A crisp gunshot rang out.
The old beggar's head burst open beneath Ye Qiyan's foot.
Zhao Lin, hiding in the corner, felt no discomfort at this. Clearly, after spending so long in the Wasteland, she had long since grown accustomed to killing.
"Brother Qiyan, so is there something wrong with this Platform World?"
She stepped out without looking at the corpse, more curious about Ye Qiyan's earlier question.

"Not very far."

"Though I don't actually know what that Arena is...
"But I occasionally hear people in some chat groups say that place seems really terrifying. Even among Level 10 Platform Worlds, it's one of the more dangerous ones.
"Brother Qiyan... just how high is your train level?"
"Ah, you don't have to tell me. I just couldn't hold back my curiosity..."
