Ye Qiyan raised his train to Level 17 using the Imminent Demise Drill, but the Ascension consumed more stamina and spirit than expected. He opened the upgrade options and discovered that buying all four would leave him needing to sell the rest of his spoils.

• Ye Qiyan sold most of his spoils at the Black Market, raising his funds to 1,398 Train Coins while keeping some items for later.

• Ye Qiyan questioned Ailei about why she had invited him, and she explained that she wanted a strong Train Conductor to challenge the guilds controlling special upgrade materials.

• The three guild leaders examined images of Ye Qiyan and his companions, and one feared that he was Altos.

Three Guild leaders feared that Altos had entered the Wish War for reasons beyond its small rewards, so they planned to make Abucado’s people confront him while they stayed out of the fight. Meanwhile, Ye Qiyan stayed with Shirley after killing the tax collectors, and she asked him why her people had to surrender their hearts.

• Three Guild leaders discussed Altos’s power and feared his arrival in the Wish War, then devised a plan to hire Abucado’s people to face him.

• Shirley asked Ye Qiyan why her intelligent race had to have its hearts taken.

Ye Qiyan left Shirley under the protection of Lancelot and the Endless units, then watched the Snow White Princesses turn on her for summoning a Hero. Their attack was stopped, and Ye Qiyan realized the Guilds were already acting while Shirley questioned the village’s Heart Tax.

• Ye Qiyan told Zhuxing Tu he would flee if he lost the Wish War, reassured Shirley, and left Lancelot and the Endless units to guard her.
• After Ye Qiyan flew away, the Snow White Princesses gathered at Shirley’s home, and a girl from next door tried to stab her.
• The villagers blamed Shirley for summoning Ye Qiyan and demanded that she kill herself, claiming the Heart Tax kept the rest of them alive.

• Ye Qiyan learned the Level 8 toad could extend a life by 200 years, but he dismissed the item as nearly worthless.
• Feng Qianye reluctantly gave Ye Qiyan a second Lifespan Toad after Ye Qiyan questioned whether the first was enough to buy their lives.
