67: Echo Archives

"Luo Chen, can you help us promote it? I see many men who want to join your Train. I'm thinking if we can attract them to our Train. Just say that we are your subordinate Train, and our Train needs some people. Today, we were digging soil, and we didn't have enough manpower."

Immediately after, a second message was sent.

"The soil, you should have received it, right? We've all transferred it to that little girl, Yu Yao. She said she's the contact person you arranged."

Was he afraid that his subordinates hadn't told him? Or was she too embarrassed to make a request and wanted to show off her capabilities as a bargaining chip first?

Dongfang Yuyao was designated by him to handle external affairs.

He hadn't seen her since he returned from outside this morning. Could it be that she had too much to do and forgot to tell him?

He opened the light screen and sent a message to Dongfang Yuyao, asking for the specific situation.

Soon, she replied, confirming that what Jiang Zhi said was true.

The five people on their Train spent two hours digging more than ten cubic meters of soil and sent it all over.

As for why she wasn't there, it was because she was currently planting the collected plants at the planting station in the planting compartment.

Luo Chen looked at the information on the light screen and raised an eyebrow.

Having someone help collect resources indeed made things much faster. If it weren't for Jiang Zhi and his group, he wouldn't have been able to collect so much soil while also collecting plants.

Making money quickly, it really had to rely on others working for him; that was the way to go.

If this method was followed, it seemed that having more people was not a problem. The more people there were, the more resources they could help him gather.

Having made up his mind, Luo Chen decided to agree to Jiang Zhi's request.

"Okay! I'll mention it in the chat room."

After replying to Jiang Zhi, Luo Chen returned to the chat room.

"Males interested in joining can contact Train Conductor ECB14521. He is my allied Train, and all food supplies on his Train are provided by me."

The male compatriots, who had originally been somewhat disheartened, became excited again upon seeing Luo Chen's message.

More than ten days of experience had quietly shattered the protagonist dreams of most people. Now, they just wanted to find a strong backer to huddle together for warmth.

Living alone was too difficult; not only did they have to worry about food, but they also faced various dangers every day, and they didn't even have anyone to talk to, only staring at the screen, sending useless messages, and then laughing foolishly.

"That's great! We male compatriots are saved."

"I'm signing up. If I have a white core, can I get a Vice Train Captain position?"

"Zombies shattered my protagonist soul; from now on, I'm just an ordinary person. Wuwuwu! I also want to cling to a strong backer."

When Ye Fan saw the message, he quickly edited one and then sent a private message to Jiang Zhi.

These past few days, he had been utterly unlucky.

Three days ago, his only good brother was killed by a zombie in front of him. Yesterday, his girlfriend was captured by Goblins, and her fate remains unknown.

Now he was the only one left on the Train, and his food was almost depleted. He didn't even know if he could hold on.

Now, the top-ranked big shot was recruiting people, and most importantly, this big shot also had an endless supply of water.

If he joined, he shouldn't have to worry about water and food anymore, right? Most importantly, he could meet many people there.

As for joining the Xia Kingdom court, he had never considered it.

As an ordinary person, joining a mature force like the Great Xia court would not offer much room for advancement.

Those old masters had controlled power through their descendants on Blue Star, and it would be the same after entering the interstellar space.

How many resources would an ordinary person with no background get?

It would be better to join a newly established force, work hard, and still have a chance to become an elder.

Especially since this force belonged to the top-ranked big shot in the region, there was no need to worry about whether it would succeed... "Who are you? Let Su Jinxuan go."

Luo Chen watched warily as an exquisite woman with a graceful figure stood beside Su Jinxuan.

Her purple hair was draped with a light purple veil, which fluttered slightly without wind, and her beautiful face wore a faint smile.

Above her head, there was a line of information provided by the All-Seeing Eye.

"Name: Si Xier"

"Gender: Female"

"Age: 124 years old"

"Purpose: Memory. Memory Alterer"

"Combat Level: Awakened Sixty-eighth Stage"

"Identity: Second-generation Train Conductor, from the Shu Star System, one of the eighteen ancestral stars of the human race."

