In the end, Ye Qiyan did not refuse Mo Shi's invitation and added her as a friend.

Of course, this Miss Mo Shi's Train level was very low, and she had neither obtained any Train-bound Modules nor any item carrying the System.

So it was Ye Qiyan who sent the invitation to her, and this girl happily ran back to her own Train to accept it.

The basic docking time for this batch of Train Conductors at the beginner Station was a full 12 hours.

Without VIP Departure Permission, they still had to wait here for a while.

Zhao Lin did not stop these people from going out to explore, only warning them it was best not to enter the Cafe in the central area.

Including Mo Shi, all five of them really did choose to explore the periphery.

This Miss [Death] seemed to be genuinely working hard to be a proper Train Conductor.

"Brother Qiyan, thank you for bringing me in here."

"Why thank me?"

"If it weren't for you, Brother Qiyan, I couldn't have come to this world, nor could I have gotten this Game Card. I owe you a favor, I'll definitely repay it in the future."

"You just got lucky, that's all. A six-shot revolver, and the sixth shot you pulled didn't fire. Serves you right for winning. But speaking of which, didn't you already win after pulling the fourth shot? Why pull the fifth one?"

"Huh?"

"Hmm? Don't tell me you didn't realize that?"

Ye Qiyan looked suspiciously at Zhao Lin, who was frozen in place.

"So, you thought you had to pull all the way to the last shot to win?"

"No... isn't that right?"

"Six..."

What could he say? Indeed, it served her right for winning.

"Ah, never mind all that. Anyway, thank you, Brother Qiyan. Clearly, you didn't get much from this stop... Meanwhile, I got a Game Card. If you ever need good luck in the future, I'll definitely give you my best blessing!"

She waved her fist, her eyes sparkling with determination.

Ye Qiyan didn't respond, just silently took a sip of his coffee, loaded with sugar and milk.

No gains whatsoever~?

Heh heh~

"Oh right, let me remind you of something."

Ye Qiyan was in a rather good mood today. Putting down his coffee cup, he spoke again:

"That Game Card named 'Roulette' originally belonged to Laine. I don't know if that guy is aware you're also collecting Game Cards, but well, you two might run into each other at some point. Oh, probably after you can enter Advanced Station Worlds?"

A flash of panic crossed Zhao Lin's face, but it was soon replaced by firm resolve.

She took a deep breath and nodded.

"Mm, I understand, Brother Qiyan. I will win."

If it were any other type of Card Sequence, given Zhao Lin's current strength, facing an attack from an old Emperor's Order member, her chances of winning would be basically zero.

But it just so happened that what she was collecting were Game Cards.

The very type of Game Cards that could make Laine, even when facing a novice Train Conductor, crash and burn.

Although he didn't know what method Mo Shi used to defeat Laine.

But, Ye Qiyan felt that this True God [Death] truly did not use any of her past power, and solely relied on winning the Game Card's game to accomplish Laine's kill.

Speaking of which, what would it look like if two Game Card holders fought?

Ye Qiyan imagined it in his mind for a while.

It felt like they would each create their own game space, come up with rules most favorable to themselves, win one round, then enter the other Game Card holder's game space.

But Game Card games cannot be set with a 100% win rate.

If Zhao Lin could, within Laine's game, truly find that 1% chance of victory...

["Why do I feel like that Laine is about to have some bad luck."]

Ye Qiyan shook his head inwardly and glanced at Zhao Lin, who was still standing there.

"Aren't you going to look for treasure chests?"

"Treasure chests?"

"This area is combined from four second and third-level Station Worlds. That means there should be four second or third-level treasure chests. Since you're already here, wouldn't it be a pity not to find one?"

"Oh oh! Right! I'll go now then. But Brother Qiyan, aren't you going to look?"

"Can't be bothered."

That was the truth.

After WALL-E's treasure hunt ended, Ye Qiyan had absolutely no interest in spending a lot of time searching for those bizarre, outrageous treasure chests.

Not to mention, their levels were only two or three. Even after Sublimation, they'd only be three or four.

He couldn't even be bothered to Sublimate an eighth-level chest, let alone these?

"Alright then. Come on, Xiao E, let's go."

Zhao Lin hugged the Calamity Moon Beast and ran out. Her good luck, having survived the sixth shot, still hadn't run out. These few low-level treasure chests were probably going to be found by her very soon.

"Ouch, what tripped me? Huh? Under this manhole cover... Brother Qiyan! I found a treasure chest!"

Good fortune and misfortune walked hand in hand.

Today was her lucky day.

————

Fengfeng was confused.

She didn't know why she had come to this Station.

It was clearly a third-level Station, but forget about gains, she had even spent her limited Train Coins to buy Chips just to win the trial.

Yet in the end, it all just paved the way for that strange black-haired girl.

For this Station, her gains were negative.

The only thing left to do was to work hard to move some basic materials and quickly get her Train level to three.

She knew very well that the System would soon require an increase in Train speed.

Perhaps because of her own inherent strength, the monsters chasing the Train were each not very weak. If a large number really caught up, she might be fine, but this weak little Train would probably be finished.

Stranded in the Wasteland then, without the train system to connect to the outside world, her final outcome could only be death in the endless tide of monsters.

"Sigh..."

Fengfeng sighed.

She conjured a few small Wind Elementals holding shovels to dig soil from the grassland and carry it into her only Carriage for planting vegetables.

Just then, a small cube-shaped robot suddenly appeared and waved at her.

"What a cute little thing, are you looking for me?"

WALL-E blinked, remembering what its master had said, and nodded.

It used its Mechanical Claw to point in a direction.

"You want me to go over there?"

It nodded again.

"Mmm... but that area..."

Fengfeng hesitated. That area was the forbidden zone. She was curious, but...

WALL-E waved its hand again, pulling out a small empty box from behind itself.

"You mean, over there, there's treasure?"

WALL-E curved its eyes, and once more, nodded. Then, it turned and left.

As if it were a hidden NPC in this Station World, specifically guiding the Protagonist of this trial~ to the treasure~

So, when Fengfeng gritted her teeth and followed WALL-E into the Cafe's perimeter.

The gentle Maid smiled warmly at her.

The mechanical girl with rabbit ears atop her head stood at a high place, casting a scrutinizing gaze down at her.

A Raven stood on the shoulder of a pitch-black Demon, while a large bird wreathed in lightning and a white bear played and tussled with each other.

"Gulp..."

Fengfeng swallowed.

Her back was soaked with cold sweat.

Because right here, she felt that naked, undisguised [Evil].

But, she also had a feeling... had she seen these things somewhere before?

Until, an even more familiar, frivolous voice came from within the Cafe.

"Yo, Fengfeng, long time no see. I really didn't expect to find you here."

"B-big brother?"
