CHOO-CHOOOOOO!
Back at the surface portal of East-Harbor Station, a silver Spirit-Furnace Freight Train thirty cars long burst out of the lower gate of the Great Sponge-Filter Seawall in a cloud of fragrant garlic steam!
Before the first train had even finished unloading onto the dockside conveyor belts, the whistle of the second train echoed from inside the glass tunnel—followed by the third, the fourth, and the fifth!
Every ten minutes like clockwork, another thirty-car freight train arrived straight from the forty-mile undersea front line, piled sky-high with steaming, glossy red Rank 5 Spicy Garlic-Butter Pincer-Crabs, golden-crispy Braised Electric Eels, and ten-foot Ginger-Scallion Tiger-Prawns!
Down on the ten-mile stretch of warm white sand in front of East-Harbor City, Pei Xuan had spent a casual 100 Million LP to fuse ten thousand beach drift-logs, glowing pearl lanterns, and self-cleaning stone grills into the Ten-Mile Beachside Seafood Night Market!
Even though it was only late afternoon, five million citizens from the Central Continent, Great Yan, the Red-Sand Oasis, and the Southern Demon Steppes had already poured off Warlord Hu Ba’s Double-Decker Rhino Buses and crowded onto the beach!
“Step right up! Freshly steamed Rank 5 Deep-Sea Armored Crab from the forty-mile ocean trench!”
