[Early Departure Privilege Activated]
The hour hand of the pocket watch stopped at 8 o’clock.
Even amid the blizzard, the train’s whistle sounded loud and clear.
The void appeared, the tracks moved forward.
From one stretch of pure white snow to another.
The weather in the wilderness remained unchanged, just like before entering the station.
Opening the public chatroom.
[8683/10000]
["When will this damn weather finally end? I’m really about to lose it."]
["By the way, that Li Xiaosheng guy has put a lot of materials on the Trading Platform again. Where the hell does he get all this? Such enviable luck."]
["Who knows? But Zhao An from our sector is no slouch either. Look at the vegetables on the Trading Platform, most of them are from him."]
["These two must have tons of Train Coins by now. Tsk tsk tsk. I wonder when the next public station will appear."]
["You really want to compete with those two? Idiot. That Li Xiaosheng once bought a blueprint for a level 3 assault crossbow at the public trading station. He sold one to every member of his Alliance. When the next public station appears, just stay far away from those guys. Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died."]
["A crossbow? Can that thing be stronger than a gun?"]
["How have you survived this long? A level 3 weapon, even if it’s a crossbow, is much stronger than low-grade firearms. Didn’t you notice the guy who sold guns before? What was his name? Ye Qiyan? He hasn’t appeared for a while, right?"]
["Hah, Ye Qiyan’s low-grade rifle is long outdated. That guy refuses to join the Alliance. Brother Li already said that next time he sees him, he’ll take his life!"]
["Exactly, Brother Li also said no one is allowed to buy his stuff. Otherwise, you’re against the Alliance!"]
Li Xiaosheng’s lackeys popped up.
Watching the chatroom conversation, Ye Qiyan calmly typed a line on the light screen, attaching a screenshot, spending one Train Coin to pin the message to the top.
["Selling [Heart of a Blood Clan Baron], now up for auction on the Trading Platform. Only Train Coins accepted. Highest bidder wins."]
The Trading Platform had an auction feature.
However, very few people actually used it.
When the description of the Heart of a Blood Clan Baron appeared in the chatroom, the scrolling dialogue froze for a moment.
Then it sped up rapidly again.
["What is this? Transforming into a blood clan? And what’s this module? All of these are things I’ve never seen before!"]
["How many Train Coins does this cost? If you had this, who would be afraid of those monsters chasing the train? Even inside the station, you could do whatever you want!"]
["The auction price is already up to 15 Train Coins?? Where do you all get so much money? Weren’t we all supposed to be having a tough time? What a bunch of liars."]
The appearance of this heart immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Among them were those who, seeing all the modules, were tempted and started bidding ahead of everyone else.
Li Xiaosheng was one of them.
"Damn Ye Qiyan, how did he get something so lucky? Hah, but that guy is really stupid to put it up for sale instead of using it himself. Doesn’t want to abandon his human identity?"
He curled his lips with disdain.
"Foolish. What does being human matter? As long as you become stronger, who cares about your race? With this heart, becoming a blood clan, who can stand against me?"
Li Xiaosheng took out a Train Coin and pinned a message in the chatroom, mimicking Ye Qiyan.
["My Alliance wants this!"]
Then another message was pinned on top.
["Didn’t your lackeys say no one is allowed to buy anything from Ye Qiyan? What’s this? As the Alliance leader, you’re the first to go back on your word."]
The one who pinned over his message was Zhao An, the train conductor who had been planting various vegetables since the first station, and was highly respected in his sector.
The two of them—one selling basic resources, the other selling various vegetables—should have kept to themselves, but Li Xiaosheng’s Alliance lackeys often showed off in the chatroom, mocking train conductors from other sectors, causing the Alliance’s reputation to plummet.
Li Xiaosheng’s face flushed between blue and red.
Gritting his teeth, he looked at the continuously rising auction price on the Trading Platform and kept raising his bid.
The auction price climbed steadily, finally stopping at 23.
The one who set that price was none other than Li Xiaosheng himself.
He had almost collected all the Train Coins from his Alliance members using basic resources just to gather enough.
He was capable after all.
Zhao An also tried to gather Train Coins from train conductors in his own sector, but very few trusted him.
Without guaranteed benefit, who would lend their wealth to others?
As the auction timer hit zero,
Li Xiaosheng obtained the Heart of a Blood Clan Baron.
The Train Coins went into Ye Qiyan’s hands.
"Didn’t expect this thing to sell for such a high price. Well, it makes sense since it was obtained from a level 5 station."
"But the one who bought it in the end was Li Xiaosheng?"
"Haha, I wonder if that guy will regret coming to bother me."
He only saw the modules gained after race transformation and the physical abilities surpassing normal humans but selectively ignored the negative effects.
Maybe Li Xiaosheng would pass the next few stations smoothly, but what about after that?
Well, that’s none of his business.
Ye Qiyan smiled as he counted the Train Coins.
53—that was his total amount.
With these Train Coins, Ye Qiyan felt that the next train Sublimation could be scheduled.
"Stamina and spirit still need some improvement. Hmm, tomorrow, just tomorrow, I’ll upgrade the train to level 5."
"Speaking of which, reaching level 4 ten stations ago was already a record. Level 5 should be doable, right?"
No, it’s definitely doable!
[Ding ding—]
A friend message notification rang in his ears.
Suppressing his excitement, calming his mind, he pulled up the light screen and saw a message from Zhao Lin.
["Brother Ye, how many Train Coins did you end up making?"]
She was still alive? Not easy.
"Not much, just 23."
Only the bidder and seller could see the final auction price on the Trading Platform, so others didn’t know the exact number.
Zhao Lin rubbed her eyes, wondering if she had misread it.
23 Train Coins? That would take opening nearly four level 3 treasure chests to get that amount.
Who really was the lucky one?
Why couldn’t she ever get something like this?
"So impressive. Did you also get this from a treasure chest?"
"I only killed an old bat."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin’s envy instantly vanished.
Luck and misfortune balance out, and so do wealth and danger.
The bat Ye Qiyan mentioned certainly wasn’t simple.
Perhaps he paid a heavy price to kill that bat and gain the deserved reward.
If it were her, she would probably just think about finding a place to hide.
