After ending the call, Bai Qi once again opened the system's task panel. After flipping through a few pages, he felt that the missions in the e657 universe were the most suitable for him to practice with.
After all, the upper limit of that world's power was not very high. He would be an invincible existence there, guaranteeing that the mission would be foolproof.
After confirming the chosen mission, Bai Qi prepared to depart. Before leaving, Bai Qi specifically instructed Afeng and the other two not to touch the Pan Ku treasure chest randomly until he returned.
[Timeless Mission: Pirate Terminator]
Synopsis: In the e657 universe, due to an invasion by void creatures, Whitebeard has been restored to his full strength, making it impossible for the Navy to defeat him. The host is requested to help the Navy defeat Whitebeard and his subordinates, enabling the Navy to proceed with Ace's execution.
Accept?
"Accept."
[Timeless Mission: Pirate Terminator accepted, determining coordinates...]
[Coordinates determined, e657 universe. Host, please proceed to an open area and wait. The Timeless Train will arrive in ten minutes.]
"Timeless Train? What the heck?"
Although he was unsure what the system was up to, Bai Qi obediently walked outside the holy palace to wait.
Ten minutes later, a giant spatial wormhole suddenly appeared in the distant sky. Then, a railway track emerged from the wormhole, extending all the way to Bai Qi.
After laying the track, a pure white train emerged from the wormhole and, following the tracks, arrived in front of Bai Qi. Once it stopped, the train's doors opened.
"Is this the Timeless Train?"
Bai Qi found the train before him rather novel. However, judging by the size of the door, his current physique would definitely not fit.
Bai Qi had no choice but to shrink his body to about 1.8 meters before entering the train.
The interior of the carriage was quite different from what Bai Qi had imagined.
The train didn't look very large from the outside, but upon entering, he found that the interior space was much more spacious than it appeared. The train walls were light yellow, and combined with the exquisite coffee-colored small sofas and tables, it gave off a cozy feeling.
Additionally, Bai Qi noticed a pink bar counter in the carriage. Behind the counter, various liquids that Bai Qi didn't recognize were displayed on the wall, seemingly some kind of beverages.
"Welcome aboard the Timeless Train, may I know what you..." A dragon!?"
As Bai Qi stepped onto the train, a female flight attendant in a leather outfit emerged from behind the bar counter, looking at Bai Qi with a smile. However, the moment she saw Bai Qi's appearance, she completely lost her composure.
She quickly retreated a few steps, putting distance between herself and Bai Qi. It was evident that the other party was startled by Bai Qi's appearance, and her legs trembled incessantly.
"Sir, no, Miss, no, Your Greatness, why... what... what is it..."
Facing the ferocious-looking Bai Qi, the attendant was so frightened that she became incoherent.
"Naomi, what's wrong?"
Hearing the commotion in the carriage, the door of the adjacent compartment opened, and six people, two women and four men, rushed in.
"A dragon? It really is a dragon."
"But why does this dragon look so... ugly?"
"It's strange that a dragon would be here in the first place."
After entering, the six people began to critique Bai Qi's appearance.
Slightly impatient, Bai Qi interrupted their conversation, saying, "Discussing someone's appearance in front of them doesn't seem very polite."
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry."
Bai Qi merely voiced a complaint, but unexpectedly, one of the six people, who seemed to be a straightforward person, bowed and apologized to Bai Qi.
"Dong, why are you apologizing?"
A cool-looking man with a braid next to him pulled up the apologizing Dong.
"Exactly." The woman supporting the trembling female attendant said, "Miss Naomi is so scared, you should be the one apologizing."
"As expected, women are all unreasonable creatures."
To be honest, Bai Qi hadn't moved from his spot since boarding the train. Moreover, he looked like this. Why should he apologize to them? And he was a demon, why should he apologize to mere humans?
Considering it was his first time riding the Timeless Train, Bai Qi had already been very restrained. If this were in his original world, anyone who dared to speak to him like this would have already been incinerated into ashes by a breath of dragon fire.
"Who are you calling unreasonable!" The woman, upon hearing Bai Qi's words, instantly exploded with anger and reprimanded, "You must apologize to Miss Naomi today!"
After speaking, she produced a red gun that looked like a toy from somewhere and pointed it at Bai Qi.
"Luka, don't do this."
The man previously addressed as Dong rushed forward to intervene.
Bai Qi, however, remained calm and sat down on the sofa.
Bai Qi looked up at Luka, who was holding the gun, and said, "I hate it most when people point guns at me. If you were in my world, you would be dead by now."
Bai Qi's words dripped with chilling intent, and everyone present knew that Bai Qi was not lying.
"Is that so? Then I'd really like to see."
With that, Luka ignored Dong's attempts to stop her and fired.
However, after exiting the barrel, the bullet did not fly more than half a meter before freezing in mid-air. Then, with a single glance from Bai Qi, the bullet was crushed in the air.
Witnessing Bai Qi's incredible ability, Luka directly took out a flip phone that looked like a toy, and with her other hand, she produced a key for a yellow doll.
Just then, the carriage door opened again, and a voice called out, "Stop."
Following the voice, a stylish middle-aged man in a suit slowly walked in.
From his attire, it was evident that the man lived a refined life: a crisp suit, gleaming leather shoes, pure white gloves, and a plain black cane in his hand.
Despite being middle-aged, there was no hint of middle-aged slovenliness about him.
"The Conductor."
Seeing the man, Naomi stepped aside and said.
The Conductor nodded to Naomi and said, "Leave this to me."
Then he walked up to Bai Qi.
"Are you the Conductor of this train?"
Before the other party could speak, Bai Qi asked first.
"Yes." The Conductor nodded politely and said, "I am the Conductor of this Timeless Train. On behalf of our employee, I offer you my sincerest apologies. We are very sorry for causing you any unnecessary trouble due to our oversight."
Seeing such a sincere apology, Bai Qi found it difficult to maintain his anger. Moreover, this human saw him without the slightest trace of fear, instead acting very nonchalantly, which was abnormal in itself.
"May I see your ticket?"
"Ticket?"
Dong Ji had boarded this train after accepting the system's mission, so he had no ticket.
"No ticket?" The Conductor said slowly, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Demon. You cannot board this train without a ticket."
"I don't have a ticket, but look at this, will it do?"
