"Why are you looking for me?"
Ye Qiyan did not choose to accept.
Without a doubt, this was an invitation to a Station World, or rather, a coordinate.
If he accepted, his next stop would take him into this unknown world, to participate in an event called the [Wish War].
But, why him?
["Please don't misunderstand, this is just an invitation. This world contains several special materials used to upgrade trains below Level 30. Their production is controlled by several Guilds, and these Guilds periodically hold a [Wish War] to determine the allocation of these materials."]
["Of course, the Black Market does not participate in collecting materials, so it also doesn't take part in this Wish War. However, this invitation came into my hands, and it would be a pity not to use it."]
["As for why I found you... because, Member, you are very strong, but your Train Level shouldn't be too high. Only Train Conductors with a Train Level below 35 can participate in the Wish War. If I'm guessing correctly, you should already be able to enter a Level 9 Station World, but your Train Level probably isn't that high, right?"]
It wasn't surprising that she knew this.
Anyone with even a little bit of brains, after thinking about it, wouldn't find it difficult to analyze.
"Among the members you serve, there should be quite a few who can enter Level 9 Station Worlds. So, answer my question, Customer Service lady, why are you looking for me?"
[Defiance × Bewitchment]
The Demon's Whisper traveled directly through the Light Screen to another world.
It lingered around the ears of that Customer Service girl.
Making her subconsciously answer:
["Because you are strong. I want to see that world change, but I can't do it. As a Black Market Customer Service representative, I don't have the qualifications to change that world either. In fact, that [Wish War] has already changed. Many non-Guild Train Conductors also participate for various reasons. Those Guilds, in order to control the production of materials, have caused many impacts on that world. I... don't like this kind of thing. Besides, Train Conductors are supposed to keep moving forward. Before truly reaching Level 30, why must they be bound by these so-called special materials that have no effect? So, this is a gamble. If you can win that [Wish War], maybe... you can change that world a bit."]
Her goal was now known.
The reason this invitation was sent to Ye Qiyan was solely because of her own desire.
She wanted to change that world, so she was looking for a Train Conductor who could win the war.
But from the meaning in her words, it wasn't hard to tell that everyone she'd found before had probably failed.
"I see."
["So, do you agree?"]
"If I win this war, what do I get?"
["I will upgrade your membership level to 5. From then on, any transaction you make on the Black Market will not incur any handling fees. Additionally, the victor in this Wish War, just as its name suggests, can fulfill one wish, only within that world. However, winning is very difficult. You just need to participate."]
"Only within that world?"
["Yes, after all, it's just a Level 9 Station World. The reason this so-called Wish War exists is only because of that world's uniqueness. If it could really grant any wish, then the ones controlling that world wouldn't be just a few mere Guilds."]
A wish, huh.
Ye Qiyan thought about the predecessor of the [Book of Reality and Illusion].
The so-called wish was just some kind of reality alteration performed by that world. The reward from this Wish War might be a bit more advanced.
He wasn't interested in anything else. What he wanted couldn't be achieved by some so-called "wish."
So... the only thing he wanted was...
"If I win, can I wish for Train Coins?"
["You can, but the maximum is 400 coins. That is the upper limit of that world's 'wish.'"]
400 Train Coins. Although not much, it was worth a trip.
However, Ye Qiyan still didn't accept immediately.
He lightly tapped the table, thinking for a moment.
Actually, for his next stop, he had originally considered sailing directly to the station where that Game Card was located using the Anchor.
Even though he wasn't that interested in that Game Card.
But it wouldn't be bad to pick it up along the way if he could.
However.
The Wish War, huh~
It did sound pretty interesting.
"When does it start?"
["Three days from now. Although that world is a Level 9 Station World, through special items and modules, it has achieved Time Flow Synchronization with the Wasteland. So, the timing is a bit tight."]
Ye Qiyan put down the letter.
"Then I'll wait until three days from now. But, as for this transaction between you and me, just waiving the handling fees and upgrading the membership level—that kind of price still lacks sincerity."
["This...!"]
"I will win."
["Huh?"]
The Customer Service lady was stunned.
"Didn't you hear clearly? Do you want me to repeat it?"
Ye Qiyan leaned against the window, opened the train window, and let the wind from outside blow into the carriage.
He took the White Forest Fruit slush that WALL-E had made and took a leisurely sip.
["No... that won't be necessary..."]
The Customer Service lady was a bit conflicted, but she thought of the Trickster Play Sword, and of the constant stream of spoils Ye Qiyan had been sending in.
This member named Ye Qiyan did indeed seem to have the capital and strength to say those three words, "I will win."
If he really could win...
["If, I mean if, you can achieve the ultimate victory in the Wish War, hoo... I will give you an additional GT-series mechanical Blueprint."]
"Deal~"
[Ding-dong—]

[Do you accept?]
[Yes/No]
[Yes]
"Ailei?"
["Esteemed Member, my name isn't important. In short, in three days, please use that invitation to enter the Wish Prayer Kingdom."]
The Black Market's Light Screen turned off.
Ye Qiyan handed the letter to Lisette for safekeeping.
He stretched his body.
Took a glance at the current time.
[10:03:11]
"I'll think about the Station matters in three days. Right now, there's something more important to do."
He gathered the last hundred-plus Train Coins he had obtained from the transaction with his original ones.
Called up the upgrade options Light Screen.
Ye Qiyan.
Was going to start spending.
"System, I'm purchasing all these options!"
[Ding-dong~]
[Purchase Complete!]
[Esteemed Train Conductor, your current remaining Train Coin count is: 25 coins~]
