Chapter 906: Chapter 563: Goods

Turned into cargo? Zhao Jiu’s heart quaked.

Wouldn’t that mean there would be no protection whatsoever on the train? What kind of price for a deal was this? This was simply sending the Moon God to his death!

Even if Moon God was powerful and killed those passengers besieging him, becoming a passenger on the train once again. The Three-eyed Skeleton might not... No, he would certainly not give him the Philosopher’s Stone.

He was planning to watch the Moon God struggle in agony! This was despicable.

Zhao Jiu’s hand, hidden within the yellow raincoat, clenched tightly.

And she was none the wiser.

At this moment, all the passengers in Carriage Seven were attracted by the words of the Three-eyed Skeleton. They stopped their respective deals and activities, turning to look toward the corner of the carriage.

Being players, their physical condition was superior to ordinary people; even if they were not players with the main physique like Li Changhe, their hearing was keen.

And the words spoken by the Three-eyed Skeleton were not the least bit concealed.

He... revealed a lot of interesting information.

The Philosopher’s Stone, the Innate Yin and Yang Eye...

"The Innate Yin and Yang Eye?" The one in the white suit before expressed confusion, "What is that?"

The train attendant by the Magic Eye cabinet responded with an even tone, "It’s an extremely rare type of natural Magic Eye within your human Daoist sects. It can see through the yin and yang, discern cause and effect, and even glimpse into the strange spaces where we reside. It’s a Magic Eye that you players cannot upgrade to on your own."

"So, this girl was able to see through that skeleton passenger’s disguise?" A player pondered, "This Magic Eye is more peculiar than you described. Along with that skeleton passenger, there are a total of two pairs of Innate Yin and Yang Eyes on the train. What identity does that skeleton passenger hold? Can you reveal that?"

"He once deliberately destroyed his own ticket, leading to an attack by the passengers. Only after killing a carriage full of passengers did he finally stop, satisfied. And he reaped a large amount of resources from the passengers. He also became a VIP on the train." The train attendant did not hide anything, but instead spoke with interest, "As you know, we do not intervene in battles between cargo and passengers. If killed by cargo, it only means those passengers were not strong enough."

"Destroy his own ticket? He truly is a ruthless character." A passenger laughed and shook their head, "The rest... should be easy to handle."

"What’s there to understand?" The one in the white suit looked at the distant Moon God and asked with a smile, "I’m just wondering, is this kind of Magic Eye valuable?"

"Of course." The train attendant smiled, "It’s a treasure worthy of being put up for auction."

"Then I understand." The one in the white suit let out a sinister laugh.

At this moment, some passengers also silently rose to their feet, some turning to leave the carriage, not planning to meddle further. Others started to whisper among themselves.

If the Moon God’s words from before were of no consequence, at most they were just tough talk. After all, it would be irrational to attempt to steal or destroy an opponent’s ticket over a verbal dispute. The cost-performance ratio would also be poor.

But now that such valuable ’cargo’ had been confirmed to exist, the situation was completely different.

Both the Three-eyed Skeleton and the girl had ’Innate Yin and Yang Eyes,’ and with the Three-eyed Skeleton being formidable, the passengers did not want to mess with him the hard way.

So, the girl was the best choice. With the Startling Bell, her level should be close to LV10. Not capable of causing much of a stir.

The passengers exchanged glances, all having similar thoughts unspoken. No passenger would mind having a couple more pieces of ’cargo.’

"Moreover, that girl’s companion got on the train with the goal of trading the ’Philosopher’s Stone.’ There should be plenty of good stuff in her [Backpack]."

"The price for the trade is to become cargo... If he really dares to do so. That would save us a lot of trouble."

"We’ll see, that guy might not agree to such terms."

The passengers pondered silently and started contacting their allies through [Friends], spreading the news.

....

Elsewhere, after sensing the changes around him, the Moon God looked at the Three-eyed Skeleton and said, "Is this the price you speak of?"

"Don’t say that, human. I haven’t forced you," the Three-eyed Skeleton replied with a sinister laugh, "You can refuse and get off the train with your friends right now. That way, you can live on well enough. However, you will never be able to obtain the Philosopher’s Stone. And that obsession accompanying you will gradually wither away in the years to come."

Seeing that the Moon God didn’t respond.

The Three-eyed Skeleton continued, "Or, you can take all your supplies and compete against those large organizations at the auction. There are quite a few players who want to get their hands on the ’Philosopher’s Stone’."

The Three-eyed Skeleton slowly floated up, revealing his empty lower half. He was a skeletal demon with only an upper body. Playing with human emotions was his favorite pastime.

He had never intended to trade the Philosopher’s Stone to the Moon God, even though the Moon God’s offer was already quite generous. It could even boost the strength of a player organization by several notches.

But such special Secret Treasures were always priceless.

Especially in the face of players who were desperately in need, such an item could be traded for an unimaginable fortune.

The Three-eyed Skeleton had long known that a certain major organization would offer three pieces of Legendary Equipment, a Divine material quite suitable for him, and a rare Magic Eye as trade.

Because their leader had been burned to a slab of flesh with only a faint consciousness remaining and is now being sustained by special life-support equipment. Therefore, they urgently need the Philosopher’s Stone to save their leader.

This was the Three-eyed Skeleton’s best target.

Just like other Secret Treasures, the Philosopher’s Stone was incredibly expensive to those who found it useful.

And in the eyes of others, the Philosopher’s Stone was merely a relatively rare item.

For instance, in [Black Forest] where the Moon God resided, most people didn’t think the ’Philosopher’s Stone’ was more precious than hundreds of Spirit Fruits.

Water should be sold to those about to die of thirst to make the greatest profit. The Three-eyed Skeleton knew this all too well.

"So, is it to save yourself and watch that obsession wither," asked the Three-eyed Skeleton, "or... accept this price for the ’Philosopher’s Stone’?"

The Moon God remained silent; he was naturally aware of the malice from the Three-eyed Skeleton and the other passengers.

"Looking at the current situation, it seems I have dragged you down, Zhao," the Moon God said in a soft breath. He had invited Zhao Jiu onto the train solely to find this creature. The outcome turned out to be the same.

He had successfully located the Three-eyed Skeleton before the auction began, hopeful to obtain the ’Philosopher’s Stone.’ If not for Zhao Jiu’s help, he wouldn’t have been able to find the Three-eyed Skeleton even if he had searched the entire train.

But it was also because of this that he had brought Zhao Jiu into danger.

The opponent had not only recognized Zhao Jiu’s ’Innate Yin and Yang Eyes’ but had also revealed this to the passengers.

Now, those passengers all wanted to snatch those rare Magic Eyes and might attack Zhao Jiu at any moment.

No matter whether he accepted the price or not, Zhao Jiu wouldn’t be safe on the train anymore.

"You have only three days to make a choice!" the Three-eyed Skeleton reminded.

"Three days? There’s no need!" Moon God replied, "I already have the answer."

The only price he couldn’t pay, he had already lost within Yuezhou City... He had long since become fearless!

"I suppose, even if I become merchandise, even if I were to kill off the entire carriage’s passengers, you still wouldn’t hand over the Philosopher’s Stone, would you? But ultimately, you reminded me."

As the Moon God spoke, he pulled out the train ticket, under Zhao’s fearful gaze and the passengers’ excited watch.

He tore the ticket in two, transforming from a protected passenger into...

Merchandise!

"Once I become merchandise, couldn’t I just kill you and take the Philosopher’s Stone?"
