Level-8 Hunting Platform World · Qien’s Mysterious Home
When Zhao Lin returned to her train, her face was lined with exhaustion.
The Calamity Moon Beast that followed her as a pet and the little dinosaur that had emerged from the Game Card were equally worn out.
"Luck, unbelievably terrible... sigh."
Her gaze drifted to the little dinosaur beside her.
"Come to think of it, it’s about time I asked Brother Qiyan about this..."
Zhao Lin pressed her lips together, and after returning to the train she chose to depart the station.
In this level-8 station world, forget finding a treasure chest, she had narrowly escaped losing her life.
Although Game Cards were powerful, among her items there was nothing suitable for dealing with level-8 Anomalies.
She had to first see a target she could gamble with before she could pull it into the Game Space.
But she couldn’t see the Anomaly in this station.
In other words, the Game Card was completely unusable.
On top of that, she was plagued by Misfortune.
And the tools she’d obtained from low-level stations to handle Anomalies were completely ineffective against higher-tier monsters.
This time, Zhao Lin was truly in a desperate situation.
Just when she thought she was done for,
the Calamity Moon Beast she kept as a pet, Little Calamity, suddenly bit her.
That single bite caused luck and Misfortune to twist and invert.
The ash she accidentally knocked over revealed the Anomaly.
She pulled it into the Game Space, initiated Roulette wagers!
Anomalies could also die from gunfire!
One gun, six chambers, one bullet.
Because the luck provided by Little Calamity had run out, Zhao Lin and that Anomaly fired several rounds in succession, and even when the second-to-last chamber was reached it did not fire.
She gritted her teeth, forcing down her fear, and pulled the trigger against her own head.
Fortunately, luck still lingered by her side.
The fifth shot did not fire.
That single blow accumulated over six chambers finally eliminated that level-8 Anomaly.
After detaching from the Game Space, Zhao Lin meticulously searched for days.
She could not find any trace of a treasure chest.
Luck would not remain in this station anymore.
She had to return to the Wasteland and let luck and Misfortune cross paths again.
"Thanks, Little Calamity. If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t have known what to do in this station. Also... sigh, could it be that because I didn’t send this card back where it wanted to go, Misfortune came early?"
Right.
Misfortune came early.
This was her second attempt at an advanced station strategy.
During her first attempt, her luck had exploded massively; although it took a lot of time, even after successfully clearing the station she still had plenty of luck left.
Most importantly, her Spirit hadn’t been depleted much.
So Zhao Lin decided to strike while the iron was hot and entered a new station world again.
But just after arriving in this station world, she felt her luck vanish and invert for no reason, until finally it became pure Misfortune.
She wondered if it could be because of that Game Card.
Zhao Lin looked at the little dinosaur and made her decision.
The train departed the station.
Time flow returned to normal. Zhao Lin took a deep breath, stared at the special follow forever fixed at the top of her Friends List, pressed her lips together, and started a private chat.
["Brother Qiyan! Hehe, what have you been up to lately?"]
————
The day after he had upgraded the train to level twenty.
Ye Qiyan woke from sleep.
His Stamina and Spirit had fully recovered.
He sat up in bed, glanced at Eve and Red Tears who were clinging to his arm, and finally, with a bit of helplessness, looked at Lisette standing by the bedside holding a stack of clothes.
"Looks like I slept for quite a while."
"Master, good morning~ They came over this morning. I was afraid of waking you, so..."
"Morning, it’s fine. I was going to wake up anyway."
Ye Qiyan got out of bed. Eve made a proud face at Lisette and happily followed him, hopping over the train window to return to the roof and resume guard duty.
As for Red Tears, she remained lying there motionless, only watching her master with those beautiful eyes.
Come to think of it, Ye Qiyan didn’t fully understand it himself.
It made sense for Eve to cling to him, but even Red Tears behaving like this was odd.
Still, he didn’t dislike the feeling.
He washed and ate.
Ye Qiyan sipped a smoothie carefully prepared by WALL-E and made final preparations for his next station.
At that moment,
[You have a new message]
He received new messages every day.
For example, Russell, the current chairman of RUN Company, provided updates on the various RUN branches.
The two Abukado members he’d used as moles, Koleira and Ain, reported on Abukado’s movements.
Grand Judge Zhao Xi, the Emperor's Order angel Shaya...
Even the Wasteland’s superstar Alice occasionally sent him VIP concert tickets, though he never had much time to go.
So who was it this time?
"Huh? It’s her?"
Zhao Lin.
A girl he hadn’t contacted for some time.
Ye Qiyan had originally planned to talk to her when he had a chance and a big enough trade to give her some major luck.
He wanted to open the treasure chest from the previous station that he had Sublimated with a single transaction.
Unexpectedly, she contacted him first.
["You need something?"]
["Um, Brother Qiyan, did you lose something?"]
Lose something?
Ye Qiyan ran through his possessions in his mind.
He hadn’t even lost a single Nano Giant Sting Bee.
Why would she ask that?
["You know?"]
["...Hmm, I understand, Brother Qiyan."]
"?"
Understand what?
Ye Qiyan felt like he hadn’t understood anything yet.
At this moment, Zhao Lin had already made her decision.
She took the Game Card named Weapon Epoch from her card pack, photographed it, and sent the picture.
["Brother Qiyan, thank you for lending me this card. Now I can return it to you."]
Ye Qiyan, who was adjusting materials for the Armament Hangar’s Future Construction, raised an eyebrow the moment he saw the photo.
"So that’s what it is. If she hadn’t said, I really wouldn’t have remembered."
A Game Card.
A Game Card that meant little to him.
Although valuable, up to now he simply hadn’t had the spare time to retrieve it.
After he killed Laine back then,
it wasn’t surprising that the card ultimately ended up with Zhao Lin.
With this woman’s luck, as long as she didn’t die, collecting all the Game Cards would only be a matter of time.
What surprised Ye Qiyan was that Zhao Lin had reached out to him proactively.
If that was the case...
Ye Qiyan thought briefly and tapped the Light Screen, replying with one line.
["Keep it with you for now."]
The stuff from that treasure chest should be safe.
It just meant he would probably have to make another Refusal of Death defensive item.
