Chapter 662: [Spirit: 400] / The Buyer of the Nation on Ships

"Lisette, how long was I asleep?"

Time: [6:07:19]

Today's Weather: [Fog]

Ye Qiyan looked at the foggy sky outside, yet for some reason, he felt in an inexplicably good mood.

He lifted Mingming, who was lying on his chest and seemed to be having a pleasant dream, and placed her on the pillow.

Noticing Lisette sitting beside him, he asked her directly.

Lisette raised two fingers on both her left and right hands.

"Two days, two nights."

"Huh? I actually slept that long? I didn't even think I was that tired."

Ye Qiyan scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

Lisette stood up from beside him.

She brought over the bread she had prepared earlier, along with jam made from White Forest Fruit, setting them in front of Ye Qiyan.

"Breakfast."

"Thanks, I'm actually hungry."

Ye Qiyan stretched lazily, walked straight to the window, and opened it.

He reached his hand out, touching the damp mist outside.

Above the train, Eve would occasionally lock onto and kill the monsters chasing the train from within the fog.

Other than that, there was only the sound of the train moving.

"It's really quiet."

Ye Qiyan ate his bread while casually pulling up the system interface.

Having slept for two days, by now, the black market customer service lady, Ailei, should have found him a buyer, right?

He pulled out the black market invitation card and was about to swipe it.

But his eyes inadvertently landed on his own personal information.

[Stamina: 350]

Hm, no change.

[Spirit: 400]

Hm, nothing there either...

"Huh?"

Ye Qiyan rubbed his eyes, took out the Anchor, and confirmed it.

Yeah! This wasn't a dream!

"What did I even do? I just slept, and my spirit went up again?"

Four hundred.

He remembered very clearly.

Before falling asleep, his spirit stat had only been three hundred forty, even ten points lower than his stamina.

Now, not only had spirit overtaken stamina.

It had surpassed it by a full fifty points?

"What the hell is this..."

Ye Qiyan looked in the mirror.

The reflection in the mirror was still just as handsome.

This wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

Sometimes, he would sleep for a while, and the next day, his spirit would increase.

What surprised him was the sheer amount of this increase.

"Was it because it hadn't happened for so long?"

Indeed.

When he first entered the Wasteland, this kind of thing happened quite frequently. But it hadn't occurred for a long time after that, so Ye Qiyan had assumed it wouldn't happen again.

Now, it seemed.

His spirit had been saving up a big one for him.

"Hehe, four hundred points. Hm... as long as my stamina also reaches four hundred, it looks like... I can Sublime again."

What he meant by Sublime was sublimating his talent, also sublimating himself.

"Hey, System, next time the train upgrade options come up, can I get something to raise my stamina cap again?"

The system didn't respond. Ye Qiyan shrugged and didn't care.

He was just shooting his shot anyway.

Fifty points of stamina.

He would find a way.

He was in a very good mood. A sixty-point increase in spirit was a massive boost to his combat power.

"Oh, right. I almost forgot about the black market thing."

He picked up the [Black Market Invitation Card] he had just tossed aside and swiped it across the system light screen.

The black market's signature light screen unfolded.

Before he could even speak, the customer service lady named Ailei had already started talking.

["Member, are you alright? I tried contacting you two days ago, and you didn't respond. Did something happen? The black market offers item rental services. If you need it... I can give you a one percent discount."]

"Forget the one percent discount. I just rested for a couple of days. Let's get down to business. From what you just said, did you find a buyer for my things?"

["Yes. It's not common for someone to be able to pull out over three thousand Train Coins to buy items of this middling level and ability. Besides, most of your items bear the mark of the Goblins, so selling them also requires considering whether the buyer can remove those marks."]

"Marks?"

["Yes. So I searched for a while and finally found a suitable buyer. But that buyer requests you personally travel to the Nation on Ships to deliver these items. As for the timing, hmm, within ten days will do. Because ten days from now is the Guild Exercise on the Nation on Ships. That buyer wants to use these items as part of the rewards, while the rest will be used to arm the helpers accompanying them to conquer a Station World."]

"Deliver them there? Can't the black market just handle the transaction directly?"

["Indeed it can, but this is what the other party requested. They're offering 3,500 Train Coins. The other two buyers I found offered 2,900 and 2,650 respectively."]

The difference wasn't small.

Ye Qiyan thought it over.

If the gap had only been one or two hundred, he wouldn't have bothered.

But since they were offering that much money...

"What's the reason? Does that buyer know my information?"

["No, not at all. Please rest assured, the black market customer service will never disclose any member's information. That is the black market's first principle and an absolute contract. However, the other party probably saw the mark of the Goblin Seventh Expeditionary Army, that notoriously infamous Goblin invasion force, on the items you're selling. Hence, they guessed that you wiped out that army corps, and wanted to meet you. Member... how did you do it? Didn't those Goblins choose to divine-dodge and run away?"]

Miss Ailei expressed her curiosity, which was quite rare.

It seemed.

The name of that Goblin Seventh Expeditionary Army was quite well-known among Train Conductors.

"Just got lucky and dealt with them. I agree to the transaction, but I don't have the coordinates for the Nation on Ships."

"I will contact the buyer for you and ask them to provide an invitation."

He closed the black market interface.

Ye Qiyan looked at the Gray Fog outside the window, lost in thought.

"Speaking of which, those Goblins are pretty famous. But why would that Goblin God monster abandon them? Was it... because they were too famous?"

"Hmph. If that's really the case, that's pretty funny."

Ye Qiyan shook his head.

Since he had decided to complete this transaction.

He at least needed to understand a little about what the Nation on Ships was.

Although he knew it was one of the original twelve Train Conductor cities.

He had absolutely no idea about the specifics.

[Public Chat Room]

[8844/10000]

Some more people had died, but the rate of decrease was very slow.

Of the more than eight thousand people still alive, they were all the cream of the crop in this sector.

Before their Train Levels rose to a certain point and they entered the Advanced Station Worlds, there probably wouldn't be many more deaths.

He tapped the light screen.

Searched for the keyword [Nation on Ships].

Lines of information flew past Ye Qiyan's eyes.

And one of them caught his attention.

["Wow! President Zhao An and Daxim are going to duel in the Guild competition on the Nation on Ships to decide who becomes the Guild President! Who do you guys think will win!?"]

["It's definitely Daxim. He's a genuine Demon!"]

["Bullshit! President Zhao An will definitely win!"]

A genuine...

Demon?

Ye Qiyan's expression was somewhat strange.

"So there's a Demon in that guild too. Speaking of which, I've seen all kinds of monsters, but I've rarely seen a Demon."
