Samsara Space: They're all begging me to heal them one more time.

The video was carefully edited by Zhang Yuan, and the first 30 seconds are a complete and high-definition "Buff Showcase".

In the image, the man standing at the back of the group is like a god, radiating dazzling holy light.

The golden [Blessing of Honor], the blue [Blessing of Angels], the lightning-encircled [Revenge of Light], and the indestructible [Sanctuary Barrier]... the dazzling special effects are simply blinding.

These 30 seconds not only showcased the dazzling skills, but more importantly, they demonstrated the team's "foundation"—how terrifying must this support player be to master so many high-level buffs at the same time?

However, just as the tyrant charged in, and Ah Qiang and Lin Qingyue were about to unleash their full power—

The scene abruptly ended.

A pale gold payment box popped up on the screen:

Want to know what happens next? Pay 10 reward points to unlock the remaining segments!

[Bonus: Real-world data analysis of a top-tier D-level squad!]

"Lin Qingyue, zip up your leather jacket a little lower... no, I mean, use that image of you slaying the tyrant as the cover."

Zhang Yuan skillfully operated the trading section of the train forum.

"You...you're going to sell our combat data?" Lin Qingyue frowned. "Won't that expose our trump card?"

"The trump card?" Zhang Yuan laughed, a laugh like a fox that had stolen a chicken.

"This is just a performance show under normal circumstances. Our real trump cards, such as my [Divine Punishment Armament] and your [Demon Blade Liberation], have not even been shown."

"This is called 'information fog.' It makes others think that this is our entire strength, thus causing them to underestimate or fear us. Either way, it's beneficial to us."

"Set it to a paid viewing mode. Each view costs 10 reward points."

"10 points?" Ah Qiang was a little disappointed. "Boss, that's too cheap! Just your skills alone were worth ten or twenty thousand!"

"You don't understand." Zhang Yuan pushed up his glasses, revealing the kind of benevolent smile one would give someone watching leeks grow strong and healthy:

"If it costs 50 points, many hesitant people might not even bother looking. But 10 points? That's just the price of a roll of bandages. Who in the D-class trains can't afford 10 points?"

"That's called 'sunk cost.' Once they're already captivated by the special effects in the first 30 seconds, that agonizing feeling of 'just a hair's breadth away from the result' will make them spend money without hesitation."

"Small profits but quick turnover is the key to success."

As it turns out, Zhang Yuan was right.

In just ten minutes, this "instructional video" caused a sensation in the D-level area.

Countless reincarnators, who were stunned by the "human neon light" special effects in the first 30 seconds, clicked to pay almost without hesitation when they saw the payment prompt.

After all, a D-rank team capable of instantly defeating a C-rank Tyrant is extremely rare in the Bronze tier. Countless teams eager to curry favor with powerful opponents or gather intelligence generously contributed.

What's more, you'll see that earth-shattering slash at 10 o'clock; anyone who doesn't watch is a fool.

……

The notification tones blended into a pleasant symphony.

Seeing his account balance rise to over 2000 points at a visible speed, Zhang Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's a ruthless but effective business tactic."

He turned off the panel and waved to the three dumbfounded people.

"Alright, the public account funds are sufficient now. A-Qiang, go buy materials; Lin Qingyue, go buy supplies. Tao Tao... go buy some good food."

"During the rest time between train journeys, we need to get our bodies into the best condition."

-----------------

The next ten days or so were a bittersweet experience for the four members of the Apocalypse Squad.

In Zhang Yuan's dictionary, the so-called balance between work and rest usually means "high-intensity adaptive training" and "occasional breaks for relaxation".

Ah-Qiang practically lived in the gravity training room; his newly modified hydraulic shock-absorbing legs gave him unprecedented mobility.

He was like a heavy gorilla with springs on, jumping around the training field all day, trying to set up a Gatling gun and fire while sliding at high speed.

Although he often tumbled and rolled around because of his unstable center of gravity at first, after a few days, he was able to skillfully use hydraulic explosive force to make short-distance charges.

In the real world, this former street thug used the muscles he developed in the cycle of reincarnation to successfully land a job as a personal trainer at a high-end gym.

However, according to him, he is currently facing the risk of being reported for something – because he accidentally lifted a student who was doing squats with one hand, which startled the student so much that he called the police on the spot, thinking that he had encountered some kind of bio-engineered human.

Tao Tao's situation is the most unique.

She doesn't belong to Zhang Yuan's Earth, but comes from a magical world with a pure Western fantasy background.

In Tao Tao's real world, she was a bottom-of-the-class student in the summoning department of a junior magic academy, ridiculed for her inability to summon powerful magical beasts.

But ever since she latched onto Zhang Yuan's coattails, used reward points to enhance her intelligence and mental attributes, and purchased the Interdimensional Summoning Book, her status in the academy has undergone a dramatic change.

In a recent final exam, she melted the examiner's gargoyle with [Acid Spitter], then bound the enemy like a dumpling with [Ironwood Vine]. Her calm and skillful demeanor left the other teachers and students speechless.

"Hehe, my teacher said I have the potential to become an 'Abyss Summoner'!"

During a break, Tao Tao excitedly shared with Zhang Yuan, her tone tinged with barely concealed pride, "That's a legendary profession recorded in our history books! It's said that this title is only awarded to geniuses whose mental strength is so powerful that they can communicate with other dimensions!"

"Everyone used to laugh at me for being a good-for-nothing, but now even the dean looks at me differently!"

Lin Qingyue is the most mysterious.

She spends most of her time meditating or using the [Deep Sea Silver Whetstone] to maintain her demon sword.

The repaired optical camouflage made her appear and disappear unpredictably. Several times, Zhang Yuan was drinking coffee when he turned around and found her sitting silently in the corner of the sofa, staring at him with a strange look.

But when Zhang Yuan asked her what she was doing, she coldly replied that she was just familiarizing herself with the operation of the camouflage generator.

Zhang Yuan didn't ask about her identity in reality, but judging from the impatience she occasionally showed towards modern society, she was probably a young lady with a huge family business who only wanted to practice swordsmanship, or a successor of some reclusive sect.

As for Zhang Yuan himself, apart from practicing the [Angel Wings] which is prone to crashing, he has spent most of his time in the train library and information exchange these past few days, frantically absorbing information about the train and various dimensions like a sponge.

In this deadly game, nothing is more important than living.
