“Peace Station Rules: Any harm you cause to others will be nullified, and a portion of your train coins will be deducted to compensate the other party. Your companions, including but not limited to people, pets, and non-living entities, attacking others will be considered an attack initiated by you.”
“Do not engage in snatch (robbery); that will also result in a deduction of your train coins, and the stolen items will be returned to the other party.”
“No spitting or urinating/defecating in public. Do not damage public facilities; your train coins and materials will be deducted as compensation.”
...
There were a lot of rules and regulations; in short, they told you to be honest and not cause trouble.
After Qi Xiao read them carefully, he gave Liu Liu a few instructions and led him out of the carriage.
As Qi Xiao stepped out, his figure appeared on a plaza.
This was a teleportation platform, and through this platform, one could return to the Train at any time.
There were a total of twelve such platforms, and Qi Xiao arrived at Teleportation Platform Number One.
He had already arranged to meet the person with the six-star treasure chest key here for a face-to-face transaction.
This was also the most crowded platform.
In the center of the plaza was a rotating Angel Fountain, and a blonde, blue-eyed young master sat atop the fountain. Whenever a beautiful woman passed by, he would beckon her over and give her a Train Coin.
Soon, the area around the fountain was surrounded by all kinds of beautiful women.
And he enjoyed the imperial treatment of being surrounded by beauties.
“Train Conductor, is this heaven?”
Liu Liu stopped there, wiping a nosebleed.
“If you keep bleeding like that, you’ll really go to heaven.”
Where did this rich guy come from? Is he an NPC?
No, where’s security? Help!
“Liu Liu?”
“Xi Jie!”
Xi Jian squeezed out from the crowd of beauties. She patted Liu Liu’s head: “Why are you bleeding from your nose? Did Qi Xiao abuse you again?”
“It’s normal for a young fellow to be full of vigor and a bit hot-headed.”
...
The group strolled around this area, while Qi Xiao waited for the transactor to appear.
It was almost like stumbling into a large anime convention; truly, everything was here.
Qi Xiao spotted the Little Fire Dragon at a glance.
Its size was similar to a small Shiba Inu, its body was orange, its belly and tail end were buttery yellow, and its tail tip burned with its iconic flame.
Its blue eyes sparkled, and it had four small teeth on both its upper and lower jaws. Its limbs were short, and it had only four fingers and toes, giving it a cute appearance.
It really was a Little Fire Dragon, a living one.
“So cute! It’s a real Little Fire Dragon!”
Xi Jian went straight up to hug it, grabbing its head and petting it vigorously.
“Does your Little Fire Dragon breathe fire?”
The owner commanded proudly:
“Little Fire, go, give him some fire!”
The Little Fire Dragon stood up on two feet, puffed out its cheeks, and unleashed a Flamethrower at a passing Goblin.
A golden barrier rippled around the Goblin, blocking the flames.
He turned around, baring his teeth and glaring at the Little Fire Dragon, scaring the Little Fire Dragon into turning and running.
But it was still breathing fire, and the fire sprayed onto Qi Xiao and Liu Liu. Qi Xiao received two train coins as compensation.
The owner quickly pressed both hands over the Little Fire Dragon’s mouth, making it close its mouth.
“What the hell? Whose ugly Goblin is running around without supervision?! It made me lose three coins!”
“Get lost, you old bastard, I’m the Train Conductor!”
The Goblin gave him the middle finger, then left.
“Your Little Fire Dragon is quite timid, how many train coins for it?”
The owner held the Little Fire Dragon and held up one finger.
“Ten thousand train coins, no bargaining.”
Qi Xiao patted Liu Liu beside him.
“Let’s go, this owner doesn’t seem very smart.”
Qi Xiao turned to leave and bumped into a girl.
It was the person who had the six-star treasure chest key.
“Are you Qi Xiao?”
Li Huizi was wearing a Kansai-collar JK uniform, with neatly trimmed hime-cut hair and a bow in her hair that matched her blue and white short skirt.
She wore knee-high white socks and uniform shoes, and carried a long sword with a white scabbard, about a meter long, in her hand.
At this distance, he could smell a faint cherry blossom scent on her.
“Damn, Xiao Yinghua?”
Because the chat came with a built-in translation function, plus her name, Qi Xiao hadn't realized she was from the Sakura Country.
