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

Chapter 130 Exclusive Physique Enhancement Card

Jiang Ran frowned as she browsed through the dazzling array of goods, finally realizing that she had been unconsciously overlooking something very important.

—The physical stat boosts she bought in the game didn't change at all when she went to Paro Island or even Sunset City!

In other words, these two places are actually shared with the game, or rather, the environment within the instance!

Because the teleportation went so smoothly before, and because she was used to this method of transfer in the game, Jiang Ran unconsciously ignored this slight anomaly.

After all, Jiang Ran's initial understanding of Paro Island was that it was a place that could be visited after certain conditions were met.

But she believes that going there must have broken through some kind of barrier, similar to the transition from the two-dimensional to the three-dimensional world.

But everything that happened today made her think about a question involuntarily—is Paro Island really what is called "reality"?

If so, then why can she bring everything she gets in the game to Paro Island without any hindrance?
Ante's words suddenly flashed through Jiang Ran's mind.

“I want Paro Island to return to its original state.”

Could the "original" it refers to be before Paro Island became the fulcrum of this bizarre doomsday train game, or even before it was swallowed up?
Yes, Jiang Ran now even feels that things might have turned out this way because some kind of change caused the game world and Paro Island to gradually merge together!
Otherwise, there's no way to explain why Jiang Ran was able to enter Paro Island with a backpack from the game world.

Unless... Jiang Ran thought that the Paro Island she had arrived at was actually just the "Paro Island" in the game.

Because she never left the game world, she was able to bring everything from the game with her.

The giant eyeball and the giant octopus might just be bosses in the game, and Ant is merely a friendly NPC who interacts with players...

This seems to explain these irrationalities.

But Jiang Ran's intuition told her that the previous guess might be closer to the truth.

With a soft sigh, Jiang Ran realized that most of the time she had been in the game with clear goals and full of enthusiasm.

After her brain had been working at high speed for so long, she felt unusually lost.

If Paro Island, which she thought was the end, is actually still part of the game world, then what should become of her original goal?
"Master, when did you return?"

Jiang Ran suddenly came to her senses and saw Xiao Bai standing at the foot of the hillside, holding two bread crabs as long as her arm, looking at her with a look of surprise.

She looked at the two bread crabs, whose mutations weren't too severe, but which were waving their four pincers and gripping Little White's arm tightly, and her expression was somewhat strange: "What are you doing...?"

Xiao Bai glanced down at his arm, still clamped in the pliers, and chuckled, "So fresh. Since you're back, I'm planning to start a fire and make you a seafood barbecue."

Upon hearing that there was delicious food, Jiang Ran instantly stopped feeling melancholic.

As Xiaobai busily grilled seafood for her, she quickly made peace with herself: so what if she couldn't escape the game even after arriving at Paro Island?
Even if she pops out her eyes and strings the giant octopus's tentacles into grilled squid, she can still live a carefree and unrestrained life, even if Paro Island really overlaps with the game.

As long as Xiaobai continues to diligently research various recipes and try to replicate them for her, it doesn't matter where we live our lives.

This realization reached its peak when Xiaobai handed him the incredibly sweet, tender, and juicy roasted crab legs.

After eating and drinking her fill, Jiang Ran was delighted to find that the giant octopus seemed unable to locate her while she was on the island.

Come to think of it, someone in the chat room seemed to have mentioned that it would be safer to stay on the island if there were no pirates or islanders around.

He surveyed the sea area with binoculars.

The calm waters made one involuntarily yawn. Jiang Ran was too lazy to retrieve the safe house, so she simply moved the ghost ship out of her spatial storage and placed it on the open ground at the top of the mountain. She then lay on the deck to sunbathe and look for any affordable items in the VIP shop.

However, many items in the store, including the exclusive physique enhancement card that Jiang Ran immediately took a liking to, are limited to one purchase per person.

I don't know if it's because of insufficient permissions.

Jiang Ran was initially worried that if she spent the money and her assets were less than 10,000 Doomsday Coins, the mall might close down. Therefore, she was prepared to only be able to buy one item.

Fortunately, once this mall is unlocked, it doesn't matter how much assets you have. Jiang Ran guessed that the next stage might be 100,000 or 500,000 Doomsday Coins.

Without the Ant Coins, relying solely on the weekly top-ranked chest would take forever to accumulate enough.

After receiving the physique enhancement card, Jiang Ran immediately clicked to use it.

Please select the area you wish to improve: Health, Constitution, Agility...

What surprised Jiang Ran the most was that this enhancement direction even included progress on mental reconstruction!
She chose to reconstruct the progress bar without hesitation.

Then it was discovered that after using the enhancement card, the progress bar increased by 5 percentage points!

This……

If she didn't lack Ant's contact information, she would have grabbed its tentacles immediately and begged it to buy this enhancement card for her!

Are all the people on Paro Island able to easily obtain these enhancement cards?
Therefore, in their eyes, these players in the game are as weak as ants.

After all, the enhancement items are readily available to them, while players have to work very hard to survive, and even climb to the top of the leaderboard, in order to get dozens or hundreds of Doomsday Coins.

It takes a long time of hard work to save up enough to barely qualify for a purchase.

Isn't it fair?

That's always been the case.

Some people are born in Rome and naturally don't understand those who struggle to survive in the mud.

Even Jiang Ran herself, before entering the game, didn't her living conditions surpass those of 80% of people?

Therefore, she had no time to feel unfair or aggrieved by these differences.

She cannot change the established facts, but the future is up to her to decide.

She should thank Ant for allowing her to climb a little higher and glimpse some of the "secrets of heaven".

If she doesn't make good use of this opportunity, she'll sit up and slap herself even if she's asleep in the middle of the night.

Soon, a shocking message suddenly popped up in the otherwise relatively quiet afternoon chat channel.

A legendary young lady from the top of the Heavenly Ranking.

[World] Miss: "I'm buying some things for you. I only accept Doomsday Coins. DM me if you're interested. No Doomsday Coins, please. 50% commission, no bargaining. If you try to bargain, you'll be blocked."

When writing about grilled squid, the author seemed to say: (with Xiaobai in her left arm and Ranran in her right) "Making our lives good is more important than anything else!"
