A weapon without self-awareness, huh.
The Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon's existence gave him some extra courage to survive in this world.
At the very least, if he encountered train conductor seniors who arrived in this world earlier at some point, he wouldn't be completely helpless to resist.
The Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon would become his biggest trump card besides the Blasphemy Card.
As for the other upgrade rewards, he only purchased the additional 5-hour docking time for now.
The drum washing machine and new train armaments were temporarily put on hold.
It wouldn't be too late to buy them when he had more Train Coins.
He still had 26 Train Coins left.
"Completely insufficient..."
Continuing like this, he would go bankrupt sooner or later.
"The fate of a poor guy, sigh. Why are all the upgrade options so expensive?"
That said, if they actually gave him some cheap junk, he definitely wouldn't be happy about it either.
In a pleasant mood, he returned to the temperature-controlled carriage.
Today was the third day, which was when the vast majority of train conductors in the same sector would be departing the station.
Taking advantage of not having arrived at the next station yet, Ye Qiyan opened the public chatroom, planning to continue lurking.
Unexpectedly, he saw a somewhat surprising message.
["Brothers, brothers, did you know?"]
["We don't know."]
["Go away, stop causing trouble upstairs. I'm in the City of a Thousand Stars. Last night, a terrorist group attacked the upper city's treasure vault and stole some things. I heard they were trying to steal something specific."]
["Not only did I hear about it, I actually saw it. Damn, last night really scared me to death! You know what? When I saw those angels, I really thought I'd gone to heaven!"]
["Angels? Like from mythology?"]
["Anyway they were quite beautiful. Those angels gathered around a train and fought with the big shots from the Inspector faction. Tsk tsk, supposedly it was extremely brutal - quite a few people died."]
["I really don't understand what these terrorist groups are after. It's the big shots upstairs who provide safe shelter for us ordinary people. They're truly evil."]
["Provide safe shelter? Heh~ You know, that battle yesterday directly shattered a section of space. That was the lower district of the City of a Thousand Stars, where all the failed train conductors are."]
["Shh, is the guy upstairs crazy? Aren't you in a guild? The adults in the guilds all said we're not allowed to mention things about the lower district. If you want to die, don't drag everyone in the sector down with you!"]
Angels? Terrorist groups? Theft?
Ye Qiyan instantly thought of one person.
"Shaya? So she couldn't meet me in the city because she was fighting with the City of a Thousand Stars' Inspectors? Angels... is that a card sequence?"
Thinking about how his Demon Card could actually summon demons.
Then if there were Angel Cards, it wouldn't be excessive if they could summon angels too.
As a member of the Imperial Sequence Organization, he remembered hearing from Zhu Xingshu that Shaya's card sequence was the Angel Card.
Ye Qiyan's curiosity was piqued. He was quite curious about what happened afterward, so he took out a bag of potato chips he got from Zhao Lin and continued lurking in the chatroom with great interest.
However, after that person's warning, no one else offered any useful information, which disappointed him.
Just as he was about to close the chatroom, someone from his friends list sent him a message.
Zhao Lin: ["Brother Qiyan, someone borrowed 10 Train Coins from me today and used this as collateral. I didn't get a bad deal, right?"]
Glancing at the screenshot she sent, Ye Qiyan's expression instantly became strange.
Why did this phone look somewhat familiar?
Ye Qiyan: ["Not a bad deal. Being able to use the system outside the train, even if it's only for chatting and the trading platform, is quite useful. But who borrowed from you?"]
["A girl from the same sector as us, surname Shangguan, named Shangguan Yingxue. Her name is much nicer than mine. She said some unscrupulous merchant was selling her Flame Stones. Ah, I'm so envious. I wish some unscrupulous merchant would sell me Flame Stones too."]
Case solved. So Shangguan Yingxue borrowed the money to buy the stones from Zhao Lin.
Why did this world feel so small?
Then again, it seemed normal.
In the original E-3 sector, only about a thousand people survived past the tenth station. Among these people, everyone knew who had ability and who was useless trash.
It was normal for Shangguan Yingxue and Zhao Lin to have contact.
However, Zhao Lin probably didn't know that if she hadn't lent Shangguan Yingxue those ten Train Coins, she should have been the one to get the Flame Stone purchasing rights.
And what was this "unscrupulous merchant" nonsense?
He was a conscience-driven seller, okay?
"Should I tell her?"
Ye Qiyan thought with some mischievous amusement.
"Forget it."
He chuckled lightly and continued tapping on the light screen.
["How were your gains from the last station? It was a lucky platform, right?"]
He almost got crushed to death in the City of a Thousand Stars, so his luck at the next station should be better than before.
For this woman who balanced between misfortune and luck, her gains from the last station should be considerable.
["Just okay~ Just six level 3 items, some Train Coins, and a few resources, that's all~ Nothing much really~"]
Though she said that, the happiness and boasting in her words were impossible to conceal.
["Anything you want to sell?"]
["Yes."]
She sent a screenshot.
[Premium Coffee Beans (Level 3)]
[After brewing, can accelerate mental recovery speed and reduce fatigue]
["Pretty good, right? Mental recovery is so slow. During one of my unlucky platforms, a female ghost scared me so much my mental state dropped significantly. It took two or three days to recover. With these coffee beans, it should only take two days."]
Huh?
Mental recovery, very slow?
He glanced at his own mental attribute.
From 50 points after sublimating the train, it had now recovered to 70 points after about an hour.
Although eating the White Forest Fruit contributed to this, even without eating it, he initially didn't need two or three days to recover mentally, right?
["What's your mental recovery speed?"]
["It's the same for everyone, right? At most 30 points per day, and only when you're in a relatively good mood. If you're in a bad mood, it affects mental recovery too. What about you, Brother Qiyan? Is yours different somehow?"]
30 points? So little?
["Nothing different. I was just curious if someone with talent like you might be different from the rest of us. These coffee beans - aren't you keeping them for yourself?"]
["I have another bag."]
["Then 6 Train Coins?"]
["Deal~!"]
After obtaining the coffee beans, Ye Qiyan's mind wasn't on them at all. Rubbing his chin, he couldn't figure out why his mental recovery was so fast.
If it was because of talent.
Didn't Zhao Lin have talent too?
Unless... Sublimation was special? Or was he himself special?
