Surviving on the train, my home became a hotbed of beauties!

[Train survival in progress! 10%...20%...50%...]

The cold, mechanical sound echoed in his ears, the darkness before his eyes dissipated, and Chen Jing rubbed his throbbing head.

What's going on? Have you been kidnapped?

What did I do to you? Am I still able to go home for the Chinese New Year?

Looking around, it was empty except for seven bottles of water and nine dry pieces of bread.

Chen Jing looked up, full of doubt, and a light screen with a blood-red border appeared before his eyes.

[Train Survival loading complete. Current zone: Train 10086. Beginner's Survival Manual distributed.]

[1. Each survivor starts with the same train, which needs to be modified and upgraded as the game progresses. Remember to choose your upgrade path carefully.]

2. The train will be entirely controlled by the survivors. Items on the train cannot be stolen unless a survivor is killed or voluntarily given away.

[3. Each survivor will receive a gift of awakened talent from a fallen god. The awakened talent will vary and depends entirely on the survivor's luck.]

4. The train can stop at any time to allow survivors to collect supplies or open treasure chests along the way, but be careful of the crimson fog behind you. If you fall into the crimson fog, you will die!

5. This is a chaotic place. Be wary of everyone around you. Don't let them board the train until you have them under control; they may not be trustworthy!

6. You won't feel lonely on the train; you'll face attacks from crimson monsters or hunt wild monsters to be your slaves.

7. The new player protection period is seven days. After seven days, the Crimson Mist will enter a new phase, and the Crimson Monsters will detect nearby trains!

[The beginner rules have been explained. If you still don't understand anything, just stay in the carriage and wait to die! Survival games don't welcome idiots.]

Survivors, begin your exploration! There are many more ways to play here, waiting to be discovered by you!

Chat area is now open.

The trading network is now open.

The information panel is now enabled.

[The survival guide for newcomers has been distributed]

……

The mechanical noise disappeared.

Chen Jing stared at the bottled water and bread on the table, lost in thought.

Survival on a train?

Awakening Talent?

I took a nap and suddenly I was transported to another world!

Chen Jing sat on a hard seat on the train and opened the information panel.

Survivor: Chen Jing

[Experience: Level 1 0/100 (A complete newbie, shining shoes for the veterans)]

[Train: Class 1]

[Attributes: Strength 5, Spirit 6]

[Sanity value: 100 (Note: A sanity value below 50 will trigger Crimson Invasion, below 20 will lead to madness, below 5 will lead to mental breakdown, and falling below 1 will...)]

[Talent: To be awakened]

[Personal Space (5 slots): None]

……

[You have awakened your talent, the master of pleasure!]

[You will receive one Joy Card upon waking each day, which improves your quality of life and increases the quality and drop rate of Joy Cards.]

You have obtained 1 Common Pleasure Card.

Oh hoo!

Chen Jing raised an eyebrow.

This is the awakening of a top-tier talent.

Unexpectedly, all the luck he had accumulated over half a lifetime ended up giving him a big surprise.

Praise and joy.

Without much hesitation, Chen Jing immediately played the first ordinary Pleasure card.

[You have activated a normal Pleasure card. Current critical hit chance: 1%, critical hit rate doubled: 100%]

You have received 10 soft cream-filled breads.

You have received 3 exquisite fruit platters.

You have obtained a comfortable sleeping bag*1

Food, drink, and lodging are all provided.

Chen Jing was overjoyed and began to observe his own train. At present, the train only had one locomotive and one carriage, and it looked short and weak.

[Train Class: Level 1]

[Prerequisite for upgrade: Train conductor reaches Level 2]

Upgrade required: 100 Red Crystals, 30 Units of Red Iron.

[Upgrade Unlocked: Second Storage Carriage, Basic Attack and Defense Module]

Upgrading the train only requires two materials: red crystals, which should be a basic currency for the train's survival.

I glanced at the chat panel. The friends section was quiet, but the area chat was in an uproar, and several people had died.

[Ye Fan: Brothers, I think I've awakened a system! I can collect materials to upgrade the train, and my name is Ye Fan, so hurry up and latch onto my coattails!]

[Sanyuan Tuanzi: Are you out of your mind? Doesn't everyone here have a system?]

[Ye Fan: Arrogant! I'll go gather supplies right now. I already knew this survival tactic from my past life; I was already considered a survival master.]

[Black and White Hat: Diagnosed with cerebral palsy, currently unaware of the situation and going out, really thinking he's the main character!]

As they spoke, the number of survivors above decreased by a few more.

"Tsk, looks like there are other dangers outside!"

Chen Jing's expression returned to calm. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be grateful for the talent he had gained that allowed him to survive on the train, or to grieve that he might face death at any moment.

After tidying up the carriage, the six hard seats were put together to form a bed frame, and then the sleeping bags were placed on it. I don't know what material the sleeping bags were made of, but they were very soft and could accommodate two people sleeping.

There were also donated supplies and a table for cooking. Apart from that, the carriage was unusually clean; you could say there was nothing else there.

Starting in a single train carriage, with all equipment to be scavenged?

Not even a knife?

Chen Jing helplessly rubbed his forehead. In the current situation, going out would be suicide, and the supplies given by the game could only barely last for seven days.

Seven days later, they might have to go out to collect supplies, and at that time, they would be malnourished and die even faster.

So the sooner you go out, the greater your chances of survival.

[Arrived at resource point: Crimson Town, wish to stop?]

Hearing the notification sound, Chen Jing hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Dock!"

There's no point in just letting things drag on like this, since the train still needs upgrading, and the resources provided by the Joy Cards are only enough for basic living.

We should wait until we can produce a stable output before trying to lie low.

Stepping off the train, the weather was somewhat gloomy, and all around was a wasteland, with a small town built in the wasteland not far away.

You have entered the outskirts of Crimson Town.

Monster Difficulty: Level 1

[Resource Output: Basic survival supplies, special mineral resources, random basic blueprints.]

[Caution: Being scratched by a Crimson Creature may result in infection with the Crimson Virus. Please take precautions.]

After reading the prompt, Chen Jingxin felt a chill run down her spine. Even if the crimson creatures were only level one on average, they still didn't seem like something to be trifled with.

Let's do it! Let's gamble and see if we can turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

If I encounter danger, I run away; I'll survive as long as I can.

As you enter the town, it is very quiet. The town is quite large, and the houses are well-preserved. There is a faint smell of blood in the air.

Chen Jing reluctantly found a small house, observed it for a while, and then decided to go in and find out what was going on.

After all, you should pick the softest persimmons to squeeze.

Chen Jing carefully pushed open the door and peeked through the crack.

Only after confirming there was no danger did I go inside.

Heading straight to the kitchen, Chen Jing finally saw the equipment he had been longing for!

A large black iron pot, and a kitchen knife that is still incredibly sharp.

The iron pot protects the back, while the kitchen knife is the main weapon!

Finding a rope, Chen Jing carried the iron pot on his back, forming a defensive structure. He looked in the mirror and felt a sense of familiarity.

Why does it look a bit like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

With that confidence, Chen Jing went to the vicinity of the bedroom, but instead of pushing the door open rashly, he leaned against the wall to listen for sounds.

As a series of low growls entered his ears, Chen Jing became even more certain of one thing.

These crimson creatures are not fools.

They were hiding inside without making a sound, preparing to launch a surprise attack.
