Chapter Summaries

Ye Qiyan discovered that the mechanical girl had become a Supreme-series Mechanical Lifeform with powerful abilities, including Void Card Storage and an invincible state. He named her Lisette, and she joined WALL-E and Eve aboard the train as Ye Qiyan considered upgrading Eve’s weapons.

• Ye Qiyan examined the appraisal of the newly awakened Mechanical Lifeform and learned her modules, equipment, and Supreme status.
• Ye Qiyan asked the girl to name herself, but when she refused, he named her Lisette.
• Lisette released Ye Qiyan’s hand, and he felt that they were eternally bound.
• WALL-E rushed to Ye Qiyan when it saw Lisette, and Ye Qiyan teased it before reassuring it that no one could replace it.
• Eve compared her Lightning Javelin with Lisette’s Diamond Spike, and Ye Qiyan decided to find Eve better weapons.

Ye Qiyan chose Fengxiang Hotel, a Level 7 multiplayer competitive platform, and arrived with Eve while Lisette guarded the train. At the hotel, he learned that two other Train Conductors had checked in and followed the receptionist toward a room, where Eve spotted a huge long-tongued woman lurking above the elevator.

• Ye Qiyan selected Fengxiang Hotel over the Golden Dog's Great Maze and arrived at the abandoned platform with Eve.
• Ye Qiyan left Lisette to guard the train and shared access to the Illusory Watcher with her before heading to the hotel.
• Ye Qiyan found a coffin-shaped hotel and learned from its receptionist that two other Train Conductors had checked in.
• Ye Qiyan asked to inspect the rooms and followed the receptionist into an elevator with Eve.
• Eve aimed her gun at a huge long-tongued woman lurking above the elevator, and Ye Qiyan activated the Pure Purification Stone.

Ye Qiyan broke into a surveillance room at the Fengxiang Hotel and confronted the ghost controlling it. The ghost, An Yuankui, revealed that he was a stranded member of the Heavenly Realm Organization and asked Ye Qiyan to help contact them.

• Ye Qiyan questioned the trembling receptionist about room 0255 and the earlier Train Conductors, then ordered Eve to break down the door.
• Inside the surveillance room, Eve detected an invisible entity, and Ye Qiyan used the Pure Purification Stone to force a male ghost to appear.
• The ghost said he had once been a Train Conductor and had built the Fengxiang Hotel into a trial ground to collect Train Coins and offer a chance at a treasure.
• The ghost introduced himself as An Yuankui, a member of the Heavenly Realm Organization whose train had crashed over twenty years earlier.
• An Yuankui explained that he had escaped his dead body with a Module but lacked System Binding, and asked Ye Qiyan to contact the Heavenly Realm Organization after returning to his train.

Ye Qiyan questioned An Yuankui about the hotel and learned that An Yuankui hoped to escape and rejoin the Heavenly Realm Organization. Though he agreed to help, Ye Qiyan remained wary of An Yuankui’s claims and gave him a false name as Eve continued to detect hostility.

• An Yuankui explained that the hotel’s rules kept him trapped in the monitoring room and said the rewards he had gathered were in a Treasure Chest on the top floor.
• Ye Qiyan considered the Treasure Chest and used Bewitchment to make An Yuankui believe he would help him escape.
• An Yuankui praised the supposedly powerful Heavenly Realm Organization, but Ye Qiyan found no mention of it in the Public Chatroom and wondered whether it had changed or been destroyed.
• An Yuankui gave Ye Qiyan the twenty-odd Train Coins he had left, and Ye Qiyan said he needed time to arrange the repairs.
• Ye Qiyan noticed Eve still aimed her gun at An Yuankui, then introduced himself as Altos rather than using Zhuxing Tu’s name.

Ye Qiyan reached the station’s top floor, found a fake Treasure Chest, and asked Shaya about the Heavenly Realm Organization. Their conversation revealed that the organization had been erased and that Ye Qiyan was wanted, while questions about Red Tears remained unanswered.

