"Chief, why is our Train so long, but Xi Jian's is so short?"
"Because men need to be long, women don't."
"Oh."
Old Liu nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Hurry up and wash up for bed. You know how to use a toothbrush now, right?"
"Mm, I know."
"Brush them clean, or you'll get cavities."
After Old Liu finished washing up, he burrowed into bed.
Qi Xiao summoned the light screen.
In the chatroom.
"Damn it, may your whole family die! I just fed my stuff to a dog!"
"You really dared to transfer upgrade materials to someone else casually? There are so many scammers like that now."
"I'd rather die at this station than casually transfer to someone else, unless they give me train coins first."
"Then if you receive the train coins and run off, they'll cry themselves to death."
"Such people deserve to be scammed. What time is it now? Who would still be willing to give out train coins? Materials are useless, upgrading only gives a broken carriage with no new functions."
Normal transactions were completed through the "middle platform" of the trading platform.
Perhaps the items traded were not entirely as described, but overall there were no major issues.
That is to say, at least you could actually get the items.
But material transfers were different.
Because upgrade materials thrown into the input area could not be retrieved; they were only for one's own upgrade use, or for direct transfer to other accounts.
There was no middle platform between the two parties, so there was no guarantee.
It was possible that after you transferred the materials, the other person would ignore you after receiving them, or delete you and run off.
So before this, everyone defaulted to using the trading platform.
Because they didn't trust each other.
It seemed that many people's stopped stations weren't very good.
For the sake of train coins, these people were forced to do so.
Qi Xiao exited the chatroom to check the station for tomorrow's stop.
"This stop: Elevated Road No. 26 (Single-person Station)"
"Departure from this station requires ten train coins."
"This station is a Nibelungen created by Odin, danger level: 7."
"The Maybach driven by Chu Tianjiao has a Level 5 treasure chest in its trunk. It can open: 36 train coins, one of the Seven Deadly Sins - Lust."
Damn it...
Dragons were Dragons, but why did I have to be sent to this section?
I was directly sent into the Nibelungen.
In this world where you could hide anywhere, maybe you could even collect some materials.
Would I encounter Death Servants? Would I encounter Odin?
Now this was great, I didn't even know if this Train could withstand Odin's Gungnir.
This was a total mess.
A Level 5 treasure chest, would I even live to get it?
Qi Xiao searched for Dragon Raja books on the trading platform, and there actually were some.
They even wrote about the Dragon Raja reboot.
After trading for it, Qi Xiao stayed up all night reading by lamplight.
"Chief, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"I'm catching up on shows."
......
The Maybach sped along the empty elevated road, cutting through the white curtain of rain.
Music was playing in the car, Altan's "Daily Growing":
The trees they grow high, the leaves they do grow green,
Many is the time my true love I've seen,
Many an hour I have watched him all alone,
He's young but he's daily growing.
The man turned off the stereo; the conversation just now hadn't been very pleasant.
In fact, every time the father and son talked, it ended in silence.
The car briefly became quiet, so quiet that only their breathing could be heard.
Chu Zihang leaned his head against the car window, looking out, lost in thought.
It was already very dark, and the streetlights had turned on.
A white light cut through the night sky, and a branched lightning bolt struck down.
Chu Zihang froze for a second.
A Train? A red Train?
Roaring thunder sounded, and it vanished with the disappearance of the lightning, swallowed by the rain curtain.
Was it just his imagination?
......
Chu Tianjiao was the first to break the silence.
"How's your mom doing lately?"
"Same as before, she gets up in the morning to play with the cats, goes out to shop in the afternoon, and goes to bars and drinks with a few aunts in the evening..."
The next second, Chu Zihang's body lurched forward, and the car stopped.
After he settled down, he saw that the road ahead was blocked by a red Train.
It wasn't his imagination just now; there really was a red Train.
The Train opened a door, and a young man stood at the carriage entrance, waving at them.
"Son, sit tight. Dad's going out to see what's going on."
Chu Tianjiao opened the car door, held an umbrella, and walked towards Qi Xiao.
"Bro, what's going on here?" Chu Tianjiao offered Qi Xiao a cigarette: "Filming a movie? Your scene is quite grand."
After Chu Tianjiao lit his own cigarette, he handed the lighter to Qi Xiao.
Qi Xiao stated simply and clearly:
"Chu Tianjiao, this is Nibelungen."
With a smack.
The cigarette in Chu Tianjiao's mouth dropped to the ground. He looked back, and by his son's car window, a pair of golden pupils lit up in the darkness.
He dropped his umbrella, immediately rushed back to the Maybach, kicked away the Death Servant, opened the door, drew out Muramasa, and severed its arm with one slash.
"Dad, this is?"
"Son, sit tight, don't be afraid!"
"Dad!"
Around them, golden eyes lit up again. Including the one just now, there were five in total.
"Son, welcome to," Chu Tianjiao took a deep breath: "The real world."
A transparent air curtain pushed aside the rain curtain. In the area enveloped by the air curtain, the flow of Time slowed down, as if filled with viscous liquid.
The speed of the falling rain slowed, the speed of the Death Servants slowed, and even the speed of the wind slowed.
Only Chu Tianjiao was unaffected.
He wielded Muramasa, and in the dark night, the flashing blade light was like a silver swallow.
One second the Death Servants were pouncing on him, the next they were headless.
Word Spirit · Time Zero!
Having dealt with the Death Servants at an extremely fast speed, Chu Tianjiao put away his sword, his expression grave.
Tsk tsk tsk, is this the strength of an S-class?
Qi Xiao was only momentarily dazed, and those Death Servants were already dealt with.
"Chief, did you see clearly? His speed of wielding the sword was so fast."
"Keep it up, you can do it too."
"Really!"
Old Liu's eyes lit up again.
"Keep an eye on Grand Marshal Blackwind, stay in the car and don't go out. I'm going over there."
Qi Xiao picked up the umbrella Chu Tianjiao had dropped and ran to stand in front of him.