"Young Master, no need to be nervous! I have no ill intentions! If you don't believe me, you can ask your wife here."

The woman smiled slightly, her voice carrying a hint of teasing, completely disregarding Luo Chen's warning.

She turned her head and said softly to Su Jinxuan beside her, "Jinxuan, please explain to your husband!"

"Luo Chen, Miss Si Xier indeed has no ill intentions. She comes from Echo Archives, one of the forces of the God of Memory, and she's here to discuss cooperation with us."

Su Jinxuan nodded, stepped forward, and looked at Luo Chen, explaining.

Si Xier, her name was the same as what the All-Seeing Eye showed, proving that her name was real, and she wasn't lying about that.

Luo Chen's expression relaxed, but he was secretly prepared to use spatial confinement at any moment.

He just didn't know if he could imprison a level sixty-five expert.

"What cooperation? You, a sixty-eighth stage expert, I don't know what you have to say to me, a third-stage Calamity."

Luo Chen pouted, looking at the woman named Si Xier.

He inwardly cursed, the power gap was so huge, calling it cooperation was actually just using power to suppress others.

Hearing "Awakened Sixty-eighth Stage," Su Jinxuan immediately distanced herself from Si Xier.

She had already completed her awakening and could understand what "Awakened Sixty-eighth Stage" meant. This strength was far superior to hers.

"You can see through my strength?" Si Xier ignored Su Jinxuan. She looked at Luo Chen in surprise and asked.

Suddenly, she remembered the function of a golden core she had heard about before and blurted out, "All-Seeing Eye?"

"What is that? I don't know what you're talking about." Luo Chen asked, feigning confusion.

"Hehe!" Si Xier smiled charmingly:

"I said I have no ill intentions. Your current strength is too low, so you might not be aware, but you have the Guardians of the Navigation Council by your side. They are directly controlled by the gods and specifically monitor other Train Conductors who interfere with newcomers. I wouldn't dare to provoke them, otherwise, the force behind me would definitely not protect me at the cost of offending them."

After speaking, she patted her chest with some lingering fear, looking at Luo Chen with a frightened expression, and said coquettishly, "Young Master, you wouldn't hand this little girl over to them, would you?"

What a vixen.

Luo Chen inwardly grumbled, but said aloud, "I wouldn't dare."

Si Xier chuckled.

Since she dared to come, she naturally wasn't afraid of the Navigation Council discovering her.

"You should be glad you met our Echo Archives. If you had encountered the Oracle Court, your memories might not be like this. Those guys love nothing more than altering other people's memories."

"Oracle Court, what is that? Aren't the divine forces all together?"

"Of course not. Where there are people, there are forces. Even if they follow the same god, different understandings of the god naturally lead to different forces."

"Then what is your purpose?"

"Our purpose is very simple, which is to collect various precious memories. All living beings constantly dissipate memory essence, and these memory essences not only contain memories but also a lot of energy. Our goal is these memory essences."

Si Xier took out two energy crystals, tossed them in her hand, and continued, "So, as long as you let me set up an outpost on your Train for us to collect memories, in return, we will also give you energy crystals as compensation. That stuff is useless to us."

"Can I refuse?"

"Of course you can, but even if you don't choose us, you will be courted by other memory forces next time. However, the other forces that come next time won't be as easy to talk to as I am. After all, Su Jinxuan's talent is good, and I believe many memory forces would want to get her."

"I'm sorry! If I've caused you trouble, I can leave with her."

Su Jinxuan looked at Luo Chen with a face full of guilt. If it weren't for her, these things wouldn't have happened to Luo Chen.

"It's fine! Your talent is good, which proves you have potential for development and can help me a lot in the future. This is a good thing."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, comforting her.

"I didn't expect your character to be quite good, at least you're not someone who would abandon his woman out of fear."
