Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 32: Engaging Character Design

Jiang Ran said unhurriedly, "You should all have heard of my boss's name, so I won't introduce him. Although you haven't had any conflicts before, everyone needs to develop their power, and you never know when you might run into each other."

"For example, right now, you've both set your sights on the same woman, and what our boss hates most is having others compete with him for what he wants. Bloodstained... no, I should call you, Yan Zikai. You're putting my boss in a difficult position."

If Yan Zikai was still somewhat hesitant after hearing Jiang Ran's earlier words, he could no longer sit still when Jiang Ran called out his name accurately.

Especially after seeing the news that the young lady in black stockings had acquired the teleportation card.

Although he had never seen a teleportation card, he could roughly guess its effects from the name.

Having a considerable number of item cards himself, he knew all too well how important real names were in the game—he was among those anonymous bounties for the names and information of the young ladies in black stockings.

But as Yan Zikai felt flustered, he was also overwhelmed by a great sense of humiliation.

Is this young lady in black stockings really that arrogant? Openly saying she wants to deal with me?!

Yan Zikai gritted his teeth and thought: When it comes to jumping, who could like jumping faces more than the black-stockinged young lady?

But ironically, he really couldn't do anything about this idiot.

After taking more than ten deep breaths to barely suppress his anger, Yan Zikai clenched his fists and comforted himself: He just didn't believe that someone as arrogant as Miss Black Silk could be completely without revealing any flaws!

Now that the young lady has started to develop her power and recruit followers, her information will inevitably be leaked sooner or later.

That will be the time for me to take my revenge!
For Yan Zikai, who is just starting out, someone who can even let his female subordinates wield guns and waste bullets at will is someone he really can't afford to offend.

It's a pity about his props, and also the "puppet" on Yuwei's body...

As his mind raced, Yan Zikai kept telling himself, "Never underestimate a young man's potential," while gritting his teeth and smiling humbly: "Not at all, please tell Miss that I have absolutely no intention of competing with him for her. I will unlock the prop effect now."

After he finished saying that, there was no further response from him.

Yuwei and the others didn't look too happy when they heard Jiang Ran's words.

The black-stockinged young lady is quite famous, and there is much speculation about her gender.

Especially the incident of the infighting in the last-class carriages, although the topic was forcibly changed, most people actually felt that the woman who posted it in the group chat was the black-stockinged young lady herself.

They dared not openly condemn her because of her tyrannical power.

But no one expected that the young lady was not only a man, but had also secretly begun to build her own power.

No wonder they are so wary.

One reason is just as Yan Zikai considered: although some people have taken guns out of the boxes, they are mostly homemade hunting rifles or small-caliber revolvers, which are generally not very powerful and have very few bullets.

But the gun in Jiang Ran's hand was not only a Browning that no one had ever fired before, but she also used three precious bullets to shoot at the door without any fear of wasting them!

Such extravagant behavior, and yet only one of the young lady's subordinates? The young lady's own strength must be even more unfathomable.

Secondly, the surviving train players now share the same opinion about the Black Silk Lady: she is short-tempered, brainless, and vindictive.

Although some people think that the young lady is deliberately pretending to be innocent and naive, and is actually very cunning, what cunning person would openly break into a group chat and openly buy teleportation cards to frame someone? What's even more infuriating is that despite his arrogance, no one can find a single clue about him, and they don't even know where to start if they want to seek revenge.

Yuwei couldn't decide whether it was more troublesome to be coveted by someone like Yan Zikai or to be targeted by the young lady in black stockings.

She looked at Jiang Ran with a tense expression: "I've never even met Miss Black Silk, and he probably wouldn't be interested in someone as insignificant as me. What he really wants is probably this skill card I have."

“I can sell it to you, but…”

The conditions he originally wanted to discuss seemed difficult to articulate when facing Jiang Ran's gun.

But Yuwei was indeed unwilling to give away such an S-level skill card for free.

Those who survive to the second instance have gradually realized the importance of high-level skill cards and item cards, especially S-level cards, which are basically hard to come by.

Yan Zikai was willing to deal with her because he somehow learned that S-level skill cards are unique and cannot be changed to another player after use.

Even if the player dies, the same skill card will not be refreshed.

Therefore, he didn't dare to push Yuwei too hard, for fear that she might just go all the way and bind the skill directly.

Yuwei herself knew that with such a skill card in hand, as long as it wasn't bound to anything, she and Yan Zikai would at least have some bargaining power.

Although Yuwei had also wondered how the black-stockinged young lady knew that she had such a skill card, the black-stockinged young lady never hid her high profile, so it seemed normal that she had her own channels.

After all, a lot of people openly and secretly cursed him, but he remained arrogant and domineering.

The table covered with bullets was the best testament to his strength.

In fact, Jiang Ran herself did not expect that the brainless remarks that Brother Long used to bait people would eventually become an integral part of the black-stockinged young lady persona.

But that's fine too. It's kind of exciting to think about someone who seems arrogant and brainless, yet no one can threaten her.

Jiang Ran roughly understood why Yuwei hesitated to speak, and very considerately said, "Don't worry, our boss always likes fair trades and won't let you lose too much."

Yuwei: ……

She really didn't want to understand what it meant by not losing too much.

But being able to get rid of this hot potato and use her status as a "black-stockinged young lady" to suppress Yan Zikai is definitely not a loss for her.

Jiang Ran used her powerful brick-flying account to make a transaction with Yuwei, completely dispelling Yuwei's guess that "the black-stockinged young lady might be the person in front of her."

Especially during the transaction, the young lady in black stockings also acquired several small props in the group chat.

Even though she offered a high price to buy it, no one traded the teleportation card with her.

I don’t know if the drop rate is too low or I simply don’t dare to sell it to her—after all, I always have to worry: what if I accidentally offend the young lady one day and the card ends up being used on me?
Finally, Jiang Ran pretended to "discuss" with the young lady in black stockings, and then traded a thick quilt and enough food and water for two days for Yuwei's skill card "Puppet".

The moment Jiang Ran received the skill card, she felt that Lady Luck had smiled upon her once again.
