Chapter 116: The role of the train’s armed forces, the Wandering Star Holy Mark! Previous Ch

The Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon flew into the high sky as Ye Qiyan's train came to a steady stop on the tracks beside the station platform.

Black liquid surrounded the train but was completely unable to make contact with it.

【Train Armament·Wealth Protective Barrier】

This upgrade option that had cost 20 Train Coins back then was now proving its worth.

The Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon flew to a position above the train, its protective barrier forcing the black water to retreat even further away.

Ye Qiyan jumped in front of the train, opened the door, and stepped inside.

"Depart station!"

As the train prepared to move, the black liquid became even more violent the moment the train started moving.

Unable to break through the Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon's defense, the liquid began gathering continuously in front of the train, forming a gigantic black water giant.

The giant blocked the path ahead, separating the train from the distorted void of the station exit.

It reached out with a massive black liquid hand that blotted out the sky, crashing down toward the train like a small mountain.

The Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon let out a roar.

The red-and-white dragon cloud pattern barrier expanded continuously, blocking that devastating strike.

To leave the station, they had to break through this black water giant's body.

What method should he use?

He had it.

He took out two Train Coins and tossed them into the air.

The two Train Coins transformed into specks of golden light, one of which condensed into a silvery-white acceleration bullet.

And the other one.

【Train Armament: Imminent Demise Drill】

The reward he had obtained after breaking the fastest record for upgrading to a Level 4 train.

Finally, it had a chance to be put to use.

As a precaution, Ye Qiyan took out the Rampage·Thunderlight Spear Throw from the Armament Space and equipped it to the Sentinel Guard, launching one at the black water giant and creating a spiral crater on its body.

"Imminent Demise Drill!"

The light points transformed from the Train Coin condensed into a massive dark golden drill bit at the front of the train, connecting with the locomotive.

The drill began to rotate.

The train also started accelerating slowly.

The red three-fold acceleration device with horns popped out, deploying the acceleration bullet.

The Level 6 train's speed of 120 kilometers per hour instantly surged to 360 kilometers per hour, completely eliminating the acceleration time as it charged forward!

Drill rotating! As the train advanced, it drilled a path straight through the mountain-like black water giant.

Ahead lay the void of station departure!

Recall the Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon.

Amid the furious roars of the black water giant, they thus left the Transit Station.

【Ding ding ding ding!】

The train broadcast sounded simultaneously as he departed the station.

【Due to special circumstances, the fourteenth public trading station in this sector: Transit Station, can no longer be entered】

【The train system has issued an eradication command for this station, Transit Station no longer exists】

【Train Conductors from merged sectors D-56, D-119——E-3, E-19, E-28, E-103 cannot enter the station, therefore all Train Conductors within these merged sectors will receive five Train Coins as compensation】

People who hadn't yet reached the station listened to the broadcast with complete confusion.

What's going on?

The station is gone?

Could such things happen in this world?

For the vast majority who never had the ability to purchase any precious items at the trading station anyway, receiving five Train Coins as reward was quite welcome.

But for those who had long prepared their Train Coins and planned to spend them at the trading station, this was rather unfortunate.

For example, Li Xiaosheng.

He had learned from a senior that special resources for train upgrades could occasionally be purchased at public trading stations.

So he had prepared his Train Coins early, planning to try his luck there.

Now, the station was gone.

His journey to Level 4 would be delayed indefinitely once again.

Some were happy, some were angry.

But no one could be happier than Ye Qiyan at this moment.

After leaving the station and listening to those broadcasts, the train system automatically displayed a light screen with a separate broadcast message.

【Number E-3-1102, Train Conductor Name: Ye Qiyan】

【You have completed achievement: Destroy a Public Trading Station】

【Obtained Title: One Who Angers the Gods】

【When equipped, this title deals an additional 50% damage to any existence with divine attributes】

Indeed, the train system was not something that existed beneath the Gods.

The public trading stations were probably the handiwork of the Gods in the wilderness.

What was their reason for doing this?

Ye Qiyan took out a Train Coin.

He had never paid close attention to it before.

Thinking carefully, this coin was truly miraculous.

As long as you used it, it seemed you could accomplish anything.

Energy, power, creation...

The reason the Gods of this world established public trading stations was most likely for the Train Coins.

His spending at the Forward Station hadn't been light.

When departing the station, he had spent quite a bit.

The acceleration bullet and drill cost two coins, the Wealth Protective Barrier required one Train Coin to replenish its defense to protect the train, the Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon's guard mode cost three more, plus the sixty spent purchasing the Blasphemy Card.

His original 115 Train Coins were now down to 49, but thankfully the system compensation of five coins didn't forget him, meaning his final Train Coin balance was 54.

Although this would slightly delay his upgrade to a Level 7 train.

Everything was worth it.

Ye Qiyan played with the newly obtained Blasphemy Card fragment, a smile on his face.

"I hope I can collect a complete one soon. What ability will this one have?"

Thinking of this, Ye Qiyan slapped his forehead and took out the Anchor, setting an anchor point at the front of the train.

The previous three anchor points had all disappeared after using the banishment, and without anchor points, navigation would be impossible.

After setting it up, Ye Qiyan glanced at his personal information.

【Stamina: 114】【Spirit: 45】

His spirit had dropped significantly, but his stamina was still more than sufficient.

This time he had witnessed the capabilities of the Floating Armor; the thing Zhu Xingshu gave him was actually quite good.

There was still time, his stamina was abundant—perfect timing to perform a Sublimation.

This small thing probably wouldn't require too much stamina, right?

"Sublimation."

A spiritual light appeared.

The Floating Armor in his hand became enveloped in azure blue flowing light.

His stamina drained away at an unprecedented, extremely rapid speed. In an instant, Ye Qiyan felt like he was about to become a squeezed-dry orange.

"No way? This intense?"

Just before he was completely drained dry, the blue light transformed into golden light, and the original Floating Armor disappeared.

In its place, a golden-red circular pattern floated before him.

【Stamina: 114→4】

【Floating Armor→Wandering Star Holy Sigil】

【Wandering Star Holy Sigil: Permanent binding upon use!】

【Automatically defends against any external attacks, permanently increases the binder's stamina and spirit upper limit by 20 points each. Can be switched to autonomous attack mode by consuming stamina and spirit, creating six Wandering Star Glimmer Cannons for independent attacks.】

Ye Qiyan leaned back in his chair, barely preventing himself from collapsing.

His body was exhausted, but his consciousness remained perfectly clear.

Looking at the holy sigil before him, his eyes shone with excitement.

"Almost drained me dry, heh... but at least the item is good..."

He reached out and touched it.

"Bind."

The holy sigil flowed along his arm to his back, where it formed a golden-red stardust tattoo there.

His stamina and spirit upper limit increased simultaneously, and his body, exhausted to the extreme, recovered somewhat in that moment.

Giving him enough strength, he dragged his heavy body to the second carriage, threw himself onto the bed, and fell asleep.
