouldn't be any problems, right?

"I'm just getting a flower. I'll get it and then rest for a few days. Hmm, and besides, didn't that charlatan Zhu Xingshu already steal a card before? No matter what, she probably wouldn't do anything to the Hanging Gardens now."

"It seems this time should just be a simple city tour."

Thinking this, a faint curve appeared at the corner of Ye Qiyan's mouth.

"I choose option one, Garden Station."

An ordinary choice, an ordinary station, just leave in an ordinary way.

That's right!

The wheels rolled, the tracks stretched out.

The void manifested, the train accelerated.

All conditions met, ahead, enter the next station.

Hanging Gardens.

————

The scenery outside the train window changed.

The scenery seen outside the window after entering the City of a Thousand Stars was the ocean.

Suoluo City showed the sky.

But the Hanging Gardens left Ye Qiyan astonished.

Because, at this moment.

The train was traveling within a silvery-white, specially-made multi-layered track.

What was seen outside the window wasn't land, sky, or ocean, but... the cosmos.

"Holy crap, this place is actually built in space?"

A space station, the Hanging Gardens.

Ye Qiyan gazed out.

Below the Hanging Gardens, there was also a planet, entirely emerald green.

It looked like it should be some large Station World.

"Such a grand undertaking."

"How on earth was something like this built?"

As the train entered the Hanging Gardens entry point and slowly came to a stop.

The familiar Capsule Tunnel appeared. The Guide here wanted to recommend the Capsule Tunnel, but Ye Qiyan refused.

He had Lisette follow by his side, then promptly stored the train in the Matrix.

"Next, first get the Fengyue Flower in hand."
