Chapter 896: Chapter 554 Stealing Someone’s Corner

The Moon God immediately issued an invitation to Zhao Jiu upon discovering that his Yin and Yang eyes could see the light and shadows beside her.

Li Changhe and He Feng exchanged a glance, this was not part of their plan.

It should be known that the Moon God had already made it clear in inviting Li Changhe and He Feng over that there might be conflicts on the train. If he managed to win that item, he could be targeted by other players. At that time, it would be up to Li Changhe and the others to keep order.

To rashly let Zhao Jiu, who lacks real combat experience, join the team was unsafe for Zhao Jiu himself.

"If possible, I’d like to find someone before the auction on the train begins," the Moon God explained to Li Changhe. "This would reduce the difficulty of the actions to follow considerably."

"We’re about to board the train. Can you tell us..." Li Changhe asked in a low voice, "what exactly do you want?"

"The precise intelligence I’ve obtained is... a Philosopher’s Stone will appear in this train’s auction."

"The Philosopher’s Stone!" He Feng’s eyes gleamed.

The Philosopher’s Stone, a legendary item from Western alchemy. A mythic substance. Also known as the Stone from Heaven, the Touchstone, the material for gold and silver, the red elixir, the fifth element... and so on.

It was believed to be capable of turning common base metals into precious metals or creating an elixir of immortality.

If it were in the real world, any mention of a Philosopher’s Stone would certainly be a scam.

Just like the ’Elixir of Immortality’ in Hua Country’s historical alchemy.

But once it’s related to the Evolution Game... it might actually have such an effect.

The Moon God spoke calmly, "In a certain storyline, an alchemist lord turned all his subjects into Philosopher’s Stones. Subsequently, that lord was killed by a non-human player, and the Philosopher’s Stones became the spoils of that non-human player."

"And that non-human player will be on this train?" Li Changhe thought, if it really was a Philosopher’s Stone, the players who got the news might not let it go.

"Apart from you, who else is aware of this intelligence?" Yun Ting asked.

"Some passengers," the Moon God replied. "The auction on the train will release some information about the items to attract passengers to trade."

"That means, quite a few people are aware of this intelligence," He Feng frowned. "If the Philosopher’s Stone truly has the legendary effect, they will by no means let it go. It might even get the player organizations involved."

Some large organizations knew of the Ghost Train’s existence and would send members to board the train to trade for the items they needed. Sometimes, they would also trade with those who control the stations.

These are the unique relational networks of the train.

It’s like this factory, seemingly only trading on the train.

But according to that employee who wished for death, sometimes their ’merchandise’ would be mixed in trucks filled with mannequins and transported to specific locations. That was probably the offline trade with certain player organizations.

Some passengers might be procurers for some large organizations.

"If that’s the case, it will be very difficult for you to win the Philosopher’s Stone, some player organizations have a lot of money," Li Changhe said. "How well are you prepared in terms of supplies?"

"If there’s no competition, it should be enough," muttered the Moon God. "I killed a demon that claimed to be a Mountain God in a certain storyline world, where I obtained Danmu Fruits and Shatang Fruits, totaling over a hundred."

"Over a hundred Spirit Fruits?" exclaimed Zhao Jiu.

Danmu Fruits, a Spirit Fruit recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

After use, one can obtain an enhancement to Fire Resistance.

The fruit of the Shatang offers the ability to not drown in water after being consumed.

In the language of the Evolution Game, that would be Fire Resistance and underwater breathing.

Of course, both effects have their limits.

The Moon God had given Li Changhe five Danmu Fruits in a row. Li Changhe, worried the Moon God might not have enough trading capital, couldn’t bear to eat them and still had them in his backpack.

He had not expected the Moon God to have so many.

The increase in the quantity of spirit fruits is an indescribable treasure for player organizations.

It can grant fire resistance and underwater breathing to dozens of players at the same time, significantly enhancing combat abilities.

In terms of cost-effectiveness for team battles, this is much better than any 9999 Holy Healing Potion.

"Because of these spirit fruits, there are quite a few people in [Black Forest] who have taken issue with me," Moon God said somewhat disheartened.

He naturally planned to trade these spirit fruits for the Philosopher’s Stone.

But some guys in the guild started to make sarcastic comments, thinking Moon God was utterly bewitched by demons.

Because they simply couldn’t detect the ’figure’ beside Moon God, an existence that only Moon God could feel.

They were naturally unwilling to waste so many spirit fruits for a ’person’ who didn’t exist. Compared to the Philosopher’s Stone that might not even work, they needed a large number of spirit fruits much more.

Keep in mind, these spirit fruits could enhance a large number of players in [Black Forest].

If it had been before Great Tang, they probably wouldn’t dare to speak like this.

After all, Moon God’s reputation and strength in [Black Forest] were quite good. His loyalty made him many friends and gave him significant prestige within the guild.

And at that time, Moon God was truly strong and undisputedly unchallenged.

But after Great Tang, several of Black Forest’s top players died, and Moon God, who was one of the Pioneers, became increasingly solitary.

This gave players who were already dissatisfied with him, and the relatives and friends of the players who died in Great Tang, an excuse to target him.

Moon God, preoccupied with revenge, didn’t respond to them. But Moon God’s supporters wouldn’t stand for it.

This also led to major internal conflicts within [Black Forest].

With its considerable number of members, [Black Forest] is a sizable organization. The more people there are, the more diverse their thoughts. Who knows what they are cooking up against Moon God in their minds.

And that kind of situation wouldn’t happen in [General Mountain], which had fewer members. The Bai siblings are easy to get along with. Xiang Wu is always keeping to himself. And as for Box... in some cases, he can be considered to be in cahoots with Li Changhe.

There were none of the open and covert struggles of a large organization.

Moon God went to the platform alone because many in the guild didn’t agree with someone accompanying him on his wild quest. Moon God also declined help from some teammates who wanted to assist, to save them from embarrassment.

And now, Zhao Jiu’s Innate Yin-Yang Eye has confirmed all of this.

Chi Yao... was truly by Moon God’s side, it wasn’t an illusion or an inner demon. It was real...

"Damn it! Black Forest gave you such crap to deal with?" Li Changhe snorted coldly, "Looks like, I need to pay a visit to Black Forest!"

"Call Chen Guang and Chen Yu’s brother too!" Yun Ting also spoke up.

"It’s hard to disagree," He Feng nodded.

Both he and Yun Ting, along with one ghost, were furious about Moon God’s situation.

Why should Moon God’s hard-earned spoils be used to strengthen those guys?

What right did they have to criticize and instruct? As allies, shouldn’t they be working hard to help Moon God?

What kind of reasoning is it to let Moon God struggle alone?

Before, Li Changhe had wondered why Moon God had sought his help, why he had come alone.

Turns out, he had no other options left!

What’s so good about staying in such a guild? Might as well... come to General Mountain!

After exchanging looks, the two and one ghost all thought simultaneously, ’Is it possible to snag one from the wall?’