• Ye Qiyan took Eve to the top floor, opened the fake Treasure Chest, and destroyed the monitoring device while drawing an eerie creature to the area.
• Ye Qiyan messaged Shaya to ask about the Heavenly Realm Organization, and she said it had been destroyed and erased while she was sealed.
• Shaya told Ye Qiyan that the man who had chased Zhuxing Tu had participated in the campaign against the organization.
• Shaya showed Ye Qiyan a wanted poster calling him the Mecha-Dragon Demon Man and offering a bounty of ten thousand Train Coins.
• Ye Qiyan questioned why Red Tears was not among the fixed thirteen Demon Cards and wondered about the fear she had inspired in Raven and the others.

Ye Qiyan learned from Shaya that Train System upgrades rewarded conductors for continuing to explore, then concluded that another presence within An Yuankui controlled the Hotel’s rules. He used Bewitchment and Pride to question An Yuankui, who trembled as Ye Qiyan asked who he was.

• Shaya warned Ye Qiyan not to become indebted to Monrojina and gave him a Gospel Lollipop that could cancel one karmic tie.
• Shaya explained that Train System upgrade options reflected a conductor’s own journey and earnings, so conductors had to keep moving forward to grow stronger.
• After their conversation ended, Tina asked Shaya to get tasty fruit from Ye Qiyan, and Shaya decided she would ask him for more Whiteforest Fruit.
• Ye Qiyan inspected the level-two Treasure Chest, realized the Hotel held greater secrets, and suspected the being who made its rules was inside An Yuankui’s soul.
• Ye Qiyan returned to the monitor room, used Bewitchment and Pride, and asked “An Yuankui” who he was.

Ye Qiyan battled the grotesque creature that had secretly consumed An Yuankui’s soul and taken control of Fengxiang Hotel. As the hotel swallowed the stations and attacked his train, Ye Qiyan kept fighting with Eve while the Book of the Unreal and the Real began to reveal its power.

• The creature inside An Yuankui revealed that it had influenced him for years and planned to devour Ye Qiyan and use his memories to strengthen Fengxiang Hotel.
• Fengxiang Hotel expanded to engulf the stations and trains, releasing grotesque creatures to attack the Train Conductors.
• Ye Qiyan ordered Eve to activate Overlimit Mode and destroy waves of monsters with its weapons.
• The creature claimed Ye Qiyan would run out of spirit and be trapped, but Ye Qiyan continued the bombardment and used Bewitchment to silence it.
• Ye Qiyan activated Overlimit Mode a third time as the Book of the Unreal and the Real opened to its second page and emitted a purplish-red ring of light.

Ye Qiyan fought his way through the Platform World and killed the horror that had possessed An Yuankui. As An Yuankui began to fade away, he asked Ye Qiyan to check on the Heavenly Realm Organization and entrusted him with the items in his train.

• Ye Qiyan used the Book of the Unreal and the Real to tear through the horrors, then summoned Red Tears, Raven, and his other Demon Cards to locate the hidden enemy.
• After Demon Raven revealed the horror’s position, Ye Qiyan advanced through the floors while Lisette guarded his train.
• Ye Qiyan shot and killed the horror with Ebony, making the black hair throughout the space burn away.
• Ye Qiyan found An Yuankui’s fading consciousness and offered him a Whiteforest Fruit, which An Yuankui could no longer eat.
• An Yuankui asked Ye Qiyan to check whether the Heavenly Realm Organization was doing well, and Ye Qiyan reassured him with a lie.
• An Yuankui pointed Ye Qiyan toward the third carriage of his melted train, where his remaining items and resources were stored, and asked him for a favor.

Ye Qiyan recovered items from the melted train carriage, accepted An Yuankui’s request to deliver the Heavenly Realm Organization’s Seal, and sent Eve and the Raven Demon to search the coffin hotel. On his way back to the train, he killed a fake Imperial Sequence Organization member and reclaimed the Deceptive Play Sword.

• Ye Qiyan found three one-hour train stop items and took the Heavenly Realm Organization’s Seal from An Yuankui, promising to pass it to the organization’s boss if he met him.
• After An Yuankui dissipated, Ye Qiyan sent Eve and the Raven Demon to search the coffin hotel while he headed back toward the train.
• A white-suited Train Conductor claiming to belong to the Imperial Sequence Organization blocked Ye Qiyan and lost a hand when he pointed at him.
• The man’s helpers attacked Ye Qiyan, and a native slave wielded the Deceptive Play Sword that Ye Qiyan had previously sold on the Black Market.
• Ye Qiyan killed the slave, recovered the sword, and shot the fake organization member after realizing he had no Card Sequence.
• Ye Qiyan found twenty-six Train Coins on the man and considered looking for his Black Market Invitation Card before selling the Deceptive Play Sword again.

