Chapter 265: After Leaving the Station, the Godslayer of the Hanging Gardens

Tribunal, Throne Room.

Menrojina, who had been waiting for Ye Qiyan to come and ask her questions, suddenly sensed something.

She rose in confusion, flew to a higher position, and looked toward that Judge's station.

At that very moment, she happened to see Ye Qiyan's train passing through the void.

The steam whistle sounded loudly.

Menrojina was slightly dazed.

"He left?"

"How strange, he actually didn't come to ask me any more questions?"

Menrojina opened the Friends List interface, found Ye Qiyan's name, hesitated slightly, then shook her head.

"Forget it, I'll find him after I get the equipment made for him and the Fengyue Flower~"

"Next, it's time to deal with some other matters."

————

The world outside the train window changed.

Familiar wasteland.

Familiar horizon.

Ye Qiyan opened the window, and the cool wind beating against his skin felt pleasantly refreshing.

Leaning against the window frame.

He didn't immediately set sail for the world where the Disaster Card was located.

His spirit and stamina hadn't fully recovered yet.

It was better to be a bit more cautious.

With nothing better to do.

Ye Qiyan opened his chat room.

Originally intending to check the public channel to see how the Train Conductors from his same batch who entered this world, in the same merged Sector, were doing.

But as soon as he opened it.

Ye Qiyan saw a private chat notification flashing in his Friends List.

Who could it be?

Time: One day ago: Zhao Lin: ["Wow, Brother Qiyan, do you know what happened at the Hanging Gardens?"]

["Oh my god, I actually saw angels and gods fighting!"]

["Huh? A god was slain by angels?"]

["So many, so many confusing things, Brother Qiyan, I'll send you photos!"]

One photo after another appeared before Ye Qiyan's eyes.

In them.

Angels, monsters, humans...

Various beings fighting each other high in the sky.

And among them, Ye Qiyan saw familiar figures.

Zhu Xingshu riding on her broomstick magic staff.

And..

Among the angels, a figure.

Shaya.

Did she slay a god?

Ye Qiyan wasn't the least bit surprised.

The photos could only vaguely show some special monsters that were probably similar to the God of Decay's apostles.

"How did she end up at the Hanging Gardens?"

Ye Qiyan felt slightly puzzled.

He sent a reply to Zhao Lin.

["Saw them, was busy with something before. So, how did you get there?"]

Beep beep—

The reply came quickly.

["At the previous two stations, my luck was pretty good, so I thought about finding a place to accumulate some luck, then enter a Station World after some time. Coincidentally, Shangguan Yingxue invited me to the Hanging Gardens, and many Train Conductors from our same batch are at the Hanging Gardens."]

["Also, Brother Qiyan, you definitely don't know this, but the guild that Zhao An guy established was actually noticed by experts from some major factions and became their subordinate organization, receiving quite a lot of resources."]

["Now with these resources, he's gotten all the Train Conductors in our Sector to join. As long as you have some contribution points, you can exchange for upgrade options or other things at lower prices."]

Noticed by a faction, huh?

For ordinary Train Conductors.

Being able to become a subordinate of some faction was indeed a relatively good choice.

The special upgrade options they used to attract people.

For ordinary people, these were the rarest, most coveted things.

["Oh, that's good. So, did you join their guild too?"]

["No, I just came to join the fun and get some free meals. Didn't expect to see all these things happening these past couple days! Hehe, definitely worth coming. But... Brother Qiyan, what I actually wanted to say isn't just this, take a look at this."]

Zhao Lin sent a screenshot.

The content of the screenshot.

Was the talent section on her personal information.

On it.

[Luck? Not Equivalent!]

Behind it.

An additional line of small text had appeared.

[Scattered misfortune yearns to return.]

["Brother Qiyan... Do you think I should regain the misfortune to make the best choice?"]

["Don't know."]

Ye Qiyan had absolutely no intention of helping others make decisions.

He himself already had decision-making difficulties.

["That depends on what you want to do."]

["..."]

Whether to accept the misfortune or not wasn't just a matter of safety for Zhao Lin.

Similarly, compared to that, her growth speed would undergo earth-shaking changes because of it.

Having misfortune, though extremely dangerous.

In the end, Zhao Lin could obtain more precious, more powerful rewards through that spiraling upward luck.

Conversely.

Without misfortune.

Her talent.

Wasn't as useful as one might imagine.

Mediocre.

These two words perfectly described her current state.

Quite fitting.

["I understand... Thank you, Brother Qiyan. By the way, Brother Qiyan, do you want to buy something?"]

["I have some materials obtained from the previous station, and one of them is quite suitable for you."]

Another screenshot was sent over.

This was her true usefulness to Ye Qiyan.

Treasure-finding mouse?

Human-shaped WALL-E?

Or to be more precise.

A suitable trading partner.

[Universal Scope (Level 5)]

[When equipped on any firearm-type weapon, will increase the weapon's range by 600 meters]

A scope?

This thing.

Is it useful?

Ye Qiyan carefully considered the firearms he possessed.

If he got it, who should use it?

Eve's blunderbuss?

This seemed to be the optimal solution.

["How much."]

["Twenty Train Coins~"]

For a Level 5 item.

This price.

Was quite low.

["Deal."]

Transaction completed.

Train Coins disappeared from his hand.

Replaced by a black shooting scope appearing in its place.

"Sublimation."

Without the slightest hesitation.

Ye Qiyan used his talent on this item in his hand.

Streams of light enveloped it.

In just an instant, this item that wasn't particularly precious to him completed its evolution.

[Universal Scope → Most Universal Scope (Level 6)]

[When equipped on any type of weapon, will increase its range by one thousand meters, and as range increases, a single shot hitting an enemy will cause additional critical damage based on the distance.]

Added one word "Most."

But the ability became much more useful than before.

Ye Qiyan satisfiedly equipped it to Eve's blunderbuss.

Although it could also be equipped to Black Ebony.

But...

This thing's size was even larger than Black Ebony itself.

One could say this scope was specifically made for weapons like the blunderbuss.
