177: The Calm Before the Storm

After listening, Luo Chen had a general grasp of the six women's situations, mainly understanding their Destinies, which involved the rewards they could receive in the future.

For example, Wang Wanru's Traveler-level Order Destiny meant that for every additional person on his Train, she could receive two more star coins daily. With about a hundred people currently on his Train, she could get over two hundred star coins every day.

Li Shishi's Walker-level Trickery Destiny allowed her to teleport herself and one other person a certain distance at will, and for long-distance fixed-point teleportation. Although this ability wasn't very useful in everyday life, it could play an unexpected role in critical moments, such as for escaping.

As for Jiang Miaoxuan's Artisan Destiny, although he couldn't think of any use for it at the moment, since Fei Lan had taken her, it probably had effects he wasn't aware of.

The Destinies of the other three women were already present on his Train, so there was no need for special attention, but the benefits were also very obvious. Since he possessed the corresponding tokens, they would quickly be able to increase their strength.

Luo Chen looked at Luo Wan Ning and said, "Wan Ning, just distribute them according to their respective abilities and Destinies!"

Now, the eight major Destinies of the Civilization Faction were gathered on his Train.

Luo Wan Ning put down her pen and nodded. By now, she had already finished her arrangements. The work distribution on the Train was relatively simple and didn't require her to rack her brain too much.

Afterward, Luo Wan Ning announced her arrangements. Luo Chen looked at Qin Mengyue and Ning Kexin, who were sitting in the corner.

The two women felt Luo Chen's gaze and showed a smile on their faces. Qin Mengyue nodded slightly.

Luo Chen immediately understood her meaning, assuming she had agreed. A smug smile appeared on his face.

Qin Mengyue rolled her eyes, knowing he had gotten his way again.

The meeting adjourned. Qin Mengyue followed Luo Chen to the cockpit, preparing to finish the matters of the affiliated Train with him first.

"Are you sure? Once confirmed, there's no turning back!" Luo Chen asked with a smile, taking out and activating the golden core [partner with you].

"I'm sure!" Qin Mengyue unhesitatingly filled in her Train number on the screen and clicked confirm.

When she saw the prompt "You have successfully added Train ECB08888 as an affiliated Train," she felt a sensation similar to when she had given up some company shares for the company's development back then.

"Can you first let Shirasawa Erina hand over the Train's transactions to me, and also some of the supplies on the Train? I need enough transaction volume to get the god of wealth's token."

Qin Mengyue looked at Luo Chen expectantly. Getting the god of wealth's token as soon as possible was the biggest reason for her agreement.

Only by continuously possessing the token could she continuously improve her strength. Even if they could awaken at the Wanderer Commerce Guild, they would leave in a few days, and after that, she would still have to find her own way.

"You can! Do whatever you want!" Luo Chen agreed directly!

Shirasawa Erina also needed the Wealth Token to awaken, so she wouldn't refuse. He wouldn't refuse either. No matter how much Qin Mengyue earned, the money was his, and the person was his too.

"Thank you!" Qin Mengyue thanked him and asked, "Oh, right! Are you going out to recruit Train Conductors? I've already sent people out on my side!"

"Let's go!" Luo Chen nodded. If there were pretty ones, he wanted to recruit some more to keep in reserve.

Subsequently, Luo Chen led the women on the Train off the Train. Being cooped up in the Train every day, they needed to come out and relax.

"Wow! Why are there so many people?" As soon as the Train door opened, the women exclaimed in surprise at the sea of people before them.

In the passageway between their Train and other Trains, countless men and women walked around chatting and laughing. They glanced at the women coming down from the Train, and aside from being surprised by their beauty, they made no other movements, still chatting and laughing as they headed towards the center.

During this period, violent incidents had constantly occurred, and one wrong move could lead to death. This made their behavior much more restrained. Even if they had thoughts, they would control themselves and avoid conflict with others, especially since some of them had awakened their strength.

Qin Mengyue followed, explaining to everyone as she walked, "It seems that Trains from other places have all gathered here, causing the population to grow. Even now, Trains are still arriving, and it will probably be packed with people in the future."

Luo Chen and the women looked around excitedly. This environment made them feel as if they were back to traveling in Xia Country on Blue Star.

Heads bobbed, shoulders brushed, and the surrounding Trains seemed to transform into tall buildings, while they became tourists among them.

Following the crowd, they arrived at the Wanderer Commerce Guild. There were even more people here, and rows of vendors had appeared.

Some were selling snacks, clothes, and various goods, while others performed street talents—fighting and swearing were all present.

"You stinking bitch, it hasn't even been a month, and you've already given me dozens of green hats, and now you're even soliciting customers here." A man grabbed a disheveled woman's hair, slapping her while cursing loudly.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! This isn't my fault. If I didn't do this, I might have died long ago! Besides, weren't you whoring around outside too? Otherwise, how would you have found me here?" The woman retorted defiantly, her face showing an expression of innocence.

Not far from them, another couple was arguing.

"You, Wang Guifen, you're a ruthless one. Damn it, if the Train hadn't teleported the children to me, I wouldn't have known until I died that my two sons, whom I raised by working hard every day, weren't mine at all."

"So what if they're not yours? Putting aside the facts, they've called you 'Dad' for so many years. Are you going to deny that they're your sons now?"