Ye Qiyan sold the Deceptive Play Sword and reached Level 3 Black Market membership, while Sky Garden’s Adjudication Department investigated Sun Li’s death and began targeting Zhao Xi’s Judgment Court. The chapter ends with the department’s leader telling Monrojina that the supplies for a Ritual’s final tasks are on their way to Solo City.

• Ye Qiyan sold the Deceptive Play Sword for 40 Train Coins and received a notice that his Black Market membership had reached Level 3.
• Ye Qiyan found that Level 3 allowed him to buy certain train-upgrade items, but decided not to resell them to other Train Conductors.
• A secretary told the Adjudication Department’s leader that Sun Li had been killed and that his weapon had appeared on the Black Market.
• The secretary showed the leader a distorted report indicating that Sun Li had been subjected to Sin of the Innocent, and they suspected a Judgment Court member had killed him.
• The leader ordered an investigation of the Judgment Court’s Judgment Enforcers, focusing on Train Conductors who had entered the Wasteland three or six years earlier.
• The leader messaged Monrojina that Sky Garden had sent people and requested materials to Solo City, calling it the second-to-last task before repaying the price of the Ritual.

Ye Qiyan opened a Level 8 Treasure Chest and tested its Black String reward, which could control low-level anomalies by playing them like a piano. He found the item useful for weaker enemies and asked Lisette if she could play the piano, prompting her Piano performance Module to appear.

• Lisette brought Ye Qiyan iced coffee and prepared a cozy resting area beside the train while Red Tears briefly confronted her.
• WALL-E presented Ye Qiyan with a Level 7 Treasure Chest, which he ascended to Level 8 and opened.
• Ye Qiyan received Train Coins, a Strangling Machine Blueprint, an Evil Eye Gem, Underworld Evening Primrose, and Black String.

• Ye Qiyan asked Lisette if she could play the piano, and her Piano performance Module appeared.

Ye Qiyan ascended three one-hour stopover time cards, producing a 24-Hour Stopover Time Card amid a strange encounter with an unseen presence. The Ascension left the other two cards drained of their potential, and less than four hours remained before his stopover ended.

• Lisette mastered the Black String gloves while Eve and the Raven Demon spent hours punching through the Fengxiang Hotel.
• Ye Qiyan decided to ascend three one-hour stopover time cards, hoping to gain the final hours he needed.
• As the Ascension began, Lisette, Red Tears, Pride, Bewitchment, and the Anchor reacted to a mysterious gaze and whispers.
• Ye Qiyan completed the Ascension and found that the transformed card would increase his train's stopover time to 24 hours.
• Ye Qiyan checked the time and discovered it was four in the morning, while the two remaining cards had lost their potential.

Ye Qiyan unlocked access to level 8 platforms early, broke the speed record, and received a Weapon Enchanting Card. After selling two drained stopping-time cards, he ascended the reward and used it on Eve’s Great Compassion Heavy Machine Gun.

• Ye Qiyan chose to disregard the unmet requirement to enter thirty platforms and unlocked access to level 8 platforms and above.
• The system awarded Ye Qiyan the Wasteland Rest module and a Weapon Enchanting Card for breaking the record for the fastest level 8 unlock.

• Eve summoned the gun at Ye Qiyan’s instruction, and he pressed the card onto it as the system began enchanting.

Ye Qiyan used Ascension to improve the Great Compassion Heavy Machine Gun, Skyhawk, and the Underworld Evening Primrose. He planted ordinary flowers and vegetables in the Evening Primrose’s Nether Soil and waited to see whether they would change.

• Ye Qiyan merged an Enchanting card into the Great Compassion Heavy Machine Gun, then used Ascension to give it the Hell Rock and Hell Joke effects.

• The Raven Demon and Demon Raven returned to Ye Qiyan with supplies gathered from the Platform World.

