Whoosh-!
Countdown until system recovery: [01:28:50]
Ye Qiyan sat on top of the train, basking in the moonlight.
"There really is no killing them all."
"And I've already been discovered, huh."
A white bomber hovered in the sky.
Several aerial bombs fell.
They briefly cleared away some of the surrounding Flower Demons without damaging anything belonging to Ye Qiyan.
Fan Huo jumped down from high above. The instant a red targeting circle appeared as he was about to enter the 210-meter security radius around Ye Qiyan's train, he teleported one step backward.
He raised his head and looked at Eve hovering in midair, slightly surprised.
He took off his sunglasses, revealing a grayish-white eyeball beneath them.
"This is the Security Sentry's ability."
"Did you use a special core to modify it into this Mechanical Lifeform?"
"How extravagant. Although the Security Sentry can count as one of the very best items for low-level Train Conductors, people who think of enhancing it with a high-grade core are few and far between."
"And your train?"
Fan Huo examined the pale golden shield enveloping the outside of Ye Qiyan's train.
"A Wealth Shield?"
"You... certainly are wealthy, buying something this fragile from the upgrade options and even being willing to activate it."
Ye Qiyan gently stroked Eve's head and smiled faintly.
"Senior Fan Huo, it's been a long time. What brings you here to see me?"
Boom-!
The Steam King fired another steam cannon blast, while the Mechanical Legion held the line.
Fan Huo watched everything before him and smoked an entire cigar. Only after a long while did he speak in his deep, muffled voice:
"You're growing faster than I imagined."
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Level 6? Or level 7?"
Ye Qiyan picked up WALL-E, who was stirring mashed potatoes
