"Come out. It's me."
Inside the small platform.
Hearing the newcomer's voice.
Zhao Lin ran out of her train.
"Qiyan, what exactly happened outside?"
Ye Qiyan didn't rush to answer. Instead, he took the cup of Whiteforest Fruit slush WALL-E jogged over to offer him and had a mouthful.
"Whew~ It's chaos out there right now. You..."
He looked Zhao Lin up and down. The aura of bad luck around this woman had already reached a certain peak.
"..."
Halfway through his sentence, his gaze suddenly shifted toward the gate leading outside, through which he had entered this space.
"Go back inside your train. If necessary, leave the station immediately."
Ebony spun several times in his hand before settling firmly in his grip.
"Why aren't you going?"
Zhao Lin didn't move. She stayed where she was and shook her head.
"Qiyan, the option to leave the station has been temporarily disabled."
"Hmm?"
He immediately brought up the system Light Screen. It was just as Zhao Lin had said.
The departure option that should have been available was now grayed out.
[Please complete this platform's objective before leaving the station.]
A platform objective?
Wasn't that something that only appeared in Platform Worlds?
The words spoken by the chibi skull in the sky not long ago surfaced in Ye Qiyan's mind.
"A game?"
"Because the flow of time isn't synchronized with the Wasteland, they fooled the system into classifying the Sky Garden as a Platform World? Then they issued a mission through certain abilities?"
"Or... some kind of access privilege?"
Excitement gleamed in Ye Qiyan's eyes.
The infinite Wasteland held infinite possibilities.
No one knew what marvelous, powerful, or unique thing might be among someone's upgrade options at a particular level, or inside a Treasure Chest obtained at some platform.
