• The next day, Ye Qiyan rested beside the Oasis while Red Tears fished and Lisette roasted a sheep.
• WALL-E returned with a Level 9 Treasure Chest, and Ye Qiyan used his Talent to raise it to a high-grade chest before opening it.

• Ye Qiyan rejected using the Magic Stone himself and wondered whom he could sell it to.

Ye Qiyan considered which weapon to use the Soul Armament Amplification Book on and decided to wait until after ascension. In Solo City, Zhao Xi warned Monrojina about the City of Eternal Night’s bombs, while Monrojina suspected Ye Qiyan had supplied the information and prepared for a major event against the city.

• Monrojina examined Zhuxing Tu’s event brief for the City of Eternal Night, which called for slaying a God, destroying the city, killing fiends, and purifying.

He learned that the extreme weather was affecting other Train Conductors too and received a congratulatory message from Monrojina.

• Ye Qiyan used [Ascension] and [Surpass the Stars] to accelerate through the tornadoes until the train completed its ascension.
• The tornadoes dispersed, and Ye Qiyan used [Overclocking] to double the train’s speed as it slowed down.
• The system raised the train to Level 14 and showed Ye Qiyan four upgrade options, including time flow synchronization for 2,000 Train Coins.
• Ye Qiyan learned that a tradable version of the access privilege would cost 8,000 Train Coins, then bought all four options for a total of 770 Train Coins.
• Ye Qiyan was left with two Train Coins, and Lisette pointed out that they were all he had left.

Ye Qiyan extracted four upgrade options, then collapsed from exhaustion after his train passed through the tornado belt. While Zhuxing Tu foresaw deaths and a possible turning point in Solo City, Ye Qiyan woke to find his maximum Spirit had mysteriously risen to 300.

• Ye Qiyan extracted Time-Flow Synchronization, Crystal Heart, a Carriage Single-Attribute Limit Enhancement Card, and Magical Gardener's Golden Scissors.

He transformed a Machina · Crystal Heart into an Alliance Heart, gaining a shield effect for allied units, and began working on his next item.

• Ye Qiyan asked the system whether higher Train Levels unlocked ways to increase mental capacity or stamina, but it refused to answer because his level was insufficient.
