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

Chapter 129 Rich and Rich
This answer was indeed somewhat unexpected for Jiang Ran. After thinking for a moment, she still asked, "When you said you were born on Paro Island, did you mean... you hatched from those egg-like things on the island?"

Jiang Ran swore that she had actually seen a strange emotion similar to "solemnity" on the face of an ant.

Jin Yi didn't answer Jiang Ran's question, but suddenly became somewhat dejected: "I was out of my mind, why did I tell you all this? With your current strength, trying to find out things beyond your capabilities will only lead to your own destruction."

"You'll find out eventually..."

Jiang Ran couldn't help but roll her eyes. Fine, so you're all riddle tellers from Paro Island, huh?

For some reason, although the golden ant kept spouting vague and irrelevant information, Jiang Ran was surprisingly patient with it.

Perhaps the golden ants were relatively friendly from the start.

She sighed and compromised, "It's not convenient to talk about what happened on Paro Island, but what about the Holy Maiden? Can she at least give me some information? We're friends, after all, and a friend's enemy is your own enemy, right?"

Golden Ant: ...

It twitched its tentacles, not denying Jiang Ran's claims about "friends," and said in a calm voice, "There's nothing wrong with saying that. That so-called saintess... actually came from the City of Eternal Night."

“Even I don’t know where this person came from, but Shen values ​​her highly and even entrusted her with the management of his temple.”

Jiang Ran asked with some confusion, "Shen? Which 'shen'?"

Jin Yi, somewhat helplessly, carved a character on a nearby tree: "It's this Shen."

Jiang Ran suddenly realized: "Is that the name of that big-eyed guy? No wonder there's always a shadow-like thing around his eyes, it turns out it's fire."

When Jin Yi heard Jiang Ran call Shen "Big Eyes," she suddenly burst out laughing: "You certainly know how to come up with names... You're not going to keep calling me Golden Ant, are you!?"

Jiang Ran smiled slightly.

We're all adults... like adult ants, why ask so many questions?

While Jiang Ran remained silent, the golden ant said in frustration, "This is just my mimicry!! I'm not an adult yet, so I can only show myself in my most basic form. Don't call me an ant! My name is Ant."

Ant... isn't this still an ant?!

Jiang Ran didn't know why the golden ant was so insistent on this, but she still readily agreed, "Okay, Ant, I understand, Ant."

Ant sighed: "I find you quite agreeable, but don't cause too much trouble. It's not a big deal to offend the Holy Maiden, but if you offend Shen, no one can protect you."

"Ever since He completely sealed that giant octopus away, the entire Paro Island has become His territory, and even I can't gain any advantage. You... never mind, I shouldn't have been here in the first place."

"You're my first friend. Don't die. Come find me on Paro Island. I'll protect you."

After saying that, it disappeared from the spot, just like when they first met.

Suddenly, a diamond treasure chest appeared in mid-air and fell straight down in front of Jiang Ran's feet.

Jiang Ran didn't even have a chance to ask: "That giant octopus you mentioned that was sealed away... could it be the one that's been chasing her?"

She lowered her eyes, staring blankly at the glittering treasure chest.

Although Jiang Ran didn't know Ant's true identity, she was pretty sure that it was the unknown creature that hatched from one of the many scattered eggs on Paro Island.

According to it, it might remain in the form of an ant because it hasn't fully matured. When it grows up... could it be the second Big Eyeball? Or perhaps, Big Eyeball and that giant octopus, like Ant, were born on Paro Island?

This also explains why, even though the Big Eyes has become a so-called "god," it is still constrained by Paro Island.

Combining this with the previous statement in the Disqualified Man's Notebook, it's not hard to deduce that both the Saintess and the giant eyeball behind her ultimately have only one goal: the legendary "heart" located beneath the City of Eternal Night.

Thinking about this, Jiang Ran's thoughts suddenly started to wander.

If controlling the heart means controlling Paro Island... then in the eyes of these creatures, wouldn't I be a tempting cake, a cake that smells delicious, as I venture deep into the heart of the heart and take everything I want?

No wonder both sides are relentlessly pursuing him.

Tsk.

But then again, since she has a natural advantage over the heart in the eyes of the group of alien gods with big eyes, doesn't that mean she's actually among the candidates to "control Paro Island"?!

Since we've already offended both sides, we might as well escalate the situation even further.

Jiang Ran wasn't particularly interested in whether or not she controlled Paro Island.

But if you say that doing this will break the defenses of Big Eyeball and the Giant Octopus... then she'll do it even if it kills her!
Her happiness comes from the unhappiness of her enemies!
Thinking this, Jiang Ran kicked the treasure chest open with her toe.

She had thought it would be similar to the last time, but Ant really gave her a big surprise.

Inside the box was a complete map of Paro Island!
In addition, there was a bunch of currency-like things of unknown material. When Jiang Ran picked them up, the system prompted: Pick up 10000 Doomsday Coins.

Jiang Ran: !!!
Take less? ?
She opened two top-ranked treasure chests and only managed to scrape together 200 Doomsday Coins, and before she even figured out what they were for, Ant casually gave her 10,000?!
Before Jiang Ran could react, the system notification sounded again.

[Player's Doomsday Coins have reached Level 1. The Basic VIP Shop is now open for you. You can directly access the original Train Shop interface to view items.]

Good heavens! Although Jiang Ran had long suspected that these so-called doomsday coins were a different form of currency and might be usable on Paro Island.

I didn't expect it to be connected to the train's shopping mall.

Even she, who possessed the most abundant supplies on the entire train, couldn't access the shop; she wanted to see what kind of things were inside.

Upon opening the package, Jiang Ran looked at the dazzling array of goods and finally lowered her proud head.

Exclusive physique enhancement cards, advanced blank item cards, rare metallic metals for weapons...

These things are just casually displayed on the shelves.

Jiang Ran even saw a product called "Dao Seed" at the very top; the golden seed looked so familiar.

Of course, the zeros following the price can also be quite overwhelming.

No wonder it can only be opened when you have 10,000 Doomsday Coins. The cheapest items inside start at 1000 Doomsday Coins, such as the exclusive physique enhancement card that Jiang Ran saw at a glance.

But as Jiang Ran browsed the goods, she couldn't help but think that if the currency Ant gave her was also the common currency of Paro Island...

Can people from Paro Island also buy things in this mall?