• He summoned Beedrill and planted vegetables and nectar flowers in the Nether Soil, hoping they and the Beedrill might change over time.

Ye Qiyan looted the dead Train Conductor’s train, equipped Eve with weapons, and upgraded a smoothbore gun into a powerful long-range firearm. After recycling and selling most of the train, he prepared to leave for a level 8 platform where a Devil Card Sequence awaited.

• Ye Qiyan explored the dead man’s seven-car train and found an armory filled with weapons.

• Ye Qiyan entered the level 8 Quest Platform, where the station announcement warned of danger and listed several ways to depart.

Ye Qiyan arrived at Fengfeng Mall for its food festival, where a cheerful girl named Fengfeng welcomed him and Lisette. He discovered that a memorial tower atop the mall was built from train fronts, then learned Fengfeng had gone to tell her uncle about the new guests.

• Ye Qiyan sent WALL-E to search for treasure while Eve guarded the train, then left the platform with Lisette.
• Fengfeng approached Ye Qiyan and Lisette, invited them to the food festival, and explained that guests could eat anything in the mall.
• Ye Qiyan and Lisette followed Fengfeng through a populated town to its four-story mall, where he spotted a strange structure on its roof.
• Fengfeng said the structure was a memorial tower that grew taller at each festival, and Ye Qiyan recognized its pieces as train fronts.
• Inside the mall, Fengfeng told Ye Qiyan that she was going to report to her uncle, who would meet the guests later, and then disappeared into the crowd.

Ye Qiyan spent the day enjoying Fengfeng Mall while investigating its strange food festival and the hidden underground space. That night, he secretly followed the visitors and discovered they turned into slime and flowed beneath the mall, leaving him to investigate further the next day.

• Ye Qiyan set aside his worries after Lisette reassured him, then decided to participate in the food festival as Fengfeng had requested.
• A man watched Ye Qiyan through a monitor and told Fengfeng to make sure their guest ate and drank his fill.
• Ye Qiyan and Lisette spent the day at the mall, where he noticed everyone kept food in their hands and ate regularly, but nobody revealed anything about the underground space.

• After the food festival ended, Ye Qiyan followed the visitors and saw them turn into dark green slime that flowed through a doorway and underground.
• Ye Qiyan returned to his room after memorizing the location and planned to investigate the next day.

Ye Qiyan and Lisette left Fengfeng Mall after Fengfeng secretly urged them to hurry, but the platform world locked Ye Qiyan and disabled his train’s departure. Following WALL-E to a hidden subway platform beneath the mall, they encountered a starving, corpse-like elder behind an iron door.

• Ye Qiyan confirmed that the mall’s transformed victims appeared human again and remembered nothing, then Fengfeng quietly warned him and Lisette to leave quickly.
• The man in the Fourth Floor office declared that Ye Qiyan would become the mall’s final meal and that he would claim the demon’s power.
• Ye Qiyan discovered that the system had locked him to the platform world, preventing departure until he met the conditions or stayed hidden for a time.
• WALL-E led Ye Qiyan and Lisette through a dark underground parking garage to a one-train subway platform beneath Fengfeng Mall.
• An emaciated elderly figure emerged through an iron door, repeating that it was hungry.

Ye Qiyan found a living Train Conductor reduced to a Dry Man in the underground passage and learned that a demon in the slime had consumed the station’s Food Festival guests. After defeating slime-transformed police officers, Ye Qiyan chose to continue toward the demon despite the Dry Man’s warning.

• Ye Qiyan stopped Lisette from killing the Dry Man, gave him a carrot, and heard his warning that water would make him vulnerable to being eaten again.
• Slime-transformed police officers burst through the iron door and attacked Ye Qiyan, but Lisette killed them while Ye Qiyan’s Astral Sacred Crest blocked their bullets.
• Ye Qiyan saw human forms in the underground river of slime and gained an Endless Hunger status effect that proved ineffective against him.
• The Dry Man succumbed to hunger, recovered enough to speak, and identified himself as a former Train Conductor who urged Ye Qiyan to flee from the demon.
• The Dry Man recounted how the Food Festival demon had consumed the guests and how his special immortality had kept him alive in agony; Ye Qiyan decided he had found the right place to investigate.
