Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 288 The Second Bullet Train

—A few days ago, during Di Xing's duel with Xiao Yi—

Qu Dazui looked at the beautiful girl in the kimono in front of him with suspicion. "W-who are you?"

Qu Dazui has been very depressed lately. The fire during the Great Shock caused him heavy losses, and the Lloyd family, his backers, have also become suspicious of him and are preparing to send people to inspect his old car yard.

This investigation will likely expose not only his illegal vehicle modifications, but also his falsification of accounts. That damned Ace! If only he'd arrived a little earlier! And that guy even hit me!

My name is Immortal Dao Chronicles.

Pulled back to his senses by Xian Dao Shen Ji's answer, Qu Da Zui continued to ask, "Xian Dao... Shen Ji? I remember that name, isn't he a member of some illegal organization? Wasn't your boss arrested?"

"He was captured by Mr. Di Xing."

Speaking of Di Xing, Qu Da Zui immediately thought of that annoying guy. It was he who exposed Ace's illegal vehicle modifications. He didn't know the guy's name at first, but that guy had been making headlines lately, even being hailed as a hero by the people on the fourth floor. However, he'd recently heard that he was actually a lackey of some noble family on the second floor.

"You should also know that Mr. Dixing is actually a member of the Leppard family."

The Lebbard family!? Qu Dazui's eyes widened. The Lloyd family behind him was only a low-ranking noble family on the second floor, making their fortune by selling used cars. They were nowhere near comparable to the Lebbard family, the six-pointed star family that controlled the entire financial industry of Duskwood.

"And we Dark Machines are also members of the Lepard family. The arrest of the Master Craftsman was just a charade we put on for those fools on the Fourth Floor."

"I see," Qu Dazui immediately changed to a fawning expression. "Then what do you need me for?"

"We have orders directly from the head of the Leppard family, and we need your help."

"Of course, of course, please tell me."

We need to rent a car.

"Oh, car rental? But we only sell cars here."

"Mr. Qu Dazui, are you not going to give the Leppard family any face?"

"No, no, no, I'll rent it! I'll rent it!"

"And so, the Immortal Dao Divine Era successfully rented cars and, with the help of Su Wandi and others, transferred people out of Muwu Dulun in batches. Then, at the same time that Di Xing and the others set off, they also secretly set off and successfully met up with Di Xing."

......

"What's the situation on the fourth floor now?" Di Xing asked anxiously.

"The situation is not optimistic. Due to the rising temperature, the potatoes are rotting even faster than before. Moreover, those despicable Hexagram family members have attacked the frozen potato storage facilities in various districts. Famine has already begun to appear on the fourth floor. By the way, why are only you guys out? Where are the others?"

Di Xing briefly explained the situation to Su Wandi, who was piloting the Ice Flame Express, and the Immortal Dao Divine Chronicles and others.

"So, what should we do now? Drive in and rescue Vitty and the others?"

"No, these used cars can barely move in the mud either."

"What should I do?"

Di Xing revealed a smug smile, "Next comes the key to Plan C, Nami, it's up to you!"

Nami took out the Bullet Train card and went aboard the Ice Flame Express. She inserted the card into the pre-prepared slot. Since she had now left the Forbidden Spirit Domain, her spirit power was usable. Nami slowly infused her spirit power into the card.

With the infusion of spirit power, the appearance of the Ice Flame Express began to change. The bullet train possessed it, and then the power of the card covered all the second-hand cars behind it, and a new bullet train appeared once again.

"Wow, that's amazing, Nami!" Immortal Chronicle exclaimed. "Wow! Nami, why are you all sweaty!"

Because it wasn't a vessel specifically designed for the bullet train, it consumed an extraordinary amount of energy. Nami was already sweating profusely. "N-nothing, let's hurry up and go."

"Where are we going?" Su Wandi tilted her head.

"Of course, we're going back to the fourth floor," Di Xing said smugly.

"But we don't have any food on the cart!" Immortal Dao Divine Chronicle asked anxiously.

"Who else knows besides us?"

Hearing this, Su Wandi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. You wanted the Six-Pointed Star family to think that we broke through the Spirit Forbidden Domain and successfully brought out the food, but what good does that do? We still have no food."

"Don't worry, as long as we drive the bullet train closer to Duskwood, food will appear in the market."

"？？？"

......

The new bullet train traveled smoothly across the desolate continent of Enderara. Because it was a makeshift train, its speed was particularly slow, which, however, perfectly mimicked the speed of a train loaded with grain.

Ahead of the locomotive, the towering peak of Durum Hill could be faintly seen on the horizon, and the train came into the view of many scouts.

Upon spotting the train, these spies from different factions immediately relayed the message to their respective families.

......

“Father!” Ledu Lepard strode into his father Reid’s office. “The grain train from Dixing is almost at Durum!”

"Hahaha!" The usually impeccably composed Reed Leppard burst into laughter again. "He actually broke through the Forbidden Spirit Domain?"

"Father, communication is impossible within the Forbidden Spirit Realm. We don't know what's happening inside. Could it be..."

“I know your concerns, Leidu. You’re worried that it’s just a smokescreen, but card sprites of the scale of the Bullet Train can’t be easily materialized and maintained for a long time, unless, like that kid did before, a dedicated large-scale vessel is created in advance. And what you don’t know is that before that Di Xing set off, quite a few second-hand cars had already driven to the wilderness outside the city.”

"What!?"

"That might be a pre-planned scheme by that kid, like using these secondhand cars to pull a train full of grain, since we know nothing about the situation inside the Forbidden Spirit Domain."

"But it's also possible they're bluffing."

“That’s right, but Leidu, we don’t need to take any risks. Have you investigated how many times the price of grain has increased in the market?”

"Each type of grain is slightly different, but on average, it's five times."

"That's right, so all we need to do is throw out the grain we've prepared beforehand, and we can immediately earn a considerable sum of money."

For Father Reed to call it a considerable sum, this income must be a genuine fortune. The Leppard family had stockpiled this grain beforehand precisely because they didn't want the Gaco family to reap all the benefits. Now it seemed their decision was absolutely correct. However, "if Dixing and his men are really just bluffing, then the price of grain will definitely be even higher."

“Leidu, my family is in finance. You should know the importance of knowing when to stop. Selling grain isn’t our specialty. Making a profit is already quite good. Besides, if that kid’s train really does have grain on it, we’ll be stuck with this batch of grain.”

“You’re right, Father. No amount of expectation of profit can compare to real money in your hands. I’ll arrange the sale now.”

"The price can be a bit lower than the market price. The other four old foxes are probably thinking the same thing. Hmph, Allen, now it's your turn to have a headache."
