[The third station is the largest station the players have encountered so far, and six main features make this station special.
One: this station is the largest city, but it is not a city that can be looted. All the houses here are designed so that players can wash themselves and sleep comfortably in proper beds.
Two: before entering the station, all train rails merge together, but there is no problem with parking the trains because at the center of the station there is an underground train parking area large enough to technically accommodate 10,000 trains.
Three: at the center of this station, there is a gigantic trade area. Through the vending machines and NPCs located there, you can trade, or you can rent a small shop and sell your own products.
Four: the entrance of this station will remain open until seven days after the first player arrives, and players who arrive later will be forced to go around the station from the outside. Likewise, players who enter will not be able to leave the station until the entrance gate is locked. The main purpose of this rule is to reduce the gap between high level players and low level players.
Five: after leaving the station, players can choose to advance along any rail line they want, and PK becomes completely free. If a player destroys another player's train, the player whose train was destroyed is forced to choose between slavery or death.
Six: from the moment the first player enters this station, all channel 99 members will enter a shared server with the members of channels 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, and 98. The name of the newly formed server becomes Server 9, and its capacity increases from 10,000 players to 100,000 players.]
Leo stood in front of the floor to ceiling windows, drinking his hot coffee while listening to the explanations the little dragon was giving him.
In truth, he had already asked the little dragon about all of this information before, but while looking down at Station City 3 from the top of the skyscraper, he felt the need to form a plan in his head. That was why he asked the little dragon to explain everything once more.
"Little dragon, is there a cost to staying in those houses you mentioned? Do they work like hotels?"
[Yes and no, master. If a player only wants to take a bath and sleep without being disturbed, they can stay in any house anywhere in the city. But if they want to stay in the ten large buildings around the trade skyscraper, they need to pay an extra fee.]
"Why? Do those houses have special features?"
[Actually, almost no. The beds are just a bit more comfortable, and there is an alarm next to the bed. But in order to stay in those houses, you need to pay 100 coins per night.]
"For what?!"
The little dragon remained silent for a while before answering, then floated away with its ghostlike body toward the ten large buildings it had mentioned.
As soon as it came back, it explained the reason to Leo.
[From what I can see, there is a hidden achievement concealed in those houses. If someone sleeps in those houses for three consecutive nights, they can obtain a title called "Spendthrift" from the system.]
Leo raised one eyebrow and asked the little dragon about the effect of the title.
Hearing something like this did not surprise him much. In novels like this, things called titles were not that rare. To put it simply, titles were like special powers that could only be obtained by completing special achievements.
In global apocalypse and gamification novels, for example, if someone defeated an animal stronger than themselves with their bare hands, they could obtain a title like Hercules and permanently increase their strength by a percentage while using that title.
[Master, this title increases the chance of players obtaining coins from treasure chests.]
Leo was surprised by the answer he received.
Now, Leo could sell this information for an absurd price if he wanted, or he could distribute it for free and earn even more money from them at the next station.
Without needing to think much, Leo saw that the second option made more sense. Trading in a rich country was always more advantageous than trading in a poor country.
"Hey, little dragon. Selling information does not violate system rules, right?"
[If there are no flaws in your information, you can sell information, but I absolutely do not recommend it, master. If you truly want to sell information, please use the system function that unlocks when you reach level three.]
Leo knew what the little dragon was talking about.
Before encountering the small child at the last station, he had enough time to examine the system.
The new function the little dragon mentioned was about handing the item you wanted to sell to the system and then buying it back from the system later.
However, there was a problem with this function. If he used it, his plan to spread this information to everyone would become impossible.
How much the system would price that information at was, of course, a very obvious question.
"If the system locks, will I remain in this world?"
When the little dragon heard the question, it seemed to understand what Leo was thinking. It began flying around wildly and looked at Leo with fear.
[No, master. Before the system locks, it will confiscate all of your system points and experience points, and then send you back to your original world at the time you arrived.]
While continuing to think, Leo slightly lifted the thin long sleeved clothing he was wearing and looked at the system embedded in his chest.
The little dragon could not see the system on Leo's chest.
At that moment, Leo checked how much good luck and how much bad luck he had accumulated.
On the side of the cylinder shaped system, which was covered in golden lines and stood on Leo's chest pointing upward, there were two test tubes.
One test tube was filled halfway with golden energy, while only a small portion of the other test tube contained crimson energy.
The total amount of energy would fill at most sixty percent of a test tube.
That meant he would not be switching to a new system anytime soon... probably.
Once players flooded into the city, it would be inevitable for lucky and unlucky events to occur.
Thinking this, Leo first used almost all of his points just in case, purchasing some supernatural materials that interested him the most once the system reached level three.
After a while, Leo entered the storage room of his shop and looked inside.
Hundreds of magical pills that healed internal injuries, hundreds of magical pills that cured diseases, and hundreds of magical bandages of the type that had previously healed his broken bones.
Although Leo's primary goal was to increase his power, based on ten years of novel reading experience, he felt that a system was far less likely to grant the main character healing abilities than strengthening abilities.
And items that increased strength looked extremely unreliable.
After finishing his business here, Leo looked at the remaining 1,000 system points and asked the little dragon to gather all system rules that were considered flaws for selling information.
A few minutes later, Leo looked at the massive system window and, with a bitter smile, pulled a piece of paper and a pen in front of him to get to work.
