Someone wants to snatch it?
Ye Qiyan frowned slightly and pressed the purchase option before that hand could touch the glass case.
Two hundred and seventy Train Coins completed the transaction instantly.
The glass case opened immediately.
The blueprint that existed inside arrived in Ye Qiyan's hand as soon as the deal was done.
But the hand that had reached for the blueprint froze in mid-air.
The short figure, its entire body concealed by a hood and oversized clothes, lifted its head, glaring at Ye Qiyan with eyes full of rage.
"You!"
Ugly...
That was Ye Qiyan's first impression of it.
[Race Traitor]
Was it a monster transformed from a human? Or was the monster itself a Train Conductor?
"What about me? This... Goblin?"
"I, I am not a goblin! I am a gnome!"
A gnome...
To be honest, Ye Qiyan really found it difficult to tell the difference between gnomes and goblins.
But, a gnome?
Why specifically a gnome?
He knew about this.
The Goblin God is right here in the Hanging Gardens.
"So it's a gnome, this is my first time seeing one."
Ye Qiyan slipped his hand into his jacket pocket.
Click—
A crisp snap of fingers seemed to flip a switch.
The demon named Bewitchment whispered silently into this gnome Train Conductor's ear~
"So~ gnome friend, can you tell me a few things?"
"I'll ask, you answer."
"Oh... you, you ask then."
"Because I want to know, who sent you here, and were you once human?"
A flicker of confusion passed through the gnome's eyes.
"It, it was my God. When I was still a novice, I accidentally entered a station world controlled by goblins and nearly died. It was the great Goblin God who saved me."
"It gave me something to transform into a Goblin Apostle, though not a high-ranking one."
Really now...
Ye Qiyan just thought it was too much of a coincidence for a gnome to appear at this moment and asked casually.
He didn't expect... to have found it.
"Is that so? Then can you tell me, what does that Goblin God want to do here? I'm very curious, what is a great god doing coming to a human city?"
The gnome's eyes were hazy and confused, not noticing anything strange at all.
"To create an Abyss Machinery. The great Goblin God came here together with three other gods."
"Human friend, let me tell you, those Homeward-bound Souls are really stupid beyond belief, actually letting the gods in so easily."
"Although I don't know why we can't leave this world for now either, it doesn't matter.
Once the Time Flow Synchronization arrives, the gods have already made complete preparations to interfere with that hateful train system."
"At that time, using the human Train Conductors of this world as sacrifices, when my God's Abyss Machinery is successfully created, it will be the day my God ascends to B-rank godhood! Then, all humans will become slaves to the gnomes! Haha!"
"So, that's how it is."
Ye Qiyan still smiled as he looked at the gnome man before him.
"No more questions, you can go about your business~"
"Oh, okay."
The gnome man turned his head.
But he did not see.
At this very moment, in Ye Qiyan's hand, Black Ebony was already aiming its barrel at the back of his head.
Click—
A crisp snap of fingers echoed through the store.
The gnome man staggered, suddenly realizing just how outrageous the things he had just said were.
"Although I don't have any prejudice against those who change races."
"But...."
He whirled around, only to hear the roar that drowned him out.
[Bang—!]
[Judgment!]
[His Crimes: Betraying humanity, Greed, Malice, Bloodthirst, Mad Lust, Faith in Gods]
[Verdict!]
"You kind of disgust me."
Thud.
The headless corpse collapsed to the ground.
Alarms blared loudly inside the store.
Ye Qiyan's face showed no particular expression; he just stood calmly in place.
Lisette beside him smiled sweetly as she took Black Ebony, gently wiping away a single drop of gnome blood that had stained it with a handkerchief.
The Judgement Department members outside heard the commotion and immediately rushed in.
Quite coincidentally, the person leading them was Gong Feiyu, who was carrying three ice creams, having apparently been eating somewhere for a while.
She was momentarily stunned seeing the scene in the store.
Then, noticing the race of the deceased, she frowned again.
"A goblin?"
"To be precise, a gnome. And, not a human-turned-gnome, a real gnome~"
Bewitchment—
Gong Feiyu instantly believed this matter.
"So that means monsters have infiltrated the Hanging Gardens?"
She licked the ice cream in her hand a few times, her expression grave.
"No, I have to report this to the Boss. I can't accompany you for now. Oh, don't worry, this has nothing to do with you, I'll handle it properly."
Just as Gong Feiyu said, the corpse was quickly cleaned up and removed.
The news of monster infiltration spread like wildfire.
The people who had just experienced a major battle became cautious once again.
Time: [9:57:25]
Ye Qiyan didn't buy too many things in that Level 7 item store.
Because the prices they sold for were indeed outrageously expensive, and moreover, he always felt the quality was uneven. The good ones were just so-so, and for the bad ones, Ye Qiyan didn't even want to spend 100 Train Coins.
Getting a GT-series robot could only be considered an unexpected surprise.
So apart from that blueprint, he only bought one other item.
[Automated Train Core (Level 7) (200 Train Coins)]
[Can be placed inside a train carriage to perform automated enhancement modifications on that carriage]
A special core that can be used on the train. At 200 Train Coins for a Level 7 item, it could be considered worthy of its grade.
He planned to give this core to the cultivation carriage for use.
After all, as the cultivation carriage continued to expand, the number of plants inside had already multiplied several times over. Relying on the initial carriage automation to tend to the plants, even with the meticulous care of the Giant Sting Bees, meant it had been running non-stop twenty-four hours a day.
This could be seen from the train's electricity usage.
"Four hundred and seventy... tsk tsk, money is hard to earn but spent so quickly, no wonder ordinary Train Conductors grow so slowly..."
The materials for upgrades are controlled by the guilds. To upgrade, you must first constantly complete missions, and while completing missions, the station difficulty also randomly increases.
Even if you earn Train Coins, you're forced to spend them on improving your strength before you can upgrade the train.
"The Goblin God, heh~"
"Although I don't know what that Abyss Machinery is, I have a feeling... it should be quite suitable for me~"