Xi Jian, who was still petting the Little Fire Dragon, saw this scene and walked up to Li Huizi.
“He is Qi Xiao, what are you looking for him for?”
Qi Xiao was surprised and looked at Xi Jian.
“You speak Sakura language?”
Xi Jian put her hands on her hips, “Sister knows over a dozen languages, what’s a little Sakura language?”
Qi Xiao told her about the treasure chest and the key.
“Then translate for me, tell her to knock off two zeros.”
Xi Jian: “...”
“She said, at most one.”
“Alright, just say that once the treasure chest is opened, the contents will be split fifty-fifty.”
“Is there anything for me?”
“Why would there be anything for you?”
“Am I translating for free?”
“You translate first, we’ll talk about it once the deal is done.”
Xi Jian rolled her eyes at Qi Xiao.
“She said yes, the train coins will be split evenly, but she gets to pick the opened items first. If only one item is opened, she has priority in choosing.”
“No problem, ladies first.”
Qi Xiao smiled.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Qi Xiao claimed he would go back to retrieve the treasure chest now.
Qi Xiao pretended to return to the Train, actually not wanting to expose that he had the jie bracelet.
The owner saw the group walk away and shouted:
“Hey. Do you still want this Little Fire Dragon? I can knock off two zeros for you! Hey!”
...
In a relatively secluded corner.
Li Huizi was holding a yellow and white frog in her hand.
“She said she wants to inspect the goods first.”
“Perfect, I also want to inspect the goods.”
Qi Xiao held the treasure chest in one hand, and they both touched the objects in each other’s hands.
The frog was cold and slimy, its two legs kicking non-stop.
“The Perverted Frog Lord, its French kiss can remove certain restrictions. Can open a six-star treasure chest.”
Qi Xiao: “...”
After Li Huizi confirmed it was a six-star treasure chest, she nodded.
Qi Xiao placed the treasure chest on the ground, and Li Huizi then placed the frog on it.
The frog hopped twice, then extended its curled tongue and adhered it to the treasure chest.
With its passionate kiss, a transparent ripple spread out.
Three seconds later, the frog disappeared.
The treasure chest opened!
Word Spirit ‧ Time Zero!
Time slowed down thirtyfold!
Qi Xiao quickly opened the suitcase and, without distinguishing between good and bad, dumped all the contents into the jie bracelet.
It only took 0.16 seconds.
The suitcase opened.
Inside lay an AK and a long sword that was only half-broken.
Everyone was stunned.
Qi Xiao, Xi Jian, and Li Huizi all had expressions of disbelief.
“She said, where are the train coins? How can there be no train coins?”
“She asks me? Who do I ask?” Qi Xiao stared intently at the two items in the treasure chest.
“I know, it must be because two items were opened, so there are no train coins.”
“These two items must be extraordinary!”
“This is good too, one for each of us, no need to fight.”
Qi Xiao politely gestured.
“Miss Huizi, as agreed, please choose first.”
Li Huizi: “...”
She picked up the broken sword, examining it repeatedly with a solemn expression.
Putting down the sword, she picked up the AK, and after examining it, her expression became even more solemn.
“Your treasure chest is fake, isn’t it?”
“She said, ‘Is your treasure chest fake?’”
“Don’t give me that. She checked it before it was opened.”
“My treasure chest is fake? I haven’t even blamed her for having a fake key! What kind of good person has a frog for a key!”
“If she can’t choose, then I’ll choose first.”
Qi Xiao picked up the AK, unable to put it down.
“Good gun, a really good gun, worthy of being opened from a six-star treasure chest.”
“This color, ninety-nine percent new, a rare item.”
“Train Conductor, let me see, let me see!”
Liu Liu stretched out his hands to ask for it.
“Hold it steady, don’t let it misfire.”
Qi Xiao still didn’t believe it and lifted the empty suitcase to dump it upside down, but nothing came out.
He sighed deeply, spreading his hands:
“There really are no train coins.”
The items were distributed by default. Qi Xiao put the gun back into the suitcase and threw it to Liu Liu to carry.
“Translate to her, ‘Pleasure doing business with you.’”
...
“Train Conductor, that Xiao Yinghua is still following us.”
“Don’t worry about it, let’s just do our own thing.”
Li Huizi held the broken sword and silently followed behind Qi Xiao and the others.
