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

Chapter 188 Please don't let me find you!

Jiang Ran was unaware of Xiao Bai's worries, and even if she did, it wouldn't make a difference.

It was as if she had been thrown back to square one overnight, with no space, no supplies, no skills, and no tools.

There was nothing left, she was all alone.

She looked around at her surroundings. The huge luxury cruise ship was sailing on the vast sea. The colorful lights on the ship's hull were dazzling, but the sea was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.

Soon, Jiang Ran noticed that fog seemed to be rising on the sea.

The faint sound of the waves crashing on the sea, which could still be heard, gradually faded away.

Is this space separate from the game?

Jiang Ran tentatively jumped twice on the deck, then breathed a sigh of relief—although those external things were temporarily unusable, the good news was that her physical condition hadn't changed much.

That'll do.

She recalled what the magical girl had told her about the cruise ship, and was somewhat unsure about the rules of this instance within an instance.

If this is something the developers came up with to increase the difficulty for players, why didn't they start it the first time they brought them in?

Instead, they simply handed them an invitation out of nowhere and then abandoned them.

If I remember correctly, that guy with the big front tooth said that he used a skill when he was first pulled into this place, which proves that there must be something different between then and now.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran's expression became somewhat strange—could this be a specially customized version for her?
But that doesn't make sense either.

Big Tooth was sent to a strange village, while he, like the magical girl, was transported to this cruise ship.

What about everyone else?
Many people received invitations, but within a very short period of time, they all blocked their profile pictures.

Jiang Ran couldn't help but suspect that perhaps it was because they were transported to the same place as her the second time, where they couldn't use those external objects.

Furthermore, considering the time those people spent with their avatars blacked out, the flow of time here might even be different from that in the instance.

Just as Jiang Ran was deep in thought, the ship's loudspeaker suddenly blared: "Dear passengers, welcome aboard the luxury cruise ship Wavebreaker. We have prepared exquisite food for you in the banquet hall on the top floor. Please be sure to arrive before 20 PM."

"Otherwise... the captain might get very angry."

Jiang Ran lowered her eyes. There was nothing around her that could indicate the time. Was the sudden imposition of a time limit an attempt to use the rules to kill her here?
If all of this was done by Big Eyeball, then Jiang Ran wouldn't be surprised.

Perhaps in its view, it only relies on the "conveniences" provided to players by the will of the blue planet, so as long as these external things are taken away, it can easily kill itself.

On the other hand, for players who have become somewhat numb to the natural disasters in dungeons, this type of dungeon might be more likely to evoke the fear in their hearts.

In short, having big eyes is a win-win situation.

As for the magical girl, Jiang Ran never suspected that she was deliberately setting her up. Her only worry now was where Xiaobai had gone.

Hopefully, if they stay at the magical girl pub, they won't start fighting...

Jiang Ran quickly analyzed the situation as she ran towards the top floor of the cruise ship.

She wasn't worried about encountering any demons or monsters; her only concern was that the big-eyed creature would cheat.

In this kind of rule-based domain, setting up a few specific rules is incredibly simple. For example…

Jiang Ran felt a little nauseous when she saw the fish-headed, human-bodied creatures that appeared at the bottom of the stairs.

She sneered, "You think you can make me late this way? How incompetent are you, you big-eyed girl?"

The fish-men didn't care what Jiang Ran was saying and surged towards her one after another.

Jiang Ran soon realized that this was an open conspiracy.

Because these fishmen weren't actually that strong in combat, but they were not only tough, but their bodies were also covered in slippery mucus. Jiang Ran had no other weapons, only his fists.

Once your hands are covered in that slime, hitting the fish heads with the hammer will reduce the force considerably.

On the other hand, these fishmen seemed to appear out of nowhere, seemingly endless.

They completely blocked the way upstairs, and could see nothing but Jiang Ran.

Their only attack method is to open their mouths wide enough to split the head in two and bite down hard.

Jiang Ran realized at a glance that reaching the top floor via this staircase was practically an impossible task.

Even if they couldn't harm him in the slightest, even if he could easily turn them all into corpses, the slime covering the floor and walls of the stairwell made it impossible for anyone to cross it.

No, we have to find another way!

Jiang Ran stopped hesitating and turned to run.

The fishmen, naturally drooling, relentlessly pursued him, leaving a trail of slime on the ground. Forget about passing through; anyone who stepped on it would likely be unable to get up.

However, misfortunes never come singly. Just as Jiang Ran ran onto the deck, the ship's loudspeaker blared again.

"Dear guest, tonight's dinner has been meticulously prepared by the captain, and we hope you can arrive on time. However, there are only three minutes left before our dinner begins."

"What a pity, what a pity. If you can't get to the banquet hall within three minutes, the captain's anger will be hard to quell..."

Hearing this blatant malice and gloating, Jiang Ran almost laughed out of anger.

She kicked a whole string of mermen away and said calmly into the direction of the loudspeaker, "Is this how you treat your VIPs? Which shipping crew are you from? I'm going to file a complaint against you."

The voice on the loudspeaker carried a hint of disdain: "Oh my god, that's absolutely terrifying. But I hope you understand, only living people can file complaints. And you... tsk tsk."

Jiang Ran grinned: "I'm always more proactive than anyone else when it comes to filing complaints, so just don't let me find out!"

After saying that, she casually wiped the sticky substance off the soles of her shoes, then took a running start and charged toward the ship's side like a cannonball.

Amidst the mocking voices on the radio saying, "You'd rather die like this than not die a quick death," she stepped onto the handrail, exerted force, and leaped directly toward the second-floor ship's side!
The railing she used for leverage even dented the spot where she stepped on it!

A sharp noise suddenly came from the radio, as if something had hit the microphone.

Jiang Ran didn't have much time. She wasn't sure what the consequences of breaking the rules would be in this dungeon within a dungeon, but if she were really that shrewd, she probably wouldn't leave the players any way out, especially herself.

Therefore, Jiang Ran didn't waste any words and directly used this extremely hardcore method to jump all the way to the top floor.
