Chapter 769: A World of Desperation, the Coordinates of a Disaster Card

The end of one trial meant the opponent for the next trial was about to appear.

Everyone knew it now.

Ye Qiyan's trial opponents were personally selected by that Lady Eris.

Many people felt panicked.

Because from the first two battles, the strength and ruthlessness this human had displayed made it hard to imagine surviving in his hands.

Whether it was the powerful Mechanical Army, the three card sequences named Disaster, or that moon-falling sword strike that seemed capable of cleaving heaven and earth apart.

Doubts arose in some people's minds.

Was he really just a Train Conductor of a low level, barely able to enter a Level 10 station?

But soon, they stopped worrying.

Because they realized that their own strength seemed utterly unworthy of becoming his trial opponent.

This Ye Qiyan was clearly aiming to break the highest score record.

That Lady Eris seemed quite happy to see this situation too.

Everyone started guessing who his next opponent would be.

Meanwhile, Ye Qiyan, the subject of everyone's discussion, had returned to the luxurious suite in that luxury hotel.

Looking at the system interface in front of him, which was blinking nonstop with pixelated smiling expressions constantly winking at him, the corner of his eye twitched a few times.

After the second trial ended.

Miatira had directly kicked the Nether system away—physically kicked it away.

This guy had turned the Light Screen into a matchstick man's foot, shoved the Nether system's azure Light Screen aside, and then prompted him in an extremely proud tone:

[Ding-dong~ Miatira special notice, the Train Coins you currently possess are: 2113 coins]

[You have met the requirements to purchase a single option in the upgrade store. Would you like to purchase it now?]

[Yes/No]

Ye Qiyan had pressed "No" in the arena.

And then Miatira's Light Screen had been following him ever since.

He simply turned off the system, choosing to ignore it, but whenever he opened it back up, it would still be staring at him with that pixelated, abstract chibi-style expression.

"I said, aren't you a dignified System? Are you really this broke?"

[Ding-dong, the System is the System, Miatira is Miatira!]

"Huh?"

[Even though Miatira is also a System, the System is not Miatira!]

"Heh heh..."

Ye Qiyan curled his lip, knowing full well what this guy meant.

Train Coins, the System didn't lack them.

But if it was Miatira... maybe, just maybe, this guy was actually a little broke, just like him?

No, how the hell could this guy be broke!

He couldn't be bothered to complain.

Shaking his head speechlessly, he opened the upgrade option special store and looked at the last two remaining product cards.

A card for [Disaster Card] coordinates.

And [Train Conductor Authority · Beacon of Memories].

Neither of them was something that would provide an immediate power boost for him right now.

The former cost 1666, and the latter cost 3333.

Even if he could buy, he could only afford that coordinate.

Ye Qiyan had originally planned to buy them both together after finishing this station's guide.

But whatever.

Anyway, he would buy them sooner or later.

The Train Coins stored in the store reappeared.

When he took out the seven hundred coins he had earned from the trial and the few dozen coins the Great Dragon Card had accumulated over these days.

1666 of them immediately transformed into specks of dark gold light, eager to be absorbed by the Light Screen.

The product card fell from the store.

He tore it open.

A letter envelope materialized from within.

[Nafrollo's Drifting Letter]

[A letter envelope that drifted into the Wasteland a thousand years ago. He was calling for help, he was crying...]

[Upon use, you can directly enter the coordinate world it records, lasting for 48 hours of that world's time.]

[Level 10 Desperate Station · Kaela Star]

[Current remaining living beings on this planet: 1]

"Oh? Another Level 10 station? And, a Desperate Station? With remaining living beings? System, explain."

[This world has fallen into despair. This letter is the final swan song of this world.]

Ye Qiyan furrowed his brow and did not immediately store this letter envelope into the Storage Unit.

This coordinate was a bit strange.

It wasn't like the usual coordinates that were used when entering the next station via the train.

As long as he opened this letter envelope.

No matter where Ye Qiyan was, he could directly enter that world.

But the duration was only a measly 48 hours.

Without WALL-E, being able to find a Disaster Card in that amount of time...

Could he really do it?

"Boss! Your next opponent has been confirmed, also a high-strength win-streaker! And he's also a famous person. He even challenged you proactively!"

Emilie pushed open the door, running in with a newspaper in hand.

The headline on the front page of the newspaper was none other than Ye Qiyan's avatar, with a man holding a long sword, dressed in a white robe, standing opposite him.

[Shocking! Ye Qiyan's third trial opponent turns out to be!!]

[Ten things I have to say about Ye Qiyan...]

[Looking for a rich benefactor.jpg]

Ignoring the strange news articles in the back, he stared at the front page headline with a somewhat peculiar expression.

Because he was very curious. Shouldn't the Nether system have notified him, the trial participant, first?

How did other people find out before him?

Ye Qiyan silently called up the Light Screen.

Miatira also silently brought the Nether system, which it had kicked away, back to the forefront.

"......"

[Your third trial opponent has been confirmed]

[Name: Gluttonous Carnivorous Plant King]

[Gender: None]

[Race: Plant Race]

[Current Win Streak: 10]

Ye Qiyan had originally planned to buy them both together after finishing this station's strategy guide.

[Declaration: #####]

[Trial Start Time: 7 days later]

Miatira had forgotten to swap the Nether system back.

This System intelligence, which had a name and served only him, suddenly made Ye Qiyan feel that the old System, which had no emotions, was actually more reliable.

"Should I just block the intelligence directly?"

[Ding, ding-dong!]

"Heh."

He curled his lip, too lazy to argue with Miatira, and looked at Emilie.

"Can't this time be pushed up any earlier?"

"Sorry, Boss, this is a rule set by Lady Eris. No matter how much we appeal, this is all the time we have left."

"Is that so..."

Ye Qiyan thoughtfully fiddled with the letter envelope that he still hadn't put away.

If he remembered correctly.

Last time, in the Stellar Core Arena, he had left for a short while because he needed to Sublimate the train.

That time, his win streak hadn't been broken.

48 hours in a Level 10 station world.

Although he didn't know what the time flow rate there was compared to here.

It shouldn't be too different.

So...

"Emilie, I want to leave for two days. Make sure to cover for me~ Don't let anyone know, okay."

"Oh, oh, okay. You want to lea... leave? Huh?"

Emilie stared blankly at Ye Qiyan, wondering if her memory was acting up again, causing her to hear things.

"Sir, what did you just say?"

Ye Qiyan gave her a smile in return.

Lisette, Eve, and Red Tears all returned to the train's Matrix.

He tore open the letter envelope.

A door appeared before his eyes.

He reached out and touched it. At this moment, the time flow rate was confirmed.

"Don't worry, I'll be back this time tomorrow. And, wish me luck."
