Death Train: SSS-level talent right from the start!

Chen Ye turned to Lei Xing and said, "How about exchanging a B-grade sword skill book for an elemental or archery skill of the same grade? Do you have any?"

Lei Xing's eyes lit up, even brighter than Su Jin's had been just now.

He has a physical defense-oriented talent, so it doesn't matter what weapon he uses, but his current skill, Qi Gathering Fist, is only C-level, and his lack of attack power has always been his weakness.

"I do have a skill book for archery, but it's only C-rank. Do you want to exchange it? I can add potions."

Lei Xing looked at Chen Ye, his tone tinged with a hint of probing.

"I only exchange for items of the same grade. If you obtain B-grade elemental or archery skills in the later trials, you can come to me for them."

Chen Ye shook his head, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

Lei Xing opened his mouth, wanting to try again, but when he met Chen Ye's calm eyes, he swallowed his words back.

Li Tianran stood beside Lei Xing without saying a word from beginning to end.

Su Jin breathed a slight sigh of relief when she heard Chen Ye refuse Lei Xing's words. At least she still had a chance, since Chen Ye hadn't given the skill book to Lei Xing.

"Click—"

Just then, the mechanical sound of the train doors sliding open rang out on the platform.

The doors of all eight carriages slid open simultaneously.

Those still standing on the platform moved toward their respective carriages.

Su Jin didn't say anything more, turned around and led the team into carriage number one.

Chen Ye turned around and led the team back to carriage number three.

As he stepped into carriage number three, the six-pointed star cursor above his head automatically disappeared.

He glanced at the people in the carriage.

Gu Qinghuan was already seated in her own seat by the window, her eyes half-closed, as if she were resting.

Huang Xuan and Li Jiahao also returned to the carriage and sat in their seats.

The remaining two people, both men, were sitting at the back of the carriage, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Chen Ye sat back in his seat, and the system settlement panel popped up automatically.

[Mirror City Trial Rewards Settlement!]

Survival Rating: Level A

[Kill Points: 3640]

Survival Points: 300

[Gained 3940 experience points]

[Gained 3940 point]

The screen flickered, and new information appeared.

[Level upgraded to Lv11!]

[Level upgraded to Lv12!]

[Level upgraded to Lv13!]

【Stamina: 1000 ➔ 1300】

[Energy Points: 1000 ➔ 1300]

[Strength: 50 ➔ 65]

Agility: 13 ➔ 16 (+9)

[Physical Fitness: 50 ➔ 65]

[Mental Strength: 12 ➔ 15]

[Gain 3 free attribute points (free attribute points do not benefit from talent and skill bonuses)]

Even with deliberately suppressed levels, he still leveled up 3 times in a row.

Chen Ye's gaze lingered on the attribute panel for a moment. His Strength and Constitution had jumped from 50 to 65 points, the fivefold growth effect was fully demonstrated with each level up.

If he hadn't deliberately held back and had given more opportunities to kill Zhao Hai and Wen Ning, he would have gained far more experience points than he did.

But he needs to wait.

Since Zhao Hai and Wen Ning couldn't catch up, he didn't dare to rush to level 20.

The Samsung Trial involves multiple trains competing against each other. With their current configurations, it's unwise to face those older passengers with earlier numbers.

He switched to his own properties panel.

Name: Chen Ye

[Level: Lv13 (72%)]

【Stamina: 1300/1300】

Energy Level: 1300/1300

【Strength: 65】

Agility: 16 (+9)

[Physical Fitness: 65]

【Spirit: 15】

[Talent: Superhuman Strength (SSS)]

[Skill: Heavy Cannon (B)]

Points: 6640

Free attribute points: 3 points

He allocated 3 free attribute points. Without hesitation, he added them all to Agility. In Extreme Shadow state, his Agility attribute had reached 60 points, only 5 points less than Strength and Constitution.

His points have reached 6640. At this rate, with one more trial, he should be able to accumulate 10000 points, and getting the S-rank skill selection chest before level 20 shouldn't be a problem at all.

Chen Ye closed his personal panel and switched to the ranking leaderboard.

A blue light screen unfolded before my eyes, and I glanced at the rankings from top to bottom.

Unsurprisingly, he came in first place.

Although he tried his best to have Wen Ning and Zhao Hai kill as many monsters as possible during the trial, the final Mirror Master still gave them too many points.

Following him was Gu Qinghuan, who had also reached level 13. This woman survived the pursuit of the Mirror Master for more than ten minutes without a scratch, and in the end, she even cooperated with him to kill the Mirror Master. Her strength was beyond doubt.

The third to fifth places are Su Jin, Lei Xing, and Li Tianran, all of whom have reached level 12.

Next up are Zhao Hai, Wen Ning, and Jiang Ning, all of whom have reached level 11.

Wang Ze and Xia Yan both reached level 11, ranking twelfth and fifteenth respectively.

Wang Ze's gravity field, combined with Xia Yan's teleportation upgrade, will naturally not be too slow.

Chen Ye closed the panel and turned to look at Qin Zhaoyang: "What level are you?"

Qin Zhaoyang was staring at his panel when he heard this, so he looked up and said, "I've leveled up twice, now I'm level 9."

Zhou Yating, who was in the front row, turned around and said, "I'm also level 9. Ice Arrow is only a D-level skill with double damage, so its lethality is still limited."

Chen Ye nodded slightly.

Qin Zhaoyang and Zhou Yating's levels are steadily increasing, but the problem still exists; they need more powerful skills to protect themselves.

"After reaching level 10, my active talent ability was enhanced."

Zhao Hai's voice came from across the aisle.

Chen Ye looked in the direction of the sound.

Zhao Hai sat by the window, raising his right arm. The silver-gray metallic sheen spread from his fingertips, this time not stopping at his forearm.

The metallic skin extended beyond the elbow joint, continuing upwards to cover the entire upper arm, stopping only at the shoulder.

The entire right arm, from the fingertips to the shoulder joint, had turned into a silvery-white metallic texture.

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow slightly: "You can metallize your entire arm?"

"Yes." Zhao Hai moved his metallized right arm, his five fingers spread and clenched, making a faint metallic scraping sound: "The energy consumption is also much greater than before, but the range that can be covered has indeed expanded. However, the talent multiplier has not increased; it is still three times the base value."

Chen Ye nodded thoughtfully.

He had also observed this in Gu Qinghuan: that active talent abilities grow with level.

When Gu Qinghuan was in Mirror City Square, the number of flying knives floating beside her increased from three to six. Although she eventually retrieved five of them to focus on the maximum output of one, the extra three knives did not appear out of thin air.

His passive talent didn't change at level 10, but he didn't really care.

"Brother Hai, in the next trial, your level should be able to catch up with Su Jin and the others."

Zhao Hai now has four times the base skill level, and his talent has also been enhanced. As long as he waits for Zhao Hai, it shouldn't be a problem for the two of them to reach level 20 at the same time.

Zhao Hai nodded slightly. The metallic right arm began to fade from the shoulder, moving downwards, past the elbow, the forearm, the wrist, and finally disappearing completely from the fingertips, returning to its normal skin color.

Chen Ye leaned back in his chair, his gaze falling on the chaotic gray-white expanse outside the window, his mind processing the gains and losses of this trial.

Wang Shuo and Li Zheng are dead.

This was the first time someone on their team had died. Zhao Hai was still in a low mood. He appeared to have returned to normal, but Chen Ye could tell that the feeling wouldn't go away anytime soon.

The next issue to focus on is still the ranking system.
