Ye Qiyan touched the product card and took it off the shop shelf, frowning slightly.
What had just happened?
No mistake, whether it was that huge pile of garbled text or that absurd price, everything screamed how special it was.
"Authority? Not permission? Miatira, aren't you going to explain a bit?"
【You will like this】
The System said no more.
Ye Qiyan did not press further.
Authority... and specifically an authority to strengthen an exclusive module.
From the name alone he could roughly guess what it did.
【After purchase, perform one enhancement on the first module of one of your Exclusive Modules】
That was the entire description.
What was his first Exclusive Module?
【Crossroads of Fate】
It was the achievement reward he received the day he entered the Wasteland, after sublimating the train.
Honestly, Ye Qiyan had never imagined he would one day be able to strengthen that module.
But if it were only that, it shouldn't be called an authority.
Why?
He left that question to Miatira.
The answer he received did not surprise him.
【Insufficient authority——】
Insufficient authority meant this authority was far more than a simple enhancement, what the System showed was only its most basic function.
If that was true.
Just as Miatira had annotated.
If this upgrade shop option were really to be measured in Train Coins, it would never be something purchasable for a mere five thousand five hundred fifty-five coins.
Those endlessly extending fives...
were the real price.
"Fine... okay, this time, even if you are useful."
【Dingdong~】
Ye Qiyan smiled faintly, shook his head, and put the product card back into the shop, not buying it.
Instead, he looked with somewhat dead eyes at the final option.
Even without calculating carefully, it was obvious the first three had already exceeded ten thousand Train Coins.
The last one...
hmm... he would trust Miatira one more time.
He didn't ask for much, if he could at least buy that final option today, even by selling off some unused items, that would be enough.
Ye Qiyan thought this to himself.
Without hesitation, he reached out to touch the last product card.
"Come to think of it... did I forget something?"
Before he finished speaking,
the card flipped.
The options and prices printed on it appeared before his eyes.
【Hero Badge】
【Blasphemy Card · V · Judge, exclusive strengthening item.
After purchase, can be used on that Blasphemy Card.
First ability [On Guilt] will be enhanced to allow up to three Justice Marks to be set, cooldown reduced to seven minutes, and multiple marks can be placed on the same living being.】
【Note: This is a thing of Judgment】
【Note 2: This is a Slay-a-god card】
【Note 3: Gods are your enemies, gods make war on humans; therefore, a hero who brings judgment must suspend their skull on the scale of supreme benevolence!】
【Price: 3777】
"....."
Ye Qiyan did not know whether to laugh or make some other expression.
Right, he remembered what he had forgotten.
Hadn't the level 10 upgrade option shop already said this?
As a holder of the Blasphemy Card, there would certainly be an option in this special option shop that was exclusively for strengthening the Blasphemy Card.
So how could this fourth option possibly be cheap?
Three thousand seven hundred seventy-seven, this price... was a full three thousand more expensive than the Anchor's strengthening [New Anchor].
But he didn't even intend to complain about System inflation.
Because he knew very well this kind of thing wasn't really measurable by Train Coins.
【Dingdong~You have viewed all upgrade options】
【As an exemplary Train Conductor who purchased all previous upgrade options, the System has automatically calculated the total value of this shop's items as: 14331 Train Coins】
【Your current correct Train Coins amount: 10705】
【To purchase all options, you still need 3632 Train Coins】
【This upgrade option shop will remain open for one Wasteland month. Wish you success gathering enough correct Train Coins to purchase everything.】
【Miatira Special Note: The original price of the fourth item is 7777 Train Coins. Miatira reduced it to 3777 through System authority. Miatira is very useful.】
"...Ha, haha..."
Ye Qiyan suddenly laughed.
It was a relieved laugh.
In the end, this upgrade option shop had wiped out his hard-earned five-figure wealth, reducing it to zero?
No, not merely to zero.
He couldn't even afford that final item at all.
Ye Qiyan laughed while pressing his forehead with one hand.
He watched Miatira's pixel-style smiling face displayed on the light screen.
Finally he could only shake his head and say,
"Well done, Miatira. Next time, when the level 30 upgrade option shop appears, remember to get me some good stuff again."
【Dingdong~】
Miatira looked very pleased.
Ye Qiyan took a deep breath and calmed himself, staring at the four floating cards and thinking.
Buy them, he certainly would.
But how to buy them, that was the problem.
Options three and four would contribute far more to his personal growth than the first two.
Especially the Judge's enhancement item.
The third Justice Mark, like the Anchor, would increase usage flexibility; more importantly, it allowed setting a second mark on the same target.
That meant the Judge's third ability [Verdict] could be used consecutively on a single target twice!
If one verdict didn't kill, then use it again!
Such enhancement power was at least on par with the Anchor and might even be more useful.
Because the Judge's power was not limited to dealing with gods!
Whoever is declared guilty can be arrested and judged.
Thinking this through, Ye Qiyan made his decision.
He picked up the third and fourth option cards again.
The 10,700 Train Coins piled at his feet turned into dark-gold specks and flowed toward the System interface.
【Ding——】
【Third and Fourth options purchased】
【Total spent: 9332】
【Current remaining Train Coins: 1373】
【Remaining shop value: 4999】
【Remaining Train Coins are too few to purchase any option items, please strive to conquer stations and obtain more correct Train Coins!】
【Friendly reminder: Based on your past purchase record, the System has temporarily stored the remaining 1373 Train Coins on the shop page. Note these coins are only temporarily saved and can be withdrawn at any time.】
"..."
Ye Qiyan's eye twitched several times.
He watched the shop light screen grow dimmer, then glanced at the empty space by his feet, and finally turned his gaze to the platform where coins hovered.
The five Train Coins newly generated from the Great Dragon Card also transformed into dark-gold specks and entered the option shop.
His feelings were complicated.
It seemed... he had once again become a wet-eyed penniless pauper!
